Shen Que laughed angrily: "You bullied my Alpha, and you still want me to be nice to you?"

Lu Ya choked, his eyes a little dimmer than before.

But she quickly composed herself and raised her chin proudly again.

"That Alpha is not good enough for you."

"He's just the future lord of a remote planet. Last century, White Sand Planet was even a barren planet! It was overrun with bandits and worms! How could he possibly be related to the Messiah? Does he even know who he's marrying?"

The tune in his ears gradually became lighter, Chen Que's lips were tightly pursed, and his gloomy eyes were deep and cold.

"And your marriage is tainted by corruption. He cheated on you. Do you know what people will say about you if this gets out?"

Shen Que sneered: "Do you think they will question the results of the optical computer or question the majesty of the imperial court?"

"Do you think His Majesty will not make any judgment after the matching list is released, and will not look at who is the first place?"

"Pei Ji is my legitimate Alpha. He was the result of all three matches in the optical computer, and he was also the choice made by His Majesty after careful consideration. He is destined to be my Alpha."

"Rightfully so? Destined?" Lu Ya sneered, "If there hadn't been this match, would you have met?"

Chen Que said word by word: "No ifs."

"In a timeline without Pei Ji, Shen Que would mutate and die. He wouldn't be able to survive."

The two of them turned around in silence.

Lu Ya looked at Shen Que steadily: "You have never said such willful words before. In your heart, the empire will always be the first. You are the empire's morning star. You should be high above everyone else and be admired by everyone."

"Should I?" Shen Que suddenly chuckled, his eyelids fluttering slightly, like broken butterfly wings under the light.

Lu Ya was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Shen looked very far away.

Cold and distant.

The tune became faster and faster, and the two moved apart and closer as they danced to the music.

Like two planets, sailing alone in their own orbits, and colliding again because of some bond.

When he got closer again, Shen Que spoke again:

"Give me the merchant."

Lu Ya raised his chin and said, "Why? I caught him. It was the incompetence of the Alpha that Carolina chose for you that allowed this scandal to fall into my hands. I have the final say on how to deal with him."

"You can't prove anything with this." Shen Que said coldly.

Lu Ya was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Your capture of that merchant doesn't prove Pei Ji is incompetent, nor does it prove that you are right and Your Majesty is wrong."

"and."

Shen Que paused.

"I'm not asking you for anything."

"I'm asking you, in my capacity, to hand over the merchant to me."

Luya opened his mouth.

Shen Que raised his eyes, and the moonstone between his eyebrows and his eyes reflected the same deep and cold light.

"What you call a scandal is the luck I couldn't ask for."

"He repeatedly tramples on other people's concerns and uses their concerns as proof of his own self-righteousness."

"Do you think I have no temper?"

"elder sister."
