Chapter-17 First Encounter

"Tsk! That old man really has a big appetite." Morcelo, who had been silently working as his majesty's guard, couldn't help but say it as soon as his majesty exited the room. Just now, he had been controlling himself from smashing someone's head when he heard the long list of demands from the Alliance.

"Indeed, after all, even if the Galactic Alliance is relatively strong in terms of technology, their energy reserves are too low compared to our Empire. So, now that they have found a chance, you can bet they'll go all out to make the most of it." Verona, who had come in place of Sebastian this time, was also very unhappy with Alliance's behavior.

"Fortunately his majesty is not someone they can take advantage of. Should we tell Jaden about this? After all, he is most likely the one who will cooperate with the Alliance army this time."

This was a collective decision made by both parties. Zergs are considered a big trouble due to their terrifying speed of reproduction and growth. They are like active volcano in the interstellar era. No one can easily estimate when they will make trouble.

Moreover, Zerg queen is too powerful. As long as it is alive, it can completely turn the tied. Even the top powerhouses will hesitate to fight against such a creature. Up until now, there was only one person who almost killed the Zerg queen and destroyed the Zerg lair.

This time, both nations have decided to approach this matter with caution. For the initial action, a joint investigation team will be established to thoroughly inspect the situation with the newly formed zerg nest.

"Don't be so anxious, it's not certain yet who will be leading the investigation team. Let's discuss it after going back." Unlike the careless Mocelo, Verona is a thoughtful person. Even though this planet is now the joint property of the Norex Empire and Galactic Alliance, she did not dare to talk too much out of caution.

Morcelo got her signal, "Okay… I wonder where his majesty went?"

...

On the northern side of the Academy, a big blue lake is located. Due to the artificial sunlight glimmering on the lake, the water in it seemed to be filled with glitter, sparkling as the sun rays shine on it. If it was not for the opening ceremony, many students may have been wandering around here to catch up with such a stunning view.

Arwan, followed by his guards came for a casual stroll. He stared at the lake, his deep purple eyes reflecting a world of thoughts hidden beneath the surface. The sun bathed his wheat colored skin in warmth, yet his face remained stoic, untouched by the heat that enveloped him.

"Hiss!"

Just at this moment, he heard a low gasp. As a top-class alpha, his five senses are extremely sharp, so he quickly caught this faint sound that seemed to fade away in the wind.

Although the person was quite far away, Arwan's keen eyesight allowed him to notice every detail. It was a sight that could stun even someone like him, who had long since grown accustomed to the allure of the world's most stunning faces.

By the glimmering lake stood a striking young man, his long silver-white hair flowing into a tidy ponytail that danced gently in the soft breeze. His porcelain white skin seemed to glisten under the sunlight.

His crystal blue pupils seemed to be the priceless gems of the century. His beauty was utterly captivating, stirring something deep within the soul. It seemed as though the divine had bestowed upon him not only exquisite looks but also a physique that was nothing short of perfection.

Tall and slender, with a delicate waist and long legs, he stood by the lake like a celestial being, radiating an air of nobility. In that fleeting moment, the young man seemed to be suffering from some kind of pain. His complexion was flushed, and the edges of his eyes bore a slight redness. His soft, scarlet lips fluttered as he inhaled sharply, presenting a mesmerizing fusion of elegance and seduction.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man over there seemed to have finally recovered and left without noticing the presence of others.

Arwan looked at that place for a few seconds before taking his eyes away, "Inform Principal Lancelot, that I plan to stay here for a few more days."

Before leaving, he took a deep look at that place.

…..

On the other side, Imanuel arrived at his dormitory with difficulty. The moment he reached the bedroom, he threw himself on the plump bed without even removing his shoes. His condition was getting more and more serious, he was breathing heavily due to the torturous pain in his brain.

"Ha..ha…"

He wanted to call someone for help, but he could not even utter a single word from his mouth. His body curled up unconsciously. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He didn't know how long it took, but the pain finally subsided. Imanuel lay on the bed while taking deep breaths to calm himself.

His beautiful face was flushed and physiological tears were also streaming down from his eyes due to the unbearable pain. After he relaxed completely, his senses finally connected to the world again. At this moment, he also discovered that someone was calling him through his terminal.

"It must be teacher."

Just as he expected, it was his teacher Gabriel who called to ask about his situation, "Imanuel! Didn't you say you will come at the ceremony!? So, why are you not here!? Even your little assistant is here to watch the ceremony."

"Teacher, I am sorry. But I was not really feeling well. So, I went back to my apartment." Imanuel's voice was hoarse as he spoke.

"What!? Imanuel, are you okay!? What happened!? You were obviously fine when you came!" Gabriel's voice was tinged with worry.

"Teacher, don't worry. I'm fine now, and just feel a little sleepy." Imanuel did not want to worry his teacher at such an important occasion.

"Imanuel, you still need proper examination. So, I am coming to your apartment. You don't need to care about the ceremony, it is almost coming to an end." Gabriel obviously understood her student's concern, so she said this to reassure him and hung up the call before Imanuel could refuse.

Imanuel could only sigh helplessly.
