Chapter 20 The only way

Oslan Empire, Military.

Ans looked at Luka, who was sitting at the table, with a worried look on his face.

He had never seen the colonel look so haggard.

The man in front of him was wearing a wrinkled white shirt, with sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his collar loosely unbuttoned. He held a cigarette in his hand. His originally sharp chin was now covered with stubble, and his once resolute and cold eyes were now filled with fatigue.

The ashtray in front of him, which was full of cigarette butts, became a beach covered with silverfish after high tide, and the wrinkled cigarette butts were almost overflowing from the ashtray.

"Colonel, please don't wait. The Federation has already given a very clear reply. They will not allow you to go to Soth."

"Any news about the first group of people sent out earlier?"

Ans shook his head and sighed, "As soon as they entered the border of Soth, their communications were cut off. Not only is there no news from the first group, but the second and third groups that were sent out later are probably in danger as well."

Although Sot, like Oslan, is a member of the Interstellar Federation, Sot is a multi-party system with checks and balances among various forces, and the domestic situation is complicated. In the Oslan Empire, the royal family has absolute say. The relationship between the two countries has become somewhat tense after the last Double Wing War, and it is a sensitive period.

Ans thought to himself: If I want to get Miss Sui Sui back from Sote now, I must get the nod from the Federation. But the problem is, Miss Sui Sui was transferred to Sote by the Federation, so how could they go back on their word? He scratched his head in annoyance.

"Don't worry too much, Colonel. They dare not neglect Miss Sui Sui's status. But you, your injuries haven't healed completely, and you haven't slept for four or five days. Even if you are in good health, you can't... Hey, Colonel, where are you going?"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Luka striding out with his coat in hand.

"Go to the imperial court."

He has tried everything. He can't wait any longer. He will go crazy if he can't see her again.

That's the only way.
A few days ago.

It was half a month later when Luka woke up from the medical cabin and was told that Sui Sui had been taken away by Zong Fang. He was about to go to Sote, but was stopped by Liberi.

"You know it yourself, you are a colonel in the military, your identity is sensitive, and you cannot enter Soth without a permit. Even if you break in, can you forcibly bring her back in your current physical condition?" Liberi held his shoulder and said, "I have already sent an invitation in the name of the royal family."

"What invitation?"

"An invitation to your and the princess's wedding ceremony."

Luka swayed, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"You are still telling me these meaningless things now?" He grabbed Liberi's collar, his face full of anger, "I don't even know if she is okay or not, or if she will feel uneasy in a strange place, and you still have time to meddle in such trivial matters!"

"Besides this, is there any other way for you to see her as soon as possible?"

"What do you mean?"

Libery pushed him away, tilted his head and adjusted his collar, his expression no longer as nonchalant as before.

"When you were unconscious, the news about Sui Sui was spread by someone with ulterior motives."

Some people took advantage of the post on Xingyun that secretly photographed Sui Sui at the Royal Hospital and spread the news that she was a fertile viviparous female, and the key point was that she had no guardian or spouse.

As soon as the news came out, many male beastmen with evil intentions were ready to act. You know, a female without a guardian or a spouse is basically first come first served for them. In addition, Sui Sui was already very popular, so even though Liberi reacted quickly to remedy the situation, the people who reposted and spread the news were organized and planned, and it was still seen by many people and continued to ferment. Hearing this, Luka asked nervously, "What about her pregnancy?"

"Fortunately, her report was managed by the dean himself, so no news leaked out. But there is one thing I can't understand. The person behind the scenes obviously wanted to push Sui Sui to the forefront, but he didn't throw out the most explosive news. This means..."

Luka's eyes flickered, and he continued, "This means that either the other party doesn't know that Sui Sui's true identity is an ancient human, or he is leaving himself a way out and doesn't want to do anything extreme."

"That's right, but no matter what the reason is, don't you think it's too coincidental that the other party spread this kind of news at this critical moment?"

Luka frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Libery raised an eyebrow and said only four words.

"Isabelle."

"Did she hire someone to do it?"

Luka lowered his head and thought, and Liberi's voice rang in his ears: "During the days when you were unconscious, she was not idle either. She ran to your aunt every day. One time I accidentally heard her begging your aunt to advance the ceremony. She was so anxious, I think she knew something."

Luka's expression turned cold, "I'll go talk to Taiyang."

The Sun is the honorific title for the emperor of the Oslan Empire.

Libery immediately stretched out his foot to block him.

"Sicoses, don't you understand yet? Isabel has done something to hurt Su Su out of jealousy, and it's all because of you. If you go and tell your uncle to break off the engagement with her now, won't that anger her even more?"

"So I'm just going to do nothing and watch others attack her in secret?!"

"The only thing you can do now is to hold a ceremony with Isabel. At the marriage ceremony of the princess of the Oslan Empire, all member states will attend, and among them, important figures from Sote will definitely be present. The invitation I sent is a signal to Su Su. She is so smart that she will definitely understand the purpose of this invitation."

"You mean, let Sui Sui follow Sote's people to attend my marriage ceremony?"

"This is the only way to see her as quickly as possible."

"What if it fails? What if they don't let her come over?" Luka sat down dejectedly, feeling powerless. He looked at Liberi with red eyes and a trembling voice: "That's my mating ceremony. I want her to see me officially belong to another female. I can't do it."

Liberi looked back quietly and said coldly: "If you force your way in, will Sote's people let you see her? Or do you think Zongfang will hand over the ancient human that he has finally obtained?" He put one hand in his pocket and walked away, leaving behind a sentence before leaving -

"Is your future more important, or is she more important? You choose."

The imperial court at this time.

The emperor agreed to summon Luca and granted his request to advance the ceremony.

Isabel ran over excitedly after hearing the news, but saw an expressionless man walking down the long stairs step by step, as if he was walking through his long life. His whole body was as frozen as ice, lonely and cold.

She suddenly felt a little flustered, and felt that he was so far away from her, so she couldn't help but shout:
"Luka."
