Spacecraft,
Grandor was sitting on her throne, taking a sip of wine.
Wearing spectacles, she looked quite busy.
Her floating throne slowly carried her back toward her chambers.
She picked up a sheet of paper and began writing down her plans.
Soon, she started drawing figures.
The drawing was impossible to understand.
Even Pratik would give up.
Ever since I deduced their plan, I've wanted to meet them.
Especially the prince, Yash.
I licked my lips.
That boy...
Maybe I should keep him for myself.
Making him my personal slave would be worth it.
Doesn't he have a cute face?
He could become a good toy once he grows up.
Tasty~
Some information was collected from Haidoro.
The rest was provided by Sir Daimon himself.
As for what I still need...
My spies on Planet Asen are already watching their team.
The real question is:
Should I keep him as my pet in my chamber?
Or should I keep him inside Ruin Society?
[Grandor]: I could have been the smartest Personnel...
The wine glass shattered in her hand.
Her face remained calm.
[Grandor]: If it wasn't for that man.
By making Prince Yash my pet, I will finally claim the crown for myself.
The spacecraft landed on Planet Asen.
Asen,
Ruin Society,
Grandor walked through ruined stone structures and broken monuments.
The settlement was located in a high-altitude region.
From there, she could see the people of Ruin Society going about their daily lives.
Their homes?
Simple huts.
Many people had died from famine recently, which was why a large graveyard stood nearby.
Even clean drinking water was considered a blessing.
Grandor sat on a stone throne, crossing one leg over the other.
Looking down at the settlement, she laughed.
[Grandor]: Look at that.
The insects are crawling.
How awful.
Her guards laughed with her.
All except one.
Ratan.
The people below struggled to obtain even a single meal a day.
[Grandor]: These are the descendants of those who once opposed my rule.
When I became ruler, I separated them from the rest of society and turned this place into a living hell.The people outside don't even know this settlement exists.I told you before.
Destroying a civilization is far easier than building one from scratch.
Hahaha...
She scattered a handful of rice grains below.
People immediately gathered around them.
[Grandor]: Eat, you filthy vermin!
She laughed loudly.
Several people stood before the grains.
Their faces were filled with conflict.
"Do not forget our pride."
The voice came from a man leaning against a nearby tree.
He was skinny.
His face resembled Ratan's, though he looked older.
Perhaps in his thirties.
His name was Gin.
The people clenched their fists, trying to suppress their hunger.
A small child, crying from starvation, walked toward the rice.
Then buried it beneath the dirt.
"Go away, food."
The boy spoke while wiping his tears.
Gin looked away.
Many people had tears in their eyes.
Grandor laughed even harder.
[Grandor]: This is my favorite part.The only reason I throw rice is to watch this scene.
She stopped laughing.
[Grandor]: Very well.I should leave now. I still have many tasks to complete. Perhaps I'll play with you people again later.
She stood up abruptly and walked away with her guards.
Soon, she was gone.
The people returned to their work.
Their jobs?
Gathering sticks.
Collecting special stones and ores.
Transporting resources to the gate keepers.
None of them could leave Ruin Society.
Not a single one.
No child there had ever seen the outside world.
They were trapped inside this ruined pit of slavery.
When everyone had dispersed, Gin clenched his fists.
His eyes were bloodshot.
"Four days.That's all I need.You made us suffer through hell, Grandor.Now I will create one for you alone."
He walked toward the child and handed him some fruit.
Then turned to leave.
"But that's yours.Why are you giving it to me?Aren't you hungry?"
The child asked innocently.
Gin smiled.
"Haha.Your courage has already satisfied me, kid.That's enough."
He walked away.
To be continued...

EXTRAS:-
THE MISUNDERSTANDING
Earth,
Krishna was busy typing something on his computer.
Then he received a call.
"It's me, Arun."
Came the reply.
[Krishna]: Seems like you have completed your mission.
[Arun]: That's right.I am currently in Shinjuku.The mission was worth it. I saw a hen give birth to a buffalo.
[Krishna]: How is that possible?
[Arun]: It happened on an alien planet. Of course it's possible. I saw it with my own eyes.Maybe it was Planet D-24.
Arun spoke in his usual calm, playful tone.
Krishna (thinking): If they were alien species, then how are they supposed to be a hen and a buffalo?
[Arun]: I also saw a frog give birth to dogs.
[Krishna]: How is that supposed to—
[Arun]: Come on. I already told you it was an alien planet.
[Krishna]: I see.
Krishna replied with his usual calm, emotionless face.
At that moment, a woman approached Arun.
She was asking for donations for her delivery.
Arun immediately noticed the pillow hidden beneath her clothes.
She was pretending to be pregnant.
[Woman]: Please donate some money for my delivery.
"Why should I?Was I the one who made you pregnant?"
Was the reply of Arun in dramatic way.
Meanwhile, Krishna overheard that part of the conversation through the phone.
[Krishna]: A woman made Arun pregnant...Hmm...Perhaps that's possible on an alien planet too.
Krishna said with his straight emotionless face.
