Chapter 54: Both Male and Female Scoundrels!
Eli could make 800 tiny movements per second as he watched Michele run past.
His lips twitched involuntarily. Was this the reason why he could win the favor of male insects?
No, he can't learn a single thing!
Fortunately, Letekar seems to know how to win over male insects. Judging from how his brother is completely infatuated with him, Letekar is much more capable than Michael!
When he has free time, it would be more reliable for him to consult Letecar.
As Eli thought this, he turned his gaze to the two insects in front of him.
Timothy initially felt a little sorry for Michelle as she cried her eyes out.
But when he met Eli's emotionless eyes, he immediately pushed the submissive woman in his arms away.
"Eli, please don't misunderstand, Michele and I aren't what you think!"
Michele suddenly lost her support and almost fell to the ground.
He almost lost his delicate and fragile expression.
Fortunately, he had extensive performance experience, so even when the situation was unfavorable to him, he quickly recovered.
“Your Highness Eli, Lord Garwan only came to Laneta temporarily to see my father. Please don’t misunderstand. If you have any complaints, please take them out on me…”
“Since it was Lord Garwan who came to see Lord Lanetta alone, he must also be involved in this drugging incident.”
As Eli said this, his gaze swept lightly over Timothy, and he said, word by word, "I would be grateful if Your Excellency Garwan would have to stay at the Lanetta residence for the time being until the matter is fully investigated."
Timothy was completely stunned.
He never expected that he would become a suspect just because he came to deliver grapes to Lanetta.
Lanetta is different now than before; he is now among the most aristocratic of all!
Although he had nothing to do with this matter, his visit to the Lanetta family was not legitimate.
If he tells the truth, he won't be able to explain it to Eli.
If he doesn't tell the truth, he might be made a scapegoat for what happened to the Lanetta family.
Timothy was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
Thinking this, he looked directly at Eli with pleading eyes, "Your Highness, I really have nothing to do with this. Believe me, my original plan today was to go to the palace. If it weren't for Lord Tan Chi, I should still be at the palace..."
Timothy tried his best to explain and convince Eli.
Clearly, Eli listened.
“Lord Garwan is right, your leaving the palace was an accident,” he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Timothy, “Then why are you here?”
Timothy: "..."
He regrets it now!
If he had known Eli would come, if he had known this mess would happen to the Lanetta family, he would never have come!
But it's too late now!
Timothy could only grit his teeth and explain to Eli, "I...I came here...to see Lord Ranetta about something..."
Eli neither said he believed nor disbelieved. He simply looked at Timothy and said calmly, "In that case, let's have a proper talk when Lord Ranetta wakes up."
As he spoke, he turned to leave, but Michele stopped him.
"Your Highness Eli! Please wait!"
He gave Timothy a deep look before turning directly to Eli. "Actually... actually, I tricked Lord Timothy into coming here. I need to speak with him, but I haven't been feeling well lately, so I had to use my status as his father to invite him over..."
Timothy was surprised that Michele would stand up for him at this time, especially by defending his innocence.
This made Timothy feel a pang of guilt.
He actually pushed Eli away right in front of him! That was really wrong of him!
Michele is such a kind female insect, she should be cherished and pampered by other insects!
After he marries Eli, he will definitely make good use of his resources to make it up to him!
Timothy's gaze towards Michelle was full of love, which made Michelle, who was secretly looking back, shyly look away.
If Eli hadn't been reminded by Tan Chi beforehand, he probably wouldn't have noticed the expressions on the two insects' faces.
For him, finding a male insect to marry was merely a way to balance the relationship between the nobility and the royal family.
He only wanted to find a family of low status to prevent the male insects from using their family's power to usurp the royal family's authority.
Therefore, a family like the Timothy's, which has produced generals but lacks power and influence internally, is a good fit.
In addition, Timothy's personality is quite acceptable, which is why Eli put him on the review list.
But now that they seem to be mutually attracted, what else could he not understand?
If he doesn't understand, he'll become a caterpillar!
Eli narrowed his eyes, then began to sob and plead, "Your Highness Eli, please don't blame Lord Timothy, it's all my fault, waaaaah..."
Eli nodded solemnly, "You're absolutely right. As a female insect that has already married a male insect, what you're doing is indeed hard to explain. However, the person you should complain to is not me, but your male master, Lord Berg."
When Michele heard the words "Lord Berg," he stiffened for a moment.
Then she listened as Eli continued slowly and deliberately, "Or do you feel embarrassed to tell him and need me to help you tell him?"
Michele shook her head without even thinking, "No, it's not."
Tears still clung to the corners of his eyes, and with this shake of his head, the tears fell like raindrops.
She certainly looked pitiful.
It's a pity, he's a female soldier, so I can't feel any pity for him.
Especially that green tea-like sub-female, ugh!
Eli rolled his eyes so hard they were practically blind.
What sins did he commit to deserve staying here to watch this scumbag's performance?
No, they're two scumbags!
Both male and female scumbags!
"Also, you just misspoke. Lord Garwan has no relation to me. We are only in contact. Since he has a favorite female insect, I naturally wouldn't be so tactless."
Eli twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced smile. "Besides, it's not just the Galwan family that wants to go on a blind date with me."
Timothy was thunderstruck when he heard this.
He had always felt that Eli's recent special treatment of him meant that he liked him.
How did things turn out like this?
Timothy stared at Eli in disbelief, as if trying to find a clue in his face, but he couldn't see anything.
“Eli…”
He was clearly flustered, and even his voice lacked confidence when he called out to him.
Eli merely glanced at him indifferently. "Lord Garwan, you should stay at the Lanetta residence. Once the investigation is complete, I will arrange for insects to escort you back."
After saying this, he left without giving Timothy any chance to speak.
Eli was only thinking about not letting Laneta's affairs taint Tan Chi's eyes, completely forgetting that Letekar might also be poisoned.
He's an S-class female soldier! If he really gets carried away, he suddenly felt a little worried about Tan Chi's small frame...
