Chapter Text
Starscream rode an ashva and slowly stepped onto the drawbridge overhanging the moat.
He had brought back armor for the Decepticons to use for the next season, but no one had come out to welcome him, and Blitzwing, the only one standing at the gates waiting for him, hadn't come to praise the results of his efforts - Blitzwing was the servant who managed the ashva's premises, and every ashva in the castle was the property of Lord Megatron, and Starscream had merely been given the temporary use, and as soon as he returned with his goods, Blitzwing would appear to take his ashva away.
"Hey, can't you wait until I get my stuff back before you take it away?"
Starscream watched as Blitzwing removed the armor from the ashva, all the ashva were close to Lightning as he was their caretaker, such had been the case even before Starscream pledged his allegiance to Megatron, Blitzwing seemed to have done this job all his life and only had the momentum to continue doing it in the future - Starscream took pity on him.
After all, even regular Decepticons rarely do such a menial job for so long, and even though they hadn't been at war with the Autobots for a while, Blitzwing had never once gone to war as far back as Starscream could remember; the poor mechs processor was damaged and he suffered from a split personality, and Megatron sent him off with this kind of drudgery.
What a heartless monarch, Starscream thought; Blitzwing wasn't a genius, but he wasn't totally useless, either.
Blitzwing quietly stowed his armor and fed the ashva with cut up energy candy bars, which took one sniff of him and circled him affectionately before allowing the caretaker to take his own reins.
Starscream followed, not really needing to deliver the goods himself, but he didn't want to meet Megatron, and since Blitzwing had taken his ashva - yes, Starscream's ashva, though owned by Megatron, Starscream was sure he'd get it one day, and had even named it - away, perhaps he'd be able to get it back. named it - away, perhaps he could follow it up and drop by the ashva's premises for a while, in any case just find any excuse to avoid going to see his monarch.
"Why would Meg want to listen to you? With that candy bar?"
"It's more than that, I've fed it dozens of replacement cycles of energy candy like that." Blitzwing replied, gently petting the ashva, "And this is Flap Sixteen, stop calling it Meg, Lord Megatron will punish you with confinement if he finds out."
Starscream shrugged with concern, his attitude towards Megatron was completely different from that of the other Decepticons, the others - like Blitzwing - were always obsequious, as Megatron was the leader who had led them in their battle against the Autobots so far, as well as being known as the Cosmic Emperor's reincarnation, and to them, he is the Decepticons' spiritual and material monarch.
However, Starscream doesn't believe in that, and he has about as much respect for Megatron as he does for Mass - some, but not much, and exactly how much depends on his mood.
"I'd be happy for him to lock me up instead of making me pick up some Autobot hostage." Starscream grumbled as they got closer to the premises, Blitzwing had begun to unhitch Meg as they walked, the large ashva still following Blitzwing docilely, even unencumbered, but when Starscream tried to pet him on the back he let out a hiss before running towards the premises, "Hey! He's been acting up against me lately!"
Before responding to Starscream, Blitzwings face-plate suddenly begins to twitch before his expression rapidly changes and when he speaks again his voice sounds foolish in a way that is very different from the calmness he had just displayed, this somewhat sluggish Blitzwing asks slowly, "What's an Autobot hostage? Isn't that Lord Megatron's fiancée?" After saying this he changed his face again, the corners of his mouth grinning to a frightening degree, "An Autobot gift!"
Starscream was not surprised by Blitzwing's intermittent instability, and he didn't immediately duck when the other man came up to him with a playful grin, "They're sending a little Autobot over! If Lord Megatron gets tired of playing with him, we'll take him for stew, hahahahahaha."
"Don't even think about it Blitzwing. After Megazarak, we abolished cannibalism of the same kind, even for Autobots."
Starscream snapped, pushing Blitzwing away. However, after the other's reminder, he did start to take an interest in that so-called fiancée, the Autobots had sent many exotic treasures in the past to try to ease the relationship between the two races - because since Megatron had taken the position as the leader of the Decepticons, the Decepticons' and Autobots' birth rates had begun to decrease continuously, the Decepticons here could still rely on the advantages of military products to maintain the original productivity, but the Autobots side is clearly appearing tired, the society is progressing rapidly, the labor force available for production is insufficient, coupled with the Autobot leader, Ultra Magnus and the Church's relationship has been not too harmonious, the advantage of the Decepticons at once revealed, and the balance between the two sides and thus was broken.
