Chapter 9 Mental Disorder: Even if you wear a crown, you must bear its weight
Geras lowered his eyes to look at Lanrod and sighed:
"You know he's a 5S-level female insect, the only and most powerful one in the world."
Kerry nodded.
Geras's eyes were empty. "Though he wears the crown, he must bear its weight. Lanrod possesses the greatest combat power in the world, yet he also shoulders the most arduous combat missions. Lanrod is not a god. Powerful enemies and intense battles constantly drain his body and spirit."
"His body is not that bad. After all, he is a 5S-level female insect with strong recovery ability. Combined with medical treatment, ordinary physical injuries are not fatal."
Kerry understood what Geras meant and pursed his lips and said, "...What about his spiritual realm?"
Geras sighed and shook his head helplessly. "As a female insect, you should be very aware of the soothing power of male insects in our spiritual realm. Normally, female insects only need to find male insects of the corresponding level to soothe them, but Lanrod's situation is special."
"He's a 5S-level female insect, which means only a 3S-level male insect can barely heal some of his spiritual domain. However, the highest-level male insect in the world is only S-level."
Kerry looked up at Lanrod and said, "Is there no other way?"
Geras followed Kerry's gaze and looked at Lanrod sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed. He said, "The current solution is to prepare a special artificial male insect soothing agent for him. However, this will only alleviate some symptoms and cannot truly soothe his mental realm. To soothe his mental realm, he still needs the soothing of male insects."
Geras sighed softly, "Actually, I once suggested that he combine with an S-rank male insect. While it wouldn't completely cure his spiritual domain, it would at least have some effect. After all, the highest-ranking male insect in the world is only S-rank."
Kairi's eyelashes drooped. "If you're willing, there should be an S-rank person who wants to appease your spiritual realm."
Or there will definitely be one.
Because in her previous life, Carrie heard that two S-class male insects wanted to pursue Lanrod, and they ended up fighting, which caused a sensation in the empire.
"Of course there is, but Lanrod himself doesn't want to. I really don't understand what he is thinking!" Geras said angrily.
"Commander, do you dislike that male insect? Or do you mind his level? But S-level is already the highest level of male insect." Carrie looked at Geras.
In fact, if a female insect can meet a male insect who favors her, she will be extremely happy.
But... Carrie looked at the silver-haired female soldier who was sleeping quietly on the hospital bed.
Obviously, Lanrod is not an ordinary female insect.
Geras shook his head: "He doesn't care about the other party's level, but he has no intention of combining with the male insect at all!"
Geras got angry when he said this.
"The union of a male and female insect is a choice built into every insect's genes. I really don't understand what Lanrod is thinking every day!"
After hearing what Geras said, Carrie looked up in surprise.
Having lived in the Zerg world twice, this was the first time he saw a female Zerg who didn't want to have a male master.
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It makes me angry!" Geras rolled his eyes. As a doctor, he was really annoyed by disobedient patients.
"You have his spiritual power in you, so you can't leave too far. You stay here." Geras glanced at Kerry, then walked out angrily. "I'll get him some male insect sedatives. He'll need them when he wakes up!"
Carrie looked at Geras's back, then turned and walked to the bed.
Carrie was worried that the sunlight would shine into Lanrod's eyes when he woke up, so she pulled the curtains halfway down.
Sitting in the accompanying chair next to the bed, Carrie first observed the surrounding environment.
In all his years, this was the first time Kerry had seen such high-end facilities.
Holding his chin, Kerry's thoughts wandered. He thought about how he had pulled Lord Bijifei to block the knife, and then he thought about the letter of complaint from Yuremo.
So, can he still become a student of the First Military Academy?
Also, why did he feel that his mind and body were being manipulated at that time, and what is "emptiness" and "voidness"?
After thinking for a long time, Carrie guessed that "Kong" should be related to a high-level exotic beast. He had never heard of "Kong" before, so his level was probably not high enough and he did not have the qualifications to know "Kong".
Carrie withdrew her wandering thoughts and looked at Lanrod lying on the hospital bed.
The silver-haired female insect's face was pale, and there was no blood between her lips.
