StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 74 Arranged Marriage

The elder took his good-for-nothing son away in full view of everyone, glancing back at Shen Qingqing, who was huddled on the sofa, before leaving.

Feeling a little uneasy under that gaze, Shen Qingqing lowered her head, her loose hair obscuring most of her face.

"Apologize to the young lady on behalf of my son. If needed, just send someone to the Elders' Council to find me."

He was concise and to the point, and left immediately after speaking.

Before leaving, he made sure to close the door, leaving Shen Qingqing alone in the room.

In truth, what the elder said was the same as what he said; how could she possibly find out where the elders were?

Even if you find it, getting in is a huge problem.

Thinking to herself that tonight was going to be incredibly unlucky, Shen Qingqing groped her way out through the crack in the door.

From the third floor, one can have a clear view of the entire banquet. Shen Qingqing leaned against a pillar covered with reliefs, closing her eyes to rest.

Gatana said he wanted her to integrate into the upper echelons, so that all the insects would know she was a member of the Gatana clan, and only then could she relinquish power to him after her coronation.

Otherwise, the Elder Council would never recognize his status, and the Zerg would not truly obey him.

Shen Qingqing rubbed her temples, feeling utterly annoyed.

According to the information received, the coronation ceremony will not take place for at least two months, and her main task during these two months is to make her presence known, but without revealing her true identity.

Once discovered, regardless of what might happen to her, Saenster, who falls into Gatana's hands, will likely not fare well.

Of course, what she didn't know was that on the other side of the palace, Saenster had already been taken into custody and brought to the laboratory.

Ge Yuan, holding a wine glass, strolled upstairs arm in arm with Nordlin.

She even used the other person's clothes to wipe her lipstick.

Nordlin outwardly showed disdain, but inwardly he proudly raised his head and strode forward, eager to tell the whole world about their relationship.

"She drank too much."

Nordlin endured Ge Yuan's teasing and said to Shen Qingqing.

"You disappeared just now, so she sent me to find you."

When Ge Yuan saw Shen Qingqing, it was like meeting an old friend after a long separation, and tears streamed down her face.

Nordlin, who acted as a handkerchief without a single complaint, calmly watched his master put on a show.

I don't know who said that letting children go out and gain experience will help them grow up.

When they met, she sobbed and said she didn't want the child to leave.

Nordlin is not female and cannot comprehend the thought processes of female beings, just as no male can comprehend his behavior as a dog.

"Are you done crying?"

Nordlin peeked at her and asked, "Are you still crying? I have some tissues here."

"Not yet, wait a little longer."

Ge Yuan bent over and cried in Shen Qingqing's arms.

Nordlin also bent down to watch Ge Yuan cry, and had to hand her tissues from time to time, only to be rejected, and then used his own clothes as a handkerchief.

Fortunately, there weren't many people on the third floor, otherwise, if Ge Yuan had seen her in such a disheveled state, she probably wouldn't have come back.

"Qingqing! Where did you run off to? I couldn't find you anywhere..."

Ge Yuan cried so bitterly, as if she were the one who had gone missing.

"I was just wandering around, hey, don't bite me!"

Shen Qingqing had noticed long ago that Ge Yuan liked to bite people when he was drunk.

He is second to none when it comes to getting drunk and causing trouble.

Its destructive power is astonishing.

Nordlin reached out and picked up the wailing Ge Yuan. As his arm reached out, Shen Qingqing noticed what looked like a teeth mark on his wrist.

Seeing that Shen Qingqing was staring at his wrist, Nordlin generously rolled up his sleeve, revealing his muscular forearm.

With a proud tone, she said, "Look, this was bitten by a hawk!"

"Ah, it's bitten quite well, and it's quite round."

Seeing his eager look for praise, Shen Qingqing made conversation, "So, are we going to stay here from now on?"

"No, we won't keep him here," Nordlin said coldly. "The Grand Elder just came looking for his son, and Ge Yuan was almost recognized. There's nothing to see here, so we might as well go back and rest."

"You were recognized?" Shen Qingqing asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"Hehe, it's all because my Queen is famous!"

The following information was obtained from Nordlin.

Ge Yuan was later poached by Gatana and kept at the research institute because of her research capabilities. However, the elders disagreed with the establishment of the research institute and thus carried out a precise strike against the core personnel.

In addition, she had just bombed the research institute's spaceship not long ago. The elders had just voted to establish the research institute and then she caused this incident. Wasn't this a slap in their face?

"So those petty old men in the Elders' Council hold grudges and believe that she deliberately challenged the authority of the Elders' Council."

When the elders were mentioned, Nordlin looked at them with disdain. "A meeting made up of a few old geezers should have been dissolved long ago. They just cause trouble every day."

After listening, Shen Qingqing roughly sorted out her thoughts. It seems that living a long life really does have its advantages.

To be hated for hundreds of years is a kind of "famous reputation".

Bored on the spaceship back, Shen Qingqing asked about the Grand Elder, "What about the Grand Elder looking for his son? Is his son missing?"

Nordlin, who also had nothing to do, didn't mind telling her about the inner workings of the Zerg.

"Tsk, yes and no, anyway, the Grand Elder raised that son like he was his own father, and Desk is notoriously abnormal..."

"If you see him in the future, remember to take a detour, or you might get entangled with him."

……

At this moment, the abnormal insect Desk had already been dragged onto the spaceship by his father, who was pulling him by the ear.

"If it's not Dad, why are you here again?"

"Shut up, I'm not your father." The elder was so angry that his beard stood on end.

Why is his second son still acting so irresponsibly after all this time?

You're so unserious!

What a disgrace!

Desk pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and found a place to sit down.

His father slapped him awake, yelling, "Get up! How dare you sit like that!"

"How am I shameless? Your son's face is right here!"

If he could, Descartes would never want to see his father; the old man always seemed to have a problem with him.

"Can't you learn from your brother? You're brothers, after all..."

“Not again,” Desk muttered.

Isn't it annoying? They always use this same excuse to talk about him.

"What did you say?"

“Nothing,” the flexible Desk sat down obediently. “What brings you here this time?”

"What else could a marriage alliance have?" the elder said earnestly. "You're not getting any younger, it's time to..."

"Stop, I'm still young."

As expected of father and son, he knew exactly what the elder was going to say the moment he opened his mouth.

"I could never agree to an arranged marriage. What era are we living in? Why are they still doing this?"

Desk scoffed, "If a marriage alliance is so good, why don't you send my brother?"

The elder said, "Your brother deserves better."

Descartes: "Get away from me, I'm not your son."

"It doesn't matter what your opinion is, I've already agreed on your behalf. The marriage partner is the candidate insect queen. When you go back this time, correct your bad habits and don't embarrass me!"

Before he could even speak, his mouth was covered and he was forced to agree. Desk was filled with resentment.

"Ugh, so what if she's the queen insect?! I haven't even agreed yet!!"
