“What can’t I do? Is he cooperating with the royal family or with you?” The king looked at Loya impatiently. “You should know your position. If not for the fact that you’re afraid of a scandal in the royal family, do you think you would still be alive?”
The king stood up and said, “You’re on your own.”
As she watched the king leave, Loya clenched her fists and put them down weakly. All her cheap shots, a cheap trick, were seen by the king. If not for the fact that she was still useful, she would have been executed long ago, but she could not do anything now. All of this was because of Liao Ning!
Just as Loya returned to her room, someone from the Al suddenly sent her an email. It said, “Miss Zhu Fei.”
She opened the email in a panic, but when she saw the contents, Loya smiled again.
At this moment, Liao Ning, who had been brought down, finally saw Liao Nai. The little guy was indeed not abused. He was wearing gorgeous court clothes, and there were a few servants following him.
“Auntie!” Liao Nai ran over, but he did not throw himself into Liao Ning’s arms.
Liao Nai stroked the little guy’s head and said, “You can be with Auntie in the future. Let’s go.”
Seeing that the few people behind him were about to follow, Liao Nai said unhappily, “I’m going back with Auntie. You don’t have to monitor me anymore. Go down.”
The guard beside Liao Ning nodded at them and they bowed before leaving.
Liao Ning was a little surprised. As expected of the villain of this world. The little guy was only five years old, but he already had such a powerful aura. Even the imperial guards and servants were a little afraid of him.
However, at the thought that the little guy’s evil value had not decreased, Liao Ning immediately changed to a gentle tone. “What do you want to eat tonight? Auntie will make it for you.”
“There’s no need. The royal family also has chefs. Auntie, just leave some for me in the live-stream in the future,” Liao Nai said softly. “There are people monitoring everywhere now. Auntie, don’t reveal too many ancient delicacies formulas to them.”
Seeing the cautious expression on the little guy’s face, Liao Ning shook her head helplessly. She wasn’t afraid of the ancient delicacies recipe being made public, but she was concerned about when she would be able to return to the Interstellar Alliance.
On that particular day, the empire’s news reported that Count Sam’s youngest son had privately increased the price and even sold the Golden Toad mixed with golden shellfish to the merfolk.
On the other hand, Count Sam prioritized righteousness over his family. Not only did he donate a large sum of star coins to compensate the mermaids, but he also took the initiative to send Ke Lang to prison.
“Father! I’m your heir. You can’t be so heartless!” Ke Lang was already locked up in prison, with his expressionless father standing outside.
“You fool!” Earl Sam glared at him fiercely. “Loya is just a small citizen from a trash planet. What benefit do you think there is in working with her? Your short-sightedness almost destroyed the Sam family.”
Sami looked at Ke Lang disdainfully. “Brother, you’ve enjoyed a good life for so many years. It’s time for you to pay for the family’s sake.”
When the king allowed Liao Ning to publicly create the antidote, Sami had already sensed that something was amiss. Observing Loya’s abnormal behavior at the time, she deduced most of the story through a little investigation.
In order to protect the Sam family, Sami suggested that Ke Lang take the blame, shoulder the responsibility, and accept all the consequences.
“You can’t blame others for your stupidity. Loya is a princess, and the royal family won’t make her mistakes public, so this mistake can only be attributed to the Sam family.” Sami glared at Ke Lang. “If it weren’t for the fact that I endured humiliation and joined the rebel army as a spy, do you think the Sam family would still exist?”
Count Sam couldn’t be bothered to look at his foolish son any longer. He turned around and left. Besides Sami, he still had an unknown heir. Even if his disappointing son died, it wouldn’t matter.
“Father! Father! You have to save me. I’m your only son!” Ke Lang continued to shout, but Earl Sam didn’t turn around.
Sami walked up to him and smiled coldly. Then, she turned to nod at the guard and left.
“Lord Ke Lang, I’m sorry.” The guard went forward and opened the cell door.
Ke Lang hid in a corner in panic. “W-What are you trying to do? I’m the count’s son!”
The guard’s tone was apologetic. “I’m sorry, but this was also the count’s idea..”
