Princess Daphne had never experienced such a level of awkwardness.

She sat by the window in the breakfast room, with two maids standing behind her. The person who was supposed to sit in front of her was currently right outside, passionately embracing Captain Catherine in full military uniform.

They even exchanged a mouth-to-mouth kiss.

This was on the street, and it was simply... making Daphne a bit reluctant to look directly.

But she still glanced at Catherine's face and figure from the corner of her eye.

Catherine's figure was on the more athletic side—well-proportioned, with a beautiful face, and slightly curly long hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding feminine charm equal to most movie stars.

Perhaps in terms of skin delicacy and facial features, the Spearhead Team Captain couldn't compare to the pampered Princess, but in terms of aura, Catherine's imposing spirit sparked some admiration in Daphne.

Downstairs, Yang Ming hugged Catherine's slender waist tightly, sniffing her long hair.

Catherine: "Dear, how are things going here... People are watching..."

Yang Ming finally released Catherine with a smile, saying, "Why did you come over?"

"I worried that the noble class would target you, so I applied for a long leave from above," Catherine voluntarily linked arms with Yang Ming, "They also let me bring a Poisoned Stinger Ship to express support for you."

Yang Ming replied, "Let them take the Poisoned Stinger Ship away; it's not good for the Supermodified Organization to openly oppose the Elder Court."

"Alright, I'll send a message now."

"Good thing you came; Princess Daphne arrived just half an hour ago."

"Uh," Catherine whispered, "Was it bad timing for me to come?"

"You came just in time," Yang Ming said with a smile, "In the next few days, wherever I go, you'll go too. We're in a free-loving, lawful relationship, so what are we afraid of?"

Catherine reminded, "It seems the Princess can be more helpful to you."

"If emotions are reduced to mere transactions, then my body will end up being nothing but soft bones, corrupted by power, and not the White Ghost."

Yang Ming wrapped her tightly in his arms, kissed her gently on the forehead, and softly said:

"I can be with you for about three or four days. Between us, let's not discuss politics; you can completely relax here with me."

"Alright then," Catherine glanced at the breakfast room door in front and whispered, "Wait for me, I'll go refresh and change clothes because I can't meet the Princess like this, too disrespectful."

Yang Ming sniffed his nose: "I detect a bit of competitiveness."

Catherine bit her lip, patted Yang Ming's backside, then with a somewhat provocative smile, walked toward the elevator with her floating luggage.

Yang Ming: She teased me.

This woman, oh, she was damn sweet.

Boss Yang stretched lazily, opened the door to the breakfast room, and entered with a refreshed mood, walking with a spring in his step.

Princess Daphne expressed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, and when Catherine appeared next to Yang Ming in a long dress, she greeted Catherine warmly and politely with a handshake and self-introduction.

The only comment from Daphne that might have been a little out of line was: "I greatly admire Mr. White Ghost."

Catherine smiled and nodded, responding: "This charismatic man who also provides a strong sense of security is indeed easy to be welcomed by women."

Beyond that, there's not much tension.

Daphne's morning agenda was to rest in the hotel, while Catherine's was to accompany Yang Ming in his endeavors.

At noon, Yang Ming brought Catherine along, inviting Daphne to tour his territory, and also took Catherine and Daphne to the building he visited yesterday.

Daphne's behavior was 'very Imperial Princess-like.'

Her expression grew solemn upon seeing the suffering people, and she joined the volunteers with her maids, helping distribute supplies.

Daphne planned to invite some journalists over to report the post-insect disaster condition on Saka Star, even willing to appear on camera to call for donations from the Imperial Nobles.

Yang Ming declined with a smile:

"Don't worry, Princess, the development plan here is already in place, and with Prince Kinov's assistance, funding isn't an issue. "

"Please trust my ability to help Saka Star thrive again, ensuring that the people here have enough to eat and wear. If you appear on camera, it will lead to extensive media coverage of the people's living conditions here. "

Daphne asked puzzledly: "What's the problem with that?"

"It may touch their dignity," Yang Ming said, "The Saka Star people have struggled on this planet for a long time, and they have their own character. Through my interaction with them, I've sensed the hidden spirit within them."

Daphne looked thoughtful.

"This spirit is extremely precious."

Yang Ming sighed lightly:

"The reform failure by Count Saka a hundred years ago led this once thriving and prosperous planet to rapid decline."

"Perhaps, these people don't wish to leave, but lack the means to develop on other planets. Nonetheless, after accepting this reality, they've formed a new concept."

"If you must give a name to this concept, you can simply understand it as—homeland."

"Homeland..."

"Yes," Yang Ming looked at the few children playing and romping in the distance, "In this era of interstellar navigation, this remains a precious entity that ignites self-sacrifice and dedication."

Daphne softly asked: "Is there anything I, as the Empire's Princess, can do for them?"

"Can you sing?" Yang Ming suddenly asked.

Catherine reminded nearby: "Hanton, this doesn't comply with the Imperial Nobles Law Code."
