Chapter 155: Acting Cute
Anuo didn't want to sleep, but after listening to Luo Su talking incessantly in her ear, she somehow fell asleep after lying on the chair for a while.
Perhaps it was because the manic energy had just been calmed down, and a gentle, comfortable energy surrounded her, which was somewhat hypnotic. Or perhaps it was because she had been affected by past memories these past few days, and her mind had been tense and tired. Only after releasing it on the battlefield did her mind relax.
She was finally able to fall asleep without any conscious comforting from anyone.
The environment around her was harsh; even indoors, she could hear the howling wind and the roars of wild animals outside.
Outside the window, the scene was desolate and eerie, with soldiers clearing the battlefield.
In this small room, there was also a strange girl.
Strangely, she didn't feel uneasy at all. She just lay in the recliner, sleeping soundly without dreaming.
Caesar and the others stood guard outside the door. Even though Anno was asleep, they didn't go in. They just stood at the door watching over her, glancing inside every now and then.
Seeing that she was asleep, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her Highness's emotions had been very stable during this period, which was actually not normal.
She had been suppressing her emotions, and now that they were released, it would be wonderful if she could get a good night's sleep.
Caesar leaned against the door, his eyes fixed on Anno's sleeping face. His cold gaze would always soften unconsciously when he looked at her, turning him into the Caesar who was only very good-tempered, kind, and polite in front of her.
In fact, he could open a portal directly to the Zerg base. The shield of the North River system is indeed very strong, but he could sense it in advance when he opened the portal.
His spatial abilities, according to current interstellar standards, are at least SS-level. At this level, one can go anywhere without specific obstacles.
But he knew that His Highness wanted to fight in order to release the negative emotions in his heart so that he wouldn't be trapped in the memories of the past.
No one can say that they can completely heal the wounds Her Highness suffered in the past, because no one has experienced the kind of hurt and suffering she has endured. From the time she was still in her shell, she began to suffer the harm that this world inflicted on her, and it is not something that can be easily overcome.
Their ability to comfort her could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The only solution was to stay by her side, let her do what she wanted, and ensure that she experienced happiness throughout her future, gradually healing her over a long period of time.
They, the Zerg, have long lifespans, and coincidentally, all their future time will belong to her.
When Caesar saw that the little Holy Spirit was also asleep, he silently walked to Anno, squatted down, and gently took her hand to touch his cheek.
As members of the royal family, they should have a sense of awe towards the king. Even though they know that His Highness is a king with an overly good temper, they should not "take advantage of his favor." However, he just couldn't control himself and wanted to get closer to her and become a member of her family who was valued by her.
This is perhaps also the wish of other family members.
His Highness has such a good personality and is soft-hearted; he cannot allow Secris and the others to occupy too much of His Highness's attention.
Possessiveness and jealousy are emotions that should not exist in a member of the household; they are a great disrespect to His Highness. Therefore, he buried these emotions deep in his heart.
As the future queen, Your Highness will not be possessed by anyone. She will rule the entire Zerg race in the future, and she will have even greater goals.
Therefore, they cannot cause her any emotional distress.
Anno sensed someone beside her. Awakening from her peaceful dream, she turned her head and met Caesar's exquisitely handsome face, his golden eyes gazing at her tenderly.
"Your Highness, I apologize for waking you!"
When Caesar saw that she had woken up, he bowed his head and apologized.
Anno had been asleep for a while, and now she felt an unprecedented peace, as if the memories of the past were gradually fading away from her, and the burning flame in her chest had subsided.
She stared at Caesar for a long time, while Caesar lowered his eyes, still feeling guilty for waking her.
Anno's lips curled up slightly as she looked at him gently. "You know perfectly well that you won't wake me up, but you also know that my perception of you will be stronger."
Hearing her slightly husky, gentle voice, Caesar couldn't help but look up at her. "Your Highness..."
Looking into her calm, pale blue eyes, Caesar felt as if he had been struck by lightning. "Yes, I know everything."
Caesar withdrew the whip from Anno's wrist: "Your Highness, I have overstepped my bounds, please punish me."
Anno looked at Caesar, who seemed remorseful and waiting to be punished for his mistake, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.
She turned to the side, adjusted to a comfortable position, placed her hand under her head, and looked at Caesar, asking, "You knowingly committed this crime."
Caesar lowered his head even further: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong."
Seeing him like this, Anno couldn't help but tease him: "You're not a proper family member like this, I think..."
Before she could finish speaking, Caesar suddenly raised his head, his face turning deathly pale. "Your Highness, you can punish me however you like, just don't transfer me away, don't abandon me."
As he spoke, he grabbed Anuo's dangling leg and rested his forehead on Anuo's knee.
Anno: "..."
She only meant to tease him, but she didn't expect him to react so strongly, like a little puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner.
She tried to pull her legs back, but Caesar held her tightly.
"...Let me go."
Caesar looked up at her. "Your Highness, you won't abandon me, will you?"
Tears welled up in those golden eyes, and coupled with her pale cheeks, she looked incredibly pitiful.
Anno sighed inwardly, "Oh no!" and patted his head. "I didn't say I didn't want you."
Caesar then beamed with joy, and his genuine smile made Anno smile as well.
It's so nice to be happy so easily.
"Lord Secris, why are you standing outside the door? Is His Highness resting?"
After Mingxiao and Tanwell finished dealing with some matters at the base, they prepared to come over and relieve Secris and Caesar. They had been taking turns guarding His Highness, and now it was their turn.
Upon arrival, he saw Secris standing outside the door without going in. Considering that there was a Holy Spirit of Tianyun inside, it might not be convenient for him to go in.
But they noticed that Secris's expression wasn't good. He usually had a cold face, but now it was even colder, as if ice crystals were about to fall out.
Mingxiao and Tanwell were puzzled, so they couldn't help but peek inside. Good heavens!
Caesar was actually clinging to His Highness's leg and acting all cute!
Mingxiao almost immediately wanted to rush in. Why is it always Caesar and His Highness who are so close? His Highness shouldn't be so nice to Caesar!
I'm so jealous of him!
Tanville pulled Mingxiao back from rushing in, saying, "His Highness is in a stable and good mood right now, so please don't go in and disturb him."
Mingxiao muttered to herself, "I can also make His Highness happy, so why can't I go in?"
