Daphne smiled and said, "That's indeed a good idea. I've studied professional opera. Wait a moment while I have them find some equipment."
Yang Ming did not expect to see the Princess lifting her skirt with a smile, clearly in high spirits.
Catherine whispered, "Princess, it's only you who dares to sing for the common people."
"What's there to be afraid of," Yang Ming maintained his smile and squeezed a phrase through his teeth, "Why should royalty and nobility be different? In a broad sense, aren't we all human?"
"Alright," Catherine held his arm, softly leaning into his embrace, "I wonder how much longer we can enjoy this kind of life."
Yang Ming wanted to say for a lifetime, but he swallowed the words back down.
He had too much to do to easily promise such a long-term commitment.
Catherine murmured, "I'm preparing to establish a secret alliance to connect with intelligence organizations of the Free Federation externally, and internally create a tight hierarchical structure to promote some ideas in the peripheral areas of the Empire."
"Hmm, go for it,"
Yang Ming replied softly:
"This path is long and fraught with challenges, it could be your career. I'll keep the joys of life for you on my end."
"Thank you," Catherine said dreamily.
Yang Ming chuckled but did not discuss this further with her, as they quietly embraced.
A small airship flew over, and after landing in the street, the airship's two wing doors opened, revealing a simple layout inside.
Daphne put on a long dress, sitting behind a standing microphone as several floating spheres with high-power fidelity speakers flew out, creating a stereo sound environment.
"Hello everyone! I am Daphne, a singer unable to debut, and today I am honored to be invited by our White Ghost, Count Strong, to perform a song for everyone, 'When the Starlight Shines Again.'"
It was clear that Daphne was a bit nervous.
The maids helping distribute food below were stunned.
However, before the maids could step forward to stop her, the melodious music had already started, and Daphne began to sing with her eyes closed.
"Not bad," Yang Ming murmured, "Didn't see it coming, this pampered Princess is also quite talented."
Catherine chuckled, quietly watching Daphne's beautiful figure, and began humming along.
...
Meanwhile, in the government office building on Saka Star, in the first-floor lobby.
026 crossed her arms, quietly watching Han Xiang and Han Yin in front of her. Han Xiang smiled timidly on the side, but Han Yin had already started rolling up her sleeves, warming up her wrists and ankles.
The government staff hiding behind windows and doors were all peeking their way.
026 frowned and said, "So, we can't settle this conflict outside?"
"No need, there are plenty of witnesses here," Han Yin raised her chin slightly, "I believe I need to prove to you that just following the boss for a long time doesn't qualify you to lead the two of us."
026 asked, "How do we settle this?"
"A contest of combat," Han Yin smiled confidently.
026 nodded, unzipped her tracksuit, revealing a sport vest underneath, and tossed the jacket aside, straightened her chest, and lifted her chin, her mechanical spine lighting up segment by segment.
Her ear-length short hair swayed slightly as she assumed a basic free-fight starting posture.
Han Yin instinctively swallowed, transformed people?
Han Xiang nervously tugged at Han Yin, softly shouting, "Sister, don't compete, you'll lose!"
"Why would I lose?"
"She's at least an E!"
"What? Uh, where's your focus running off to!"
Han Yin brushed Han Xiang's arm aside, huffed softly, and as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Palace's Antenna Organization, demonstrated her powerful explosiveness, her slender body shot towards 026 like an arrow.
026 snorted softly, launching a straightforward bow-step straight punch.
A series of reflexive actions flashed through Han Yin's mind, the optimal solution being to use Soft Skill to wrap around 026's narrow waist... Damn, such a slim waist, such a large chest, this is obviously done with aesthetic surgery! Certainly not present in nature!
Suddenly!
026's clenched fist opened, and a weak electric arc extended from her five fingertips, a silver-white electric beam striking Han Yin's chest directly.
Secret technique: Mechanical Spine Discharge!
Han Yin went into shock instantly, trembling a few times before crashing into 026, who grabbed her shoulder.
The next instant, 026 lowered herself and lifted Han Yin effortlessly.
026 wiped her nose calmly and said, "What era is this where people still use melee combat, no sense of technology at all."
Han Yin rolled her eyes, her body twitching slightly, as crystalline saliva trickled from the corner of her mouth.
The surrounding staff could only take photos with their internet devices.
Who dared interfere with the White Ghost's few maids fighting?
Han Xiang discreetly recorded her sister's embarrassing situation with her internet device, picked up 026's clothes, and called out "Leader" as she hurriedly followed.
"Where is the conference room for your government officials' meeting? I am Earl Hanton's assistant, here is a document approved by him, please check."
To facilitate operations on Saka Star, 026 added some tech ornamentation to her face, and her biometric information had already been modified in advance by Lyu.
Having worked with Lyu for a long time, 026 had accumulated a lot of tech and ruthless methods.
...
Three days later, Daphne's fleet slowly departed from the horizon of Saka Star.
The maids couldn't stand it any longer, forcibly dragging Daphne away.
Otherwise, she was about to hold a charity concert on Saka Star, debuting on the spot to become the first Princess-level singer idol in Empire's history.
