Chapter 515 The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 28
Anthony was very happy about Chajiu's safe return.
But when she saw Pangpang, she showed a surprised expression: "This ghost moth larva seems to be a little special..."
Cha Jiu looked down at Pang Pang, but couldn't see anything special about him.
Pangpang raised his noble head, showing his pure bloodline as the descendant of the Ghost Moth King in all aspects.
Anthony licked his lips, greed in his eyes: "...especially plump, if it is roasted, it should burst with juice."
Fatty was shocked: “!”
Cha Jiu: “…”
As expected, don't expect a star thief who is hungry all year round to be able to figure out the secrets other than eating.
However, Anthony's words still reminded Cha Jiu that Pang Pang's identity was not simple after all. If people found out that the princess of the empire raised a descendant of the ghost-faced moth king, it would definitely cause an uproar.
So she asked Anthony to use a trick to disguise Chubby as a white guinea pig.
Almost every noble in the Imperial Star City has one of these little pets, and they don't attract attention.
The guinea pig version of Chubby admired himself in the mirror, feeling very intoxicated.
Ji~
Fatty, I am indeed the descendant of the noble insect king. I look good no matter how I dress up~
Cha Jiu couldn't bear to look at this narcissistic bug, and looked at Anthony: "By the way, has anything strange happened on the starship during the days I was missing?"
"Strange thing" Anthony pondered and finally remembered something.
"On the day you disappeared, I seemed to see two chief guards. One was protecting you in the front hall, and the other left alone in the safety cabin."
"But maybe I'm dazzled."
After all, the situation was so chaotic at the time that it was not impossible that I had mistaken someone.
Cha Jiu knew she was not mistaken.
The one who left in the emergency cabin should be the real Carlos.
The system was puzzled: "Wasn't Carlos captured by the rebels? How did he escape? And he stole the amber necklace of the princess and pushed you into the encirclement of the ghost moth. Could it be that he knew the secret of the necklace and wanted to kill you to silence you?"
The system has problems one after another.
Cha Jiu couldn't answer either.
These mysteries may only be solved after Carlos is found.
But now, she has more important things to do.
The starship was about to arrive at Alpha. Cha Jiu's eyes, as cold as ice, looked out at the strange continent through the glass window without any emotion.
At the same time, Lance was discussing with his subordinates what to do after arriving at Alpha.
"Stop the plan to assassinate the princess for now. I have a new plan." The entanglement last night was indeed intoxicating, but the sincere communication between each other after the passion subsided brought the two loving souls closer.
Lance could tell from his lover's ambitious expression when she mentioned the imperial throne, and from the grand plans she revealed for the future, that she had her eyes on that supreme throne.
He is very happy.
Because their ways are not contradictory.
Lance is willing to be Cha Jiu's stepping stone to the throne, the sharp blade to conquer the stars, and he also firmly believes that she has the ability to create a new era of prosperity for the people of the stars.
"... Chief, there is something we haven't had time to tell you." Isaac and Lehman looked at each other with serious expressions.
They recounted how the deputy leader had been spreading the word that the leader was dead during the time Lance was missing, and how he had seized power, cultivated his confidants, and eliminated dissidents.
The rebels are now in chaos, divided into factions, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else.
Isaac said, "Also, the deputy leader has sent people to ambush on Alpha Star, preparing to assassinate the princess and the duke, in order to declare war on the entire empire."
Lance's face darkened, his eyes cold: "Idiot."
Assassinating Lord Wilbermer would not only do no good to the people, but would also make the rebels the public enemy of the interstellar world.
Regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, the remaining nine legions would feel insecure and would give up their attitude of watching the fire from the other side of the river and choose to turn their guns around and fight the rebels together.
It can be said that the deputy leader's move is useless except for using the rebels to pave the way for his own fame in the interstellar space.
Lehman looked at his leader with concern: "What should we do now? The assassin sent by the deputy leader has already ambushed us, and they are only in contact with the deputy leader."
Isaac also said: "The rebels are in chaos right now, and we are waiting for you to return and take charge of the situation."
Lance's brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.
These problems are urgent and need to be solved urgently.
He may need to be away for a while.
This means that he must confess his identity to Cha Jiu as soon as possible.
But will Cha Jiu forgive his deception?
At first, he approached her with ulterior motives in order to assassinate her...
Lance felt hesitant and extremely uneasy.
The bullet, born of conspiracy and deception, eventually crossed the barrier of time and space and hit him right between the eyebrows.
…
After a bumpy journey, the starship finally arrived safely at Planet Alpha and landed on the ground.
When Cha Jiu walked down from the starship, he was stopped by Lance.
He strode to Cha Jiu's side, his brows furrowed, as if hesitant and uneasy, and spoke in a knotted tone: "Your Highness, I have something to say to you..."
"Good day, Princess."
An old and stern voice interrupted Lance's words and came from the side.
Cha Jiu turned his head and saw that it was the old Duke Wilbermer who came to greet him.
He was dressed in pure black duke's attire and holding a jeweled cane. His gray hair was all combed back, revealing an extremely shrewd and serious face.
His concubines, wives, and children all stood behind him according to their status, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive, not daring to overstep the mark in the slightest.
It seems that the old duke is a very strict man.
This was Cha Jiu's first impression of him.
"Good day, Duke." She nodded slightly in response, and used the corner of her eyes to signal Lance that they could talk later.
In front of so many eyes and ears, Lance knew that now was not the right time to explain the whole thing.
So he could only put it aside for the time being and retreat behind Cha Jiu.
Jessica and Allen got off the starship, but were called over by the old duke.
Jessica looked at her father anxiously.
The old duke stared at her and said sternly: "You lost the duel with Her Royal Highness the Princess, why don't you follow the rules and execute the punishment?"
Jessica's face turned pale.
Jessica's mother, Lady Karen, wanted to plead for her daughter, but was scolded by the Duke.
"It's not your turn to speak here." The old Duke withdrew his gaze from the tearful Mrs. Karen to the trembling Jessica, and ordered the soldiers to present a revolver to her.
"Jessica, fulfill your promise. The Wilbermer family will not be a traitor."
The Duke said this to Jessica and also to all the soldiers of the First Legion who were watching.
Jessica burst into tears and reached out to the revolver with trembling hands...
Three seconds later.
There was a blast of gunfire, followed by the sound of bodies falling to the ground, and blood staining the ground red.
Mrs. Karen wailed in pain and rushed forward to hug her daughter's still warm body.
Cha Jiu watched all this with indifference, not saying a word from beginning to end.
Even though his most beloved daughter died in front of him, the old Duke's expression did not show any emotion.
He looked up at Cha Jiu and said meaningfully: "I have cleared out my people. Your Highness, should you also check carefully to see if there are any people around you who should not be there?"
Cha Jiu seemed to not understand the meaning of his words.
The old duke looked past her and fell on Lance behind him, and said sarcastically: "The captain of the guard beside you is not a real captain of the guard, but a rebel. Have you not noticed this or are you deliberately hiding it for some reason?"
(There is one more chapter that may last until 2 o'clock. Don't wait. The protagonists will make up soon. It is not a problem to reveal the identity. There will be no torture.)
