Chapter 909: Child

Khan and Lord Rsi exchanged a meaningful stare while utter silence surrounded them. The alien was no stranger to politics, including the human ones, so Khan knew he had publicly voiced the request on purpose.

The reason behind that action was obvious, and the symphony under the gazebo confirmed the plan's success. Lord Rsi wanted to elevate Khan's status among the human parties, showing how deeply the Empire trusted him.

The nobles mainly saw the matter from a financial standpoint. More territory meant more potential businesses, which the connection with the Thilku Empire promised to make highly remunerative.

Meanwhile, Mister Cirvags had a deeper understanding of the Thilku, leading to a deep stupor. The Empire didn't only trust Khan with a monopoly over its friendship. It was also willing to let him wave its banner while occupying planets as if he were no different from a Lord.
