9 An Interlude (2/2)

Roland could read her thoughts like an open book. He laughed silently and continue to speak to everyone, ”All of you will be separated into three groups, namely the Spaceship Construction Research Group, The Interstellar Gate Research Group and the Negative Density Energy Particle Research Group.”

”The Negative Density Energy Particle Research Group must take precedent, as it will be the core to be used by both groups later. So, focus on this first.

After the lecture, you will understand the importance of a material which could generate the negative energy towards your respective goals.”

”Linneia, Vayu, Zaleha, Rossetta and Desaree must start researching on the negative density energy particle first. Linneia, please contact both Rossetta and Desaree. Make sure they're present during the lecture this evening.”

”Anya can continue with the core design manipulation. You'll oversee the Spaceship Construction Team. Bring along Khora,” he paused, ”And Vayu, when she finished her first task. Before that, when you need her, liaised with her using the cerebral connector's interface. Later, when she was done, you can absorb her into your research team permanently.”

”Affirmative, Your Highness.” Anya gave a military salute.

Roland continued, ”The vessel must be stable enough to support the presence of storage space. Khora and Vayu, please start human trial soon. The storage space must be able to support humans, husbandry animals and poultry.”

”Yes, Your Majesty.” Khora and Vayu answered simultaneously while bowing lightly.

”Melati, Frieda and Raksha can join the Interstellar Gate Research Group.” Roland added.

The three unlikely ladies (and girl) looked at each other, and answered, ”As you wish, Your Highness.” Melati and Frieda curtsied gently while the valiant General Raksha saluted him military-styled.

The three sisters fidgeted at the side. Are we not required? They thought in a panic. Will we be axed out from the group of researchers?

”Meifang, Luojien and Yingyue needed to work in tandem will all groups. With all of you around, their work will significantly progress faster and more efficient.” Roland spoke after a momentary pause.

Both Luojien's and Yingyue's mouth twitched as they blinked their eyes.

Who said not required just now?! It's triple the amount! We should ask for a raise!

Meifang quickly pinched both of her sisters to stop them from reacting unnecessarily.

The crowd started to chatter after the tasks had been disseminated among them. Roland exited the meeting with Linneia in tow.

Since she automatically subjected herself as Roland's assistant, Roland won't be polite and instructed her endlessly to his heart's content in amusement.

...

Linneia was very unhappy internally.

Her father, King Azul, was the one who arranged for her to be the attendant for their ancestors, Immortal King Roland and Immortal Queen Anna. It was the most fitting, as she was after all, their most accomplished descendant.

Truthfully, this was the first time she came in contact with her ancestor, the Immortal King.

Previously, she had felt great reverence towards her great grandpa. However, reality showed that this person wasn't as great as he should be.

True, he was similar to the large portrait in the main hall. But why didn't he have that kingly aura in him?

He was more down to earth, calm and collected; more like a scholar rather than an emperor.

Seriously, why did he seem so mediocre?

It's like when you have such a high expectation on something, and suddenly it didn't lived up to your standard, it would be a total turn off.

That's what she felt currently.

Linneia was discontented with how the ancestor passed her job to his wife. He even took over her research team and scrambled it up!

Moreover, his wife is so beautiful! Why is he lecherously looking at the three young girls until his eyes nearly come off once she was gone? Did he have a fetish for young innocent-looking girls?

When she wanted to know more about the ruins, this ancestor of hers kept on deflecting and not wanting to tell her a single bit!

So stingy!

Hmph! Wait and see, I'll give him a special lecture hall and see how he stumbled and lost so much face until he will want to crawl into a hole with shame!

Outwardly, this girl didn't show a single bit of emotion.

Just like an inborn five-star actress.
