Chapter 64 You're also a secondary personality? Your name is... Murphy? ...
Palmer arrived late because he had to deal with a series of things left behind by Attiyah.
"Commander, you..."
Palmer was somewhat surprised that the Legion Commander had actually dropped his disguise. As for why his lips were swollen, he had wisely learned to ignore it.
Atia coldly shook off Morpheus's hand as he tried to get close to him; if you didn't see his reddened ears, you'd probably think he was angry.
Attiyah said, "Those who have been on the battlefield for a long time are not fools; there is no need for them to hide anymore."
Palmer nodded.
But when Palmer thought of Lord Murphy, he still felt a little sorry for him.
After finally becoming an S-class male insect, the female suddenly becomes the leader of a rebel army, overthrowing the regime, and most of the preferential treatment systems for male insects will no longer exist.
Not only that, but a being of insect king level suddenly appeared and competed with him for the female queen. If he encountered such a situation, he would feel like he had a heart attack.
At that moment, Marshal Melville, with his long golden hair, walked slowly from not far away, and Palmer lowered his head and stepped back to stand behind Attiyah.
The black-haired male insect, who was tirelessly trying to grab Atia's hand, seized the moment Atia nodded in greeting and forcefully grabbed his hand, interlocking their fingers.
Then she greeted him in return, "Father-in-law."
Palmer saw the black-haired male insect give a rare, normal smile, and his tone was also calm and normal, so normal that it made him feel like he was hallucinating another male insect.
No, no, Palmer shook his head to himself. Lord Murphy is so gentle, how can two insects be put together?
etc.
As Palmer pondered this, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
Female, female father?! Palmer's eyes widened in surprise.
What does this mean?
This is His Excellency the Marshal of the Empire, the only female ruler of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, and this black-haired monster actually calls him "female father"?
Wait a minute, he suddenly remembered the blond little prince who had been following the black-haired male insect around and calling him "brother." He hadn't paid much attention to him before, assuming that the insect that saved his life was his sworn brother.
But even if they were sworn brothers, it would be impossible for them to become so close in such a short time that he would call the female father of the insect family "female father." Moreover, given his personality towards this male insect, he would certainly not take the initiative to please other insects because of their status or position.
Palmer grew increasingly shocked as he thought about it, so the only conclusion he could draw was... that this male insect was the older brother of the blond prince, a prince of the Dawn Empire??
Palmer felt his brain was not working properly, as if his central nervous system had been burned out. The black-haired monster they had casually encountered in the Chaotic Star Sea was actually a prince of the Dawn Empire.
Can anyone tell him why a perfectly good male insect would give up his princely status to become a space pirate in the chaotic star sea? Does he think life isn't exciting enough?
Even Atiyah turned to look at Mephiel instantly. What did he mean by calling her "father"?
Marshal Melville was his father?!
Attia immediately rubbed his lips hard with his hand, as if burying his head in the sand, his eyes filled with anger that seemed to be spitting fire.
Just now, this insect was in front of its female father... Didn't it have any shame at all? Of course, it could hear the noise at the door, but at the time it didn't think too much about it. It didn't expect that the insect at the door and this male insect had such a close elder-father relationship.
Melville watched their interaction with a smile and said gently, "Little Murphy, may I still call you that?"
His tone carried a barely perceptible hint of caution. So much time had passed; the little boy who was only a few years old back then had grown up to be so tall and handsome. He had no idea whether the boy had a new name or what his life had been like before.
"Father, Murphy has always been my name," Murphy said.
Leaving aside how happy and gratified Melville was to hear his answer, the expressions of the other two insects around him were really too strange.
Murphy, Murphy?
Before Palmer could recover from the shock, he suddenly heard another bombshell news, so shocking that he thought he was hallucinating.
What did the male insect say? He said he was also called Mephiel? No, no, perhaps not Mephiel, but Messer or Raphael?
Or perhaps... it's someone with the same name. Yes, it's possible that it's someone with the same name. He shouldn't scare himself.
Attia was also taken aback, and immediately gripped Morpheus's hand tightly, turning to face Morpheus with her crimson pupils fixed on him.
Atia spoke with difficulty, "Your name is... Murphy?"
Atia never asked Mephiel's name. At first, she felt it was unnecessary, and later she felt it was still unnecessary. Two insects who were destined never to be together didn't need to know so much.
But what am I hearing now? His name is Murphy??
Murphy looked at him with a smile. "Yes, is there a problem?"
