Chapter 235: She Will Be Sad
Anno reviewed the memories of yesterday's drunkenness in her mind, leaned close to Secris by the bathtub, and said, "Keep your mind under control and don't let Mother know."
Secris felt Anno's gaze and looked up to meet her clear, light blue eyes.
He was always a man of few words, a typical Zerg personality. He would avoid speaking if possible, and he was always the most taciturn one around Anno.
Unlike today's young Zerg, they don't use the internet to do things they like.
It seems that he has no particular hobbies other than leading troops into battle.
Seeing that he didn't seem to react, Anuo moved closer to his face. "Do you know?"
Although she talked to him for a long time after getting drunk yesterday, those were words she uttered while intoxicated, and now she still needs to emphasize them to him again.
As Cecris looked at Anno's face that had suddenly come close, his breath caught in his throat, and his throat bobbed slightly.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will stay by your side during this time."
In the interstellar war, Augsis and Sevier's high-ranking servants are leading the battle. If manpower is needed, Sevier will send Caesar to fill in; if not, Caesar will continue to squat in the abyss, facing the wall.
The Zerg population has now reached its peak, and they have no shortage of warriors.
Anno chuckled and tickled Secris's cheek with his finger. "That's good."
Secris lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes again.
He felt the spot on his cheek where Anno touched him burning hot, as if it were on fire.
Just like the kiss she had placed on his cheek yesterday, he still remembered the vivid sensation.
Soft and fluffy, with tears in her eyes.
At that time, he was thinking that he must never do anything that would make His Highness shed tears.
She will be sad.
Anno soaked in the golden sand for two hours. Soaking for so long was both very comfortable and an opportunity to absorb the energy from the amethyst ore.
During this time, her mother returned from the front lines and sent her greetings.
She honestly admitted that she was soaking in Jinsha.
Anno didn't realize how smart Cecil was until Sevier asked her and she gave her reply.
He crushed the amethyst and mixed it into the gold sand, not only to help her absorb it better, but also to conceal her use of the amethyst during their mental communication.
In Zerg communication, one must either respond or, once responding, cannot lie.
Sevier asked her what she was doing, and she replied that she was soaking in gold sand, which wasn't a lie, but rather an avoidance of admitting that she was using amethyst ore.
However, through this incident, she also realized that family members do sometimes try to outsmart each other.
This is similar to a network system having bugs; Caesar was the last member of the family to exploit this small bug.
In fact, most of the high-ranking family members knew this to some extent; it's just a matter of whether they chose to use it or not.
The Zerg are naturally subservient to the Overlords, making them absolutely loyal, unless one or two rebels like Caesar emerge.
The ultimate goal is still the Ohmu, even though it's wrong, it remains loyal.
If he does something even more rebellious in the future, Sevier will not tolerate him. He is just a little bug who wants to gain more attention and love from the Queen Bug.
But that doesn't stop him from now being the Zerg's number one negative example.
She was the family member whom Sevier disliked the most.
Now, Secris, the Anunu servant whom Sevil is most satisfied with, is taking amethyst from the supply depot.
The Zerg have no shortage of resources and energy, but because of the existence of the Zerg consciousness network and the division of labor, each person performs their own duties. Even taking a small piece of ore from the supply depot will be recorded in the consciousness network by the supply administrator.
However, they usually don't specifically check. But if they are seen, a quick scan of the person taking the supplies' mental network will reveal their purpose for taking the item.
Fortunately, Secris was of a high level. In addition to his fellow servants of the same level, there were also Sevier and Augsis. Lower-level servants would not dare to probe his consciousness in the consciousness network.
When Secris went to get the amethyst, he always avoided Poponia and the others.
These past few days, Seville has been holding various meetings with high-ranking Allied officials, preparing for the interstellar war.
Anno would also visit Anaiya on Firefly Star from time to time. The front-line base was located in the asteroid belt of the North River front, which was not too far away. Each time, Hibia would come over to help her open the space gate.
