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 Octagoon’s 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, wasn’t Astrid the princess’ name? The staff were all Pavan’s 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, “Greetings, Your Royal Highness Princess Astrid!” The others also knelt
and greeted, “Greetings, Your Royal Highness Princess Astrid!” Astrid was notin the mood to pay
attention to these people.
Her attention had always been on David.
“Your Royal Highness, you don’t have to blame yourself.
I know what’s happening, and it has nothing to do with you.
I was careless, so that’s why this is happening,” David said.
“You know what’s going on? Who did this?” Astrid asked.
“If I’m not wrong, it should be Lord Burke from Planet Boundless.
His father is in the military, and I didn’t 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 Majesty’s 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.
That’s why this is happening.
So, it doesn’t have much to do with you,” David explained.
‘I see!’
After David’s explanation, everyone understood.
Everyone saw David’s conflict with Lord Burke of Planet Boundless when they were leaving Planet
Boundless.
Judging from Burke’s personality, he would not spare David if he had the chance.
“What do you mean? David, if I didn’t show up in the Boundless Region, nothing like this would
happen.
You saved me, but you’re 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 they’re from the military, showing my face will be the best way to do this,” Astrid said coldly.
David felt that she was right after thinking about this.
He could not swallow this grievance as well.
Burke’s father was a prominent figure in the empire’s 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, “Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”
“David, don’t be so courteous.
I should be the one thanking you.
If it weren’t 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,” Astrid said
seriously.