When Starscream learned that a fiancée had been sent from the Autobot side, he hadn't even returned to Kaon yet, and the servant who delivered the message had already told him of Megatron's decision to choose him to meet the bride. He was taken aback at the moment and immediately suspected that Megatron was senile, leaving an Autobot time bomb in the Decepticon's royal capital? No, a bomb in a gift box could also collapse the old thing's brain module.
Starscream may have wanted Megatron to toss himself to his death, but giving that opportunity to the Autobots? Absolutely not.
Blitzwing returned to normal during his lull in thought, and Starscream took the opportunity to come up next to the other man and lower his voice to inquire, "What's Megatron's stance on that Autobot thing?"
"You might want to think about how you're going to explain why you were there so late when you go to meet Lord Megatron later." Blitzwing glanced at the seeker and reached out to pull back the guardrail of the premises. Meg had already crossed the diminutive guardrail herself back to her favorite place to stay and when she saw Blitzwing come in she tilted her head back and made a pleasurable noise, her hooves rustling on the soft metal shavings, Blitzwing smiled at her then went to turn on the switch to the sink, "But, if you've treated Lord Megatron with a little more respect, maybe the Lord wouldn't have skipped you when choosing the new recruit sergeant this Mega-Cycle."
Training new recruits was a beautiful job among Decepticon knights, because you didn't have to carry bad weather across the border, and your salary would be double that of other knights of the same rank - and most importantly, you could take your temper out on the unlucky new recruits and still enjoy their service. Starscream was quite jealous of such an errand, and Megatron was bound to know this, but the latter still ignored him when choosing sergeants, and routinely left him with the task of procurement.
--Naturally, Starscream complained about Megatron's unfairness when confronted by Blitzwing, but he held his glossa. However, he usually did well in purchasing, as a natural merchant, Starscream had already accumulated his own connections, on one hand he could buy twice as much stuff at half the price; on the other hand he would also run his own small business, which had accumulated a wealth no less than that of an ordinary lord, but he still didn't have half of the territory to himself! --Thanks to the petty, sinister Megatron.
Therefore, regarding Blitzwing's reminder, Starscream just put on a disinterested attitude and replied: ''He won't ask me, Megatron is too lazy to inquire about what I've done, and anyway, no matter what good or bad things I've done, it's all the same to him - I've long since passed the age of believing that military service can elevate one's status...'' Blitzwing, even if I had Megatron's favor, so what? That stupid nut will still despise me, and he'll always be Megatron's best man, even if he can't do anything right."
"You don't get Lord Megatron's attention because you're not truly loyal to him, Starscream. You'd rather pass the time here than see him now!"
Blitzwing suddenly switched personalities and cackled, he always shifted so suddenly and in this unstable state he was always laughing, any thing was a point to draw a laugh out of him, like right now he was looking at Starscream and laughing his ass off.
"Lord Megatron will never give you what you want, Starscream!"
Blitzwing's words were largely untrustworthy when he was having an attack of insanity, but Starscream narrowed his optics anyway, nothing against Blitzwing, it was just that when he thought about the way Megatron usually looked at him, an unnamed fire raced straight from his embers to his processor, and with Lightning still grinning he took advantage of the situation, "Shut up, stupid Blitzwing! And don't even think about who helped you out when those Megatron's own guards came after you? You ungrateful bastard!"
The laughter stopped, and Blitzwing's expression began to freeze, his damned problem having no warning at all, and now his hand rested on the sink's switch, his optics froze as he stared at Starscream.
"Don't you, don't you look at me like that." Starsceam, a little angry and a little overwhelmed, shoved Blitzwing's shoulder, which brought the latter back to normal, quickly closing the still bubbling spout, "You have to trust Lord Megatron for what he is, he was a Low-ranked Knight once wasn't he? You'll get your chance, Starscream."
Starscream glanced suspiciously at Blitzwing, disbelief written all over his face, "Don't talk as if you know much about him, you're not even a Knight, Blitzwing. Megatron may indeed have been a Low Knight at one time, but that doesn't mean that he's going to have much sympathy for me, and I don't need any of that, I'm not like those stupid Decepticon Knights, I have my quest-never mind, you wouldn't understand if I told you."
