3. The Severe Consequences of PDA
Xie He felt really good last night. He thought, Lance, this little vixen, was truly gentle and considerate in bed, ne. The most important part was that he was both thick and long! He had clearly been feeling so good and yet he had to pretend to suffer. It was really a test of his acting abilities, ah....
He slowly opened his eyes, pretending like he had just woken up. He discovered that he was being held in Lance's arms. Shame and resentment immediately appeared up on his face. He struck backwards with his elbow and was just about to jump out of bed! Lance was very vigilant, however, and managed to push Xie He down. Lips to Xie He's ears, he let out a pleasant sounding chuckle, "What's wrong? Didn't I make you feel good yesterday? It's not very good to turn hostile so suddenly...."
"You fiend!" Xie He stressed each word. It was like flames were about to shoot out of his eyes!
Lance raised an eyebrow."And you felt really good being f*cked by said fiend, ba?"
Xie He gnashed his teeth."I'll definitely kill you!"
"I'll give you a chance." Lance chuckled and then lightly pulled at Xie He's ears with his teeth. He felt the person in his arms tremble and then lowered his head to lick at the other's neck. He only let go after making Xie He unbearably indignant.
Lance stood up. He gave the man on the bed a glance. The man's whole body was covered in his marks. When he thought about this body and its unique taste, his eyes darkened.... This was a rarity that was completely different from those other tacky, uncultured people.
He'd certainly feel a great sense of accomplishment after subduing this kind of prey.
【Ding, the target Lance's Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 40. 】
Lance ordered someone to bring in a black uniform over his communications device. He told Xie He, "Get dressed."
Xie He took a glance and sneered."I won't wear it!"
It was the uniform of the Empire's officers! As a soldier of the Federation, it was shameful for him to obey his enemy's orders of putting on their uniform!
Lance said insipidly, "It's fine if you don't want to wear it. That is, if you're willing to go out like this." His gaze fell on Xie He, the expression in his eyes profound and tone ridiculing, "Letting everyone appreciate the beautiful body of the Federation's Star isn't bad either. If the Federation promoted you like this at the start, you would probably have been able to sway a few more people to help the Federation.... After all, you're much more attractive when naked."
"You—" Xie He was so angry he couldn't speak. He had just found out just how vulgar the Empire's magnificent Crown Prince could be when no one else was around!
The corner of Lance's lips rose."Right, we're going to attack the Nara Planetary System during their United Nations conference. If you want to come, come. If not, that's fine. You can wait here obediently for me to come back and dote on you."
Xie He gritted his teeth. He struggled for a few seconds. Finally, he reached out and took hold of the clothing.
If he was shut inside here, he wouldn't be able to do anything. He could only leave with Lance... and find an opportunity to escape! Lance was obviously aware of what he was thinking. He knew that he would come... repulsive!
Xie He held the uniform like it was a hot potato. He pulled it on with a cold face. After he buttoned up the last button at his neck, he glared at Lance icily.
Lance gave Xie He a deep gaze. He felt that what he had said just now wasn't completely accurate. This person... regardless of if he was clothed or not, he was just as good-looking.
The trim black uniform tightly wrapped around his lean but powerful body. The silver belt accentuated his thin and strong waist. The tall, shiny black boots wrapped around his gracefully contoured calves.... The deep, sea-blue eyes on that handsome face looked like they were filled with starlight. Even if he just stood there, he was so dazzling, you couldn't look away. It made people want to tear apart the things covering his body and take him for their own!
"Let's go." Lance turned around, a light flashing through his eyes before disappearing.... There would be a day where he would own him completely.
Xie He followed Lance without any hesitation. He wasn't the kind of person who would be affected by shyness or embarrassment. Since he had made his decision, he would calmly face it. Only, after donning the uniform, he discovered that this uniform wasn't the same as what the Empire's soldiers wore. It was even more refined, the material was of a higher quality, and the mandarin collar just so happened to cover up his metal collar. On the collar, there was the symbol of a falcon. The belt was in the same fashion as the one Lance wore. If he wasn't wrong, then this was probably the uniform that only the personal bodyguards of His Highness the Crown Prince would wear.
