Wide Silence, Captain's room.

This small room is where Lia Weide works. There is no decoration inside, only a table, a chair, a chandelier, and documents that almost fill the room.

Lia Weide was working in it, with the documents piled up like a mountain in front of her.

There are only seven planets in the Anwo star system that are directly controlled by the Helvinson family. However, in addition to being the head of the Helvinson family, Lia Weide is also the sub-region governor of Tessarell, with dozens of habitable planets under her jurisdiction. Even if only a few noteworthy things happen on each planet every day, the workload she has to deal with is incalculable.

And because she had to take over the jurisdiction of units other than Tessarell, Lia Weide could only use paper office.

A general sub-region governor or a lower-level planetary governor may not do everything personally like Lia Weide. They usually have a large staff and secretariat, and have many ministers. These ministers also have their own staff and advisors to manage the sub-region.

Because if they were flesh and blood, the imperial officials in these positions would not be able to handle affairs even close to the speed at which new affairs arise.

There are also some irresponsible governors who will throw all the tasks to the people under them, while they themselves enjoy the power and comfortable life brought by the position.

But Lia Weide wasn't made of flesh and blood. Four mechanical arms extended from her mechanical body, each equipped with a pen and ink tank. They were correcting documents at a speed comparable to a printer. Multitasking was no problem for her completely mechanized body.

Whenever she finished a document, a servo skull would float over and take it away, sending it to the next level for execution or distribution. But every moment, more servo skulls would also bring new documents for approval here. The way she corrected the documents was like a skilled pianist playing her favorite piece, and the servo skulls that came and went were the embodiment of the notes.

While working, her two hands actually had enough time to make a cup of afternoon tea for herself. She picked up the silver kettle, poured warm milk into the amber tea soup, then used tongs to pick up two pieces of sugar and half a piece of salt and put them into the teacup, stirring gently until they melted.

Then she took a small sip of the warm brown liquid in the cup and nodded slightly.

However, just as Lia Weide was working and enjoying afternoon tea, the wall behind her suddenly fluctuated and twisted, and then a person with a hood covering his face walked out of the wall.

The only person who could appear in this simple room that represents the highest power in Tessaril could be Liavid's official psychic, the suspicious human named "Tyrannosaurus".

Tyrannosaurus walked over to Lia Weide and took out a beautifully sealed scroll: "Lady Lia Weide, a letter from Lord Cecil."

After hearing Lia Weide put down the tea set, with the sound of the teacup being placed on the base, the harmonious music playing in the captain's room was instantly paused.

The end of Lia Weide's mechanical arm rotated, and the pen tip and ink tank were transformed into normal mechanical fingers, and then she retracted the hatch behind her. Then, she took the scroll from the Tyrannosaurus, untied the delicate ribbon on the outside, and opened the sleeve. There was actually only a rolled-up beige paper inside.

See Xin'an

Please forgive me for using such an inefficient way to communicate with you, but I think words written on paper can help me express to you more accurately what I think in my heart.

The rebellion on Zhulan Star has been quelled. Initially, we received news that the workers on Zhulan Star launched a rebellion under the instigation of pagans. However, after my field investigation, I found that the rebellion was planned by the local knight family. They did not intend to have a full-scale conflict with us so soon, so they incited those workers in order to consume our strength and the workers' strength, and make the situation more chaotic so that they can tamper with the accounts. It seems that I was right to reject the reinforcements of that knight family.

The rebellious knight families claim the real reason for their rebellion is that you collect too little tax from the factories, while you take too much from them. This is an unfounded accusation. The main cause of their plight is the long-standing corruption of the Senate and the uneven distribution of spoils caused by infighting among the various factions. If they were taxed at the average imperial rate, their financial crisis would have arrived three hundred years sooner. They have already sold a third of the local factory equipment to smugglers to finance their own pleasures. I've already given the detailed report to Tyrannosaurus. Leave such trivial matters to the executors, as they contain only tedious and worthless information that will waste your time.

After I exposed their lies, they tried to kill me, but with the help of the Parasos family, they failed. I am fine and unharmed.

Now the top brass of the Knights' family have been cleared out, the workers have returned to their jobs, and the obedient ones have been assigned important positions. They have sworn to remain loyal to us forever. I don't believe in so-called eternal promises, but it shouldn't be a problem for them to maintain their loyalty for about a thousand years.

There's only one direct descendant left in this family, a ten-year-old boy. He appears quiet and timid, but I can't mistake his eyes. If we let him grow up, he might cause trouble. His sister would have been a better choice, but my men made a mistake in the execution, and his sister didn't survive. That was my mistake. To maintain stability and the family's loyalty without further cost, it's best for us to keep him.

However, for easier control, I suggest bringing him to Vincengarde to raise him. He should actually be grateful to us. If their family's affairs were known to the Inquisition, no one in the family would survive. We've given them a second chance. Bring him to Vincengarde, raise him, educate him, make him sensible, and become one of ours. If he can grasp this, we can release him and help him regain power.

If his gaze remains unchanged, I suggest marrying him to Sir Pallasos's second daughter, Lady Maglyn, who currently serves as my squire, when he turns sixteen. Their child will become the new leader of the Knight Family. As for this untameable child, give him a small fiefdom and let him die there, provided he doesn't cause any more trouble.

Finally, I found some fruits of plants that were recorded as extinct in this family's collection room. I know you will like them, but please forgive me for not giving them to Tyrannosaurus right away, because I want to give them to you personally.

Cecil Helvetica

After reading the letter, Lia Weide casually folded the paper that Cecil had carefully protected in half, and then folded it in half again to make it easier to transport, and then returned it to Tyrannosaurus.

"Just do as the letter says." Lia Weide ordered.

Tyrannosaurus agreed, but did not retreat because he knew that Liavide had further instructions.

"Has our Emperor met with our special advisor?" Lia Weide asked again.

"Last night, time-space fluctuations were detected at Mr. Howard's residence. We are confident that His Majesty the Emperor has visited, but we have no way of knowing the content of their conversation." Tyrannosaurus replied.

"We don't need to know what they're talking about," Lia Weide said. "Tyrannosaurus, let them play their roles and complete their respective missions. We will only provide necessary assistance when necessary, and remember to keep our distance."