Starscream stopped paying attention to Lightning when he finished speaking, and instead stood up to one of the windows of the premises to look out of the window - the scenery of Kaon wasn't very good, the Desert and various abandoned castles eroded beyond recognition by the wind, sand and acidic rain were the only features of this place, and Starscream looked out at these uniform and endless deserts, with Blitzwing beside him as he doing his job, while he was immersed in his own world.
Suddenly Starscream yelped and jumped.
"What's wrong?" The caretaker looked up from his work of sorting through the metal shavings inside the guardrail, where Starscream was screaming and heading outside.
"I forgot! I forgot! I'm going to find Megatron! Damn it! What time is it now? My Unicron, that tyrant will kill me!"
"Lord Megatron wouldn't do that, Starscream, but you really need to hurry up."
"You don't have to say it, Blitzwing!"
Starscream complained and rushed out of the house. He ran so fast that he almost broke the guardrail. Blitzwing looked at the knocked out screws with a headache. Starscream would not admit his mistakes later, he could only find a way by himself. Fixed.
Starscream asked Megatron for an entire team of followers, and he got five.
"It's nothing important, Starscream."
His king said that as Megatron was sitting on the throne and looking down at Starscream who was kneeling on the ground. He did not ask the reason for Starscream's delay, but he expressed his dissatisfaction on other things - such as asking about the belt. How much money was spent on the trade, such as questioning the quality of the armor Starscream brought back, although Starscream answered fluently, but answering these questions was enough to make the latter dissatisfied for a long time.
In short, Starscream only got five followers and six ashva in the end. Before leaving, he went to find Blitzwing again, who helped him get Meg - "It's Flap Sixteen." Blitzwing patiently corrected him - out.
The ashva, who was about to take a rest, showed resistance when he saw Starscream, but Starscream reluctantly appeased him with a whole bag of energy candies. Forget about being wronged by Megatron, now he even rides him most often. Even Ashva would give him a hard time. Sure enough, he was born with a problem with the name Meg. Although the name of Flap No. 16 was changed to humiliate Megatron, the effect was obviously not good.
Starscream jumped up and mounted Ashva, and the other five servants were also ready to go. Their target was an inn on the outskirts of Caron City. It was said that the future lord's wife sent by the Autobots had settled at the inn the day before.
He couldn't wait to meet the so-called "Megatron's fiancée". On the way, Starscream even prayed viciously in his heart that the little Autobot would be hideous, wishing to see Megatron's face when he saw an ugly face.
"And I could laugh at him for at least ten mega-cycles about this, haha! Megatron's mate is an ugly monster, and then they make a little monster together."
The more Starscream thought about it, the happier he became. He probably forgot that everything was just his own imagination, and began to throw his head back and laugh. The exaggerated laughter frightened the Autobot messengers who came out to greet them.
Fortunately, Starscream didn't lose the most basic etiquette because of this thought. When he rode Ashva to the Autobot messenger, he still got off Ashva's back out of courtesy and bowed to the leading Autobot. He bowed and the other party responded to him.
"Oh, look, respected Autobot messengers, where is the bride of our king?"
Optimus Prime was dressed neatly with the help of the servants, and finally a veil made of gold wire - this is the custom of the Autobots. No one can see the face of the bride before the wedding night. His appearance can only be left to the one who would have him - that was Megatron, the Emperor of the Decepticons, his future husband.
In many absurd Autobot stories, there are often examples of Decepticons eating Autobots. Among them, Megatron even had three protoforms in one meal. Although reason tells Optimus Prime that this is just a joke to deceive the larvae, he will still feel fear when he embarks on the journey to Kaon, especially now that he is sitting in the room of the inn, and some of the Autobot messengers have already Going out to meet the Decepticon wedding team, he was so close to his childhood shadow, but he couldn't see them because the door was closed.
"Please come out, Your Highness, the handover ceremony is about to end."
Optimus Prime nodded slightly and stood up slowly. He was still a little nervous, and even almost stumbled when he walked out of the door, but a hand held him before his veil slipped, and he quickly stood up He stood up and said, "Thank you."
"You look so small, little Autobot."
