Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 48 Marriage? I don’t think so!

The next morning, the light of stars once again splashed on this barren and barren land.

For Faerun, the hive city that stands in the desolate land, and most of its residents, this seems to be another ordinary day.

In the Governor's Palace at the top of the nest, it was a busy scene.

Long before dawn, the tens of thousands of servants living there were making final preparations for the arrival of the distinguished guests under the arrangements of the steward Kalman.

Flags embroidered with the family crest were hung on the palace columns, and hand-woven carpets extended from the airport to the banquet hall.

Even the personal guards of Cyrus who were responsible for guarding the palace were put on ceremonial attire, including tricorn hats with golden tassels and sky blue slanted shawls, polished leather boots and bayonets. It has the look of a French royal guard.

Standing under the dome of the banquet hall and watching the guards on both sides of the red carpet, for a moment, Otto had the illusion that he was King Louis. At this moment, a waiter came and made a reported.

"Sir, our distinguished guest has arrived."

Almost at the same time as the words fell, there was movement from the huge city gate in the distance that was enough to accommodate a knight mecha. As the thick door panel slowly opened, a slightly bloated figure wearing a red robe appeared. The figure suddenly appeared in Otto's sight.

As the visitor gradually approached, he saw that under the oil-stained hood, there was a face with not much flesh left, the throat and jaw had been replaced by metal, and a gear-shaped power ax had been completely removed. Holding it in his bloodless left hand, the ax handle made a crisp clanking sound when it collided with the ground.

There is no mistake, that is the Mechanicus messenger from Ota, Sage Perus. As an important partner of the family, Otto has long wanted to meet these mysterious gear boys.

After all, a group of red-robed tech masters who speak binary language, love body modification, and can go crazy chanting in front of machines and cannonballs are really cool in his opinion.

Seeing the sage passing by, the waiters stopped one after another to show respect and performed the gear salute towards him.

Driven by several pairs of mechanical legs, Perrus came to Otto. His body full of mechanical components made him look extraordinarily tall.

Soon, he heard the sage speak a binary language full of 0s and 1s in a pale voice, and then translated it into Gothic through the microphone located in his throat. Only then did Otto understand what he meant.

"On behalf of the Forging Master, I would like to send you my blessings."

Then, without waiting for Otto to respond, after raising his head and scanning the surrounding environment with his prosthetic eyes, Peruus obviously had something else to say.

"In addition, after analysis, I noticed that your servants seem to be very tired. Long hours of work will affect their fragile bodies."

The sage's words surprised Otto. Could it be that he was concerned about the health of those servants?

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a good person who cared about his subordinates, which is not common in the 40K universe.

However, it turns out that he obviously thought too much.

"Therefore, I suggest that you remove some of their brain lobes and transform them into professional waiters and servitors. If you have needs, I can personally preside over their operations. This will work without the need to eat or sleep." It can greatly improve their operational efficiency.”

Well, as expected of you.

After exchanging diplomatic words, the sage was led by two attendants to the meeting place. It was obvious that he was not interested in the delicacies and wine at the banquet.

Looking at the huge and weird figure of the other party, Otto noticed that the young representative of Trinity City appeared on the terrace on the second floor of the hall.

At this moment, he was observing everything happening on the field with a strange look in his eyes and a smile.

Not long after, amidst the exclamations of the officials in the banquet hall, another protagonist of this diplomatic meeting officially appeared in Otto's sight.

That was a woman of the same age as Raya. The slightly plain pure white dress did not affect her own temperament. Instead, it highlighted her unique temperament, like a flawless white dress. Crystal is also like the pure saint described in religious classics.

Accompanied by a male adjutant, the woman stood in front of Otto with a faint smile. Seeing this, Otto first raised a champagne glass from the waiter's tray, and then took the initiative to hand it to the other party. .

"First time we meet, Miss Noela, you are indeed as beautiful as the rumors say."

"I often hear people say that Miss Noela from Cologne Three is the most dazzling woman in the entire sector."

Otto's tone sounded full of kindness, even though the female governor from Cologne No. 3 in front of him actually had a competitive relationship with Haven, and a large-scale war broke out between the two families in the past. A small trade war.

Seeing this, Noela lowered her head and smiled, and then replied in the same tone.

"I have often heard that you are very good at attracting women, and it seems to be true."

As the words fell, Noila stretched out her hand to hold the wine glass handed by Otto, but she was not in a hurry to take it back, but continued to speak.

"The purpose of this visit is to discuss the recent situation in the empire and the star region. We also hope to take the opportunity to improve relations with the Cyrus family. Are you interested in this?"

This unexpected speech aroused Otto's interest, and at the same moment, he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the adjutant behind Noela.

From the beginning, the other party's eyes had been drifting towards the direction of Sigel on the terrace. At this time, the young man had disappeared. At the same time, Otto was keenly aware that several servants in the crowd had taken advantage of the situation. Without Kalman paying attention, they secretly left their post.

In this regard, Otto did not make too many remarks. He just put his left hand behind his back with a calm expression, made a gesture to the guard captain who was observing the situation not far away, and then replied pretending to be surprised.

"Really? Of course I am also happy to repair the relationship with Cologne Three, so what are you going to do?"

Immediately afterwards, Noela took the initiative to move closer and whispered in a sweet and melodious voice.

"Do you think a marriage can eliminate hundreds of years of grievances between families?"

While speaking, Noela took back the wine glass, and her fingers caressed the back of Otto's hand seemingly unintentionally. This seemingly inadvertent movement naturally attracted his attention.

"You mean you're going to have sex with me."

However, at this moment, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Noela’s words.

Otto noticed that Gray Wind, which was attached to him in the form of a swarm of nano-insects, suddenly reacted and began to become restless.

Soon, just when Noela was about to continue speaking.

A scream suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere in the banquet hall.

The sound came from the second floor. When many guests present looked up, in their frightened eyes they saw countless Defense Force soldiers holding laser rifles. Unknown to them, they had already occupied the terrace and the second floor. corridor.

At the same time, as the door of the banquet hall opened again, more soldiers quickly poured into the hall, and what appeared next to the soldiers were representatives of Trinity City.

- Siegel.

Seeing the banquet hall that had been controlled by guards and the horrified expressions of the hive officials present, the young man looked particularly proud.

"Everyone, the party is over."

"I declare that from now on the Hive City will be taken over by the Council of Trinity City."

"The history of the Sellers family is over."

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but commotion, but when they looked at Otto in the center of the venue.

The young governor was just calm and took another glass of champagne from the frightened waiter.

Then he drank it in one gulp under Noela’s curious eyes.
