Chapter 142 Expelled

Dr. Rubenstein chuckled as she sat at a large table and sifted through documents on her hologram.

"This guy really screwed everything up, didn't he, Bee?" Dr. Rubenstein asked, turning to her assistant.

"Yes, mistress," Bee said, staring stoically at the wall in front of her.

"Well, it's not like anything can go wrong now. Subject one has been successfully brainwashed, and all we have to do is wait for the wedding to commence, and we'll have met our goal."

"Bee, go to the school and order subject one's expulsion immediately."

"Also, take this," Dr. Rubenstein reached into her desk door and brought out a bag full of powder.

The stoic Bee trembled at seeing the bag, her eyes widening. She couldn't help but mutter, "Tracking powder," before catching herself and falling silent again.

"Excellent, Bee," Dr. Rubenstein complimented. "Take this tracking powder and put it on his expulsion letter. Make sure he receives it so we can track him."

Bowing, Bee took the precious powder and left the room.

"He might think that he's not brainwashed, but we'll see who beats whom in the end," Dr. Rubenstein smiled and started laughing maniacally.

Ryan returned to his dorm room only to find two female officers, one of whom he recognized. "Valery?"

The curly-haired lieutenant looked at him with regret in her eyes as she handed him a note. "Recruit Anthony Dire, you are hereby expelled from this academy and dishonorably discharged from your mandatory duties as a recruit of the Kheaweth Military," Valery said, not meeting Ryan in the eye.

"Please hand over your wristband," the second officer said, keeping an eye on Ryan.

Shocked at the sudden turn of events, Ryan looked at Valery but seeing the hurt in her eyes, he knew she had nothing to do with this.

'Not like this is exactly bad. Not much for me to gain here anyway,' Ryan thought.

"Alright, here," Ryan handed them the bracelet and took the letter from Valery.

"Now what?" Ryan asked.

"We need to escort you off campus," Valery said awkwardly. "Protocol."

Nodding, Ryan walked off campus, messaging Emily to meet him at her mother's house since Ryan had planned to meet her back at his dorm room.

Next, Ryan decided he needed to go to the Duchess' house again. This visit would take place earlier than anticipated.

"Ryan?" Sienna asked, surprised at seeing Ryan back so soon. "I thought we were meeting tomorrow."

"Change of plans," Ryan chuckled. "I got expelled from the academy."

"Expelled?" the Duchess asked, raising an eyebrow. "Okay, come inside."

After settling down in the ornate main room, the room his aunt had almost been killed in, and the room where he had been plowing the Duchess a few hours ago, Ryan looked at the green-haired beauty as she poured the tea.

"The look on your face tells me something else happened tonight," the Duchess said, handing Ryan a glass of tea, then she sat back and took a sip from her bone china teacup.

Nodding, Ryan said, "I met with the Empress."

The Duchess spat out her tea, exclaiming, "You did what?!"

"How did it go?" she hurriedly asked, looking Ryan over, making sure no injuries had occurred during his meeting.

Ryan replied by waving his hand, showing his new 'Emerald Family' force with the Empress as a [Duke] rank.

Whistling, the Duchess looked at Ryan with eyes full of enthusiasm, "You're a great man."

The Duchess put her teacup down and leaned close to Ryan, her hand began stroking his hair when suddenly a voice came from the entrance, "I'm home!"

"Emily?!" the Duchess shouted, shocked at hearing her daughter's voice.

A second later, a smaller version of the Duchess appeared in the hall and walked toward the duo, noticing a second too late that the two were very close together.

"What are you two doing?" Emily asked tentatively, seeing her mother and Ryan's precarious situation.

"It's not what it looks like!" the Duchess shouted.

"I was about to bang your mom," Ryan said bluntly.

Emily looked at Ryan, then back at her mother before turning back to Ryan and asking, "I thought we hated her, though?"

The words hit her with such force that the Duchess fell off her chair, hitting the floor with a thud.

Hearing something hit the floor, Volf appeared, scrambling to see if a lump of meat had somehow ended up on the floor.

Seeing Volf appear, Yoko shouted in Ryan's mind, 'Kill it! Kill the beast who defiled this great one!'

Volf, sensing tension and seeing no slab of meat, looked around and spotted Ryan. Meandering over to him, Volf sat like a puppy before his master and seemingly waited for instructions.

Patting Volf on the head, Ryan told Yoko, 'I don't see any beast, so I think you must be mistaken.'

'Why, youuu!'

'Enough,' Ryan said. 'We're not killing the Duchess's pet. End of discussion.'

"Hello, my princess," Ryan said, turning to Emily, who beamed, hearing her pet name come out of Ryan's mouth.

"My prince, I've missed you!" Emily exclaimed, throwing herself on Ryan's lap and curling up in his arms.

The Duchess, trying to get off the floor without Ryan's assistance, slowly rose and looked at the duo with narrowed eyes.

With a mixture of jealousy and heartbreak in her tone, she said, "Why do you hate me, daughter?"

"You tricked me!" Emily exclaimed. "You were the one who made the letters to the heavens! You were the one who tried to get me away from Ryan!"

Glaring at her mother from Ryan's lap Emily finished, "That's why I hate you."

"Oh, that," the Duchess replied awkwardly. "I was just trying to look out for you, sweetie."

"That's enough, Mom. If you don't apologize to Ryan and tell him it's okay for us to be together, I will hate you forever!"

'Hate me forever?' The words echoed in the Duchess's mind over and over.

'My precious daughter will hate me forever?!'

"Of course, I forgive Ryan, sweetie," said the Duchess as her voice suddenly turned gentle.

"In fact, I was about to become a harem member myself, isn't that right, Ryan?" the Duchess asked, looking into Ryan's eyes with a plea.

Ryan gave her a devilish grin that asked, 'Will you pay the price for this tonight?'

Knowing what Ryan wanted, the Duchess's cunt lips quivered as she slowly nodded.

"Yes, that's right," Ryan said, staring directly into the Duchess's eyes.

Emily snuggled against Ryan's chest, saying, "Whatever you say, my prince."
