Chapter 23： chapter 23 (1/2)

At that moment, Gavin almost lost consciousness, completely slumped in Heinrich's arms, and his strong sense of being taken over made him dizzy.

Heinrich finally sent him to the airship with full heart, because the sense of victory was so strong that the discomfort of ”sending his own hands away” in his instincts subsided a lot. Edna trembled with anger, and just grabbed Caroline for a moment, and made a snoring gesture.

”The Mecha League will go and watch.” Heinrich turned around and said casually: ”You just wait to hand over the Phoenix.”

With a wave of his hand, he strode back down the promenade. Edna could hardly wait to pounce on him, but was fortunately stopped by Caroline.

The fiery fox sent them back to the Royal Military Academy, and Gavin leaned groggyly in the back row along the way, unable to see if he was still awake.

Caroline and Edna didn't say a word. It wasn't until the hot fox stopped downstairs in the dormitory that Gavin awakened after a chill, and pushed the door softly with his hands and feet.

Edna leaned forward to say something, but Gavin seemed to have eyes behind her and waved her resolutely.

”but……”

Gavin thumped the door and swayed upstairs.

”He was impatient,” Caroline whispered when there were only two of them left in the airship. ”The marshal was never a good man to control.”

Edna patted the armrest of the chair fiercely, and gritted her teeth: ”Heinrich is not worthy of being an emperor at all, he is a robber!”

”He wants Silia, and there is a similar thing without authenticity-do you know what Silia means to him? That is his teacher, who taught him all kinds of political means and military knowledge, and took him from nothing. Of low-ranking military academies promoted to Alliance Titans; it was his boss who directed him to fight so many famous battles and rewarded him with honour and status that he has never had in his life; or a goal that he could never reach in his life, With his unimaginable knowledge and wisdom accumulated over five hundred years, he can easily solve difficult problems that he cannot solve ... ”

Carolyn paused and said: ”The empire is now facing various difficulties. Heinrich cannot deal with it alone. Under the existing political system, he would not dare to disperse his power too much, otherwise it would be easy to cultivate new ones. The dictator overthrows himself; but he also needs to decentralize decision-making power, so the first thing he needs to do is to reform the system. ”

”Restoring alliances?” Edna asked sensitively.

”Maybe, it may not be so thorough.” Caroline shook her head and said, ”The problem is that this reform will completely affect the interests of the authorities and cause turmoil and panic in the bottom society; Heinrich's personal prestige It's not enough. He doesn't dare to challenge all those who oppose him, but it will be different if Silia is added. ”

”The Marshal is a person who has died on the altar. If he has offspring, his offspring will be regarded as the inheritance and symbol of the spirit of the alliance, which can greatly alleviate the panic of reform in all walks of life and enhance their influence on the emperor. confidence.”

Caroline slowly said, ”Heinrich needs such a descendant. If it can't make the real thing, it's okay to make a fake one.”

Edna lost her voice: ”He can't make the real thing, the body in the Phoenix is--”

”It's lp,” Caroline said flatly. ”Thankfully he doesn't know it yet.”

There was silence in the cabin, and both of them thought about the upcoming military mech league.

”... Caroline,” Edna asked softly after a long time, ”in fact, you agree with Heinrich's reform, don't you?”

Caroline nodded.

Edna suddenly turned her head, and the porthole reflected her mixed disappointment and unwillingness.

”I've never wanted to hide you from this,” Caroline whispered, and asked, ”You have nothing ... to hide me, right?”

Edna was silent for a long time, and said lightly, ”Neither am I.”

When Gavin returned to the dormitory, he slumped into the bed with no strength to get up.

The muscles in his body were sore and numb, the blood vessels were swollen and painful in the body, and his brain seemed to be frozen by some sweet and thick liquid, and he couldn't rotate.

His second-generation roommate, Jing Ge, came back in the middle, humming Geer to take out the food, and was shocked by the thick lp breath in the room as soon as he entered the door. The instincts of the same kind instantly made him sweat. They all exploded: ”What's going on! Gavin ?! What happened to Gavin ?!”

Gavin Chan heard his cry but couldn't hear it and couldn't make a sound.

Jinge slammed the take-out box on the table, rushed to Gavin's bedroom, and pushed the door open. He was immediately forced to step back by two strong pheromones: ”This is-who is this? Are you not bt? ?What happened?!”

”...” Gavin was exhausted. ”Go out.”

Jinge didn't wait for him to say it again, and slammed the door shut again.

He seemed to be stuck with a needle, and jiē's instincts when he touched Heinrich's pheromone issued a strong warning to him-this smell belongs to an extremely fierce lp, older, stronger and more aggressive than him , Absolutely not to provoke.

The sense of threat was too clear, Jinge turned around several times in the living room, always upset and unable to sit down. At last he had the courage to knock on the door, and trembled, ”Jay ... Gavin, I put the dinner on the table. Can you come out and get it yourself?”

”... Go out.”

Jing Ge immediately headed out of the dormitory and ran to the library overnight.

That night Gavin couldn't tell whether he was asleep or not, and his consciousness wandered between soberness and nagging. He closed his eyes vaguely in the early morning.

He dreamed that he had returned to the sun-drenched air corridor, and Heinrich pushed him dead against the wall, as if a male beast protruded against his spouse, and there was undisguised blood in his eyes: ”Very You will be back soon, you know? ”

... why is this the case? How can I be controlled?

Gavin had a strong voice in his heart urging him to struggle, but in his dreams his hands and feet were weak; he tried his best to speak reprimand, but he only made a gasp of despair.

Heinrich smiled, his eyes full of mixed light of lameness and hunger, and bowed his head and kissed the corner of his mouth.

”You won't leave again,” he whispered in his ear. ”This time will never happen again.”

Gavin's strong pheromone breath did not fade until the third day.
