GoE 17 Elle's Plan
-playlist chapter: The Plan by Travis Scott
...
Elle excused herself for a few hours to the Elder Prince. Elle felt very sleepy and her body couldn't be forced to hold on any longer. Elle needs sleep.
For no less than three hours Elle slept very soundly. In the past few days, Elle felt like this was her most quality sleep time. Elle was happy to have earned the trust of the Elder Prince.
In the dream...
"Gaining the trust of the Elder Prince is only the first step. However, you have to be careful and stay alert. Elle, there isn't any human who doesn't have intentions behind their actions. Because we too must hurry to find the five Black Pearls before leaving this planet." said Etter in a dream.
"Leaving the planet Paddu? How can we do that?" Elle shrieked, still tired.
"Of course with the power of the Black Pearls. They are the source of your strength to carry out the tasks you must complete. Have you forgotten that you must immediately choose between your husband or your child whom you will revive?" replied Etter firmly?
"Certainly not. That's the only reason I'm capable of all this madness. Etter, can we trust the Elder Prince?" Elle replied.
"I have no idea. I cannot measure the hearts and minds of men. I'm not a God who knows everything. Besides, it's also not my job to do such a useless thing. My main aim is to restore the cosmic balance which has started to fall apart because of Emperor Paddu's actions." replied Etter in a confused, sad tone.
"I understand. However, I saw that the Elder Prince was just a victim figure for many years and the Elder Prince did not know anything about Emperor Paddu's plans. I still don't understand why conflicts within an imperial family are so terrible and make each other want to eliminate their own families." Elle's analysis is only based on an innocent and blind conscience about the true state of the world that Elle lives in.
"You won't be able to digest everything that's out of reach. But, do you think the Elder Prince is innocent enough like you to understand the current situation? After all, the Elder Prince was born and lived within the Solar Galactic Empire since childhood. It's too naive to think that the Elder Prince is an innocent person." Etter chuckled and then disappeared.
"..."
Meanwhile, inside the Main Palace of the Solar Galactic Empire, the servants were busy running here and there serving Emperor Paddu who was upset because his youngest son had awakened from the Etter Key Charm.
"How is His Majesty Emperor Paddu, have you had enough for lunch this time?" asked the butler, bowing respectfully.
"Not. Please send an envoy to keep an eye on Elder. And don't get caught. Immediately report any suspicious movements to me." not Emperor Paddu to one of the trusted aides.
"Very well, Your Majesty the Paddu Emperor, I will carry out as ordered." answered one of the trusted aides of Emperor Paddu who was standing on the far left.
One of Emperor Paddu's trusted aides then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Waiter, quickly summons the Empress." cried Emperor Paddu again.
"Very well, His Majesty the Paddu Emperor." replied the butler then ordered one of the maids from the back row to go call for the Empress.
...
In a booth in one of the wings of the Main Palace, Empress Lica was busy choosing clothes to wear to meet her husband, Emperor Paddu. Three maids were standing behind Empress Lica who was busy helping the Empress.
"How about this dress?" Empress Lica asked one of the maids on the right.
"Very good, Her Majesty Empress Lica. This shirt was specially woven by one of the renowned craftsmen in the Solar Galactic Empire and was the only one in this world. The combination of colors and ornaments on each end of the dress is the result of the highest quality gold thread embroidery ever found. Wearing Her Highness Consort Lica's necklace and bracelet will make her even more beautiful and graceful." answered one of the waiters in great detail.
Empress Lica smiled widely.
The praise from one of those highly detailed maids sent Empress Lica soaring high. Because basically, the Empress is always hungry for praise from anyone. Especially from his favorite servants.
"You understand my taste the best and I am very happy about that. Then what about the shipment of dresses that are still in delivery. By the way, when will the dress I asked for come?" asked Empress Lica who was still smiling happily.
"Coming soon, Her Majesty Empress Lica." replied one of the maids who was on Empress Lica's left side.
Just at that moment, Elle disguised as a maid who was carrying a dress ordered by Empress Lica knocked on the booth door.
It took Elle a few seconds to wait for the door to open from the inside. A girl no more than twenty-five years old opened the door for Elle. The servant girl smiled slightly when she saw Elle handing the parcel over.
"Sorry, I have to get a direct receipt from Empress Lica for this consignment. Please help me lead to Empress Lica's place," said Elle who disguised herself as a middle-aged woman firmly.
"Good. Come follow me." replied the servant girl without asking more.
Please note, everyone who enters the main residence in the Main Palace will get a special badge that is obtained through a strict inspection. The badge contained the chip that had the most advanced tracking system in the Solar Galactic Empire.
Elle followed the maid girl's footsteps quickly while the corner of her eye scanned every corner of the room. Elle's main goal is clear, which is to find the whereabouts of the Black Pearl hidden in the room.
Until finally, Elle arrived at a booth where Empress Lica was sitting gracefully waiting for a dress order with a beaming face. Empress Lica is one of the most influential women in the entire Solar Galactic Empire. Consort Lica also doubles as a spiritual advisor to His Majesty Emperor Paddu.
"Sincerely, Her Majesty Empress Lica. I brought the dress order and I also asked for a receipt from Her Majesty Empress Lica," said Elle softly.
