There's no need to overthink Chapter 23!
As Tan Chi was thinking, a hand landed on his shoulder.
He turned around and met Eli's apologetic gaze. "I didn't realize you'd done so much for the future of the royal family. No wonder you were so close to that submissive woman from Lanetta before. You've really worked hard researching the growth of vegetables and fruits..."
Tan Chi: "..."
There's no need to overthink it!
The Insect King seemed to have never expected that his son, whom he had never held any hope for, would be so devoted to the royal family.
In order to ensure the long-term development of the royal family, they even endured hardship and bided their time.
If he hadn't met the female insect he liked, how much suffering he would have endured!
Tan Chi's gaze towards the Insect King and the Crown Prince grew increasingly strange, and he subconsciously reached out and grasped Letekar's hand.
Unexpectedly, Ludwig's gaze towards him seemed to have become much more profound.
No, what are they all imagining?
The original owner was really courting death!
The idea of enduring hardship and biding one's time is completely fabricated.
Tan Chi wanted to explain, but none of them seemed inclined to listen.
He could only purse his lips and force a smile.
Okay, feel free to imagine whatever you want.
He couldn't say that he wasn't the original owner of this body.
As a result, Tan Chi, who was already favored by the royal family, was stuffed with a lot of good things by the Insect King and the First Prince, and only then did he stop.
...
Because Michele had been hiding at the Berg's house, not only did Lanetta, who wanted to punish him, fail to do so.
Even the promise Tan Chi made to Leo Berg to marry Michele as his maid was not fulfilled.
However, ever since Tan Chi went to the palace, the royal family has made this matter their top priority.
Especially the confidants of the eldest prince, Eli.
Knowing that the male member of the royal family had lowered himself to feign compliance with the sub-female members of the Lanetta family for the sake of the royal family's survival.
Even their poor male insect prince was drugged!
But this damned sub-female hasn't been punished yet!
How can this be allowed?
Thus, through the machinations of Eli's confidants, Michele was practically dragged away from the Berg family by the female soldier.
Leo Berg originally wanted to complain to the Insect King, but before he could even speak, they told him that if he didn't want to marry Michele, they would send him to another family to be a female servant.
Leo certainly didn't want Michele to marry another insect.
Besides, he had always liked Michelle, but he was afraid of Tan Chi, so he had never been able to get what he wanted.
Now that Tan Chi has brought this upon himself, he's naturally happy to marry Michelle back.
However, Michelle had been crying in his presence for the past two days, which softened his heart.
He said he had no ulterior motives towards Tan Chi. If other insects knew that he married into the family for this reason, his reputation would be impossible to clear.
That would also have a negative impact on the Berg family.
Leo was heartbroken and naturally went along with him. Who knew that the royal family would send a female soldier to drag Michele away?
In a moment of impulsiveness, Leo took Michele to the registration office, filled out a form for a female servant, and then returned.
He did want to give Michele a position as a queen.
But those damned female soldiers said they were carrying out Lord Tan Chi's orders.
He certainly couldn't defy the royal family, so he could only give Michele a position as a maid.
"Waaaaah..."
Michael was crying particularly miserably beside him, and Leo felt sorry for him, so he hugged him and patted him comfortingly.
The female soldier standing nearby couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Lord Leo, it seems Lord Tan Chi was right. Michele really doesn't want to marry you, otherwise she wouldn't have cried so much..."
Michele: "..."
He really will thank you.
Ever since Letekar was taken away by Tan Chi, nothing has gone right for him.
He initially thought that Tan Chi was just angry with him, and that after these few days, he would definitely regret marrying him off to Leo.
He only needs to pretend that he is heartbroken, and then he can take the opportunity to make some demands.
But what's the situation now?
Tan Chi not only did not cancel his engagement with Leo, but even had a royal military officer take him to register the marriage.
Has Tan Chi really given up on him?
impossible!
Tan Chi has spent a lot of time and money on him over the years, how could he just give up now?
Moreover, he knew that Tan Chi had problems in that area.
He once mentioned that he only focuses on emotional needs when looking for a future partner, and doesn't care about anything else.
He had seen the emotion in Tan Chi's eyes at that time.
So where does the problem lie?
Is it Ludwig Ludwig?
Before Michelle could even think further, the pain in her wrist pulled her back to reality.
He looked at Leo, and then saw him staring intently at him.
Michelle thought of what the female soldier had just said and wished she could rush up and slap him twice right now!
He immediately put on a pitiful look and looked at Leo, "Is that what you think of me, Lord Leo? You know perfectly well... I, I just suffered such a great humiliation, can't I even cry?"
As he spoke, he immediately turned his head, revealing his fair neck, looking both fragile and stubborn.
Like a small white flower easily destroyed in the wind, standing alone in the world.
Michaela knows what kind of appearance attracts male insects the most, and she also knows how to make herself look the most beautiful.
To his surprise, Leo merely glanced at him before saying in a chilling voice, "You think marrying me is an insult?"
Michele: "???"
No, why did Leo become like this too?
He almost couldn't shake off his disgusted expression, but thankfully he quickly lowered his head, looking quite aggrieved, and said, "Lord Leo, you know I'm not... I said before, I..."
"So, are you willing to marry me or not?" Before Michele could even utter her excuse, Leo stared at him coldly.
He was, after all, a male insect. Even though he had been following Michael for so long, he was still a male insect.
Having enjoyed the benefits of society since childhood, they simply don't care about a female insect's true thoughts.
They care more about their own face.
How much of their previous following of Michele was out of affection, and how much was simply a desire to compete with the royal male insect?
Even Leo himself probably couldn't explain it clearly.
Now that Michele has become his female insect, all of this is a done deal.
So when other insects mentioned that their female insects didn't like him, and even disliked marrying him.
No male insect could accept that!
Michele visibly trembled. "No, I'm willing, I'm very willing, Your Excellency Leo."
He kept his head down, his hands clenched so tightly behind his back that his palms looked like they were about to burst.
How could he possibly agree to that?
He's from the Lanetta family. How could a mere Berg family be worthy of him?
But he can't say that now. If he wants to leave, he has no choice but to obey Leo.
As Michelle thought this, she seemed to remember something and looked up at Leo...
