After the Imperial Crown Prince Robin personally visited Planet Alpha, the capital of Raymond Kingdom, it became an unchangeable fact that Raymond Kingdom ceased to exist.
After September 14, 2085, the Alpha Galaxy was officially incorporated into the Empire's territory. This allowed the Alpha Galaxy and Proxima Star Domain, which had been divided by war for several years, to finally be unified under another system.
With the complete transfer of national power, a new system was quickly established in the Alpha Galaxy. Through genetic assessment, talent assessment and other systems, a group of elites who had been buried in this decadent kingdom were quickly promoted and gained enviable social status. At the same time, the royal family represented by the Rex family and other traditional large families that maintained their social status through commercial means were deprived of their political rights.
It is true that representatives of wealthy families like Robert Rockefeller still retain their huge wealth and their right to do business, but under the empire's system, they lack growth potential and outstanding talents and are destined to be unable to enter the empire's ruling class and can only serve as lifelong servants. An ordinary imperial civilian living under the protection of the empire.
And due to differences in talents, not all members of wealthy families have lost their social status. Just like Simon Dupont and Duke Arthur. Simon Dupont and some other members of the Dupont family all have outstanding academic attainments in biology and chemical engineering, which makes them fortunate to obtain the status of scholars through talent assessment and have the possibility of being promoted to nobility in the future. As for Duke Arthur, as the strongest knight in the kingdom, Duke Arthur's own strength should not be underestimated. Although looking at the empire. Duke Arthur is no longer qualified to be ranked in the first echelon, but gaining the status of a baron is more than enough. Therefore, after the kingdom was annexed, Duke Arthur was one of the few lucky ones whose personal rights were not greatly damaged and had the opportunity to continue to lead the army.
Under the deterrent force posed by the military. A series of power changes and the empire's administrative system quickly spread across the Alpha system. Through genetic assessment and talent assessment, artificial intelligence 'Zeus' not only assessed the average quality of Raymond Kingdom's people, but also quickly completed the preliminary work of household registration statistics and personal behavior supervision. At the same time, computer expert Christine also used a large number of equipment that had been prepared to establish a 'Zeus' extension terminal on Alpha Planet, so that the electronic tentacles of the artificial intelligence 'Zeus' could truly penetrate into the starry sky and completely release its administrative control.
A group of clone warriors with low combat capabilities who were eliminated in the military selection of the group army will officially take over the defense and case management of the entire Alpha system as military police, so that after the army leaves the Alpha system. The empire still has enough force to deter the restless elements in this new land.
Eagle Palace.
The empire¡¯s administrative system has been properly implemented with the cooperation of all parties, which allows Robin to complete the preparations for the Alpha system ahead of schedule and put the next target on the line of sight for conquest. But not before that. How to properly deal with the queen of the kingdom, Audrey Rex, has become a problem in his eyes.
According to the empire¡¯s administrative system and the original strategy, Robin is not actually responsible for Audrey Rex¡¯s future. But no matter what, Audrey Rex had some connections with Robin after all, which made Robin unable to make up his mind to completely ignore her future. And in terms of talents, apart from having some scheming skills cultivated during the power struggle, Audrey Rex has no other talents. She is completely an ordinary person. This makes it difficult for her to survive in the empire on her own in the future. So for personal reasons, Robin must make a proper arrangement for her future.
"Actually, you don't have to rush to arrange a position for yourself. You see, your Rex family has completely replaced the former Osvid family in the past few years. It has monopolized the kingdom's arms industry and has its own Military factory. Although the empire has annexed your business due to its industrial attributes, it has also given you very generous subsidies. This is enough to allow you, the members of the Rex family, to live well in the empire. As you Say, I believe that the wealth you have can already allow you to spend your whole life in abundance, why are you so anxious to ask me to arrange a job for you?"
In the study room in the Eagle Palace, Robin looked at Audrey with a wry smile. in my own impression. Robin had almost forgotten this girl who had only met him once, but Audrey stubbornly insisted that Robin take responsibility for her life. This gave Robin a headache.
"After you took away my country and my father's dream, are you only willing to give me a future like a walking zombie?"
""
Seeing the stunningly beautiful Audrey staring at him with such a look that was almost resentful, Robin really couldn't help butHe made up his mind to reject her, and could only helplessly rub his brows and think about countermeasures.
