Chapter 172: Hairband
“His abilities are surprisingly strong.” Sevier said, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
It's not uncommon for a high-ranking individual to possess dual abilities; what's rare is Caesar's mental fortitude.
The Phantom Clan has produced many members with the ability to create clones, but it's already quite impressive that they can create several clones at the same time.
The concept of over eight hundred clones was unimaginable before the emergence of Caesar among the Zerg.
No wonder she felt he was different from the other family members, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
After waking up from the abyss, her attention was focused on Anunu, but she only had a general understanding of the few familiars around Anunu.
These companions were chosen by her and Augustus for Anunu, but soon after she went into the abyss and fell into a deep sleep, where she saw Secris hatch.
Secris' personality hasn't changed much since he was a child; he always has a stern face and doesn't like to talk.
Sevier said, "If Anunu wants to go to the front lines, ask Hibia, who is by Cangmiao's side. He should be back from his mission in a few days."
Inside the inner hall, Anno was curled up on the sofa, clutching a wine bottle. Many empty bottles were scattered on the table and the floor.
She took a swig from the bottle, glancing at Tanville beside her. He was tall and his drinking posture was very elegant.
Seeing the headband on his head, she reached out and pulled it into her hand.
Tanvel smiled at her: "Does Your Highness like my hairband?"
Anno nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Seeing her like this, Tanville knew she was drunk.
He pulled out several more hair ribbons from his pocket, all of different colors. "If Your Highness likes them, I have more here."
Bai Yan and Hei Yao couldn't help but roll their eyes again. Tanwell actually carried so many hairbands with him!
Anuo looked at the hairband in his hand, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the hairband from his hand, and ran towards the balcony, "Bragging Mao Mao's hair!"
Tanville and his two companions watched as she ran off barefoot and quickly gave chase.
Anuo jumped off the balcony, and Mao Mao, who was lying below, sensed her presence, looked up, and caught her face-first.
Tanville and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her jump onto Mao Mao.
Anno turned around and waved to them: "Come on over and let's braid Mao Mao's hair!"
Oh, Your Highness's command!
They immediately jumped down from the balcony and helped her braid Mao Mao's hair.
Mao Mao let out a disgruntled "Awooo!" at the three of them, but remembering that Anuo was on its back, it obediently lay still.
After Anuo finished tying the hairband in her hand, she looked at Mao Mao with satisfaction.
By this time, Mao Mao had many braids on its head, making it look quite different from the most ferocious creature in the Zerg.
Tanville continued to smile as he looked at Momo, while Baiyan remained silent, and Heiyao pursed his lips to suppress the upward curve of his mouth.
They watched as the little prince held Mao Mao's head and affectionately rubbed against it: "Mao Mao is so well-behaved, Mao Mao is so beautiful!"
The three of them were in complete agreement on their thoughts within the consciousness network at this moment.
The little prince is so cute!
After hugging Mao Mao, Anno turned to look at the three of them, and then rushed towards Tanville.
Tanville naturally opened his arms to welcome Anno, his expression impassive, but his heart pounding with joy.
Anuo grabbed his waist and started rummaging through his pockets.
Tanvel gently embraced her and asked softly, "What does Your Highness desire?"
Anno searched for a long time but couldn't get anything out of his pocket. She looked up and said, "I want braids!"
Tanville understood; this person still wanted the headband.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you soon."
He wanted to go back to get the hairband for Anuo, but Anuo clung to his waist like a koala. When he tried to leave, she wrapped her legs around him. "You can't go! Give me the hairband, I want to braid my hair!"
As she spoke, she even bit him, saying, "You're disobedient!"
Anno bit his waist through his thin clothes. Tanwell didn't put up any defenses next to Anno, and even withdrew the energy flowing in his body.
Anno's sharp little teeth bit directly into his flesh, and his expression changed slightly. He couldn't even hold onto his smile anymore, as if he was enduring something.
It wasn't that he felt pain; the injury was negligible to him. But because he was caught off guard and unprepared, the prince's bite made him feel a little itchy.
