David came to save her, but now, he was wanted by the empire.
This would piss off anyone. Right after Astrid said that, it was like abolt of lightning had struck the room.
Everyone in the Octagoonâs control room was looking at her in shock.
They automatically filtered everything that was said and only heard one name.
Astrid Barlowe! Only Milky Way Empire royalty had the last name Barlowe.
After the empire unified the Milky Way, no one else was allowed to have Barlowe as their last nameexcept for the royals.
This meant, aside from the royalty, there was no one else with Barlowe as their last name in the Milky Way.
If they were found out, they would be convicted for insulting the royal family.
Besides, wasnât Astrid the princessâ name? The staff were all Pavanâs servants.
After Pavan died, David did something to their bodies, and they followed David here from Earth.
They had no idea how someone from an indigenous planet could have a relationship with PrincessAstrid of the empire.
Furthermore, Princess Astrid seemed to respect him a lot.
How did their new master do this? The commander was the first one to return to his senses.
He quickly knelt and greeted, âGreetings, Your Royal Highness Princess Astrid!â The others also knelt and greeted, âGreetings, Your Royal Highness Princess Astrid!â Astrid was notin the mood to pay attention to these people.
Her attention had always been on David.
âYour Royal Highness, you donât have to blame yourself.
I know whatâs happening, and it has nothing to do with you.
I was careless, so thatâs why this is happening,â David said.
âYou know whatâs going on? Who did this?â Astrid asked.
âIf Iâm not wrong, it should be Lord Burke from Planet Boundless.
His father is in the military, and I didnât tell him after I saved you.
I ignored his objections and left Planet Boundless by force.
Also, His Majesty ordered him before this to make me stay in Planet Boundless so I could save you from the Sangruil Sinners.
Plus, we had some conflicts, so he definitely told his father about my disobeying his Majestyâs orders by leaving the planet.
This is probably how I became wanted in the empire.
Also, Burke tampered with the Octagon and told the bounty hunters my location.
Thatâs why this is happening.
So, it doesnât have much to do with you,â David explained.
âI see!â
After Davidâs explanation, everyone understood.
Everyone saw Davidâs conflict with Lord Burke of Planet Boundless when they were leaving Planet Boundless.
Judging from Burkeâs personality, he would not spare David if he had the chance.
âWhat do you mean? David, if I didnât show up in the Boundless Region, nothing like this would happen.
You saved me, but youâre being framed by some vile rat and have become a wanted criminal.
I will make the person who framed you pay a severe price.
Also, since theyâre from the military, showing my face will be the best way to do this,â Astrid said coldly.
David felt that she was right after thinking about this.
He could not swallow this grievance as well.
Burkeâs father was a prominent figure in the empireâs military.
So, the military would not sit idly by if he wanted to take action.
David did not want to have a conflict with the military now.
He had already offended the Tuffin and Callisto family, so he might be in deep trouble if he also offended the military.
Princess Astrid showing her face was indeed the best solution.
After David thought this through, he thanked Astrid, âThank you, Your Royal Highness.â
âDavid, donât be so courteous.
I should be the one thanking you.
If it werenât for you, I would have been captured by the Sangruil Sinners.
They would have surely used me to threaten my father.
If my father got hurt while rescuing me, the entire empire would have become turbulent,â Astrid said seriously.