Optimus Prime raised his head, and he could vaguely see a tall figure through the veil. The other was a Decepticon. He subconsciously took a step back and made a defensive move. As a result, he was laughed at by the Decepticons around him. The Decepticon in front of him, who was obviously the leader, took a step forward and came to him, "Are you scared, doll?"
This was a provocation. Optimus Prime did not expect that as envoys, these Decepticons would be so rude. His fellow Autobots had already left, leaving only two large mechas responsible for his next journey - and Decepticons. Unlike them, Autobots do not choose Ashva to travel, and nobles prefer to find some suitable King Kong as a means of transportation at the bottom. The two mechas were not qualified to participate in their conversation, so when Optimus Prime was insulted, he had to find his own solution.
"I'm not afraid of you, Decepticons."
Optimus Prime raised his head. He was a nobleman and had been educated by the church, so he knew and was proficient in the etiquette of all Autobots. He raised his voice at the leading Decepticon.
"May I have your name?"
The Decepticon was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised. However, he did not answer Optimus Prime's question immediately. Instead, he waited until Optimus Prime coughed twice to remind him, and then the Decepticon replied as if he had just woken up from a dream. He came to his senses: "Why should I tell you my name, Autobot? You don't know. The knight's name represents his dignity. Only when you are recognized can you deserve to know my name, but I don't think you are worthy of knowing it now." Own it."
Optimus Prime straightened his chest and put on a noble posture and spoke slowly: "Because I am your king's future partner, my orders are equivalent to your king's orders. If you disobey me, you are questioning your king ."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others looked at each other. Although in the eyes of most Decepticons, this Autobot was just another flashy gift, in any case, even for the sake of the Autobots, Megatron Nor would he allow his fiancée—and soon his wife—to be humiliated in any way, especially when those humiliations came from a Decepticon Knight.
The Decepticon who took the lead in mocking Optimus Prime was also stunned. Perhaps he did not expect that Optimus Prime would have the courage to argue with him, or perhaps he was stunned by the question. Anyway, he stood speechless.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Optimus Prime hid his victorious smile and decided to pursue the victory: "Where are your knightly etiquette, Decepticon? Is this how you entertain your future queen?"
The Decepticon gritted his teeth and glared at Optimus Prime fiercely, but in the end he did not let his anger overtake him. Instead, he slowly took a step back, knelt down on one knee and touched Optimus Prime's toes with his hand, replied "respectfully": "I am the knight of Kaon, Starscream, and I am here to greet you, your noble highness, on the order of the great Lord Megatron."
"Get up, Starscream. I won't hold you accountable for your rudeness this time." Optimus Prime put his hand on Starscream's shoulder as usual, and the proud knight stood up reluctantly, " Where are we going next?”
"Go straight back to the castle, Your Highness."
Optimus Prime nodded and asked casually, "Don't you need to go to the city?"
"That's the habit of the Autobots, Your Highness." Starscream replied, walking next to his ashva. He just waved slightly, and the ashva naturally lowered its head and waited for him to come up. Optimus Prime watched all this, couldn't help but feel a little surprised - there are also some wild ashva in the Autobots' territory, but they are very dangerous and even occasionally attack passing farmers. The nobles mostly keep them on hunting grounds. He has never seen such a docile ashva. , of course, it is also possible that he is not old enough.
Starscream had already mounted his ashva, but Optimus Prime was still in place, until the other party drove the ashva to his side, leaned over and asked him: "Aren't you coming up, Your Highness?"
"I, I can't ride this."
Optimus Prime awkwardly explained that he planned to stick to tradition, but Starscream reached out to stop him, and spoke with an uncontrollable smile in his voice: "Are you trying to disrespect the Decepticon customs, Your Highness? I thought you Autobots were all well-educated, but don’t you know that in Caron, you can only choose to walk or ride an ashva, and any behavior that regards other people as your own vehicles is barbaric in our opinion.”
Now it's Optimus Prime's turn to have nothing to say. Although he is an Autobot, doing as the Romans do is indeed the most basic respect for aliens. Besides, he came with the goodwill of the Autobots. If he refuses the knight here, Starscream, how should he explain it when he is in front of Megatron?
But he really can't ride an ashva.
