That night, in the spacious lobby of the palace that was still under construction, the king of Blue Star held a grand celebration ceremony. Not only for Blue Star's victory over the Gamma Stars, but also for Malone's continued assistance and the elimination of the Gamma Stars.
To express gratitude for the remnants of the sin.
Ma Long's position was arranged on the left hand side of the king, and sitting on the right hand side of the king was Princess Wei An. The importance of this position is self-evident. It is not understatement to say that one person is less than ten thousand people.
However, you must know that the seats made by Ma Long at this time were originally reserved for the eldest prince.
This seating arrangement seems to have a meaning, and many Blue Star senior officials present can understand it. This is not just a celebration banquet, maybe the king wants to use this banquet to send a signal to everyone in advance.
, let everyone be prepared.
This arrangement is an affirmation of Malone.
The banquet has just begun. After everyone took their seats, they first whispered to each other. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"It seems that our Blue Star is about to welcome the first alien in history to be our next king." Someone sighed softly, as if they still couldn't accept the xenophobia of aliens.
"How can you see it?" Some people who are not keen on politics asked curiously.
"Look at where Ma Long is sitting now. Normally, the eldest prince sits alone, and even the second prince is not included." The man explained, "In addition, the three princes who can inherit the throne are no longer there.
, this throne..."
"That can't fall into the hands of an alien!" someone said anxiously, "There is no precedent in our country. When the king has no legal heir, the throne must be passed to the capable ministers below. This situation has not happened before.
Passed."
The man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "One moment and another. Who said that the king has no legal heir? Although the three princes died in the battle, Princess Wei'an is still alive? Originally, the king wanted to arrange for Princess Wei'an to succeed. But
Looking at it now, the relationship between Ma Long and our princess is very different. After the princess succeeds to the throne, no matter what, Ma Long will naturally become our king."
Everyone around suddenly realized that the matter seemed to be finalized. Even if the king did not pass the throne to Ma Long, but passed it to his daughter, it would be in vain. In the end, Ma Long and the princess got married and naturally became the new king.
"But..." Someone else put forward a different opinion, "Ma Long is from the earth, does he really not plan to go back?"
"Hmph!" the man sneered, "If I were given a chance to become the king of the earth, would you return to Blue Star?"
"Uh...well...of course I'm going to come back!" Although he said this, the people around him could hear the insincerity in his words, and he didn't have much confidence in what he said.
The man added: "Don't underestimate things like 'rights'! Although our Blue Star has experienced many years of war and is somewhat unsatisfactory, after all, the foundation is still there. Whether it is scientific and technological civilization or area resources, Blue Star has
Better than the earth. In a sense, obtaining the supreme rights here is more attractive than the earth!"
As he said that, the man glanced at Ma Long thoughtfully, and said quietly: "I really can't see through this young man... He has all the skills, and it seems that he has been coveting our Blue Star from the beginning.
The throne, right? Otherwise, why would he stay here all the time, and not hesitate to turn against his compatriots, but also stand on our side? This is not only because of the princess, but more importantly, I think it is the temptation of power.
!”
After hearing this, the people around him nodded unanimously, recalling the various contributions Ma Long had made to Blue Star. At first, he seemed to have a clear understanding of the righteousness, but now looking back, he seems to have a strong utilitarianism.
In fact, the man still had some thoughts in his heart, but he dared not say them out. That is: if Ma Long really coveted the throne of Blue Star from the beginning, then there are three mountains standing in front of him. That is the king.
But whether it was a coincidence or God's will, the war was over and the king's three sons were all killed in the battlefield, and none of them could come back alive. Moreover, when every prince died, Ma Long was present. Here,
Is there any hidden secret?
Of course, all this was the speculation of the Blue Star man. After all, he had to think more about major issues related to the future successor of Blue Star. If there was anything wrong, he was willing to die to advise the king.
In the lobby, everyone was talking in low voices. Although the voices were lowered as much as possible, they still could not escape Ma Long's ears. Even Ma Long was shocked when he heard that everyone was talking about his succession to the throne.
Although he had been prepared and guessed that the king had this idea, when the day actually came, Ma Long was still in a daze.
Do you really want to stay on the Blue Star forever? Malone lowered his head in pain. After all, he is a native of Earth. Is it really worth leaving his hometown to come to the Blue Star and stay here forever?
But as the Blue Star man said, the temptation of power is huge. Ma Long couldn't help but want to seize this opportunity and have a big fight on Blue Star. As for Shen Bingbing and other family members on Earth,
Just bring them all together to live on Blue Star.
"Everyone!" The king's voice suddenly came, bringing Ma Long back to reality from his swaying thoughts. The king stood up, raised his glass and said to everyone, "The war that has lasted for nearly five years begins today.
It finally ends with the victory of our Blue Star people!"
"Long live the king!" All Blue Star people present stood up and raised their glasses to the king.
King Blue Star looked at the people in front of him with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Ma Long. After staying on him for a moment, the king said loudly: "In this long war, we lost
There are too many, but we also gain something! We have become close neighbors with the distant alien galaxy Earth, and we also want to thank the people on Earth who are fighting here for the peace of Blue Star. Whether they have left or are
We all want to sincerely thank them. Especially Malone, his contribution to our Blue Star should be familiar to everyone present!"
"Now, let us raise a glass together and drink this drink for our new hero-Ma Long!"
The king invited everyone present to toast Malone. This honor has never been achieved in history.
Ma Long also felt a little flattered. He quickly raised the wine glass in his hand and nodded frequently to the people around him.
The king took the lead and drank it all in one gulp, and Ma Long also quickly drank the wine in the glass. Although the taste was not the same as the wine on earth, it was not much different.
The king put down his wine glass with a smile, and then said loudly: "I would like to take this opportunity to announce an important decision to you -"
Announcing a major decision?! Everyone could not help but hold their breath, waiting for the king to continue. Everyone felt that what the king was about to announce seemed to be related to the succession issue they had just discussed. Some people glanced at the somewhat absent-minded Ma Long, intentionally or unintentionally.
.
At this moment, the king's face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes became distracted. There was silence around him, and the atmosphere became a bit depressing.
The first one to notice the abnormality was Princess Wei An. She was closest to the king. Seeing that something was wrong with her father, she quickly stood up and helped her.
"Father!" Princess Wei An screamed, because she clearly saw black blood flowing out of the corner of her father's mouth.
Oops! Ma Long also stood up suddenly. He was a little distracted just now, and he didn't notice anything unusual about the king. He came to the king's side with a quick stride, and after breathing slightly, he understood what was wrong with the king.