Seeing that Robin seemed to have difficulty handling this matter for a while, Martina, who was currently staying by Robin's side as an assistant, couldn't help but persuade her: "Audrey, why do you have to make it so difficult for yourself? The empire and other countries are different The difference is that in this country, every position has to bear tremendous pressure. So, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to live like an ordinary person? Moreover, if you are really unwilling to live such an ordinary life, you can choose any subject Study, and I will arrange the best learning conditions for you. You are still young and you still have enough time to prove yourself."
"Martina, are you much older than me? You are only four years older than me. Moreover, in terms of governing the country and personal abilities, do you really dare to think that you are better than me?" Audrey asked with a smile. He stared at Martina with great hostility.
The war between the New Federation and the Raymond Kingdom was once called a war between two women. They were equally young, equally beautiful, and both national leaders, and had been compared together countless times by the citizens, so for They have this indescribable innate hostility towards each other.
And Audrey¡¯s straightforward questioning immediately made Martina¡¯s face look ugly.
Indeed, during the confrontation between the New Federation and the Raymond Kingdom. The New Federation has always been at a disadvantage. Without Robin's support, the kingdom might have defeated the New Federation and unified the country. Therefore, when Audrey used this as a capital to question Martina, she really had nothing to say to refute. And from the perspective of personal characteristics. Martina also has many similarities with Audrey. In terms of personal talents, none of them have any special talents, nor do they have the kind of talents that can be assigned to a specific position. Their strengths were limited to administration, but when Robin decided to use artificial intelligence 'Zeus' to take charge of national government affairs, their talent had lost its meaning. Therefore, from a personal perspective, their future positions and roles are indeed very embarrassing.
"Audrey, you must make something clear first. I currently have no formal position in the empire. I am only staying with Robin in my personal capacity as an assistant." Martina pursed her lips tightly and her tone began to change. It became cold.
"Hmph!" Audrey snorted arrogantly: "Since you can be an assistant, then I can also be an assistant."
"You" Martina felt that Audrey was deliberately making trouble unreasonably.
The reason why she is willing to abandon her identity as the president and only stay with Robin as an assistant is because she does not have much desire for power, and on the other hand it is because of her love for Robin. She was willing to give everything for Robin unconditionally, and so many years of selfless dedication had already cultivated an inseparable relationship between the two, which even Cecilia had already acquiesced to. Now. Audrey actually questioned her existence on this point, which immediately made her feel unacceptable.
In fact, neither Robin nor Martina can understand Audrey's psychology at this moment.
In the eyes of Robin and Martina, Audrey is just the daughter of an old friend. Although her father Brandon Rex played an important role in Robin's rise. But according to the situation at the time, both parties were just using each other, and there was no deep friendship between them. Moreover, the impression Audrey left on Robin was still just that quirky little girl. Fundamentally speaking, they had never seen Audrey as an adult until now.
But in fact, Audrey, who was regarded as a tool in the game of power five years ago, is no longer the simple girl in their eyes. The tortuous life of the past five years and the sense of helplessness left Audrey with too deep a trauma. Therefore, although there are many similarities between them. But fundamentally, Audrey and Martina are completely different.
Martina had Robin by her side to help her when she was most helpless. But Audrey didn't, when she was most helpless. No one around her could help her. She was like a little lamb kidnapped into a pack of wolves, losing all protection and could die at any time. Moreover, she is four years younger than Martina, and is completely just a child, both mentally and physically.
This completely different experience from Martina makes her more independent and able to understand the dangers of people's hearts than Martina. But at the same time, she envied Martina because of it, and was jealous of Martina having Robin by her side.
At that cocktail party five years ago, everyone, including Robin, had almost forgotten about that ordinary social event. But Audrey remembered it very clearly. It was the last time she was cared for like a real carefree little princess. She even remembered the scene of Robin following her with a dinner plate, and it was even clearer. I remember when my father announcedLandon Rex joked about marrying his daughter to him.
In Robin's opinion, it was just a simple joke, and even it was really just a joke on Brandon's part. But because of a series of encounters that followed, Audrey has been unable to care. She stubbornly believed that this was her last chance to find support. If she had been a few years older at that time, as long as she was as old as Martina, Robin would not just treat her as a child. If Robin had helped his father because of this relationship, his father would not have died, and he would not have been involved in this desperate whirlpool.
Therefore, the reason why she is hostile to Martina is that she believes that Martina has taken away her last happiness. She hates this sister who is four years older than herself. The paranoia in her heart and the distortion of her soul made her forget what true happiness is. She was just like Leona a few years ago. Unknowingly, she regarded herself as a tool, just to chase the pursuit of happiness. Her imagined 'happiness'.
