Before the group of guards could react with shock, Selena spoke up first. "Have Director Mason come see me," she said, then turned and walked into the nearby lounge. Stanley followed her.
Leaving behind a group of stunned people, they watched as the woman calmly walked away. They didn't know where to put their guns for a moment.
Let Director Mason come see her? Even Miss Lillian, who currently held imperial power in her hands, wouldn't dare speak to Director Mason in such a tone.
No one but the monarch had the authority to command the director of Central City Research Institute.
But Selena's tone was too natural and coupled with Stanley's respectful attitude towards her, they didn't dare act recklessly.
"Watch these two while I go get the director!" The leader of guards ordered before quickly leaving to find his superior officer.
...
Ten minutes later outside Director Mason's office there was an urgent knocking sound.
In an instant, a high-level meeting inside was disturbed.
Although the management of the research institute was lax, there were no major issues and no one dared to interrupt them during the meeting.
The old dean sitting in the first seat took off his glasses and said, "Come in."
A man in military uniform walked in and quickly approached the old dean. He whispered something into his ear.
The old dean's calm expression suddenly changed as he asked with a trembling voice, "Are you sure?!"
The man nodded solemnly. "I'm sure."
After a moment of silence, the old dean waved his hand. "There is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. The meeting is adjourned."
With that, he walked out under everyone's surprised gaze.
The old dean led his team all the way outside of the maze and stared at a resting room. "Are you sure that doll has been taken out?!"
One guard replied, "Yes sir! We saw it with our own eyes on that young lady's shoulder."
For a moment, there seemed to be some confusion on the old dean's face before he said firmly,"Wait for me here." Then he pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Inside stood a young man with handsome features who smiled at him saying,"Old Dean please come in."
The old dean trembled slightly as he walked forward towards another room.
A slender and graceful figure stood with her back to him in the inner room, gazing up at a painting on the wall. A black-robed doll with silver hair lay quietly on her delicate shoulder, its ghostly cold eyes scanning the old dean before it raised a hand to pull its mask over its face.
The sight of little Gaia's authority made Director Mason's heart tremble. Though not the true leader, as part of the ruling class of the entire alliance, her power was not something ordinary people could resist. And as for that true "god," don't even think about getting any face from it.
They say that pets are created in their owner's image... and they're not joking. Besides Empress Selena, Gaia was supreme throughout the entire alliance. The only person who could make it so obedient and even willing to leave with them was...
The old dean's gaze fell upon that slender figure and saw a familiar back and breath... his eyes grew hazy.
In an overwhelming silence, Selena slowly turned around to face Director Mason with a slight smile on her lips. "Director Mason, long time no see."
At the sight of that familiar face, Director Mason's mind shook violently and tears welled up in his eyes. "Your Majesty..."
Selena lifted a slender finger to make a shushing gesture and said with a smile: "I'm taking little Gaia away today; I haven't been here today."
Director Mason struggled to calm himself down: "Yes... little Gaia has always stayed at this research institute; you have never come here either."
