Chapter 245: Alliance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The following morning, news of Ke Lang’s suicide in prison spread. Sami, speaking on behalf of his father, promised that the Sam family would sell various ingredients to the empire’s citizens at the lowest prices in the future as compensation for the mermaids affected by the incident. This helped calm the situation.

By the time Sami found Loya, it was evident that maintaining her high status was becoming difficult because Sami had discovered her true identity.

“No need to be nervous. Ke Lang is already dead. You won’t be implicated in this matter,” Sami reassured her.

Sami looked down on Loya’s pettiness and continued, “I won’t expose your identity either. We shall be allies from now on. Don’t worry.”

When Loya received an email from the interstellar space instructing her to contact Sami, with the promise of cooperation and the elimination of Liao Ning, she was initially skeptical. However, she was surprised to establish immediate contact with Sami. Not only did she rid herself of Ke Lang, but she also gained an ally.

Nevertheless, after experiencing numerous twists and turns, Loya knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

“Why are you helping me? What do you want from me?” Loya asked cautiously, fully aware that people wouldn’t assist her without expecting something in return.

“Heh, what can you offer me? Money? Status?” Sami found it amusing. “We’re simply utilizing your current identity to get rid of Liao Ning. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Surely, Your Highness is aware of that?” Loya asked curiously, “Do you hold a grudge against Liao Ning?”

“That’s none of your concern. Just know that our goals align,” Sami replied cryptically.

Loya realized that individuals from the Interstellar Alliance were supporting Sami, particularly when she recalled that someone at the food competition had also desired Liao Ning’s demise. She sensed she was glimpsing the truth. Since they aimed to deal with Liao Ning, they shared the same objective.

Consequently, she inquired, “What is your plan then? What do you need me to

Only then did Sami reveal her plan with a smile.

When Loya followed Sami’s plan and approached the king with her proposal, he displayed no belief in her words.

“Is that truly what you think? Are you willing to be Liao Ning’s assistant?” he questioned.

Since Loya’s arrival in the empire, her livestream had indeed captured the attention of the people and nobility. However, the king knew well that Loya was merely a self-centered woman seeking a place in high society. Liao Ning’s presence posed a threat to her status, making it unlikely for her to readily accept the role of Liao Ning’s assistant.

“Father, you’re right,” Loya responded sincerely, gazing at him. “I am indeed inferior to Liao Ning. The same was true in the interstellar space. Each of her ancient delicacies is unique, but I lack the ability to match her. However, the empire is my only path now. I am willing to learn the art of ancient delicacies for the empire and continue managing a royal food manor. I am dedicated to serving the empire.”

The king remained skeptical, narrowing his eyes at her.

After a moment, he spoke, “Very well. Collaborate with Liao Ning to conduct an ancient food livestream every other day. Continue your work at the food manor. You may leave.”

Having obtained the king’s approval, Loya let out a sigh of relief. As long as the king still perceived her as valuable, she could live comfortably and also have an opportunity to eliminate Liao Ning entirely.

Once Liao Ning was gone, she would be the sole remaining princess in the royal family capable of cooking ancient delicacies. At that time, she would be able to pursue her desires without constraint.

Envisioning this outcome lightened her steps. She hurriedly made her way to Liao Ning’s room.

Upon seeing her enter, Liao Nai transformed into a wolf and snarled at her. “What are you doing here? Get out!”

Loya did her best to maintain a friendly smile. “Liao Ning, I acknowledge my past mistakes, but I also desire to contribute to the people of the empire. I have informed Father that I will serve as your assistant in the future and am willing to learn the art of ancient delicacies from you. I hope you will be willing to teach me.”

Liao Ning regarded her with disbelief. If this were the Zhu Fei of the past, she would never have uttered such words.

Although Liao Ning was a little suspicious, she still stroked Liao Nails fur and said, “My ancient food recipe is public to begin with. I have no objections if you’re willing to learn it.”

Upon hearing her words, Loya looked very happy. “That’s great! What are you doing for the live-stream today? I’ll help you prepare the materials now.”

Seeing that Liao Ning was silent, she quickly explained, “Don’t worry. In the future, the prices of the ingredients you make for ancient delicacies will definitely not increase. Ke Lang has already committed suicide to avoid punishment. No one in the empire will dare to do this again