Atiyah's eyes widened as she stared intently at his eyes and expression. "Look at my face now, don't you think something's off?"
Murphy thought for a moment, "Is it beautiful? Is it delicious?"
Judging from his light tone and the absence of any unusual look in his eyes, he knew nothing about these things.
Atia took a deep breath, stopped beating around the bush, and went straight to the point, "Are you... actually the Federation's S-class male insect, Morpheus?"
The insects standing to the side remained silent, while Palmer, who knew the inside story, was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak. If this Murphy was indeed the Lord Murphy he knew, then today's events were indeed beyond his comprehension.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? No matter where I am, I still love you. Is this some kind of plot from a newly released movie in the Federation?
Melville and Lovin were unaware of these things before, and simply observed silently, as if there was some story behind it that they didn't know.
When Mophiel heard Attia's question, he stroked his chin and thought about it carefully.
"A Federation S-class male insect...?"
"I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."
Murphy tilted his head, then searched his body. He didn't have a personal terminal; he had just woken up on a desolate, godforsaken planet. He only had a text message on him, but he had only glanced at it briefly and then ignored it. It seemed to be a message left for him by the main insectoid. It didn't matter; it wasn't important anyway.
Murphy pulled a crumpled letter from his side pocket, unfolded it, squinted at it, and then gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, I think I was that Murphy before."
He said yes.
Mophiel's answer silenced Atia, and his crimson pupils were filled with a mixture of bewilderment, surprise, doubt, and, unknowingly, a hint of...joy.
They were clearly stunned by this huge coincidence.
Atia snatched the letter from his hand. The letter didn't contain much information, presumably because Atia knew the insect's personality and wouldn't have the patience to read it. It only briefly mentioned his identity, followed by a long paragraph of detailed instructions on what not to do and what not to do with other female insects.
The insect didn't read or follow any of the instructions, which is probably why Murphy came all this way here.
Atia felt a mix of emotions, like a spilled spice jar; the world really did have such a coincidence.
Thinking about it this way, it should be taken for granted that I met him in the villa that day, after all, he was the master insect of that house.
Murphy looked at Atia, who was reading the letter intently, and said, "Hmm, baby, it's really annoying that the Lord Insect met you before I did."
With a simple combination of ideas, he naturally realized the key to the matter; he hadn't thought of it before simply because he hadn't considered it at all.
"So that's why you were in the ward just now..." Atia suddenly remembered what happened in the ward earlier. No wonder the insect became even more excited after hearing his self-narration. It turned out that they were both "sub-insect types".
A smile curved at the corners of Murphy's lips. "Yes, I never imagined that Attia and I were such a perfect match."
Melville pieced together the truth from their conversation and looked at the two children with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lovin asked blankly, "Brother is now a secondary insectoid?"
Murphy said in a light and casual tone, "Oh, don't worry, I just accidentally split myself while playing with the props, it's nothing serious."
Palmer was practically going crazy. What kind of bizarre situation had he stumbled into today, causing him to split into two completely different people? Was this not a big problem? This was a huge problem!
Why isn't Rupert here? Does Rupert's absence mean he deserves to go crazy like a bug?
Atia didn't speak. He didn't know how he appeared. He just suddenly appeared with his past memories, and he didn't even know when he would suddenly disappear.
Lovin thought for a moment and said, "So my brother and brother-in-law split up and then got back together? What a coincidence."
Atia heard a sensitive word, "...Gof?"
Lorvén immediately covered his mouth, "I'm sorry... I spoke too quickly."
Murphy chuckled mischievously, then sighed melancholically, "Although it's my time now, well... let him have it."
Lovin saw his brother close his eyes, the golden lines in his eyes dimming slightly. The newly appeared Morpheus had a gentle gaze, yet also a hint of mischief, just like his gentle but teasing brother from when he was a child.
As he voluntarily gave up his props and skills, all the disguise on his face was removed, and he returned to his original appearance. His peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, and his thin lips had a natural curve, giving him a charming and romantic air.
This older brother looks so much like the one I remember, like he's grown up to the same size, except he doesn't have the chubby face he had back then.
elder brother……
Lovin was stunned for a moment.
Murphy smiled and said, "It's Father and Little Loven. I'm so glad to see you both again."
His other self, as a secondary insect, has incomplete memories. He can only recall a limited portion of his interactions with the insects. As he awakens, these sealed memories will gradually be unlocked in his mind over time.
You can choose to share it when the time comes.
The memories of the two insects are not shared in real time, so there are often information gaps. For example, this time, he had clearly met his wife so many times, but he just didn't know it.
