Meanwhile, on the other side,
The entourage stood in the hall, watching the family drama unfold, everyone whispering.
Reinhard, Siegfried, and Yang Weili were currently searching the hall for Commissar Cain.
Seeing the three searching for Cain, Calgar, who was part of the entourage, quietly prompted, "Uh, Commissar Cain and Inquisitor Amberly went to the restroom."
Siegfried and Yang Weili immediately understood and nodded.
However, Reinhard hadn't reacted yet and asked doubtfully, "Why did two people go to the restroom together? Did they eat something bad?"
On the other side, Fides stood rooted, watching Sanguinius in Li Feng's arms in the distance, and Miss Sanguinius, surrounded by the Emperor's children...
Even if she was slow, she now understood everything.
Why Li Feng became a "Prince", why Miss Sanguinius was always accompanied by Custodes wherever she went, why those Emperor's children were so afraid of Miss Sanguinius...
The Emperor was a woman... and Li Feng was the Emperor's "Empress"...
Eliette noticed that the "white-haired ape" beside her had stopped moving, and she gently poked Fides with her elbow.
"What's wrong?"
Fides stammered in a low whisper to herself, "Miss Sanguinius... is the Emperor..."
Eliette's pretty Aeldari eyebrows immediately furrowed, a look of confusion on her face:
"Yes, didn't you know? I thought you knew."
Fides froze, she suddenly turned to stare at Eliette, her expression as if struck by lightning: "You knew all along?!"
Eliette blinked, a self-evident expression on her face: "Of course. Everyone knows, whether it's those three little officers over there, or the captain and first mate on the battleship... everyone has an unspoken understanding."
Fides opened her mouth, unsure how to react for a moment.
She considered herself to understand Li Feng very well, yet even this pointy-eared person knew such a shocking secret before her?!
Her worldview at this moment seemed to have been violently struck by the Emperor's thunder.
On the other side, Calgar looked at Fides' expression, sighed slightly, and patted her shoulder: "Sisters of Battle, welcome to our'secret club'. Don't worry, you're not the first, and you won't be the last."
Hearing the key phrase, Reinhard instantly turned and stared at Calgar.
Calgar was startled by the Primarch's gaze, then three large hands rested on his shoulder pad, and he turned to look... it was Azrael, Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai, and Zahariel...
"No secrets..."
Fides' mouth twitched, and she looked at the center of the hall with a complex gaze.
There, Li Feng was holding the shota version of Sanguinius, with a loving expression.
And Sanguinius smiled sweetly, looking at Fides out of the corner of her eye, her gaze full of a "victory is assured" look, as if she had long known that someone would be greatly shocked upon learning the truth today.
Just as Fides was trying to calm herself down, preparing to go and apologize to Miss Sanguinius.
Two sets of footsteps came from the corridor in the direction of the restroom.
Immediately after, Commissar Cain and Inquisitor Amberly walked out one after the other.
Cain was tidying his uniform, sighing with a weary expression, while Amberly had a faint smile on her lips, carrying a certain "Inquisitorial satisfaction."
Siegfried and Yang Weili immediately shut up, pretending not to have seen anything, while Reinhard was still puzzled: "So what exactly are they two..."
Siegfried pressed Reinhard's shoulder and smiled: "We are still young, you will know everything when you grow up."
It wasn't just Fides who was shocked, but also Huron, who was dressed like he was on a runway today.
Huron was wearing his power armour today, with pure gold Ultramarines U-shaped insignias and Astral Claws insignias on both shoulder pads.
His power armour was covered with various ribbons and purity seals, and his helmet even had a pure silver Governor of Badab wreath.
But... "Sister-in-law is..."
Huron's voice caught in his throat, as if his vocal cords had also suffered some kind of mental shock and couldn't function smoothly.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Li Feng and Sanguinius, his expression more shocked than seeing a Tyranids / Tyranid hive ship descend from the sky.
His hand involuntarily touched the golden U-shaped insignia and the Astral Claws insignia on his shoulder pad, as if trying to find some sense of reality from these symbols of honor, to confirm that he wasn't dreaming.
However, no matter what, he couldn't deny the truth revealed by the scene before him.
"Sister-in-law is... the Emperor?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to freeze for a second, and then a subtle sense of awkwardness quickly spread.
Calgar, standing nearby, suddenly turned to look at Huron, a subtle expression flashing across his face: "...Could you repeat that?"
Huron's mouth twitched, seemingly not having fully processed the information, and he mechanically repeated: "Sister-in-law... is... the Emperor? Big Brother... is... the Empress..."
Some people in the hall couldn't help but gasp, while others had an expression of "finally someone said it out loud."
And Fides, upon hearing these words, her eyelid twitched slightly, then she lowered her head.
Just then, Sanguinius smiled slightly and slowly walked forward, her gaze with a hint of playfulness falling on Huron.
Calgar, Huron, and all the Astartes immediately knelt on one knee, lowering their heads...
"Any objections?"
These four words seemed to carry a certain "Inquisitorial" pressure, making Huron instinctively stand straight, the servo motors of his power armour emitting a faint hum.
His mouth twitched, and a few beads of sweat even seeped from his forehead.
"Your Majesty... uh... no, no objections." Huron pulled a smile that was uglier than crying, "Sister-in-law... whatever sister-in-law says, it is."
Calgar, at this moment, glanced sideways at Huron, who was kneeling just like him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly... "Hiss... still daring to call her sister-in-law now..."
Sanguinius nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Feng, a meaningful smile on her face.
Li Feng, on the other hand, sighed expressionlessly, seemingly having given up struggling and resignedly accepting the title.
And Sanguinius, standing nearby, watched this scene, a smile flashing across his lips, and he looked up at Li Feng, tilting his head, and asked innocently:
"Papa, that child of Guilliman calls Mama'sister-in-law'... Doesn't that mean we all have to call him uncle? Can I call him uncle?"
The air in the hall instantly solidified again.
Reinhard, Perturabo, Chagatai, Russ, Dorn, Konrad Curze, Magnus... these Primarchs immediately looked at Huron, who was kneeling there, with "ready to kill" eyes...
Li Feng: "..."
Calgar: "..."
Huron: "..."
All Astartes: "..."
Fides (mentally collapsing): "..."
Sanguinius sighed: "Alas... I didn't expect this child to be so manipulative..."
