Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 288: Repaying a Favor (1)

The commander received a call from Gene in the Huanglan Star Region and hurried back to the imperial capital overnight. When he arrived at the mansion, it was still dark, so Lu Xiu went back to the study to listen to Gene's detailed report.

Gene followed the commander into the study, closed the door, and stood at attention in front of Lu Xiu's desk.

"Your Highness, in the early morning, the Queen of Donglian woke up in the military hospital. As soon as she woke up, she asked to see you and asked to move to your mansion to recuperate. What do you think..."

"Has her injury been reported in the media?"

Gene nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. There are reporters in the team led by the Queen of the Eastern Alliance. They posted the news on the interstellar website as soon as possible. Now the media in major galaxies have reprinted and reported it. There are still many media stationed outside the military hospital."

"What did you write?"

"There are many types of articles. The media in the Eastern Union mainly praises the benevolence of the Eastern Union Queen and says that she has the spirit of selflessness. The media here mainly say that she is seeking marriage in order to win your favor. Other media outside also wrote nonsense, saying that "saving people" is just a cover. The real reason for the injury of the Eastern Union Queen is that the Leeds system is not as peaceful and stable as advertised to the outside world. This time it was caused by a premeditated riot in our system. There are also comparisons and analyses one by one. Reading it makes people feel that it is more real than the truth..."

Lu Xiu scratched his hair in a headache: "Wherever this woman goes, she brings trouble."

Jean followed the commander's words and said, "Who says it's not true... She has made our galaxy a mess in the past few days since she came here. Everywhere, the opinion magazines are talking about her. The Queen of the Eastern Union even appeared on a talk show, talking about the values of marriage and love. Many people raised flags to protest near the hotel where she was staying, saying that she instilled biased ideas in children. In order to disperse the people, the gendarmerie was dispatched several times..."

Lu Xiu tapped the table a few times in annoyance. "I finally got a vacation, but now it's ruined... After all, Jane Dibeth was injured in the Leeds Galaxy. Let her move into my mansion to recuperate. We still have to save face and not give the people from the Eastern Alliance an excuse."

Gene nodded "yes".

"How's things going with Asheni?" Lu Xiu asked again.

"Miss Asene was taken back to the mansion by His Highness Sid yesterday. She is fine, but she is in a bad mood. A classmate had an argument with her, and she ran away from home in anger."

Lu Xiu was amused by the words "running away from home": "She usually looks so well-behaved, but she actually ran away from home. Her temper is exactly the same as Des's..."

Lu Xiu thought about it and found it funny again, so he asked Gene, "What happened specifically? Please explain it in detail."

"Yes, Your Highness," Gene organized his words and replied, "Miss Arseny sneaked out of her apartment in the Pingding District after school and walked all the way to the Capitol Square. She met the carriage of the Queen of Eastern Union in the square. She was worried that she had run away from home and was discovered, and the Imperial Guards would be sent out to catch her, so she climbed up the statue in the square and prepared to fight the Imperial Guards. The Queen saw her, a child, climbing to such a high place from the car, so she sent someone to check and got off the car herself. Unexpectedly, when Miss Arseny saw the Imperial Guards coming, she was so nervous that she accidentally fell off the statue..."
