Chapter 9 Zerg World 9 That’s his fiancé…
"Don't be afraid, I just want to help you."
"Don't be angry, I'll just put the soup down and leave, okay? But remember to drink this soup."
"My name is Rui'an, Rui means auspicious and An means peace. What's your name?"
"Don't get excited, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt! So don't worry, I really won't retaliate or hurt you..."
"I didn't! I really didn't hurt him! You, you can testify for me, right?! How could I possibly violate a male insect?!"
"Why? You clearly know, you clearly know!"
The end of the memory was the male insect's completely dim eyes and its figure being dragged away in despair.
Yes, why?
Why, knowing clearly that Ryan was a male insect, did he not stand up to testify for Ryan when Ferro accused Ryan of assaulting and hurting himself?
Is it because he thinks that a wounded female insect and a male insect whose level is so low that it can't even smell pheromones can't fight against Ferro's A-level male insect?
Or is it that he doesn't completely reject male insects, but simply rejects those male insects that are of low rank, arrogant, and superior, and will not bow their heads to please him?
Inside the magnificent palace, on the huge virtual screen, a male insect with platinum and white silk hair chuckled softly during Frederick's silence again, then moved closer to the screen and pulled down his collar, revealing the bloody wound on his body that had not healed yet.
His face was extremely pale, and his blue-gray eyes, which were usually full of smiles, became wet. His thin figure swayed, and even his voice was broken to the extreme.
"You really don't recognize me?"
"General Friedrich, please take a good look at this wound. Was it caused by you hitting me with that bowl of soup I just made for you?"
"hiss--"
For a moment, all the female insects in the palace gasped when they saw the wound on Chu Sicheng's collarbone.
Except Alex.
When the Insect King and other royal ministers cast sharp glances at Frederick because of Chu Sicheng's collarbone injury, he was the only one who quietly turned his complicated gaze to the male insect next to him who was flicking his tongue at him provocatively the previous second and was about to burst into tears in front of the virtual screen the next second.
Because... that wound on the collarbone was clearly caused by his bite...
As a result, now, under Chu Sicheng's crying, Shui Lingling became the evidence that Frederick harmed the male insect.
In fact, if Alex spoke at this time, he could easily expose Chu Sicheng's lie, after all, there was still the other person's blood on his lips.
but……
Alex looked back at the virtual screen, looking at the female insect who could get everything she wanted just by standing there coldly and silently from beginning to end. Now, under Chu Sicheng's accusations and the questioning of the Insect King, a panic look finally appeared on her face. Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and the tip of her tongue quietly stretched out and quickly swept across her lips. Then she closed her mouth and quietly served as a background board next to Chu Sicheng.
After all, there are times when he doesn't want to talk, right?
Alex's fist, which had been clenched since the video call was connected, finally relaxed at this moment. On the other side, Frederick's fist did seem to want to be clenched.
Because at this time, the object of pressure from the Insect King and the ministers changed from Alex to him for the first time.
After all, this involves a male insect lord, and a male insect lord whose pheromones can soothe SS-level female insects.
Although Chu Sicheng's grade was still F after the second test, the fact that he was able to appease the SS-level male insect was there.
Moreover, according to previous records, there are indeed examples of F-class male insects transforming into S-class male insects for the second time. Therefore, even if his value in the eyes of the empire has not yet reached the level of an S-class male insect, it is almost the same as that of an A-class male insect.
Moreover, in the Zerg, the status of males has always been higher than that of females.
then--
"Fredrich, is what Lord Ryan said true?!" the Insect King asked seriously, and the admiration and love he had shown when he looked at Fredrich just now were gone from his eyes.
"I don't……"
After a while, Frederick finally spoke up, "That wasn't me!"
"Yeah?"
The male insect on the virtual screen smiled bleakly. "So you're saying I'm lying to you, Frederick?"
"Fredrich, have you forgotten who pulled you out of the garbage dump?"
“…”
Almost all citizens of the empire knew that the invincible General Friedrich in their hearts had reappeared on the battlefield after a brief disappearance, and once again led them to defeat the group of hateful monsters.
But no one knew where the general went during the time he disappeared, what kind of insects he met, and what he knew now.
Wherever his eyes fell, Chu Sicheng slowly pulled up his collar, then took a step back, lowered his head, revealing only his pale face and trembling lips.
"It's okay, it's okay, Frederick. Since you said no, then so be it. After all, I said before that I would never hurt you..."
So what are you doing now?
Frederick was almost driven crazy by Chu Sicheng's pitiful appearance, as he couldn't even speak clearly.
What does "If you say no, then no" mean?!
If the male insect said this, it would only make the Insect King and the surrounding ministers more suspicious of him, okay?!
