Chapter 177 Sooner or Later, There Will Be a Home for Everyone
3 month 18 day.
Lunden.
Downing Street, Prime Minister's Office.
The ministers from various fields sitting at the conference table looked serious.
"Prime Minister, you seem to have overlooked one point."
"Ok?"
“Whether Her Highness Eliza is the eldest heir of the Eliza family who has only appeared so far, if the outside world knows about the existence of the next new queen at this moment, it will attract criticism.”
"Whose criticism?"
After Stray asked this, the minister remained silent again.
"federal?"
"parliament?"
"you?"
"Or the Moon Kingdom?"
Stray sneered, "Some people have been kneeling for too long. What were we before? The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. What are we now? A vassal of some hegemonic power?"
"In order to avoid criticism, it was not exposed to the outside world before."
"Now that she has recovered, according to the constitution and the system, it should be hers. This is her right."
"..."
vote.
2/3 supported it and 1/3 abstained.
"Prime Minister, I resign."
This was a result that those who abstained from voting had foreseen long ago. The party disputes in Eagle Country were much simpler than those in Moon Country. Being able to become prime minister meant that the party behind Stray had won.
Even if these people resigned, Strayer would let them resign voluntarily.
The Eagle Nation has lost too much of its own position and has been following the footsteps of the Moon Nation without restriction, giving in step by step.
The once mighty empire now has only a little bit of fleeting glory worthy of praise.
After that group of people left, Stray stood up.
"Also, let's arrange a public meeting regarding the Moon Nation fine."
"We also need to use this matter to demonstrate our attitude towards safeguarding national interests."
That was just an excuse.
The traffic jams and economic losses caused by receiving the Moon Country ambassadors are too numerous to count.
“There is still room for discussion on the 2024 sanctions list.”
"With regard to the Snow Country, we have a mutually dependent economic relationship and can adopt a more friendly and inclusive attitude."
"..."
"A referendum on Brexit will be launched in the near future."
"..."
The people below looked at each other.
Everyone realizes that although the new prime minister was born into the Conservative Party, he does not seem to be conservative at all.
After the meeting, Straye rushed to Windsor Castle without stopping.
Miao Xueer was reading various books in the study, and her personal maids were by her side.
"Your Highness Eliza, from today on you will be active in the public eye as the eldest son of the current queen."
"Really? That's good."
Mu Xueer is not interested in when she can actually ascend the throne in the public eye.
On the surface, being the eldest heir of one's own generation is not a big deal.
"In addition, according to the records in the book."
"I ask for your blessing to show that the glory of the Toth family is still continuing correctly."
"..."
The so-called blessing is a curse engraved in the blood of the descendants of Eliza and the descendants of the Toss family.
That was made by Mu Xueer's grandmother.
As long as there is corresponding blood flowing, Miao Xueer can sense it and control it.
But the 'curse' has become much weaker as time goes by, and it may not be useful anymore.
And for some reason, what should have been a "curse" became a "blessing" in their eyes. It seemed that only those who were blessed were recognized as leaders by the ancestors of the Eliza royal family.
Miao Xueer agreed more with what Su Ming said in his message that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, and she didn't like to continue with the original approach.
Why rely on manipulation to do things if you don’t have to sleep anymore?
However, at least for those of me who do not have enough talent for the time being, after receiving the blessing, I can guarantee that the people around me will be absolutely loyal.
"Okay, on behalf of the Eliza royal family, I acknowledge your contribution."
"After three days, you will be allowed to come and receive the blessing."
It's also very simple to do.
It's just a matter of squeezing out some blood, refining it, decorating it, and letting people drink it.
"Thank you for your gift. Regarding your attitude towards the Snow Country, I hope you won't mix too much personal emotion into it."
"Mr. Plato is Mr. Plato, and the state is the state."
"I know."
To be honest, Miao Xueer felt a little regretful.
If I had been more willful and followed Plato, I wouldn't have had to get up early in the morning to read more books in the library than in the royal palace more than 700 years ago.
My head is going to explode.
Why did you want to come back immediately?
Besides the fact that she couldn't stand seeing Su Ming being bullied and she had no way to fight back, there was more to it.
Businessmen can make money.
And she obviously couldn't make much money.
The little guy's skills completely overwhelmed her. Frustration.
Is it true that beauty is the only thing worth praising for a royal family?
Strength and money are nothing but paper in the face of absolute power.
It won't be all unpleasant scenarios.
For example, when she has absolute power in the future and becomes a real queen, and wants Su Ming to be her servant, will he dare to object?
They kept talking about the guillotine, but they didn't pull him over.
If he gets angry again, I will have to take him to lie down.
hum.
Coincidentally, Mu Xueer was flipping through the book and came across the queen's succession system.
Huh?
Still working at 70?
