Chapter 106 Affair
Ludwig appeared outside the door at some point. He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded. He watched the scene in front of him as if he were watching a play. The corners of his lips curled slightly, but a closer look revealed a darkness in his eyes:
"Sivley, why didn't you tell me earlier that you like Lady Amber? This would save Lady Fang Yun from being obsessed with you."
"Brother...Brother?! Aren't you in a meeting?"
Siffre didn't expect Ludwig to suddenly appear here. His head buzzed and he stepped back in panic. He had been afraid of Ludwig since he was a child. Every time he saw his expressionless face, his heart would suddenly startle and he would feel creepy.
Ludwig raised his eyelids and said, "If I don't come, how can I watch this wonderful show?"
In fact, he was not very surprised. Even a blind man could tell that the way Severus looked at Amber was not simple. After what happened today, it was only a matter of time.
Amber seemed to think the matter was not serious enough. He took a clean coat from the closet and put it on his arm as if nothing had happened. He apologized to Severus without any sincerity: "I'm sorry, I was worried that your appearance in the male insect locker room would cause misunderstanding, so I asked Ludwig to come over. You two can talk slowly."
Amber Yuhe turned around and walked outside. When she passed by Ludwig, she left a message: "Come down early. I'll wait for you in the cafeteria for dinner."
"Hmm," Ludwig replied with a half-smile, "Ten minutes."
After Amber left, she thoughtfully closed the door. The locker room immediately fell into silence. Severus broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that there would be a male insect like Amber in the world. Not only did he ignore the temptation that came to his door, but he even called the female monarch to catch him cheating.
"Brother...Brother...I was wrong..."
Severus leaned against the locker and said incoherently, "I was just joking with Lady Amber."
Ludwig walked closer to him, his boots making a soft sound on the heated floor, and said in a low voice: "Sivry, this is not funny at all."
He moved his fingertips and pinched Severe's chin. Due to years of fighting, his palms were stained with old scars from practicing shooting. They were inevitably rough as they slid across the delicate skin. Without much effort, Severe did not even dare to struggle.
Ludwig raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sivlai, you seem to be afraid of me?"
But he has never touched his younger brother since he was a child. Why is the other party so afraid of him?
Sivley shook his head stiffly: "Brother, if you are angry, just hit me. I have no complaints."
Ludwig said nothing, but reached out and patted Severi's cheek. The sound was crisp and slow, and the faint tingling sensation made his skin burn. He said in a low and dangerous tone: "Be good. You are my brother after all. It would be ugly to beat you up and break bones."
"This won't be an example next time. Do you understand?"
Silver nodded in fear: "I understand, I understand."
Only then did Ludwig calmly withdraw his hand, turn around and leave.
Amber had already ordered two meals in the cafeteria. He checked his watch and saw a figure sitting down opposite him at 9 minutes and 56 seconds. He lazily slumped into the chair with a smile on his face, like a victorious general: "So, am I not late?"
Amber raised her lips slightly for a moment, then suppressed them again, so as not to be discovered by the other party that she was watching the excitement: "What's going on, a fight?"
Ludwig snorted: "You seem to be looking forward to us fighting?"
I was really looking forward to it, after all, Sifley looked like he needed some help.
Amber pushed the plate towards Ludwig and said, "It looks like you two didn't fight. Let's eat. It's getting cold."
Ludwig bit his fork, leaned closer to Amber, and said proudly and arrogantly: "You are mine, and no one can take you away."
The canine teeth are pointed, like the bared fangs of a beast.
Amber smiled and said, "I'm not a popular person, so there won't be many people fighting for me... By the way, when will the operation to exterminate the aliens on the planet Golga start?"
When this matter was mentioned, Ludwig's face became more serious. "The order should be sent tomorrow. We will set out within three days. The Empire's largest energy mine is on the planet of Vorga. The longer we delay, the greater the loss. The top brass will not allow the situation to continue to deteriorate. Fortunately, the male insects do not have to go to the battlefield. You just need to stay in the starship when the time comes."
Amber secretly raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
The departure date came much sooner than expected. After the Empire issued the order, the legion gathered its troops overnight to count the weapons. In addition to the Black Eagle Legion, another regiment was dispatched from the First Army to provide assistance. Dozens of giant starships flew towards the planet Vorga in a mighty manner, and their huge figures almost blocked out the sky.
