Chapter 24 The Heart
"I still remember that the piano sounds really nice... and it seems that the person who plays the piano is not bad. It seems that one of the young officers is named Dior..."
"Is that true? Remember it very clearly." Lin Hai smiled.
"What's clearer is that I walked out... what I said to him." Nolan smiled.
Lin Hai has heard stories about Nolan before, such as when she entered the Military Academy with an alias name and graduated with extremely excellent grades, but there was no detail that she stirred up the academy. Now he has a strong desire to explore, and even at the bottom of his heart, there is a little bit of sourness, "What did you say? It's not the old-fashioned academy pursuit and love plot."
Nolan refused to comment, "At that time, there were many people, because of this episode, that logistics control class was interrupted. I walked out of the classroom and asked him what his realistic ideal was as a soldier. He said that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier, and he would become a famous general. Then I told him that a soldier could be incompetent, and even if he died in battle, he would only lose his life. But if a general was incompetent, it would affect the safety of thousands of people. Can a person who was thinking about how to pursue a girl when he should learn skills? If a general did not know how to discipline himself and was influenced by a **** when he was time to learn, he could only be a **** slave and could not become his own master."
Lin Hai was speechless when he heard this, and secretly observed a silence for the officer named Dior, who is now unknown.
Just imagine a handsome and sunny military academy student playing the piano and singing to the girl in the classroom between the lawns. This should be the most beautiful and sensational love story in those academies.
As the young man sang, the angel-like girl walked out of the classroom and came to her face. She said not the shy "I do it", but the words, the shadow area was really not small.
Having said that, it seems that the kings of these two generations of Eagle Kingdom had the tradition of covering up their identities and entering the academy or serving in the army before ascending the throne. The queen met the veteran Jiang Zhi, and a rather charming but not perfect story happened. The officers who whistled at Nolan at the Military Academy or sat under the lawn and played the piano in the lawn seemed to have not impressed the woman.
Looking back further, most of the relationships that the king of the Eagle Kingdom developed in the Royal Military Academy have been bumpy and not perfect. From this we can draw a conclusion that the Royal Military Academy is really a forbidden zone for the Royal Family of the Eagle Kingdom.
Fortunately, I was targeting Qingyuan College back then!

At this time, the captain named Dior, a frigate of the 23rd Detachment of the 18th Fleet of the Eagle Kingdom, was sneezing several times in a row, wondering if the air conditioner on the ship was turned on too high and why it suddenly became much colder.
The voice of the captain of the No. 414 next door came from his ears, "Boy Dior, continue talking... You were so fierce back then, and you dared to pursue the princess directly! You are simply a legend of our 18th Fleet. When others talk about it, I didn't believe it at first. You were not bragging, are you?"
A group of captains from nearby warships were stirring up during the communication, and there were endless calls for verification and inquiries.
"What a boast!" The captain of the ship No. 233 spoke in the channel, "Dio and I are alumni, and we are senior brothers of the first class. We were on the second floor of the Second Class at that time. I witnessed this scene with my own eyes. I can testify that this kid was really very fierce back then. When the princess officially revealed his identity, this incident became the most sensational deed in the year of our Royal Military Academy! Dior, you kid... on the battlefield, but you must have the magnificence that even the princess dared to pursue back then!"
"Old senior, don't worry!" Dior smiled, "When the war begins, the Susa people will understand!"
"Susa's giant ships and cannons are all very powerful. Dior, your hammerhead shark frigate can't stand it a few times, aren't you afraid of death?" the senior asked with a smile.
"Big and not flexible! The firepower is strong, but it may not be able to keep up with our pace! Old seniors, no one is afraid of death, but the Susa people must have the ability to take it away!"
The senior laughed, "Your Highness, I will be proud of you!"
Dior nodded and looked out the bridge window, his eyes suddenly became much gentler, "I don't know if she remembers that back then... If I had the honor to meet her again, I would like to tell Your Highness that it was because of her words that I truly became a qualified Eagle Nation soldier. The Susa people are really impatient to fight with them. I want them to know that His Royal Highness's Eagle Nation Royal Fleet will give them a fierce head-on blow to the footsteps of their rampant advance!"

The capital star of the Eagle Kingdom.
In the Queen's Conference Room at Buckingham Palace, two chairs facing opposite sides, one is sitting with the Queen and the other is sitting with Prime Minister Muff.