Starscream clapped his hands, and a Decepticon attendant brought an ashva. It looked taller than Optimus Prime, and was a little wary when facing strangers. When Optimus Prime approached it, the ashva made a low sound. Low neighing. This situation made Optimus Prime a little overwhelmed. He was like an arrow on a bow, and Starscream was the one pulling the bow. He turned back to look at each other. This time, the Decepticons did not They were blatantly laughing at him again, but each of them stared directly at him, making him very uncomfortable.
"Hurry up, Your Highness, otherwise our king will be anxious," Starscream's smile did not fade away. He rode Ashva to Optimus Prime, "Won't you?"
Optimus Prime nodded humiliatingly, he didn't even know how to get up. The ashva looked so tall that if it moved while he was trying to climb up, he would fall off - the veil would fall off, and his appearance would be ruined before his wedding night. See, that's a shame in Autobot custom.
For the longer term benefit. Optimus thought that showing weakness to Starscream for a while was bearable.
"Please speak your mind, Your Highness, otherwise I won't know what you want to express."
Optimus Prime was furious at Starscream's words. It seemed that the knight was going to cause some trouble for himself today. Well, he would at least give the other party a lesson: "I order you to come down and help me, knight, but you Be careful not to take off my veil."
"What?!"
Starscream's face looked a little embarrassed. He probably wanted to see Optimus Prime pleading with him in a low voice, but unexpectedly the other party actually ordered him in return. The deflated knight looked around nervously, but no servant came up to help him.
These Decepticons also intended to watch the jokes of their companions. Optimus Prime thought in his heart, it seems that his words were successful, and he did win a round for himself.
Starscream reluctantly got off Ashva and walked to Optimus Prime. He stretched out one hand to grab the reins and pointed the other hand at the saddle on Ashva's back. Optimus Prime watched his movements and listened carefully. His explanation.
"You can climb up by stepping on this pedal like I just did. Don't worry, I will ensure that this guy won't move around - but you probably have to take off your veil, because the road will be very bumpy, even If you don’t pick it now, it will fall off later.”
"no!"
Optimus Prime immediately sternly rejected Starscream, and quickly slapped away the other person's hand that tried to touch his veil, "I can ride an ashva to the castle according to your customs, but you also have to respect my habits. My veil is only My fiancé can take it off.”
This refusal angered Starscream, and Optimus Prime could notice that the other person's hand holding the reins paused, and there was a hint of impatience in the tone of his next words. "The Decepticons don't have such a custom. Even if you take it off, no one will blame you. For your safety, I still recommend that you take it off."
Starscream's words were reasonable, but Optimus Prime still refused righteously: "No, this is an act of betrayal of the engagement. Help me up, knight. I will be responsible for anything that happens."
"Ha, okay."
Starscream hummed, pretending to be submissive, and stretched out his hand to help Optimus Prime get on Ashva.
But his hands were not honest. When Optimus Prime's other leg was about to cross Ashva's back and ride up, the knight suddenly let go of the reins, and the Ashva immediately took a step forward. As a result, Optimus Prime could not. He stood firm and fell backwards. Starscream took the opportunity to reach out and hold the young nobleman's waist to prevent him from falling, but the veil still fell off——
The new queen's optics was thus able to match Starscream's. Before, Optimus Prime could only vaguely see the outline of the opponent through the veil, and could not clearly see the knight's face, but now he can see it clearly, very clearly, clearly the fleeting blush on Starscream's faceplate.
——Optimus Prime panicked and grabbed the falling veil and covered it again. His fire frequency was several times higher than usual. It must be because he almost fell down just now.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Your Highness, I just accidentally-"
Starscream's voice was shaky, but his movements were unexpectedly fast, and he easily helped Optimus Prime sit on Ashva's back, without any drag at all.
"I-I don't blame you."
Optimus Prime replied nervously, his faceplate felt a little hot, and his fingers were trembling a little. The picture from a few seconds ago was still in his processor, and he would even think of Starscream whenever he closed his eyes. The look in his eyes - a little surprised, a little dumbfounded? When the other party looked at him, it seemed as if the fire had temporarily left the body, almost in an instant.
Fortunately none of the other Decepticons noticed.
When he was thinking wildly, Starscream's voice sounded again, this time it seemed much calmer, and it seemed that the other party had regained his composure: "Please sit on Ashva and don't move, it will take you on the road by itself... I'll be right next to you if you need it."
"... Good."
