Chapter 170: Treated like royalty
🕑 Added 2025-08-02 12:12:46 +0000 UTCAdam left the cockpit and returned to the mess hall to find the women waiting for him to return.
“Shall we go?” Lorelie asked as she and the other women stood up and approached him.
“Sure,” Adam said before leading the way towards Spector’s entry hatch.
After they stepped out into the docking bay, Lorelie led the way towards the docking bay's exit, which was an elevator. After calling it and waiting for a few seconds, the doors opened, and they all entered before Lorelie pressed the button for the space station's commerce area, and the elevator started to move.
“We have to cross the commerce area that has several shops and restaurants to reach the shuttle bay where the planetary transport shuttles will take us down to the planet,” Lorelie explained.
“Are you sure you two don’t need a disguise?” Adam asked as he looked between Lorelie and Rowena.
“Are you worried you can’t control a few fans?” Rowena asked with a smirk.
“I think we both know that once you're recognised it wont just be ‘a few’ fans.”
“Well, it’s something you're going to have to get used to if you're going to be Lorelie’s bodyguard.”
Soon after she finished speaking, the elevator stopped descending, and the doors opened onto the space station's commerce area.
The first thing Adam noticed was the large number of market stores that were set up beside the walkways on several different levels, with most of them being food stalls.
Behind the market stores were the larger and more impressive shops that were inlaid into the space station itself. These stores offered goods like weapons and armour, ship components, clothing and other high-quality goods.
Merinmians and other races walked along the walkways, scanning the available goods while occasionally stepping into one of the shops.
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): The layout reminds me of some of the shopping districts from the Star Wars Outlaws game.]
The group stepped out of the elevator and walked along one of the walkways in the direction of the shuttle bay, where the planetary transport shuttles docked. The group managed to make it about fifty feet before people started to realise who they were passing.
“OH MY GOD.” A scream suddenly rang out a few meters away from the group. A female Merinmian came running up to them, asking.
“Diva Lorelie, can I get your autograph and a photo with you, please?”
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): I knew this was going to happen.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Time to get to work streamer, Kekeke.]
Lorelie stopped and turned to the approaching Merinmian before smiling and saying, “Of course.”
With that, all hell broke loose as people started to surge towards their group.
“Oh my god, it’s Diva Lorelie.”
“It really is.”
“I thought she was still in the Galaminer Galaxy.”
“She must have left after what happened.”
“I still can’t believe the TISF attacked the ship she was on.”
“Look at the woman next to her, isn’t that Diva Rowena?”
“It is, holy shit, they're both here.”
“The MMM Show did say that they were onboard the same ship that the TISF attacked.”
“That green-haired beauty must be Dragon Princess Tephe then.”
“Do you think they will do a group photo with me if I ask?”
“Ask and find out.”
“Diva Lorelie and Diva Rowena will most likely say yes, but I’m not sure about Dragon Princess Tephe.”
“Isn’t it just Tephe? I mean, that's what she said on The MMM Show.”
“Wait, doesn’t this mean that Diva Lorelie will be performing here on Oceana Seven? I mean, she is on tour, right?”
“Is that true, Diva Lorelie? Are you going to perform here on Oceana Seven? Why haven’t I heard anything about it?”
Lorelie chuckled before responding, “That is indeed the plan; however, because I don’t currently have an entertainment agency that I’m contracted to, I need to arrange everything myself.
I plan to speak to the royal family when we land on Oceana Five, and once I have more information regarding my concerts, I will be sure to update you all on Xer-verse, so please, if you haven't already, follow me on Xer-verse so you're alerted as soon as I post the information.”
“Of course, Diva Lorelie.”
“I already follow you.”
“I will be keeping a watch the entire time. I have to get tickets.”
Adam watched the commotion and couldn’t help but marvel at how Lorelie managed to plug her own Xer-verse account to gain more followers.
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Damn, she’s good, she so seamlessly plugged her own social media account.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): What did you expect? She’s been doing this for years, and you don’t become a Diva without hard work.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Is it so easy to get a meeting with a royal family?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): It is for her, I mean, she is almost royalty herself in the Oasis Galaxy with how popular she is within her own race.]
[Tessisdabest (Terrana 5): I see you managed to get home safely, Lord Malacoss.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I did. If you get a chance, please be sure to thank the Terran royal family for their hospitality.]
[Beczontop (Terrana 5): I will be sure to pass that onto my aunt next time I see her]
”I knew they would be popular, but it’s still surprising to witness it.” Adam said to Stacey as they both observed the three popular women who were surrounded.
Lorelie was obviously the most popular and had attracted the largest crowd, followed by Rowena, who kept her signature grin on display as she posed for photos with fans. Even Tephe had attracted a small crowd and happily talked to the different people who approached her while bouncing up and down.
“I agree, I knew my grandmother was popular; however, I have never seen her when she interacted with her fans,” Stacey replied.
Adam kept a close watch over how the people were reacting and acting towards the three popular women; however, since none of them were doing anything inappropriate, he did not intervene.
A few minutes after the crowd gathered, several Merinmians wearing uniforms, making them look like security, walked towards the gathering before the one who looked like the leader spoke up.
“Make way, make way, I say.” The leader said as he pushed his way through the crowd towards Lorelie before saying.
“Diva Lorelie, I welcome you on behalf of the Oceana Seven Defence Force. I am here to escort you and your companions to a private shuttle that has been prepared for you.”
“Is that so, officer? Thank you for your assistance.” Lorelie replied politely before turning to address the crowd.
“I’m afraid we must be off now. I hope you all have a great day and are looking forward to my concerts.”
After she finished speaking, Lorelie walked towards the defence force personnel as the crowd parted for her.
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): The crowd is actually moving aside for her willingly?]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): That never happens for celebrities on Earth.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): As I said, Diva Lorelie is almost treated like royalty in the Oasis Galaxy; she is respected and loved by almost all Merinmians.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Are all Divas and celebrities treated as such?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Far from it. While some Divas do get this respect in their home galaxies, Diva Rowena, for example, most need several security personnel to assist them in escaping a crowd like this. This is why you did not see Diva Lorelie wandering around the Terran capital, as she would have needed a large escort.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): I remember hearing that Diva Rowena was touring the Terran capital, however.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Diva Rowena is one of those individuals who loves attention and will never pass up an opportunity to get more of it, so it’s no surprise that she was touring the Capital.]
“Shall we go?” Lorelie asked as she approached Adam and Stacey with a smile, while Rowena and Tephe said goodbye to those they were talking with and joined them.
“Please,” Adam said, making an inviting gesture to show that she should go first.
Lorelie smiled again before following the defence force as they led the group towards the docking bay, where the planetary transport shuttles were docked.
“The royal family has been alerted to your arrival, Diva Lorelie and wishes me to inform you that they invite you to visit the royal palace once you have settled in and rested at your home.” The defence force leader informed them.
“Thank you for informing me. I will be sure to visit them once I am rested, as I have things to discuss with them.” Lorelie replied politely.
“No need to thank me, Diva Lorelie. I am just doing my duty. Also, might I say it is a pleasure to have you back home again.”
“It is nice to be home.”
The group was silent for a moment before the defence force leader figited and coughed slightly before asking, “Do you think I could get an autograph for my daughter? She is a big fan.”
