Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Really, I don’t know who is…
"His Highness Gal's condition is not good. It would be better for the Third Prince to wait outside the door."
Russell looked down at the hand that was holding him and said, "Dean, follow me in." He chose to stand farther away from the infirmary door.
It just so happened that he didn't really want to meet the little male insect. Russell was deeply impressed by what happened during their last meeting. The little male insect was in a special situation now. What if he did something wrong again and angered him...
Then it is estimated that His Majesty will completely remove him from the royal family.
Rather than being expelled from the royal family, Russell did not want to see himself becoming a sinner of the entire insect race. His name would be engraved on the pillar of shame under the statue of the insect god, accompanying the insect race for generations.
"I don't know how long it will take inside. It's almost time for dinner. Why don't I have someone take the Third Prince down to taste our food?"
Angus and a doctor named Dean entered the infirmary. His Highness Gal didn't need too many people around him now, so Aiden was left outside.
Russell is the Zerg prince and also a guest. Aiden can't just have him guarding outside the door like a guard.
"You don't need to call me His Royal Highness the Third Prince. The Third Prince is just an empty title. Just call me Russell." Russell said self-deprecatingly.
In a foreign country, without anyone watching him, Russell felt the long-lost freedom.
He wanted to hear people calling him by his name more often, rather than the 'Third Prince' that the entire Zerg race found ridiculous.
"Okay, Russell."
Calling someone "Your Highness" is a courtesy. Aiden has already left that deformed society. In his heart, the only person he can call "Your Highness" is His Highness Gal.
"Is eating popular on Earth? Isn't it like us female insects, just drinking some nutrient solution to fill our stomachs at every meal?" Russell asked.
"The earth's soil is very suitable for planting, and humans are very good at growing a variety of crops and fruits. Every day, chefs prepare a variety of free meals. Most people in towns choose to go to the canteen to get their meals."
"We have enough nutrient solution in our warehouse. We are used to eating meals made with fresh ingredients, and we only choose nutrient solution when we go out on missions."
Russell was shocked by Aiden's explanation.
In the insect tribe, female insects will be given tasteless nutrient solution to fill their stomachs. This thing is very convenient and will not delay the working time of female insects. The food that takes time to make is prepared for male insects.
Most of the people sitting in the restaurant on the mother planet are male insects and female insects who are lucky enough to accompany the male insects out. Accompanying means serving the male insects closely during meals. More than 95% of the female insects are not qualified to sit at the table and enjoy the food.
In the palace, only the female insects favored by the Insect Emperor can be given a small amount of food. Female insect princes like Russell who are not valued can only eat nutrient solution every day since they can leave the milk fruit.
The female insects are used to drinking nutrient solution to replenish the energy needed by the body, but these female insects living on the "barren planet" have the right to freely choose their food.
Really, I don’t know who is the lower civilized creature.
"Alex, take the guests to the cafeteria for dinner. Also, I heard that the chef made the spicy chicken that His Highness likes tonight. Send some back to His Highness."
His Highness Gal likes spicy and heavy-flavored food, which is very different from the preferences of the sweet-eating male insects on his home planet. There is a small amount of chicken hidden in the bowl full of red peppers. Aiden tried it once and was almost choked to the point of flapping his wings in the cafeteria.
"This is the canteen built under the command of His Highness. It provides free meals for nearby residents. His Highness was worried that people would have to travel too far to eat, so he built one such canteen in each district."
Pushing open the door, one sees neatly arranged silver tables, and humans, female insects, and beastmen, holding iron plates in their hands, quietly lined up in four or five straight lines.
No one cares what race the person standing behind them is. Occasionally, when they encounter a human female with a big belly, they will take the initiative to let the pregnant woman stand at the front of the team.
How could Gal Eli, who was docile and used to treating female insects as consumables, build a country without discrimination?
Russell has been shocked countless times today, and a voice in his head told him that there will be many more shocking things in the future.