His eyes rested on Lanrod's slightly chapped lips. Carrie stood up, poured a glass of water, and took out a cotton swab.
Dipping a clean cotton swab in clean water, Kerry carefully used it to moisten Lanrod's chapped lips.
As they brushed against each other's lips, Kerry couldn't help but marvel at the perfection of Lanrod's lip shape.
Because the distance was so close, Carrie could even see the long eyelashes of the silver-haired female insect, which were as gorgeous and beautiful as a phoenix's tail.
It's really beautiful, Carrie thought.
Retracting his gaze, Carrie continued to moisten Lanrod's lips. When he looked up again, he suddenly met a pair of Qingchuan's beautiful eyes. These eyes had the confusion of just waking up, and then quickly became clear.
"What are you doing?" Lanrod's voice was weak and low, but Carrie could hear it clearly.
"Sir..." Carrie looked down at the cotton swab in her hand and didn't know how to explain.
When Lanrod saw the cotton swab in Carrie's hand and the clean water next to it, he understood what Carrie meant.
Raising his eyes slightly, Lanrod looked at the half-drawn curtains.
He said it felt a little strange. It turned out that the curtains blocked the sunlight this time, leaving only the remaining warmth.
Looking up at Kerry, Lanrod wanted to get up, but the heavy feeling of fatigue prevented him from moving.
"Sir, Dr. Geras said you'll have to stay in bed for at least a week," Carrie said.
Lanrod raised his eyes and glanced at Kerry: "Where is Geras?"
Kerry pursed his lips and said, "He went to get the artificial male insect pacifier."
Lanrod hummed, then closed his eyes.
An unknown amount of time had passed. Just when Kerry thought Lanrod had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard a cold voice.
"I will give you an additional test. If you pass, you will be admitted to the First Military Academy."
Kerry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Lanrod's perfect face. Coincidentally, Lanrod had just opened his eyes.
There seemed to be infinite stars in the cold silver-blue eyes, deep and lonely.
"Thank you, sir!" said Carrie.
Lanrod lowered his eyes and said, "In the next few days, you must intensify your training. If any of your combat, mental attack, or weapon crafting is substandard, I will not pass you."
Kerry nodded: "No problem!"
He had gotten in based on his real ability, so he wasn't afraid of taking the test again.
But...Kerry suddenly thought of a question.
"Sir, Doctor Geras said that part of your mental power is with me, so I can't leave here."
Lanrod raised his eyelashes and said, "I will withdraw my spiritual power after I recover. Before that, your actions are unrestricted."
While Kerry was still wondering why Dr. Geras wouldn't let him leave, he heard the door suddenly open. Geras angrily said, "No! Kerry can't leave the testing center!"
"Are you crazy, Lanrod? Part of your mental power is on him. If he is too far away from you, how can your mental domain bear it?!" Geras was almost mad at Lanrod.
"It doesn't matter." Lanrod said.
Geras slammed the report in his hand on the table and said, "It doesn't matter! Don't even think about it. Until you can reclaim your mental strength, Kerry can't leave here too far!"
Lanrod frowned: "I'm fine..."
"How come you're okay again?!" Geras rushed to Lanrod. "You were already mentally disturbed, and now you're missing a piece of your mental strength. Let's see how you can handle it!"
Lanrod glanced at Geras and turned his face to the side.
"How is Lord Bijifei?"
Geras sneered: "Sir Bijifei has recovered very well, at least better than someone else."
Adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind, Geras placed the artificial male insect pacifier in the freezer and said to Carrie: "If he shows any signs of trouble, give him a shot in the neck."
When they reached the door, Geras suddenly turned around and said, "You can go to the training room of the testing institute, but don't leave the testing institute."
Kerry nodded: "Okay."
With a bang, Geras closed the door.
Kerry glanced at the pacifier in the freezer, then looked at Lanrod.
In his previous life, Kerry had never been in such close contact with the legendary Imperial Star. He didn't expect that His Highness Lanrod, who looked noble and aloof, would be so, uh, willful?
No, not willful, Carrie's eyes softened.
——It’s soft.
Standing up and walking to Lanrod's side, Kerry said in a gentle voice: "Sir, thank you."