He couldn't help but clench his fingers dangling at his sides into his palms. Looking at that face that had been so pitiful since they first met, as if all the bugs in the world were bullying him, Frederick felt a fire rushing from his heart straight to his brain. The next second, words came out of his mouth uncontrollably.
"I told you, I didn't cause that injury! The soup only caused a few blisters on your body, it's not as serious as you're showing now!"
It's just a burn, a few blisters, that's all...
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Chu Sicheng raised his head again and stared straight at Frederick.
"So, you admit that you hit me with the bowl of hot soup?"
"I--"
Frederick's eyes suddenly widened and his voice stopped abruptly. Those eyes that were always cold in the early part of the original text, and Ryan could not leave any trace in them no matter how hard he tried, finally imprinted the male insect on the screen deeply in his eyes at this moment.
I'm just angry.
Understood.
Frederick figured it all out!
The male insect's intention from the beginning was not to wrongly accuse him of leaving such serious injuries on his body. The other party just wanted him to admit the harm he had caused to himself before!
So, if you still say that you won’t retaliate against him, then what is the male insect doing now?
As expected, villains are villains, and like Alex, they are hidden dangers that the empire cannot allow to remain.
Thinking of the stories that Ferro had told him, Frederick sneered, then raised his eyes to look at Chu Sicheng. His tone sounded very apologetic, but his eyes were full of mockery.
"Yes, because I was in a state of mental chaos at the time, I accidentally hurt Mr. Ryan. I am really sorry about this, but Mr. Ryan also said at the time that it was okay and he would not blame me. Do you remember?"
"And at that time, I begged you again and again not to get close to me because I was afraid I would lose control of myself, but what happened later..."
Friedrich sighed, "I really can't control it."
In just a few words, the responsibility seemed to fall on Chu Sicheng again.
Who can't act?
In this empire that is unfriendly to female insects, as a female soldier fighting alone with no insects behind her, if Frederick didn't know how to act, she might have been sent to prison by those male insects for not licking her, and she would never have reached her current position.
For a moment, this video conference, which was originally intended to pressure Alex to give up the supervisory rights of Mogras, seemed to have turned into a stage for Chu Sicheng and Frederick to show off their skills.
The insects watching around had different expressions. Some looked solemn, some were thoughtful, and some had their heads down, trying hard to suppress their smiles.
However, Chu Sicheng blinked twice, and in the helpless look of Frederick, he only said softly,
"Since you're so worried about me, does that mean that you knew at that time that I was actually—"
"His Majesty!"
Before Chu Sicheng could finish his words, Frederick, who had a bad feeling, interrupted him and turned around, kneeling down in front of the Insect King and said:
"Actually, after hearing what Mr. Ryan said just now, I also deeply feel that what I did was wrong. Even though Mr. Ryan has forgiven me at the time, after thinking about it over and over again, I still can't forgive myself for accidentally hurting you."
"As Your Excellency said, I was ungrateful. I haven't been able to face Your Excellency for a while now because I couldn't forgive myself. As I am now, I am truly unfit to oversee Maugras. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to use this merit to offset my fault and transfer this reward to Your Excellency Ryan so that I can express my apologies to Your Excellency."
Friedrich spoke sincerely, seemingly with full sincerity. Furthermore, the female insect in a state of mental violence was indeed unable to control herself...
The Insect King sighed and looked up at Chu Sicheng on the screen. "Sir Ryan, what do you think?"
"sure."
To everyone's surprise, Chu Sicheng actually agreed to Frederick's proposal.
Alex looked at Chu Sicheng in confusion, not understanding why Chu Sicheng didn't ignore Frederick's words and continue speaking.
Because based on Frederick's performance just now, it was obvious that the sentence Chu Sicheng had not finished saying was likely to pose a fatal threat to him.
Didn’t the male insect want to cooperate with him to crush Frederick under his feet before?
Why didn't you take advantage of such a good opportunity just now?
That’s because Chu Sicheng only wanted to torture Frederick physically and mentally, not to kill him directly.
Accidentally harming a male insect during a mental turmoil, and knowing that he is a male insect but not reporting it when he is sentenced to death are two completely different crimes.
However, this does not mean that Frederick, who only claimed the former, will have an easier time.
Chu Sicheng looked at the Insect King and said, "Then, Your Majesty, can I make any request?"
The Insect King nodded to Chu Sicheng, "It's all right."
"So……"
Chu Sicheng smiled slightly, and looked at Frederick with a look so gentle that it seemed as if water could overflow from it. However, the words he said were,
"My request is this—I want to be the witness between General Frederick and Sir Elio."
“!!!”
Before Chu Sicheng finished speaking, all the insects unconsciously widened their eyes.
Especially Alex.
because--
Chu Sicheng just arranged a marriage for Frederick in disguise.
He is his nominal fiancé...
