Chapter 147 Shadow
There are usually three steps to complete a plan: formulation, preparation, and implementation.
After Princess Dana was insulted by the intelligent robot named Emperor, she began to prepare a revenge plan, but the plan was hindered and stuck at the preparation stage.
Ever since the war in which the New Federation's long-distance fleet attacked the Luofeng Empire's palace, the entire palace has been closely protected by the Royal Guard controlled by General Felimon, and the strictest security level has been implemented.
Princess Daina had no way of summoning the rest of her team to the palace.
After several setbacks, Princess Dana began to waver.
During this period, the old emperor tried to approach her several times, wanting to continue to conquer this beautiful woman, but she avoided him with various reasons.
Princess Dana began to have nightmares.
She felt like she had fallen into the deep sea, oppressed by this cold palace and unable to breathe. She could only get some weak comfort from her personal maid.
Finally, today, Princess Dana once again tried to gather the other team members. Those members of the Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau who married into the Luofeng noble family successfully entered the palace.
Princess Dana certainly didn't know that this was arranged by Yang Ming, but Princess Dana finally completed the preparations for her revenge plan.
A small lunch was held in Princess Daina's bedroom. Including the princess and her personal maid, a total of six women drank some wine, and then some physical contact began.
Princess Daina's maid walked out of the bedroom with blurry eyes and asked the guards to leave temporarily. No one could get close to the princess' bedroom.
The guards reported the news to the headquarters. General Philemon thought for a few seconds and then issued an order for everyone to evacuate. The corridors near the bedroom were quickly cleared.
This kind of thing...
Although it is not common in the palace, it does happen occasionally.
After all, the emperor is too old.
When the guards outside the door left, the maid opened the biometric lock of the bedroom door; Princess Diane and her team members rushed to the emperor's bedroom through the secret passage.
The old emperor, who was enjoying the striptease of his maid, heard Princess Dana's call.
'We can probably talk, we have to rebuild trust... Yes, I can compromise with you, but you have to obey my orders again, it didn't feel that bad last time.'
The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, dismissed the maids on both sides, and left the bedroom empty.
Princess Daina walked out of the secret passage and arrived in front of the throne.
The old emperor smiled with his eyes narrowed.
He lifted up his loose robe, revealing his naked lower body, and gestured to Princess Daina.
Princess Daina knelt obediently before the old emperor.
The old emperor reached out to touch her head, and suddenly a metal rod slipped out of Princess Dana's sleeve. She grabbed the metal rod and smashed it hard on the old emperor's ankle. The old emperor had no time to dodge, his body twitched violently several times, and he fell backwards.
'Filthy thing!'
Princess Daina stood up, lifted her skirt, and kicked the old emperor viciously in the lower body.
The five women quickly walked out of the secret passage and took out some portable instruments. The old emperor soon opened his eyes woodenly and regained his ability to move. Surrounded by them, he entered the secret passage and went to Princess Dana's bedroom.
In just a few minutes, the old emperor was carried to Princess Dana's bed.
The maid pushed a wardrobe over, and several women took out a large number of electronic devices from it and quickly began to restart the intelligent machine.
They were shocked by the development, and the internal logic program of the intelligent machine underwent amazing changes.
Princess Daina kept giving orders.
"Format his motor core components and make him paralyzed in bed from now on. Luofeng no longer needs this garbage! Prince Edwan is enough."
"Retrieve his memory bank and back up all the data."
"Remember, only we know about this matter, otherwise we will definitely be punished. When his term ends, we will destroy him directly, and then you can return to your homeland directly. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
But when they touched the old emperor's core database, the old emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and two red lights burst out of his pupils.
This was something Princess Dana and others had not expected.
The old emperor tore off the instrument probe on his body and was about to sit up with a growl.
Princess Dana rushed forward in panic.
"Hold him down! Destroy his core library!"
Several women nearby reacted quickly and pressed hard on the old emperor's joints. The maid who had witnessed Princess Dana being insulted, perhaps to atone her sins, threw herself on the old emperor and pressed down the legs of the intelligent machine with her body weight.
Princess Daina grabbed a thick power cord, put it around the old emperor's neck, stepped on the edge of the mattress with her left foot, and pulled her body backwards.
The old emperor was struggling violently.
It is unwilling to be sentenced to death today.
Although the women were not strong enough, they had clear division of labor and did everything they could to prevent the old emperor from escaping, which would likely have had more serious consequences.
After all, this is the nominal emperor of a country.
Sudden……
"Mother?"
A hoarse, childish voice sounded.
