Chapter 185: Direction

Tanvel must have flaunted himself in front of Her Highness quite a bit during the time he was away from her; Tanvel is the most cunning of all the servants.

He needs to find an opportunity to have a good fight with him.

Anno took a good close look at Caesar's original form, withdrew her hand from his horn, and praised him again.

Caesar was overjoyed to sense Anno's delight.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "If Your Highness likes this form of mine, I can conjure up more for you to see."

He remained relatively restrained and did not fully reveal his original form.

As soon as he finished speaking, Anno sensed her mother gradually approaching her room.

My mother will be back soon.

She gently patted his forehead. "Show me after you've finished your punishment."

Anno had not forgotten that Caesar was currently under punishment.

She said to him, "This time it's not yours; I just suddenly wanted to see you."

Caesar immediately said, "How could this be His Highness?"

Before he could finish speaking, Anno put a finger to his lips and said, "Shh, Mother is back."

The next moment she stepped out of the portal, and Caesar understood and immediately closed the portal.

Anuo had just recovered when she saw her mother push the door open and enter.

She immediately lay down on the bed, pretending to be going to sleep.

After doing this, Anno realized that she might have been too guilty. Caesar was her subordinate, and she could see him and do whatever she wanted.

This feeling arises from the knowledge that Caesar is currently under punishment.

She wasn't actually that angry about Caesar's mistake last time, but she knew he had done wrong and deserved to be punished. However, she felt bad that if it were her mother, he would have been punished more severely.

When Sevier entered and saw Anunu's appearance, she didn't even need to probe her consciousness network to know that Anunu had just seen Caesar.

Even if Caesar were willful and disobedient, he wouldn't have the guts to disobey her orders or the punishment he was currently receiving. This punishment wasn't just his, but also Anunu's personal punishment to him.

He cannot disobey his king.

Sevier walked over to Anno's side, sat down by her bed, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Anno, have you been waiting for your mother to come back?"

"Mmm." Anuo held her hand and said, "Mom, you're back. Since you're back, sleep with Anunu."

She had barely finished speaking when she looked up and met her mother's gaze. In that instant, she knew her mother already knew about her meeting with Caesar.

This couldn't be hidden from her at all. Caesar was too excited just now, and his mind was filled with excitement. Perhaps the lower-ranking members of the family didn't know, but the higher-ranking members, especially the mother of the Ohmu, must have found out.

She wanted to say a few words in defense of Caesar, because even if he went to see Caesar, Caesar had still disobeyed her order to be punished.

She addressed Séville, saying, "Mother is the one I must see Caesar; it's my problem."

Sevier sighed softly, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at her and pulled her into her arms.

“Anunu, my darling, how could this be your problem? Caesar is your servant. Whether he makes a mistake or anything else, it should be up to you to manage. But I don’t want him to take advantage of your affection for him and act recklessly in front of you in the future.”

Anno snuggled against her, "He won't, Mom. I like him like this."

Hearing her say that, Sevier raised an eyebrow slightly and deliberately asked, "Sweetheart, which of these eight relatives do you like the most?"

"I like them all."

For Anno, her relatives were her family, and when Sevier asked this question, no option came to mind.

Seeing her like this, Sevier smiled and kissed her little cheek.

It seems this problem is not difficult for her, Anunu, at the moment.

The next day, Secris and Poponia returned from the front lines.

Caesar knew that he had seen His Highness during his punishment and could no longer act recklessly, otherwise the Queen would not let him off the hook.

He was satisfied after seeing His Highness yesterday and was relieved of his duties at the front lines along with Secris and the others.

Sekris, who usually gave him the cold shoulder, didn't show much emotion this time, because he knew that this was something they had planned together, but in the end, only he was punished.

So while Tanville and his men were very dissatisfied with Caesar, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Cyrus was supposed to be meeting with Anno, but he had just come down from the front lines. He needed to go to the conference hall to report on the situation at the front to the Allies, and Anno and Cyrus happened to be there as well.

Upon seeing Anuo, he didn't show it on his face, but he secretly felt happy inside.

He gave a half-day presentation in the conference hall, his points clearly and logically presented.

As the vanguard of the Zerg and a high-ranking member of His Highness's family, he absolutely cannot embarrass His Highness in front of the Allied forces.

Although he reported the situation at the front with a serious expression, his energy would occasionally drift to Anno, who was sitting next to Sevier.

He could resist the urge to go and see her, but Poporia couldn't help but glance in Anno's direction from time to time.

He had been with Secris on the front lines and hadn't been by Her Highness's side for a long time; he thought of her constantly.

His Highness sat beside the Queen, and every time Poponia looked at her, he could feel that the Queen's gaze seemed to be directed at him. He could only glance at her briefly before immediately looking away.

How could Sevier not feel his gaze? Even if she pretended not to see it, she could still sense their intense emotions within the consciousness network.

She could understand the strong sense of closeness and dependence that her followers had for Anuno. These followers had not been with Anuno for three hundred years, and during those three hundred years they had been in a state of great confusion.

Now that Anunu is back, they have finally found their direction and purpose in life. Their desire to stay by Anunu's side all the time is like making up for the feelings they had when they lost Anunu three hundred years ago.

Therefore, she never said anything to these members of the family. As long as they didn't cross the line of what they considered their role as Ohmu like Caesar had done, these things were perfectly normal for them.

Her relatives also felt this way towards her, but they were more afraid of her and placed her respect above all else.

Especially since another male insect king, Aughis, appeared beside her.

Although the Zerg Queen is the supreme ruler of the race, Augsis is also a king, and his status is equal to hers. All the Zerg's servants must obey Augsis.

Nearly a hundred years after Sevier was born from her shell, Augsis was born from his.

With Augustine by his side, his retinue held her in even greater awe.

Otherwise, Aughis wouldn't have given them a good outcome.

The meeting ended around noon.

After having dinner with Anno, Seville went to handle government affairs. The Zerg and the Allied forces were about to launch a new round of attacks, and as the highest leader of the Zerg, she needed to discuss some military plans with the other Allied forces.

After finishing her meal, Anuo headed to the cafeteria. She had eaten the ice cream that Mingxiao had bought for her yesterday, and she was craving that taste. The cafeteria also had ice cream.

She had just eaten with her mother in the living room area where they lived. Her mother wanted to go to the cafeteria with her, but her mother, the Zerg Queen, had such a strong aura that no one dared to sit down and eat if she went to the cafeteria.

As soon as Anno arrived at the canteen, he saw Anaiya sitting with her lords eating.

Anaya was the first to see her and waved happily at her.

Lord Crescent Moon, who was beside Anaya, waved to her and said, "Hi."

The young lord Yan Wu, who knelt down to present her with a gift yesterday, was sitting next to the crescent moon, though they were a few seats apart.

The boy spotted her immediately.

Upon seeing Yan Wu, Secris and Poponia's expressions immediately turned cold. They had already seen in their consciousness network what Yan Wu had done to their little prince yesterday.

They could sense the immense energy emanating from the young man, and they knew he was the ruler of the Styx River, possessing a status equal to theirs.

That's why they were even more furious about his behavior.

If they hadn't known that His Highness was friends with the Queen of the Styx, and that these men were the Queen's lords, they would have definitely given him a good beating to vent their anger.
