Chapter 466: Playing Tricks on the Princes
The daily life of the Ninth Princess Sophie Yuna is simple these days.
She handles daily affairs remotely every day, and when she has free time, she goes to see her fiancé to cultivate their relationship.
Of course, it would be even better if her fiancé Richie could smile at her.
"…It seems that Richie hasn't smiled much in the past year."
Sitting at the desk, Sophie played with the Q version of Richie doll.
She used her fingers to pull at the corners of the doll's mouth, trying to make it look like it was smiling, but Sophie soon gave up such childish behavior.
The main problem is that the Q-version dolls made in this way don’t look good at all.
Sophie didn't know what went wrong. Richie had always smiled at her before. When she first met Richie in his yard, she was captivated by his smile.
After the two got engaged, Sophie often took Richie out to play. In the beginning, Richie often smiled, but since when, Richie's expression became monotonous.
It seems... it started from when he tried to escape and failed a year ago...
"Your Highness."
A call sounded in Sophie's ears while she was lost in thought.
Sophie quickly took the doll off the table and looked aside.
The tall woman in a red royal knight costume and a black high ponytail bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, I have a communication for you."
"Whose?"
"From that organization."
"Fuxing Society?"
Sophie Yuna narrowed her eyes slightly, then waved her hand at the woman: "Don't worry about it, let them wait for a while."
The Renaissance Society, a resistance organization whose dream is to revive the once great empire.
It also has another name, the Shining Knights.
This was the strongest order of knights of the great empire that once almost unified the universe.
It’s just that compared to the Shining Knights, people are more familiar with the name of the Renaissance Society.
Before Sophie Yuna left James Star this time, she received a message from the Renaissance Society, saying that they wanted to make a deal with Sophie Yuna.
The content of the deal is not yet known, but they will promise to help Sophie Yuna seize the throne.
Sophie Yuna agreed to them on the surface, but in fact she scoffed at their promise.
Sophie is not a person who likes to fight for power. Compared with sitting on the seemingly high throne and looking down on the world, Sophie prefers to travel around the universe with the person she loves.
As for your question of why she became the Ninth Princess chosen by the Queen?
The answer is also very simple.
Because only by becoming the ninth princess can Sophie have greater power, higher authority, and travel around with her beloved.
So Sophie had no interest in the "deal" proposed by the Renaissance Society.
In order to embarrass them, Sophie even gave them a little 'test'.
The test she gave was that if they could board her beloved warship under the strict inspection of the Knights, then Sophie would give them a chance to meet with her for a trade.
If they don't get on board, it will prove that the Renaissance Society is nothing special, and Sophie will ignore them in the future.
If you board...
hehe.
Sophie sneered: "Let everyone open their eyes wide, and when the transaction begins, all members of the Renaissance Society on the ship will be captured in one fell swoop.
"You are just a clown, how can you be qualified to do business with me?"
The Renaissance Society is a resistance organization wanted by the Empire. Even if the Ninth Princess is in a high position of power, she will definitely be caught if she trades with such an organization.
After Sophie took the position of the Ninth Princess, she followed a principle.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, no mistakes are made.
She only needs to maintain her current status, and wait until the next heir to the throne is chosen, and then she can be a retired prince.
There is no need to risk being caught by others by doing business with the Renaissance Society.
The Renaissance Society might have chosen the wrong person by choosing her.
"Yes, I understand."
The high ponytail knight nodded, understanding Sophie's plan and ideas.
She was about to turn around and give instructions when Sophie called her back, "Hey, wait a minute."
"Your Highness, please give your orders."
The knight with the high ponytail immediately bowed.
Sophie stroked her chin and thought for a while. She asked, "What do you think Richie likes now?"
“…”
"I've given him everything over the years, but why do I feel like he's becoming less and less happy?"
Sophie Yuna rubbed her forehead in distress.
The high-ponytailed knight was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"How about...you go ask His Highness Yolin?"
"Forget it. Instead of asking him, I might as well figure it out myself. I don't want to be scolded by him."
Sophie Yuna waved her hand speechlessly to Gao Ponytail to leave, and she leaned back in her chair and continued to think.
In fact, the high ponytail suggestion is not bad. Compared with Sophie Yuna guessing here by herself, it is better to ask directly the person who knows Richie best.
Yolin is the best candidate.
Because he is Richie's elder brother and the current head of the Sarnak family, he knows everything about Richie.
But Sophie Yuna just didn't want to find him.
The reason is that she and Yolin don't get along. If it weren't for Richie, they would probably become enemies.
