Chapter 397 Michele has indeed been reborn!
"Marry Acosta?" Timothy frowned slightly, his expression revealing a complex mix of emotions.
If it weren't for his good acting skills, he almost would have rolled his eyes.
“Isn’t Mien now the rightful matriarch of the Graham family? And… isn’t Lord Acosta also a traitor to the Graham family?”
Is this old man out of his mind to marry the patriarch's female queen to another male insect in the family?
Lanetta, completely oblivious to Timothy's expression, said smugly, "So what if they're all bugs of the Graham family? As long as Lord Acosta is happy, what can the other bugs say?"
Roronoa's lips twitched; he was about to curse.
So what if Acosta likes it?
Mien is the matriarch of their family, and he wants to marry her.
What can he offer to marry her? His life?
Even a space pirate like him knew that the most untouchable male insect in the entire aristocratic circle was the head of the Graham family.
Although he rarely went out, his reputation for madness was widespread.
Timothy knew that male insects were all self-important, and getting him to realize that his decision was wrong was harder than climbing to heaven.
So he thought for a moment, then asked, "How did you know that Lord Yuriel might not live much longer?"
Timothy had felt this spot was strange from the beginning.
The Empire's technology is now very advanced, and most insects, except during their mating season, are almost free of disease.
Even if you are injured, you can recover completely after just one night in the medical pod.
How did Larnetta become so certain that Yuriel would die young?
Although he already had a conclusion in his mind, he still wanted to verify it.
Lanetta raised an eyebrow. "Of course, it was Michael who said it. He, Yuriel, won't live much longer, and it's only recently... In short, having Mien follow Acosta is the best choice for our Lanetta family!"
Michele said that Acosta is the future head of the Graham family.
Now that Mien has returned early to cultivate a relationship with Lord Acosta, everything will fall into place naturally.
Michele?!
Roronoa and Timothy exchanged a shocked look.
They both saw the same chill in each other's eyes.
Michele has indeed been reborn!
And after his rebirth, the first thing he did was go to Acosta?!
A surge of resentment at being abandoned instantly overwhelmed the two insects.
So they were abandoned from the very beginning, right?
Michele abandoned them!
Roronoa gritted his teeth. Michael knew perfectly well that they were suffering under Lanetta's rule, yet he still wanted to use the Lanetta family to pave the way for his new overlord.
A hint of coldness flashed in Timothy's eyes, but his smile became even gentler.
He gently massaged Raneta's shoulders and slowly began to speak, "Your Excellency, Michele did indeed contribute a lot to the family before, but..."
He hesitated, waiting to see Lanetta's reaction.
As expected, upon hearing Timothy's words, Lanetta immediately pressed for an answer: "But what?"
Timothy pursed his lips. "But... don't you think there's something wrong with a lot of Michele's ideas lately? The Lanetta family was so glorious under your leadership, and now..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning he wanted to express was quite clear.
That's because their Larnetta isn't as glorious as before, and it's all Michele's fault.
His words led Ranetta to believe that the Ranetta family's great success was all because of him.
Lanetta was an extremely confident male insect.
He naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with Timothy saying that.
Because he believed that the rise of the Lanetta family was all thanks to him as the head of the family.
So when he heard Timothy's next words, his brows furrowed.
Seeing that he had fallen for it, Timothy continued to sow discord between him and Lanetta, "For example, this time, rashly bringing Mien back and wanting him to remarry Acosta is simply putting the Lanetta family in a very difficult position!"
Roronoa chimed in, "Yes, what if Lord Yuriel doesn't turn out as Michael says, and Lord Acosta fails to take the throne? Wouldn't we be offending the current head of the Graham family?"
Lanetta frowned but didn't say anything.
But it was clear that he had taken Roronoa's words to heart.
Seeing this, Timothy pressed on, "Sir, think about it, Mien is still mediating in the Graham family. If you forcibly bring him back, wouldn't you be cutting off your own arm?"
“Yes, even if Lord Yuriel is really gone, and Lord Acosta successfully takes over, it's not too late to send Mien over then.”
Roronoa crossed his arms and joined in the analysis.
"Acting rashly now will only provoke Yuriel, who is capable of anything given his madness."
The two insects, speaking in unison, seemed to be considering the interests of the Lanetta family, but in reality, they were directing all suspicion and criticism towards Michele.
As Lanetta listened, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Although he was selfish and foolish, he also valued his life and feared trouble.
Lanetta thought about what they said carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
He had personally experienced Yuriel's madness today.
He merely sent a message, and Yuriel immediately spewed insects at him.
He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to face him...
Lanetta couldn't help but swallow hard.
If that madman doesn't actually die, he'll be the one in trouble!
What terrible idea did Michele come up with?
“What you’re saying makes some sense.” Lanetta nodded hesitantly, the confusion in his eyes gradually replaced by suspicion. “Michael has been acting a bit strange lately.”
Seeing him waver, Timothy and Roronoa sneered inwardly, but became even more attentive on the surface.
"Your Excellency is so wise and powerful, you must have seen through Michael's scheme long ago, but you just wanted to take this opportunity to see if we could see it too."
"Yes, Lord Lanetta has always been so wise; he will surely make the best decision!"
The two insects then poured him more nectar, showering him with compliments as if they were free.
They quickly made Lanetta feel incredibly proud of himself.
Amidst flattery of "brilliant and wise" and "talented and handsome," Ranetta, in a daze, handed over several businesses that were originally handled by Michele to Timothy and Roronoa for management.
With the deal settled, Ranetta looked at the two "confidantes" beside him, and his mind started to wander again.
His eyes changed, and he reached out to grab the two insects.
A flash of disgust crossed Timothy's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged.
He picked up the cup of honey water with a special ingredient again and said softly, "Your Excellency, you were upset just now. Drink some more honey water to calm your nerves."
Lanetta, unsuspecting, took the rest of the glass from his hand and drank it all in one gulp...
