The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

“Is this how you deal with problems?”
Dylan picked her up and said, "You don't really think that if you sleep on it again and wake up, this won't happen, do you?"

"No."
Su Yao covered her head. "What do you mean? Why would he go there? Is it really him?"

“Those people only photographed the black fog.”
Dylan looked equally puzzled. "But if I heard that the director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency is... Anyway, if that thing is there, it can completely control everything, whether it is the light computers of passers-by or the surveillance cameras on the street, so they can't capture anything. Of course, even if they really captured Kyle III, I'm afraid no one would dare to publish it."

"If it's the last case, then the dead person must be an S-rank, otherwise he wouldn't have killed him personally. But assuming they really didn't film anything, how do they know who died?"
Su Yao looked through the news, "Just because of that ship? If there is that ship, it must be that legion commander?"

Dylan said that Seraphim had a grudge against the former Duke Su, and she actually knew about this.

Moreover, those large criminal gangs and the powerful people in various forces all have more or less some grudges against each other.

Going back further, there were also their ancestors during the federal period. There were more than one or two poisonous lion scorpions at that time, and this group of people offended even more.

Of course, the love, hatred and vengeance from hundreds of years ago continue to this day, and what remains are all to prove the strength of bloodline rather than to avenge anyone.

"It's so weird."
Su Yao shook her head, "But the Seraphim have also been plundering the Empire's ships or messing around on the border."

"Yeah, so it wouldn't be surprising if one day Emperor Seria couldn't stand it anymore and killed them all. Although that guy doesn't look like someone who cares about these things, or he doesn't seem to care about anything. You know, I heard that he sleeps most of the time in the palace-"

Su Yao suddenly jumped up.

Kyle messaged her again.

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: Which route are you on?

Su Yao didn't ask any more questions and gave a trusting reply.

[Hold on, don’t block it yet]: I’m about to enter the Quilter galaxy.

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: That’s no problem.

Su Yao was full of question marks.

[Hold on, don’t block them yet]: Under what circumstances will there be a problem?

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: Isn't there another route for you to return to Dorne? You might get into trouble if you take that route.

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: Although it won’t be a problem.

Su Yao: “???”

Is it there or not?

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: There is a certain probability of encountering a small-scale pirate fleet on your route. You can definitely handle it.

Su Yao vaguely understood.

He probably had some information channel that let him know the location of some pirates. If he were on another route, he might encounter more troublesome enemies.

She felt relieved.

[Hold on, don’t block me yet]: OK, thank you! Don’t worry, my boat is running fast!
And as long as they are not the legion commander, she can fight with them.

Even a legion commander can fight, but he will most likely fail.

When the spacecraft was about to leave the Styx star field, an urgent communication was received on the bridge.

"This is the Gemini XII passenger ship..."

This news was being broadcast in all cabins of the spacecraft.

"Send an emergency call to all Orlai ships in the Styx galaxy 2355, 32903 area: Level priority, attacked by the Seraph guerrilla fleet, conventional weapons are ineffective..."

Su Yao was listening to Dylan talking about the hardships he had gone through in developing his abilities, and was stunned when she heard the words.

"Saturday."
She blinked. "How far are those coordinates from our ship?"

Their own shuttle ships, including the rest of the fleet, are small and medium-sized ships equipped with superluminal engines, and are much faster than passenger ships.

By the time the passenger ship sends the message and it is received here, it is enough time for them to fly far away.

The intelligent computer immediately replied: "It will be within range in three minutes, sir. The carrier code of the message has been confirmed by the border inspection air fortress. It is a medium-sized passenger ship from Beihe Xinghang Company with more than 3,000 passengers. The air fortress support is on the way."

"Well, then we should maintain the current cruising speed, and then... notify those frigates to attack them once they are within range."

Ten seconds later.
The frigate captains sent in the responses they had received.

Dylan was still leaning on the sofa. "Don't you want to go and see for yourself? Isn't Beihe Xinghang your company?"

