Chapter 209 Was I afraid of him? I was afraid of you!
If Simon had investigated even a little, he would have known that Cano was not someone to mess with.
Of course, if he were brain-dead and didn't investigate at all, Hines' methods would definitely be enough to give him a hard time.
Tan Chi's lips curled up slightly. As long as it was the Second Legion's insects who were unlucky, what did it have to do with him?
...
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace.
The Insect King looked quietly at Eli, his eyebrows slightly raised. "You mean, Achi and his female ruler have gone on a trip to the planet Tadir with a mechanical insect?"
He couldn't help but raise his hand to press his temples; he had a very negative impression of the word "travel."
His lord went on a trip and never returned.
Therefore, he disliked hearing news of Tan Chi's travels from Eli.
His little male is usually incredibly spoiled and has no desire to leave the empire for any planet.
How can he be at ease knowing that he's only taking one female soldier and one mechanical insect with him?
Elijah was a few years older than Tan Chi, so he naturally knew what the Insect King was worried about.
He trusted Leterkar quite a bit, and if even he couldn't protect Tan Chi, he felt that no other insect could protect him.
Eli thought this and said it, "Although Achi only has one insect, Letkar, by his side, the combat power of one insect is definitely comparable to a whole squad of personal guards, so Father doesn't need to worry."
His words only made the Insect King more worried.
"That was the old Letekar. He's lost his memory now. Do you really expect him to protect Aschi?!"
The Insect King frowned repeatedly. "Either you call him back, or you send some more insects to protect him."
He can no longer accept the possibility of his son getting into another accident.
The insect king took a deep breath, and the whole insect looked very agitated.
Eli curled his lip. "Father, actually I had this concern at first, so the day before they went on their trip, I specifically called Letekar to the military headquarters to see how much his combat skills had recovered."
Upon hearing this, the Insect King raised an eyebrow again. "And the result?"
"The result... of course, was still at his peak. Otherwise, how could I have let him take Achi alone? Achi is also my brother. Even if I trust other insects, I can't trust him to mess around with just one insect."
Eli couldn't help but sigh; at that moment, he was even more worried than the Insect King.
Let alone adding a few more insects for protection, he even considered sending his entire personal guard to him.
He pleaded and begged for a whole day, and then Letekar offered to test how much of his fighting talent he still had left.
This test turned out to be quite significant; his S-rank Major General status returned!
It can be said that aside from amnesia, Ludkael possessed almost everything else he should know.
That's why he felt at ease letting Letkar go on a trip to Tadir with the two insects, Tanchi and Letekar.
The Insect King opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately sighed.
"Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
He waved his hand, and the whole insect looked somewhat dejected.
Looking at the insect king's expression, Eli knew that he must have been thinking of their father again.
He didn't actually have a deep impression of his male father. Maybe he was too young when his male father left them, or... he was too busy studying at the time and didn't have the chance to see his male father and female father.
Hmm? Why can't we see the female father either?
Eli raised his hand and pressed his temples, feeling that something was off.
He doesn't have many memories of his male father from his childhood, nor do he have many memories of his female father.
He was surrounded by servants.
Eli assumed that the Insect King was too busy with work at the time and didn't have time to pay attention to him, the little insect.
He's already incredibly busy as the Crown Prince, so his father, who was already the Insect Emperor at the time, must have been even busier.
Eli quickly shook off the strange feeling and continued, "Father, I might need your help with a small matter for this asteroid auction."
His voice interrupted the insect king's deep thoughts.
"What small favor?" Hearing Eli's words, he knew it couldn't be a small favor.
Eli chuckled and then said, "I remember the female father has a private spaceship. Could you lend it to your son for a few days?"
The Insect King's lips twitched, and he looked at Eli speechlessly. "What? Are you so poor that you have to use your female father's spaceship now? I remember you made a fortune selling natural food recently."
Even the treatment within the entire palace was elevated by more than one level.
The disparity in military equipment between the First and Second Legions was obvious; otherwise, the Second Legion wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bid for that asteroid at the auction.
Eli gave a slightly embarrassed twitch of his lips. "That's not the plan I recently had with Achi and the others. It's caused Achi and I to be under close surveillance. Now, whenever I go out, I'm constantly being watched, and I can't properly see Kano, so..."
Insect Emperor: "..."
The stench of this romance could practically be thrown in his face.
The Insect King wanted to roll his eyes. He never expected that his son, who previously thought that marrying a male insect would affect his combat speed, would now need to use his father's spaceship just to see that little male insect.
He looked at Eli speechlessly, "I'll lend it to you, but... you better watch yourself, don't get me some little bug baby before the engagement ceremony even starts."
Eli's face turned red instantly upon hearing the Insect King's words.
He and the little male insect haven't reached that point yet.
If he really manages to take down the little male, I'll have to go with him to register our marriage the next day!
Eli coughed lightly. "Father, don't treat Lord Cano like some kind of insect. He certainly wouldn't do that."
The Insect King's lips twitched. "Was I afraid of him? I was afraid of you!"
That little male, Kano, doesn't seem to have much of a mind of his own.
Although he didn't know how the Reeves family raised insects, if this kind of insect fell into the hands of his family's insect and wasn't completely devoured, then the insect definitely hadn't been fully bound to him yet.
Once he can completely bind him, he's confident that this little male insect will absolutely... not be able to escape.
He couldn't help but sigh, glanced at Eli, and then instructed, "If you think it's about time, go register it first. That way, even if you find insect eggs, you can tell others, understand?"
Eli rubbed his nose a little awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed by what the Insect King had said.
He hadn't really thought that much about it before, but then his female father said that.
He suddenly realized that if the little male insect took the initiative, he might very well be unable to resist and eat the insect completely.
This is indeed a bit dangerous; we need to finalize things with the male insect as soon as possible!
