Chapter 236: Helpless
The daytime hours of the Firefly Star are very short; it spends most of its time in darkness.
As night falls, the planet is teeming with bioluminescent creatures, an environment that the Zerg would certainly prefer.
The Zerg homeworld has no sunlight; they rely on minerals and bioluminescent organisms to light up the night, and Anno gradually grew to like this environment.
Enveloped in darkness, the light that gradually illuminates the night is like a fire in the dead of winter, bringing a sense of inexplicable peace.
However, the Firefly Star has now been given to the Skycloud System, and the Zerg have chosen two new planets with environments similar to Firefly Star.
This doesn't hinder anything; with Caesar's portal, she can go to any planet she wants in the future.
"After I'm done with this busy period, how about I take you to the Tianyun Galaxy?"
Anno turned to look at Anaya and said without hesitation, "Okay, I haven't been to the Tianyun Star System yet, so I'll go see your children while I'm at it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anaya's personal computer lit up, indicating that a communication call had been made.
Anaya smiled and said, "Speaking of children, here they come."
She answered the call, and a childish voice came through, "Mommy, when are you coming back? Snowball misses Mommy so much."
Anaya: "Mom, after you're done with these few days, can you go back to see Snowball?"
Anno couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and a little dumpling with two tiny pigtails appeared on the projection screen.
She looks at least 70% like Anaya and is very cute.
Anaya put her arm around her and introduced her, "This is my youngest daughter, Galan, nicknamed Snowball. She's the naughtiest of them all."
"Mother."
A boy appeared on the screen, looking only eight or nine years old. He was exceptionally handsome and looked almost exactly like Cang Miao.
Anaya saw him and said softly, "Little star, have you missed your mother?"
The boy nodded, his delicate face expressionless, looking extremely indifferent.
“This is my eldest son, Cangyao,” Anaya continued, introducing him to Anno.
"Mommy, who is this pretty lady?"
Snowball opened her big, round eyes and asked curiously.
Anuo corrected her: "Not sister, aunt."
Snowball tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Auntie?"
Although she looked about the same age as her mother, Snowball felt that the older sister in front of her was still very young and not much older than her.
Seeing her daughter's puzzled look, Anaiya smiled and said, "You can call me 'sister' or 'auntie'."
Snowball said crisply, "Then call me 'older sister'!"
Anuo thought to herself that although Xueqiu'er's way of calling her made her and Sister Nai look like they were from different generations, given the relationship between Cangmiao and her parents, it wasn't wrong for her to call her "sister".
According to Cangmiao's generation, she is indeed of the same generation as his children.
From this perspective, it seems that Cangmiao is an old ox eating young grass.
As Anno was thinking this, Anaiya had already ended her call with the children.
She received an important task and had to go and handle some work.
Anno didn't disturb her and said he would stay there a little longer.
Now that she has nothing to do, she has been using amethyst to restore her original energy these past few days. She checked and estimated that after using amethyst for another five or six days, her original energy would be restored to its original level.
She thought about it and realized that there were only a few days left. She decided to stay on Firefly Star and live with Anaiya for a few days until the situation was fully recovered before returning to the front-line base.
Tang Ting and Bai Zhou have almost finished their transformation. Once Caesar finishes his confinement in the abyss, she can have him open the spatial gate and return to the main star.
She hadn't seen her father for a while, and he would send her messages every day using his personal computer.
They were all routine greetings: whether I ate well, what I did today, and the usual routine of checking in on my mother.
Every day, gold dust and some energy stones are transported to her from the Zerg home planet. It takes about a day to jump from the Zerg home planet to the front-line main base.
Many of these are gifts for mothers.
Because of his mother's anger, his father is now being neglected again, spending his days alone in the palace.
Even though they were so far apart, the father couldn't communicate with the mother through the consciousness network. When he sent her messages, she wouldn't respond.