Princess Daina was stunned.
She turned her head to look towards the palace gate and saw Emilia in her nightgown, holding a teddy bear, and two maids who had just arrived, their eyes full of fear.
"Emilia..."
Princess Dana loosened her fingers, and the old emperor's robot seized the opportunity, suddenly threw the maid off his body, and rushed to the entrance of the secret passage with several instruments.
clatter.
Emilia's teddy bear fell to the ground.
Princess Daina suddenly remembered at this time that her daughter's bedroom was nearby, and Emilia had the right to enter and exit her bedroom.
…
After casting the video.
Yang Ming raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling powerless to complain.
This princess's execution ability is too poor!
"Boss, the palace's external network has been blocked. General Felimon sent a communication."
"Please bring it in."
Yang Ming responded somewhat irritably.
A bust of General Felimon appeared in front of Yang Ming, whispering, "Something went wrong..."
"I know what happened. Are Emilia's two maids under control?"
"It's under control," General Felimon was a little surprised, and then he immediately said, " I have suppressed the news. Princess Dana intends to assassinate His Majesty. If this matter ferments...Princess Dana has a noble background in the Sherman Empire. In the past minute, our Majesty has summoned me three times in a row. I wanted to inform His Majesty Adwan, but the communication from His Majesty Adwan was suddenly cut off."
Yang Ming immediately said, "Don't let Edwang know about this. I was the one who cut off the communication with him."
"this……"
"General, wait for me in the palace, I'll be there soon," Yang Ming said, "From now on, no matter what method you use, you must delay His Highness Edwang from entering the palace."
"I am loyal to His Highness Adwant," Felimon whispered, "I think you should understand this."
"I can turn the palace into complete ruins within three minutes, and you can't open half of the palace's protective shield," Yang Ming said coldly, "I think you should understand this."
Philemon caught his breath.
Yang Ming stood up, took the Luofeng military uniform handed to him by his robot substitute, and put it on over his shirt.
"General Felimon, please consider His Highness Adwan's temperament," Yang Ming said, "There are some things we need to learn to make our own decisions. I will show you a secret later."
Felimon nodded slowly: "Yes, you have the final say now."
Yang Ming put on his military boots and walked out.
General Philemon hung up the phone silently, held his hand and thought carefully for a while, then quickly issued an order.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace, who was dating a noble lady in the cozy lounge on the upper floor of the prison, was dragged out of the gentle embrace by Yang Ming, causing the half-dressed noble lady to scream repeatedly.
Yang Ming needs a driver and a pass.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace performed quite well during the last New Federation attack on the Imperial Palace. At least his driving skills were quite mature.
Outside the atmosphere of Ilando, the Fourth Fleet's three cruisers and two battleships formed a formation and began to remain relatively stationary with the Imperial Palace.
Edwan, who was in a meeting, received some news. When he was about to leave for the palace, new news came.
"Your Majesty had a little dispute with the princess. His Majesty seemed to be doing something bad to the princess, but now he has been persuaded by General Felimon. It's just a simple matter..."
Adwang frowned tightly and after a slight hesitation, he chose to continue presiding over the economic meeting.
This meeting is very important to the Luofeng Empire.
'Just a little family conflict, we can deal with it later.'
Half an hour later.
Yang Ming pushed open the car door and stepped into the gate of the inner court of the imperial palace. General Philemon stepped forward to greet him, and more than a dozen of his trusted officers saluted at the same time.
General Philemon was also stunned when he saw that there was no guard behind Yang Ming.
"Major Yang Ming," Felimon frowned, "Do you trust me so much? It may not be wise for you to appear here alone at such a sensitive moment."
Yang Ming smiled and patted General Felimon on the shoulder: "Why shouldn't I trust you? You will make a wise choice for this country."
"We seem to have had a conflict of opinion just now."
"Even partners who trust each other will have disagreements sometimes, not to mention the age gap between us."
Yang Ming raised an eyebrow at Felimon.
General Philemon shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really think this is the time for you young people. Your courage and determination make me feel confident... Come with me. The situation is not optimistic. Our Majesty seems to have gone crazy ."
"We'll talk as we go."
Yang Ming said in a deep voice, nodded to the officers, and walked into the palace side by side with Felimon.
In the eyes of these officers, there was no sense of incongruity when Yang Ming, a young officer, walked beside General Feremon, who had gray hair and a strong aura.
Philemon whispered:
"His Majesty the Emperor has moved more than 500 mechanical guards into his bedroom, filling it completely with armor.
