Chapter 34 Who Envys Attia? [Huh?] ...
【ah? 】
Did I misread that? You just said Atia was whose female insect?
[You read that right, Atia is the female of Mephiel, and unsurprisingly, she is now his queen.]
So that troll was...
[Is it Murphy?!]
【What? ? ? 】
[Wait, let me confirm. How many Morpheus are there in the Federation? Are you talking about that newly promoted S-class Morpheus who caused such a bloodbath on the StarNet? There should be other males named Morpheus, right?]
[Although it's a bit cruel, I still have to tell you, it might exist, but this is definitely the real deal. Even the way it speaks that could infuriate insects is exactly the same.]
[...]
【Ahhh!】
[I'm going crazy! Isn't he S-rank? Can't he maintain a mysterious image? Can't he keep a little distance from everyone? I just decided to become a fan!]
[Although, he's not a celebrity, and besides him, which other male insect would say "my one and only beloved female"? Saying "beloved" over and over again makes my teeth ache.]
[Upon reading the above sentence, you should realize that he is no ordinary male insect. An ordinary male insect would typically forget he married a female the next day.]
No, you're wrong. They might not even be home the next day, haha.
So who's really envious of Attia? It's definitely not me.
[To be frank, I'm so envious! I wish I could worship such a great ruler!]
...
Atiyah was unaware of this matter, but he had a subordinate who enjoyed browsing the StarNet and following various trending topics.
Just after having lunch with Murphy, Rupert suddenly sent a message: "Legion Commander, Lord Murphy is publicly defending you on the StarNet. Those bugs who used to hurl insults at you are now too scared to say a word."
Atia was confused until he saw the post Rupert had forwarded, which had been trending at number one. Each of the top-rated comments was followed by a reply from a digital account with a default profile picture. The account's language was extremely aggressive and made no attempt to hide its identity.
Murphy was browsing shopping websites with great interest, because he wanted to order several more cotton heads to hang on Atia's body. Murphy had no doubt about Atia's ability to attract the attention of other male insects, after all, whose protagonist isn't a fan of all insects?
Therefore, he must be vigilant and guard against it. The cotton head serves as a deterrent, so that anyone who sees it will know that Atia is his female insect.
At that moment, he noticed that Attia, who had been silently handling official business, suddenly walked towards him, his voice hesitant.
“A mighty ruler.”
"What's wrong?" Murphy quickly put down his personal terminal, pretending to listen attentively.
He knows many loving couples who break up because one partner is addicted to the internet and the other feels neglected.
Atiyah organized his thoughts, “I saw what happened on StarNet.”
Moffer immediately considered the situation. Recently, besides news of his upgrade to S-class, the only other news on the StarNet was about Atia's consecutive defeats of two major legions. Both insects knew about these two news items, so it couldn't be Atia. Judging from Atia's expression, Moffer should know what it was about.
Murphy coughed lightly, trying his best to keep his tone serious, but it still contained a lot of smugness and a desire for praise, "Am I handsome? Am I powerful? Am I the most beloved and admired ruler?"
Atiyah paused for a moment, then replied without the slightest hesitation, "Yes."
That's amazing! He never imagined that Murphy would pay such close attention to something so small and would quietly protect him.
But he was concerned about something else, "...but you're an S-rank now, this might not be good for your image. Actually, you don't need to pay attention to these bugs, I don't care."
Murphy was happy for his unwavering answer, but also felt helpless and touched by his thoughtful considerations.
Stupid Attiyah.
Murphy reached out and cupped Atia's face in his hands, a smile on his face but a very serious look in his eyes. "I care. I care about everything about Atia. I want everyone to know that I have the best queen in the world."
"Can……"
Murphy chuckled and gently covered his mouth. "I'm already an S-rank, but I can't just insult them or protect my queen. What's the point of being an S-rank? Isn't it satisfying to see them unable to insult me or defeat me?"
Atia's eyelashes trembled slightly, his thin lips pursed, and his eyes were glazed over. Only the figure of Morpheus remained in his pale pupils, and his arrogant and self-righteous appearance made it impossible for him to look away.
Atia knew that he was the one who caused all of this; without him, none of this would have happened. But Murphy took it for granted that it was his own business.
It was always Murphy who was doing things for him, but he could never repay Murphy in any way.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Atia subconsciously whispered, "Thank you..."
"Hmm?" Murphy lowered his eyebrows slightly and gave a soft hum.
Atia suddenly snapped out of it; it seemed he couldn't just say thank you so easily, since he had just...
Atia lowered his eyes slightly, his emotion paused for a moment, and when it surged again, it was even more intense, as if his blood had also risen in temperature. Verbal expressions of emotion really didn't work on his lord; Morpheus probably preferred him to take the initiative to do something.