It took Optimus Prime a while to remember to answer. After hearing his answer, Starscream nodded and jumped onto his own ashva. There was an awkward silence in the air. The followers did not know what happened between them. What, but seeing that neither of them spoke, and the others did not dare to speak, the whole team embarked on the road back to the castle in this strange silence.
"Who are the people in the city? "
"I am Knight Starscream, escorting the bride here under your Majesty's order."
The soldiers guarding the city lowered the drawbridge, and Starscream walked at the front of the team to lead everyone into the castle. He had been distracted all the way, even into the city, and his monitor now showed the lingering visor of the Autobot Bride - why did Megatron have such good luck? The Autobots are too cheap of that stingy tyrant. There are so many nobles in this world, and there are also many ugly ones. Why did you choose just this one?
'Although I don’t have a very good temper, what can I say about this mask?' When Starscream thought that such a bargain would eventually fall into Megatron's mouth, a new one was added to his processor that was already full of resentment towards Megatron.
They went to the palace in the castle together. On the way, he occasionally looked back, and the little Autobot was looking around. He was obviously very young, and the so-called sophistication was just an act. Starscream has also been to the territory of the Autobots in the past. Because of some business matters, he knows the nobles of the Autobots. They are not as warlike as the Decepticons. Most of them are docile guys, even some pedantic. They like to hide. Occasionally, there are some banquets held in his castle, and the only outdoor sport is hunting in the forest of the territory.
The Autobot behind him must have come from that kind of life, so it is inevitable that he will be curious about Charon's new things.
The other Decepticon knights were already waiting at the entrance of the palace, and Starscream got off Meg as they were about to arrive.
"You are moving too slowly, Starscream, His Majesty has been waiting for you for too long."
"Save it, Lugnut, Lord Megatron won't die if you wait for a while. The Emperor of the Universe is above us, and our king is prosperous and prosperous."
Starscream responded to Lugnut in a pretentious manner. The other party raised his fist to warn him not to be disrespectful, but Starscream nimbly dodged his fist and said, "My dear Lugnut, you have to be careful. Our queen is right here, and the Autobot's small frame cannot withstand a casual punch like yours."
After being reminded by Starscream, Lugnut noticed the little Autobot who came in behind Starscream, curled his lips and got out of the way. Starscream watched Lugut obediently step aside, and he was immediately very proud. He took the Autobot's hand - oh, his hands were so small. Starscream thought in his mind - leading the other party into the hall like a truly conscientious knight.
Megatron was sitting on the throne, and their arrival did not bring any changes to this serious king.
"Your Majesty, your knight, Starscream salutes you." Starscream pretended to salute Megatron, who didn't even bother to lift his chin. Fortunately, Starscream didn't expect the other party to pay attention to him, so he secretly raised his chin. Looking at Megatron's expression with his own eyes, he saw that there was no change in the other person's faceplate, so he continued with confidence, "I brought you your bride."
Starscream let go of his hand. However, the little Autobot who was so arrogant at the inn now stood there blankly like lightning that had switched personalities. He quickly reached out and secretly pushed the other person from behind. He lowered his voice and reminded: "Go to the front." The other party then suddenly realized and took mechanical steps to the steps of the throne, but kept his head lowered the whole time, which was a bit weird.
Megatron didn't even look at the little Autobot, but held his helm with one hand and said casually: "What's your name?"
The voice carried an aura of calmness and authority. Megatron's deep voice echoed in the hall. The little Autobot's shoulders shook. The little mech probably had never seen such a serious occasion, and he was stunned for a while. Then he came back to his senses and said, voice trembling: "O-Optimus Prime."
Optimus Prime? Nice name.
Starscream thought in his spark, and at the same time he couldn't help but sympathize with Optimus Prime.
Megatron, the blind man, didn't know what to do on different occasions. Even if today was his wedding, this terrible emperor of destruction still showed off. He has a face that shows no emotion. Starscream almost spurned him, hoping that the poor little beauty wouldn't be frightened to the point where the processor went offline.
"Lugnut."
"I am here, the great and noble leader, Lord Megatron. I am your humblest servant. Whenever you need me -"
"Go and take off his veil."
The emperor looked a Lugnut impatiently and gave the order.
