night.
The last night.
Anne's last night before her marriage.
The entire War Academy has been carefully dressed up.
Because it is well known that no one of the three parliamentary giants has children or relatives.
Therefore, as a newly emerging star of the War Academy, the Parliament is focusing on cultivating a new generation of people.
Jerico's status is almost equivalent to the height of the three supreme parliamentary giants, and even the sons and nephews of the Speaker.
His wedding was naturally raised to an extremely important level.
In addition, the Parliament intends to hold this wedding incredibly grand to demonstrate the unshakable supreme authority of the Parliament on the mainland.
Everything was arranged to the extreme and complexity.
& ) Although there is only a short three-day preparation period.
It sounds extremely hasty.
However, the eighteen pure white unicorns produced in the East Island of Ionia, the retro giant royal carriage, the wedding dress covered with 10,000 hand-sewn pearls, and more special wedding supplies, were all dispatched in just three days.
This fully demonstrates the incomparable energy of the parliament and its unrivaled overlord status.
Everything is just waiting for tomorrow's drama to take place.
The night is dark.
pier.
The shore that has not been used for a few years and still has traces of green new construction is crowded with several huge four-masted commercial sailboats.
All the rare overseas products that need to be used at the wedding are the ones they have reached the shore in these days.
On the shore where there was only one dock lamp, the dim water surface and light and shadow, the merchant ships that had been unloaded seemed not so frivolous in the dark.
On the contrary, they still seemed to be loaded with goods and had a deep draft.
At this time, the guards patrolling the docks swayed to the shore listlessly, and while walking, they were chatting without saying a word.
"I said, brothers, we are really unlucky. The little bastard named Jerico is going to get married tomorrow. It's still a shame to marry my cute little Anne. We have to patrol here at night." One of the guards looked at the quiet and dim water surface and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He also had reason to curse. Compared with other guards in the War Academy, they were the most unlucky. Most of the guards in the city were replaced by secret guards of the council. One was to create an atmosphere of joy, and the other was to secretly guard against possible enemies.
Compared with some sensitive areas in the city, the pier outside the city is a abandoned place, so they can only patrol.
"Isn't it? The other brothers in the city are on holidays, and we are going to come out if they give away rewards. But, hey, you kid, are you also admirers of Miss Anne?" Another guard said boredly.
"Hahahahaha. You kid actually want to eat swan meat, oh..." The third guard also felt that nothing would happen to the pier, and laughed unscrupulously.
The laughter seemed particularly loud and bizarre in the empty and lonely night.
"Pu" Just as they were talking and laughing loudly without hesitation, a sudden sound broke their randomness.
"What sound?" someone asked in confusion.
"You heard it too? It seemed... something fell into the water?" Another person was also a little confused.
"Suspicious. Don't scare yourself, it's okay." Some people don't want to cause trouble and just want to go home to bed early, so they don't plan to pay attention.
"Wait, look. Over there, in the water." But at this time, someone discovered an abnormality, among the floating crowded merchant ships.
"It's a little wrong. There should be no one on the boat." The person who said this was well-founded, because he saw that all the people on the boat went to the city for fun during the day.
"Do you want it..."
"Precautions, it's okay."
Just as they were in a dilemma, a low, silly laugh suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
“Hahaha…”
The next moment, a black shadow that was extremely sharp flashed by.
In an instant, all the guards were cut off their throats.
"Puuu-" The corpse fell to the ground.
And a lonely back stood where they were originally standing.
"Although it was wrong for me to make a sound accidentally, you shouldn't have killed them all, they didn't have the courage to check it out..." At this time, a childish voice came late, as if it had just climbed up from the water, with a wet watery feeling.
"What do you know?" Regarding its long speech, the lonely back only said four words, and then he looked at the city in the dark night.
The wet voice stopped talking and looked at the War Academy together.
And in the water, the crowded pier, and invisible shadows, there was a blue shadow flashing by.
Like... some kind of big fish?

"If you want to leave, I can take you away now."
On the last night.
The person who always protected Anne in the dark finally came to her.
In fact, Anne vaguely knew the existence of this person, from some details.
But those details are no longer important. She just looked at him, this man who is also blind.
"Did he ask you to protect me?" Annie looked at him and felt that Chen Senran was really a cruel man. She had already come to her side, but she refused to meet her.
"Yes." Li Qing only answered one word, but in fact, what he answered is no longer important.
The answers to many things have been revealed, and the most he can do is to take the girl away.
"I won't leave." As expected, Annie looked at Li Qing, the man with an arrogant and domineering tattoo of years on her body, shook her head firmly.
"I understand." Li Qing was not disappointed, nor showed any emotion. He came to ask this question, but he didn't want to let Chen Senran down. As for what else...
He slowly retreated into the darkness.
"You said, will he come?" At the last moment, Anne suddenly looked at the darkness and asked.
Darkness and loneliness.
It took a long time to say a word.
"He still has many shackles in his heart, and you are the heaviest one."
Is the heaviest one?
This night is destined to be long and difficult to bear.
This night is destined to be undercurrents.
That night, all the fighting club bosses who were originally fighting for power received an order.
This night is the eve of history. (To be continued...)