Will it be automatically inherited to the next generation only after death?
"You can choose to automatically give it up to the next generation, provided you have offspring."
"..."
Offspring.
If I did that that day, would I get pregnant?
I didn't feel anything unusual.
Forget it.
If there is, throw it to him.
I had said before that I would bring him to see you once a month. If he still said that, it means he agreed.
"What kind of visa exemption is this?"
"We have visa exemption for the Snow Country, why don't they have visa exemption for us?"
"It's a very complex international situation and the various relationships between the two countries. If you want to understand this, you need to know a lot of things."
"..."
Why does wondering about one word give rise to so many questions?
At first I thought learning how to use a bathtub was troublesome enough.
study!
He said it himself that he has talent.
If you can't even learn this basic, how dare you call yourself the master?!
The maid looked at Miao Xueer who was immersed in the sea of books and smiled at her.
"It's hard to imagine that the Queen lived for more than seven hundred years."
"But no one has ever stipulated that if you live for more than 700 years, you must be dead."
The maid smiled and said, "The Queen is your eldest daughter."
"...Stop talking. I was planning to travel to Singapore."
"..."
"But perhaps assisting the true queen who founded the country more than 700 years ago until now is greater than anything I have done so far."
"Sounds like taking care of a child."
"Hey! I can hear everything you two say!"
As two people who spend every day with Miao Xueer, they are already very familiar with Miao Xueer's habits.
It's called serving.
It's more like taking care of a friend who has little experience.
In fact, Miao Xueer was greatly influenced by Su Ming. She would never take a bath with a maid before. At most, she would let the maid serve her.
But now I feel exhausted after reading and learning various things every day.
If the maid was still just a maid and couldn't say anything, she would be annoyed to death.
Over time, she even pulled the current Queen, who often appeared by her side, into the pool to bathe together. After all, the pool in Windsor Castle was big enough.
"I envy you so much."
Now that they have finished a busy day, they soak in the pool together again.
"What are you envious of?"
Miu Xueer turned around following the sound and saw the Queen's baby canteen, which was at least twice as big as her, and the maid who was lying by the pool more comfortably than her. She was at least three times bigger than her.
"I envy your skin. No matter how I look at it, it's flawless."
"..."
Miao Xueer felt it was a mockery.
they……
Especially the maid who was still lazily leaning on the edge of the pool, her breasts were half floating up and swaying with the water flow.
No matter how Miao Xueer moved around, the baby canteen couldn't move with her.
White is good of course!
But what's the use of being so small?
"Wow, Queen?"
"Don't call me Queen. From now on I'm just Her Royal Highness Eliza."
What's good about this stuff?
Purely redundant.
Is that guy's skill good because of his small chest? No... drag? Wind resistance?
There was a lot of fuss.
She spoke breathlessly, "Your Highness Eliza, we are planning to visit the Snow Country next month. Will you go?"
"Snow Country?"
"Yes, Mr. Plato's hometown."
"Don't go."
He didn't call or send me a message. It was as if he had completely forgotten about me when he left.
It’s hard to say whether he is still doing dirty things with that guy now.
Don't go.
Anyone who goes there is a dog, unless he calls and says he wants to see me.
"Wow."
The maid, who had been enjoying it with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and went to Miao Xueer to help her rub her back.
He said casually, "There is still more than a month left. You will have learned enough to follow the delegation to the Snow Country. Mr. Stray will take care of state affairs. After you go there, you can follow the delegation to visit companies. You are free to move around."
"I didn't say I was going."
"Okay, but if you want to experience the culture of the Snow Country more deeply, you have to find a way to learn the basic Snow Country language."
"I told you I'm not going!"
"Okay, do you like the scent of jasmine?"
"..."
In fact, I quite enjoy the current atmosphere, no matter what. I can devote myself to a career that is great enough in any way, and I can live a young life because of Mu Xueer.
In the past, she would never be teased by a woman.
"Woooaaa! What are you doing?!"
"Your Highness Eliza, it's a courtesy to return the favor. Didn't Mr. Plato tell you that?"
"Stop it!"
It is even more impossible for him to take revenge after being teased again.
40 years old.
But because of the new queen, I have the mentality of a 20-year-old.
A love spanning more than 700 years, I'm not lying, I'm really envious. Born in a royal family, let alone more than 700 years... I've never heard of a fairy tale that spanned seven years.
3 month 20 day.
Canada.
The wetland park on the edge of the town. The scenery is really nice.
The vast forest was covered with a layer of snow, and the lake was very beautiful when it was frozen and shining in the sunlight.
"call……"
If you take a walk, you will definitely feel very happy.
But Su Ming is now running with a weight of 5 kilograms, running 5 kilometers on a stone road with ups and downs.
"Big brother, come on."
"..."
Gasping for air.
