Chapter 238: Learning to Be Cute
Anno returned to the front-line base.
Before returning, she had thought things through carefully, but the moment she stepped out of the spatial portal, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
My mother must be very angry right now.
Otherwise, why would even consciousness be in a do-not-disturb state?
She looked at Nancy and the others who had come back with her and asked them, "How was Mother's mood before you went to find me?"
Seeing Anuo's somewhat uneasy look, Nancy couldn't help but want to pat her head to comfort her, but she was their princess, not someone they could touch at will.
"Your Highness, the Queen will not be angry with you. You can go to see her without worry."
Before they came out, the queen was indeed very angry, her face was icy cold, and all the servants around her were so intimidated by her aura that they dared not even breathe loudly.
The Queen hasn't been this angry in a long time.
Anno hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the base, but still walked into the base.
She could sense her mother's consciousness in the consciousness network. It was almost noon, and her mother had just finished a meeting and was going to inspect the fleet later to prepare for the front-line battle.
Anno entered the base's conference hall and waited for his mother to come out at a corner of the corridor.
Every day, many staff members are busy coming and going in the conference hall, and they all look at Anno sitting in the chair with some surprise.
They all knew this little queen insect of the Zerg. She usually went straight into the conference room, so why was she sitting here?
Looking at her gentle and obedient appearance, they could not possibly regard her as a Zerg.
This little queen insect probably belongs to the Firefly branch of the insect race, and its form is very different from other branches of the insect race. It is also the smallest in human form. If you ignore the faintly glowing insect patterns on her body and the light band behind her ears, she looks similar to the girls in their race.
Seeing her sitting there with her head down, swinging her legs slightly, her chubby cheeks making her look incredibly cute, one can't help but want to go up to her and ask if she's encountered any difficulties or troubles.
Who could bear to let such a lovely child be troubled or sad?
However, the tall Zerg servants guarding her could only glance at her and dared not approach.
As Cangmiao came out of the conference room, she saw Anno sitting obediently in a chair at the corner.
He raised an eyebrow, knowing exactly why the little guy was sitting there.
He had thought she would stay with the Queen for at least a few days before returning, but now it seemed she was coming back to apologize.
Her personality was much gentler than that of the other Zerg.
As a queen insect, it's normal for her to throw a tantrum, but it seems abnormal for her to admit her mistake.
The younger the Zerg are, the more irritable they are, especially the Overlords. Forget about admitting their mistakes; if you try to tell an Overlord that they're wrong, they'll attack you.
He had a deep understanding of the personality traits of Augustus and Sevier.
He walked up to Anuo and asked, feigning ignorance, "Little princess, what are you doing here?"
Anno heard him, looked up at him, and pursed her lips slightly, "I'm just sitting here, not doing anything."
She admitted her mistake, but she wouldn't let others know that she came to apologize.
The little king worm still needs to maintain its pride and dignity.
Cangmiao saw her feigned composure and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. "Sevier is waiting for you inside. She's all alone. Go on."
Upon hearing this, Anno immediately stood up from his chair and walked towards the conference room.
She took two steps and then stopped, turning to look at Cangmiao.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked him, "What was Mother's performance like at the meeting today?"
She had always been the one being pampered by her mother, whether it was her wolf mother, or later, Locke, and now her mother. She had never seen them angry with her, and she really didn't know how to coax or deal with her mother if she got angry.
She just wanted to make her mother angry and unhappy.
Cangmiao found her cautious manner intriguing; her personality was quite unlike that of a queen insect.
"I was the last one to come out of the meeting room," Cangmiao said slowly. "Everyone else left after the meeting ended, scared away."
Upon hearing this, Anuo felt even more uneasy. So, her mother was still angry?
Should she wait until her mother calms down before seeing her?
Seeing that Anuo had taken two steps back and looked like she was about to back down, Cangmiao stopped teasing her, otherwise Sevier would come after him.
"Go in, she's not angry, it's always like this at every meeting."
The air pressure has been a bit lower these past two days, but it doesn't make much difference to others.
Anno glared at Cangmiao slightly; he had said that on purpose.
Cangmiao said, "Do you know how to act cute? Go and act cute with Sevier. She'll not only stop being angry, but she'll also grant you whatever you want."
