StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 201 The Red-Haired Duchess

Judging from Katherine's attitude towards Irina, it's clear that Irina's position is definitely not low.

She was both a member of the Zerg and an official of the Interstellar Federation, yet her identity was completely absent from the Zerg archives.

Ge Yuan searched on the terminal, and after not getting an answer, she went to ask Andorra.

The conclusion that can be drawn is that this insect cannot be found.

But Andor mentioned a crucial point: there were once fragments of information about Irina within the Zerg's large conglomerate.

Ge Yuan stood between the two of them, protecting Shen Qingqing behind her.

"It seems that Commander Irina has something important to discuss with us. But would it be possible to speak to her privately?"

“Of course,” Irina smiled, then waved for Katherine to leave. “I can answer anything you want to know, but I still want to know her identity.”

The person Irina was referring to was Shen Qingqing.

Once only the three of them were left in the room, Ge Yuan began to introduce Shen Qingqing's identity.

"Shen Qingqing, the new Queen of the Zerg."

A concise sentence stirred up a storm in Irina's heart.

Pointing at her in disbelief, he exclaimed, "Is she the Insect Queen who appeared in the interstellar live stream before? How come she's so small?"

“It’s still a juvenile,” Ge Yuan added.

"Oh, no wonder."

Irina walked over to Shen Qingqing and examined her closely, occasionally touching her hair, looking like she wanted to get close but didn't dare.

She was afraid of damaging the little mother insect.

"Now that you've introduced her identity, shouldn't you also introduce yourself?" Ge Yuan wanted to know who Irina really was and why there was no information about her in the Zerg archives.

Irina, whose height was similar to Ge Yuan's, took two steps back and began to introduce herself.

“My name is Irina Sgarvet, the only duchess of the Zerg. Of course, you can also just call me Irina.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Shen Qingqing realized that the person in front of her was Duke Irina, one of the Zerg financial magnates.

In terms of status and wealth, almost no Zerg can compare to her.

Furthermore, Irina has a good relationship with Serit and also has some connection with Gatana.

Upon hearing Shen Qingqing say that she came from the Zerg King Star, she couldn't contain her curiosity, "Does the Zerg Queen know where Michel Gatana and the others are? What is their situation now?"

“Michelle has disappeared in interstellar space, Count Selit has returned to the King Planet, and as for Gatana…” Shen Qingqing paused and continued, “he betrayed the Zerg.”

Irina felt that if the topic continued, it would eventually become awkward.

So he changed the subject, "Although I don't know what kind of bandit treaty Little Insect Queen and Katherine agreed to, you can rest assured that I still have a say here, so you can come and go from Caster Star at will without any hindrance."

As everyone knows, when people from the same hometown meet, their eyes well up with tears.

The blood ties among the Zerg made Shen Qingqing develop a lot of goodwill towards this red-haired duchess.

But it was clear that Ge Yuan was not too happy about her appearance.

If her purpose in staying here is to build up the Zerg, then why did she delay coming to their aid after hearing that the Zerg were being attacked by the Lycans?

Ge Yuan knew, of course, that for their conglomerate, profit was everything.

So since Irina is willing to help them, she will definitely demand that they pay a corresponding price.

After explaining Shen Qingqing's last question, Irina finally stated her own request.

"I want the Little Insect Mother to perform mental healing on my brother. Once it's done, I will unconditionally stand on your side and support all your actions."

The Zerg have not had a Zerg Queen for over two hundred years, and her brother was unfortunately born during those two hundred years, and is now on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Now that she has seen the insect mother with her own eyes, she has decided to use her status to exchange for this chance to be cured.

“Even if you don’t help, I will still heal him,” Shen Qingqing looked up at Irina. “Healing the Zerg is my responsibility.”

“It’s different,” Irina said slowly. “The Queen of Insects does not belong to the Insect Race, but to the Council of Elders and the Research Institute.”

"You may not know that although I hold the title of Duke in the Zerg, I am not eligible to participate in the Elder Council's roundtable meetings. Therefore, whether or not I can enjoy the Zerg Queen's spiritual healing depends on the amount of star coins we pay to the Elder Council."

Shen Qingqing never knew that the insect mother's spiritual healing could be treated as a transaction.

Moreover, the beneficiary is the Presbyterian Council.

Without a doubt, all those star coins ended up in the pockets of the elders.

“My younger brother suffers from a severe mental breakdown, which shouldn’t be the case normally, but he’s been unlucky and has been on the verge of a mental breakdown since birth. So I want to use all my resources to try to get him a chance to heal his mental illness.”

Irina's eyes were deep, her crimson pupils filled with hope.

She joined the Interstellar Federation because she heard that the Federation had a way to cure mental breakdowns.

Even though she paved a path for herself with money and found the best psychiatrist in the Federation for her brother, it was all in vain.

The Zerg are different from them in terms of their physical structure, so the treatment methods are also different.

He can only maintain basic vital signs by receiving long-term drug injections.

"If you refuse, I can send someone to Wangxing right now."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

Shen Qingqing stated that she did not say she would not cure her brother.

“I can heal your brother right now. Please lead the way, Duke Irina.”

As they made their way to Irina's private domain, chaos erupted on the Zerg-owned planet.

……

"You mean you saw Ge Yuan take Qingqing away with your own eyes, right?" Saenster randomly selected a lucky audience member from the swarm and questioned them.

"No, don't pull my collar," the Zerg being lifted hurriedly explained, "Ge Yuan only said that she went out to buy some things. As for the Queen, I really don't know her whereabouts."

One lucky viewer expressed feeling wronged by Saenster's misinterpretation of his words.

He had no idea that Lord Ge Yuan had taken the Insect Queen away.

I only found out when Saenster grabbed my collar.

“Alright, Saenster, if you don’t let go, he’s really going to suffocate.” Andor stopped him.

"Although Qingqing has temporarily left Wang Xing, it at least proves that Ge Yuan is by her side, so her safety should be..."

Before Andor could even utter the words "no problem," he met Saenster's slightly reddened eyes.

Those eyes were filled with worry, helplessness, and confusion.

"But do you know that it's dangerous no matter where Qingqing goes? Her body is too delicate and cannot withstand any attack from the outside world."

“I know,” Andor replied sullenly, “but what can we do if we’re not at ease?”

“Andorra,” Saenster called out, “their locations should be in the terminal, right?”

"Yes, but its location is rather unique."

"Even if it's in a galaxy, I must bring Qingqing back!"
