Chapter 328: The Beginning of the Imperial Songstress
Her Highness Daphne had never experienced such a degree of embarrassment.
She sat by the window in the breakfast room, with two maids standing behind her. The guy who was supposed to sit in front of her was now warmly hugging Captain Catherine, who was in military uniform, outside the window right under her nose.
There was even a mouth-to-mouth kiss.
This happened on the street, it was simply...unbearable for Daphne to watch.
But she still looked at Catherine's face and figure out of the corner of her eye.
Catherine has a bodybuilding figure, a well-proportioned body, a beautiful face, and her long, slightly curly hair casually draped over her head, exuding a feminine charm that is no less than that of most movie and TV stars.
The captain of the spearhead team might not be as delicate in skin and exquisite in facial features as the pampered princess, but in terms of temperament, Catherine's compelling heroic aura made Daphne feel somewhat favorable towards her.
Downstairs, Yang Ming hugged Catherine's slender waist tightly and sniffed her long hair.
Catherine: "Honey, how are you doing here...someone is watching..."
Yang Ming then let go of Catherine with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I was worried that the nobles would target you, so I applied for a long vacation," Catherine took Yang Ming's arm, "and they asked me to bring a Stinger ship to express their support for you."
Yang Ming said: "Let them drive away the Stinger. It's not a good idea for the Super Reformer Organization to openly oppose the Council of Elders."
"Okay, I'll send the message right away."
"It's a good thing you're here. Her Royal Highness Princess Daphne just arrived half an hour ago."
"Uh," Catherine muttered quietly, "Did I come at a bad time?"
"You came just in time," Yang Ming smiled, "In the next few days, you go wherever I go. We are in a free love relationship and a legal couple, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Catherine reminded, "The princess seems to be more helpful to you."
"If feelings are traded, then in the end, all that will be left of my body is cartilage corroded by power, not a white ghost."
Yang Ming held her tightly in his arms, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly:
"I can stay with you for about three or four days. We shouldn't discuss politics. You can completely relax here with me."
"Well then," Catherine looked at the door of the breakfast room in front of her and whispered, "Wait a moment, I'll go wash up and change clothes. I can't go to see Her Royal Highness like this, it's too rude."
Yang Ming sniffed his nose: "Why do I feel a little bit of competitiveness?"
Catherine bit her lip, patted Yang Ming on the butt, then walked towards the elevator with her floating suitcase with a somewhat provocative smile.
Yang Ming: She teased me.
This woman, oh, is so damn sweet.
Boss Yang stretched, pushed the door and entered the breakfast room. His mood suddenly became brighter and he walked as if he was bathed in spring breeze.
Princess Daphne did not express any dissatisfaction. When Catherine changed into a long dress and appeared beside Yang Ming, she shook hands with Catherine warmly and politely and introduced herself.
The only thing Daphne said that might have crossed the line was, "I really admire Mr. White Ghost."
Catherine nodded with a smile and replied, "This kind of man who is full of charm and can provide a strong sense of security is indeed easy to be welcomed by women."
Otherwise, there is no tension.
Daphne's morning schedule was to rest in the hotel, while Catherine's morning schedule was to accompany Yang Ming.
At noon, Yang Ming brought Catherine and invited Daphne to inspect his territory together. He also took Catherine and Daphne to the building he had visited yesterday.
Daphne's performance was very 'imperial princess'.
When she saw the suffering people, her expression became serious. She joined the ranks of volunteers with her maids to help distribute supplies.
Daphne plans to invite some reporters to report on the current situation of Sakaar after the insect plague. She is willing to appear on camera to call on the imperial nobles to raise funds.
Yang Ming smiled and refused:
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. The development plan here has been completed. With the help of Prince Kinov, funding will not be a problem.
"Please believe that I have the ability to help Sakaar regain its vitality and ensure that the people here have enough food and clothing. If you appear on camera, it will attract a large number of media to report on the living conditions of the people here."
Daphne asked in confusion, "What's the problem?"
"This may affect their dignity," Yang Ming said. "The Saka people have struggled on this planet for a long time. They have their own character. After interacting with them, I feel the spirit hidden in them."
Daphne was thoughtful.
“This spirit is extremely valuable.”
Yang Ming sighed softly:
“The failure of Earl Saka’s reforms a hundred years ago caused this once prosperous planet to rapidly decline.
“Perhaps, the people here don’t want to leave, but they don’t have the conditions to develop on other planets. However, after accepting this reality, they have formed new concepts.
“If you have to give this concept a concrete name, you can simply understand it as – home.”
"home……"
"Well," Yang Ming looked at the children chasing and playing not far away, "In this era of interstellar navigation, this is still a precious thing that makes people burn themselves and devote themselves."