However, it's quite interesting that he chose to share his previous memories, so the secondary insectoids could also learn about them.
“Brother!” Lovein couldn’t help but blurt it out.
“Welcome home, little Murphy,” Melville said gently.
Murphy patted Lovin's head skillfully, then grinned at the beautiful insect father and mother.
"Lovein still needs to grow taller. He said he would protect me when we were little."
Lovin pouted, "It's all because you like to pat my head that I'm not tall enough."
"The female father is even more beautiful than before, hehe."
...
On the other side, a faint purple tinge crimson crimson appeared in Atia's eyes at some point, until it completely absorbed the last trace of crimson. In an instant, his aura changed, becoming even more aloof and serene. "My Lord."
Atia, with his pale purple pupils, had no other memories; he was simply instinctively searching for familiar insects. Where was he? And the male ruler was actually beside him?
Suddenly, a small memory flooded his mind—a brief, shared memory.
This memory left Atia stunned for a moment. He didn't realize that such a coincidence had occurred during his slumber, that he had met another male ruler in the same situation, and that they had fallen in love again.
How amazing, and how lucky.
Murphy's expression changed instantly, and he said aggrievedly, "Atia, I clearly told him not to look for other female insects, but he didn't listen to me."
He even used props to prevent himself from having close contact with any female insects other than Atia. But unexpectedly, he, with his secondary insect personality, eventually found Atia's secondary insect personality. They were indeed a match made in heaven.
The aloof, purple-eyed female insect dared not look him in the eye, but instead turned slightly to the side, her voice low and soft.
"My lord, you... don't blame me?"
He left on his own and led a rebellion without considering the needs of Murphy, who was a male insect, and dared not tell him the truth.
Murphy patted his head. Murphy didn't think Atia had done anything wrong. Saving one's own people was a great thing. The only mistake was probably not taking him along. It was hard not to be able to be with his wife every day.
Mofiel pulled Atia's hand closer, snuggled into his ear, and mischievously whispered, "The Queen Insect has worked so hard! So, if the Queen Insect becomes president, will you appoint me as your only presidential husband? I'll work super, super hard to fulfill my duties~"
Atiya first felt the heat spraying on her ears and neck, causing her sensitive skin to tremble slightly, before she could hear what was being said.
The tone was a familiar, gentle tone; now that I think about it, the lord had never spoken a harsh word to him.
Atia stared blankly at Mephiel, her pale violet eyes reflecting Mephiel's image, her thin lips pressed into a straight line, and the tips of her ears slightly red.
This was an answer he had never expected, and the powerful ruler truly had no intention of blaming him.
His heart felt tingly and itchy, as if something was about to burst forth.
Meeting Murphy was truly the luckiest thing that ever happened to him.
But how could Murphy say such nonsensical things in front of his female father?
Attiyah kept his head down, not daring to look at Melville at all.
However, the fact that the male's female father was Marshal Melville is truly surprising to the insect. But upon closer reflection, it makes some sense. Only a loving couple like that could raise such a gentle child.
Melville smiled, feeling only relief that their children, like their male father, respected and loved their female insects, a respect that had never changed.
Lovin felt that the relationship between his two brothers and his two brothers-in-law was very different, but he was certain that they loved each other very much, something that even he could see.
...
The Dawn Empire, Imperial Palace.
A massive army, seemingly from nowhere, surrounded the entire Imperial Capital Star. The Imperial Capital Star's garrison offered no effective resistance, leaving the inhabitants in a state of panic, utterly bewildered by what had transpired.
Roxis walked step by step into the inner courtyard of the palace, where his nominal father, Hawthorne, was besieged in the council chamber.
The number of his troops was less than he had imagined, but it was still barely enough. It was all because of that good-for-nothing Marcus. He had given him so many resources and helped him expand rapidly in the Chaotic Star Sea, but it was all for nothing.
When Loxes entered the council chamber, he found that Hawthorne did not seem to be in a hurry. He remained as calm as ever, and even had the leisure to flip through a few reports on the table.
"You've arrived," Hawthorne said calmly.
Loxis paused for a moment, then said, "Father, I've come."
Just yesterday, the two insects were harmoniously discussing their studies in this council hall, but today they have taken the step of going to war.
"..."
"Loxis, is that your real name?" Hawthorne suddenly asked, his tone ambiguous, as if he were just making a casual remark.
Loxis was taken aback by his question, then found it amusing. What was so special about asking such a question at this moment? Shouldn't the question be directed at him for forcing the emperor to abdicate?
