Messiah's interstellar prison is suspended in low orbit and is a satellite with the appearance of a mechanical sphere.
The surface is a gloomy gray, and at first glance, it looks like a dead star.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has already arranged everything.
To Shen Que's surprise, in addition to the warden and the research team hand-picked by the princess, Chu Yang was also there.
"I'm just supervising the handover on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Chu Yang explained with a smile.
"She's been busy with anniversary matters lately and can't get away."
"But she did specifically ask you to say hello if you see her."
Shen Que nodded.
Everything went according to procedure. Without much greeting, Shen Que handed Lingyu and Ganier over to the warden and left.
When the starship set sail again, Pei Ji asked in confusion, "Why did the princess arrange for Chu Yang to supervise the handover?"
He didn't know much about the royal court's network of relationships.
Although he had heard of Chu Yang a long time ago, by the time he joined the fleet, this famous first commander had already retreated to the second line, and his knowledge of Chu Yang was limited to rumors and some battle information.
Shen Que stood in front of the window, looking at the aquamarine planet that almost occupied his entire field of vision, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chu Yang was the princess's teacher when she was young."
He looked at Pei Ji, who was sitting on the sofa.
"How much do you know about Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"A little bit." Pei Ji said truthfully, "I know she is the flesh and blood of the old emperor and the empress, but...she was born from an artificial womb."
This incident caused a big stir on StarNet, with dozens of scholars arguing fiercely over whether artificial embryo technology would change the laws of nature.
They even used the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Queen were not close as an example to prove that children conceived through artificial means had a weak sense of kinship, thus opposing the overdevelopment of medical treatment in this area.
Shen Que nodded, "When the old emperor was exiled to the Sea of Life and Her Majesty took over power, she was pregnant with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"But at that time, the Ikaros Empire was attacked by a swarm of insects and was on the verge of collapse."
"For the sake of the empire, the Queen chose to remove the embryo and freeze it until the insect infestation was over, at which point she artificially delivered the princess."
"So, although Her Highness the Princess is the flesh and blood of the old emperor, she has never seen her father, and she was not even in her mother's womb for more than two months."
Shen Que paused.
"In short, she has had a bad temper since she was a child, and she is not close to Her Majesty the Queen."
Pei Ji was stunned.
"Wait...you mean, Princess Ann Luya was conceived naturally by the Queen? But isn't Carolina an Alpha?"
He also thought that the reason they chose artificial childbirth was because the old emperor was about to be exiled, and Carolina, as an Alpha, could not get pregnant, so they chose artificial insemination.
Not only him, almost all the citizens of the star think so, and the royal court also tacitly agrees with this statement.
If we had known that Carolina had chosen to freeze embryos for the sake of the empire, the argument would not have taken that direction.
Shen Que's hands hanging at his sides tightened slightly.
"yes……"
He sighed.
"Because Her Majesty is not an Alpha, but a Beta."
Pei Ji opened his mouth and asked, "What..."
Shen Que turned towards him and said, "She differentiated into an Alpha after gaining power."
What a shocking piece of news!
Pei Ji suddenly felt that he knew too much.
There are many cases of secondary differentiation throughout the empire, most of which are caused by drastic changes in living environment.
However, the sexual characteristics of secondary differentiation are generally not as obvious as those of the first differentiation.
Carolina's image of decisiveness and majesty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone thinks she is a natural Alpha and a natural emperor.
Shen Que continued, "When the princess was young, the queen was busy with government affairs and didn't spend much time with her. Instead, it was her teacher, Mr. Chu Yang, who often accompanied her. So she has been close to Mr. Chu Yang since she was a child... and some of the elders of the parliament."
"Could it be those old antiques who support the old emperor's bloodline?" Pei Ji frowned.
Shen Que nodded.
"Those old men like to tease her more than His Majesty."
He continued, "Later, with the recommendation of His Excellency Chu Yang, she enrolled at the School of Life Sciences and gained some authority after reaching adulthood."
"But Her Highness Luya has never shown much interest in military matters. Instead, she's been interested in culture and entertainment... She's loved these things since she was a child. She's active and restless, and she even thought about becoming a pilot and traveling the stars."
"She allocated a lot of funds to develop the Star Network and virtual idols... and also restarted research on the Sea of Life. Many new council members supported her because of this."
"I know that," Pei Ji said. "That AI idol Coko with billions of views, Luo Yuan is a fan of hers. He buys her songs as soon as they are released."
He changed the subject, "But her support for medical care is remarkable. I heard that the latest generation of medical cabins can extend the average human lifespan to 350 years."
Shen Que nodded, "It was thanks to it that I was able to save my life after I was injured."
Pei Ji suddenly asked, "How do you know Her Royal Highness the Princess so well?"
From personality to hobbies to growth experience.
"You two don't have any shameful relationship, do you?"
Shen Que paused and shifted his gaze an inch.
"No... I just thought since she's your operations officer, it wouldn't hurt to get to know her better..."
"You know too much! Someone who didn't know would think you were getting married. Your family fortune has been completely ruined."
Pei Ji felt a little sad.