"…It's just a small stake. How am I supposed to see it? Stand in the boat? Or fly over in a fighter jet? I don't even have a pilot's license."

"Of course," His Royal Highness said with a twitch in his mouth, "If someone without a driver's license uses this method to support a ship attacked by pirates, he will definitely be sentenced."

"Is it possible that when I said I didn't have a driver's license, I meant I couldn't drive those things manually."

It is not suitable to use autonomous driving at this time.

After Su Yao finished speaking, she turned her head and said, "And I don't accept any complaints. I will learn it sooner or later. I just don't know how to do it now-"

"I'm not going to tell you off," Dylan interrupted her, "I can take you up there."

"Huh? How do we get up there?"

"Wait a minute, I have to see that ship with my eyes."

Two minutes later, a chaotic battlefield appeared outside the porthole.

Dozens of small and medium-sized interceptor ships, like swift peregrine falcons, with six-wing patterns engraved on their hulls, formed a constantly changing battle formation, surrounding the passenger ship in the center.

Those small boats kept moving around and attacking, trying to destroy the shield generators on both sides of the passenger ship, but the passenger ship was not completely defenseless.

The twelve turbolaser cannons on board were outputting at maximum power, and indigo beams of light poured down like rain, weaving a dazzling light web in space.

However it doesn't seem to be particularly effective.

The interceptor ship's shield was extremely strong, and it withstood the bombardment from the passenger ship without seeming to suffer any damage. Even the shield did not show any signs of being shaken by the impact.

At the same time, in the hangar at the bottom of the passenger ship, the thick layers of security doors were shaking and were forcibly pulled open by the traction beam outside.

Several small fighter planes roared into the hangar.

They were very small, similar in size to ordinary two-person wing cars, and therefore extremely agile. They easily dodged the strafing fire from the ship's turrets and robots, and then began to fight back.

The robot guards were instantly blown to pieces, turning into debris rolling all over the ground.

The turret in the corner of the hangar was also destroyed.

The fighter jet quickly stopped and landed, and more than a dozen people poured out from it, all wearing close-fitting light mechas, with charged weapons at hand ready to go.

"Go to the weapons platform and shut down their cannons. Magna's ability won't last long..."

"You guys follow me to the command room, and the rest of you go to the control room. Lock those passengers in the cabin. Who knows what abilities they have..."

"If you encounter a lone person outside, kill a few first and control the situation. Do you understand?!"

The leading captain shouted, "Don't talk to them! Don't look into their eyes! If you don't know those people, you have to be wary of all kinds of abilities that can knock you down in one encounter!"

The men were silent, no one objected, and they quickly dispersed.

They are familiar with the internal structure of various ships, especially the passenger ships commonly used by airlines.

Just one look from the outside will show you the distribution of all the areas.

Soon after, the passenger ship's laser cannons shut down one after another and stopped working.

"…What's going on?! Why aren't you fighting anymore?!"
"What the hell, I can't even hit you!"

"You can't give up, right?"
"Besides, we are about to enter the country. If we hold on a little longer, the customs fleet will arrive..."

In the cabins and viewing corridors of the spacecraft.

Countless panicked passengers crowded in front of the portholes, staring at the pirate ship in space.

Some people realized that the situation was not good and had rolled up their sleeves to prepare for battle, while others were raising their hands to take pictures of the scene outside and even hurriedly posted them on social media platforms.

Although in this interstellar age, passenger ships are attacked by pirates almost every day.

But it also happens in different places, and many people may not experience it even once in their decades of life.

At this time, the captain, his deputy and several experienced crew members had found the command room.

On the way they met the ship's security team.

The battle between the two sides ended quickly.

Those drone mechas were quickly destroyed and turned into metal fragments on the ground.

The pirates soon arrived at the bridge.

A man opened his gauntlet and touched the access panel of the command room's door, with strands of turquoise electric light emanating from between his fingers.

A prompt indicating that authorization has been passed appears on the panel.

The door slowly opened.

boom!
The pirate captain threw the head of a heavy mecha in.