As for his real name, it had long since died along with his putrid past life, and he wouldn't remember it.
Because Hawthorne had completely severed ties with Melville's side, and had never even seen the video of the Federation battlefield due to Roxise's obstruction, he could only rely on his own speculation to understand the reason for Roxise's sudden coup.
But from the matter of Lovin, he had already vaguely noticed some suspicious signs, and the signal receiver was the most suspicious of all.
Generally speaking, without any conflict, an insect wouldn't think of killing its own brother. Moreover, the empire usually follows the primogeniture system, and as the only male insect prince, Lovin could not possibly pose any obstacle to Loxis. At most, Lovin would become his right-hand man, like Melville, and there was no need to go to great lengths to kill him.
But what if we change direction? What if we change the direction in which Loxis has a reason to kill Lovin?
Perhaps everything had been foreshadowed long ago, and the initial starting point was with Lowein. Hawthorne still remembered that day when his little Lowein suddenly came to him, asking where his brother was and saying that he couldn't find him anywhere.
His first reaction was confusion. Little Lowein had never met his brother before, so how could he suddenly show such deep feelings that he was inseparable from his brother? He thought that Little Lowein had just had a nightmare, so he discussed with Melville about bringing Loxis back ahead of schedule.
Looking back now, it was really strange at the time. From the two insects' discussion, he couldn't feel any feelings for this Loxis. Clearly, as his first child, and a rather sickly one at that, he should have cared for him more.
Melville's condition was also off during those two days. Even though nothing had happened, Melville was almost always looking at that corner and crying. He was clearly so sad that he couldn't control himself, but he didn't know who he was crying for or who he was sad for.
Strangely, he could empathize with the situation as well. Even bringing Loxis back did not alleviate it. Lovion was very resistant and kept telling them about his other brother, but neither he nor Melville had any memory of him and had no way of finding him. They could only try their best to comfort him.
This incident caused Lloyd to grow increasingly distant from them, to the point that they couldn't even get to him in time when danger arose.
Furthermore, the fact that Lovin and Loxis suddenly got along well doesn't make any sense. Now that he thinks about it, he has never seen Lovin and Loxis get along well, so why would he suddenly think that they got along well?
Loxis, the answer to everything lies with him.
Hawthorne's gaze remained fixed on Loxsis.
"What's the point of asking this now?"
Roxy said in a low voice.
"Father, blame him if you must. Why... did he have to come back? Why... couldn't he just die obediently?"

I've slightly revised the synopsis of my upcoming novel, "I Became the True Young Master's Ghost [Transmigration]". Hope it will be well-received by you all! [doge emoji with rose in hand][heart emoji][heart emoji]
Synopsis: Wen Yubai is a "lucky person" who accidentally steps into a time rift while walking down the street and ends up in a book.
What's worse is that she wore several books at once, jumping back and forth between several grand dramas about wealthy families every day.
The first book is a melodramatic and realistic story about a real and a fake young master. The fake young master is a beautiful, sickly, and manipulative woman, while the real young master is an honest and simple country bumpkin. In the end, the fake young master wins the family fortune, marries into a wealthy family, and achieves a perfect victory.
The second book is a melodramatic love story set in a wealthy family, featuring a domineering CEO and his unborn, pitiful kept woman. In the end, before either of them could even speak, the scheming woman took advantage of their vulnerability and the relationship ended badly.
The third book is a criminal case about a male movie star who falls from grace and is defrauded. The naive young master is deceived, his heart is taken away, and his family property is stolen. He is then vilified online and killed in the street by the movie star's crazed fans.
The lucky one, Wen Yubai, is neither the protagonist nor the villain; even a cannon fodder character is more noble than him.
That's right, he became a wandering ghost, spending his days watching the show in the huge mansion, occasionally giving pointers to the bullied little fool. Apart from not being able to eat sunflower seeds, he lived a rather enjoyable life.
Oh, and by the way, let me tease a certain big shot who always seems to appear in various iconic scenes. This big shot has a fearsome reputation that can stop children from crying at night, but he is undeniably tall, with a great waist and long legs.
As the biggest boss in several books, his ending—a car accident and drowning at sea—is rather tragic. Let's cherish what we have while we can.
Until one day.
Wen Yubai: Handsome, wanna date? I'll help you defeat the evil male lead and reach the pinnacle of life!
Pei Zhaolin: Hmm.
Oh wow...
It's like he can hear me!
