Chapter 395: Things Are Different Now
Mingxiao said, "I know you want to spend more time with His Highness and get more of His Highness's attention, but His Highness already likes you very much. Heiyao keeps nagging me every day, saying that he also wants His Highness's favoritism."
"Lord Vanguard, if you had told me earlier, I would have been willing to share even more of His Highness's affection for me with you, so you wouldn't have had to divide it up."
That way, I wouldn't have put myself in this predicament.
Mingxiao couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be a king, nor could he imagine what it would feel like to have a differentiated kin. These were all determined by genes. He felt that his kin, regardless of their current position, were all doing well. On the contrary, he felt that Caesar's differentiation was unnecessary, unless he could truly stay by the little prince's side as the male insect king.
Caesar chuckled at his words and reached out to ruffle his hair. "Silly Mingxiao, how can you share what you like?"
Mingxiao said, "I don't know. I just want you, Lord Vanguard, not to leave us. I can give you everything I have, but apart from what Your Highness likes, you don't lack anything else."
At this point, Mingxiao glanced at Sitar on Caesar's back and asked in a low voice, "Lord Vanguard, you don't really want to kill Prince Sitar, do you?"
Caesar gently bounced Sitar on his back and asked him, "What do you think?"
Mingxiao looked at Sitar, who had shrunk and fallen into a deep sleep. If Caesar wanted to make a move now, even if Sitar possessed the core, Caesar might not be unable to win. Here, even superpowers could not be used, and Caesar could make his move at any time.
only......
“Lord Vanguard, if you intend to take action, I will not stand idly by. Although I am no match for you, I will risk my life to prevent you from killing Prince Sitar.”
After Mingxiao finished speaking, a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes. "Vanguard Lord, as long as you are loyal to the Zerg, I will always stand with you. But I cannot watch you make the little prince sad. I am the little prince's servant, I belong to the little prince."
After saying this, he looked at Caesar's expression but couldn't discern anything. Caesar's expression was calm, and he didn't show any anger or other reaction.
After a long pause, Caesar finally spoke, asking, "Mingxiao, what if it's Sitar who comes to kill me?"
Mingxiao replied without hesitation, "Then I will stand in front of you, because if Sitar kills you, the young prince will also be heartbroken."
At this point, he laughed again, "Besides, you are now the King of Insects, and your orders are the same as Sitar's, right? You are not a heretic, so I can help you."
Caesar smiled faintly and patted Mingxiao's face. "Don't follow my example."
Mingxiao: "I learned everything from you, and I can't change it."
Caesar didn't say anything more. After a long while, Mingxiao heard him say, "Mingxiao, you did very well. You must always stand with the little princess. You belong to her."
Mingxiao stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Lord Vanguard, I feel that you are somewhat different from before."
"How are they different?"
"I think you look a bit like... like Augustis."
He didn't know why they looked alike, but he felt that Caesar's aura was very similar. Caesar was more composed than before and didn't smile as much. Although he would smile from time to time when talking to him, it wasn't as relaxed as before.
Could it be because Caesar differentiated into the male insect king?
The two walked along the river for more than two hours until a small town came into view.
Caesar led the way into the town.
The town's houses are all ordinary wooden cabins, scattered sparsely across the snow-covered plains along the river.
It was still daytime, and the town's residents were all working outside. They were all dressed in thick clothes and came from various races, some with animal-like features, some with mechanical parts, and some who looked like ordinary humanoids.
They were all outside chopping firewood or butchering game, and some children were running around in the street, their lively sounds instantly adding life to the quiet snowfield.
Mingxiao looked around. This town looked even more primitive than Claw Claw Star, with no trace of any technological tools. However, the people with mechanical parts on their bodies told Mingxiao that the intelligent beings here were not so primitive as to be without technology.
At this moment, all four of them revealed their Zerg characteristics, and the townspeople only glanced at them a couple of times before paying no further attention.
Only a few children were curious about them and stood aside watching them.
Tomorrow night, he went to see Caesar. Caesar led the way, and seeing that the place was not unfamiliar to him, he led him directly to a small wooden house near the river and pushed open the door to enter.
Mingxiao followed him inside. Caesar placed Sitar on the only bed at the very back, then came over, picked up Anno from his back, and gently placed her on the bed as well.
After tucking the two men in, Caesar lit the fireplace and began tidying up the house.
The house looked like it was inhabited, and it was clean and tidy. There wasn't much to tidy up. After a little tidying up, I lit a fire in the kitchen, and the house gradually felt warm and cozy as the fireplace steamed in.
Mingxiao watched Caesar fiddling around in the kitchen and asked, "Lord Vanguard, did you live here before?"
"Yes, I just remembered that there is such a place."