Then they slowly stepped into the bridge and looked at the pale-faced crew members, as well as the captain and first mate who seemed calm.

"...I know who is behind your Beihe Xinghang."
The captain sneered and reported a number, "You know how rich those lions are. If I don't receive the remittance within five minutes, I will have someone blow up a cabin every ten seconds."

Beihe Xinghang's passenger ship is expensive and well-equipped. The time just now was enough for them to send a distress signal, and the range must be quite large.

It’s not known who will receive the messages for a while, but the reinforcements from Ole Customs always arrive quickly.

"Whatever you ask, I will convey it to you."
The captain of the passenger ship said calmly, "But I can only contact my superiors. Apart from that, I don't have any other contact information."

"I will not change my terms."
The captain of the space pirates interrupted her and looked down at his computer. "I have already started counting the time. This amount of money is not enough for your duke to repair the spaceship. If she doesn't mind that future passengers stay away from your company, then she--" The first mate of the passenger ship couldn't help but speak up. "She only has a little share, and she doesn't even hold the largest share. I'm afraid she won't know about this until it's on the news."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise at the door of the command room.

In a gust of strong air current, the scenery in the air suddenly became blurred, as if a constantly rotating vortex appeared.

The next second, a man and a woman fell to the ground while pulling each other.

To be precise, they came in almost lying down.

So when it appears in front of people, it looks like it has fallen.

"…What the hell?! You even turned the person 90 degrees with this teleportation?!"
The dark-haired woman jumped up from the ground, "I might as well have come here on the boat with them!"

"I told you not to struggle. I'm not very talented in this area, and I've never led someone to move such a long distance."
The silver-haired man also stood up slowly. "I have tried it with my mom and dad, but their habits and tolerance are much stronger than yours."

The moment they appeared, the pirates opened fire with the fastest reaction.

However, the powerful high-explosive ammunition only tore the clothes of the two men, leaving the skin underneath unharmed.

The pirate captain's face changed slightly.

The two were even arguing.

"Ha, you have better parents than an eighteen-year-old, that's something to be proud of, right?"

"You're talking about age at this time. You know that if you go to the battlefield, the Lightborn will not--"

"I said age? Of course I have to say age! Because that's the reason! The emperor next door can move across galaxies, and you just crossed two cabins and traveled two thousand meters, right?"

"…Then go date Kyle III!"

"Okay, as long as he's willing, I'll definitely consider it!"

The young black-haired woman cursed and turned around, her eyes casually scanning the cabin, and suddenly she saw the wreckage of the mecha on the ground.

Her expression paused, and her shiny golden eyes moved, her gaze falling on the face of the pirate captain.

"You just lost a legion commander. Shouldn't you go back to attend the memorial service at this time? Or do beasts not have such emotions and rituals?"

The star pirate captain sneered, "You——"

There was gunfire from the lower deck.

Su Yao turned around.

"It's not a big problem. Your bodyguards are enough to handle those people. If you are worried, you can go and take a look."
Dylan said lazily, "Anyway, there doesn't seem to be anything worth dealing with here. It won't take more than a few seconds. I'll go with you."

The star pirate captain's face looked extremely ugly, and he couldn't utter any threats or ridicule.

He could naturally see that these two people were extraordinary.

And it's not even five minutes yet.

However, he was at the A-level of deep awakening, and if he could delay a little longer, perhaps he could wait until—

"?!"

Blood suddenly splashed in the cabin.

The pirate captain's head flew out.

The only scene that remained in his eyes was a streak of fluttering silver hair, like a flash of cold lightning.

Su Yao: "..."

Of all the people in the command room, she was probably the only one with eyesight that could barely see what had just happened.

His Royal Highness the Prince did not transform into a beast. He just suddenly moved to the side of the man and made a palm-knife gesture with his human hand.

Then he easily cut off the pirate captain's neck.

It's as easy as cutting a piece of tofu.

