Chapter34
At this moment, Gustav suddenly reached out his long arm, put it around her shoulders, and walked in with her.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said softly.
Erwina really wanted to say she actually wasn’t scared, she just got startled for a second.
And your legs were long, could you walk slower? Her legs were short and she couldn’t keep up!
But I just complained about it in my head. Luckily, after a few steps, Gustav noticed Erwina seemed to be falling behind, so he slowed down.
After a while, they came to a fancy reception room. There was a red leather sofa, a carpet with pretty patterns, and on the shelf were actually the porcelain pieces Erwina had seen on ancient Earth.
This was really precious!
Leland and Manya were already dressed up and sitting there, like they had been waiting for a long time.
Erwina had seen videos of Leland and Manya in the Interstellar News before. Leland was handsome and elegant, and the Empress, Manya Hamilton, had red curly hair just like her sister.
But her eyes and brows were softer, and she seemed to have a much better tèmper than Gina.
When Erwina walked in with Gustav, Leland and Manya immediately

stood up. Leland walked over quickly, his eyes landing on the military
school uniform Erwina wearing.
was
“Did she come from Empire University?”
“Yeah, call her auntie.”
Leland looked at the pretty girl who was just in her early twenties, then looked at the serious look on his uncle’s face.
I suddenly felt kind of hard to explain.
Erwina was even more embarrassed. She saw Leland and Manya looking like they’d just been struck by lightning. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in and reached out to tug Gustav’s sleeve.
The cold Commander Mullen lowered his eyes to watch her little move, and his heart softened again.
But there was a bit of confusion in his eyes, like he was asking her what
was wrong.
Erwina:
This was such a huge social death scene, just let a bolt of lightning strike her and send her back in time again!
Luckily, at that moment, the gentle Queen Manya walked over. She affectionately said to Erwina, “Auntie, what’s your major? My sister Gina just started her freshman year at Empire University too, she’s in the medical department.”
Erwina quickly said, “What a coincidence, I’m in the same dorm as Gina, and we’re in the same major too.”

The chatterbox was opened.
Thanks, Gina.
Manya pulled Erwina over to the sofa and sat down, and asked the robot to bring some juice.
The awkward atmosphere from earlier disappeared quickly. Leland also calmed down. He looked at his uncle a bit sadly and said, “Have you guys decided when to have the wedding?”
He didn’t even make it to his only real uncle’s wedding, and that kept Leland up for days.
Before Dad and Mom went to travel around the universe, they told him to take good care of his uncle. But while he wasn’t paying attention, his. uncle just quietly got married… Oh no, not married off, just married.
Gustav: “Let’s talk about this later, I’ve been busy lately.”
“Oh.” Leland was going to talk about something else, but Gustav looked really tired.
He asked, “Do you have anything else?“.
“…It’s gone.”
“Did you forget anything?”
Leland saw the cold look from his uncle and suddenly shivered. He really did remember something.
He immediately had someone bring out a dark blue gift box, about the size of a palm, with metal frames around the edges, shining with a golden. light.

Erwina took a look, that frame might have been gold.
She didn’t take it right away, but looked at Gustav first. After he nodded, she reached out and took it.
For some reason, it just felt kind of like when a kid went out, someone offered them something, and they could only take it if the adult said okay…
The two finally left the palace together.
When they got back on the Gustav aircraft, Erwina let out a sigh of relief and slumped down there.
She whispered, “Why did you make His Majesty call me aunt? He’s the emperor, you know.”
“I was his uncle, and just now the meeting was a private one between our family members.”
Erwina understood, but it was still a bit hard to accept.
His Majesty not only had to call her little aunt, but also had to give her a wedding gift. So miserable.
Forget it, the awkward moment already passed anyway, so there’s no need to think about it and make myself uncomfortable again.
She took out that box from earlier and handed it to Gustav, “Here, you keep this.”
Gustav looked really sleepy, his half–closed eyes slowly opened, his fair skin had a slight pinkish glow.
