Chapter 11 Six more partners at once...?
In a distant corner of the galaxy, Edmund looked at Anrita with fervent eyes and pleaded urgently, "Lady Anrita, please allow me to be your personal bodyguard! My mental power is A-level, and I am fully capable of protecting you!"
In this interstellar world, females have the right to choose multiple males as partners when they reach adulthood.
If they do not choose their own partners, the White Tower will arrange two personal guards for them. These two guards will live with the females and guard them at all times.
Over time, most bodyguards will become the partners of females.
Anrita was only eighteen, having recently come of age. The White Tower had just finalized the list of guards assigned to her, and she didn't even know what they looked like. She looked at Edmund and replied apologetically, "The White Tower has already assigned me guards, so..."
Edmund immediately said, "It's okay. As long as you agree, I'll go back and ask the White Tower to change the list."
Anita's eyes widened in surprise, her heart filled with confusion. How could they have gotten the White Tower to change the list? It suddenly occurred to her that the black bear was the Crown Prince, so their status must be quite high.
Anita hesitated a little: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Seeing the little female looking hesitant, Edmund stopped forcing her.
At this time, Eugene came out of the kitchen with a piece of hard bread in his hand.
He cut the bread into small pieces, placed them in a bowl, and handed it to Anrita with a distressed look on his face: "Lady Anrita, please eat some of this bread first to fill your stomach."
Gar sighed helplessly, "How can a female eat such coarse food? Lady Anrita has suffered so much following us."
After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, feeling full of guilt.
When they were on the main planet, they were all chosen by heaven and had vowed to give their future wives the best of everything.
But now, after finally meeting a female he likes, he can only offer this kind of crude bread.
Eugene said softly, "If you can't eat, just eat less and wait until Charlie comes back."
They thought the females would be furious when they saw the low-quality bread being fed to the males.
But when Anita saw the bread, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, there's bread here! That's great! Thank you!"
Her eyes sparkled as she thanked Eugene sincerely, then took the bowl and eagerly took a bite of a piece of bread.
The three males stared at her expression nervously. The bread was hard and rough, with a poor texture and even a slight bitter taste.
But for Anrita, this is much more delicious than the weird-tasting nutrient solution just now!
She ate bite after bite, and only stopped after several pieces, praising them: "It's delicious." She said to the three males: "I like it very much, thank you."
Eugene looked at Anrita's sparkling eyes and his ears instantly turned red.
At this moment, a girl's voice came from outside the door, arguing with Lao Xia: "Why won't you let me in? I'm a noble female!"
Lao Xia patiently persuaded, "Master Wei Ya, there are still out-of-control orcs in our diversion center. It is too dangerous for a delicate female like you to go in."
What Lao Xia said was right. This is a desolate planet. The counseling center is dilapidated and there are not even professional counselors.
Occasionally, some out-of-control stray orcs would be taken in here, but after Charlie and his group came, they were no longer taken in, but the others were unaware of this.
Wei Ya is a female whose spiritual power has not yet awakened.
On this backward planet, there has never been a female with mental power, and even females without mental power are extremely rare.
Wei Ya was the only female here, and the wife of the city lord, Senna. She had also marked at least dozens of males.
She was followed by two guards, arms folded across their chests, and said arrogantly, "Don't talk nonsense to me, old man! Do you know why I'm here? Where's that male I saw last time? Let him come out!"
Lao Xia was a little embarrassed: "This..."
It turned out that Eugene was seen from a distance by Weiya while he was on patrol.
At that time, Eugene tied up his short white hair, put on a dusty turban, and wrapped himself in the tattered cloak given to him by Lao Xia. He disguised himself as a wandering male orc, hunched over and patrolled the mountains and fields near the diversion center to see if there were any suspicious people approaching.
As a result, they were spotted by Weiya who was out hunting with her companions. Although Eugene was well disguised, Weiya only saw the upper half of his face and her heart was moved, and she had to mark him as her companion.
Eugene naturally ran away quickly. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Wei Ya came to the counseling center.
Wei Ya crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "I recognized him. You seem to have worn the cloak on him. Who is he to you?"
Lao Xia was nervous, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "Master Wei Ya, he is a stray male orc I rescued. He came from the slums and he is mute."
Eugene had a heavy accent, and Old Sia didn't want to reveal his identity.
Wei Ya was a little angry: "Don't talk so much! So what if he's mute? I'm going to order him, you hurry up and let him out, otherwise, I'll have someone tear down your counseling center!"
The two male companions following behind Wei Ya both had a mental power level of C. For Eugene and the others, C level was not considered high, but on this garbage planet, C level was already a very powerful person.
It seemed that Lao Xia was about to be unable to hold on.
Eugene took off all his weapons and handed them to Edmund. He put on the tattered cloak and wrapped his head and the lower half of his face with a turban. He whispered to Edmund and Gar, "Protect Lady Anrita. Stay in the room and don't go out. I'll go out and send them away."
Edmund said worriedly, "Eugene, please don't agree to her! I don't like the female outside the door."
Gar nodded in agreement: "I don't like it either!"
Eugene looked at them helplessly and thought, is this even necessary? How could he possibly like it?
Anita looked at Eugene's departing back with worry, then looked at the closed door. She finished her bread and whispered to Edmund, "Why did you say you didn't like the female outside? What does Eugene's search for a partner have to do with you?"
Edmund leaned closer to Anrita and said in a low voice, "Of course it does matter, Lady Anrita! We have always been by His Royal Highness's side, training and fighting side by side, and we have a perfect understanding of each other. Therefore, we will only choose the same female to become the common wife of our Blade Marines. This will make it much more convenient for both training and combat in the future."
As he said this, he stared at Anrita with burning eyes.
Anita's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head silently, pretending not to understand the hint in Edmund's eyes.
She thought to herself, what a joke, their Marine Corps plus the black bear, a total of six people, all high-level beast-form orcs.
She couldn't even handle the black bear, and was tormented. If these six people... she couldn't even imagine it.