The silver-haired young man pulled out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his hands slowly. "Just don't let him enter the awakening state, otherwise he might damage the things in the boat."

The pirate captain's head rolled to the side.

This man did not die immediately after being beheaded. The blood vessels at the broken neck were even wriggling, dragging his head towards his body.

He could even still feel and react to everything around him.

"This worthless life is not as valuable as the equipment here—"

The pirate captain heard the man say this.

"Ok?"
The young woman next to the head asked, "Do you know what his bounty is? Do you know him?"

In the vision of the head on the ground, the white and slender calves in front of him moved.

The naked, delicate feet were stuck in sandals, and the light blue blood vessels on the insteps meandered, rising and falling slightly as she walked.

Then there was a deep red color that was almost pitch black, like dried blood.

Like the shadow cast by the Grim Reaper's scythe.

A huge scorpion tail dragged by.

The venom dripped slowly.

That was the last thing the Star Pirate Captain saw.

Do not!
His self-healing ability is even better than some S-class ones. If he is given a little more time, he can even grow a new body!

Severe pain and darkness swept over me at the same time.

"do not know."
Dylan raised his foot to avoid the festering flesh on the ground, "Fuck, you're so poisonous..."

"But I know him."
He silently gave a thumbs up, "He can't hurt us, but this guy's self-healing ability is so strong that he can be resurrected as long as there is a piece of meat left."

The severed head and torso were squirming, and countless blisters appeared, quickly turning into pus, blood and rotten flesh, before continuing to wilt and shrink.

In the end, only the blood stains on the ground remained, which, under the powerful disinfectant liquid, turned into white mist rising in the air.

"I'm not really good at dealing with this type of person, and his bounty isn't very high. Even the bounty hunters... the capable ones won't care about the money, and the incapable ones can't kill him."

"Huh?" Su Yao looked at him suspiciously. "Didn't you look like you could solve it easily? It won't take more than a few seconds?"

Dylan was very calm, "That's because I know you're with me, baby. The total time between our shots is only a few seconds."

Su Yao ignored him, "How much bounty does this person have?"

"Four or five million?"

"…If there are casualties, compensate them."
Su Yao looked at the mecha head on the ground and said, "I'll go down and take a look."

She ignored the other pirates in the command room.

Su Yao has been using her mental power to sense the movements on the lower deck.

Her strength was not very stable yet, so it was sometimes there and sometimes not, but she knew roughly that there was nothing wrong with the bodyguards.

When she arrived, the battle was over, some of the pirates were dead or surrendered, the passengers hid far away, and only a few were injured.

"I'm sorry to make you work overtime. I know this is not your responsibility."
She told one of the leaders of the bodyguard team, “I will give you more bonuses according to the contract.”

"It's okay, sir. I also had family members killed by space pirates."
The latter shook his head, "You don't have to..."

Dylan appeared behind them.

Su Yao turned around.

"I just dealt with the people in the control room, but they still have a person with special abilities in the ship outside..."
He reached out and held her shoulders, a smile flashing in his green eyes, "Do you want to try flying a pirate fighter? There are several in the hangar!"

Su Yao's eyes lit up.

……

Meanwhile, at the Seria Palace.

Kyle had just returned when he received a message from the Director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

He thought about it and opened it.

The first thing that caught my eye was a message that seemed very familiar.

“——It’s still not my photo.”

Three seconds later.

Kyle looked at a piece of news titled "Joining forces to repel the star pirates: Good things are about to happen to the Orleans royal family?" and fell into deep thought again.

The first picture in the news showed a viewing corridor of a spaceship, with blood splattered on the walls and corpses and mecha fragments scattered on the floor.

The black-haired girl stood in the middle, tilting her head slightly.

The silver-haired man next to her put his arm around her shoulders and leaned over to speak in her ear.

Probably due to the interference device, the faces of both people were blurry.

Perhaps because of this, they looked like they were looking at each other affectionately, and their postures were intimate and familiar.

Kyle: "..."
Why do I always feel a bit familiar?
