Chapter 4 The First Law of the Great Emperor: Do Not Look Directly at Him.
Before Asta, S-class detainees were truly heinous criminals who needed to be spared, so naturally they had no human rights to speak of.
If Dekari is captured, he may be classified as an S-level prisoner and imprisoned in an underground jail to be tortured until his sentence is handed down.
However, during the era of Sklag I, there emerged a phenomenal being named Asta. There are thousands of versions of her story throughout the universe. During her time under Manra's supervision, she persuaded the then Director of the Security Bureau—who was once a close comrade-in-arms—to grant her numerous privileges.
Although their freedom is restricted, based on the Omega Protection Law, Asta emphasized that Omegas should enjoy the treatment they deserve. As a result, Asta managed to turn the S-class regulated individuals into S-class protected animals.
Although the Security Bureau made many changes in later generations, Shi Wei's S-rank status as a supervised individual and her Omega identity still granted her many preferential treatments in life.
For example, the white dress Shi Wei is wearing now is made of materials specially supplied to the royal family. Her residence is arranged strictly according to her preferences, and all her daily necessities and food are provided by the palace—the standards are directly comparable to those of the emperor.
If Sermo had visited Shi Wei's home, he would have noticed something amiss. Although disguised by the Security Bureau, many of the items were clearly not something an ordinary employee like Shi Wei could afford.
That damned Asta, he managed to turn himself from a Class A war criminal into a nationally protected animal.
Asta later became the queen mother of Manla and the consort of Sklag I, so Luzi said nothing more.
But Your Majesty, what were you thinking? Why did you set up a strange, foreign commoner girl Omega as an S-rank supervised individual, treating her the same as the Queen Mother?
Lu Qi sighed. If it were him making the judgment, he would at most give it a B grade and assign a third-level director to take full responsibility.
"Where are we going now?" After a long silence, the girl across from him asked.
Lu Qi was just about to scare her when his communicator rang and was immediately answered. His expression turned serious.
"Lu Qi, bring that Omega over here."
The smile in his eyes froze.
The only person authorized to issue orders directly through his communicator is his direct superior.
Sklag II, the Great himself.
Shi Wei looked at Lu Qi, whose face had darkened after receiving the call, with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a long time with a dark expression, the man said to her, "Don't speak, just listen to what I'm about to say."
"The Emperor wants to see you. Answer whatever he asks. This security check was accidentally triggered and it's not your fault, but you must accept whatever the Emperor decides to do."
Shi Wei was stunned for a moment.
What? Who wants to see her?
Looking at her young and bewildered expression, Lu Qi wiped his face. Oh no, he couldn't continue to fool the emperor with the girl's daily ramblings.
The emperor directly ordered him to bring the person there, probably because he was beginning to question his work efficiency.
That wretched Decali, you've really caused me so much suffering.
The head of the secret service was as cold as water, like the icy sea where Decali committed suicide. The Emperor was strict with his subordinates but also trusted them. He shouldn't have slacked off.
When the chip was recovered and the state secrets were not leaked, Luci was still very relieved. He was relieved that Decali had not ultimately chosen to betray Manra, and that the empire would not face a huge crisis.
But now he is about to face the Emperor's wrath.
He could almost picture the pain of the Emperor's eagle eyes piercing his flesh—
"Lucchi, you have disappointed me greatly."
Looking at the still bewildered girl, who was still confused about her impending fate, Lu Qi, unusually showing a sliver of humanity, said, "Behave yourself later. If it really doesn't work, have a good cry. The Emperor is a man too, and you are an Omega. Maybe if you cry, he'll soften up."
Shi Wei: ...
It seems to be implying that she can take advantage of her physical characteristics.
But Her Majesty the Empress has been dead for so long, and the Emperor hasn't remarried, so your suggestion seems to have no chance of being implemented at all.
Shi Wei is not a staunch believer in monogamy, and she has never thought that Alphas and Omegas should remain faithful to one another. As long as they do not deceive their partners, it is understandable.
If seducing the Emperor could save her life, she would immediately seduce him.
But is that really possible? She's not Asta. Only a god like Asta, who can take on the entire universe, can be loved by A and driven crazy by O. Beta chooses to silently protect her, okay?
She silently rolled her eyes.
Lu Qi gritted his teeth, looking sullen.
Lucia was on a semi-vacation in Milan because the Emperor was also on vacation there. As a result, Milan's security system was directly taken over by the Emperor's guards, which is why Shiwei encountered a problem during security checks.
After all, the Emperor's safety is paramount.
After passing through security checks, they entered a palace nestled among blooming flowers. The passing guard captain, Ravic, looked at Lucia... and the girl behind her in surprise.
A petite Omega?
Lavezzi looked Shi Wei up and down. She was covered in dust and didn't look very good. Lu Qi, even if you're sending women to His Majesty, you don't have to be this stingy.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Lavezzi winked at Luzi: "His Majesty is here on vacation. What you're doing is a bit dishonest. Let me remind you—those who send women to His Majesty over the years have never had a good ending."
