After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 398: The Coalition of Various Forces

"The royal court means that, if you wish, we can grant Elius a royal title, and everything in the past will be forgotten."

However, the prerequisite is that Liang He must also join the royal court.

This can be seen as Wang Ting trying to curry favor with Liang He, catering to her preferences in order to win her over.

"To be honest, I'm afraid Cyril's parents will also make a move soon, but I'm just informing you first."

Evelyn genuinely considered Liang He a friend and a sister, so she was willing to tell Liang He everything, both what she should and shouldn't say, and even help her analyze the pros and cons.

Liang He already knew that Cyril's parents were the King and Queen of the Empire.

"Aren't you worried that I might side with the Empire because of Cyril?"

Liang He stopped and turned slightly to meet Evelyn's eyes, wanting to find the answer in her gaze.

What she said was indeed Evelyn's concern.

"As you said, it is perfectly reasonable for me to say less. Once you accept my invitation, everything will be settled, so there is nothing to worry about."

However, if one wants to maintain a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with Liang He, this kind of behavior—using coaxing and deception, and exchanging past friendship for benefits—will only push them further apart.

Evelyn didn't want this to happen.

"I believe you will make the most appropriate choice. Whether you choose the royal court or not, I will support you."

So far, none of the evolved beastmen raised by Liang He are SSS-level beastmen from the royal court.

But that doesn't mean they won't need it in the future.

Therefore, neither Evelyn nor Wang Ting wanted to antagonize Liang He, whether from an emotional or economic perspective.

"Thank you, Evelyn."

Faced with Evelyn's trust, Liang He smiled happily and sincerely thanked her.

If she hadn't told her all this, given Liang He's personality, she definitely wouldn't have pressed the matter further.

She has always been a person who goes with the flow and is content with whatever comes her way.

“I will seriously consider this matter, but I still hope that Elius can appear openly and honestly in everyone’s sight.”

Choosing either the royal court or the empire would mean a compromise for them, and would mean Elius would have to admit his past misdeeds, or even his mistakes.

But Liang He doesn't think so.

She felt that Elius was not wrong; the one who was wrong was the person who drove him to the brink.

"I understand."

Liang He's answer was actually within Evelyn's expectations, and she wasn't surprised.

Because this is the Liang He that Evelyn knows.

"It's okay, just think of it as us having a casual chat. No matter what, our relationship will not change."

After discussing Elius, the topic shifted to Liang Jia.

From Evelyn, Liang He also learned about the information the Federation had regarding Liang Jia's situation.

"So, you already know Liang Jia's true identity?"

I thought I had kept it a secret, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide it from them.

However, this is quite normal. After so many years of fighting against the rebels, it would be easy for the Federation to plant an undercover agent and, incidentally, send out a message that Liang Jia is the second one.

But what Liang He was more concerned about was whether they knew that the Black Wizard was using Liang Jia to research the ferocious beast virus.

"Yes, but considering your relationship with him, and also... Blue Star sent people to negotiate with the Federation, so no one else was alerted."

When asked about Blue Star, Evelyn looked at Liang He with surprise.

In her view, Liang He's abilities were mysterious and unpredictable, just like the ancient planet Blue Star, which she couldn't quite fathom.

What secrets do Liang Jia and Liang He hold that would make Lan Xing step in to protect them and act as their backer? "Evelyn, I'm sorry, I can't explain any more about Liang Jia to you."

Noticing Evelyn's cautious, probing question, Liang He shook her head apologetically.

She doesn't want more people to know about Liang Jia's situation, and Liang Jia herself probably feels the same way.

"I understand, it's okay."

Evelyn wasn't actually demanding an answer; it was just that, as the Third Princess, there were things she had to say and things she had to do.

Even if the result is not satisfactory, as long as she has said or done it, no one else has the right to interfere.

"Alright, let's not talk about these heavy topics anymore. Let's go back to the terrace."

Having abducted Liang He for so long, the men must be getting restless by now, and they probably don't know who will win or lose the mahjong game.

As soon as they returned to the terrace, Liang He and Evelyn were greeted by the ear-piercingly venomous chant.

"You're so toxic, so toxic, so toxic, so toxic, so toxic, so toxic..."

Singing her own special background music, "You're So Poisonous" raised her hand, pointed at Li Xiao, and was clearly accusing him.

Not knowing what kind of conflict these two were having, Liang He was too lazy to get involved. Meng Ji Xue Bao gently bit her sleeve, trying to lead her to the other side.

"Meow~"

Liang He, who was following the snow leopard, suddenly stopped and stared at Leila, who was lying motionless on the ground, speechless with emotion.

Leila is really thick-skinned. If it weren't for the heaving of her chest proving she was still alive, Liang He would have really thought she had died from an alcohol allergy...

"I'll have someone come and take her back to her room."

The temperature at night in the island castle is not high, and with the occasional sea breeze, even if Leila were to sleep here for one night, she would probably catch a cold.

Evelyn summoned Lyra's federal soldiers, two female staff members, and her own bodyguard to escort her back to her room.

The reason for having all three parties escort the journey together is to check and balance each other, in order to prevent any accidents from happening.

After all, Leila is a woman, so she needs to be more careful.

"What happened to them?"

Evelyn, having settled Lyra in, noticed Liang He heading towards Cedril's mahjong table and curiously approached.

The four men had their brows furrowed deeply, each one more furrowed than the last, as they rubbed the mahjong tiles in their hands with worried expressions, glancing every now and then at the tiles that had already been played, filled with deep distress and regret.

"I should have known better than to play this card; I could have made a straight..."

"A straight? Ha, I can even declare a straight now."

"What's so special about a meld? I just played the wrong tile and almost won by self-draw..."

"Stop arguing, or I'll misremember the cards."

It's said that three women make a drama.

In Liang He's opinion, four men playing mahjong together is much more exciting than what they do.

However, seeing that they were engrossed in the world of mahjong, Liang He was too lazy to disturb them. She simply called the already drowsy furry creatures and went back to the room to rest with Evelyn.

"Alright, that's enough to drop me off here. You should go and get some rest too."

Because Evelyn's bodyguards were divided to take care of Bebe and Layla, Liang He specially sent her back to her room.

"Okay, I'll live next door to you. Call me if you need anything."

Considering Evelyn's special status, her close relationship with Liang He, and Liang He's high combat skills, the bodyguard agreed to Goring's suggestion to let Liang He stay on the same floor.

Just as Liang He was about to take the furry creatures back to their room to rest, a roar came from next door, startling her so much that she almost ran over to check what was going on.

"Beibei! Why aren't you asleep yet?!"