When Anno was at the front-line base, she would take some photos to send to her father, but now that she has come to Firefly Star, she can't help him anymore.
Sevier knew that she was with Anaiya, and she had been asking about her daily life occasionally these past few days.
With Secris and the others by Anunu's side, she had nothing to worry about.
"Your Highness, this is the last piece."
After having dinner at their residence, Anno and Anaiya went for a walk, and Secris took the opportunity to slip her the last piece of amethyst he had brought with him.
He didn't know she would be staying on Firefly Star for so long, so he only brought two pieces with him when he came out.
Now he has no choice but to go back to the front-line base to get it; it's definitely not feasible to have other family members deliver it.
However, he would inspect the legion every day or two, so it wouldn't be too noticeable.
Tanville and Bazel stood at the back, looking at Secris standing side by side with Anno, their expressions varied.
Mingxiao said with a surprised look, "Your Highness seems to really enjoy spending time with Lord Secris lately."
Even Mingxiao noticed something was wrong. The others hadn't, but they couldn't freely probe His Highness's consciousness, and Secris's personality also prevented them from wandering in his consciousness territory.
All they knew was that Your Highness seemed to be hiding a secret.
And this secret is known only to Secris.
Thinking of this, they felt a little uneasy, as if His Highness thought they were useless and was unwilling to share this secret with them.
The Zerg race has no secrets to begin with; their consciousness is shared. Even if they can hide something slightly, they are as transparent as a blank sheet of paper in front of the highest-ranking Overlord.
Even if Secris refused, they could easily find out the "secret" he was trying to hide. However, they felt that His Highness didn't want them to know, so they could only do nothing and pretend they knew nothing.
Based on their understanding of His Highness, what His Highness wants to hide is something he certainly doesn't want the Queen to know.
They didn't want the Queen to know, because it must be something that would worry her.
They had only been punished by Sevier not long ago, and thinking about this, Tanville and the others couldn't help but feel worried. If anything happened to His Highness again, they would be the ones punished to go to the abyss.
Then I won't be able to serve by His Highness's side anymore.
The others all looked at Tanville at the same time, as he was now the most likely to find out the truth from Cyrus.
As long as he has the ability to move.
Tanville watched as Secris turned and left Anno's side, heading towards the direction of the aircraft; he was heading back to the front-line main base.
They knew from the consciousness network that he was going to inspect the legion, but Tanvir felt something was wrong.
Inspecting the legion was not mandatory. He had finally gotten a truce and could stay by His Highness's side. He could delegate the task of inspecting the legion to his adjutant and other family members, and did not necessarily have to do it himself.
He recalled seeing Secris come out of the warehouse once.
What is he going to the warehouse to get?
If it's just about taking inventory of supplies, he doesn't need to go in person; he can just ask the administrator in the consciousness network.
Tanville watched Secris's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly.
Just as he was about to use his power, Bazel placed her hand on her shoulder and shook her head at him.
Why are you stopping me?
After two seconds, Tanville said in a deep voice, "You know that too."
Bazell did not deny it.
He did know that one day when he went to observe the transformation of Tang Ting and the others, he saw through the half-open door that Secris handed the amethyst to Anno.
Upon seeing the amethyst, he knew what Anno had been hiding from them.
It is also speculated that she must have used primordial energy in a parallel universe, which is related to that Mingxi.
He knew what Nono was thinking. She thought that she could restore the original energy with the amethyst in just a few days, so that Sevier wouldn't have to worry.
Her past experiences shaped her personality; she didn't want them to know, so he pretended not to know.
He just thought that perhaps this couldn't be kept from the Queen.
After all, even they know, so it's only a matter of time before the Queen finds out. Even if the Queen only finds out about this after she has recovered, she will still hold her accountable.
"What exactly happened?"
After Tanville finished asking the question, he immediately looked into Bazell's consciousness.
After reading it, he fell silent.
He felt that His Highness might not be able to keep it a secret any longer.
