She shook her head, "No, just remembered something from the past."

Gold Lotus withdrew its claws and sat back down, "Master, I haven’t heard you talk about your past before."

It had asked several times while on Blue Star, but the master always casually brushed it off.

After returning to the Empire and considering the relationship between the master and Wayne Lane, it thought the master was also from the Empire.

But it believed that the imperial royal family couldn’t possibly raise someone with a personality like its master’s.

"My past..." Hannah paused for a moment, then smiled again, "I don’t have much of a past."

In her memory, the fond recollections of Southport only lingered up to when she was five years old; afterward, she became a criminal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A criminal in Southport, a witch in Brie, a monster in the royal household.

Such terms always surrounded her.

Only Arnold Simmons had told her that she was a star in the sky.

A brilliant and dazzling star.

...

Arnold Simmons was in charge of piloting the starship, and by the time they reached Nine Realms, three days had passed.

It was quite a swift journey.

Nine Realms wasn’t quite like the rumors, wasn’t a stretch of barren wasteland, nor was it a land of fissures, nor the abyss of legends.

It was just an ordinary-looking city, yet everywhere was permeated with high technology.

It looked very similar to Mo City in the Empire.

Arnold Simmons had his own private residence here.

After completely taking over Nine Realms, he had abolished the so-called imperial system and moved the management from their high positions to behind the scenes.

"The things you need have already been ordered," Arnold Simmons said, "Do you need a separate space, or shall we go directly to mine?"

As he uttered the last words, Arnold Simmons’s voice inexplicably softened.

Gold Lotus, exhausted, lay on the ground, moving its ears, its attitude towards Arnold Simmons remained cool and somewhat hostile.

Despite knowing that the man before it was the villain from Blue Star, it couldn’t change its demeanor.

Hannah, after a brief consideration, made a direct decision, "Let’s go to yours, it’s more convenient."

Arnold Simmons nodded, turned to give instructions to someone, a smile he couldn’t hide tugging at his lips.

That sight made his subordinates break out in a cold sweat.

It was really too unusual.

The news that Hannah had accompanied Arnold Simmons spread the day they arrived, and everyone in the management knew that their new sovereign had a beautiful fiancée.

Not a girlfriend, a fiancée.

This was confirmed by Arnold Simmons himself when someone inquired.

He held absolute power in Nine Realms, and no one would question his decisions.

Yet there were still those who couldn’t contain their curiosity about Hannah’s identity, but Hannah had only shown her face on the day of arrival, thereafter staying in Arnold Simmons’s residence without coming out.

Arnold Simmons’s residence had a large underground chamber.

In it, Hannah saw Arnold Simmons’s mecha.

It was black.

And suited him very well.

Arnold Simmons said it was prepared for him by his father when he was young, called "Flowing Light."

Hannah was quite curious, leaning in for a closer look, she noticed the fine lines on the mecha; indeed, if light shone upon it, it would look like the shimmering of flowing light.

Somehow, Flowing Light and the Tree Star set aside matched well.

One black, one white; one was the night sky, the other was the stars and moon on the night sky.

In the following days, Hannah stayed in Arnold Simmons’s residence, busy dealing with the damage to the Tree Star and never ventured out.

But the people outside were unaware of the reason.

Rumors gradually became bolder.

At first, people were merely speculating that the new sovereign had gotten a fiancée.
