Chapter 64 General Mulholland Sent a Cat Sticker

The broadcast was everywhere.

Major imperial news sites.

Public light screens on streets and buildings.

Even the hovering ad panels above traffic lanes.

Harold had prepared his explanation carefully.

According to him, he and Helen had fallen in love first.

General Mulholland’s disappearance and presumed sacrifice had come later.

Helen’s engagement to Orion had only been arranged because their ranks matched. It had never been based on emotional attachment or AO pheromone compatibility.

By contrast, Harold claimed his pheromone compatibility with Helen had already passed eighty-five percent, and it had continued rising over the last two years.

In other words, they were the true match.

As for General Mulholland, whose head had been very thoroughly decorated-

“The general and I were never romantically involved,” Helen said to the cameras. “He knew about Harold and me. That was why he chose to step away from the engagement himself.”

Helen did not hide behind Harold the entire time.

He was the empire’s top psychic healer. Over the years, he had treated countless elites. The number of Alphas who admired him, openly or secretly, could not be counted.

So when Helen said he and Orion had always been distant, never intimate, and that Orion himself had no objection, part of public opinion began to bend.

Soon after, the emperor’s secretary released a formal statement on behalf of the ailing emperor.

At a later date, an engagement banquet would be held for Prince Harold Mulholland and Helen Rockefeller.

At that point, whether General Mulholland had truly been cheated

Julian stared at the account name.

Then at the wrist terminal in his hand.

Then at the “Mulholland” attached to Orion’s name.

He fell silent.

While one sticker detonated StarNet again, Orion sat on the couch inside Moonshade Recovery Estate. listening to Caleb’s report.

“Last night, the council approved the legions’ request to assume temporary control over Zerath. I sent personnel this morning to take over the planet and investigate why so many S-rank insectoids appeared there.”

The legions had submitted the request days ago.

The council had kept delaying it.

Until last night’s scandal broke.

“Our eldest prince still has real influence in the council,” Ethan Cross said, nearly laughing. “This looks like him giving up part of his benefits to placate us.”

After seeing the explosive material Caleb had released the previous night, Ethan had been completely cured of any lingering goodwill toward Helen.

Helen had long since thrown himself into Harold’s arms, yet he still wanted to use Orion’s name to order Orion’s senior officers around and make them hunt the most dangerous 38 imperial insectoid for him.

That kind of malice made even a colonel who had seen battlefields feel cold.

Laurie Rick’s voice was rough. “Then do we find a reason to kick someone’s beloved uncle off his seat?”

It sounded crude.

It was not entirely wrong.

Still, the other officers clearly felt the idea was too direct.

The Seventh Legion was newly formed, but its commander, Prynn Watson, had been personally appointed by the emperor. Because of that, the Seventh Legion had another name: the Second Royal Guard Corps.

“What I want is the truth about Zerath. I have no interest in a royal parade guard built for noble children to pad their résumés,“

Caleb and the others laughed despite themselves.

Only Julian was still holding Orion’s wrist terminal.

Holding it felt wrong.

Putting it down also felt wrong.
