Chapter 31 Lan Ze
On the long white porcelain walkway, a servant was kneeling and mopping the floor, trying to polish the eyes of the sphinx carved on the walkway. He was so focused that he didn't notice the people passing by. He turned around and kicked over the bucket next to him, and the water splashed onto a pair of luxurious boots.

"Ah, Your Highness, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I, I..."

The servant looked up at the newcomer in panic and was stunned for a moment. The other person's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He pretended not to hear anything and walked straight past the servant and slowly walked to the end of the corridor.

"Strange. Doesn't that prince usually smile?"

The servant shook his head, attributing Libery's rare expression to his own negligence, and continued to wipe the floor cautiously.

Liberi walked out of the main hall, the sunlight hit him, casting a shadow on the ground. His hair color looked black indoors, and only under strong light could the golden brown color hidden at ordinary times be seen, just like his nature.

When he learned that Sui Sui was summoned by the Sun, Liberi rushed over, fearing that she would be embarrassed. Unexpectedly, he heard his good uncle want to find a partner for her.
Lanze.

Ah.

Liberi's eyes were grim as he turned to look towards the end of the corridor.

"You forced me."

In the main hall.

Qiao Susu did not make a clear statement. She neither refused nor agreed. She just said she needed to consider it.

The emperor also understood that this was not a final matter, so he just said a few polite words and had her taken back.

She lowered her eyes and thought all the way, and when she walked to her bedroom, she almost missed it because she was too focused. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she was pulled into a familiar embrace.

"Luka?" She poked her head out of the man's arms and asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?"

Luka held her tightly, leaving her only a little space to look up at him. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, smiling slightly.

"They said you were out, so I had to come in and wait. You were gone for a long time."

When Qiao Susu saw that he was still wearing the special clothes for the medical cabin, she knew that he had come here without permission.

"I'm going to see the emperor. Are you really okay like this? How are you injured?"

"I feel better after seeing you."

Luka used his fingers to gently push her hair behind her ears, his eyes full of tenderness. He said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of our child."

Seeing her shaking her head repeatedly and looking at him with eyes full of trust, Luka's heart melted into a pool of water, and his originally cold and sharp facial features softened.

It turns out that love can really change a person.

He didn't believe it before, let alone have this feeling, but ever since he met her, his heart couldn't help but want to be close to her, to possess her, to make her smile for him. Just like now, seeing her leaning on him and curled up in his arms, he felt an indescribable satisfaction.

Luka's love was like a faucet that had been opened, pouring out without any concealment.

"I will continue to search for Munakata's whereabouts. If you are worried, I will go directly to Sote."

It is impossible to say that she is not worried at all, but Qiao Susu knows that Zong Fang will not hurt her cub because that is a bargaining chip to blackmail her. Instead, Zong Fang will try every means to feed the cub to counter her.

So this is not the most urgent situation at the moment, but rather
"Would you blame me if I paired off with someone else?"

Hearing this, Luka was startled, his eyelids drooped, and after a while he said, "Is it Liberi?"

Qiao Suisui nodded, "It's Libery, but it's not Ash, it's Lan Ze."

Luka was in a trance for a moment before his expression froze. He asked again as if to confirm: "Lanze Liberi?"

"Ah."

Seeing his chest rising and falling, Qiao Susu thought he was very bothered, so she lowered her head guiltily, crumpled up the corner of his clothes and then let go, then crumpled up again, whispering, "For me, it doesn't matter who my spouse is. What's more important is my baby's father."

This is the truth. Only if the cub's genes are good can she get the highest score, so the cub's father is of course very important.

But Luka didn't know this. He felt both distressed and depressed after hearing this.

"Lan Ze doesn't deserve you."

"I know you will be uncomfortable, but if you don't agree to the emperor's conditions, you will..."

"No, Sui Sui."

Luka held her face. Although he was in the medical cabin, the news from the outside world was reported to him by Ans. When he learned that Sun had summoned him, he came despite opposition because he guessed that Sun would use him to threaten Sui Sui to become a female of the Lebery family so as to reproduce. At the mating ceremony, Sui Sui's appearance and fertility could no longer be covered up. All the males in the Federation knew that she was the only viviparous female. How could the emperor not be moved?

But Lan Ze really can't do it.
"When I said he was not good enough for you, I was not saying it in anger. It was just that Lanzel Liberi was a defective product in the incubation."

"what?"

"Although he inherited the superior genes of the Stag Orcs, he is blind and has no five senses."

"But the emperor said that Lan Ze is his most preferred heir. What's going on?"

"The sun didn't lie to you. Lan Ze's talent is foresight. He predicted the fate of Oslan twice. Once was the disaster brought about by the collective rage of the orcs, and once was the result of the Battle of the Two Wings."

Foreknowledge?

Qiao Susu's eyes flickered.

"It was also because of his prediction that Oslan became the only member state in the interstellar space that suffered the least losses in the face of these two huge disasters. The Sun valued him and focused on training him, firmly believing that there would be no problem handing Oslan over to him. But I don't care whether Lan Ze can become the new sun of Oslan in the future. If I have to watch your spouse become a male who can't take care of you and protect you, Sui Sui, I can't do it."

As he spoke, Luka gently kissed the corners of her eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally her lips.

"He can't make you happy like this because he can't feel happy himself."

He kissed her passionately, holding her tongue tightly and not letting go. Qiao Susu's hands were on his chest, afraid of touching his wound, and she didn't dare to push hard.

"Luka, don't."

"I've wanted to kiss you like this for a long time."

He picked her up and carried her to the bed, then laid her gently on the bed.

The man leaned over and pressed down, controlling his strength so as not to overwhelm her while still locking her firmly in his arms.

"Sui Sui, I want to hug you when you are awake, can I?"

She felt her whole body go limp, and a hot big hand was wandering all over her body. She hummed softly, holding his strong arms with both hands.

"Luka, even if we do it this time, we won't be able to have a child."

The man laughed, his handsome eyes and eyebrows sparkled like stars.

"Not for the children."

He closed his eyes and kissed her passionately.

"All I want is you."

Hearing this, Qiao Susu finally stopped refusing.

Luka raised her hands above her head, held her small hands with his big hands, and when he was excited, he held them tightly, interlocking their fingers.
