Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent

Chapter 174 Baby Robot 17

The news that the King of the Pound Star was beheaded by Hutt spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire empire like a wave, causing a huge sensation.

The star network, the streets, the entire Koser Empire was filled with joy and excitement.

The young man who was once looked down upon in their eyes turned out to be the one who sheltered them from the wind and rain when the building was about to collapse, and he became famous overnight.

In the royal palace, in the administrative hall.

The sound of things being smashed continued to come from inside, and the servants guarding outside the door held their breath and dared not make any noise.

Ever since Hutt obtained the head of the emperor and the whole empire celebrated excitedly, His Majesty has been angry every few days and recently executed an innocent servant who was implicated.

Edgeworth appeared at this juncture.

Seeing the person coming, the servant breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door for him.

When His Majesty is furious, the situation will only improve if Edgeworth appears.

Inside the hall, Isabel smashed another set of tea sets, and the hall was in a mess.

"Nowadays, people outside are flattering Hurt, but they don't remember me as their king."

Edgeworth picked up the debris at her feet and said, "You are the ruler of the entire Koser Empire. No one can surpass you."

Isabel was still furious: "It's all because of that idiot Addison. He actually let Arnold run away. Without Arnold's restraint, Hurt will definitely try to usurp the throne."

"Gibbon's prediction was indeed correct. Edmund is the nemesis of the royal family. He is a heretic and must be eradicated."

Edgeworth: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help you eliminate dissidents."

Isabel's expression softened: "You are the only one around me who is devoted to me."

"It is an honor to serve your majesty."

The next morning, the news that Isabel summoned Hurt back to the main city was delivered to the border.

It goes without saying that Isabel had no good intentions in summoning Hurt back this time.

The main emperor had just been eliminated, and now was a good opportunity to wipe out the Pound people, but at this juncture, Hutt, the main officer, was asked to go back.

Song Xun objected: "Why go back? Just stay here."

No matter how powerful the royal family is in the inner city, they cannot interfere in the border military area at will. This place is a natural protection barrier belonging to Hutt.

He suddenly placed his fingers between his eyebrows and smoothed out his frown.

"I haven't settled the score with her yet, I can't just let it go. Don't worry, I'm not the puppet she manipulated like before."

In the year since I came to the border, some past events that had been buried under time have gradually been unearthed.

From his father's adjutant, Hurt learned the secret story before his parents' death.

Both his parents died in a mental riot, but it was just an ordinary battle. How could it cause two battle-hardened veterans to lose their lives in it?

The adjutant had seen someone enter the marshal's tent the night before, looking nervous and panicked, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

It wasn't until the marshal and his wife, Lieutenant General Debbie, died that he noticed anything was wrong.

However, he discovered that the soldier who first entered the marshal's tent had died mysteriously, or more likely had been silenced.

After investigation, the adjutant learned that the man had come from the palace.

Even though he had long realized that Isabel was related to his parents' death, when he was really sure about it, Hutt still couldn't help feeling hatred.

His parents never had any second thoughts and dedicated their entire lives to protecting the peace of the empire.

Isabel just couldn't tolerate them, couldn't tolerate the Edmund family.

Hutt's eyes were dark as he fell into deep thought, and the scar at the end of his eyebrow seemed to reveal a hint of blood.

Song Xun hesitated to speak and finally gave up trying to persuade her any further.

Hutt saw his worry and pulled him to his side. There was a warm tenderness in his eyes and he gently played with his hair.

"I'm prepared. Be cheerful. You have to get back what you've been bullied about."

Song Xun tilted his head slightly, stared at the floor and responded in a low voice.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but ever since that night in the mecha, I've felt differently when facing Hurt's more intimate actions.

-

The day before departure, Song Xun saw the lake in Hutt's mouth.

At first glance, I was shocked by the magnificent scenery of the emerald green lake and the surrounding golden desert.

Hurt talked about the only time he was taken to the border as a child, and his reaction when he saw this lake was exactly the same.

The night view in the desert is gorgeous, with bright stars filling the sky.

It was at this time that Song Xun discovered that Hurt's eyes were not completely blue, but mixed with a light dark green.

When looking into the distance quietly, it appears sad and peaceful, like the lake in front of you, or like the vast ocean.

