The Divine Sedition [Complete]

Chapter 46 A Diplomatic Crisis.

Joachim Muller was lying restless in his bed in the penthouse level of Europeum tower. Bjorn had undoubtedly got him in trouble this time, and it was all because of Joachim’s own wrong decision to put him under the command of Alicia White. A few days earlier Bjorn Muller had arrived unconscious at the Phobos base, and when he woke up, he had made grave accusations against Alicia White who was nowhere to be found. The medical examination supported Bjorn’s allegations, however, and it was highly likely that Alicia indeed had r***d him and bit into his flesh.

Bjorn being sodomised was not the issue for Joachim.  Bjorn was a s****l degenerate, and although Joachim had never heard any formal complaints about Bjorn’s behaviour, there were a lot of rumours about him stating that consent wasn’t his primary concern when choosing his s****l partners. No, the fundamental issue was the fact that Bjorn had made a big deal out of what happened and aired his story in the media, and even called for an arrest order for Alicia over what happened.    

Bjorn’s accusations and arrest order against Alicia White had caused Joachim a lot of issues on the Terran Council threatening his position as chairman. House White was his closest ally in the Terran Council, and they shared their hostile attitude to House Rashid. Joachim was unsure whether House Cheng was with him or against him, as they were often shifty and unpredictable. The fifth member faction on the Terran Council, House of Bolivar that had replaced House Goldstein was too weak and unaligned to be a matter of interest.

Joachim’s problem was that he needed to prove himself strong and loyal to his family by requiring that Alicia White came back to Earth for a court trial while also trying his best to keep his ally John White, Alicia’s father happy and still supporting him on the Terran Council. Unfortunately, John White had claimed that Alicia and her crew had gone rogue and that he was unable to command them back to Earth. This had forced Joachim to act to avoid losing face, and he hoped that John White would understand his predicament and avoid escalating the issue.

Realising that he wouldn’t be able to sleep naturally, Joachim entered a sleep pod to rest and let go of his worries.
