Chapter 1636 Rogue Trader
Clermont family, a Rogue Trader family that appeared in the middle of the Empire's Great Crusade, has a trade certificate signed and issued by the emperor himself (this thing is very powerful, sometimes it can even be used as a trader's certificate) Death-free gold), is also one of the five giants of the Noble Council, owns the second largest trade fleet in the Maelstrom, and has a deep relationship with the forging world Angstrom.
However, their patriarch died for some reason five years ago, leaving only a 25-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. Then the family broke out in civil strife due to inheritance issues. Sillu, who was only 25 years old at the time, Clermont used his father's hidden power to smash the rebels with thunder, and refused the position of patriarch and business certificate, giving it to his younger brother and declaring himself to be the governor of the family until the younger brother came of age.
Because during the process of suppressing the rebellion, she threw her biological uncle into the icehouse and turned it into an ice sculpture and then placed it in the family hall to shock others. She was called the Ice Queen and had many suitors, but In order to assist her brother, she even turned down her original engagement, and seemed to have the intention of never marrying for the rest of her life.
Now the Ice Queen is standing gracefully by the railing of the box. This is the first time for Arni to see her at such a close distance.
Many poets describe her as a woman carved from ice and starlight, with an indifferent heart to match. Her skin is smooth and white in the sun, and indeed has the texture of ice crystals. At the same time, her left eye is An expensive bionic organ studded with expensive gems, which looks like a silver snowflake, replaced her original eyeball that was damaged during the family strife. Coupled with her charming face and tall figure of nearly 1.9 meters, it is even more... There is an awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament.
At the same time, she also has rare silver hair, which is combed back from her forehead into a series of delicate braids, hanging down to her back, mixed with electronic ropes, and the long skirt she wears is made of The family's icy blue and white decoration, the opening on the side of the skirt reveals a little bit of fair skin at the base of the thigh, which makes people think a lot. The legs wrapped in light blue translucent silk suspenders are paired with a pair of ice-like texture. Crystal high heels reveal a fiery temptation in the cold.
At this time, she was placing her hands on the railing in front of her. Her slender and elegant arms were paired with gorgeous bracelets with built-in jewelry, making her look lazy and noble.
Standing beside her were five family guards, as well as several other extraordinary figures, including the Mechanic-Priest bearing the symbol of the forging world Angstrom.
In fact, each of the Big Five has built an independent box, but Arni doesn't want to be crowded with those at home. He would rather stay down there alone.
However, his calculation was quickly shattered -
"Master, I want you to come over immediately!"
"Just say that I have something to do!"
"Master ...The master said that if you don't go, we will have to tie you up and carry you over..."
Amid Igli Madden's laughter, the helpless Arni and his entourage climbed up the steps.
However, as soon as he arrived at the box, he was immediately dumbfounded by a person inside.
His fiancée Danica Werner is actually here too!
"Danica"
Arnie did not show his surprise, but walked into the box calmly and gracefully.
“It’s such a pleasure to meet you.”
Danica Werner nodded slightly and smiled implicitly at him.
"I'm very happy too, this is a memorable moment."
"Morales, I told you to stay away from those bad friends, and the Madden family's little dog It's not good for you to be a beast among everything."
Hearing the serious voice of his father, Bornhard Morales, Arni Morales turned around helplessly and bowed slightly.
“I understand, Father.”
Old Bornhard, who was wearing a dark blue Guards uniform, looked at his son and blew his beard angrily. Because his father was once a major general of the Astra Militarum, he still had the rank of colonel of the Astra Militarum. In fact, he even had the rank of colonel. Arni Morales holds an officer title, but he has never been to a military camp.
"You said you knew it every time! You just knew it!"
"Okay, Danica is still here."
It was the right thing to say. The mother of Arni Morales, this noble lady is wearing a gorgeous blue dress, with a long bun and a white gauze crown. She is sitting on a red chair with her hands clasped together, looking very noble. . After hearing his wife's words, the elder Bornhard finally interrupted his son's oral education.
"Danica, come, sit next to me."
Then the lady smiled tenderly and stretched out her hand to Danica.
"Thank you, madam."
The girl nodded meekly, came to the chair on the left side of the other party and sat down carefully.
Arni Morales raised his legs and was about to walk towards a chair against the wall, but his father immediately grabbed his arm.
"Where to go! Sit over there!"
Old Bernhard was pointing to the position on Danica's left. Although Arni was helpless, he had no choice but to sit down. With his fiancée beside him and his father sitting on his mother's right, other family members in the box were whispering and even laughing.
Arnie, who was becoming more and more agitated, had to call for a servant carrying a wine flask and a wine glass, and asked him to pour a glass of ice-cold wine.
But as soon as he raised his glass, he heard a soft and gentle word coming from beside him.
“Wine is poison to the soul, faith is the remedy for the spirit.”
This made Arni's glass that was holding it in mid-empty suddenly freeze.
Before he could make any move, he heard his mother's voice.
"Look, my child, Danica is so virtuous. She is worried about your body and spirit even before you get married."
Then there is his father.
“You brat, you are surrounded by blessings all day long and don’t know how to be blessed!”
Arni took a deep breath, finally put the wine glass back on the waiter's tray, and then waved his hand vigorously to drive away the waiter.
Then he tilted his body to the left, away from his fiancée, and supported his head with his fists, staring blankly at the empty square, while a thought kept spinning in his mind——
If he had become a space warrior, wouldn't he have to endure such a marriage and family?
Even if he died on the operating table, it would be better than this.
Suddenly, a roar came from a distant place above his head. Arni's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up from the chair, then walked to the edge of the box, stretched out his head and looked at the sky.
He has paid close attention to everything about Space Marines since he was a child, and he immediately recognized the huge roaring aircraft -
Thunderhawk!
The Space Marines are coming!
They are all black, with a streak of dark green on the edge of their wings, like the color of an ancient forest. They are not only arranged in an array, but also maintain perfect aerial synchronization as they descend.
Then the military band on the ground began to play, and the roaring Thunderhawks landed in batches of four, perching on one side of the square in perfect sequence, followed by the second batch, and the third batch. They set off The roar of the air completely drowned out the shriek of the band's trumpets.