Facing Xia Ye who was doing so well ahead of him, Su Ming was speechless. This was already the fourth 5-kilometer run today.
My clothes are soaked with sweat. Once I stop, I feel the biting cold. I am wearing only a sports vest.
It doesn’t stop when I get home.
"13."
"14."
"..."
I saw in the video that the girlfriend sat on his back and did push-ups.
Su Ming is doing this in the living room now.
The swaying tender feet wrapped in white silk are really beautiful.
Summer nights are not too heavy. But without weapons, I often do a set of 100 push-ups and sit-ups. Or after running.
“No.”
"Right now, big brother can't rest yet, he hasn't reached his limit yet."
"..."
so tired.
I really want to lie down on the ground and fall asleep.
"No, lazy."
"Come on."
But every time we reach our limit, we enjoy a sweet deep kiss.
"Big brother, you are the best."
Are you coaxing the kids?
My pants were never dry throughout the day and were covered in sweat.
I want to ask if it is effective?
Su Ming didn't know, anyway, Xia Ye took off his instructor's identity at night and put on the black Jeanne d'Arc cosplay that had been preserved from ten years ago, and it was pleasant to hear her meowing.
She said nothing.
She is also exercising.
He did not resist any external invasion at all and faced Su Ming in the most vulnerable posture.
"Big brother, 6 seconds longer than yesterday."
"3 times, a total of 39 seconds more."
"..."
I always feel like I'm being pua.
Can a few extra seconds every day add up to a lot?
But I think it should be really useful.
"Big brother, it's so bitter that Xiaoye can't hold it in."
"Can't you?"
"..."
I never used weapon enhancement once during training.
The tail is really addictive. I used to seldom tease her because I was afraid she would lose control.
And now I can pinch it whenever I want.
Su Ming carefully held Xia Ye's tail from below. The warm and red tail seemed to be even warmer than before.
He pinched the base of his tail slightly, feeling the touch.
There was an arterial pulsation on it, which would soften as she felt like shivering.
"Well."
And usually at this time her face would turn red.
She said it herself that to her it was like a kitten being grabbed by the scruff of the neck and held by the vitals.
Her heart was obviously beating wildly at this moment.
The tail suddenly twitched a few times.
The ears, which were originally soft, gradually hardened at the base. The small drum was also twisting restlessly.
This is obvious.
She wanted to continue now, but was blocked.
Su Ming turned her over and lifted up her tail. The root was in the gap between the drum skin.
Hers was clean too.
"Big brother, Se."
"No, just curious."
"No, you can't watch and shiver at the same time?"
She kept her pouting posture, and her hands came out from her belly again. The water color fell down a little.
hiss.
Time is running out.
We must save the people.
3 month 25 day.
Su Ming and Avril played a friendly match.
Not by weapons.
"Dad is cheating!"
"Again!"
"..."
No matter how many times, Avril was no match for her.
"You're playing dirty. You're training secretly without me."
"I'm going to drop my little pearls!"
How to bring this?
cough.
The special training with Xia Ye should be classified as special training between husband and wife. Children will never understand.
3 month 27 day.
It’s not that I miss An Shiyao that much.
I'm concerned about the medicine.
I always feel that she is still mentally unstable. It has been more than a month since she left Dongshi. Sometimes I would send her a message to ask about her, but I am always a little worried since I have never seen her.
What to do in Canada is also basically stable.
High-intensity training might take some time to sustain without Xia Ye's help. At this moment, Su Ming was not used to not doing a few sets of exercises every day.
"Big brother, are you going back?"
"..."
The most desired ideal life is of course to sleep in the same bed, and anyone can see it anytime and anywhere.
But to be realistic, I haven't handled An Shiyao's situation well myself.
It just means that it is only limited to An Shiyao herself, and the relationship is harmonious.
"Big brother, I still owe Xiaoye 109 times."
"So it hasn't reduced anything, and you still owe it, right?"
"If you breach the contract, there will be penalty interest."
The neck was hugged and the face was very close to mine.
"If you want to go back, you can go back anytime. But you still have to pay the penalty and interest."
“It’s not clear at all.”
"Hehe, big brother wants to pay it back?"
Xia Ye put her legs on Su Ming's belly, "Now, maybe big brother can satisfy both Sister An and Sister Xue'er at the same time? Without relying on weapons."
"..."
Sometimes I really doubt whether I work so hard on exercising just to shiver or to improve my strength.
He picked up the fruit knife on the bedside table.
The glow was much brighter than before. It could already be considered a night light.
If we meet the monster in the fog again now, will we be able to fight it?
Su Ming didn't know.
However, it wouldn't take as much effort to escape as before. If he tried again, maybe he could really get An Shiyao and her sister out without any harm.
3 month 29 day.
Night.
Su Ming calculated the time and it should be morning in Snow Country.