Seeing that Anuo was still angry after biting him and was grinding her teeth on the spot, he smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I'm not leaving."
He had already instructed his subordinates to send him a message through the consciousness network.
Only after hearing his words did Anuo reluctantly release him.
Bai Yan and Hei Yao watched from the sidelines, their hearts aching. Your Highness, why reward him?
Five minutes later, the three of them sat on the carpet in the room, their hair in a mess of braids and tied with colorful ribbons.
Bai Yan and Hei Yao stared at Tanville, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
They were frantically greeting Tanville in the consciousness network.
Why do you carry so many headbands in your pockets?!
If he hadn't worn so many hairbands, His Highness wouldn't have thought of tying his hair in braids!
This isn't the worst part. As long as His Highness is happy, we can do whatever we want to them.
But Her Highness's now completely open mind tells them that she will take the three of them to the main hall to see the two kings later.
There were quite a few family members in the main hall, and they were even having a video conference with other allied star systems!
Now they can only pray that the video conference ends quickly, so that they can be "appreciated" by their own kind, but it would be terrible if people from other star systems saw it.
They could imagine how Caesar and his men would laugh at them when they returned.
"Bai Yan, here's another little flower for you."
After braiding Bai Yan's hair, Anuo took a flower from a vase of dried ornamental flowers on the table and held it up to his head.
Bai Yan lowered her head, letting her tuck the dried flowers into her hair.
Then, she turned to look at Obsidian and took out another dried flower from the vase, saying, "If the older brother has flowers, the younger brother should have some too."
Hearing this, Obsidian happily moved forward a little and stretched his head out so that Anno could put the flower on him.
Tanvel's voice rang out behind Anno, "Your Highness, can I have flowers too?"
Anno nodded, "You have one too, you're the best!"
As she spoke, she hugged Tanville's neck and rubbed against him.
The smiles of Bai Yan and Hei Yao vanished instantly.
Very good, they've recorded it. They've memorized this scene. They'll show it to Caesar when he gets back!
The two silently added another charge against Tanville in their hearts, preparing to fan the flames when Caesar returned.
"Sweetheart, what are you doing?"
Sevier and Aughis finished their meeting and went to the inner sanctum to see Anno. As soon as they reached the door, they saw her playing with Tanvel's hair.
Anno excitedly said to them, "Mom and Dad, look how pretty my braids are!"
At this moment, Tanville and White Flame Obsidian turned to look at them at the same time. Their messy braids and colorful headbands made them look very funny. Even if their faces were good-looking, they couldn't withstand such styling.
Augsis burst into laughter, leaning against the wall, before being pinched by Sevier to stop.
"Don't laugh, Anunu is watching!"
Two minutes later, Augsis also sat on the ground, and Anno grabbed her hair and braided it.
Tanville and his two companions stood upright to one side, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
Bai Yan and Hei Yao glanced sideways at Tanville in unison, silently praying for him in their hearts.
The headband is his; it's none of their business!
Surprisingly, they did not sense any anger from the king; instead, they heard him speaking to His Highness in a very gentle tone.
“Anunuza is really good, Dad loves it.”
Anno said happily, "Anunu saved the biggest flower for Daddy!"
As she spoke, she put the flower on his head.
Sevier sat down next to Augsis, rested her chin on Augsis's shoulder, and looked at Anno with a smile, "Daddy has the biggest flower, so what about Mommy?"
"Mom has the prettiest one!"
Anno placed a shimmering gem flower on Sevier's head. This gem flower was something that White Flame had just conjured from ore, as Obsidian and the others had been trying to keep her entertained and give her all sorts of things in order to delay the end of the meeting.
Sevier touched the jewel flower on her head, hugged Anno, and kissed her twice. "My little darling is so sweet."
Anuo hugged and kissed her, saying, "Mommy is the best."
Augustus leaned closer: "What about Dad?"
"Dad is good too."
She then kissed him, making them both very happy.
