"I have seen the life of young people in Gaia. Democracy is just a fig leaf. There are only 'rulers' and 'ruled' in this world, and Plato is the same." He sighed deeply helplessly.
"Of course, you are the future king of Gaia. I guarantee that you will have real power. This is a reward for the warriors who have fought hard."
"Real power? Or a puppet controlled by you, a clown wearing a virtual crown..."
While the two were still bickering, a rush door next to the hangar opened after a flash of light.
"...I'm not like Xuanji. She was confused by the luxurious life and willingly waded into this muddy water..."
Xuanji stopped with her maid Annu. This was the first time she heard Kalki talking about her behind her back, which made her worried.
The two of them looked back at Xuanji, who suddenly stood behind them. The light shining like flowing mercury poured onto her slender and toned body. A pair of colorful tassel decorations hung on both sides of her cheeks, like a living goddess.
Appearing in front of mortals, she began to have a domineering aura, which made the two people who were accustomed to being in power involuntarily restrain their attitudes.
Seeing the subtle change in expression on Xuanji's face, Kalki realized that she had heard these words and saw a trace of resentment in her eyes.
Kalki, why do you look down on me like this? If I really loved vanity, I wouldn't have escaped alone and wandered the stars, going through hardships just to meet you...
She suppressed the rebuttal she blurted out to him and pretended not to hear what he said.
He Meili and Annu exchanged glances: Now there is something good to watch.
"Where are you going?" she broke the ice.
"I... want to test drive this new fighter plane." Kalki turned around and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Aren't you coming back?"
"Oh, no..."
He Meili realized that Xuanji had gained control over the relationship between the two, and even though she was as unruly as Kalki, she surrendered to the glory of the goddess.
"I want to fly to the limit of energy consumption, see how far I can fly, and do a test flight..."
Kalki stretched out his hand to touch the special steel plate of the deformed fighter. His slender fingers could leave a faint dissipating halo mark on the special coating, which dissipated dreamily like five-color light. In his lowered blue eyes, the gray pupils trembled.
Zooming in.
"Will you return?" Her voice was gentle, but she could not hide her questioning tone.
Kalki clenched his fists and remained silent.
"The maximum flight distance of a transforming fighter is 500 light years. The new fighter will be even farther. I like extreme distances. The universe is full of dangers and dangers..." he said.
"This is your best chance to escape control. You won't come back." She said calmly.
He remained silent.
"I thought we could start a new life together, but you were unwilling. All vows were made based on the situation, just like back then." Xuanji tried hard to hold back her sadness and the urge to cry. She was not
The most important thing about Kalki is that it still hurts to admit this.
"You were born noble and couldn't bear the life of the people at the bottom of Gaia. Now that you have obtained the high position of your dreams, everything can go smoothly." He turned around, "Everyone has his own suitable life.
Big cities scare me. I grew up in the countryside and lived according to rigid and weird dogmas. Living in Gaia will make me feel at a loss..."
"Do you have to live in a world where getting up, eating, changing clothes... and even sex are all arranged? Are you so afraid of freedom?"
"Do you think that when I kneel in front of you and swear solemnly, this is freedom?" He couldn't help but touch the epaulette of the Gaia Security Force on his shoulder, and resisted the urge to pull it off.
Xuanji moved her lips unconsciously, gritted her teeth, and the argument fell into an awkward deadlock.
"I love the grand leader. I think I got the best compensation. I love him more than anything else in the world, even my own life. In the end, it's just my wishful thinking..." She lowered her head, with pieces of star stone on her black hair.
Like trembling, shining with heartbreaking brilliance.
"Xuanji, I am no longer young. I am no longer the person you first met. Forget about the Grand Commander, I am just a soldier who endures the capricious fate. I don't know where I will die..." Kalki looked up helplessly.
At the beginning, it was filled with the sadness of a hero's loneliness, "In the first half of my life, I was just a killing machine. I don't want to live like this in the second half of my life. I am also a human being, with a heart beating alive in my chest. People always yearn for freedom.
I hate being enslaved."
"You have always been the most perfect knight, and you will never change. In my heart..." She couldn't help but pounced on him, looking so tender and sad, "I'm afraid of being separated from you. This world is too cruel, and I am alone.
Facing it alone, full of fear..."
"No, we will not be separated. Only those who love each other with their eyes and bodies will be separated. For those who love each other with their hearts and whole souls, there is no separation in this world." He said sadly, stroking her hair.
, her hair is as smooth and fragrant as her dazzling youth, "Xuanji, you are no longer the girl looking for her father when I first met you. You are already strong enough. The fear is your imagination. In fact,
You have nothing to fear."
She let go of him and looked at his face. Kalki had aged a little, and there were shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but every line on his face was still so perfect. The years had taken away his sunshine-like youthfulness.
, his angelic eyes were coated with earthly sorrow, but his soul became deeper and more powerful.
"Yes, I won't be afraid. I can handle anything by myself..." She resisted the urge to cry in front of everyone, "It is despicable to bind another person for yourself. Love should not be a prison cell and chains.
.”
"I will also fight for my own freedom. I will never be a pawn and be manipulated by others." He said firmly in a deep voice, "'Go and fight, son of Sirius'... I will fight to the end."
"Go, husband." She straightened her body proudly, no longer needing his embrace, "I grew up in your abandonment and betrayal many times, which taught me the truth that only oneself can stand firm.
Do not move."
He Meili opened her eyes wide in surprise. Xuanji had a sense of true queen-like dignity, which was natural and not the result of their indoctrination and education. She thought she would entangle Kalki with the weakness and cuteness of a little woman, but she actually
Be strong and don't make any lowly and pleading gestures.
Kalki was also filled with emotions. The innocent girl with two braids in Weishan Bookstore appeared in front of her eyes. She was hysterical for losing her beloved, crying and making trouble, irrationally, and wanted to betray the heartless man. But now, she
She has become such a strong and noble woman, like a star, shining brightly.
"No matter how far we start from the end, we will always meet the starting point. Xuanji, we are one person, eternity..."
He stepped onto the rising floating disk without looking back, as determined and free as ever.
