Chapter 73 Frank Talk

Morris's right eye initially only suffered damage to the cornea. It is said that the alien venom burned several small holes in the center of the cornea, causing temporary blindness.

Fortunately, military females have strong self-recovery abilities, and as an S-rank military female, Morris's body also has the ability to repair damaged corneas.

At worst, you can get a new cornea through surgery. With the advanced technology of the current Zerg, cornea replacement surgery is common and familiar to them.

The conservative approach is of course to let Morris recover on his own. After all, surgery comes with risks, and Morris has the ability to recover from his injuries, which can also avoid many accidents.

Things were indeed moving in a positive direction in the early stages, and Morris could occasionally see glimmers of hope.

But at some point, the wound on Morris' right eye suddenly began to deteriorate rapidly. The bacteria corroded most of the flesh in the eye, and finally the entire eyeball had to be removed.

Edrian could still remember Morris's appearance at that time. He had lost one eye, and the remaining purple eye looked empty when he looked at Edrian. The cold accumulated inside the eye socket, driving away all the air around it and turning it cold.

Morris said nothing and led his troops away from the Imperial Star the next day. In the following months, Morris was always on the battlefield, and they rarely communicated. Even when he occasionally spoke to Edrien, the content was mostly silence.

Morris later died far away.

Adrian touched Morris's slightly cold face. Morris' temper was not as cold and hard as it would be later. Adrian softened his tone and said a few nice words, and Morris would always compromise with him.

"Morris, let me see. If you show me, I'll let you sleep on my big soft bed." Adrian threw out the bait.

Morris: "..."

His fingers were stiff, and he turned his head to see Adrian staring at his right eye. Morris was silent, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out and untied the medical bandage tied around his right eye.

He definitely didn't come here to sleep in that bed.

"My lord, I don't have the medicine with me now. I will go to the infirmary to change the dressing after I return." Morris said, turning half of his face to the side.

He got the angle just right, with enough light for Adrian to see his wound better.

Adrian turned his gaze over after the medical bandage was removed.

Morris's right eye could not be opened and was tightly closed. The entire area around his eye was burned red by the sparks from the battlefield. Most of his thick and dense eyelashes were gone, and large red scars could be seen between his upper and lower eyelids.

Adrien had never carefully observed Morris's wounds before. In their inherent impression, military women have first-class repair ability and strong enough to withstand artillery fire, but they never cared that they were also flesh and blood.

It was so serious at the beginning, no wonder the subsequent treatment became increasingly difficult and useless.

Adrian didn't dare touch Morris' wound, but only stopped his fingertips at his right temple. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It will get better in the future."

Morris's left eye twitched slightly. He didn't know what would happen in the future. He nodded to Edrien, "My lord, after my injury heals, I can go back to the battlefield and bring back many military merits."

Adrian raised his eyelids and looked at him.

Morris was not good at expressing himself. He lowered his eyelashes to hide his thoughts. "I can buy you any aircraft you want."

"...buy it for me." Adrian paused, pressing his fingertips on Morris' temple, his eyes unclear for a moment.

Morris was a man of few words and had stopped talking.

Adrian looked at him. The female insect had her clothes buttoned up neatly. She dressed the same way as in her previous life: serious, cold, and refusing to be approached.

But his facial expression now relaxed, showing a hint of compromise and calmness.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to buy it for me. Next time I'll get Supreme No. 10." Edric smiled amiably. He kissed Morris's eyebrows and ran his fingers through his thick black hair.

Morris paused, raised his chin slightly, and looked up to feel the touch of Edrien's thin lips between his eyebrows.

"My lord, why do you treat me like this?" Morris could hardly control his body. He wrapped his arms around Edrien's waist, his heart trembling with doubts.

Adrian had been wandering among various princes and nobles for some time. Although Morris did not participate in the royal struggle, he could see Adrian's ambition from it.

This male insect's target is the royal family.

Morris ruined Adrian's plan, and there is no way Adrian would let him go.

The fact is exactly as he expected. A few days before the wedding, Adrian looked at Morris with eyes that clearly wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect that his attitude would suddenly change after the wedding.

Now I am willing to take the initiative to kiss him.

"Morris, you are my queen." Edrian closed his eyes, resting his forehead against Morris, and spoke slowly in the warmth of their contact, "There will be no more from now on."

Morris' eyes flashed when he heard this. He grabbed the clothes on Edrian's waist, controlling his strength so as not to touch the skin inside the clothes.

Morris raised his head and kissed Edrien's lips. He deliberately asked, "My Lord, will you only marry me?"

Adrian finally heard something unusual in his words.

Morris, the female insect, has never been generous. She doesn't know how to share, nor is she willing to share. The only thing she knows how to do is to hold on to things tightly.

But he couldn't speak, and every conflict between him and Adrian broke out in silence.

It took Adrian many years of experience to understand Morris's temperament. He said, "Of course, there will be no more female insects in the future."

Morris leaned back in his chair, put his arm around Edrien's waist, and said softly, "My Lord, I will take this seriously. You can't lie to me."

Adrian glanced at him and said, "What if I lied to you?"

Morris lowered his eyes and said, "You are my lord, I will obey you."

Adrian: "Oh, then you don't mind me lying to you"

Morris remained silent. After a long pause, he nodded under the pressure of Adrian's eyes: "No."

Adrian: “…”

Morris will.

Morris and Edrien had a conflict, and neither side was willing to back down. Edrien was still brooding over the incident with the Queen, and wanted to abolish Morris's status as the Queen.

If Morris wanted freedom and wanted to lead a legion, Edrian could agree to it. There was no need for him to occupy Edrian's position as queen.

Adrian then asked Morris for a divorce, which was the final outbreak point of their conflict.