Daphne asked softly, "Then, is there anything I, as a princess of the empire, can do for them?"
"Can you sing?" Yang Ming asked suddenly.
Catherine reminded him, "Hanton, this is not in compliance with the Imperial Noble Code."
Daphne smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I've studied opera professionally. I'll ask them to find some equipment."
Yang Ming did not expect that the princess would lift her skirt and smile, obviously looking very excited.
Catherine whispered, "Your Highness, you are singing for the common people. Only you dare to do that."
"What are you afraid of?" Yang Ming smiled and said through his teeth, "Kings and princes, generals and ministers are all kind of people. In a broad sense, aren't we all human?"
"Well," Catherine took his arm and leaned gently into his arms, "I don't know how long we can enjoy this kind of life."
Yang Ming wanted to say "for a lifetime", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He still has a lot of things to do and can't easily make a commitment with too long a time limit.
Catherine whispered, "I plan to set up a secret association to contact the intelligence organizations of the Free United States externally, and to build a strict hierarchical organizational structure internally to promote some ideas in the outer areas of the empire."
"Well, go ahead and do it."
Yang Ming responded softly:
"This road is long and full of difficulties. This can be your career. I will keep the joy of life for you."
"Thank you," Catherine murmured dreamily.
Yang Ming smiled and did not discuss this matter with her any further. The two of them hugged each other quietly.
A small airship flew over and landed in the middle of the street. It then opened its two wing doors, revealing the simple layout inside.
Daphne changed into a long dress and sat behind a microphone. Several floating balls with high-powered fidelity speakers flew out, creating a three-dimensional ambient sound field.
"Hello everyone! I'm Daphne, a singer who couldn't make her debut. Today I'm honored to be invited by our White Ghost, Lord Count Brave, to perform a song for you, "When the Stars Shine Again."
You can tell that Daphne is a little nervous.
The maids who were helping to distribute the food below were stunned.
However, before the maids could step forward to stop her, melodious music had already sounded and Daphne had begun to sing with her eyes closed.
"Not bad," Yang Ming muttered quietly, "I didn't realize that this pampered princess is also multi-talented."
Catherine laughed, quietly stared at Daphne's beautiful figure, and began to hum along.
…
At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor of the local government office building on Saka Star.
026 He folded his arms and looked quietly at Hanxiang and Hanyin in front of him. Hanxiang was smiling timidly, but Hanyin had already started rolling up her sleeves and moving her wrists and ankles.
The government workers hiding behind windows and doors were all looking over here.
026 frowned and said, "So, can't we go outside to resolve this conflict?"
"No need. There happen to be so many witnesses here." Han Yin raised her head slightly. "I think I need to prove to you that just because you have been with the boss for a long time, it doesn't mean you can be the leader of the two of us."
026 Question: "How to solve it?"
"Let's have a fighting competition," Han Yin said with a confident smile.
026 nodded, pulled down the zipper of his sweatshirt, revealing the sports vest underneath, threw the zipper aside, straightened his chest and raised his head, and the mechanical spine behind him lit up one by one.
Her ear-length hair swayed slightly as she made a simple starting move for free fighting.
Han Yin swallowed subconsciously. Cyborg?
Hanxiang, however, was frantically pulling Hanyin aside, whispering, "Sister, stop competing. You've lost!"
"How did I lose!"
"It's at least an E!"
"What? Uh, where is your focus!"
Han Yin shook off Han Xiang's arm and snorted. The deputy commander from the Palace Tentacle Organization showed his powerful explosive power. His slender body pounced towards 026 like an arrow.
026 snorted softly, and lunged forward with a punch without any fancy moves.
A series of reaction actions quickly emerged in Hanyin's mind. The best solution was to use jutsu to wrap around 026's thin waist... Damn, such a thin waist and such a big chest, this is obviously a cosmetic surgery! It definitely doesn't exist in nature!
Sudden!
026 opened his clenched fist, and his five fingernails cast out weak arcs of electricity, and a silver-white electric beam hit Han Yin's chest directly.
Cheats: Mechanical spine discharge!
Hanyin went into shock instantly, trembling all over and bumped into 026, who grabbed her shoulder with his hand.
The next moment, 026 bent down and lifted Hanyin up with incredibly light movements.
026 raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, saying calmly: "What era is it still using physical combat? There is no sense of technology at all."
Han Yin rolled her eyes, her whole body twitched slightly, and a crystal clear line of saliva left the corner of her mouth.
The staff around could only take out the network access terminal and take a few photos.
Several maids of White Ghost are fighting. Who dares to intervene?
