Chapter 106: Two Princes
Chapter 106: Two Princes
The three were naturally protected by dozens of Star Luo special forces soldiers. Wherever they went, the guards on duty bowed respectfully to them. Lefia smiled and greeted them, as if she knew everyone.
"Princess, you seem to be more popular than your sister Shan and me."
"Of course, you don't even know who I am." Lefia was a little smug.
"Princess, do you remember where your sister-in-law is?"
"Sister Shan, don't worry, I grew up here."
This royal palace of the Star Luo Empire is truly extraordinary. It is enormous. The palace buildings are magnificent and resplendent, while the pavilions and terraces are antique and elegant. The ponds are shrouded in mist and willows, with green lotus flowers, small bridges, flowing water, fragrant flowers, and singing birds. The scenery is absolutely stunning.
Lefia seemed to be captivated as well, wandering among the beautiful scenery and houses, while Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan felt like they were in a maze.
The three walked for half an hour before arriving at a magnificent palace. The steward had already informed the Queen. Sister-in-law Lefia, a very beautiful young woman, led two children by the hand as she stepped out of the palace to greet them.
"Princess, you're finally back."
"Hello, Auntie." The two little boys were very sensible.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations! It's a pity I didn't get to attend your and my brother's wedding. I never imagined my two handsome nephews would grow so tall."
"Princess, it's good to see you back. And who are these two?"
"Sister Wei Shan, Zhou Yuan."
"Aunt and Uncle are here too, what rare guests!" Sister-in-law Lefia was shrewd, and the two little boys were even more clever, their childish voices ringing out again, "Hello, Aunt and Uncle."
Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan were quite embarrassed, but Lefia was overjoyed; her two nephews were so well-behaved.
The three exchanged glances and, as if by magic, each produced two identical gifts from their hands. These gifts were naturally a greeting present between the two children, a custom that the Earth Empire has not yet abandoned.
Lefia's gift was a rotating blue holographic star charter; Wei Shan's gift was a specially made Earth Empire fleet emblem; and Zhou Yuan's gift was a specially made slingshot that Earth children love to play with!
"Sister-in-law, what are the names of my two nephews?"
"Leidafi, Ledaya".
Lefia was naturally intelligent and immediately realized that the last character of her two nephews' names was her own, which was naturally because Leidam still missed her.
Lefia didn't say anything. She took out her lightsaber, adjusted the beam and power, and engraved the names of her two nephews on the blue holographic star charter, the badge, and the slingshot. Then she handed them to the two nephews. "Eldest nephew, little nephew, remember, this is a gift from the three of us to you. You must take good care of it. Your aunt, eldest aunt, and this son-in-law will be checking it from now on. Also, you two must love each other and not quarrel."
"Auntie, please rest assured, your nephews understand."
"Princess, let's go inside and talk. It's not appropriate to do this outside."
"Ok."
As the group entered the palace, the three women naturally started chatting again, while Zhou Yuan played with the two children.
“Son-in-law, my father said you came from the Milky Way galaxy, which is that big vortex in our sky.”
"Yes, Leydaya, you are very smart. Your aunt has loved gazing at the Milky Way since she was a child."
"Yes, my dad often talks about my aunt, saying that she likes adventure."
"Young master, this slingshot doesn't seem very sturdy. I just pulled it, and it looks like it's about to crack." Lei Dafei held up the slingshot and handed it to Zhou Yuan.
When Zhou Yuan took a look at the slingshot, he was indeed surprised to see the bending marks. This Leidafei's arm strength was extraordinary. No Earth child had such strength, and even most Earth adults did not have this arm strength.
"Leidafei, you used too much force this time. In the future, you need to pull and release slowly, and don't be too impatient. I'll give you a new one." Zhou Yuan produced a new slingshot, this time personally engraving Leidafei's name on it, and then writing "Presented by Zhou Yuan" on it.
"Thank you, son-in-law." Lei Dafei held the new slingshot and the old slingshot, playing with them for a long time.
Zhou Yuan then gifted Leidaya a new slingshot, engraving it with both his name and his own.
"Young master, can you teach me how to use this holographic star chart?" Leidaya seemed to be just like his aunt, very curious about new things.
"it is good."
Zhou Yuan began to teach Ledaya how to use the holographic star charter seriously. Actually, the holographic star charter is very simple. The main thing is how to start it. Once it is started, the star charter is very intelligent. You don't need to operate it. As long as you look at a certain place, the star chart will roll towards you.
As the massive galaxy clusters and realistic planets came rushing towards them, Lydaya initially exclaimed in surprise, then became completely engrossed, constantly changing the galaxies and planets. Lydaya was also drawn over, and the two children were having a blast. Zhou Yuan seemed to be enjoying himself as well, telling the two children what kind of galaxy it was, what kind of stars it was, and also telling them various myths and legends about constellations and stars.
Time really flies. While the three women were still chatting happily and Zhou Yuan and the two children were still playing harmoniously, the butler announced that His Majesty Leidam wanted to see the three princesses.
"Girl, have you seen your sister-in-law?"
"I met her. My sister-in-law is very beautiful. We got along very well. Leidafei and Leidaia are very handsome and cute."
"You're not young anymore, you should settle down and start a family soon."
"Brother, let's not talk about this now. How did your discussion go?"