"Get lost!" Lu Qi rolled his eyes and scolded, "This is a target of the Security Bureau's mission. His Majesty wants to see him. I dare not act as a pimp for His Majesty."
Shi Wei was in a major embarrassment.
The captain of the guard stared at the Omega for a long time, then scratched his head: "I really can't tell, little girl."
He looks like a well-behaved child, yet he needs to be personally escorted by Lu Qi, the head of the Security Bureau. Are Omegas really that powerful now?
The further Shi Wei went, the more nervous she became. What should she do? What if she said the wrong thing and got beheaded?
It's been three years, and the security bureau has been investigating for three years without finding anything. She can swear a solemn oath before the monument that she really didn't do anything wrong.
Compared to ordinary people, her life was outstanding, but to the emperor who could rival Sklag I, she was just an ant.
Mom is right, don't chat with strangers when you're out and about!
Waaah.
"Don't be nervous," Lu Qi whispered.
Shi Wei nodded vigorously, knowing that he did not want her to die.
Passing through layers of gates, gardens, and floating staircases, they arrived at the Emperor's study.
It's a very simple study, not overly luxurious, just like the study of an ordinary manor owner.
There was a faint floral fragrance in the room, which probably drifted in from outside the window.
Not far away, a tall man in casual clothes sat at a desk, reviewing documents.
Lu Qi lowered his head, sweat beading on his forehead. The girl behind him dared to stare in that direction.
He coughed, and Shi Wei finally looked away.
F**k! She didn't learn royal etiquette!
The first rule: Don't look directly at it!
Girl, lower your head even lower!
Shi Wei glanced at it, then looked away and looked down at the floor.
She also wondered why Lu Qi seemed to be bowing his neck at a right angle.
Lu Qi, with a look of unwavering resolve, spoke: "Your Majesty, good day—"
With no movement around him, Lu Qi nudged the Omega with his elbow.
Shi Wei panicked for a moment, then realized what she meant and said, "Your Majesty, good day."
Lu Qi took a deep breath—
Young lady! I am a major general, and you are a commoner. We are not on the same level in terms of etiquette!
Ah! Hasn't she seen the soap opera "The Cold-Hearted Colonel Falls in Love with Me" on TVB?
That's a wildly popular idol drama based on the two generations of Sklag the Great; it's a hit all over the universe.
The story of Alita, a commoner Omega girl, and Slick, a noble Alpha colonel, emphasizes the etiquette between commoners and nobles when meeting royalty!
The extended literary genre of this drama, "niche studies," even provides detailed information on how a commoner girl should greet an emperor if she were to actually meet him—this video has consistently been the most collected item on the website.
Young lady, this drama has been popular for so many years, and you are the only one who can actually implement this set of etiquette.
Lu Qi dares to guarantee that 90% of young Omegas in the country know this etiquette.
However, since there was no one else present, the Emperor wouldn't hold such a grudge.
Sure enough, the Emperor closed the floating screen and looked at them.
Lu Qi led Shi Wei forward and bowed again, and Shi Wei followed suit and bowed as well.
Lu Qi pretended not to see it.
The Emperor glanced at him, then looked at Shi Wei, who had her head bowed: "Raise your head."
“I know that citizens of the Fran Empire do not need to bow to the head of state. You are not a citizen of our country, so you do not need to bow to me.”
Shi Wei raised her head and saw a young and handsome face with eagle eyes.
The sea-blue eyes are a symbol of the direct line of the Manla royal family.
Extremely beautiful, but on this emperor's face, it was like a sea shrouded in winter.
Shi Wei shuddered.
Lu Qi: ...Young lady, the fact that you didn't swoon makes me think more highly of you, but your trembling is a bit too obvious. The Emperor has been quite gentle so far, hasn't he?
Seeing the Omega subtly retreating, Queen Sklag II was slightly surprised. Why was she afraid? Could it be that the Fran Empire had deliberately smeared something about him?
Actually, Your Majesty, you just came from the battlefield, and your murderous aura hasn't completely dissipated yet. You're still a bit frightening.
The Emperor's gaze quickly fell on Lu Qi: "Major General, you are also a nobleman. Why did you send an Omega to see me, covered in dust? This is disrespectful to a lady."
Lu Qi knew this, of course. Shi Wei had just asked to change her clothes, but he refused: "No, go like this. Going as a victim is much better than going in a fancy outfit."
But he immediately admitted his mistake: "I'm very sorry, I thought you wanted to see her right away, I will apologize to her."
Actually, he was quite pleased with himself.
See, the effect is pretty good. At least the Emperor won't go berserk and beat people up in front of Omegas.
He was quite approachable to Shi Wei, and even exempted her from bowing.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor knocked on the table, and a servant entered. The Emperor instructed, "Take this young lady to rest and tidy up."
Lu Qi's pupils contracted as he saw Shi Wei bow to the Emperor and then quickly and decisively slip away.
Girl, you can't do this.
