He looked up at the symbol of Plato's army on the pure white marble wall behind the court, a huge black eagle flying high on a left-hand swastika.
The old knights that Ahir relied on have all disappeared, and now even the political correctness of attending the human races equally has been destroyed. Not a single "white tiger" human race attended the court. After he returned from the expedition, everything changed.
"I admit it." Kalki maintained the simple and direct style of a soldier.
Roman suddenly felt relaxed, as if he was originally worried about being refuted in various ways, or even triggering a more serious confrontation.
The court officials exchanged messages in a special way, and then Roman showed his official authority and said:
"After the court hearing, Captain Kalki will be punished with a demotion, from captain to deacon, to replace Deacon Shattayu who suffers from Sleeping Beauty Syndrome."
At this time, Kalki, who had smooth golden buns, almost glared.
"Shame! Are you just going to humiliate a general who has the best record in Plato's history like this?" He suddenly broke out. At the plenary meeting of the Senate that year, he silently endured the humiliation of the grand captain being demoted to the captain. Now,
He couldn't bear it anymore.
"From ancient times to the present, no White Tiger knight has ever suffered such a humiliation! Never has a grand captain been demoted to a deacon!"
Kalki protested loudly that he was no longer the resigned young man.
"The decision of the Ethics Tribunal of the Military Disciplinary Commission is the final decision, and we do not accept any appeals." Roman spoke clearly, but appeared to be cautious.
"I must remind you." An older judge sitting on one side of the arc-shaped court said, "This is only a relatively minor punishment. Now, you are still Plato's military aristocrat, and your living conditions can remain the same.
.But if you are punished to the punishment regiment, you will be reduced to a lower status than the working class, and no one can come back from that filthy and smelly mire, never."
Kalki stood in the center like a statue. He had been promoted to deacon when he was 23 years old. After nearly ten years of fighting, he returned to his original position, so humiliated and unbearable.
"Dismiss the court!" Roman stood up and announced.
Before the two robot bailiffs could come and take away the regimental commander's logo on his military uniform, Kalki took off the diamond-encrusted oak leaf collar badge and threw it hard on the cold marble floor.
"I went to war when I was 18 years old! I narrowly escaped death. Is this how you repay me?!"
He roared in a low voice, and his voice echoed in the courtroom of the Military Commission, which was like a pale heaven, but the civil servants silently stood up and left quickly, leaving him alone in the empty scene.
A trap covered with flowers... He finally understood Narashimo's warning. Xuanji was sent to him, the star he wanted to pick most, the one he longed for most -
He was like an eagle that had been hungry for a long time, greedily tasting the most delicious flesh and blood, but he did not expect to pay such a heavy price.
Deacon Kalki quickly walked out of the moral court of the Military Council. He no longer needed to be wary of Ira, because he was no longer qualified to be the Grand Commander's enemy in the future, and even dining in the restaurant would be far away.
He felt that the group of classical buildings from the interstellar era sparkling in the sun before him was so terrifying and cast such a huge shadow. As he hurried past on the steps, the whole world trembled to the point of being unreal.
Who sent Xuanji to him? The stubborn Narashimo committed suicide without resistance...
One day, he will know the truth.
The sun was too bright and he couldn't see the world clearly.
The sun was too bright and filtered into the bedroom through the exquisite gauze curtains...
The bright sunshine in the morning woke Xuanji from her sleep. She felt lazy all over her body, with the extreme relaxation and comfort after a night of lingering. She was so happy after every night she spent with Kalki.
A strong floral fragrance overflowed into her nostrils, causing her to open her eyes and sit up from the soft bed. The bedroom of the "Amber Palace" facing the sea was dotted with all kinds of flowers.
She remembered that Kalki had ordered that the maid in the bedroom should bring flowers very early every day, and that everything should be arranged quietly so that she could wake up surrounded by flowers and start every day in such a romantic atmosphere.
Wearing a transparent flowing nightgown, stretching her body in a relaxed manner, and dotted with various pink or pink-purple roses, "Urustiva" is the most beautiful dream imaginable by humans.
She walked barefoot on the gemstone floor that shone like gold powder, walked through the steps and arches, and headed outside. The blue sea water caressed the steps. Under the magnificent sunshine in the morning, the sound of the ocean waves drifted away.
Kalki was wearing a simple white shirt and holding a cute baby in his arms. Like all young fathers, he held the child in his hands and played with it. The backlight was too strong and she couldn't see clearly the appearance of the baby. She could only see the light from Kalki's color.
It shone through the ends of her hair, so bright that she covered her eyes with her hands.
"Here, look! Mommy is here!" Kalki pointed out to the little baby. He looked so cute as a father, and he looked even more boyish when he grinned.
"Is this our child?" She was at a loss for a moment.
"Yes." He looked at her with a smile.
For a moment, she felt an unbelievable sense of detachment.
"This is not true..." She murmured to herself, "This is just a dream."
"Yes, everything is just your dream. Once you wake up from the dream, we will disappear. The days will be long and you will forget about us."
After hearing these words, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
He held the child in his arms with one hand and wiped the tears from her cheek with the other, just like the graceful and gentle way he always treated her.
"You know, this shore is so cold and heartless, so we put our hope in the other shore. Your heart brings you here, our paradise."
After hearing this, she burst into tears and was so hurt that she could not speak.
"Xuanji, you must learn to face the world you don't want to face, and don't run away." He continued, "Urustiva is a different time and space that does not belong to this world. The Amber Palace has been reduced to scorched earth, and our children have become
Victims of war..."
"No! I would rather die than do this... The loss after a short possession is more heartbreaking than never having it." She shook her head movingly. Only in front of him, she could not abandon the little girl's love.
Nature, "I am weak and incompetent...I am afraid of this world, I just want to live happily with you..."
"Learn to grow up. When a person truly grows, you are much stronger than you think." After he finished speaking, he slowly walked away with the child in his arms.
"No..." She wanted to reach out and hug the cute baby, but there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of her, making her unable to move even though her footsteps seemed to be chasing hard.