So deep that you can’t see the bottom.

So Songxun began to try to understand that Hurt was no longer the child who needed care and coaxing, he was growing up.

Gradually becoming like an adult male.

He shouldn't treat Hurt as the awkward, tantrum-throwing kid on his back anymore.

The next day, warships returning from the border passed over Tubusi.

The streets were filled with flags fluttering in the wind to express welcome and attention to Hutt's return.

In addition to the sunflowers representing the empire, there are also flags belonging exclusively to the Edmund family.

The streets were tightly blocked by the crowds of people welcoming them.

Song Xun looked down from the window and seemed to hear the excited cheers from underground.

And this originally belonged to Hurt, but it was delayed for a long time.

No wonder Isabel was so anxious to call Hurt back. This scene was enough to keep her awake for several nights.

According to convention, airships were not allowed to enter the palace, but in order to show welcome to Hutt, an exception was made and the airship was allowed to land in the palace.

Isabel had already brought people to wait in front of the palace.

Hutt wore a black military cape, with golden braids swaying slightly with his movements, and medals of high rank worn on his shoulders.

He saluted casually, his chin slightly raised.

This ceremony is not very sincere.

Isabel seemed not to notice, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"Good boy, I was right about you."

Hutt curled his lips and said, "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Majesty."

"I have prepared a triumphal banquet for you. You must be exhausted from the long journey. Take a rest first. I will send someone to call you in the evening."

After hearing the polite words, Song Xun perked up and smelled the scent of conspiracy.

Hutt's expression remained calm: "I will definitely be there on time."

He refused Isabel's invitation to live in the palace.

The warship went straight back from the palace to Edmund's residence.

At the entrance of the castle, Edgeworth was the first to step forward and hold the hatch for Hutt, saying with concern:

"I have prepared the room for you. Young Master has lost weight. I have asked the chef to prepare your favorite meals."

"Would you like to rest or have a meal first?"

His question did not receive a response, and Hutt did not rush into the house. Instead, he turned around and waited for Song Xun from the warship to come down before entering the house together.

Lamb rushed over from Edgeworth and complimented him flatteringly: "The Major General looks really smart in this suit. Congratulations on your military exploits. You must be tired, Master. I'll bring lunch to your room later."

"Row."

Edgeworth, who was pushed to the back, had an unsightly look on his face. He stared at the group of people who were surrounded by him, with a dark look in his eyes.

After the servants brought the food and took Hurt's clothes away to clean them up, they all left and closed the door quietly.

Song Xun felt a little emotional as he hadn't been back for a year.

When I turned around, I found that Hutt had already lay down.

It must be said that this person has always had a very good attitude.

Hutt was not worried about the dinner party in the evening. He waved to him and said, "Come and lie down with me."

Song Xun: "Aren't you worried about what might happen at the dinner?"

Hutt put his hands under his head and said, "How could you think I wasn't prepared?"

Song Xun stared at him for a while and found that Hurt was hiding a lot of things from him, so he turned around and walked out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Hutt shouted from behind.

"Leave me alone."

Song Xun stayed secretly in another empty room for the whole afternoon, and after it got dark, he accompanied Hutt onto the airship.

When Hurt asked him where he had been right away, he raised his chin in a profound manner.

"Don't I have something of my own to talk about that is inconvenient for me to talk to you about?"

Hutt shook his head in a puzzled manner and stopped asking.

Inside the palace hall.

All the invited nobles and some officers serving in the inner city have already taken their seats, waiting for Hutt, the protagonist of the night, to arrive.

Hurt was placed in a high position, with the eldest prince Yates still beside him.

After all, some things have changed.

As a child, Hurt served as a tool for Isabel's performance, relying on her false kindness, but this time, he didn't need to look at anyone's face.

Edgeworth also accompanied him into the palace this time. It was he who proposed it, and Hutt did not refuse.

Song Xun and he stood behind Hurt, but Hurt did not sit down and waved to the servants.

"Add another chair."

The servant didn't understand what was going on, but he quickly carried out the order and added another soft chair to his seat.

Song Xun knew that Hutt was going to cause trouble, and before he could say anything, he was pushed down by the shoulders and sat on the chair.

