Chapter 120: MONSTER AT THE GATE

EMELIANNA/ FARE

"Ohh...I almost forgot I was pressed. You really know my mind, My Queen."

He bowed hastily. Then he ran.

He ran so quickly that the hem of his military uniform fluttered behind him.

Emelianna watched him disappear around the corner.

Her sweet smile vanished.

The corners of her lips twitched violently..Not with amusement. With rage. She regretted ever thinking of giving this Coward a chance.

"Pathetic," she muttered.

She crushed the handkerchief in her fist.

If I survive this, I am getting rid of that useless Male. I will find a better Military Male as my Second Spouse. If only I can get Ina’s father..But he is old now. Younger Males all go for prettier younger females.

And right now she had more pressing concerns. The sound of heavy footsteps soon echoed through the corridor.

The guards returned first, their faces tense. They moved aside and bowed deeply, making way for the person behind them.

Emelianna straightened on the sofa.

She smoothed her clothes, adjusted her hair, and arranged her expression into one of serene hospitality.

Whatever happened next, she would not allow Fare Federick to see her panic. Thou Fare was older in age but in Status she was higher. A saintess crown Princess. Fare spent her time in the Military before she went to the Saintess school believing the Military betrayed her trust. But the world knew it was about the Evil thing she did to Vega to make him her Fifth beast husband. She wasn’t really a good female. Her Evil thoughts can fill the Sea more than water.

Then the woman entered.

Fare Federick walked into the living room accompanied by two female guards.

She moved with effortless grace, her steps measured and elegant. Her slender hands rested loosely at her sides, and her figure was so delicate that a stranger might have mistaken her for a noble female who had never experienced a moment of hardship in her life.

Her beauty was gentle rather than intimidating.

She had a soft face, clear eyes, and a kind smile that made her look like the sort of female who would stop to help a wounded animal along the roadside.

Even her movements seemed harmless.

At first glance, nobody would have imagined that this woman could frighten an entire military division.

Nobody would have guessed that beneath that beautiful face lay a temperament capable of turning a peaceful gathering into a bloodbath.

Fare Federick was the direct descendant of the ancient Federick patriarch.

The old man had fathered her during the final years of his life, when he was embroiled in a deadly conflict with the Snake Clan. Even as an infant, Fare had displayed extraordinary power, and her existence had changed the fortunes of the Federick family.

While others struggled to maintain the family’s standing, Fare had raised it to heights that few could have imagined.

She was the reason the Federick name commanded such respect.

She was also the reason sensible people avoided provoking the family.

And yet, looking at her now, one would never have known it.

Fare’s gaze swept across the living room.

Then she smiled.

It was such a warm, welcoming smile that the atmosphere seemed to soften around her.

She approached the sofa and sat down without waiting for an invitation.

Her two female guards remained standing behind her, their expressions unreadable.

Emelianna rose immediately. "Lady Fare," she greeted her with a respectful smile.

Fare looked up at her.

"Oh, please. There’s no need to be so formal. We are one family." Her voice was gentle.

Emelianna’s mind screamed. "Who is family with a Cold blooded Snake like you!! Family? And you destroyed my gate!! You are really a crazy female that needs to be locked up forever!!"

Emelianna.held.her chest and heaved a sigh.of relief..the.anger inside was eating.her up. If she.Doesnt hold.it.in.she.and.Fare will.have to.fight to.calm.her down. And a fight.might lead to.destroying.the Astronova mansion..There was no longer.extra Energy stones for.such wastes.

Then Fare clasped her hands together and tilted her head apologetically. "I’m terribly sorry for disturbing you."

Emelianna’s smile stiffened.

Fare continued, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort.

"I truly had no intention of damaging your gates. I asked my people to knock, but nobody came to open them."

She sighed softly. "Naturally, I became concerned."

Her expression turned even more sympathetic. It was like she was about to burst into tears. She shook her head.

"You see, when an entire household refuses to respond to visitors, one can’t help wondering whether something terrible has happened inside. A lot of things have been happening in Haxia lately. So I have to be careful."

She paused.

Then she smiled brightly.

"So I thought there might have been a Zerg attack on your mansion! You know.last time.you.complained of.it and.the.governmemt.sent.compensation."

Emelianna.fingers clenched tightly. She thought. "Why is she emphazing.in the compensation? Does she think.we.lied about it?"

Fare spread her hands as though the answer were perfectly obvious.

"I couldn’t possibly stand by and allow innocent people to suffer, could I? So I hurried inside to save everyone."

She glanced around the magnificent living room. She admired the mansion’s layout.

Her smile never wavered. "After all, I would never forgive myself if something happened to you all."

For several seconds, the room was completely silent. Emelianna stood before her, her smile frozen in place.

Behind Fare, the two female guards remained expressionless.

Outside, the military fleet continued to hover over the Astronova Mansion. She never told them to stop and come down as she entered the mansion.

And Fare Federick, the female who had brought enough soldiers to surround an entire estate, sat comfortably on the sofa as though she had merely stopped by for afternoon tea.

She turned her kind eyes toward Emelianna. "Now then," Fare said sweetly, "I hope you don’t mind my little visit."

Her smile widened. "Shall we talk?"
