Be spoiled after rebirth novel Chapter 1651

Chapter 1651 - Setting up a scam by deliberately causing accidents

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 access it unless the Empress herself was present.

But Selena knew clearly that she never implanted 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 commands. Unless she could find a way to retrieve her old body and merge it with her soul again to become a complete Selena, she would never be able to access files related 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 implanted 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 on land, 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 alarm 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 black 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 accusation.

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 placing 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 placed 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 into laughter 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 contemplated how best to persuade those at work that taking Gaia with her was necessary for success 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 already come out of the maze. She still wore her sunglasses, 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.