Call An Shiyao.
"I'll be back tomorrow."
"Ah...you won't stay a little longer?"
"Travelers always have to go home."
"You can stay a little longer. Don't come back yet."
"?"
Su Ming was stunned. "Then when should I return home?"
"you……"
"Don't come back!"
"?"
"You must be under surveillance now! They must be watching! It's all over. This can only be the last time I talk to you."
"Yao?"
"Mr. Su Ming, please... don't come back! I'm the only one being watched now. As long as you don't come back, they won't be able to find you!"
"They must have come looking for me. I didn't say anything. Now that they hear me talking, they must know everything... Ugh, it's over."
"who are they?"
"..."
During the call, Xia Ye was already checking on the side.
"Big brother."
"Xiaoye can be sure that they still won't associate the current big brother with the big brother who was with Sister An six years ago."
"They are investigating the survivors of the Misty Island Incident again because of some events. As Xiaoye expected, they are investigating the older brother who appeared next to Sister An."
"However, they can't find out anything about a big brother who has lived a real and consistent 25 years. In addition, Xiaoye has made a lot of preparations. At most, they are curious or think that the big brother who is favored by Sister An is very lucky. They won't pay much attention."
"Based on the surveillance footage and other data Xiaoye is watching now, it proves that they are no longer paying attention to Sister An. Sister An's current condition is moderate paranoia. It was Xiaoye who neglected it."
"..."
Su Ming heard it all clearly.
It's a bit uncomfortable.
This means that An Shiyao has been living in this state since more than ten days ago. The lighthearted and normal attitude during the occasional chat was also fake. The words that hinted that I don't need to care about her staying any longer were not a joke, but she really didn't want me to go back.
"Don't come back, Mr. Su Ming..."
The person on the other end of the phone is still talking.
Don’t go back?
Not to mention that he wasn't being targeted, even if he was being targeted, how could he not go back?
Even if it's a mission, we have to take her away smuggled away.
"Yao."
“No one’s watching you.”
"No one should pay more attention to you and me, or investigate us."
"Don't hang up the phone with me. Stay on the line. I'll tell you what to do before I get on the plane."
"Don't think about anything now, just listen to me and do what I say, understand?"
"..."
Xia Ye didn't say anything and chose to type on his phone.
[The flight ticket has been changed to two hours later]
[Xiaoye, I don't need my big brother to take care of me all the time. I'm already very satisfied.]
[Sister An's mental state has never been very good. Compared with Sister Xue'er and Xiaoye, Sister An is the one who needs the most care. ]
While talking to An Shiyao on the phone, he forced her to go buy some water, or sit somewhere and order something.
While watching Xia Ye helping to pack up, Avril, who witnessed this scene, was not quite sure about the situation, but her intuition told her that she should not ask, so she followed Xia Ye to help pack up.
[Avril, go get the shirt from the balcony. Dad will be returning home soon.]
[Ah? Isn't it tomorrow? ]
【today】
Both mother and daughter communicated by typing on their mobile phones.
【What happened to the second mother? 】
【I got sick.】
【Very serious?】
【…】
Su Ming's conscience began to hurt again. What was this?
He never took Xia Ye's efforts for granted. But every time he tried to make up for it, no matter how much he made up, he still felt it was not enough.
109 times?
What kind of wish is that?
One day... no, this year, we must realize our ideal life of sleeping together in the same bed.
Don't worry about who gets sick. Don't be bound by the old mediocre ideas. Do what needs to be done right away.
Snow Country must get An Shiyao's life back on track as soon as possible.
With this thought in mind, Su Ming also typed.
Avril Lavigne
[The professor said that there will be an exchange student activity with Kyoto University. If you are mentally prepared, go. I will formally introduce your second mother to you.]
[So I should fill out the application form? I haven’t been to the snowy country yet. ]
【ok】
Su Ming looked at Xia Ye again and continued typing while talking to An Shiyao.
[Xiaoye, 109 times does not count as a wish. Next time, make a wish that I find more difficult.]
[Dad, how can you say this in front of your daughter? You're going to go blind.]
[Shame on you, big brother. My daughter knows about this.]
[What on earth are we playing? I still don’t understand! ]
【Xiaoye, I love you. 】
[I told you not to be affectionate in front of my daughter! I am 18 years old now, not 8! ]
[Big Brother, is 1009 times a more difficult wish? ]
[…Mom, you too. Don’t just say something like this that involves a life in front of your daughter.]
Tell the truth.
Su Ming never dreamed that he would say goodbye like this before returning from Canada.
"What should I do now?"
An Shiyao's tone on the phone was much steadier than before.
"Home, huh?"
"Do squats. 50."
but.
Sooner or later, there will be a home for everyone. No risks, no need to work hard, a home for retirement. It won't take too long.
