Chapter 57 - There's A Traitor In The Lines Of The Diablo Empire

Oji Adowa wasn't all that weak, but malicious rumors circulated in noble circles, the work of his mother and older brothers. How could he be so weak if he was able to control his late father's Mecha Lieutenant?

However, nobody thinks about it when there is hot and juicy gossip circulating the high nobility and disgracing a Duke on top of that. What can a little gossip do to hurt a Duke in any way?

Well, Oji was single up to this point, of course, in one way or another he was happy single, the problem is his family and the elders of the duchy council who kept asking him who would be next duchess, no less than one omega, they insisted on this impossible point for Duke Adowa.

The worst was his Grandfather insisting that if he didn't marry an omega, he should give up the position of heir to his nephews. What was absurd with the neonatal generation by incubation, there was no way that Oji wouldn't have his own heirs.

However, for the rest of the Oji family, he was a type of disgrace since he was an eccentric alpha with a disability in physical status, for the noble and proud zerg warriors, this was the worst type of disability. So how could they allow Oji's defective genes to perpetuate themselves for the next generation of Dukes?

The young Duke Adowa could only swallow all this and move forward, fortunately, the support that his family gave to the crown prince, today Emperor Ada, came to fruition and Emperor Ada supported him as the legitimate successor of the duchy, which made the head Oji's hold on his neck to this day.

Oji who had been punished by Emperor Ada and who had come into conflict with the Omega Recessive, Prince Mu, looked at his well-organized and luxurious office, at all the papers on his desk, at the holographic screen that showed business images of him operating and let out a long breath.

"Master Oji, your lordship has a visit from the envoy of Marquis Taharka. However, this is an unscheduled visit. Do you want to receive a visit? " the housekeeper asked gently, placing the tray with some chamomile tea on the office table with a few light snacks.

Akya Mazi is a receptive omega woman, she is one of the few employees who aren't a robot, being the nanny who created Oji during childhood and part of adolescence.

Oji was very selfish and asked Akya to become a housekeeper and stay with him, after all, she was the only person he could trust in this entire mansion.

"It depends ... Who is the envoy?" Oji asked after sipping some hot tea, the light-colored liquid descended gently down his throat, warming his stomach and generating a little heat, he only now realized that his body was cold.

Oji felt a little bitterness in his mouth, even with the sweet and hot tea, the consequences of taking so many medicines to stabilize his physical condition caused his body to be colder than normal to the point that his skin was as cold as one of the disgusting Reptilians of the K-23 Star.

"It is Count Lutalo, or Major Lutalo as he is better known" Akya replied by pasting the snacks on the desk. She separated the already signed documents and was putting them on the tray. A digital copy is sent to everyone involved, the physical copies are taken to the Temple of Truth.

In the culture of zergs, whether the zerg diablos or the angelic zergs, there is a lot of relationship with religions, although religion and State don't mix, however, religions have an important role in the life of the zerg. The gods of the zerg weren't false or silent, they responded to the calls of those who asked and sent oracles with their own requests, which were considered divine orders, but divine orders were rare, usually always in relation to the rise of a ruler or a dangerous war.

There were three important temples for the Zergs, the Temple of Ashia the goddess of creation of zerg and fertility, the Temple of Silko the god of war and prosperity, and the Temple of Truth for the goddess Chioma, the goddess of justice and beauty. There are other temples, but these three are the most prominent that can be found on any planet dominated by the zerg.

The Temple of Ashia is where princes and emperors take their baptisms to improve their genes, that was the combination of a secret drug prescription and the divine blessing in the temple, it is also there that the rituals are performed for the prosperity of each locality, in addition to being responsible for the Foundation for the restructuring and shelter of refugees regardless of species.

The Temple of Silko is where the nobles take their blessings to help in the improvement of the genes and to help to have the courage for the combat, besides them, the people of the army are also blessed there every time they go out in the military campaign. There are smaller temples that civilians visit for the same purpose, except that there is a huge variety of Gods that can bless from intelligence, beauty, morals, courage, strength ... Finally, an infinite number of Gods for each improvement.

The Temple of Truth, on the other hand, is where documents are sacramental, if someone breaks the agreement in bad faith or maliciously for no apparent reason, a divine punishment falls on the "sinner", usually illness or financial loss, of course, the person loses prestige in the business world as it got on the bad side of a God.

That is why many merchants, businessmen, nobles, and even ordinary people send copies of paper documents to be burned in sacrifice and blessings to be sacraments and "read" by the goddess of justice.

"If it's him, then it's okay. The emperor must have something to say to me, "Oji Adowa replied, stretching. His fire-orange eyes shone coldly.

Major Lutalo is the younger brother of Marquis Taharka, but he too is one of the men under Emperor Ada, who won the noble title of Count for meritorious service.

All nobles with some prestige know that if Emperor Ada sends Berta Juma or Lutalo Taharka this is the same as being speaking directly to the emperor.

Minutes later Oji Adowa is in a private room sitting on the soft blue upholstered sofa looking at Major Lutalo who was wearing casual red clothes, highlighting his sky blue hair that was short and curly. The iris eyes were as clear as the blue agate stones. His skin was as dark and beautiful as a beautiful piece of dark mahogany, which highlighted the nobility of his family1.

Oji Adowa felt a little pressured by the pressure of a military Major and by the pheromones of an Extreme Alpha, the handsome and masculine face of the other party also did not help Oji to calm down.

The word beautiful wouldn't define Lutalo Taharka in the best precision, but the term wild animal would be something close, being beautiful to watch and dangerous to be close to.

"What does the Great Major bring to this duke's humble abode?" Oji Adowa started chatting after Major Lutalo had some strong black coffee, his thick, wide lips of a crimson hue that vaguely resembled the red berries that showed up in the spring were a separate spectacle that made Oji feel a little give in.

It was a secret to everyone that Oji Adowa, the duke who must marry an omega no matter what apparently, likes alpha men, the more masculine and stronger the pheromone (dominance) the more he was attracted. So watching Major Lutalo was a pleasure, but at the same time, it was torture to be able to look without being able to taste it.

"Emperor Ada only asked me to deliver just one message" Major Lutalo had a low, pleasant voice that made Oji feel warm in his groin, the kind of voice that is whispered in the ear makes anyone's mind get lost in lustful thoughts.

"If it is about Prince Mu, I have already said that I will not say anything about state secrets. And I will personally apologize and send gifts to him and his entourage. I didn't want to hurt the prince, nor am I aiming to harm Prince Gyasi "Oji Adowa started to say without waiting for the Major to say anything more.

Oji didn't think that the emperor needed him for anything at this time, he wasn't part of the military faction that supports Emperor Ada, he is part of the nobles who support financially and with mineral resources, so Oji couldn't think of anything at this moment that the emperor needed him.

"There is a traitor in the lines of our empire ... A traitor who is cooperating with the agents of Chaos1" Major Lutalo spoke calmly, as he placed the coffee mug on the table. Lutalo's calm gaze was on the attractive Duke Adowa, he was watching the other's reaction.