Anno paused for a moment, then walked towards the conference room.
It shouldn't be difficult to act cute.
When they reached the door, Nancy and the others all stopped and watched as Anno gently pushed open the conference room door and peeked inside.
They all smiled slightly and stepped aside.
Anno's gaze swept across the conference room and landed on her mother, who was standing in front of the conference table, fiddling with the projector.
Judging from the content projected, it appears to be a strategic map.
Sevier heard the noise and looked up at her.
After exchanging glances with her for two seconds, Anno closed the conference room door.
Sevier waved her hand, turning off the projection. "Anunu, come here."
Anno: Oh no, Mom hasn't called me "little darling" anymore, she must be very angry.
As Sevier watched Anunu cautiously move towards her step by step, the anger in her heart subsided somewhat.
I didn't expect Anunu to be so afraid of her.
She knew Anunu was back the moment she emerged from the portal, quickly ended the meeting, and waited for Anunu to come to her.
Unexpectedly, Anunu sat in the conference hall for quite a while before slowly entering the conference room.
She sighed inwardly and walked towards Anunu.
Anuo stopped in her tracks as she watched her mother's tall figure approach.
When Séville stopped in front of her, she took a small half-step back and shrank her neck.
Seeing her little actions, Sevier was no longer angry; she was now thinking about how to coax her, to reassure her that she wasn't angry with her.
She knelt down in front of Anuo, looking her in the eye, and said, "My darling..."
When Anuo heard her mother call her "darling," she immediately looked up at her, her eyes lighting up.
Anno reached out and gently tugged at the long hair hanging by Sevier's ear, then pinched her earlobe and whispered, "Mom, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
When Sevier heard her words, she felt as if she had been punched in the chest, and even breathing felt painful.
She stretched out her long arm and pulled Anunu into her arms.
"My darling, Mommy isn't angry with you, don't be sad."
Anno hugged Sevier's neck and rubbed her cheek against the crook of her neck. "Mom, don't be angry with Secrus and the others. I deliberately kept it from them and told them not to tell."
Sevier sighed softly and stroked her long hair, saying, "Mom is angry with herself. Mom has been too busy lately and didn't even notice that you used the primal energy."
She couldn't let anything happen to Anunu again; she couldn't imagine losing Anunu again.
So even the slightest thing about Anunu makes her as easily startled as a bird.
This time, she punished all the crimes on Anunu's retinue, but even after punishing them, she was still angry.
She was being far too cautious with Anunu.
"Mom, can we let Cecil and the others come back?"
Sevier said she wasn't angry anymore, and Anno took the opportunity to ask her to release her family members.
Sevier picked up Anno, sat her down in a chair, placed her on her lap, and patiently said to her, "Baby, you are the Queen Worm, the future heir of your mother. If anything goes wrong with you, it is their responsibility."
Therefore, the punishment should still be imposed.
Anno stared at Sevier for a while, thinking about what Cangmiao had said to her when she came in.
If she just acts cute, her mother won't be angry and will agree to anything she wants.
Thinking of this, she reached out and cupped Sevier's face, then leaned in and kissed her cheek.
"Mom, can we bring Cecil and the others back?"
After saying that, he touched her cheek again.
Sevier raised an eyebrow, looking at Anno with a somewhat surprised expression.
Who taught her this? Has she learned to act cute?
Sevier's heart had already softened after being coaxed like that.
“Tanville and the others can come back, but Secris has to finish his punishment.”
This time she discovered that Secris had a similar side to Caesar, helping Anunu hide this from her, and she couldn't let it go so easily.
If we don't make an example of him, all his relatives will follow suit.
Not long ago, she thought he was the most composed person around Anunu, but it seems he was too composed. He has such big ideas, and he dared to hide such a big thing.
Seeing that her mother had relented, Anuo decided to stop while she was ahead, as long as her mother wasn't angry anymore.
As for Caesar and Secris, who are still trapped in the abyss, she should find another way to release them.
The abyss was empty, pitch black, and its energy was blocked.
The Zerg prefer nighttime environments, but they don't like places completely devoid of light.
The Zerg's environment is full of glowing creatures and minerals, which is the kind of environment they like.
