Rebirth: The Universe's Hidden Heiress-Chapter 135: Farce Coming to an End (2)

Morris, muttering about how other people’s sisters weren’t as unlovable as her from a young age, pulled out some yellowed papers and his optic computer from his pocket, "Here are both the paper and electronic versions. Which one do you want?"

"The electronic version," Donny said, quickly receiving the evidence Morris sent her.

After a few seconds of silence, she couldn’t help asking Morris, "How did you manage to steal these family records from the houses of other former nobles?"

Morris spoke seriously, "This isn’t stealing, dear sister. I got these documents a long time ago. Before I left home, I told those arrogant kids that I wanted to be a bard, to sing epics. So they brought these from their homes for me, hoping I’d compose flattering poems about their family histories."

He had the intention of fooling the kids, but never imagined that this thoughtless act would bring such convenience now. These former nobles’ family histories clearly stated how they fled during the insectoid invasion, using the public as human shields, all written with arrogance and cold indifference.

Donny was speechless for a moment, then submitted her application to join the Stellar Corps and posted these documents using her family’s account. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Yuka was contemplating how to subtly ask Donny about her decision when the butler excitedly shouted, "Master, Donny has posted new evidence!"

Yuka exited the chat and saw Donny’s new post. It simply read "Evidence" with accompanying images that firmly pinned the royal family and nobles to a pillar of shame.

Within two minutes of Donny’s evidence being released, those who had doubts about the hidden history were left speechless.

The royal palace was surrounded by angry citizens shouting to overthrow the monarchy and even attempting to break in and set fire.

Fred, dragged by his mother through a secret passage, stumbled forward in the dark, overwhelmed by fear, unease, and regret.

As darkness seemed to have no end and engulfed him, he wondered in the last moment before passing out if he still had a chance to apologize to those he had hurt.

Meanwhile, after reviewing the new evidence, Yuka understood that Donny’s decision put her in direct opposition to the royal family and nobles. She didn’t ask why Donny wanted to join the Stellar Corps, but instead sent her an encouraging emoticon, telling her to seek help if she ever felt in danger.

Donny and Morris, leaving their family estate to head to the school for temporary shelter, received Yuka’s message. Donny couldn’t help but smile, which Morris saw and said sourly, "She never sends me messages."

Donny’s smile faded as she reminded Morris, "Yuka is already with Admiral Kuba."

"They’re not married yet..." Morris’s voice trailed off under Donny’s stern gaze and finally sighed, "Alright, I promise not to interfere with them. But if they break up, I’ll still try my luck."

As Donny and Morris finally stepped out of the Horn family’s territory, Donny felt as if a weight that had been restraining her was lifted.

Vivian, who had been waiting with her luggage on the roadside for a while, saw Donny and Morris approaching and stood up excitedly, waving at them. "Let’s go, back to school. We’ll meet up with Yuka once she announces the gathering point!"

Morris patted Donny on the shoulder with a smile, "Let’s go find her together."

Meanwhile, Yuka, seeing two more members added to her army, smiled slightly.

The people of the Alliance were busy pursuing the royals and nobles who had fled once again, while also urging the Alliance Army to apologize.

In the headquarters of the Alliance Army, the air in the meeting room was tense. Everyone was frowning, silently staring at their opticomputers. They understood that continuing to ignore the public’s dissatisfaction would lead to a loss of trust and support.

They couldn’t negotiate protection for the Alliance in exchange for the public’s forgiveness and non-pursuit, as that would further damage the image of the Alliance Army in the eyes of the people. It might even provoke armed resistance from the public and benefit the now-dominant Science Academy.

Finally, General Fleet Admiral sighed deeply, pressing his forehead wearily, "Respond."

They couldn’t let the situation worsen.

General Fleet Admiral reflected on the origin of everything. Toru and Kimiko, they were both closely connected to Yuka. He knew that Yuka definitely had something to do with this. He inclined to believe that Yuka had planned all this long ago, and thus their defeat was not entirely disgraceful.

For a moment, he even regretted using tactics to force Yuka to study at UUA. If not for that, she wouldn’t have met those two and wouldn’t have dug up these old affairs in pursuit of the truth.

But regret was useless now.

Two minutes later, the people on the interstellarnet refreshed their pages and widened their eyes to see that the Alliance Army, which had been playing dead, finally responded.

The official statement from the Alliance Army read:

We acknowledge our mistakes and extend a sincere apology to everyone. General Fleet Admiral, knowing but not reporting, has resigned. After the voting ends tonight, we will announce the next General Fleet Admiral. Please trust the Alliance Army once again. This time, we will do our utmost to protect everyone!

To the surprise of everyone at the Alliance Army headquarters, people’s reaction wasn’t as fervent as they had anticipated.

There were no lengthy expressions of forgiveness or gratitude, nor were there extensive criticisms.

The day had been too full of shocks, and the emotional roller coaster had left people somewhat mentally exhausted.

As for the statement from the Alliance Army, although the resignation of General Fleet Admiral seemed significant, and the Alliance Army appeared to have shown sincere intention, the timing raised eyebrows. Considering that the General Fleet Admiral was already in the midst of a term change election and the vote was scheduled to conclude that evening, many felt the Alliance Army’s gesture was somewhat perfunctory.

As for the promise made by the Alliance Army...

After a while, one comment gradually gained popularity and climbed to the top position:

"Guys, I’ve got a suggestion. I suddenly have this feeling that the Stellar Corps, created by Yuka, seems more reliable than the Alliance Army. So, does anyone want to enlist with me?"
