“Liao Ning,” Lin Wan said, her tone tinged with confusion, “Why would a princess suddenly emerge in the empire? If I recall correctly, the king’s offspring are all princes.”
Continuing to work on the plan, Lin Wan explained, “I’m not entirely sure either. It was reported in the morning news. They mentioned that the child was believed to have been lost many years ago during the war. Recently, they discovered them on a desolate planet in a no-man’s-land near the border of the alliance and the empire.”
Liao Ning furrowed her brows. “But didn’t the alliance and the empire sign a truce agreement after the battle eight years ago? Why do they still refer to it as the front line?”
Lin Wan chuckled dismissively without looking up. “This is not the first time we’ve signed such a truce agreement. We’ve had nearly ten of them, varying in size. Each time, the empire unilaterally violated the terms for various reasons, forcing the alliance to reluctantly respond. It’s rather infuriating, don’t you think?”
Liao Ning sighed. “That’s truly shameless…”
“Indeed. If it weren’t for the people stationed at the border, the alliance wouldn’t have agreed to sign the truce agreement each time!” Lin Wan finished writing the proposal, handing it over to the robot butler waiting nearby. She instructed it to scan the electronic copy and send it to the Business Administration.
Curious, Liao Ning leaned closer. “If the proposal gets approved, does that mean the hotel can finally open for business?”
“It’s still too early to tell. We’ll need the Food Supervision Administration to inspect the hotel premises after the Business Administration approves it. Only when we meet their standards can we officially start operating,” Lin Wan replied, massaging her slightly achy shoulders from the strain of writing so much. She glanced at Liao Ning and added, “If you have the time, lend a hand to Yu Ni. She’s been managing all the apprentices by herself, and it’s been quite a challenge.”
Liao Ning awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. As the owner of the hotel, she felt a bit idle. “Got it. I’ll assist her when I have some free time.”
Lin Wan inwardly rolled her eyes. After months of interacting with Liao Ning, she had come to understand that Liao Ning was afraid of getting into trouble. She often daydreamed and seemed detached from reality. However, Lin Wan never expected Liao Ning to genuinely help Yu Ni, but she couldn’t tolerate her idleness and deliberately pointed it out.
Observing Liao Ning’s disbelieving expression, Lin Wan felt annoyed. “Fine, I’ll go to the kitchen now!”
As Lin Wan watched Liao Ning depart, she helplessly shook her head and returned to her work. Who would have imagined that the person who relied on her intelligence to manage the hotel would also possess such a childish side?
“Prime Minister, what is the empire up to? Could they be considering unilaterally breaking the truce again?” The secretary of the interstellar space alliance leader anxiously gazed at the news regarding the Princess of Dawn.
Zhou Ling also studied the young man seated behind the desk, lost in thought.
The Prime Minister appeared to be in his thirties, with striking facial features and a handsome visage. At first glance, no one would suspect that he was the current leader of the interstellar space alliance, let alone believe that such a young man had spearheaded the alliance’s development.
The young man contemplated for a long while before speaking. First, he sought the opinion of the current head of the Su family, then turned to Zhou Ling. “Ling, what are your thoughts?”
Zhou Ling shared the same perspective as the head of the Su family. They both believed that the empire was merely celebrating the recovery of a lost princess, considering it an inconsequential matter. After all, the king of the empire had three children, all princes. Thus, discovering a child, especially a princess, would undoubtedly bring great joy to the king and queen.
Upon hearing their responses, rather than easing up, the young man’s frown deepened as he continued pondering.
Nearly half an hour later, he spoke again. “Secretary Zhang, when you saw the news, did you share the same interpretation as Master Su and Ling?”
Secretary Zhang didn’t know why he asked this, but he still said honestly, ‘Yes, I think in the same way as you two.”
“What a coincidence. My thoughts are the same as everyone else’s.” The young man was enlightened when he heard this. Even his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. “There must be a problem! The Empire wants to disrupt our thoughts so the important information can be hidden!”
Zhou Ling and the master of the Su family looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes..