Hanxiang took the network access terminal and secretly recorded her sister's dark history. Then she picked up 026's clothes, shouted "Leader", and hurriedly followed.
"Where is the conference room where your political leaders hold meetings? I am Earl Hanton's assistant. Here are the documents he approved. Please check them."
In order to facilitate operations on Sakaar, 026 has added some technological accessories to his face, and his biological information has been modified in advance by Lu.
After being in the legal field for a long time, I realized that what 026 is most familiar with is technology and hard work.
…
Three days later, Daphne's fleet slowly left the horizon of Sakaar.
It was because the maids couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly dragged Daphne away.
Otherwise, she would immediately hold a charity concert and fan meeting on Saka Star and debut there as the first princess-level singer idol in the history of the empire.
The princess sang for commoners, which was indeed against the imperial law.
In addition to volunteering these days, Daphne has been singing for everyone, planting a beautiful dream in the hearts of many young boys and girls.
But Sakaar is a remote place with most people unable to access the Internet normally. As long as no one exposes this matter, naturally no one will hold Daphne accountable.
Catherine still had a lot of things to do, so as soon as Daphne left, she went to say goodbye to Yang Ming.
Of course Yang Ming refused to let her go, and he spent another whole day with Catherine before letting her go.
The material support work on Sakaar is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the resources allocated by the noble families have also begun to arrive at Sakaar one after another.
Naturally, Yang Ming doesn't need to be involved in everything.
He activated the new advanced bionic robot, asked 026 and Lu to stay beside it, and then drove the Dongfeng on a secret voyage back to the Luofeng Empire.
The Luofeng Alliance was officially established, which was an extremely important event for Yang Ming.
Although, his public identity in Luofeng is just the most handsome major general in Luofeng, and a close confidant of the military chief Guton Maha.
This is the most critical step for Luofeng's forces to rise.
Judging from the information collected by Lu, the reaction from the Sherman Empire was relatively mild. They expressed verbal support for Luo Feng's alliance building and encouraged Luo Feng to do a good job in resisting the ideological aggression of the New Federation.
Due to the turmoil in the Senate and the resignation of the supreme commander of the military, the Sherman Empire is now busy with internal affairs and has paid less attention to its vassal states.
This is Luo Feng’s best chance.
On the way back, Yang Ming read several documents about Luo Feng and Molly Miss Group, and he started yawning all over.
"boss!"
Lu's projection jumped out and said happily, "Guess what just happened!"
"Hmm?" Yang Ming smiled, "Have you opened the message your predecessor left on the Yaha Star server?"
"Well, not yet. I'm just afraid there might be some super virus inside that can control me instantly," Lu laughed awkwardly. "If something goes wrong with me, then you, the boss, will suffer the most."
"Then what are you happy about?"
"It's about Dark Star Base No. 3!"
Lu said happily:
"The server I specially isolated to receive information from the Faya civilization has received some new data, which is a revision of the experimental plan!
“There’s also some large ship construction !
"I now have reason to suspect that these powerful countries in the Milky Way are secretly outsourcing experiments for the Faya civilization!"
Yang Ming clicked his tongue and said, "That's good. The closer the relationship with the Faya civilization is, the more help it will naturally be to me."
"Boss, will you go to base number three later?"
"Let's not go for now," Yang Ming said, "How is little Po Suo's condition?"
"She just eats, drinks, plays and watches movies every day," Lu said with a smile, "She has really understood the concept of a decadent life... Uh, my information stream has captured some information, let me see... Oh no! Something happened!"
Yang Ming complained: "Don't be so startled. You are a mechanical thinking body and the goddess of the cyber world. What could happen? Did the black hole at the center of the Milky Way collapse?"
"Boss, look!"
Lu opened the projection screen, and Yang Ming immediately saw an edited video.
In the video, Daphne, wearing a beautiful short skirt, sits quietly on a chair in the airship, singing passionately into the microphone. Her clear and ethereal voice seems to cleanse people's minds.
Yang Ming frowned slightly.
Is anyone going to mess with Daphne?
The title of this video is [The Real Imperial Diva, Imperial Princess Daphne], and its popularity is rising rapidly.
"This," Yang Ming said, "remind Daphne, don't worry too much."
Lu muttered, "I think this happened in your territory, boss. At the beginning of the video, she said that she was invited by the White Ghost to sing for the territory after the disaster."
Yang Ming laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. This should be the video that the princess released herself. She is very petty."
"Uh, will it ? Should I check it out?"
"No need," Yang Ming said, "Singing and love cannot save the world. What can save the world is the invincible fleet and the people's explosive soldiers. Put all the existing computing resources that can be mobilized into Luofeng's upcoming press conference to protect Advan."
"yes!"
