Chapter 1 Winter Solstice(2/2)
The city gate did not stop them and let them rest in the posthouse outside the city, but let them in?
Is that what His Majesty meant?
Suddenly, a chill appeared on his face, which made Cohen wince!
Cohen stretched out his hand and touched a piece of crystal on his face.
The security officer was stunned.
He stretched out his hand and received the second piece outside the window, and the third piece was crystal clear.
White stars fell all over the sky.
Snowing.
Cohen took a deep breath and looked at the sky.
Winter has arrived.
——————————
early morning.
He woke up from the unique hard stone bed in Fuxing Palace.
He slid off the bed and stepped onto the same cold stone ground as expected.
It seems to be even colder than yesterday.
Thales felt like he was living in a dream yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, he walked step by step from the Hall of Stars to step onto the star-blue carpet with Gilbert, no longer caring about the continued quarrel between the king and the lord behind him.
The nobles, bureaucrats and people on both sides saluted him.
Addressed as "Your Highness".
His Highness Thales.
"Are you so excited that you hallucinate?"
Thales suddenly woke up and looked up to see Jinni.
The mature and charming palace lady was leaning against the stone door with her arms folded, looking at him quietly,
"No, there isn't."
The time traveler replied calmly.
"I just think it's a little unreal."
"I'm also very confused."
Jinni looked at him and hummed softly: "Of course, you were just a nobody before, but now you are a prince, Prince Thales, the second prince of the stars."
"No, it's not that simple." Thales sighed, smiled bitterly, buttoned his shirt, and grabbed his jacket.
"In the past, I only had to think about how to survive."
"starting today."
"What I have to consider is how to live."
Thales answered silently and buttoned the last button of his belt.
Jinni frowned and raised her eyebrows again.
Another shining star - she said secretly.
Sad shining star.
Thales tied up his leather boots, but those words reappeared in his mind:
【Fight for the stars, die for the stars, and... live for the stars.】
Am I really ready?
He paused, then buckled the sheathed jc dagger onto the belt on his back again.
"Are you ready, Your Highness?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Gilbert's figure appeared at the door, his face unusually solemn.
Jinni sighed and made room for the former Foreign Secretary.
Gilbert took off his hat and saluted Jinnie, and said to Thales: "Please forgive me for disturbing your sleep the next day, Your Highness, but... please speed up your grooming."
Thales looked puzzled.
Gilbert took a deep breath: "They are here, Your Highness."
"His Majesty hopes that you will stand by his side and meet those people with him."
"Those people?" Thales asked doubtfully.
But he reacted immediately.
The traveler also looked back at Gilbert solemnly.
"Yes, those people."
Gilbert nodded, pursed his lips, and uttered one word hesitantly but finally firmly:
Chapter completed!
