Chapter 139 Imperial Princess
Juan gave up the idea of asking netizens for consultation. He used his brain chip to connect with Morgan.
Juan informed Morgan about the blood-stained bread in the Korean spc bakery.
He then said: “We need legislation to prevent this from happening again.
"I suggest that you, as the Speaker, convene members to formulate a Brave New World Labor Law, which will impose heavy penalties on entrepreneurs who ignore safety and cause death or injury to employees.
"I believe that with the existence of such a law, those entrepreneurs will not ignore production safety and force employees to work."
Morgan replied: "It's a nice idea, but I don't have time right now."
"What are you busy with?"
"I'm preparing for Zerella's coming-of-age ceremony."
"What, that Yangniu is not yet an adult?"
"No, she is already over the legal age, but she has never had an adult ceremony.
"The Draenei custom is that they must go through an adult ceremony before they become adults.
"Otherwise, no matter how old you are, you can only be considered a baby."
"Giant babies? We humans also have them. But Morgan, she's already late anyway. It doesn't matter if she delays it for a few more days. The matter of enacting laws is very urgent, and if we delay it, more people may die."
"But I have already promised Zerella, and she is looking forward to it. I really can't bear to make her wait any longer."
"Morgan, Morgan! What's more important, the rite of passage or human life?"
"Of course it's Zerella's coming-of-age ceremony that's important."
"What? Morgan, I really didn't expect to hear such words from you. I always thought you were a 'Madonna'."
"Which of your eyes can tell that I am a woman?"
"What I mean is that you have always had a good relationship with humanoids and treated them very well. I didn't expect that you would actually ignore their life and death."
"I have a very good relationship with some people. I am willing to help them, and they are willing to help me.
"But I can't possibly know all the humanoids. Why should I sacrifice Zerila's coming-of-age ceremony for those humanoids I don't know?"
Juan cut off the communication with some annoyance, feeling the need to talk to Zerella.
Through the brain chip connected to the building surveillance, Juan easily found Zerella who was alone.
He stopped the other party at a deserted staircase.
"Zerella, you have been here for a while, and we have never had a good talk."
"Führer Saint Ann," Zerella bowed respectfully, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I think you have a great influence on Morgan. Because of you, he is no longer what he was before."
"Daddy Morgan? He is a good man and treats me very well, so I want to help him as much as possible."
"Just help?"
"Yes, I hope that with my help, I can make my father more majestic and powerful, so that I, being taken care of by him, can be safer."
Juan didn't expect Zerella to be so direct.
"It seems that you have guessed why I want to talk to you alone."
"Your Majesty the Head of State, your thoughts are clearly shown on your face, clearer than the stars in the clear night sky."
Juan touched his face subconsciously: "Is it true? Is it really that obvious?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Head of State, all my former servants are better at hiding their thoughts than you."
"Okay, let me be direct, Zerella, what do you want?"
"I just want to be safe."
"Safe?" Juan scratched his hair, "You are safe here."
"No, it's not safe enough."
"So how do you feel safe?"
"I need enough distance so that those who may hurt me cannot 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. The people on the periphery are also completely reliable. In this way, I am safe."
"This range is too big. For example, I just went to the Elf Town and had close contact with many types of people. I don't know most of them. Who knows if they are safe? Let alone those who have come into contact with them.
, and more peripheral ones.”
"So a complete system must be established, preferably similar to the pyramid structure of the Draenei Empire. The emperor only has contact with the closest ministers. The ministers command lower-level officials, and the officials then command lower-level staff, and so on, level by level, until the people at the bottom. Only.
In this way, the emperor's safety can be guaranteed."
"You told Morgan this?"
"I just hope he can protect me. This organizational structure is conducive to my safety."
"You are thinking too much, Zerella. In fact, no one wants to hurt you."
“Just because you don’t know it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!
"Those who want to hurt you are not stupid enough to tell you!
"They will lurk around you, even pretend to be nice to you, and then betray you when you are not paying attention, leaving you in a desperate situation!"
"Calm down, Zerella, I think you are a bit paranoid about persecution. In fact, there is no such person, at least I have never seen him."
“But I’ve seen it!!
“They have always prostrated themselves submissively at the feet of my father and mother;
"They tried every means to please me and served 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 betraying the empire.
"And I, the Imperial Princess, became an object, mortgaged to the human army."
Juan now understood why the Central Intelligence Agency, which was affiliated with the military, neither killed Zerella nor released her, and hired a spaceship to send her to this remote planet in order to hide the secret.
He said: "Zerella, you speak human language very well, but you used the wrong word. It's not called 'object', it's called 'hostage'."
Zerila shook her head and said: "No, it's not a hostage, it's an item, a mortgaged item without dignity!
"In full view of everyone, I was stripped of my clothes and stuffed into an ice coffin. No one cared about my feelings!"
Juan silently compared the chronology of the Human Alliance's crusade against the Draenei.
According to the official announcement of the annihilation of the draenei, of course, it should actually be the time when the military department privately negotiated peace with the draenei. After calculation, the girl in front of me has been frozen in the ice coffin for more than 20 years.
He said sympathetically: "So you've been frozen all these years?"
Zerella wiped away tears and said, "I don't know, maybe. After I regained consciousness, the first person I saw was Father Morgan."
"I'm sorry to remind you of the tragic past, but Morgan and I are not military personnel who collaborated with traitors to kill your parents."
"I know, Morgan told me everything. He told me about the organizational structure of human government, what he saw and heard when he came to the beautiful planet, how he met you, and how your green hair was not dyed.
"
"What? He also said something about my green hair!"
"Yes, dad said you turned out to have black hair."
Damn it, that’s without reservation.
Morgan, Morgan, even the traitor who fell into the honey trap would not be as honest as you.
Fortunately, Zerella is not an enemy.
Juan brought the topic back: "Zerella, so you should know that here, you are not the princess of the Draenei Empire, nor are you a hostage.
"You are what you are, an uninvited guest.
"Except for Morgan, no one will care about you, and no one will hurt you.
"So, let go of your worries and you can live a little easier."
"But I'm afraid..."
"There is no need to be afraid, Zerella, and stop trying to build an absolutely safe defensive circle.
"Think about the ministers who betrayed your father. They were originally members of the absolute security defense circle, but did they bring security?"
Zerella lowered her head in silence.
"There is no absolute safety in this world, Zerella, you need to be more adventurous, just like me, as long as the benefits are sufficient, I am not afraid of any danger."
Zerella seemed convinced. She looked up into Juan's eyes and said:
"If you can guarantee my safety, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you."
Well, Juan thought, still not convinced.
But at least, everything is under control.
Chapter completed!
