The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Chapter 11

　☆☆Chapter 11 – The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Is Going To Elope (Part 1)☆☆

Chapter 11 – Everyone is a Chess Piece in Joshua’s Hand.

　　The communicators were collected upon entering the wedding venue. According to Victoria’s plan, Glenn needed to arrive at the location agreed upon with Victoria within an hour.

　　Her Royal Highness the Princess requested that Joshua be abducted, but Glenn obviously had no intention of doing so.

　　He retrieved the diamond dagger from Joshua’s sleeve and cut a deep gash on his palm. Blood gushed out quickly and was squeezed regularly onto the blond young man’s white wedding gown.

　　Now the unpleasant smell of Theresa’s cigarette smoke had finally been covered up, Glenn thought with satisfaction.

　　”Remember what I said? You don’t have to make any sacrifices, including risking your life.”

　　He pinched the young man’s strong chin and shook it, then went back into the secret passage and pulled down the exit gate.

　　——Because of this unexpected hypocrisy of Joshua, the “Mr. Sword and Shield” of the Imperial Crown Prince had to speed up.

　　•=|=•

　　Soon after pretending to collude with Victoria, Glenn was surprised to learn that this complex network of secret passages, like an underground maze, had been built at the beginning of the founding of Fran and had a history of nearly a thousand years.

　　Due to the poor construction technology in the early years, some of the secret passages were too shallow to the ground, and were destroyed when large buildings were built and optical cables were buried. The once unique fortifications gradually became “foundation destroyers”, and the only complete map was stored in the palace study and shelved until Victoria accidentally saw it and copied it.

　　Her Royal Highness, who was hell bent on revenge against the Gustav family, had been planning for many years. She renovated the most complete section of the fortifications in the north of the city and explored several passages leading directly to the palace and outside the city, making it an important part of the plan.

　　She bought the Forest Café, reorganized the power and water supply systems of some secret passages, built a glass greenhouse in the north of the city, privately bribed the nobles and palace guards, and arranged countless details.

　　Uncoincidentally, there is also a glass greenhouse in the palace garden, which lead Glenn and Joshua to find several other exits that were renovated by Victoria. They even secretly arrested several gardeners in the palace.

　　A strong and healthy Alpha gardener.

　　If it weren’t for the emotional entanglements between Glenn and Joshua in the eyes of outsiders, Glenn believed that Victoria might use the power in her hands to plan an assassination.

　　She was familiar with the terrain, bribed countless people, and might have even infiltrated the iron-clad military headquarters.

　　The Imperial Admiral had more confidence in the situation he could control.

　　He and Joshua took advantage of the situation and heated up the already boiling public opinion, playing a pair of lovers who were at odds with each other. Joshua was responsible for showing off the affection and the bad man character, while Glenn was responsible for the bitter drama of love turning into hate.

　　Getting engaged with Theresa who was their friend only made the scene more realistic.

　　Victoria’s upbringing had made her suspicious and she was used to relying on her own judgment. She was misled by Glenn and Joshua and got deeper and deeper into this muddy water.

　　The only thing Glenn didn’t expect was that the muddy water chosen by Victoria was actually cooperating with the interstellar pirates of Jinlu Star, intending to destroy the power and glory of the Gustav family overnight.

　　Glenn is the type of person who appeared cold on the outside but is actually warm-hearted. He sympathized with Victoria’s situation, but could not forgive her betrayal of her country and companions.

　　As a member of the royal family, it was unforgivable to lead the entire country into chaos due to one’s own selfish desires, no matter what the reasons are.

　　He risked being suspected and used the code that had worked on Gulang Star in the past to communicate with Joshua remotely, step by step entering the trap set for him by Victoria.

　　He was engaged to Victoria, attended parties hand in hand, and even met Gray Pigeons together.

　　Meanwhile, he and Joshua become estranged, they clashed, and then broke up at a dinner party.

　　With the illusion of being stuck in a quagmire, Glenn obtained more and more intelligence. Before long, the empire’s most strategic Admiral and the Crown Prince who was most adept at judging the situation had figured out the princess’s conspiracy.

　　One day shortly after meeting Gray Pigeons, Glenn was in the dark room of the military office.

　　”Joshua, are you sure you want to do this?”

　　Glenn’s expression was not very good, and he obviously disagreed.

　　”This is the best way,” the blond young man smiled, “The person she wants to take revenge on the most is me. My presence can make her lose her mind. We can plan the actions of the Legion in advance, just like the Battle of Ateneus, and leave the rest to Ke Xi.”

