Chapter 372 How did you get these things?
"There are no powerful rulers in the original book, so it has no meaning for me."
He knew very well what kind of ending he would have in the "original book" that Tan Chi spoke of, given his personality.
Unlike typical female insects, he doesn't have such rich emotions.
His numb reactions have made him unpopular with male insects since childhood.
If it were the original Tan Chi who was obsessed with Michele, he would probably only face endless torment and humiliation.
Lutecal could endure everything else, but he could not bear a single day without a powerful ruler.
An insect that has never seen light will not yearn for it, but when it does see it, it is warmed by the light.
Therefore, Ludlgard resisted hearing about a world without a ruler, and even just thinking about that possibility made it hard for him to accept!
Although Lettkar didn't say these words aloud, he was filled with an indescribable sense of frustration.
Tan Chi felt a sudden pang in his heart when he saw Letekar like this.
He immediately reached out and pulled Letekar tightly into his arms, his gentle lips lightly brushing against the crook of Letekar's neck.
"Baby, whether it's the original book or now, you're mine. And you can only be mine from now on, understand?"
Tan Chi's voice rang in Letekar's ears, his warm breath brushing against his earlobe, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"No one can change that, not even a tattered book."
Letekar's pent-up frustration gradually subsided in Tan Chi's warm embrace.
An indescribable emotion welled up inside me.
He suddenly raised his head and kissed Tan Chi's lips, but they quickly separated.
His long arm encircled Tan Chi's neck, bringing his forehead close to Tan Chi's. His icy blue eyes shone brightly as he looked at Tan Chi. "Yes! I want to be with you, my lord, for all eternity!"
Tan Chi chuckled softly and responded with an even deeper and longer kiss.
The sweet aroma of pomegranate juice wafted through the air, quietly filling the entire room.

Meanwhile, Aaron also returned to the Thomas family.
He went straight to Hader's study without even changing his clothes.
"Knock knock knock!"
Aaron knocked cautiously on the door. "My Lord, it's me."
After he finished speaking, we heard the word "enter".
Aaron pushed open the study door and saw that only an antique desk lamp was lit inside, so he immediately lowered his head.
The room was bathed in a soft orange light, casting a shadow over Hader's profile.
Aaron walked silently to the large desk, bowed slightly, and became increasingly respectful.
He knew that Had was in a bad mood, and if he made even the slightest mistake, he would be punished by the male insect.
"My lord, the investigation into the incident of the Crown Prince being drugged at his engagement banquet, which you requested, has yielded results."
Only after Aaron finished speaking did Hadd finally react.
He looked up at Aaron, stared at him for a few seconds, and then slowly asked, "Is it Michael?"
Aaron shook his head. "It's not Michaela."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet study.
Hader's brow furrowed immediately, and he tapped his fingertips impatiently on the smooth tabletop. "Not him? Then who is it?"
His voice carried a clear doubt, as if he disagreed with Aaron's findings.
Aaron remained expressionless and took a document from his pocket, placing it in front of Had.
"According to the investigation, on that day, some insects planned to drug other families' insects in order to create a scandal and make it easier for them to blackmail others."
Aaron spoke at a measured pace, "However, the servant insect responsible for delivering the nectar water accidentally mixed up the cups, and by a twist of fate, the wine ended up in yours. As for Michele..."
He paused, then continued, "He did indeed wander in by mistake; the evidence at the scene matches his testimony."
Hader glanced at the document but didn't reach out to turn the pages.
He simply stared silently at Aaron's face, as if trying to discern whether his words were true or false.
Aaron lowered his eyelids, his posture submissive, allowing Had to scrutinize him.
But his heart remained cold.
He knew this powerful ruler all too well: suspicious and arrogant.
No matter what outcome he produces, he will be judged in this way.
When he first met Hader, he only wanted to explain and try to convince him.
But what Hader cared about was never the result.
He just wanted to tame him, nothing more.
After a moment, Had looked away, seemingly accepting the explanation for the time being.
However, he quickly raised another question, "How did you obtain these things? With your status, aren't you afraid of being spotted by the royal guards if you conduct a private investigation?"
The surveillance footage of the engagement banquet at the palace is not something anyone can access, especially since the Thomas family's insects are originally opposed to the royal family.
He shouldn't dare to investigate royal family matters so openly. Could it be that Aaron developed other forces without his knowledge?
Hader spoke slowly and deliberately, but with a deeper undercurrent of probing.
He knew perfectly well that investigating this matter was risky, yet he still sent him, clearly to test Aaron's obedience.
Whether Michele administered the drug or not is irrelevant.
He wouldn't care about this matter just because he's a member of the Lanetta family.
If the investigation reveals that Michele was responsible for this, it will only give him more leverage.
It's a pity it wasn't made by Michele.
Upon hearing this, Aaron's heart sank, but his face remained calm. "I dare not hide it from you, Your Highness. When I went to the First Military Headquarters today, I saw that His Highness the First Prince was troubled by what happened to the Graham family. He seemed to have no interest in such a trivial matter. So I dared to ask Your Highness to allow me to view the surveillance footage of the banquet hall that day, on the grounds that Your Highness lost a personal item at the banquet."
When he said this, his tone even carried a perfectly appropriate hint of humility.
Aaron's half-truthful statement was flawless.
He knew that what Hader wanted was not the truth, but a plausible explanation that would demonstrate his absolute control.
Sure enough, when Had heard this, his tense expression finally relaxed.
A barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.
It seems that Hader is quite satisfied with the answer.
He narrowed his eyes, then looked at Aaron again and asked, "Have you been keeping an eye on Michael's movements lately?"
Aaron immediately lowered his head and answered without hesitation, "Without the Lord's explicit order, I dare not investigate anything related to the Lord."
This statement completely pleased Hader.
A faint smile even appeared on his face. "Yes, very well done."
Hader continued solemnly, "You know the Thomas family's current situation. If it weren't for the military and the stipends from women in the military, the entire family would probably be nothing but an empty shell..."