Lanrod's eyes were startled, and he lowered his eyes and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. This is what I should do."
Carrie shook her head: "You could have not saved me."
If prioritizing the protection of male insects is the rule for female soldiers, then Lanrod can actually completely abandon this C-level female insect.
"You are a citizen of the empire, and I have an obligation to protect you." Lanrod's cold voice was like the knocking of a glacier and the gurgling of water.
Carrie smiled but said nothing.
And now, Kerry finally understood why Lanrod had so many supporters, because this most powerful 5S-level prince was indeed worthy.
"You are responsible for memorizing the rules of the Imperial Military Academy today," Lanrod said.
Kerry understood Lanrod's intention. He looked up and said seriously, "I've memorized it, and I know clearly that protecting male insects is the first rule of the Imperial Military Academy."
Lanrod looked at Kerry's serious eyes and nodded slightly.
And it was at this moment that Lanrod took a closer look at the young female insect in front of him.
Carrie has rare black hair and black eyes. His pure black eyes are as quiet as the starry sky. Once you look into them, it is difficult to look out.
In an instant, Lanrod suddenly thought of the content of the report letter, which mentioned that Bileti helped Carrie cheat and enter the school because she was deceived by Carrie's appearance.
Looking at Carrie quietly, Lanrod had to admit that the female insect in front of him was indeed very beautiful. She was delicate and gentle, and her gentleness also had a certain beautiful aggressiveness that made it difficult to ignore.
night
Carrie lay on the accompanying bed and looked at the starry sky outside through the window.
The rising stars reminded him of a starry night he had seen a long time ago. At that time, he had not yet traveled to the Zerg world.
While recalling her previous life, Kerry suddenly heard a muffled groan.
His mind returned instantly and he sat up straight.
In the moonlight, Carrie looked in the direction of Lanrod, only to see that the silver-haired military woman's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her cheeks, which were originally as pale as paper, were abnormally red.
Kerry quickly got up and rushed over.
"Sir?"
Lanrod closed his eyes tightly, and the huge pain made him frown.
The unstoppable pain from the spiritual realm made Lanrod's teeth tremble. He bit the delicate flesh of his lips hard, trying to relieve the most terrible stinging pain from the spiritual sea.
"Sir, don't use more force!" Carrie discovered that Lanrod had bitten his lip.
Blood flowed from the corner of his lips onto his snow-white clothes.
Subconsciously reaching out to hold Lanrod's arm, Kerry still felt the biting cold.
The body temperature of the silver-haired female insect has always been very low, as if it had walked out of an iceberg.
"Your Highness, open your mouth," Kerry coaxed softly.
He touched Lanrod's jaw, wanting him to stop exerting too much force.
Lanrod seemed to have heard Carrie's voice. His jaw relaxed slightly and his brows gradually relaxed.
But even so, Kerry could see that Lanrod was suffering great pain at the moment.
The skin of the silver-haired female insect was trembling, and the dense cold sweat made her soft silver hair stick to her cheeks.
Kerry hadn't expected the pain in the mental realm to be so intense.
Although Carrie is a female insect, he has never experienced mental domain disorder.
Carrie quickly got up and ran downstairs, opened the freezer and took out the artificial male insect sedative.
The light blue liquid slowly flowed in the air, and its color became darker and darker.
"Sir, hold on, it will be fine soon!" Kerry quickly returned to where Lanrod was.
However, the exposed fingertips of the silver-haired female insect had turned blue from the pain.
With a jump in his heart, Carrie quickly peeled off the loose hair on Lanrod's neck. Just as he was about to push the soothing agent in, he found that Lanrod shook violently and avoided the injection.
Carrie immediately adjusted his plan. He placed Lanrod's head on his neck and let the silver-haired female insect rest her head on his shoulder. He fixed Lanrod's position with one hand and used the other hand to accurately and quickly inject the sedative into Lanrod's neck.
Quickly pushing the soothing agent into Lanrod's skin, Kerry felt Lanrod's body twitch violently, and then calmed down.
Keeping this posture and not daring to move, after an unknown amount of time, Kerry felt that Lanrod's breathing had become slightly steadier.