【Xie He：Lance, this little vixen, is really so bad. He doesn't even forget to exploit me after rolling in the bed together. A real f*ck-'em-and-leave-'em type. Smile. JPG】
【444：...... 】You're similar in that respect, ne... Aren't you also the kind to leave them after feeling good? _(:зゝ∠)_
【444：Oh... how is he using you?】
【Xie He：Think about it. If the people of the Federation saw me in the Empire's uniform while being intimate with the Empire's Crown Prince, what would they think?】
【444：They'd think that you betrayed them? Σ(° △°###)︴】
&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;That's it. &#k1U642; &#k3011;
&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;
General Arnold was waiting for Lance in the control room. He couldn't help but glance at Xie He who stood behind Lance, his mood complicated&#k2026;. It was said that Xie He stayed in His Highness' room all night. As soon as he woke up, he was clothed in the uniform of His Highness' personal guards&#k2026;. What happened last night was obvious. When he thought that this kind of person was being forced into such straits, he wanted to sigh. His Highness was not willing to let him off just yet.
"Your Highness, we have already entered the atmosphere of the Nara Planetary System's main planet. When should we commence attack?" General Arnold asked deferentially.
Lance gazed out into the far distance and apathetically ordered, "Get a little closer. Seal off the entire area. Don't let any of them escape... all who resist are to be killed."
Arnold accepted his orders. This was the usual way of the Empire. They would never negotiate with the other party. It was normal to kill all resistors.... However, when Xie He heard all of this, the hands at his sides clenched tight. The veins in his forehead practically popped out, and a deep pain emerged within his eyes.
At that time, when his homeland had been destroyed... at that time, did the brutes of the Empire order to kill everyone in such a downplayed way, too? They destroyed his home! They turned his people into slaves!
Aside from death, their only choice was allegiance!
Why couldn't they have another choice? He didn't believe that there couldn't have been another choice! He would not die so easily. From the moment he left his home, his life was devoted to fighting for freedom!
Xie He glared at Lance, gaze unwavering. He was just itching to kill this fiend right at this moment. However, he knew that he could not act blindly without thinking. Right now, he would just end up a meaningless sacrifice.
After Arnold's command was conveyed, the Empire's immense mothership's cannons emitted a dazzling light. The entire Nara Planetary System was engulfed in its terrifying might. Countless laser beams shot down towards the beautiful planet, attacking it at a dizzying pace. The attack reduced the originally peaceful world to hell. Countless mechas and warships turned off their invisibility mechanisms and flew down like a swarm of locusts entering a country. Before the Empire's military, The Nara Planetary System's weak resistance was laughable... However, like moths to a flame, new soldiers continued to rush out to replace their fallen comrades!
Xie He could not bear to watch. He shut his eyes.
All of this made him recall the scene he didn't want to remember the most. It was like he had returned to that nightmarish day. His family, his friends, his loved ones—everything disappeared....
From then on, he wandered, homeless, within the ice-cold space.
Lance wasn't interested in watching this repetitive massacre. He was much more interested in Xie He. He turned around, stroked Xie He's curled lashes, and ordered, "Open your eyes."
Xie He didn't listen. He continued to keep his eyes tightly shut, pretending not to have heard.
Lance didn't get angry. He chuckled and then dragged Xie He over to the ceiling-to-floor glass window. He spoke softly into the other's ears, "Don't you want to watch? Watch how this Planetary System gets destroyed. See... how insignificant and pitiful you all are."
"Truly beautiful... it's like watching fireworks." Lance gazed outside. The disorderly fire of war was so close, as if it was right in his face."Your Federation... will be destroyed like this, sooner or later."