So unless it was necessary, Sophie Yuna didn't want to contact him.
"Hey! Got it, why not take Richie to watch a mock battle!"
After thinking for a while, Sophie Yuna suddenly had an idea.
She remembered that Richie had been very focused when he was watching the mechanic's simulated battle.
If she could find a way to get two mechanics to have a simulated war, then Richie would be happy.
………
Mechanic simulates war.
It refers to a grand interstellar war in which two mechanics above level five, each controlling their own mechanical legion, wage a grand interstellar war in the starry sky.
Li Qi had seen a simulated battle of mechanics before, and Sophie Yuna had taken him to the highest institution of learning in the empire to watch the graduation ceremony at that time.
Two high-level mechanics who graduated at level 6, controlled a huge fleet, and fought an interstellar war on a galaxy scale in a lifeless galaxy! It was truly like a movie coming to life.
Li Qi was immediately fascinated by the profession of mechanic.
Two people, no need for any driver, no need for any battle formation, and no need for any tactical staff.
Just two people can wage such a huge war.
It really is true that one person is an army.
The simulated war lasted for a whole Imperial Day and ended with the destruction of one side.
But until now, Li Qi can still recall the details of the battle between the two mechanics that day, and he also wants to go to the Imperial College to watch the graduation ceremony again when he has time.
It’s a pity that after that incident, Li Qi was ordered by his mother to study government affairs and he never had the chance to visit again.
Until today.
"…Simulated war?" Looking at Sophie Yuna who invited him to watch the battle, Li Qi asked in surprise: "You want our mechanic to play a simulated war?"
"Yeah, do you want to see it?"
Sophie asked with a chuckle as she took Li Qi's arm.
The two are of the same height, but because Sophie is wearing high heels, she is half a head taller than Li Qi.
At this moment, she was sticking to the edge of Li Qi's hair, sniffing the scent of shampoo in his hair and asking.
Li Qi, who had long been accustomed to Sophie's actions, did not resist. He just asked in confusion: "Without a mechanic above level seven, who dares to play a simulated war outside?"
Simulated war, since it contains the word "simulated", it proves that it is not a real fight.
The two students who participated in the simulated war at the Imperial Academy last time used all their means and one of them even exhausted all his own resources, but in fact they did not suffer much loss.
The reason was that there was an eighth-level mechanic at the time who covered the entire battlefield with his mechanical field.
Within the domain, all damaged machines will be restored to their original positions at the mere thought of him.
It is precisely because of this ability as a foundation that the two mechanics, who are only at the sixth level, can use their abilities unscrupulously and will not stop even when their resources are exhausted.
But now, they don't have such a mechanic around them.
Mainly the ninth-level mechanics and mecha masters, they are already the pillars of the empire. They will guard the most critical places of the empire and will not be dispatched easily.
If the ninth-level mecha pilots are not deployed at will, there are only eighth-level mechanics and mecha pilots who can provide support everywhere.
Even so, these eighth-level powerhouses would not appear in other places at will.
Because of their status, Sophie and Li Qi had an eighth-level mecha warrior on standby at all times on the battleship, which was already very good.
Apart from this eighth-level mecha division, the strongest person on the battleship is only a seventh-level mechanic.
But this mechanic was responsible for controlling the entire "Ritchie" battleship. An interstellar battleship the size of half a planet had already involved most of the mechanic's energy. How could he use the mechanical field to let two mechanics conduct a simulated war? Li Qi expressed his doubts.
But Sophie smiled after hearing this: "We don't need the mechanical field."
"?"
A question mark popped up above Li Qi's head, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, his premonition came true the next moment.
Sophie hugged him and sat in the best seat in the private restaurant, pointing to the starry sky outside and said:
"I have just sent a distress signal, saying that we were attacked by pirates. There are two fleets stationed nearby, and their captain is a sixth-level mechanic."
Sophie smiled proudly at this point: "Don't worry, I have asked people to change their communication system. They will only regard each other as enemies, so we will have a 'simulated battle' to watch soon."
“…”
After hearing what Sophie Yuna said, Li Qi's eyes went dark.
Send a fake help message?
Let the fleets coming to rescue fight each other?
I'm playing tricks on the princes! Hey, Sophie Yuna, you're a real genius! If you do this, why worry about the empire not being destroyed! Why worry about not being infamous for thousands of years! No, in this interstellar age where the superiors can achieve immortality in a certain sense, that means being infamous for thousands of years!
Who on earth gave you this idea?
Tell me, I promise not to beat her to death!! (End of this chapter)
