Chapter 108: Gain and Lose

"Doesn't Sean have a female queen?" Edrien asked, "He has had no intention of marrying another female queen for many years. Has he changed his mind now?"

"What female monarch? Colin is just his female servant." A'ran said coldly.

There is only one queen in the male insect family. If the queen has not made a serious mistake, the male insect will not give up easily.

Sean's queen, Ryan, was hated by the Insect Emperor in the early years, and now she is dead, so the position of Sean's queen is vacant.

But in this situation, Colin is still just Sean's female servant.

Adrian was amused and asked, "Is Sean still thinking about Ryan?"

"What else? Colin's brain must have been crushed by a door. He was willing to be Sean's female servant. He went to the palace today to receive the order and thank Sean."

A'ran was furious for no reason when he talked about it. He told Edrien everything that happened in the cemetery. This was a royal secret that the Insect Emperor strictly prohibited from being spread outside, but A'ran told it all.

After hearing this, Adrian was a little surprised. He said, "Sean has put a lot of effort into this female monarch of his."

After Ryan became a plant worm and suffered organ failure, Sean did whatever it took. He dug out the lungs of other worms and transplanted them to him in an attempt to prolong Ryan's life.

After Ryan died, Sean actually hid him in a black crystal coffin to keep his body from decaying.

"Prince, can you tell me about Sean and Ryan?" Adrian didn't care before, but now he wants to know why Sean is obsessed with Ryan.

Male insects of the Zerg Tribe were always cold-blooded and heartless, and Sean was even more so. Adrien wanted to know why he would do so much for his female monarch.

"They?" A'ran raised his eyes when he heard that. He had lived in the palace for a long time and seldom went out. He didn't know much, so he heard the most gossip.

"I don't know exactly what their affairs are like, but I know the general idea."

"It is said that Sean fell in love with Ryan at first sight, and Ryan became pregnant not long after they got married. But at that time, my father was often troubled by nightmares. He had this old problem since he ascended the throne, and he had been treated for many years but could not cure it."

Ah Ran paused for a moment when he said this. The current Insect Emperor killed his brother and usurped the throne, killing all the bloodline of the previous emperor. At midnight, the Insect Emperor was always haunted by nightmares, which were all the wronged spirits of the previous emperor coming to claim his life.

"During the month when Rui'an was pregnant, the Insect Emperor had a nightmare. He dreamed that the evil spirit of the previous emperor was still there and had entered the royal family's unborn baby. The insect cub carried the resentment of the previous emperor, and when it grew up, it peeled off the Insect Emperor's skin, pulled out his tendons, chopped him up, and threw him outside the city wall for public display."

Adrian's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Ah Ran glanced at him and sighed, "All the pregnant female insects in the royal family had their babies aborted at that time. Rui An was just one of them."

It was a fully grown female worm. Ryan was more than seven months pregnant at the time, and the violent abortion almost killed him on the spot.

Adrian nodded. He suddenly understood Sean's mentality. After encountering such a thing, Sean did feel guilty towards Ryan and even found it difficult to let go.

"Sean regrets nothing. You have no idea how cruel he is." That sarcastic smile appeared on A'ran's face again.

"Ryan aborted his child himself. At that time, the Insect King secretly issued an order, and resentment arose within the royal family. In order to win the favor of the Insect King, Sean took the initiative to act as a 'role model' for the other Insect Kings."

"Poor Ryan, his health deteriorated rapidly after the child died, and his level had dropped to D."

Adrian remained silent for a long time before he asked, "How did it become like this?"

"Because Ryan's brain was also stuck in the door." A'ran had a bad impression of most of the female insects in the insect tribe. He mostly sneered and mocked them when he mentioned them.

Perhaps he felt sorry for his misfortune, but was also angry at him for not fighting back.

"Sean has been so nice to him. Any female insect with a brain would know to stay away from Sean, but he won't."

"Later, Sean was assassinated while traveling. Ryan stood in front of him and was stabbed to death in front of Sean. He was only a D-class at the time. Who could he beat? He was just a flesh wall for Sean."

A'ran picked up the hot water on the table again, and the hot and humid mist surged up and soaked his cheeks.

"After he became a plant insect, Sean suddenly regretted it. Sean sent Ryan to the hospital for emergency treatment and took care of him meticulously over the years, but what was the point?"

"Late affection is worth less than grass."

Adrian stood there in a daze, as if he had been hit on the head by a hammer unexpectedly, breaking open his skin and smashing the bone marrow and flesh inside into pieces.

"After he died, Sean suddenly regretted it..."

"Late affection is worth less than grass."

Adrian blinked. He couldn't hear clearly what A'ran said to him afterwards.

Adrian simply told Aran what to do next according to the original plan, and then told him to pay more attention to Colin's movements.

"Prince, if it is not necessary, extreme measures are fine." Adrien said absentmindedly, "This wedding cannot take place."

A'ran also had a plan in mind. He simply made a plan with Adrian, then put on a duck cap and left the villa.

Adrian heard the door's mechanical lock close with a heavy sound, and then the room fell into silence again.

Adrian leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the wall of the villa. The white-painted wall and the miserable face were there.

"Edrien, hahaha, just die with me... then we don't have to worry about anything."

"You want to divorce me? I don't agree."

"Why, Adrian? I'm no longer useful now that I've lost an eye, right? Are you going to abandon me? Forget about your life! I'll take you with me to death..."

"Bang--"

There was another dull sound, as if it had smashed the lattice window in the distance. Adrian put down his hand, opened his slightly sleepy eyes, and heard the sound of a mechanical lock switch.

Adrian's vision blurred for a moment, and after a few seconds, the scene in his field of vision became clear.

"My lord, why are you sleeping here?" Edrien felt his waist and abdomen sink. He subconsciously reached his hand down, and his white fingers shuttled through his black hair.

Morris originally wanted to carry Edrian upstairs to sleep, but now that he saw that he had woken up, he simply squatted beside the sofa and buried his face half in his abdomen.

Adrian felt a little itchy from his actions, he laughed, bent over and sat up.

Morris buried his face in his abdomen and did not move. At first, Adrian did not pay attention to it, but after talking to Morris for a few words, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Morris, keep your head up."

Morrison paused for a moment before raising his head. Adrian looked at his face and paused.

"…Who hit you?"
