The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]-Chapter 28 - EMMY’S WORRIES

EMMY wasn't sure if she heard it correctly, but did her son really just said that the only prince of the Empire was here in their house right now? She wanted to make sure that she heard it correctly. But when she raised her head, he saw Astrid already sneaking into his room. Why did it feel like this kid just shamelessly thrown a problem to her for her to solve?

She still knew that Astrid was not the type to make a joke about something like this. But deep inside, she still hoped that he was just trying to prank her. Because the presence of the prince here could not be good for their family. Anyone who's from the capital could never be a good news. Especially if that person was someone with power and influence. And who could be more powerful than the prince? Only the Emperor himself!

She walked towards the living room and peered outside the window. There, standing before Reas were two tall men. One was bald, but the lack of hair could hide his handsome features. Especially with those expressive brown eyes. The other had his upper body naked, showing his strong and firm chest and abdominal muscles. But seeing his white hair and pair of golden eyes, Emmy immediately recognized who he was. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

She took a step back, her face full of shock. It was really the prince, Wulfric de Lunaris! She couldn't mistake him for anyone else. She had seen the prince in person before. Even though that was more than two decades ago and he was still a child back then, that hair and eye color couldn't have belonged to anyone else.

But what was he doing in their planet?

She could feel her heart started beating crazily. From fear or worry, she couldn't even tell. No, she needed to calm down. If she panicked here, it would just make her look more suspicious.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. There's no reason for her to be too nervous. She had only met the prince once before and the other was still a kid back then. It was during one of the balls held at the imperial palace. The only reason she remembered him was because of his status. Not to mention, all the news about him throughout the years. While she was just one of many who attended that party. There's no reason for the prince to remember her.

If she really should worry, then it's for her husband. The prince was now a famous general. There's a big chance that he had seen information about Gage in the military database. So, she quickly sent a message to her husband. She couldn't call him directly in fear that the prince outside might hear their conversation. After all, the other still had an SSS level physique.

[Husband, don't go home until I tell you to.]

After sending that, she walked towards the kitchen and removed the apron she was wearing. She also washed her face and fixed her hair, making her look more presentable. Then she also turned off all the virtual pictures of their family displayed on the wall.

When she walked out, the expression on her face was already back to normal. One couldn't even see that she was panicking just a moment ago.

"Reas, what are you doing still not letting out guest enter the house?" she scolded her son. Reas only frowned, looking very unwilling. She resisted the urge to pull the kid's ear and just turned to the prince and his companion. She made a very standard bow and said, "Welcome to our family's home, Your Highness. I apologized if my sons haven't been so hospitable."

Wulfric stared at the petite woman with long ice-blue hair. He narrowed his eyes at the woman for a bit, no one knew what he was thinking. Then he just stared at the woman's face, trying to find any features similar to Aster. But he couldn't find any. She did look a bit like that other brat though. Was this woman really Aster's mother?

Emmy felt goosebumps being stared at by the prince. She felt panicked again. Did he recognize her? But then at the end, he just seemed like he suddenly disliked her. What did she do?

Although confused, she still tried to retain the gentle smile on her face. "May I ask if there's anything we could help Your Highness with?"

"First, I need a bath and change of clothes," Wulfric said without even a hint of shyness or humbleness.

Reas almost didn't glare at the arrogant prince. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Emmy still maintained her gentle smile. What else could she do? Could she still refuse and throw out this little ancestor? "Of course." She turned to her son who looked obviously annoyed. "Reas, go and take His Highness to the guest room and bring him a change of clothes."

"Mom—" When he saw his mother glare at him, he smartly closed his mouth and looked at the prince. "Follow me," he said through gritted teeth.

Wulfric only smirked as if trying to annoy him even more.

Then the two walked inside the house.

Edmund let out a sigh. Then he walked towards the petite woman. "Hello, Madam. I am Captain Edmund Barton. I'm sorry for disturbing the peace of your family. I promise we will leave as soon as our escorts arrive in the planet."

"Then will they arrive before night falls?"

Edmund looked at the woman who looked at him with expectant blue eyes. Why did it feel like she wanted them to leave as soon as possible?