Attiya quickly planted a kiss on the corner of Morpheus's mouth, his movements swift and precise, aiming to leave Morpheus no opening.
Murphy felt a fleeting touch on the corner of his mouth, like a feather brushing against him, but the ticklish sensation traveled all the way to his heart.
His Attiya is getting better and better.
This time, when we move to a new house, I must fight for the right to share a bed with you.
Because Murphy had already woken up, he was able to go home that day, and due to the new class, he was also assigned a new house.
The female insect steward, dressed in black, came to visit him in his hospital room shortly after he woke up. Her face was full of respectful smiles. "Lord Morfield, congratulations on becoming an S-class male insect. This is the new house the association has arranged for you in the core area. Everything inside is ready. If you need anything, we can send over the items from the F area right now."
"Furthermore, His Excellency the President personally selected this house for you, so you can rest assured about its security."
Möffell readily accepted, “Very well, then thank you, Your Excellency President Nehemiah.”
After everything was done, the female insect deacon smiled and stuffed a black crystal card into Morfield's hand. "We are truly sorry for the serious mistake made by the Male Insect Protection Association in this testing incident. This is compensation for you, please be sure to accept it."
Murphy's eyes lit up. "I can't accept that."
Moffer didn't pause at all when collecting the card; he smoothly clamped it in and swiped it onto the computer.
Moreover, he not only swiped the card, but he also read the amount aloud.
"Wow, 10 million star coins? Is my spirit worth that much now? You guys are pretty generous."
The black-clad female insect was quite professional, her smile unchanged as she said, "You are a distinguished S-class lord, you must not underestimate yourself."
He added, "His Excellency the President asked me to tell you that he will definitely investigate the matter of the instrument malfunction thoroughly, so please rest assured."
Investigate to the end.
Murphy immediately found it amusing. "Of course, then I look forward to good news from Your Excellency the President."
If Möffield knows who did it, how could President Nehmeya not know? After all, there are very few insects capable of doing such a thing. It all depends on whether he is willing to take action against his most favored student for the sake of himself, an S-class male insect.
...
"Benham committed suicide?"
Nehemiah looked up at the secretary-general who was giving the report.
The Secretary General flipped through the documents in his hand and said solemnly, "Yes, Benham has been in the detention cell recently. Everything was normal before, but this morning when the prison guards went to deliver his food, they found that he was dead. He had stabbed his own heart with his claws."
"We found a message he left saying that he never expected his momentary lapse of judgment would have such serious consequences, almost causing the Federation to lose a high-ranking male insect. He felt he was unforgivable and committed suicide."
This is a rather extreme way to die, and the death is extremely painful, so very few insects would commit suicide in this way.
The secretary-general immediately thought, "It seems the mastermind has made a move. Is this a provocation?"
Nehemiah sighed, a hint of ambiguity in his eyes, and shook his head. "He's decisive in action, but lacks the necessary composure; he's unlikely to achieve great things."
The secretary-general asked curiously, "Do you know who it is?"
Nehemiah raised his hand. "You may leave. Let the prosecutor in charge of this case come to see me."
"yes."
At the same time, a trending news item on StarNet quickly gained popularity, reaching the top spot on the trending list in just one minute.
[Breaking News] His Excellency Murphy has taken His Excellency Bennett to the Central Court on the grounds of framing him!
Murphy had just been promoted to S-rank, and had even just been discharged from the hospital, when he immediately filed a lawsuit against Bennett, the most popular A-rank male insect in the entire Federation, instantly making headlines.
Bennett stood by the window, gazing into the distance, his eyes unfathomable. He spoke, "What does Murphy mean by this? Does he know something?"
As an S-class male insect, Mophiel was completely unable to harm him. In fact, to maintain his image, he had to put on a smiling face for Mophiel.
Logically speaking, he is no longer a threat to Murphy. Is Murphy going to completely break off relations and start a fight?
The person on the other end of the communication immediately denied it, "Impossible, I have already cleared away all the evidence. He may just be trying to use his S-class status to pressure you and force you to confess."
"Heh, you want to force me to confess?" Bennett chuckled. "I've done so much over the years to maintain my reputation; how could he possibly suppress me like that?"
In the federal government, popular support is often more effective than hierarchical suppression. He may lose in court, but when it comes to public opinion, he is the strongest. If Murphy dares to come, then let him come.
...
As for whether Murphy dares to do it?
Murphy directly used his full name @Bennett: "[Before, they bullied my Atia because he's so obedient and gentle, and he wouldn't tell anyone when he was wronged, so they just kept framing him. But now he's my queen, and I won't allow any insect to bully him.]"
See you in court @Bennett