"Sir?" Kerry whispered.
"...Hmm." Lanrod's breath reached Kerry's ears, making him feel itchy.
Kerry didn't know whether to move or not, so he kept doing that.
Lanrod rested his chin on Carrie's shoulder, and every breath he took caused the ends of Carrie's hair to flutter slightly.
Reason told Lanrod that he should sit up, but extreme fatigue and pain prevented him from moving.
Although artificial male insect pacifier has been injected, it is not real male insect pacifier after all, and can only barely reduce the degree of pain.
Closing his eyes slightly, Lanrod felt that Kerry's body temperature seemed to ease his pain.
Generally speaking, female insects have a lower body temperature, but Lanrod felt that Kerry was very warm, not just warm, but even gentle.
"Sir..."
Carrie didn't dare to move, his sixth sense told him that Lanrod was still in great pain.
Carrie thought of what Geras said, that artificial male insect pheromones could only barely reduce the pain, and if she wanted real soothing, she still needed real male insect pheromones.
With his lips tightly pursed, Kerry felt Lanrod's pain. He slowly raised his hand and patted Lanrod's back with a coaxing tone.
"Your Highness, just relax, it will be over soon."
Gently patting Lanrod's thin back, Kerry tried to soothe Lanrod and make him relax.
"Are you kidding me? I'm not a young larva." A cold and weak voice came, and Carrie couldn't help but laugh.
"Sir, all you have to do is relax."
After an unknown amount of slapping, Kerry felt the breathing in his ears gradually calm down.
He carefully pried Lanrod's shoulders apart, then supported his head and carefully placed Lanrod on the pillow.
Looking down at the silver-haired female insect who had fallen asleep, Carrie glanced at her cheek covered in cold sweat and reached out to grab a tissue from the side.
Raising her hand and gently wiping Lanrod's forehead, Kerry tried her best to make Lanrod sleep more comfortably.
Lanrod's eyes were tightly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. He wanted to wake up, but he could only open his eyes for a moment.
Bold...
Lanrod thought that no one had ever dared to approach him like this.
Feeling the gentle touch on his skin, Lanrod could no longer resist and fell into a deep sleep.
Kerry stood up and looked at Lanrod. He covered Lanrod with a blanket and then carefully sat down on the accompanying chair.
Kerry didn't dare to make a sound. Lanrod had finally fallen asleep, and he was afraid that he would wake Lanrod up.
Bored, Carrie looked at Lanrod's extremely superior face in the moonlight and counted his long eyelashes out of boredom.
In the moonlight, Lanrod's silver hair seemed to be covered with a halo, lying softly on his forehead.
Kerry looked at Lanrod in a daze. He didn't expect that the Major General, who was like the Empire's God of War, would have such a fragile side.
It turns out that the mental disorder of female insects is really so terrible and so unbearable.
At this time, Carrie couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was just a C-level female insect. Perhaps it was precisely because of his low level that he did not have any mental disorder.
early morning
Sunlight streamed in softly through the half-open window.
Lanrod slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his drowsiness. His eyes moved slightly, and Lanrod looked to his left.
The young female insect on the accompanying chair was sleeping soundly with one hand supporting her cheek. There was a blue color under her dark eyelashes, and it seemed that she had not slept all night.
Lanrod looked at Carrie quietly for a few moments, then stood up and wanted to carry her to the bed.
The intense pain made Lanrod gasp, and the tearing in his heart made him almost unable to move.
Lanrod calmed his breathing and stopped moving.
He glanced sideways at the black-haired female insect next to him and said nothing.
A faint scent of soap wafted through his nose, and Lanrod thought of the scene last night.
The young female insect's body temperature was warm and comfortable, and there was a faint soapy scent between the ends of his dark hair, which was light but inexplicably soothing.
With a "ding" sound, the door opened.
Lanrod raised his eyes and wanted the newcomer to speak more quietly, but unexpectedly saw Shika - the Empire's S-class male insect.
"Your Highness! Are you okay?" Shika shouted.
Lanrod quickly turned his head to look at Kerry, only to see Kerry's long eyelashes trembling, and then he raised his hand to rub his eyes.
