Chapter 94: His Royal Highness
Morris must have learned about this only at the end of the war. He and Colin belonged to two different camps and met each other on the battlefield. Every time they met, there was a tragic scene of bloodshed.
But they are brothers.
Morris, the female insect, looks careless and unfeeling, but in fact, she is the most restrained person.
Colin and he are fraternal siblings with the same blood. They suffered the same misfortune, supported each other, and fled together when they were young.
Morris didn't do anything cruel to Colin after all.
It was this mistake that caused him to die on the spot.
Adrian closed the white paper. His mind was confused. He went to the side and poured a glass of water and placed it on the table.
The cool water went down his throat, clearing up his confused thoughts a little. Edrien swallowed the unknown emotions in his heart and subconsciously picked up the laptop that was thrown aside.
Something flashed on the computer screen. Adrian clicked on it and scanned it, only to find that it was full of junk ads.
Adrian was inexplicably irritated. He flipped back to the chat box with Morris and typed a line of worm text into it.
"Come back early in the evening."
After Adrian finished typing, his fingertips paused. He hesitated for a few seconds and typed another line of insect language. After finishing typing, he felt something was not right, so he deleted it all.
The chat box was filled with deleted and reduced messages, and the sentence above was edited for a long time but was not sent out.
Adrian was still organizing his words. His fingertips paused above the computer and a sentence suddenly popped up on the screen.
"My Lord, are you thinking about me?"
Adrian: “…”
"I don't have to work overtime tonight, so I can come back early."
Adrian was silent for a few seconds, then typed a response: "You're still using your laptop at work?"
Morris responded quickly: "Because I just missed you too and wanted to reply to your message."
Adrian sneered. Morris was getting better and better at using sweet words to please him. Now seeing these words, Adrian knew that Morris must have a stiff and innocent face.
"Okay, okay, I know you miss me. Go to work first, I'll wait for you at home."
After typing the worm text, Adrian sent it to the other party. Morris replied immediately as usual. He was very well-behaved at this time, and simply said "hmm" and then quickly exited the chat interface.
Adrian: “…”
He saw Morris exit the StarNet and turned off his computer.
The chill rising from the white paper was finally thrown away by Adrian. Adrian stood up and slowly thought about his next countermeasures.
Morris still doesn't know Colin's identity, but Adrian is not sure whether Colin knows who Morris is.
Colin is now on Sean's side, and will eventually be against Adrian. No matter what... Adrian will not give Colin a chance to attack Morris again.
Adrian held the glass on the table. The water inside had already cooled down and penetrated the low temperature outside, making it icy cold.
Killing him is the safest way, but Colin has an unknown system covering him, so it is still difficult to get rid of him.
Adrian thought to himself that Morris was not easy to deal with either. Morris valued Colin very much, and if Adrian really killed Colin, it would be a big blow to Morris.
Adrien didn't want their relationship to remain as stalemate and cold as before in this life.
Adrian frowned slightly. He was thinking of another solution when the doorbell rang suddenly.
[A bug comes to visit——A bug comes to visit——]
Adrian stood up after hearing the mechanical sound. His villa was located in a remote area, and apart from Morris who often came in and out, no other insects came here.
Adrian has been wary of Sean during this period and has never shopped online. He never expected that a bug would come to visit him on its own initiative.
Adrian walked behind the door. He looked at the surveillance camera at the door through the mechanical screen and saw the male insect standing outside the door.
The male insect had blond hair, red eyes, and a tall stature. His shoes were polished to a shine, and he was standing at the door in a neat white dress.
Perhaps because the black tie on his chest was tied too tightly, wrinkles still remained at the collar. He frowned and glanced at the surveillance camera with a look of impatience on his face.
Adrien was slightly surprised to see him. He opened the electronic lock and saluted the male insect outside the door, saying, "Good day, Prince Aran."
Ah Ran was silent for a few seconds, then leaned over and saluted Adrien in return: "Sir Adrien, there is no need to be polite."
Adrian didn't expect that A'ran would come to him on his own initiative. A'ran was of noble status and grew up in the palace, so it was not easy for him to see him.
"Sir, I have something important to discuss with you. Let's go inside and talk." A'ran's eyes stayed on Edrien for a moment. He pinched the tip of his nose unconsciously and spoke.
Adrian's eyes turned slightly, and he looked outside, but he didn't see any female insects that were tracking and ambushing.
He stepped aside to make way for Ah Ran: "Prince, please."
Ah Ran walked in quickly. The first floor of Adrian's villa was fairly tidy, with things placed in their corresponding places in an orderly manner and no garbage piled up.
After entering the room, A'ran looked around the rooms intentionally, as if he was looking for something. His gaze stayed there for a very short time, and after Adrian came over, A'ran withdrew his gaze.
"Prince, what do you want?" Edrien could vaguely guess the purpose of A'ran's visit. He did not point it out. He poured A'ran a cup of tea and sat opposite him.
Ah Ran's face was still pale from a long illness. He coughed twice and said, "Sir, I have heard your name before. Forgive me for my misunderstanding of you. I thought you were my brother Sean's love interest. After all, you two were inseparable for a while."
Adrian: “…”
Adrien heard the test in Aran's tone, and he said, "Prince, Prince Sean only took care of me because I looked a bit like his queen. He and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Is it just because you are somewhat similar to his female monarch?" A'ran picked up the hot tea on the table. The temperature in February and March was still too low. A'ran was thin and his words sounded weak.
Adrien looked at him. "Prince, what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing, just want to let you know something." Ah Ran said, taking out a few photos from his pocket and putting them on the table, "Can you see the difference between them?"
The photo showed the bodies of several female insects. When they died, they were all missing some part of their faces, either an ear, a nose, or an eye... Their tragic death was the same: they were all disemboweled, their organs were emptied, and their intestines were torn out and thrown aside.
Adrian looked at the photos and remained speechless.
Ah Ran picked up the photo of the female insect with its eyes dug out and placed it in front of Adrian. "Sir, his eyes are the same as yours, a rare emerald color."