Lugnut bowed diligently, approached and reached out to grab Optimus Prime's veil. To most people's surprise, the latter dodged away, and all the attention in the main hall instantly stopped on the new bride. ——Only Starscream knew the reason why the other party did this, but he was also very surprised. After all, even he himself had never violated Megatron's will so openly.
This little Autobot is going to have a hard time.
Optimus Prime stared at Lugnut's hand hanging in the air, realizing that he had done something wrong. His hands clenched into fists by his side, shaking a little, but when Lugnut tried to pull his veil again, Optimus Prime froze in place and stammered, trying to stop: "Please, please don't do this."
"Are you going against the wishes of the great Lord Megatron, Autobot?"
Lugnut was a little unhappy. Optimus Prime looked so small standing in front of the mountain-like supervisor, but he still mustered up the courage to say in a voice that everyone could hear: "I came with the goodwill of the Autobots. According to our custom, only the groom can lift my veil."
Starscream noticed. After Optimus Prime finished speaking, he even raised his head to look at Megatron on the throne. Unfortunately, this little Autobot didn't know his future husband well enough.
"This is Kaon, Autobot, we don't have such a rule." Megatron said indifferently, winking at Lugnut, who immediately understood what he meant and leaned towards Optimus Prime again.
The poor, little Autobot.
Starscream secretly sympathized in his heart, but still stood there indifferently on the surface. When Optimus Prime hid behind him because he was afraid of Lugut, he was even a little angry, because doing so would undoubtedly bring him trouble.
He secretly reached out and pushed the other person forward, but the new lady's hand tightly grasped his arm and refused to let go, while Megatron observed all this.
"It seems like you have a good standing with him, Starscream."
The cold king commented, and there were even some fluctuations in his voice. It seemed that this farce did not make him feel worse, but instead aroused his interest. Starscream wanted to explain, but before he spoke, Megatron then continued, "Then it's up to you to lift his veil."
This put Starscream in a difficult position. He couldn't disobey Megatron's order, but when he lowered his head, he could see Optimus Prime's pleading eyes through the veil, which made him unable to be cruel.
"Sorry."
In the end, Starscream apologized to Optimus Prime in a very small voice, so small that even he could hardly hear it, and quickly lifted off the other person's veil.
In an instant, everyone saw the Autobot's face, and Megatron also stood up from his throne at this time.
The sound of the sword being unsheathed shattered all the whispers, and the entire hall was so quiet that only the heavy footsteps of Megatron could be heard. The king who seemed to have no interest in everything a second ago now looked murderous. Starscream Feeling fear, the light of death fell on the tip of the sword in Megatron's hand——
——Logically speaking, Starscream should push Optimus Prime out at this time, at least so that he can distance himself from Megatron's anger, but he was probably frightened by Megatron's momentum. On the other hand, Optimus, who was also frightened, was pulling on his arm and he couldn't leave.
Starscream froze in place as if his feet were nailed by iron nails. Megatron walked towards him and Optimus Prime, with a pair of red-light optics on his gloomy face. The good news is that as Megatron walked down the high platform step by step, his steps gradually changed from restless to calm. The horrifying look on Megatron's face that looked like he was about to kill also calmed down little by little as time went by. When this When the inexplicably angry king came to them, only bottomless darkness remained in Megatron's optical mirror.
Starscream moved aside, knowingly.
"I'll ask again." Megatron's voice changed from the cold tone before, and his tone became more low-pitched and restrained in anger, "What's your name? Where are you from?"
The sword was pointed at Optimus Prime's head sculpture, and the tip of the sword was only one finger away from the opponent's eyebrows.
"I-I'm Optimus from Iacon City."
Optimus Prime didn't dare to raise his head to meet Megatron's gaze, and his voice was trembling. Starscream watched all this, and he couldn't help but slow down the frequency for this little Autobot. What on earth is this old guy like Megatron going crazy about? Although the other party is very beautiful, he is not so excited, right? Starscream secretly observed Megatron's attitude. The other party hesitated for a moment after hearing Optimus Prime's answer, then slowly put away his sword and turned away with disgust.
"Someone, take Optimus to his room."
"My noble Majesty, we need to follow customs——"
Megatron looked back at Lugnut, and the unfortunate mech immediately stopped talking. He knelt down respectfully and changed his words: "Everything will be done according to your instructions, my master."
