Chapter 83: Recruits Death

VIVIAN

Melinna shook her head. "No... I never said she was the one responsible. We are only investigating who is behind this. So, be calm, My Princess."

Emelianna clenched her fist.

Bang! Her fist landed heavily on the table. "Such a person actually dared to imitate my daughter just to scam men?"

Her eyes burned with fury. "She deserves death!"

Melinna quickly reached across the table and held her hands. "Be calm, My Princess. You know the saying "in Haxia. Anything can happen."

Emelianna took a deep breath before pulling her hands away.

"I want the investigation results. I will check them on my own end."

Melinna raised her hand.

One officer immediately stepped forward. Melinna gave him a signal, and he opened his communicator.

"Send the investigation file to Princess Emelianna’s guard communicator."

"Yes, Your Highness."

A few seconds later, the file was successfully transferred.

Emelianna stood. "Till we meet next time."

Melinna nodded with a pleasant smile. "Of course, My Princess."

Emelianna turned and walked away. The moment she disappeared from sight, Melinna’s smile vanished.

Her face twisted with anger.

She suddenly spat toward the door and kicked the table. "Who does she think she is, looking down on me? She actually sat down talking to me. She treated me like I was a fake Royal."

A nearby robot immediately rushed over with a towel and began cleaning her hands.

Melinna stared at the door. "This stupid red bird! An evil mother like her claiming to be a saint. I have already found out all the evil things you royals do. I have your secrets.!!."

Her eyes narrowed. "I don’t know who gave the Astronova family the idea that they are better than every other Bird Clan."

She looked down at her magnificent peacock wings. "Look at my wings and hers. Which one is more beautiful?"

She turned toward a reflective wall and admired herself.

"If her mother wasn’t an SSS-Class, how would she have gotten that Royal title?"

The officer standing nearby lowered her head.

"She is also SSS-Class."

Melinna’s eyes snapped toward her.

"So?"

The officer stiffened.

Melinna stepped closer. "Are you trying to say Phoenixes are better than other birds?"

"No! No, Your Highness! I never said that!"

The officer hurriedly shook her head.

"Everyone knows Phoenixes are full of pride. But you..." She hesitated. "...You are full of beauty."

Melinna’s expression immediately softened. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "You are right."

She turned back toward the mirror. "If I wasn’t beautiful, do you think the Royal First Consort Fenrir would have had a child with me? Now I am the one holding the next Heir. Emelinna must be jealous, I live better.."

She slowly touched her hair. "And it’s not as though I’m weak. I’m also an SS-Class female."

She admired her reflection. "I am not lesser than Emelianna."

She adjusted the colorful gown covering her body. The dress was decorated with sparkling gems and gold ornaments.

She turned slightly from side to side. "I am beautiful."

The officer stared at her silently.

Then, in a very low voice, she muttered, "You are all birds of the same feather..."

She immediately stopped. "No...No...Birds of different feathers."

She sighed inwardly.

I’m so tired of this stupid bird.

Melinna suddenly turned around. "Come. Let me go see my precious royal son."

She walked away happily, almost dancing as she entered the mansion.

"""

Inside the hover ship. Emelianna was anything but calm.

Several objects had already been pushed aside around her.

"How dare someone try to ruin my precious Elena’s reputation?"

She paced around the room.

"How dare they?"

Her eyes flashed.

"Don’t they know she is an Astronova?"

"Now that ugly peacock has a gossip to tell the world about my daughter. That stupid Bird!! I really hate peacocks!! She wore so many clothes she is now looking like a bird spirit. I wonder why her servants don’t know the colors are too much for their Master.."

She suddenly stopped. "Bring me everything."

Her personal guard immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Your Highness."

He opened his communicator and displayed several conversations.

Emelianna read through them.

Her expression changed.

The messages were between Vivian and Aston. But only a fragment of it.

Her face darkened with every line.

"How dare she..."

Her fingers trembled. "She actually did this while using my daughter’s name and face?"

She scrolled through another message. "How many lives does this girl have?"

Emelianna ran her hand into her hair and let out a frustrated sigh.

"Who is doing this to me?"

She collapsed into her seat. "Why can’t I have peace for even a moment?"

She looked exhausted.

"I already have so many things on my mind. And now this..."

After a moment, she remembered something. "What about the search for the Lotus?"

Her personal guard straightened. "There is still no news."

He paused. "But our crew has already left with Princess Elena for Ignora."

Emelianna raised an eyebrow. "Ignora?"

"Yes. After the news spread that the Lotus was detected there, all the great clans sent their people."

He gave a helpless smile. "Ignara is going to be very lively soon."

Emelianna narrowed her eyes. "What if the news is fake?"

The guard looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"What if someone deliberately released the information to lure all the great clans to Ignora?"

Her expression became serious. "What if this is a scheme?"

"You don’t have to worry, Your Highness."

The guard calmly shook his head. "We sent Death Soldiers."

Emelianna glanced at him.

"They are expendable. Even if a few of them die, it won’t affect us."

Emelianna nodded slowly. "If we find the Lotus..."

She looked toward the stars outside the window. "Elena will be safe."

Before the guard could respond, the door suddenly opened.

An officer rushed inside. "Princess!"

Emelianna turned. "What is it?"

The officer immediately lowered his head.

"Princess Inaria of the Federick Family is on the line. She wants to say something to you and its urgent."

Emelianna frowned slightly.

"Inaria?"

Emelianna was scared if Inaria had found out her Beast husband had bought things for her recently. Maybe that’s why she called so urgently. Emelianna has already planned her response. She will say he was only trying to help a citizen. It’s his duty as a soldier.

The guard said. "She is requesting a holographic connection."

Emelianna waved her hand. "Put it through."

The officer opened his communicator.

A holographic screen appeared in front of them.

A female with Rabbit ears showed up. She appeared on the screen.

Princess Inaria Federick.

She immediately bowed her head. "Good day, Your Highness."

Her voice carried exhaustion. "I apologize for disturbing your peace."

Emelianna nodded. "There is no need to apologize. Tell me what happened."

Inaria took a deep breath. "My daughter’s Bloodline Rope was cut a few days ago."

Emelianna’s expression changed. "The Bloodline Rope?"

"Yes. We know it means death." Inaria clenched her hands. "And the Military never informed us."

Her voice trembled with anger. "They only notified us today."

Emelianna’s eyes narrowed. Inaria continued. "So we wish to sue them for negligence."

She took another breath before looking directly at Emelianna.

Inaria says. "We want the Astronova family’s help."

Her expression became serious. "Anything you want..."

She paused. "We will give you." she wiped her tears. "Please help me Princess Inaria. I need your help. She is my only daughter."