Amber sat by the window in the starship, wiping a long sword in his hand. He had ordered this sword from the weapons museum a long time ago. It could cut iron like mud and cut through hair instantly. Coupled with the technological advancement of the Zerg, it was much harder than any ancient weapon. In comparison, the light energy gun was not so useful.
Ludwig had just finished deploying the combat plan and walked out of the inner cabin conference room. When he looked up, he saw the male insect lowering his head and carefully wiping the cold weapon in his hand. The other party was wearing a neat military uniform, with a cold and sharp temperament, far sharper than the long sword, which caused a lot of attention in the dark, but he himself did not notice it.
"What are you looking at?"
Major General Joyce of the First Army walked up behind Ludwig and followed his line of sight. He understood immediately, "Your fiancé is quite special, but you'd better remind him that cold weapons like swords are not as useful as laser guns on the battlefield."
Ludwig came to his senses and said, "It doesn't matter. He doesn't have to go to the battlefield anyway."
The biggest role of male insects in the army is to use their mental power to calm down those female soldiers who are in a state of violence. They often do not get involved in the core battle circle, so he thinks it doesn’t matter what weapon Amber uses.
Major General Joyce smiled and said jokingly, "That's right. Having fun is more suitable for male insects."
Across the corridor, Fang Yun's side was experiencing a completely different and lively scene. He was surrounded by many female insects from the First Army, all of them were handsome and beautiful. They gathered together to chat and laugh.
"Sir, you are amazing. I have been on so many missions, but this is the first time I have seen a male insect join the Black Eagle Legion."
"When the mission is successful and we return to the imperial capital, can I invite you to dinner?"
Fang Yun seemed a little overwhelmed by such enthusiastic pursuit, but he enjoyed it very much in his heart. He was embarrassed to refuse, and nodded and agreed to the military ladies' invitations one by one, completely ignoring the playful look in their eyes.
Seeing this, Ludwig's eyelids twitched, and he said to Major General Joyce: "Tell your soldiers to behave themselves. We are going to the battlefield now, not holding a blind date."
The First Army is the Insect Emperor's trusted army. Most of the female insects who can join it are royal relatives. When they put on military uniforms, they are warriors, and when they take off their uniforms, they are noble young masters of Heize City. Because of their wealthy families, those female insects don't take civilian male insects seriously and always play them around. If you have to describe it, it's probably like treating an expensive toy to relieve boredom, such as... Fang Yun?
Major General Joyce spread his hands and said, "They have been quite obedient. Otherwise, it would not be the male insect that is being 'surrounded', but your fiancé, Lady Amber. Believe me, they are more interested in your fiancé."
If Amber's eyes weren't so cold and he didn't look like he wanted to keep strangers away, the number of female insects surrounding him would have been a hundred times more than Fang Yun's.
Ludwig snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied with this statement: "He is not that easy to hook up with."
Ludwig didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to find a male insect who was calm and collected. If Amber didn't react impulsively every time they were intimate, he would probably suspect that she was not easy to deal with in some way.
Ludwig patted Joyce on the shoulder and walked up to sit next to Amber. The male insect saw him coming and stopped wiping his hands and put the sword back into the scabbard: "Why did you come out now?"
It was very novel, because Ludwig heard a subtle complaint in this sentence: "What's wrong?"
Amber didn't elaborate, but frowned slightly: "It's too noisy next door."
There was an empty seat next to him, and for some reason the female insects from the First Army kept asking if they could sit next to him. Amber refused eight or ten times, and in the end she was so dry-mouthed that she simply pulled out her sword and placed it across the two seats to avoid harassment.
Ludwig finally realized what was going on. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be disappointed. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Oh, I thought you missed me. Don't worry, the meeting is over. There's nothing urgent next."
There are still two days and two nights to go to the planet of Gorga. In the following time, Ludwig stayed by Amber's side like a puppy guarding a bone, and those female insects who wanted to get close to Amber had nowhere to start.
Fang Yun, on the other hand, has enjoyed the best of both worlds in the past two days. Those noble young masters of the First Army, who are not even adults yet, have been hanging around at the wine tables. Each one is sweet-talker and better at flattering than the other. They have praised Fang Yun to the skies. Even Siflai has been neglected and often sits alone in the corner, looking a bit pitiful.
