Chapter 412 It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.
"My lord, Lord Yuriel, is very worried about my condition. He wants me to rest at home for a few days. Major General, could you... grant me a few days' leave?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "my lord Uriel," as if afraid that Letekar might disagree.
To everyone's surprise, Letekar showed no doubt whatsoever, and without even a moment's hesitation, immediately agreed, "Okay. You're granted a three-day vacation."
Lutekar was almost certain that the Mien before him was not the same Mien he knew.
The real Mien's mental state was not only perfectly fine, but even if there were problems, he had already returned to the military for treatment.
He would never use the male insect's command as the primary reason for requesting leave.
This excuse is really clumsy and incongruous.
Michele seemed not to have expected that he would be so easily fooled by Letecar.
The insect instantly perked up, "Really? Thank you, Major General, I'll definitely get some rest..."
Letkar nodded. "Well, you don't need to follow up on the task I gave you before. I'll hand it over to the other insects. You should stay home and focus on your treatment."
His tone remained completely calm, which put Michele at ease.
He had been thinking about how to subtly find out the details of the mission, but he never expected that the idiot Letkar would stop him from doing it.
Ha! How stupid!
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Major General. I will."
"Um."
After saying this, Letekar abruptly ended the communication.
As Michelle listened to the busy signal on the personal terminal, a smug smile crept onto her lips. She then smugly lay back down on the soft bed.
Ha, so what if he's a genius major general of the empire? He's nothing special.
He couldn't even detect that his own subordinates had been replaced.
That's it? A major general? Tsk tsk...
If he had known that possessing another insect would be so easy to fool, he would have slit his own throat long ago.
Why did I have to suffer so much before?
He waved to the insect servant beside him and said, "Bring me some natural food, the freshest of all! Oh, and juice and other desserts too."
He had heard before that Letecar had eaten it.
There must be families of the Graham family's caliber, right?
Without any hesitation, the servant agreed in a low voice and left the room.
Michele was now feeling a bit unbalanced.
I never expected that a good-for-nothing like Mien would receive such good treatment in the Graham family.
What a waste!
After a while, the door was opened again, but this time it was not the servant insect that entered, but the mechanical insect.
It quickly placed various colorful and insect-attracting natural foods on the bedside table.
Michael glanced at the mechanical insects, then focused all his attention on the natural food.
Even when he was the Insect King in his previous life, he had never been this extravagant.
As Michael enjoyed his meal, he was completely unaware that the electronic screen of the mechanical insect delivering the food was silently watching everything he was doing.

Military headquarters, Tan Chi's office.
He was discussing the arrangements within the palace with Eli when he heard a knock on the door.
Tan Chi and Eli looked towards the doorway almost simultaneously, and then they saw Letekar enter.
Because the situation was too chaotic these past few days, Eli let Cano stay at the palace.
The office that Tan Chi and Kano used to share now only has Tan Chi left.
“My Lord, Prince Eli.” Letkar nodded to the two insects before closing the door and entering.
Tan Chi looked at the unusually serious expression on Letekar's face and instantly seemed to realize something.
Tan Chi spoke first, "Have you discovered the possessed insect?"
Letekar nodded. "It's not completely certain yet, but it's pretty much him."
At this point, he recounted what had happened after he contacted Mien.
Eli gasped upon hearing this, "So now it's almost certain that Mien is possessed."
Letekar nodded and continued calmly, "I told him to find Yuriel and hand Had over to the state. But during the video call just now, he completely forgot about that task."
Eli sighed, "He's the first person to use the mental sea as an excuse to ask for leave."
The first lesson any female soldier learns upon arriving at the military headquarters is to endure the pain that comes with a broken spirit.
He's not just drastically changed in personality now, he doesn't even resemble a female soldier anymore.
The only reasonable explanation now is that he was possessed.
Tan Chi didn't expect to find the insect possessed by Michele so quickly.
I wonder if Yuriel knows that the insects in his house are no longer his.
Tan Chi felt a headache coming on when he thought of Yuriel's crazy and obsessive nature.
Eli pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Why did Michael choose to possess Mien? Given his personality, shouldn't he have possessed any one of us? Or perhaps..."
The current Insect Emperor?
Isn't that closer to his status in his previous life?
His words instantly drew the attention of both Tan Chi and Letekar, the two insects.
Then the three insects fell silent.
After a moment, it was Letekar who spoke first.
"Is it possible... that it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't?"
Based on his understanding of Michael, if given the opportunity to possess him, Eli, or the Insect King, he would definitely do so immediately.
His decision to settle for second best was certainly not because he didn't resemble the body, but because there was some limitation that prevented him from freely choosing a body to possess.
Tan Chi also agreed with Letekar's idea, "It seems that Mien may meet some conditions that we do not know."
Eli frowned, thinking that it was Mien who was possessed, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
The mad bug in the Graham family seemed to care a lot about the female bug in his house. Michaela possessed him directly, and it was fortunate that she wasn't discovered.
If he's discovered... he'll face a fate worse than death.
Seeing that neither Tan Chi nor Eli remained silent, Letekar continued, "I have already deployed the Graham family's guard mechanical insects to monitor Michael. I hope he doesn't cause any trouble."
Eli narrowed his eyes. "In that case, let's hold back for now and see what he's planning next, then we can inform Yuriel and let him know..."
However, just as he was about to utter the name "Michele" so that Yuriel would also know the truth, Eli suddenly found his voice abruptly cut off.
His lips opened and closed in vain, but no sound came out, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat, blocking all sound.
