Chapter 297: 147 Shadows 2

Thud.

Emily’s teddy bear fell to the ground.

At that moment, Princess Dana suddenly remembered that her daughter’s chamber was nearby, and Emily had the authority to enter and exit her chamber’s gates.

…

After the screen projection ended.

Yang Ming raised his hand to hold his forehead, feeling a bit too exasperated to comment.

This princess’s execution ability was indeed too poor!

“Boss, the palace’s external network has been blocked. General Fremont sent a communication.”

“Patch it through.”

Yang Ming responded irritably.

General Fremont’s hologram appeared in front of Yang Ming, speaking in a low voice, “There’s a problem…”

“I know what’s happened, are Emily’s two maids under control?”

“They are under control,” General Fremont said, somewhat taken aback, then quickly added, “I suppressed the news. Princess Dana intended to assassinate His Majesty. If this matter escalates… Princess Dana has connections with the Sherman Empire nobility. In the past minute, our Emperor summoned me three times. I want to inform Prince Edwan, but the communication on Edwan’s side was suddenly cut off.”

Yang Ming immediately said, “Do not let Edwan know about this. It was I who cut off the communication to him.”

“This…”

“General, wait for me at the palace. I will be there shortly,” Yang Ming said, “From now on, no matter what you have to do, delay Prince Edwan’s entry into the palace.”

“My allegiance is to Prince Edwan,” Fremont said in a low voice, “I think you should understand this matter.”

“I can turn the palace into ruins in three minutes, and you cannot activate half of the palace’s protective shields,” Yang Ming said coldly, “I think you should understand this matter as well.”

Fremont adjusted his breathing.

Yang Ming stood up and took the Wind Army uniform delivered by a robot assistant, pulling it over his shirt.

“General Fremont, consider Prince Edwan’s temperament,” Yang Ming said, “There are things we must learn to make decisions on our own, later I will show you a secret.”

Fremont slowly nodded, “Yes, for now, you are in charge.”

Yang Ming put on his military boots and pushed open the door.

General Fremont silently ended the communication. He rubbed his brow thoughtfully for a while, then quickly issued orders.

In a cozy lounge above the prison, Lieutenant Colonel Ace, who was on a date with a noble lady, was abruptly dragged from his comfort by Yang Ming, leaving the scantily clad noble lady yelling repeatedly.

Yang Ming needed a driver and a pass.

Lieutenant Colonel Ace had performed quite well during the last New Federation attack on the palace; at least his piloting skills were quite competent.

Outside the atmosphere of Ilando Star, three Star Patrol Ships and two battleships of the Fourth Fleet formed a formation, maintaining relative stillness with the palace.

Prince Edwan, who was in a meeting, received some news. When he was about to leave for the palace, new information arrived.

“His Majesty and the Princess had a minor dispute. His Majesty seems to have unfavorable intentions toward the Princess, but it has been quelled by General Fremont; it’s just a simple matter…”

Edwan frowned tightly. After some hesitation, he decided to continue presiding over the economic meeting.

This meeting was quite important for the Luofeng Empire.

‘Just a minor family disagreement, it can be dealt with later.’

Half an hour later.

Yang Ming opened the car door and stepped into the inner gate of the palace. General Fremont came forward to greet him, and his dozen or so trusted officers saluted simultaneously.

Seeing no guards accompanying Yang Ming, General Fremont was taken aback.

“Major Yang Ming,” Fremont frowned, “Do you trust me so much? At such a sensitive time, appearing here alone might not be wise.”

Yang Ming smiled and patted General Fremont’s shoulder, “What reason do I have not to trust you? You will make wise choices for this country.”

“We seemed to have a disagreement just now.”

“Even the most trusting partners can have disagreements, especially since there exists an age gap between us.”

Yang Ming raised an eyebrow at Fremont.

General Fremont shook his head with a wry smile, “Indeed, now is the time for your younger generation. Your courage and determination genuinely…follow me, the situation is not optimistic, our Emperor seems to have lost his mind.”

“Speak while we walk.”

Yang Ming said solemnly, nodding respectfully to the officers and walking alongside Fremont into the palace.

In the eyes of these officers, this young officer Yang Ming walking beside the gray-haired, powerful Fremont seemed completely natural.

Fremont spoke quietly at his side:

“The Emperor brought over five hundred Mechanical Guards into his bedroom, filling it to capacity.

“Princess Dana and Princess Emily attempted to leave the palace, but I stopped them and arranged for them in a nearby lounge.

“External communication of the palace is entirely cut off…Was that your doing?”

“Yes,” Yang Ming thought for a moment, “Let’s first check in on Princess Dana and Her Highness the Princess.”

“This way.”

General Fremont gestured, leading Yang Ming through twists and turns, opening the door to a lounge.

The palace interiors were lavishly decorated except for the lounge prepared for the duty guards.

As Yang Ming arrived, Princess Dana and several young noble ladies stood in a corner. Their faces were anxious, brows full of worry, all facing the corner of the room.

Emily was curled up in the corner, her eyes somewhat vacant. At only thirteen, she could not comprehend the scene she had witnessed earlier.

“General Fremont!” Princess Dana immediately rushed forward, “My daughter and I must leave here at once… Uh, Major Yang Ming?”
