Joshua watched as the barbarians used Bella’s dead body as they see fit, and turned to Matilda, who was now walking towards the castle.
"Why did you kill her? And in such a way?" He asked.
"You are the commander, but still dumb." Matilda turned around to face Joshua:
"Everyone in the castle knows the emperor is currently in this garden, and he wants to be alone..." She sneered:
"What do you think will happen when they see her body tomorrow In this state? Killed and raped." She asked, moving her gaze to the man who have just climaxed in Bella.
"Forget all that... Come to my chamber tonight, after our fun, we will enjoy the show tomorrow." She said, and before she could turn around, She paused:
"Send these guys to get rid of her family, I heard she has a baby brother... Kill them all." With that said, she walked away.
Joshua stared at her for a moment, and looked over his shoulder at the men, and exhaled, then walked away.

[Starship.]
"Achoo!"
Sunny sneezed, waking up Josephine, who lay on the bed... She sat up, staring at him on the couch:
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"You worried about me?" He asked back with a smile.
Josephine glared at him and lay back on the bed, turning to the other side, making sure to cover all her body with the blanket:
’You fucking bit me! It seems like the bond is getting to effect! If this continues, I will completely fall for him!’ She thought, her mind racing.
Sunny chuckled at her thoughts, stood up and looked out the small window, staring at the stars in the galaxy.
’What is this feeling?’ He thought, lost in thought.
Josephine turned, and stared at him in confusion: ’Is something wrong?’ She thought to herself.

[Next Day.]
[Pirates’ stronghold.]
The starship landed some meters from the small settlement, and Sunny, Josephine and Nioh walked towards Blood eye, the two men and all the pirates who had gathered, except children and elderly.
"So what is your decision?" Nioh asked.
Blood eye didn’t even spare him a glance, but said to Sunny:
"We accept."
Sunny urged her.
She nodded, and brought out the scroll, then a dagger... Before the three and her people, she cut open her palm, then clenched her fist, letting her blood drop on the scroll, which glowed with a faint light.
She let go of it, and it flew towards Sunny, who caught it... He brought out a dagger and also cut open his palm.
"Hmm..."
Josephine grunted in pain, causing Sunny to looked at her... She exhaled and nodded at him.
Sunny nodded back and drop his blood on the scroll.
BAM!
The scroll rose into the air, and shattered two pieces of red lights, which flew towards Sunny’s and Blood eye’s foreheads, entering it.
"AHH!"
Blood eye screamed holding her head, she stumbled some steps backwards with a painful expression.
{Subordinate Bond have been created... The subordinate function has been unlocked.}
Sunny raised an eyebrow, but didn’t say anything, he just fixed his gaze on Blood eye, who shook her head for a couple of seconds, and exhaled softly, calming herself:
’What was that?!’ She thought, and said aloud:
"From now onwards, you are my king... My troops will follow you."
Sunny nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, another scroll appeared, which he passed to Nioh.
Nioh stared at the scroll in surprise, but still took it... With a deep breath, he cut open his palm, and drop his blood on it, while Sunny did the same.
{Second Subordinate added.}
Sunny nodded as Nioh dropped to his knees with a painful expression, and turned to Blood eye:
"You can see... You aren’t the only one." He said, staring at Nioh, who was still on the ground, holding his head.
"My king... We have a situation and hope if you can handle it." Blood eye said with a bow.
"What is that?" Sunny asked.
"There are two more factions in this planet, both factions are a lot stronger than us, and they are also our enemies, if the King can get rid of them, we will be grateful." She said.
Sunny listened to her words, and slowly nodded his head:
"What are the strength of their leaders?" He asked.
"The strongest faction leader is a heavenly rank, stage four, while the second is a heavenly rank, stage three... They have more than 500 troops each." The young man quickly replied.
Sunny nodded and turned to the scar face man:
"Why don’t you show us the way...? Let’s visit these two factions today." He said, walking towards the starship.
The man frowned, but seeing Blood eye and the second following behind the three, he sighed and joined the group.
At that moment, all the pirates’ cosmic brain gave their Masters a notification, which showed ten thousand galaxy crystals have been credited in their account... A total of 500 people, even a child received a total of ten thousands.
’He just spent Five million like it is nothing... Who really is this man?’ Blood eye thought, as she silently followed behind Sunny.
’Wow... I can’t believe I will enter a starship in this life.’ The young man thought with a smile on his face, while the scar face looked a bit worried.

[While Sunny and his group were heading to the other factions, the star empire court hall was in chaos.]
Bella’s body was on the ground, covered with a piece of golden clothes.
The air was filled with both sadness and tension, as everyone present fixed their gazes on her:
"Are you sure about this?!" An old man yelled at the guard standing before them.
"Yes! I swear with my vow to the star empire!! The king did this, he raped and killed miss Bella!!" The young man yelled.
"You have any proof?!!" Matilda who sat on her throne yelled at the guard, her face filled with killing intent:
"Remember!! It is your emperor you are accusing!" She added coldly.
The guard swallowed and nodded:
"I know, but he isn’t my King with what he did!!"
He said with conviction.
Joshua walked towards the guard and grabbed his collar:
"If you dare lie! I will kill you right here!!!" He hissed.
"I will never lie in the court!!!" The guy yelled back.
Joshua stared at him for some seconds and let go:
"Ok! Do you have any proof?!!" He asked coldly. While everyone stared at the guard.
"I do!! I have proof!!!" He yelled.
"....?!!!"