Yates on the side couldn't control his expression and looked unhappy.

The nobles below also looked uncomfortable. It was ridiculous to tell others that a caring robot was sitting on their heads.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to stand up.

Isabel, who was sitting at the top, was smiling and talking, as if she was totally unaware of the undercurrents surging below.

He toasted Hutt: "The Empire is so lucky to have a general like you, who can help the country and the people to find peace."

"I toast to you on behalf of the entire empire."

Edgeworth bent over to pour Hurt's drink and put it into his hands.

"Master, please use it."

Hutt took it, sat firmly in the soft chair without getting up, and rubbed his fingers on the wine glass.

Yaoyao raised his glass to Isabel.

Isabel smiled and drank it all in one gulp with her eyes slightly lowered.

When he put the glass down again, he saw Hutt still holding the glass without touching his lips.

The smile on her lips faded, and her eyes were full of majesty.

"Why, do you think this wine is not to your taste, or do you think my toast is inappropriate?"

The wine in Hutt's hand hit the table with a slight sound.

"Wine is good, but if it can kill someone, you can't drink it."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.

Isabel said calmly, "I didn't expect you to be so suspicious of me. Since you are worried, I will summon the doctor."

Following the order, the medical officer arrived in less than half a minute.

He poured a few drops of the wine on the table into the dedicated test card slot, and seeing that there was no change in the instrument, he turned around and faced everyone.

"There's no poison in the wine."

Isabel: "Are you relieved now?"

Hutt sneered: "Since it's not poisonous, why don't you take a sip first, Your Majesty?"

"How dare you..." The middle-aged man sitting opposite stood up suddenly, pointed at Hutt's nose and cursed, "Your Majesty is kind enough to toast you, but you don't appreciate it, and you dare to disrespect His Majesty. You are so arrogant."

Hornbieber, who had lost his title because Beecher pushed Hutt into the water, had his title restored a few years ago and was an absolute supporter of Isabel's side.

Maren stared at Hurt in front of him with sinister eyes.

"He has only won a few battles, but he has become arrogant. I think such an ignorant minister should be dragged out to the street and beheaded in public."

He negated Hurt's achievements over the past year by saying "it's just a few victories".

During the year on the border, whenever there was a battle, Hutt was always the first to rush to the front. In the tents late at night, candles were lit brightly as people planned the battle.

But what are these people doing? They are living a life of luxury and dissipation.

That's ridiculous.

Yates, who was standing by, could no longer pretend to be tolerant and open-minded: "Mother has always taken good care of you, how can you say such a thing?"

As if he heard something interesting, Hutt laughed, raised his glass and suddenly handed it to Edgeworth.

"Since no one drinks for me, you can do it."

Edgeworth's mind was instantly in turmoil, and there was tension in his eyes.

"How dare I drink the young master's wine."

"I command you to drink."

Faced with Hurt's relentless pressure, Edgeworth looked up at Isabel for help.

But she didn't speak for a long time.

There was a moment of suspicion on the field, and everyone exchanged glances.

It's just a glass of wine, just drink it, no need to be so nervous.

Everyone noticed that Edgeworth was looking at Isabel frequently, and they were all very secretive for a moment.

Hutt picked up his glass and stood up: "Since you don't want to admit it, let me say it."

"This glass of wine is not simple. It contains an inducing agent that can cause mental riots. It is also the real culprit that caused my parents' death that year."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar and chaos in the audience.

You should know that mental power inducing agents are drugs that are expressly prohibited by the empire. Back then, the drugs were manufactured to enhance mental power, but after they were officially sold, they caused mental riots and deaths of tens of thousands of people.

It had long been destroyed by royal order.

How could it happen again and even involve the cause of death of the Sari couple?

If that is true, this trick is really killing people without being seen. The inducer will not take effect immediately. It may take a day or even half a month.

By then, if anything happens to Hurt, it will only be considered as the mental sequelae caused by fighting on the border. Just like his parents' unfortunate deaths, it will only be a pity for a while and will be forgotten as time goes by.

Hurt: "If anyone has any doubts about what I said, just give it a try and you will know."

Isabel, who was sitting at the top, suddenly stood up and pointed at Edgeworth behind Hurt.

"Catch this treacherous servant and execute him immediately."