　　”Objection. I am enough to be the traitor in this. Victoria may lose control of her emotions when facing you. If she wants to attack you directly, the situation will become very troublesome.”

　　”But we still have you,” Joshua spread his hands indifferently, “You will protect me, right, Admiral Glenn?”

　　”Yes.” Glenn nodded without hesitation and said, “If this is your plan, I need all the steps and details to convince me.”

　　”I will.” Joshua nodded slowly.

　　The Admiral had long ago accepted the fact that the young man he had watched grow up was a scheming boy. However, after reading the investigation report and action plan written by Joshua in detail, Glenn still inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness as if his child had grown up in a wrong direction.

　　Soon after Joshua came of age, he became one of the generals that the House galaxy least wanted to fight against, with Glenn himself being the first and the Crown Prince probably being second.

　　He is good at analyzing the psychology of enemy strategists and soldiers, and specifically targeting their weaknesses and pain points. He is a true psychological warfare expert.

　　At 27, Joshua is even better than he was back then.

　　”Admiral Miranda has a pure personality and is not suitable for co-implementing the plan. It is recommended that he act out his true feelings. Sir Nicholas is old and stubborn, which will hinder the implementation of the subsequent plan. It is recommended that he will be hospitalized for treatment due to high blood pressure instead…”

　　——Everyone is a chess piece in Joshua’s hand. This is Joshua’s script.

　　Admiral Glenn swallowed a few sips of the coffee that the butler brought him, and felt a sense of loss in his heart:

　　‘Joshua, you weren’t like this before.’

　　‘You used to be very arrogant, cute, innocent and clingy to me.’

　　‘You are no longer the little boy in the woods clamoring to eat the wood rabbit meat.’

　　‘But…well, it’s fine this way now.’

　　Glenn accepted Joshua’s proposal and request.

　　Unfortunately, three years of peace seemed to have made the young crown prince forget that this was Glenn Sasir, the absolute dictator on the battlefield, and his world would never be just Plan.A.

　　The exit Glenn chose was the least conspicuous among the many exits in the secret passage. It was close to His Majesty’s bedroom and there were no disturbing surveillance equipment nearby, which created conditions for him to escape alone.

　　He found a new communicator and two sets of inconspicuous casual clothes near the originally planned tunnel exit – one for men and one for oversized women.

　　Thumbs up for Victoria’s creative ideas.

　　The Admiral’s head was covered with black lines, and he wrapped the bleeding wound on his left hand with the silk scarf that came with his women’s clothing.

　　•=|=•

　　The people sent by Victoria were waiting in an alley in the south of the city, enough time for Glenn to arrive on time.

　　Several men in black were surprised to see Glenn coming alone, and they quietly sent a message to Boss. When they got into the hovercraft, Victoria’s video call had already been dialed into Glenn’s new communicator.

　　”Admiral, did you fail to complete your mission?” Victoria asked in a cold tone.

　　”Heh,” Glenn smiled palely and moved his injured fingers in front of the screen, “Do you think Joshua is a house cat?”

　　”My brother is indeed a cheetah, but you should be a lion.”

　　Glenn lowered his head, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and his whole temperament was extremely gloomy. The man in black beside him was affected by the strong, wet and fishy smell and opened the car window unbearably.

　　Victoria’s heartstrings moved, she raised her thin eyebrows and asked hesitantly: “What happened?”

　　”I hurt him,” Glenn raised his chin, his black pupils were bloodshot, and his words were pronounced clearly, “I… stabbed him with my own hands.”

　　”……”

　　Victoria had dozens of guesses in her mind, which made her feel happy, but she couldn’t ask any more questions for the moment, so she softened her expression and said calmly, “Come back first, the starship sent by Gray Pigeon has arrived, and we have to set sail as soon as possible.”

　　Glenn didn’t say anything else. He looked a little upset. The two of them hung up the video call soon after.

　　Victoria sat at the table in silence for a while, then rang the silver bell on the table and called the coffee shop waitress whom Glenn had met once.

　　The other party was now dressed in a neat tight leather suit and looked very respectful.

　　”Your Highness.”

　　Victoria smiled softly, “It’s time to change your name. Call me Master from now on.”

　　”Yes, Master.”

　　The waiter didn’t look up, her eyes fixed on the tips of her shoes.

　　”Go and get Captain White, quickly.” Victoria stroked the obsidian ring on her thumb, hatred and attachment intertwined in her eyes, “I need him to do something.”