Xie He finally opened his eyes, slowly. He didn't open his eyes because he wanted to obey Lance's orders... It was because he told himself that he could not retreat from fear. He could not be afraid to face this. He had to personally watch this all and firmly engrave this moment's sorrow and helplessness into his heart! The Federation will not be destroyed... so long as even one person is willing to stand up and fight, the Federation will always exist!
He turned his head, eyes bright and scorching like the splendid sun, and told Lance, "You're wrong."
The expression in Lance's golden eyes changed slightly. He spoke in a patient tone, "What am I wrong about?"
Xie He said, "Perhaps you can destroy everything. However, there is something you can never destroy: hope. You cannot destroy the hope within the people's hearts."
Lance wrapped his arms around Xie He's waist from behind, lips pasted against the other's ear. He laughed, "Like the hope in your heart?"
Xie He's expression was resolute, "Yes."
Lance touched Xie He's lips with his fingertips. There was a faint smile on that incomparably handsome face."After you said that, it makes me want to try even more... because what I like the most is to destroy what others have no way of destroying."
At this moment, General Arnold came over and lowered his head. He said, "Your Highness, we have already infiltrated their capital city. They are preparing to evacuate!"
Lance didn't pay him any attention. He only stood there in front of the glass. Suddenly, he pinched Xie He's chin and kissed him....
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, not daring to watch!
Lance kissed him for quite a while. He kissed Xie He's pink lips until they were swollen and effused with a seductive red. Only then did he slowly turn and say, "Let their President escape."
Arnold didn't immediately react, "What?"
Lance looked at him, expression immediately cold, "General Arnold, you only need to do what you're told."
Arnold was so frightened he nearly broke out into a cold sweat, "I-I apologize. I will go do that!"
Arnold wasn't stupid. He was frightened by Lance's actions just now. However, after thinking back on it, he understood.
His Highness Lance had purposely kissed Xie He in the open while standing in front of the window of the control room. Furthermore, Xie He was dressed in the uniform of the Crown Prince's personal guards... Many eyes were on the control room of the mothership. The President of the Nara Planetary System and co. would have certainly seen this! So long as he let their President go in a calm fashion, pretending to let them escape... they would certainly go tell the Federation that Xie He had already betrayed them! As the Federation's Star, Xie He knew many of the Federation's upper-level secrets. This information would certainly make the Federation lose their heads in a panic!
Even if Xie He didn't say anything, the Federation would possibly jump out, thereby exposing their location on their own. Arnold thought that this was indeed a ruthless method. No wonder His Highness Lance neither planned on killing Xie He, nor cared whether he was willing to compromise. It was because no matter what, the ending would not be changed.
Only... it was just a pity that that person... he should be bathed in the glory of being a hero. But now, he would become a traitor that people cursed and spat on.
..........................................
"Mr. President, Your Excellency! We have successfully escaped!" An officer of the United Nations of the Nara Planetary System exclaimed emotionally.
Actually, it wasn't just him. Everyone on the starship was filled with glee after making it out alive. Originally, they thought that they would surely die. Who would have expected... they would actually make it out! Only, the ship had suffered quite a bit of damage. If they didn't get help soon, they would not last very long. Left in the vastness of the great outer space, only death awaited them. When they thought about this, a deathly pallor appeared on everyone's faces.
President Nelson muttered to himself for a while and then said, "Things have already come to this. We can only ask the Federation for help."
That officer was surprised. His Excellency the President had actually secretly been in contact with the Federation? It couldn't be because of that that the Empire had suddenly attacked them? However, he didn't dare ask too many questions. Right now, they would only rely on the Federation.
President Nelson continued muttering to himself before saying, "Let's head to the Hal Galaxy."
..........................................
On an unremarkable little asteroid in the Hal Galaxy, a secret meeting was being held by the higher-ups of the Federation!
This was a secret meeting of those highest in power. There were only five people with the qualifications to participate. Among them was a grey-haired, grey-eyed youth. This was Loren's good friend, Cecil.
