Chapter 778: Let's Watch a Movie Together
The long-awaited movie never started in the end, though not for the reason one would expect
Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that no one is to enter the room, came the strident voice of the scarred bodyguard.
Oh? So thats where his bodyguard has been hiding.
Stand aside!
Sersans voice was agitated, coupled with his swift but chaotic footsteps, he was clearly in distress.
A short while later, Sersan came barging in through the rooms door, chest heaving as he yelled, Lady Mo Na, are you all right
The words got stuck in his throat at that point. He was half-expecting to mount a daring rescue, but unfortunately for him, he was instead treated to the sight of me sitting down with his father for a cup of coffee. And Misseger, of course. His eyes went wide with shock, clearly not expecting this scene at all.
Honestly, I had a rough idea of what he had in mind. In all likelihood, he was expecting his father to use force on me, which he might have had I not changed the topic entirely.
Your Majesty Because the bodyguard was afraid of harming the prince in an altercation, he did not dare use too much force, allowing the prince to slip through in the end. He fell to one knee under the withering gaze of Andassis the Seventh, Your subject has failed.
Its just Sersan so Ill look past it. Baku, return to your post outside, and dont let another through this time.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Baku rose to his feet and left, but not before throwing an unhappy glare towards the prince. However, the prince was still too surprised to notice that bit of hostility.
My dear son, could you perhaps enlighten your father as to why youre in such a hurry that youve completely forgotten your decorum?
In that case, prepare to be amazed, Your Majesty, for the showing of the very first movie in this realm. Im sure after watching this, there will be no doubt as to my identity. Having said that, I had my electronic implant project a theatre-like screen. Lingling, fetch me a movie about exosuits and mobile armors, have the language adjusted as well.
A second later, the starting credits rolled on screen with resounding fanfare, startling Sersan, Misseger and the king.
Where is this noise coming from? Misseger looked around in confusion, unable to determine the source of the sound that was coming at her from all directions.
This painting It's so real! I feel like I could almost touch it with my hands Unlike Misseger, Sersan was more enraptured by the CG before him.
What heavenly craftsmanship is this?! Andassis the Seventh gripped on the handles of his chair with shaking hands.
The actual movie hadnt even started yet and these three bumpkins had already been awed out of their seats.
This movie was about how the Gaians discovered another mineral-rich planet during their space exploration. However, that planet was filled with all sorts of powerful Primal beasts.
In order to harvest these rare resources, the Federation constructed a mining settlement on the planet, along with several outposts.
Naturally, the native Primal beasts did not welcome these metallic invaders. Thus began a bloody, drawn-out battle between man and beast.
What began as small skirmishes finally escalated into a full-blown war where, after countless experiments and trials, mankind deployed an experimental mobile armor to defeat the strongest beast on that planet, securing the planet.
Honestly, this was about as mainstream as a film could get. The 3D effects were great, but everything else was just passable.
Yet to the minds of these technologically backward people, such a movie was no less shocking than forbidden magicks.
In just the short span of thirty minutes, countless explosions, shouts of kill them, and etc. filled the room. There were times when even Sersan jumped to his feet in excitement, as if he was the one riding the mobile armor to war against the beasts.