Muff took a thin book handed over by the queen with his hands trembling slightly. He turned on the retro sheepskin cover and looked at the pages inside. His hands occasionally wiped his white hair, but the excessively frequent movements showed his heart that was overturning at this moment.
After reading the entire parchment, Muff raised his head, unable to hide the excitement and a hint of redness in his eyes, "Her Majesty the Queen... You are, what are you... doing... Do you know what it means once this bill is enacted?"
The queen put on her red robe and whispered, "Believe me, Muf, I know more than anyone else about what I want to do."
Muff moved forward, "In recent years, I have admitted that the people's desire for reform has become stronger and stronger. Over the past century, the demands for thousands of years have become more intense than before... However, this does not mean that you have to give up controlling this country. Without your power, how can you ensure the prosperity and strength of the Eagle Kingdom? Without such power, how can you maintain the supreme and practical status of the royal power?"
The queen whispered, "Even if I am a generation of Mingzhe, what about the next king and the next king? Are they all wise kings? Can you guarantee that you will not make any mistakes?"
"It cannot be said that the cost of making mistakes is the maintenance cost that society must pay. In other words, making mistakes is inevitable, but the experience brought by mistakes is the best beacon for finding the truth. I cannot imagine what would happen if the people knew that they could not rely on the pillar of the king. This is a symbol of honor. Who do you want people to be loyal to in the future?"
"Just be loyal to yourself, everyone is their own king." The queen said.
Muff's eyes were so red and he said, "Think twice, Your Majesty! I don't know how I should bear such a heavy burden."
The queen stretched out her hand and patted Muff on the shoulder, "Okay, I just strengthened the rights of the parliament, and it was not about abolishing the monarchy of the Eagle Kingdom... In the future, people rely on their chosen leaders to lead their future. The royal family no longer needs to point fingers."
"I don't understand!" Muff said, "Even if the people have such a will, it can still proceed slowly. Moreover, in wartime, there is no better time to gather people's hearts and consolidate the royal power than such a moment. Now everyone is fighting for the Eagle Kingdom, fighting for you, the Queen. They love their country and their kings. Why don't you comply with the people's sentiments, but push them away?"
"Because I found a crack..." the queen whispered, "The future crack of this country... War broke out and foreign enemies invaded, and people's loyalty to the country is unquestionable in this era. So when there is no war, the power of the king needs to be guaranteed by the great nobles and their own arms. This will inevitably lead to an unshakable group, just like now... These are the root causes of the turmoil and disintegration of the country..."
"The bill I am going to promulgate can solve this problem once and for all, that is, to bring the power of parliament before the king. The king has to abolish the decrees proposed by both houses of parliament and set an example to dismantle all armed and governed institutions directly under the king. The nobles of the House of Lords, their armed forces and fleets, must be dissolved together, and recruited privately is illegal. The nobles only retain reputation and status, and greatly reduce the power of life and death in their hands, and reduce their transcendent power that can transcend social laws."
"So, the king still exists. It is just that through this move, the foundations of those great nobles can be eliminated. This is the real way to resolve hidden dangers to the greatest extent."
"So in the future, the Royal Space Force, the Royal Army... will these not exist?"
"Can you keep the name? In name, it is still the royal army, but in fact, it belongs to the Congress and the entire Eagle National people."
Muff held the bill drafted by the Queen in his hand, knowing its weight.
"Don't worry about me, Muff, nor about the Eagle King's royal family." The queen said, "Maybe the future royal members will thank me for doing this, because they will no longer have to review and examine their partner because they involve the future of the country, nor do they have to care whether the other party is aristocrat or a civilian. As long as they do not do anything, they can fall in love freely and have the greatest freedom. Instead of becoming monsters locked in this palace, there will never be any so-called "rose kingship" or national problems that may be caused by the weakening of the king."
"As for what you are worried about, does the royal family still exist in the end, and does it still have any influence?" said the queen. "Instead of relying on iron laws and strict rules to bind people to awe of the royal family, but privately curse such a state machine, it is better to untie the constraints and return the rule to the people. True respect and admiration are in people's hearts, not in terms and laws."
"You know, the one who controls people's hearts is more powerful than the one who controls the city."
Muf was very clear about what impact the Queen would have once the bill was enacted. This would be a bombshell and would completely change the political structure of the Eagle Kingdom. Of course, it could also eliminate the internal hidden dangers at this time. Great nobles like Assas and Lily will never be able to make any storms.
"So, what name should be given to this bill?"