The five of them sat around a round table. In the middle of the table was a video. Within the video was the Empire's military ships, attacking the Nara Planetary System like a descending demon. In the middle of the countless mechas and ships, the immense mothership in the middle attracted their eye the most. The camera zoomed into the mothership's control room. Through the transparent glass, they could see a handsome black-haired, golden-eyed man with his arms wrapped around a heroic-looking man. They were kissing, as if no one else was around. The heroic-looking man had brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing the black uniform of the Empire... it was Loren!
The video stopped here. The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in a grey uniform, Kent, was the first to speak. Although his expression was solemn, there was a terror deeply concealed within his eyes. He shouted, "It's obvious. Loren has already betrayed us! He's thrown himself into the Empire's arms! He knows too much about us. We must kill him at once! Otherwise, the Federation will be destroyed!"
These words immediately gained the agreement of two other members. They said, "Yes! We must kill him at once!"
Cecil had originally been immersed in his sorrow from finding out that Xie He had been captured. When he saw him being kissed by another man, pain and jealousy suddenly drowned him.... Now that he heard these people say such things, his heart immediately flared up in rage! He roared, "How do you know he's betrayed us? Did you hear it or see it? He risked his life to go assassinate the Empire's Crown Prince. He has risked his life for our sake countless times. Have you forgotten about his contributions? Now that he's lost once, you say that you want to kill him. Is this how you treat the Federation's warriors?!"
Cecil's words made shame emerge on these people's faces. However, fear still won over. Representative Kent continued, "If he hasn't betrayed us, then he should have killed himself as soon as he was captured. That way, no secrets would be leaked. As a member of the higher stratum of the Federation, shouldn't he understand this? Who doesn't know about how horrifying the Empire's torture is? No one has ever been able to persist under it. If he was really thinking of the Federation, he would have killed himself at once!"
Cecil clenched his hands into tight fists. He was itching to smash a hole into the other's old face. In a chilly tone, he said, "Our hero shed blood and puts his life on the line outside but you all... seem to think that he should kill himself if captured? Don't you think that we should do all we can to go save him? Perhaps he's waiting for us to save him... aren't you afraid that you'll make the people disillusioned like this?
At this time, another Representative spoke, "However, you've all seen the video. It's obvious that he's willing. He doesn't look like he's being forced at all.... The Empire's Crown Prince is kissing him! Can you imagine it? If he didn't betray us, how could the Empire's Crown Prince treat him like that! It's the Empire's Crown Prince!"
'The Empire's Crown Prince. ' These five words were like an immense stone, pressing down on their chests, making it hard to breathe. Aside from Cecil, everyone seemed to waver. They began to smear Xie He with all sorts of malicious appraisals.
"Say, do you think he'd defected a long time ago? Is that why he volunteered to go on the assassination mission this time?"
"It's possible... it's the Empire's Crown Prince, ne. If he sold us out and hugged onto the Empire's Crown Prince's thigh, he could have anything he wanted.... Who would still want to stay at the Federation and live like a stray dog... ?"
"He has definitely leaked information about us in exchange for the Empire's Crown Prince's favour. Our base is no longer safe. We must move at once!"
"I never expected that such an upright person would actually go seduce the Empire's Crown Prince. Truly astonishing, ah."
Cecil suddenly smashed a fist down onto the table. A huge, resounding sound caused the others to look at him, shocked. His face was full of anger, and his eyes were like globes of black ink. He shouted harshly, "Since this mission is so great, since you can use it as an opportunity to curry favour with the Empire's Crown Prince, why didn't you all volunteer to go from the get go?! At that time, just who was it that did all they could to shirk responsibility?!
"Loren's home was destroyed. He's been on the run for so long... have you all forgotten? He would never help the Empire!
"You're all cowards! Since you're so afraid, why don't you directly surrender?! Could it be that you're afraid that even if you surrender, the Empire won't value you? If you were given this chance, would you sell out the Federation without any hesitation?"
