If Gamora were not Astrid’s mother, David would not want to talk to her.
He could act like this because of his ability.
However, Gamora did not say anything.
Her daughter was here, so Gamora would not embarrass her.
However, she became increasingly resentful of David in her heart.
Gamora could see how Astrid acted when she returned to Planet Royal, so she was pretty biased
against David.
Even though she was grateful that David had saved Astrid, who knew if this was a trap?
“Mother, David, stop being so courteous to each other. Let’s talk after we get back.”
“Alright, let’s go,” Gamora said.
David and Mia headed to the courtyard where Princess Astrid stayed under the guidance of Astrid and
Gamora.
On the way, Astrid smiled happily as she told David everything about Planet Royal.
Right now, she was delighted that she could be with David.
Of course, it would be better if they were exploring together and not on Planet Royal.
Gamora did not talk much during the journey.
Although she did not have an unpleasant expression, she was not smiling either.
At this moment, Mia was following them like a respectful maid.
When the three of them were together, they got along pretty well.
However, Empress Gamora was here, so Mia did not dare to act recklessly.
After all, their identities were miles apart.
“David, there is still some time until the state banquet, so I can bring you around Planet Royal. Even
though Planet Royal is not as exciting and thrilling as your explorations, you can still visit many places
since this is your first time here. You won’t be disappointed,” Astrid said while walking.
David wanted to decline, but he did not have the heart to upset her after seeing how excited she was.
However, he made up his mind secretly.
The moment the state banquet was over, he would leave Planet Royal at once and return to Earth.
That was his home, and a lot of people needed him to be there.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness. I was stunned when I landed on Planet Royal. As expected, it’s the
biggest, liveliest, and most majestic planet in the Milky Way. I feel like staying here and enjoying
myself,” David lamented.
“If you like this planet, you can stay here forever. I heard the people born here and the ones who
stayed here long–term will get the Milky Way’s blessing. Even if it’s just a rumor, many people believe
it. Also, if you stay here, I can come and hang out with you all the time. It’ll be amazing!” Astrid
suggested.
“Um… It’s fine. Thank you for your kind intention, Your Royal Highness. I can’t do that now because I
still need to take care of many things out there. I’ll think about it if I have a chance in the future,” David
rejected quickly.
That would be the most miserable ending.
He had almost dug a trap and jumped into it himself.
“I see. Well… You must come and stay for a while after finishing your work. I promise you’ll fall in love
with this place.”
“I will!”
Even if David said this, he knew it was impossible at the bottom of his heart.
No matter how great Planet Royal was, he would not stay here.
As the saying went, ‘the smoke of a man’s own house is better than the fire of another.‘
David would only feel at home on Earth.
Astrid was the only one who spoke the entire way.
David would occasionally reply.
Meanwhile, Gamora did not say anything as she listened to the two of them.
She thought, ‘David is pretty good. He’s so good at playing hard to get.
‘It seems that he’s a professional.
‘People like this will be very attractive to inexperienced girls like Astrid.‘
However, the more he did this, the more Gamora felt that something was wrong with him.
