Chapter 89
At the banquet, the celebrities who came to the dinner had been dismissed by Leibert.
The banquet that was so lively not long ago has become a mess and deserted place.
Because Shen Yinyin's injury was serious, Dalton and Louis did not take her back immediately, but treated her nearby in Duke Lebert's medical room.
Through the huge transparent glass window, in the corridor, there was a group of tall and handsome men with serious expressions and frowns.
They were either standing or leaning, all their eyes fixed on the unconscious girl.
Dalton changed into a white doctor's gown and wore white rubber gloves. When he closed his eyes, his thin silver-framed glasses reflected a cold light.
Under the cut burgundy evening gown, the girl's slender white waist was exposed, blood was glaring, and her skin and flesh were torn.
The horrific wound made Dalton, who was a top medical practitioner, tremble with his fingertips holding the scalpel.
He almost didn't dare to think about how much pain she was in...
The blood-stained bullet fragments made a crisp sound as they fell on the metal tray.
Faced with even the most difficult experiments and treatments, Dalton, who had never been afraid, broke out a thin layer of cold sweat on his smooth forehead.
Louis clenched his fists tightly, feeling a dull pain in his chest, and the light brain on his wrist bone lit up.
Troy, who had just finished a fierce battle, was covered in blood and his uniform was covered in dust.
He just saw the invitation letter sent by Duke Leibert, but found that he could not contact the little guy, so he found Louis.
Seeing the medical equipment behind Louis, Troy frowned slightly, "You should be accompanying the little guy to the dinner, what happened?"
Louis didn’t say anything, but turned the screen to the pale girl on the hospital bed.
Troy's calm heart trembled violently the moment he saw the girl.
His face was cold: "Who hurt her?"
"Admiral Troy, the Zerg are counterattacking! The 8th Army needs to command reinforcements!"
The military situation was urgent, and even though he was worried about her, his military duties meant he had to stay at his post.
Closing his eyes, Troy said in a hoarse voice: "Louis, take good care of her, I will be back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Troy looked deeply at the girl, cut off the optical brain, and plunged into the cruel battlefield again.
Duke Lebert rushed in as soon as Dalton opened the door of the medical room.
When he wanted to touch Shen Yinyin's cold hand, Dalton stopped him——
"Don't touch her."
Dalton warned coldly.
If it weren't for this banquet, Shen Yinyin would still be staying in the manor, staying with him or Louis.
Instead of lying in the medical room with a pale face.
Lewis stepped forward, picked up Shen Yinyin and walked out.
Duke Lebert wanted to stop him, but Louis looked at him coldly: "Duke, don't you realize that she was injured twice because of you?"
"You should stay away from her..."
Because of Shen Yinyin's departure, Grayson, Yuri and others had no reason to stay any longer.
Soon, Duke Leibert was the only one left in the medical room that was full of people just now.
He looked at the bullet fragment stained with the girl's blood in the tray, clenched his knuckles until they turned white, and punched the wall hard.
Even though blood was oozing from the back of his hand, he seemed to have no feeling at all.
Raising his red eyes, Leibert said sternly: "All those who attended the banquet, regardless of their status, must be checked!"
"Yes! Duke!"
In the corridor, the subordinates kneeling on their knees were terrified and could hardly bear the Duke's wrath.
And outside the manor.
The news that the first noble in the galaxy, Duke Lebert, proposed to a half-slave genderless person instantly set off the entire interstellar network.
Because it was so shocking, this matter even reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen.
The next day.
Leibert, who had not slept all night, was investigating the assassination of Shen Yinyin, but someone came to the palace and said that His Majesty summoned him and asked him to come to the palace.
Along the way, all the palace servants who met Duke Robert bowed respectfully.
However, after Duke Leibert left, everyone's expressions became interesting.
After all, it was shocking enough that Duke Lebert proposed to a genderless person.
What's even more shocking is that the Duke, whose out-of-control level has never been made public, suffered a mental breakdown after his proposal failed last night, but was comforted by the noble female Emily.
According to the Female Protection Act, Duke Leibert will probably become Miss Emily's husband...
Inside the luxurious and spacious palace, Leibert placed his right hand on his left chest and performed a half-bow to the king and queen at the top.
"I have met His Majesty."
Because of his distinguished status, Duke Lebert sat in the seat below after completing his ceremony.
Although he was middle-aged, the king was still majestic and handsome. As soon as he opened his mouth, he carried the pressure of a superior.
"Lebert, you are being ridiculous."
"Since the founding of the empire, even if there are male orcs who like the women of the genderless, no one dares to propose to them openly."
"As a noble, you are a heretic. It is inappropriate for you to be unwilling to marry a female! And you even proposed to a lowly person. It is a disgrace to the family's honor!"
Leibert lowered his eyelashes and his long ice-blue hair fell half on his shoulders.
He crossed his slender legs, and his hands, wrapped in a white bandage, fell on the armrest of the chair. He tapped slowly with his fingers wearing a ruby ring, and did not deny His Majesty's accusation.
After a moment, he simply said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
Seeing Leibert's look, the queen on the side spoke up: "Lebert, it was Emily who comforted you. Whether it's because of this favor or your identities, you should become her male husband."
Hearing this, Robert, who had been careless, raised his head and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He looked directly at the high and mighty Queen, and said in a cold tone: "Queen, you are joking. In my opinion, nothing is as it should be."
The humiliated female queen's expression became distorted: "Lebert! Are you going to openly disobey the king's order?!"
Duke Lebert sneered when he saw that His Majesty and the Queen wanted to force him to marry Emily.
He simply didn't believe that it was Emily who comforted him last night.
The partner that Lebert has chosen will never change no matter what!
Duke Leibert stood up from his chair, looked at the aggressive female queen, and smiled coldly: "Of course I dare not!"
"It's just that no one can force me to do something I don't want to do! If someone thinks it's possible, then give it a try..."
After saying this, Leibert turned and left.
"Lebert! You..."
It is said that Duke Leibert is as rich as a country, has an extraordinary status, and has huge financial power, but this is not just talk.
Therefore, looking at the stubborn Robert, the queen was so angry that her face turned blue, and she did not dare to make any move on him.
Thinking of the culprit who made Leibert openly disobey the emperor's order, the queen's red lips pulled into a shadowy arc.
Oh, it’s true that she couldn’t touch Leibert, but how could she not touch a lowly genderless person…
At this moment, Shen Yinyin, who had just woken up from a nightmare, looked pale and her long hair was soaked with cold sweat.
With tearful eyes, she didn't see clearly the person sitting beside the bed, so she hugged him tightly, her trembling, soft sobs sounded broken and pitiful.
"Don't abandon me, don't abandon me..."
Sally, who was suddenly hugged, stiffened slightly and froze in shock.
His raised hand was still suspended in mid-air.
The frail girl in his arms had her long hair loose, her soft body pressed against his chest, her pretty little face leaning on his shoulder in a dependent manner.
The hot tears soaked his dignified and abstinent clothes and transferred to his skin, spreading a strange feeling of dampness and heat.
Sally, who had never been so intimate with the opposite sex, had a momentary freeze of both shrewdness and disguise in her eyes.
His long eyelashes trembled, and he waited for a while before gently placing his hand on the girl's shoulder and pushing her away with restraint.
"Miss Shen, His Majesty has summoned you. Please come with me..."