It truly made one feel bitterly disappointed to the max! The shadow that was the Empire had long since engraved itself into their bones. The terror made them lose their valour. Their resistance was just living on without purpose.... Who would have expected that the so-called Hope Federation was actually an unbearably dirty place. It was just a group of pitiful wretches struggling to survive!
And the true hero had been casually abandoned!
What 'hope'... if you depended on these people... just where would you find hope? Sorrow appeared in Cecil's eyes.
Cecil's words were a bit too much. He was the youngest member with the lowest seniority. None of the other Representatives were happy. Only, everyone sitting here was shrewd. They would not directly dispute with Cecil. Representative Kent acted very gentle and persuaded him, "Representative Cecil, we all know that you are in the prime of your youth. It hasn't been long since you entered the Federation, so you don't know just how frightening the Empire is. We only made it this far by being prudent. Moreover, we know that your relationship with Loren is good. However, it is not the time to let your emotions take control."
He looked at Cecil insipidly. In one stroke, he made the injustice that Cecil felt for Loren into that of a personal issue.
Hans, one of the Representatives that agreed with Kent before, promptly said, "Since our opinions are not unanimous, we should take a vote. Those that agree that Loren has already betrayed us and agree to send troops to invade the Empire's fleet and eradicate Loren, please raise your hand."
Once these words were said, three Representatives raised their hands immediately. All that was left was Cecil, who glared at them angrily, and the eldest member, Representative Reed, who had not spoken from start to end. With a elderly voice, he said, "I abstain from voting."
Three-to-one. There was no suspense as to their decision.
Cecil left the conference room, thick dejection in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly. I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I couldn't stop them. If I knew that this would happen... I wouldn't have let you go on this mission.
The people you risked your life to protect are these kinds of people... if you knew, you would certainly feel extremely sad, ba....
However, I can't do anything.
You must live. You must come back alive.
【Ding, Cecil's Favourability Value + 5. The current Favourability Value is 85. 】
....................................
The Empire's military very quickly settled down the last of the resisting forces. They occupied the Presidential Residence of the Nara Planetary System's capital planet. The soldiers cleaned out the President's Residence and made it Lance's temporary residence. They still had to stay there for a few days.
That night, Lance pressed Xie He onto the bed and did him a few times. He seemed to especially like Xie He's indignant and ashamed appearance. What was more important was that this addictive body wasn't delicate in the least. It could take him.
They were both Evolved Humans. Even if he was violent, he didn't have to worry that he would break the other. Lance, who got to enjoy himself to the fullest, felt very satisfied.
Every night, Xie He was very pleased. However, he didn't forget that he had work to do. Therefore, regardless of how Lance tormented him at night, the next day, he would don the uniform of the Crown Prince's personal guard and wander about. Very quickly he gained a rather thorough picture of the situation. The Empire soldiers didn't dare make things difficult for him. This was the person that could sleep in His Highness Lance's bed every night. Moreover, His Highness Lance hadn't ordered them to restrain him in any way. Therefore, unless Xie He tried to escape, they turned a blind eye to him.
Like this, Xie He became a special person with an awkward identity within the Empire's fleet.
The Empire officers were very worried over this. They, who had seen the torture Xie He had suffered, knew that Xie He would never betray the Federation. They thought that it was extremely dangerous for His Highness Lance to let such a person roam free! Each of them went to persuade Lance to kill him.
However, Lance remained unmoved. He continued to do as he wished.
Today, after Lance finished, he held Xie He in his arms as usual. He noticed that he liked to hold this person more and more. He reached his hand underneath the blanket and played with Xie He until he let out a suppressed moan. He then whispered into the other's ear, "Do you like it? It seems like your body is starting to like me more and more."
Xie He pursed his lips tightly, not saying a single word.
Right then, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly blared from outside! A light flashed through Lance's eyes, meaning unclear. He chuckled. They've finally come.
