Chapter 1651 - Setting up a scam by deliberately causing idents
Gaia stared at Selena with her vast, starry eyes without moving. The information flow on the screen
seemed to stutter for a second before a line of text appeared.
"[Highest level confidential file detected. No one has permission to view unless Her Majesty is
present.]"
Selena thought, "Has my father really taken precautions against me?" But Gaia was created by her and
she had the highest level of authority. Even her father couldn''t surpass her.
Moreover, he said "Her Majesty," not "monarch." There was only one possibility left...
Selena''s eyes widened slightly. She realized that she had sealed this information herself through Gaia
and ordered that no one could ess it unless the Empress herself was present.
But Selena knew clearly that she never imnted any restrictions regarding this matter into Gaia. If she
had, then she would have suspected the identity of that big brother long ago.
There was only one possibility left...
She was betrayed by her father! Selena had been the Empress for thirteen years, and she was
cautious of everyone except her father. Without her knowledge, he took the highest level of authority
from her and used it in this situation. And now, here they were.
Gaia knew that Selena was the Empress, but her body wasn''t hers anymore, so she couldn''t execute
be aplete Selena, she would never be able to ess files rted to this matter.
This was what they called "digging your own grave."
Selena''s face darkened with clouds of anger.
Sensing the mood of its master''s depression, Gaia looked at Selena on the screen and another line
appeared:
[Upgrade intelligent AI imnted with higher authority; forcefully destroy limiting programs.]
Selena saw this as an option. But Gaia controlled all aspects of normal operations within the alliance
including defense onnd, sea and air lines especially in military technology which is almost entirely
ruled by it alone. Forcing destruction of limiting programs would inevitably affect internal system
operations which could rm those old men and women in charge of the alliance - especially since she
still held this embarrassing identity...
This could turn into a big mess!
Moreover if enemies caught wind that Gaia had vulnerabilities then they might take advantage leading
to even greater disaster.
She couldn''t risk the safety of the entire empire for her own selfish desires.
Selena took a deep breath. "I''ll think of another way."
With that, she turned and started walking towards the door. But just as she took her first step,
something soft wrapped around her calf.
Lowering her head, Selena saw a silver-haired doll in a ck robe swinging on her skirt with great
effort. It looked exactly like Gaia behind her, only in miniature form.
As Selena finally noticed it, the little guy''s delicate face twisted into an incredibly demonic expression of
crying and usation.
Its deep and eerie eyes stared straight at Selena as if looking at a super viiness.
Selena said nothing as she looked at the doll and finally remembered its origin: it was Stanley''s
birthday gift to her on her 18th birthday - a mini Gaia that could move freely.
Although it didn''t have Gaia''s powerful ruling ability, it had some of its permissions. As Selena was not
well enough to visit Gaia in person all the time, Mini-Gaia acted as an intermediary to solve many
problems for them both.
Stanley spent countless hours creating this gift for Selena privately; however, on the same day she
received this gift there was an emergency crisis at the empire border requiring immediate support.
She left little Gaia in the care of Wang Ting and stepped onto the battlefield with determination.
Later on, she remained there forever.
Selena lowered her head and picked up the little creature, rubbing its head as she chuckled, "I''m back."
Little Gaia sat upright in her palm, crying pitifully with a face that said fort me." Selena pinched its
cheek yfully and said, "I shouldn''t have been gone for so long. I apologize."
In an instant, little Gaia stopped crying and broke into a smile. With big eyes bent upwards and two
small paws grabbing Selena''s fingers tightly, it let out a soft whimper before biting down on her finger
and hanging there motionless.
Selena looked at the small creature hanging from her hand - a professional freeloader if ever there was
one - not feeling any pain but realizing that this little thing hadpletelytched onto her now.

However, given Selena''s current awkward status as an outsider who resembled the empress herself
and had just been taken in by those two people as their adopted daughter; if she were to take little Gaia
out openly where anyone who knew about it could see them... well then anyone would suspect that she
had ulterior motives! If things got too big then people might even start to wonder whether or not Gaia
had betrayed them...
As Selena walked out of the door, she couldn''t help but think about how to convince the researchers at
the institute to let her take Gaia with her. The little creature seemed to sense her thoughts and scurried
down her dress before running off towards a corner of the room.
After a moment, Gaia returned with a pure white mini mask held high above its head. It tugged at
Selena''s skirt and climbed into her arms, deftly cing the mask on its face before looking up at
Selena expectantly.
Selena was mesmerized by the two eyes peering out from behind the mask and fell into a deep silence.
Seeing that she hadn''t agreed yet, Gaia tilted its head and ced an expression on its delicate face
that could make anyone want to cry for it.
Finally relenting, Selena said "Okay fine. You win." She then sternly warned Gaia not to show its face in
front of other people.
Gaia immediately burst intoughter before putting the mask back on and happily perching itself on
Selena''s shoulder as they left through the front gate.
As they walked away from their home towards their destination, Selena contemted how best to
persuade those at work that taking Gaia with her was necessary for sess in their research
endeavors.
After Selena went in, the guards outside were still pondering over Gaia''s unusual behavior. They
looked at Stanley standing at the door. The young master of the Soo family was well-known among
nobles and rarely unknown to anyone. And with the monarch''s handwritten approval for his entourage,
there should be no problem. But Gaia''s emotions were too abnormal.
The guards hadn''t figured out why yet when they saw Selena had alreadye out of the maze. She
still wore her sunsses, covering most of her face and looking like nothing was wrong.
But...
All the guards'' eyes collectively fell on Selena''s shoulder, on that small doll, their expressions freezing
along with their thoughts.
If Stanley hadn''t stepped forward to block her first, they would definitely have been unable to control
themselves and instinctively aimed their guns at her.
