Chapter 30 First Spouse

The Oslan Empire is a hereditary system. Emperor Gorba III Lebery is the most moderate generation among the Deer Orcs. He is good at handling things as long as he can handle them. On the rare occasions when he needs to make a decision and express his attitude, he is also used to transferring responsibilities and risks.

But it was this emperor of an empire who was unexpectedly positive and decisive when facing the issue of reproduction.

At this time, in the main hall of the imperial court.

Gorba III cordially offered Qiao Suisui a seat, and after asking about her well-being, he tentatively asked, "How did you and Scorsese know each other?"

"It was Luka who saved me when I was auctioned off by the underground organization."

"Oh," Gorba III nodded. In fact, he had already investigated everything about Qiao Suisui, and he was just using this as an excuse to bring up a new topic. "He's a good kid, not as stubborn and old-fashioned as old Scorsese. If you take him as your spouse, he's worthy of you."

"Isn't Luka the princess's consort?"

The man on the throne smiled kindly and said, "He has made it clear to me that he will not marry Isabel."

On the day Zongfang kidnapped Zizi, Luka, despite his severe injuries, refused to leave for treatment. He first arranged for his family and Liberi to care for Sui Sui, then went to see the emperor to request the annulment of his marriage agreement with the princess. He knew he would be in the medical cabin for just over ten days, and many difficult matters remained unresolved, such as Zongfang's whereabouts and Zizi's whereabouts. Even more pressing was his relationship with Isabel, wondering if it would embarrass Sui Sui. He felt sorry for her and didn't want to leave her to deal with this mess alone. He was even more concerned, fearing she wouldn't adapt to the imperial court, and she was weak after giving birth. So, even though he knew Liberi's feelings for her, he still asked him to take good care of her.

".However, this isn't something that can be granted with just a few words."

After Gorba III finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Susu meaningfully and smiled.

"Everything has a price. Isabel may not be as precious as you, but she's also a high-quality artificial female, produced after hundreds of failures. Besides, Luca was chosen as her mate by Old Scorsese and I. How can we just overturn her?"

After hearing this, Qiao Suisui's thoughts turned back and forth several times. The emperor had called her here today, and the matter was most likely related to her. She had thought that a father would let her leave Luka out of love for his daughter, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

"What will happen if Luka insists on not marrying the princess?"

"Then he will still be a member of the Scorsese family, but he will no longer be a colonel in the Imperial Army. After all, I agreed to let him join the military to give him the opportunity to become worthy of the Imperial Princess. Now that he has gone back on his word, his honor will become a stain. Of course, the Scorsese family will also be unable to hold their heads up high because of this."

Sui Sui lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes obscuring the thoughts in them. Seeing her lower her head, Gorba III thought his invisible threat had worked, and he smiled warmly, adding fuel to the fire.

"You don't have to feel sorry for this. After all, Luka gave up his bright future for the woman he loves. No matter how I deal with him, he won't complain. But what are your plans? Are you going to marry Luka?"

Qiao Suisui didn't like the feeling of being forced into a relationship. When it came to a spouse, neither Luka nor Ash was her ideal choice. Luka was already engaged when she met him, and although she adhered to her boundaries, she always felt like she was stealing something that didn't belong to her.

Although she couldn't influence Luka's choice, she was certain of one thing: she didn't want to watch him lose the honor he was so proud of. The badge he had casually given her had always been carefully preserved by Sui Sui, as she instinctively felt it was something very important, perhaps even symbolizing the life and death he had endured in the military over the years.

The pressure of ruining Luka's future for her was suffocating her. Assuming that they really got together in the future, this incident would have an unspeakable weight on their relationship.

So even though Qiao Susu knew clearly that the emperor was deliberately using Luka to lure her for other purposes, she had no choice but to follow his guidance.

"I hope that Luka and the princess can end their relationship and he won't be punished in any way. Please state the conditions directly."

"You're very clever," Gorba III laughed, and this time the smile in his eyes seemed genuine. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. In fact, this might actually be a good thing for you."

Qiao Susu said nothing, her dark eyes quietly looking at the person sitting there.

"Marry my son and bear him offspring. I promise that your child will become the heir to the sun."

Gorba III had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were genetically incubated. Genetic incubation is extremely expensive and has a moderate success rate. Generally speaking, males are easier to hatch, and as long as the paternal genes are predominant, they tend to be superior. However, females are difficult to hatch, with as few as one in ten likely failing to hatch. This is because the maternal genes are derived from artificial females, and most of these genes lack certain specific information chains. This means that the genes of artificial females are incomplete, resulting in a high failure rate.

Therefore, one can imagine how much money and resources were invested in raising offspring with three sons and one daughter.

Qiao Susu was stunned. She didn't expect that this was his idea.

She had heard Ash mention him before; he was just an unremarkable member of the royal family. Gorba III was his uncle, holding a rather unassuming position within the household. His three sons were different. The eldest held a high position in the FBI and had been away for years, so it couldn't be him. The second son was a figure not to be mentioned, having been expelled from Osland and reportedly joined the Nomadic Alliance. That left only the youngest son, roughly Ash's age.

"You mean to make Lanzel Liberi my spouse?"

"good."

Gorba III raised his chin and mentioned his youngest son with some pride.

"Lan Ze is my favorite successor. Although his mental power is only A-level, his talent is unprecedented in the family. I believe that you and him will have a bright future together. If you marry him, you will no longer have to worry about Zongfang or the Federation sending you back to Sote. You can stay here and become a member of the Oslan royal family. As for little Scorsese..."

His eyes were slightly narrowed, making it difficult for Su Su to tell whether he was smiling or calculating.

".You can also marry him, but the position of first spouse must belong to the Labery family."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Susu lowered her eyes with a calm expression, as if she was thinking about something, so she didn't notice the corner of clothes passing by outside the main hall.
