Chapter 26 Unexpected Funds
One hundred thousand stellar coins?!
We Proush
Elizabeth stared at the long string of zeros that had suddenly appeared in her account and froze.
What was going on?
Since when was the kingdom government this considerate?
Before she could figure out where this sudden windfall had come from, the same “Unknown Source communication request rang again, just as persistent as before.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then accepted the call.
It was the same clerk.
This time, though, the official tone seemed to carry a trace of barely restrained helplessness. “Ms. Schofield, the funds should have arrived. Given your special circumstances, the government has approve this transportation subsidy. Please make sure you arrive on time.”
With 100 thousand stellar coins sitting in her account, Elizabeth was genuinely tempted.
But the thought only lasted a second before she flatly refused. “No. It’s not enough.”
The clerk replied, “Ms. Schofield, I have checked. A private spaceship from your sector to Centria Planet costs well within 100 thousand stellar coins.”
“One way is enough,” Elizabeth shot back confidently. “But I have to come back too. A round trip should b 200 thousand, right?”
Another suffocating silence followed.
After quite a while, the clerk spoke again, patiently explaining in a voice that sounded close to exhaustion “Ms. Schofield, according to the Kingdom Marriage Act and the Supplementary Special Amnesty Decree, once your marriage to General Hewitt is officially established, your previous exile sentence will be automatically pardoned. Your citizenship will be restored, and you may legally reside in any sector of the kingdom. There will be no need for you to return to the exile planet.”
Elizabeth knew all of this perfectly well.
Back when she first learned about the forced pairing, she had read the Kingdom Marriage Act several
times from start to finish.
She just had never taken the forced marriage seriously.
In her view, staying on the quiet Garbage Planet to farm and make money, then applying for a dissolution once the one year term expired, was the optimal solution.
“Oh, I know,” Elizabeth replied calmly. “But what if I just like living on Garbage Planet? Is that not allowed?”
The clerk fell silent again.
