Chapter 296: 147 Shadows

To complete a plan, there were usually three steps, formulation, preparation, and implementation.

After Princess Dana was insulted by the Intelligent Machine known as the Emperor, she began planning her revenge. However, the plan was obstructed, stuck at the preparation step.

Since the New Federation’s fleet attacked the Imperial Palace of the Luofeng Empire, the entire palace had been tightly guarded by the Royal Guard Army controlled by General Fremont, implementing the strictest security level.

Princess Dana could not summon other members of her team into the palace at all.

After several setbacks, Princess Dana started having doubts.

During this period, the Old Emperor attempted several times to approach her, wanting to continue to conquer this beautiful woman, but she avoided him with various excuses.

Princess Dana began to have constant nightmares.

She felt as though she were plunging into the deep sea, suffocated by the cold palace, and could only find a little solace with her close maid.

Finally, today, Princess Dana attempted again to summon other team members, and several members of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau who had married into noble families of the Luofeng Empire successfully entered the palace.

Princess Dana, of course, did not know that this was arranged by Yang Ming, but she finally completed the preparation work of her revenge plan.

A small luncheon was held in Princess Dana’s bedchamber, with the princess and her close maid included, and a total of six women drank a little wine and then began some physical contact.

Princess Dana’s maid, with hazy eyes, walked out of the bedchamber doors and requested the guards to leave temporarily, ensuring no one could approach the princess’s bedchamber.

The guards relayed the message to the command center, and General Fremont, after pondering for a few seconds, issued an order for a full withdrawal, clearing the corridors near the bedchamber quickly.

Such things…

Although rare in the palace, occasionally happened.

After all, the Emperor was already too old.

When the guards outside left, the maid unlocked the biometric lock on the bedchamber door, and Princess Diana, with her team members, hurried through the secret passage to the Emperor’s bedchamber.

The Old Emperor, who was watching a maid’s striptease, heard Princess Dana’s call.

“We might be able to talk; we must rebuild trust… Yes, I can compromise with you, but you must follow my instructions again, the last time wasn’t that bad.”

The Old Emperor raised his brows slightly, dismissed the maids around him, and made the bedchamber vacant.

Princess Dana emerged from the secret passage and arrived before the throne.

The Old Emperor squinted and smiled.

He lifted his loose robe, revealing his bare lower body, and gestured to Princess Dana.

Princess Dana obediently kneeled before the Old Emperor.

As the Old Emperor reached out to caress her head, a metal rod suddenly slid out from Princess Dana’s cuff, and she grabbed the metal rod to slam it hard against the Old Emperor’s ankle. The Old Emperor, unable to dodge, convulsed violently a few times before falling backward.

“Dirty thing!”

Princess Dana stood up, lifted her skirt, and viciously kicked the Old Emperor’s lower body.

Five women swiftly emerged from the secret passage, quickly taking out some portable instruments. The Old Emperor soon opened his eyes woodenly, regained his ability to move, and entered the secret passage surrounded by them, walking toward Princess Dana’s bedchamber.

In just a few minutes, the Old Emperor was transported to Princess Dana’s bed.

The maid pushed over a wardrobe, and several women took out a plethora of electronic instruments from it, quickly beginning the reboot process of this Intelligent Machine.

They were shocked to discover a startling change in the machine’s internal logic program.

Princess Dana continuously gave orders.

“Format his motor core components; make him bedridden from this moment on–Luofeng no longer needs this trash! Prince Edwan will be sufficient.”

“Extract his memory bank, backup all the data.”

“Remember, only we can know about this matter, or else we’ll definitely be punished. When his term ends, we will destroy him directly, and then you can return to your home country. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

But when they touched the Old Emperor’s core database, the Old Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils emitting two beams of red light.

It was something Princess Dana and others had not anticipated.

The Old Emperor ripped the instrument probes off himself and let out a low roar as he was about to sit up.

In panic, Princess Dana rushed directly.

“Hold him down! Destroy his core database!”

The women beside her quickly reacted, forcibly pushing down the Old Emperor’s joints. The maid who had witnessed Princess Dana’s earlier humiliation, possibly seeking redemption, directly pounced onto the Old Emperor, using her body weight to pin down the Intelligent Machine’s legs.

Princess Dana grabbed a thick power cord, looped it around the Old Emperor’s neck, stepped on the edge of the bed’s base with her left foot, and yanked backward with her body.

The Old Emperor struggled violently.

It was unwilling to be sentenced to death today.

Though the women were not powerful, they were well-organized and did everything possible to prevent the Old Emperor from breaking free, fearing that doing so might result in more severe consequences.

After all, he was the nominal Emperor of a country.

Suddenly…

“Mom?”

An immature, somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

Princess Dana was momentarily startled.

She turned her head toward the direction of the palace door and saw Emily in a nightgown, clutching a teddy bear, along with two maids who had just arrived, their eyes filled with terror.

“Emily…”

Princess Dana’s fingers loosened, and the Old Emperor’s machine seized the opportunity, flipping the maid off him and charging toward the secret passage entrance, dragging several instruments along.
