Chapter 26 It's all that treacherous worm's fault for not telling the truth!
Lanetta's chubby figure sat on the spacious three-seater sofa, taking up almost half of the space.
He stared menacingly at Michelle, who was kneeling in the living room, holding a bloodstained whip in his hand.
He wouldn't have used such an ordinary whip if he wasn't worried about killing Michele in one go.
Sub-females are not as resilient as military females.
If that kind of barbed whip were to be used on a female, she wouldn't even last five lashes before she would die!
No matter how many times he was whipped, he didn't feel relieved!
"Father, please calm down. I feel bad that you have been injured while being punished by me."
Michele looked at Ranetta with teary eyes, her face deathly pale.
He slowly lay down and crawled a few steps closer to Laneta. "I know this has embarrassed Father, but I really didn't do it. His Highness the Second Prince misunderstood me because of his brother, otherwise he wouldn't have embarrassed Father like this, sob sob sob..."
Lanetta was already furious, and hearing Michele admit her mistake didn't calm her down at all.
But when he mentioned "brother," his angry eyes suddenly narrowed. "You're saying that this was done by Letekar?"
Michele nodded repeatedly, then was hit on the head by a cup thrown by Ranetta.
"You dare to lie to me?!"
Lanetta pointed fiercely at Michele, "The security camera caught you sending those two insects, Letecar and Tanchi, to the room! Do you think you can make me believe you with your empty excuses?!"
If he hadn't believed that Michele was misunderstood by Tan Chi and rushed to the palace, would he have been humiliated?
It's all that treacherous bastard's fault for not telling the truth!
"Do you even know what kind of evidence that Tan Chi practically threw in my face?!"
Thinking this, Lanetta raised his whip and lashed Michele a few more times.
Michele clearly didn't expect Raneta to encounter Tan Chi, and even more unexpectedly, Tan Chi directly revealed the truth to Raneta.
He was completely stunned on the spot.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly lowered his head, looking pitiful, and said, "Father, I'm really innocent. It's my brother. He... he said he wasn't feeling well and then asked me to take him there..."
"And what about Tan Chi? Was it Tan Chi who asked you to send him there?!"
Lanetta clearly didn't believe Michele's story, and he flicked the whip in his hand on the ground.
The "slap slap slap" sound made Michelle tremble all over.
But he still insisted, his eyes filled with tears, "My brother said his mental state couldn't hold on any longer. If I didn't help him, he... he would kill me. In that situation, I... I didn't know what to do..."
He stammered through his words, then crawled to Laneta's feet. "Father, it's all my fault. Even if you beat me to death, it would be right. I just never thought I would subject you to such humiliation. It's all my fault, sob sob..."
Ranetta looked at Michele, who was crying with snot running down her face, with a hint of disgust, her brows furrowed tightly.
But it was clear that he had taken his words to heart.
He never really liked Letecar.
Who would have thought that this wretched creature would actually climb into my bed for a little bit of spiritual power?
The male insect that was crawling was interested in his brother!
They've really disgraced the Ranetta family!
Michele saw that although Ranetta was still angry, he was no longer angry at him.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The burning pain in his back amplified his resentment towards Letekar.
He continued, sobbing, "Even if my brother wanted to survive, he shouldn't have embarrassed our father like that. Now it's even involved the royal family. It's really unacceptable..."
Lanetta glanced down at his feet, then kicked Michele aside. "What's the point of saying all this now? Do you think you can salvage the situation?"
It's now a done deal that Letekar will marry Tanchi.
Even if he's really unhappy, he can't bring him back and give him a good beating.
Because once a female insect marries, she becomes the personal property of the male insect and no longer belongs to the original family.
Of course, if the husband's family is not as powerful as the original female insect family, the original family can still target the female insect.
In short, the status of a female insect depends on the status of the male master and the degree to which the male master favors the female insect.
Ranetta naturally wouldn't even consider someone like Michele, who married into a small family, a woman he didn't respect.
Michele knew, of course, that he was now a servant in the Berg family and had lost his usefulness to Lanetta.
But he won't give up so easily.
He forced a smile before saying, "Father, I know what my brother did makes you very angry. If you're still upset, we can teach him a lesson."
Lanetta raised an eyebrow, finally turning her gaze properly back to Michele. "Oh? So, what do you suggest we do?"
Upon hearing this, Michele became even more excited.
“Rettekar thinks that since she married into the royal family, her father can't do anything about it. We can let the public opinion affect the royal family or the second prince, and then… they will definitely use Rettekar as a scapegoat, and then…”
As he finished speaking, he looked at Laneta with a fawning expression, "Then he'll know which family or other insect families he should choose!"
Upon hearing this, Lanetta seemed quite pleased with what Michele had said.
So what if they're royalty?
They still have to rely on the Lanetta family to make a living, don't they?
A mere female soldier trying to escape his control? That's just a pipe dream!
"I'm leaving this matter to you, but..."
Lanetta narrowed his eyes, and Michele immediately assured him, "Father, rest assured, I will absolutely not let the royal family find out that we were the ones who did it."
It's just hiring some online trolls and spreading some rumors.
It's inherently difficult to trace the source of such matters. As long as he's careful, the royal family will definitely not be able to pin anything on him.
Besides, it's a fact that Letekar married Tanchi.
It was common knowledge that Tan Chi had publicly pursued him before.
Hmph! Isn't Lutekar smug?
He immediately lost his smugness!
Soon, various rumors related to Letekar appeared on the StarNet.
[Shocking! Two female nobles sharing one male? A restricted love triangle appears late at night in the Second Prince's mansion]
[Royal Secret! A Major General Offers Himself to the Second Prince, Who Can't Resist the Temptation!]
[A blatant act of betrayal! Major General Letekar interferes in the relationship between the Second Prince and his brother!]
...
Meanwhile, the online trolls, who had already made preparations, were all trying to steer the narrative across the internet.
[Dedeai Lailai: I've heard that the Second Prince's favorite insect was always Michael of the Lanetta family, but now he's married Major General Letecar. There's definitely something fishy going on!]