"After much discussion with my ministers, we've decided to join the Pan-Star Alliance. The Royal Academy of Sciences will send top scientists to the Earth Empire. I've decided to send Ryder as my plenipotentiary representative to attend the Alliance's founding conference and sign the agreement. Zhou Yuan, I have a request."
"Your Majesty, please speak plainly."
“I hope you will allow my two children, Lydaf and Lydaya, to also go to the Earth Empire for further studies.”
"Huh?!" Wei Shan exclaimed in surprise, while Lefia seemed quite calm.
Although Zhou Yuan was momentarily agitated, he quickly calmed down, which was probably due to Lydam's exceptional abilities.
"Your Majesty, this shouldn't be a problem, but can you really trust the two of them?"
“What’s there to worry about? They’re all grown up now and will have to go out and explore sooner or later. Lefia is right, the outside world is vast, and we can’t be arrogant and complacent.” This time, Lydam didn’t call Lefia “little girl.”
"But would your sister-in-law be willing to do that?"
"What's there to be reluctant about? We Xingluo people aren't that delicate. You two need to keep an eye on them while they're out there."
"Brother, of course."
"Then it's settled. When are you coming to pick them up?"
"Your Majesty, if possible, we will set off the day after tomorrow to take them to the Earth Empire."
"The day after tomorrow? Good. Ryder, notify the Academy of Sciences to select thirty top scientists, and also notify the Queen to prepare the two boys."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, we will provide you with real-time video communication equipment customized for the Star Luo people by the four Earth Empires. You need not worry about intergalactic communication with your scientists or the two princes."
"Really? That's great, thank you." Although Lydam was ruthless, she was naturally overjoyed to have intergalactic communication equipment, at least the children's mother and children could communicate without any problems.
Do other alliance members also have this intergalactic communication device?
“We are manufacturing it based on the languages and communication methods of various civilizations. In eight or nine days, all alliance members will have this communication device.”
"Hmm, this is good."
"However, Your Majesty, if alliance members need to communicate with each other, the signals need to be translated and censored by the Empire."
“Of course.” Leidam thought to himself, if the members of the alliance conspired, it would be terrible. If it were him, he would probably prohibit communication between members or deliberately set up technical barriers to prevent them from communicating with each other. Leidam admired the Earth Empire for doing this.
"Welcome to our banquet tonight to welcome the princess and celebrate our alliance. Lefia, please take the two of them to rest. Your room has already been cleaned."
"Thank you, brother."
Lefia was clearly in high spirits, and she even started humming a little tune.
"Princess, today is truly a wonderful day."
"Yes, Sister Shan. My brother and I have had a strained relationship for hundreds of years, but today I found that he seems to have changed a lot, so of course I'm happy."
"Your brother is truly awe-inspiring."
"Brother Zhou, you think so too?"
"Yes, he has the spirit of Xiang Yu and the magnanimity of Liu Bang, a perfect combination of the two, making him a rare and talented leader."
"What Xiang Yu and Liu Bang? How can they compare to my brother? In the eyes of the Xingluo people, my brother is a great emperor who is one in ten thousand years."
"I, Zhou Yuan, am a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius." Zhou Yuan's bad habit resurfaced.
"Go ahead and blow as hard as you can."
"Hehe, you two stop arguing, you're not children anymore."
"Sister Shan, I'll listen to you."
The three chatted and laughed along the way, not finding it boring at all, and soon arrived at Princess Lefia's palace. From the outside, this palace was even larger and more luxurious than the Queen's palace. Many servants were already lined up outside to welcome them. Although the Star Luo Empire had a strict hierarchy, the servants and servants were all very respectable, each one radiant and spirited, unlike the lowly status of royal servants in the Earth Era.
Lefia, of course, personally led Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan on a tour of her palace, which was indeed quite large. The three of them toured the palace, and finally arrived at Princess Lefia's boudoir. Zhou Yuan was initially embarrassed, but with the help of the two beauties, he finally stepped into Lefia's boudoir.
Lefia's boudoir was naturally furnished as a princess would, including the hairpins and star charts she used as a child, all neatly arranged. Lefia's eyes welled up with tears.
That night, the entire Star Luo Empire reveled all night long, and the imperial city was especially festive and lively.
Joyful gatherings are always short-lived. Lefia finally had to say goodbye to Leidam and her sister-in-law. It was clear that Leidam was also somewhat reluctant to part with his two children. Leidam and his wife stroked the heads of the two children and gave them some words of advice. The two children nodded repeatedly.
“Brother, sister-in-law, if you miss your nephew, just use that device to call us if anything happens. You know I’m not home often, but I’ve asked the housekeeper and servants to take good care of them.”
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Imperial Star Bureau has excellent and advanced educational facilities and educational philosophies. I believe they will make rapid progress."
"Leidafi, Ledaya, back in the Earth Empire, study hard and be good people. Never cause trouble. I hope you will both be heroes when you grow up."
"Don't worry, we won't bring shame to the Star Luo people."
After a tearful farewell, the group of over sixty people, including Ryder from the Star Luo Empire, thirty top scientists, two princes, and some Star Luo guards, were teleported to the Seventh Fleet by light.
The Seventh Fleet set off for the Milky Way, while the other four accompanying fleets began their return to their fleet base in the Andromeda Galaxy.
