Chapter 125 Does Letekar want to monopolize Tan Chi?
After having this idea, the insects couldn't wait to head towards Eli's direction.
"Your Highness, the First Prince!"
"Your Highness Eli!"
...
Eli was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the swarm of insects, and he frowned as he asked, "What happened?"
This was a birthday celebration for his younger brother, and he didn't want any insects to ruin his hard work.
Upon seeing this, one of the insects immediately spoke up, "Your Highness Eli, isn't the Second Prince the most esteemed male insect in our empire?"
Eli: "???"
He stared blankly at the insect that had spoken.
If he remembered correctly, these insects in front of him seemed to belong to some of the more powerful female insect families in the imperial aristocracy.
And they are all sub-female.
After all, most of the female soldiers are now serving in the First Army Corps.
Only a few female military officers with military ranks had time to attend the banquet.
Logically speaking, these sub-females would never be brought to the palace banquet unless they were exceptionally favored at home.
So he understood almost instantly what these families were up to behind the scenes.
As Eli thought this, his expression naturally wasn't much better.
Seeing that Eli didn't speak, the other female insects assumed that Eli had overheard what they were saying, and they became even more eager.
"Your Highness, how could such an outstanding male insect like the Second Prince only want one female? It must be Major General Letkar who has bewitched the Second Prince. You must help him keep his eyes open!"
"That's right! His Highness the Second Prince is the only male in the royal family. It wouldn't be unreasonable to let him participate in the imperial nobility selection!"
"Major General Letekar has actually harbored thoughts of monopolizing His Highness the Second Prince; this is simply unforgivable!"
...
Eli's temples throbbed as he listened to their indignant words.
Does Luther Carr want to monopolize Tan Chi?
hehe!
Don't even mention him, every female insect wants to monopolize the male!
Are they not monopolizing males because they don't want to?
Eli couldn't help but roll his eyes. "My brother has always been a man of his own mind. He already said on the StarNet that he only wants one female insect, so he definitely won't want any other females..."
"Your Highness, please reconsider!"
Suddenly, the female insect who had spoken first spoke again, "We insects are the female insects of several noble families in the empire. Your Highness should know best what interests we represent, right?"
Eli: "..."
So this is a direct attempt to force him to marry his brother?
Oh!
Who do you think you are?!
His expression was very calm, and he said in a tone that was almost flat, "Since you've put it that way, what benefits can you bring me?"
Upon hearing this, the female insect thought that his words had worked, and she became quite smug.
"Our families own considerable businesses within the empire, so supporting the royal army isn't out of the question..."
Eli's lips slowly curved into a faint smile, but the smile never reached his eyes.
He looked at the female insects in front of him and spoke again in a cool tone, "Oh? How much do you support the royal family each year? I need to see the sincerity of your various families, right?"
“Our three families are willing to support the royal family with 100 million star coins every year, with each family contributing 100 million star coins.”
The leading female insect spoke confidently.
As far as he knew, the Lanetta family had previously gained their status in aristocratic circles by supporting the royal family.
However, they are not as good at business as the Lanetta family, so 100 million Star Coins a year is not a small amount for them.
Besides, all they want is to marry the Second Prince. With this support, they can get 300 million star coins every year. The royal family will definitely agree.
Eli suddenly gave a cold laugh, as if he had heard a funny joke.
This left the three female insects somewhat bewildered.
Is 300 million Star Coins not enough?
Eli could tell what the three female insects were thinking just by looking at them.
He scoffed and pointed to the rows of fruits and various cooked natural foods that had been brought in behind them, saying, "See? Just what you see here is worth far more than three hundred million..."
The insects: "!!!"
They could hardly believe their eyes, especially when they saw that pile of fruit and natural food displayed so openly on the table not far away; their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Even the royal family of the past had never seen such a grand gesture.
Has the royal family struck it rich?
Eli was pleased with their reaction.
It's just money, isn't it?
They have plenty of royalty now!
He still wants to use money to control his brother?
Just kidding, even if he were asked to marry into a noble family, he wouldn't send his brother away!
His younger brother, such a well-behaved and adorable male insect, might very well be bullied by these wicked nobles!
snort!
Want to buy his brother? Dream on!
Clearly, the other nobles were also surprised by the royal family's extravagant spending this time, and they were all astonished by the pile of fruits and natural foods in front of them.
They all started gossiping and chattering away.
Just then, Eli saw the little male insect that had just entered the banquet hall.
Eli nodded to the three female insects in front of him, then headed straight for Kano.
However, before he could reach the little male insect, he was stopped by a female insect.
And the female insect's appearance... clearly indicated she was alluring.
Unlike his tough, hard female soldiers, she was a sub-female.
Eli didn't think much of it at first, after all, the little male insect hadn't seen much of the world, and it wasn't impossible for him to trick him into his hands.
But now that he has witnessed the allure of other female insects, he is suddenly a little unsure whether he can still win over the young male insect.
As Eli walked over, his expression became noticeably more solemn.
Meanwhile, the completely unaware male insect was searching for Eli in the banquet hall.
He was wearing clothes that Eli bought for him, as well as jewelry that Eli gave him.
Although he had already shown Eli the photos, he still wanted to hear Eli praise him in person.
Kano's ears turned red at the thought of Eli praising him.
Just as he was thinking about how to get to Eli's side as quickly as possible, a bug blocked his way.
Cano instinctively stepped aside and then tried to continue forward, only to be blocked by the insect again.
Kano was instantly annoyed. He looked up and saw a bug dressed in flashy clothes, and his brows furrowed even more.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Reeves. I am Royardi. Please feel free to contact me if you require custom-made clothing."
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket, kissed it on his lips, and then handed it to Cano...