After Secris received the amethyst, he always gave it to her secretly.
Sevier knew that Anno was with Anaiya on Firefly Star, and was happy to let her relax and have some fun.
Right now, all she wants is for Anunu to be happy. She's at an age where she should be playing and growing, and there's no need for her to learn anything yet. The Consciousness Network will pass on everything, and after she abdicates, she will already have the knowledge a queen should have through the inheritance of the Consciousness Network.
Every Zerg Queen has ascended to the throne in this way.
Séville was considered to have ascended the throne relatively early, as she was born late; her mother was quite old when she was born.
But the older you get, the more knowledge you acquire and the more life experience you gain.
Sevier inherited a great deal of knowledge from her mother, who gave her all the remaining energy before she fell into oblivion.
Because the previous queen was older, Seville had to ascend the throne at a young age, but her rich experience made her a young queen with a strong presence.
As a result, she conceived Anunu very quickly.
So now the Zerg don't need Anuno to do anything; all she has to do is grow up healthy and happy.
At this moment, Anno was with Anaiya on Firefly Star, watching the Holy Spirits channel energy around the seed of the Sacred Tree.
Now, this sacred tree seed has taken root and grown to be as tall as a person, making it a small sapling.
Anaya and the others have been trying for several days and have confirmed that transplantation is not possible. The roots of the sacred tree sapling have already penetrated very deep and are connected to the planet's internal energy.
Tianyun is already preparing to discuss with the Zerg about moving to another planet.
"What's this?"
Anaya looked at the translucent purple crystal in Anno's hand and asked, "I've been seeing Anno holding such a piece of mineral for the past two days."
Anno said, "It's amethyst, used to replenish energy."
As she spoke, Anno glanced back and saw that besides Secris, Tanwell and Mingxiao were also there.
Now that their punishments are over and they've all been released, it will be more difficult for Secris to give her the amethyst than before.
They found out, and even if she forbade them to tell, she couldn't hide it from them.
"Replenish energy? Aren't you already got plenty of energy?"
Anaya could sense that Anno's energy was very abundant, unlike someone who appeared to be weak.
Anno briefly explained the matter of primordial energy to her.
Anaya exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is. No wonder you seemed to be avoiding your family members and talking to Secris more. I thought you liked Secris more and wanted to spend time alone with him."
Anno: "He's my favorite right now."
Because Cecil is so reliable, she's now relying on him to keep the secret and stabilize things for a while.
In the Zerg race, the word "secret" is practically nonexistent, so Anno was quite uneasy.
Fortunately, Secris was very steady. Given Anno's understanding of the other members of the family, he knew that anyone else would have been unable to hide their true intentions.
Anno glanced back, smiled at Secris, and his smile vanished immediately upon seeing Tanvel beside him.
Tanville's abilities were something he could easily ascertain with a simple probe, so she always tried to avoid him.
After noticing the difference in treatment between him and Secris, Tanville turned to Secris and asked, "While I was away, were you and His Highness hiding something from us?"
Apart from Caesar, none of the other members of the household would show too much selfishness in front of Her Highness. Even if they wanted to gain more of Her Highness's attention, they all knew it.
But he keenly realized that there seemed to be something about Secris and His Highness that he didn't know.
These past few days, His Highness has been frequently visiting Secris, and he is also the one who attends to him the most.
Secris is the most "upright" among them, and would never do anything to compete for His Highness's favor just for his own sake.
It seems like something else is going on.
He tried to probe Secris's consciousness, but Secris warned him against it.
However, it's understandable that Secris has never liked others barging into his consciousness like this.
But he still felt something was wrong.
"Speak, what is it between you and His Highness that you cannot speak of?"
Secris gave him a cold look: "Does His Highness need to tell you if he likes being with me? If you're incompetent, don't come to me looking for help."
Tanville: ...?
No, why is it also a personal attack?