"A sweet-talking male insect is unreliable. Although you look a little cold, you are much stronger than Fang Yun... No, he simply cannot compare to you."
Having eaten, lived and slept on the starship for the past two days, Ludwig could only hide in the storage room to be close to Amber. He was pressed against the door and kissed until his legs became weak. He panted softly in the male insect's ear and was glad for the ten-thousandth time that he had good taste.
"Ice-cold?"
Amber was somewhat interested in the word, "Am I cold?"
Ludwig kissed his cold lips, his voice unclear: "Well... it's cold, but it's enough that you are only warm to me."
There was a palm-sized porthole in the storage room. Looking out, one could see the endless night sky with twinkling stars. It was vast and boundless, which meant that they were getting farther and farther away from the planet Aresia and closer and closer to the planet Vorga.
Amber took a look, then looked away and smiled deliberately, "Really? I'll have to think about it."
Ludwig hooked Amber's collar and said in a hoarse voice: "After this mission is successfully returned, plus the military merits accumulated before, I will be promoted to Lieutenant General. You will be the youngest Lieutenant General in the Empire. You deserve it~"
He was a rising jewel in the empire, and Amber had never doubted it.
They stayed in the storage room for half an hour, and to avoid gossip, they left one after the other. Amber waited for Ludwig to leave, and about ten minutes later she pushed the door open and went out. Unexpectedly, she saw two familiar figures at the corner, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
"No... Andrew, we just met, calm down..."
Fang Yun was pushed against the corner of the cabin by a brown-haired female insect, who was asking for a kiss. Facing the girl's enthusiasm, he seemed a little flustered, and his resistance was somewhat ambiguous, resulting in several kisses falling on his cheek.
Andrew has a round face and looks quite cute, but his skilled kissing movements show that he is not a pure female insect who has never been in love: "Sir, I believe that it is good enough when fate comes. Time is not an excuse. Maybe we will die on the battlefield in the next second. Why not have fun?"
Fang Yun seemed to be completely helpless in front of the female insect, as if he was facing the male insect's arrogance: "But..."
"Don't worry, Severus won't find out."
Andrew had already noticed the male insect's hesitation, and he kissed her again without saying a word, which was extremely passionate. Fang Yun's struggle gradually weakened, and his psychological defenses were broken.
To be honest, Amber didn't have the habit of disturbing other people's fun, but as soon as he started moving, the "little couple" heard the noise and jumped away, looking at him in surprise.
Fang Yun's eyes widened, his expression unpleasant: "Why is it you?"
What could Amber say? She also came here to have an affair with Ludwig, but she didn't expect to run into you guys.
Of course you can't say that.
Amber stretched her neck lazily and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Fang Yun, there's no need to be so surprised. I just came to the storage room to get something. You guys can continue."
He gestured at the thermal blanket in his hand before passing by and heading towards the inner cabin, leaving Fang Yun standing there alone with a look of doubt.
Andrew glanced at Amber's departing back, his eyes fixed on her slender figure. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This male insect was more attractive than Fang Yun in front of him. However, Ludwig had already warned him privately not to touch her, otherwise he could still try her taste.
Andrew reached out to pull Fang Yun, not at all panicked by being discovered, but full of interest: "Sir, shall we continue?"
Fang Yun dodged away in annoyance: "I have something else to do. I'll go back first."
He still had some sense of shame in his heart, and knew that catching an adulterer was not an honorable thing, especially since everyone around him knew that he and Sifley were a couple. If the news got out...
Fang Yun was shocked when he thought of this. He was worried that Amber would go back and say something nonsense. He really didn't feel like continuing to linger with Andrew, so he hurried back to the cabin.
At that time, Amber had already sat down, wearing an eye mask and leaning back in the chair to rest and sleep, while Ludwig held a light board in his hand, adjusting the map to check the location of the planet Verga, and discussing the battle plan in the online meeting group.
Because it was night, the cabin was exceptionally quiet, and every insect was gathering strength to prepare for the next battle. Fang Yun didn't know if it was because he was guilty of being a thief, but he always felt that the air was abnormally quiet. When the female insects heard his footsteps, their gazes were mixed with inquiry and scrutiny, which made him feel embarrassed.
Amber must have said something nonsense!
