Chapter 139: Imperial Princess

Juan gave up the idea of consulting with netizens, and he used his brain chip to connect with Morgan.

Juan informs Morgan about the blood-stained bread at the Goryeo SPC Bakery.

He then said: "We need legislation to prevent this from happening again."

"I suggest that you, as the Speaker, convene legislators and enact a Brave New World Labor Law to impose heavy penalties on entrepreneurs who ignore safety and cause death or injury to employees.

"I believe that with such a law, those entrepreneurs will not ignore production safety and force employees to work."

Morgan replied: "Great idea, but I don't have time right now." ”

"What are you busy with?"

"I'm preparing for Zerella's bar mitzvah."

"What, the goat girl is not an adult yet?"

"No, she's over the legal age, but she hasn't had a coming-of-age ceremony.

"Their Draenei custom is that they must have a coming-of-age ceremony before they can grow up.

"Otherwise, no matter how old you are, you can only be considered a baby."

"Giant babies? We humans have it too. But Morgan, she's too late anyway, it doesn't matter if it drags on for a few more days, and the matter of making laws is urgent, and if it drags on, it will probably kill people again. ”

"But I've promised Zerela, she's looking forward to it, and I can't bear to keep her waiting."

"Morgan, Morgan! Is a coming-of-age ceremony more important? ”

"Of course, Zerella's bar mig's ceremony is important."

"What? Morgan, I didn't expect to hear such words from you, I always thought you were a 'virgin'. ”

"Which eye do you see I'm a woman?"

"I mean, you've always had a good relationship with humanoids and treated them very well, but I didn't expect you to care about their lives or deaths."

"I have a good relationship with some people, I want to help them, and they want to help me.

"But I can't know all humanoids, so why should I sacrifice Zerela's coming-of-age ceremony for those humanoids I don't know?"

Juan cut off the communication with some annoyance, and he felt the need to talk to Zerella.

Connected to the building's surveillance through a brain chip, Juan easily found the lone Zerella.

He stopped the other man at the top of a staircase where no one was around.

"Zerela, you've been here for a while, and we haven't had a proper conversation."

"FΓΌhrer," said Zerela, bowing deferentially, "what do you want to say to me?" ”

"I think you have a lot of influence on Morgan, and he has become less like him used to be for you."

"Daddy Morgan? He's a nice guy and treats me well, so I want to help him as much as I can. ”

"Just helping?"

"Yes, I hope that through my help, my father can be more majestic and stronger, so that I can be safer when I am taken care of by him."

Juan didn't expect Zerella to be so direct.

"Looks like you've already guessed why I'm talking to you alone."

"Your Excellency, your thoughts are clearly displayed on your face, clearer than the stars in a clear night sky."

Juan subconsciously touched his face: "Is there one?" Is it really that obvious? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, my former servants are better at hiding their minds than you."

"Okay, then I'll be more direct, Zerella, what do you want?"

"I just want to be safe."

"Safe?" Juan scratched his hair, "Here, you're safe." ”

"No, it's not safe enough."

"So how do you feel safe?"

"I need enough distance so that those who might hurt me can't hurt me."

"What is a safe enough distance?"

"The people who come into close contact with me every day are completely reliable, the people who come into close contact with me are also completely reliable, and the people on the periphery are also completely reliable, so I am safe."

"This range is too big, for example, I just went to the elf town, and I have been in close contact with many types of people, most of whom I don't know, who knows if they are safe? Not to mention those who come into contact with them, as well as those who are more peripheral. ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to establish a perfect system, preferably similar to the pyramid structure of the Draenei Empire, where the emperor only has access to the closest ministers, and the ministers command the subordinate officials, and the officials then command the subordinate staff, and so on, down to the lower levels. Only in this way can the safety of the emperor be guaranteed. ”

"You told Morgan about this?"

"I just hope that he will protect me, and that such an organizational structure is good for my safety."

"You're thinking too much, Zerella, but no one wants to hurt you."

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

"Those who want to hurt you won't be stupid enough to take the initiative to tell you!

"They will lurk around you, even pretend to be nice to you, and then betray you and put you in a desperate situation when you are not looking!"

"Calm down, Zerella, I think you're a bit of a persecution paranoia, there is no such person, at least I've never seen one."

"But I've seen it!!

"They have always prostrated themselves deferentially at the feet of my father and my mother;

"They came up with all sorts of ways to please me and serve me like slaves.

"But in the blink of an eye, they took the heads of my father and mother, and signed a surrender treaty with the human army to betray the empire.

"And I, the princess of the Empire, became an item, mortgaged to the human army."

Juan now understands why the Central Intelligence Bureau, which is subordinate to the Ministry of War, neither killed nor released her, and hired a spaceship to send her to this remote planet in order to hide her secrets.

He said, "Zerela, you speak the human language very well, but you use the wrong word, it's not 'objects', it's called 'hostages.'" ”

Zereela shook her head and said, "No, it's not a hostage, it's an item, a mortgage item without dignity!"

"In front of everyone's eyes, stripped of my clothes and stuffed into an ice coffin, no one cares how I feel!"

Juan silently compares the chronology of the Human Alliance's crusade against the Draenei.

According to the official announcement of the total destruction of the Delaneei, of course, it should actually be the time when the military department privately negotiated peace with the Delaneei, and after calculation, the girl in front of her has been frozen in the ice coffin for more than 20 years.

With sympathy, he said, "So you've been frozen all these years? ”

Ezera wiped tears from her eyes and said, "I don't know, probably, when I regained consciousness, the first thing I saw was Daddy Morgan." ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of the tragic past, but Morgan and I are not military personnel who conspired with traitors to kill your parents."

"I know, Morgan told me, he told me about the organization of human government, what he saw and heard when he came to the beautiful planet, what he knew about you, and how your green hair was not dyed."

"What? He also said about my green hair! ”

"Yes, Daddy said you were black-haired."

Damn, that's unreserved.

Morgan, Morgan, even if you are a traitor who falls for the beauty scheme, you are not as honest as you.

Fortunately, Zerella is not an enemy.

Juan pulled the topic back: "Zerella, so you should be clear that here, you are not a princess of the Delaney Empire, nor are you a hostage.

"You are you, an uninvited guest.

"No one will care about you except Morgan, and no one will hurt you.

"So, let go of your worries and you can live a little easier."

"But I'm scared ......"

"Don't be afraid, Zerella, and don't try to build any absolutely safe defenses.

"Think of the ministers who betrayed your father, they were originally part of the Absolute Security Defense Circle, but did they bring safety?"

Zerella bowed her head silently.

"There is no such thing as absolute security in this world, Zerella, you need to be a little more adventurous, just like me, as long as the interests are sufficient, I am not afraid of any danger."

Seeming convinced, Zerella looked up into Juan's eyes and said:

"If you can keep me safe, I'm willing to offer you my loyalty."

Well, Juan thought, still unconvinced.

But at least, everything is under control.
