Chapter 368: Concealing the Secret
Anno still couldn't have a late-night snack. She competed in the rain and was too excited after drinking alcohol that night, so she slept straight until the afternoon of the next day.
She had a long dream, in which Sitar was transformed into a mermaid.
As she got up, Sitar was still whispering in her ear, "Are we going swimming again today?"
Anno nestled in a chair on the balcony, sipping the refreshing tea that Bazel had brewed for her, and glanced listlessly at Sitar. "I'm not going."
She spent the whole night soaking in the sea in her dream, and she was completely satisfied.
Every time Sitar came to see her, she was particularly obsessed with him, especially after she got drunk, she would always cling to him and not let go.
She doesn't want to recall what she did last night from her mind's eye.
Sitar sat beside her, slowly flipping through a book. His long, silky black hair cascaded to the ground. The afternoon sun streamed in from the courtyard, illuminating his fair skin, handsome face, and... the strange hickeys and teeth marks on his neck.
Anuo looked at his fair neck, took a big gulp of tea, and muttered to herself, "She's drunk, she's drunk."
After reading it, she became self-righteous again. He was her male insect king, so what if she took a couple of bites?
Bai Yan handed Anuo a serving of chilled fruit yogurt, glanced at her and Sitar, and silently returned to the kitchen.
Obsidian, who was fiddling with a model in the living room, glanced at White Flame passing by behind him and whispered to his brother in the consciousness network.
"Brother, I've been listening to His Highness recite 'The Little Mermaid' all night long, Your Highness Sitar..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yan interrupted his consciousness.
Bai Yan was quite sensible. Prince Sitar was right in front of them. Even if they created a small group in the consciousness network, he would still hear them. Talking about Prince Sitar in front of him was asking for trouble.
Seeing that his older brother wasn't gossiping with him, Obsidian glanced around the living room. Bazel was tending to the yard, Secris was in the security department, Caesar was on the front lines, and Mingxiao and Poponia, who loved gossiping with him the most, were still training hard.
As for Tanwell, he looked back and saw Tanwell sitting on the sofa, his hands projecting densely packed documents onto a screen. He was a Zerg diplomat and was usually very busy.
With no one to gossip with, he could only mutter to himself.
Tanville caught the obsidian's muttering thoughts, a slight smile playing on his lips, and magnified his consciousness within the consciousness network.
Nestled in her chair, Anno heard Obsidian mutter in her mind network: "Since Your Highness likes mermaids so much, perhaps I can transform into one too, just with an extra tail."
"I remember Caesar had a mermaid clone. Is Your Highness thinking about Caesar?"
"The little prince cuddled and nibbled on Prince Sitar all night. If I turned into a mermaid, would the little prince nibble on me too?"
“My outer armor is a bit hard. If Your Highness wants to chew on it, I’ll have to put it away so that I can leave the same mark as His Highness Sitar.”
"But leaving a mark would seem too weak..."
"Pfft..." Anno choked on his tea while listening to Obsidian's mutterings to himself.
"Cough cough..."
Sitar took the teacup from her hand, patted her back, and glanced sideways at Obsidian.
Obsidian felt a chill run down his spine, and then he heard Sitar say to him in the consciousness network: "Obsidian, it seems you've been too idle lately. It's Secrisna who's been working for him."
Upon hearing Sital's order, Obsidian belatedly realized that everyone had heard his mutterings, and his face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
Bai Yan sighed, realizing she couldn't keep this silly younger brother.
Everything else is fine, but the fact that the young prince likes mermaids and misses Caesar, and then had a dream about mermaids all night, isn't that jumping into Prince Sitar's minefield!
In that instant, Bai Yan even figured out where to bury Obsidian.
It seems that Mingxiao made the right decision to go to the academy with the young prince. His silly younger brother also needs to study. Regardless of whether he can learn anything, at least he won't be tricked by that black-hearted worm Tanwell.
Bai Yan glared fiercely at Tanwell, who looked at the projected screen in front of him, tapping lightly with his finger, appearing completely indifferent.
The thoughts of the family members were in turmoil. Fragments of memories from last night flashed through Anno's mind. She really didn't want to see herself hugging and kissing Sitar. This was something she shouldn't do when she was drunk.
So she simply disconnected from the consciousness network, tidied herself up, and went out to train.
Leave Sitar at home and let Bazel go with him.
Tanville watched Anno's departing figure, his eyes flickering slightly.
The young princess wasn't like this before when she was with Prince Sitar. No matter what she did to Prince Sitar, even if she was shy, she was always self-righteous.
When Obsidian mentioned Caesar, the young prince instinctively avoided the topic.
His special ability is psychic ability. Among the Zerg, whose consciousness networks are interconnected, this ability allows him to see the consciousness of almost all Zerg members without any obstruction.
Two years ago, he sensed something was off between the young prince and Caesar, but it was too subtle for him to grasp immediately, and he wasn't quite sure.
After two years of observation and occasional use of his abilities to investigate, he was certain that there was a secret between the young prince and Caesar.
This is truly a novel and incredible thing.
Even with a male king, the queen beetle and a familiar are kept secret.
Tanville didn't know the reason, nor what the secret contained. He just felt a vague sense of danger, so he used his ability to conceal the traces of this consciousness.
Aside from extremely meticulous investigation, not a single detail will be leaked.
He is the young princess's personal attendant, and even if he knows something, he will definitely stand by her side.
However, the young princess was hiding this secret, and they didn't know how to help her.
He was more worried about Sitar. He didn't know what Caesar was hiding, but now they were all under Sitar's nose. If Sitar wanted to know something, he couldn't hide it from him.
As a member of the Familia, Tanvel was not allowed to actively probe the inner consciousness of the Ohmu, so he worried that Sital might know something terrible that Anno and Caesar were hiding.