“Princess Daina and Princess Emilia tried to leave the palace, but I stopped them. I placed them in the lounge in the corner.
"The palace's external communications have been completely cut off...Did you do the right thing?"
"Well," Yang Ming thought for a moment, "Let's go visit Princess Dana and Her Royal Highness the Princess first."
"This way."
General Philemon made a gesture of invitation, took Yang Ming around, and pushed open the door of a lounge.
The interior of the palace is magnificent everywhere, except for the lounge prepared for the guards on duty.
When Yang Ming arrived, Princess Dana and several young noble ladies were standing in the corner. They looked anxious, with worries between their brows, and they were all facing the corner.
Emilia curled up in the corner, her eyes dull. She was only thirteen years old and could not accept what she had seen.
"General Philemon!" Princess Dana rushed over immediately, "My daughter and I must leave here immediately... Uh, Major Yang Ming?"
Felimon stepped aside, revealing Yang Ming with a serious face.
Princess Dana only felt that she saw a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
Yang Ming made a gesture, and Felimon turned around and closed the door of the lounge.
"Princess, before you do these things, don't you prepare a few laser guns?"
"W-what are you talking about?"
Yang Ming took a step forward. Princess Daina's plump body trembled, and she stepped back subconsciously.
"The palace has been under my surveillance for a long time," Yang Ming said slowly, "I will not allow anyone to take away the throne that belongs to Edwang. Not you, not the old emperor. If you don't have my permission, do you think your actions will go smoothly?"
General Philemon shrugged slightly.
Princess Dana retreated to the sofa. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She whispered, "You have to understand who you are talking to!"
Yang Ming said calmly: "The hidden spy of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, Dana Neves, is the adopted daughter of Count Mensa. Of course, she is announced to the outside world as Count Mensa's biological daughter."
Princess Dana's pretty face turned a little pale.
"You have to understand," Yang Ming said slowly, "the intelligence organizations of the New Federation were all defeated by Adwant and I. I just don't want Adwant to have too much disgust towards the powerful Sherman Empire. This is a job for you. Now there is a huge flaw in your work. You may be silenced by your boss, right? The Empire does not allow such scandals."
"Enough!" Princess Daina yelled, "Tell me what you want to do! I'm fed up with you self-righteous guys!"
"I don't want to do anything," Yang Ming took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "We can cooperate."
Dana was stunned.
Yang Ming took the initiative to grab Princess Dana's right hand, and regardless of her subconscious struggle, he lowered his head and kissed her hand.
This was common etiquette in Sherman's Empire.
"I am a staunch Adwanist and a friend of your daughter."
Yang Ming said with a firm gaze:
“I’m here in part because of the trauma your daughter is experiencing.
“She is the last family member for Adwan.
"If you want to make up for her trauma, you have to tell her the truth. Your daughter just can't accept her parents' murder. From what I know about her, she can accept the truth."
Princess Daina trembled and said, "This, this is impossible! What do you know?"
Yang Ming mentioned a date and time.
Princess Daina's pupils trembled. That was the exact moment when she was insulted by the omnic.
"I've said before that the palace is always under my surveillance, every corner of it," Yang Ming said, "Whether this matter is made public or known to a small circle, you can make a choice now. I respect your status as Emilia's guardian."
Princess Diane swallowed.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.
The young man in front of her was a beast, a beast that could dismember her!
"You... maybe you can help me comfort her, Your Excellency the Viscount."
Princess Daina lowered her head and walked aside, facing the wall, and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.
The women in front retreated to the left and right, each looking at Yang Ming warily.
Yang Ming took a few steps forward, leaned closer to Emilia, and gently rubbed her head.
"The bounty hunter is here and can help you solve all your problems. How much pocket money have you saved?"
Emilia's lips trembled, she slowly raised her head, a gleam of light gradually appeared in her eyes, her eye sockets began to turn red quickly, but she tried her best to endure it.
She asked in a hoarse voice: "Can you provide memory erasure services?"
"Yes, but my memory erasure surgery is not as advanced as that of the New Federation," Yang Ming said, "I can help you get out of this nightmare. There are many things your mother can't explain to you. She didn't do anything wrong. When you know the truth, you will understand her and support her."
Princess Daina turned her head in surprise.
“But…but…”
"Come with me," Yang Ming said, "I'll help you for free this time at a loss, and the next time, it will be a different price."
Emilia looked at the big hand stretched out in front of her, the black leather gloves were slightly warm.
Without hesitation, she tightly grasped Yang Ming's little finger and was pulled out of the shadowy corner by Yang Ming.