"Hey man, today the chef has made the spicy chicken that Your Highness likes. I wonder if Your Highness will come to the cafeteria to eat in person. I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time."
"I was in a hurry to pick up the equipment for the mission last time, and missed His Highness's time to borrow books from the library. I heard that His Highness hasn't appeared in public for half a month. I regret it."
"Isn't that Alex from the Guards? Is he here to serve food to His Highness?"
Someone spotted Alex at the back of the line.
The members of the Royal Guards are very famous in Gaia. Apart from Angus, they are the closest to His Highness Gar. Everyone is curious and respectful of the members of the Royal Guards.
"Alex, let's switch seats. Don't keep His Highness waiting too long."
"Switch with me, I'll stand closer to the front."
Everyone was calling on the female insect named Alex to switch places with him, and Russell noticed that there were even many orc faces among them.
Is this world crazy? Things beyond his comprehension kept happening one after another, and Russell felt dizzy.
"What position change? Let me tell you, Alex is the one who serves meals to His Highness. So what if he stands at the front of the team?"
In response to everyone's invitation, Alex took Russell to the front of the team.
Russell was already dizzy, and the neatly stacked red food in front of him made him think he was on a planet covered in flames.
"The cafeteria on the Reda is mainly for the convenience of His Highness Gal. The food is also more in line with His Highness's preferences, mostly spicy. Everyone who comes to eat on the Reda is here to taste His Highness's flavor."
"Female insects from the main planet of the insect race may not be used to eating food that is mainly pepper-flavored. Why don't I take you to the cafeteria outside? The lighter food there is more in line with the taste of female insects."
Alex is also a female insect, and he understands the feelings of this female insect prince who has been drinking nutrient solution for a long time. When he first saw these spicy-looking Earth foods, he thought that the humans on Earth were trying to poison him secretly.
"Your Highness Eli likes to eat these foods?"
"Yes, these foods are passed down from ancient humans. They call this style of cuisine 'Sichuan cuisine'."
The male insects' favorite food on their home planet is cupcakes covered with icing. Why do they suddenly like these human foods that smell pungent and look scary?
Russell was interested in trying the human food that fascinated the male insects. "No, help me choose a few dishes that His Highness Eli often eats."
Spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, Mapo tofu, Maoxuewang, Dongpo pork elbow, only five dishes can be placed on a plate, and the remaining space must be filled with enough rice.
According to His Highness's preferences, Alex prepared a full plate of food for the female insect prince in front of him.
Female insects that try Sichuan cuisine for the first time may feel a burning sensation in their stomachs. Fortunately, female insects are physically strong, and their entire stomachs have been removed, so it does not have much of an impact on them.
A strange face was too conspicuous here, and Russell had gained some fame among the insect tribe due to his previous engagement with a male insect. Several female insects present seemed to recognize him.
"Isn't that the third prince of the insect race?"
"The one who was engaged to His Highness and angered His Highness's family the first time they met?"
"It's him. Why is he here? The Third Prince is not very popular with the Insect Emperor. Double S-rank male insects are treasures in the Insect Clan. The Insect Emperor would not want to use this Third Prince to please His Highness, right?"
"The Zerg have made a wrong decision. Your Highness is not the same as those brainless male Zergs on the main planet. Your Highness already has General Angus. To use human terms, Your Highness will not be a two-timing scumbag."
"Phew, he's looking over here."
Facing the curious gazes from people around him, Alex placed the third prince in the corner.
"Don't you need to go and deliver food to His Royal Highness the male insect first?" Russell was stunned by the female insect's skill in using two wooden sticks to pick up food from the plate. He didn't understand how these two thin sticks were used.
"I have packed your favorite food in advance. If you need it, Commander Aiden will contact me via the communicator."
After saying that, Alex buried his face and tore off a large piece of elbow meat with chopsticks and placed it on the rice. The soup soaked the rice, which was a delicacy that the insect tribe had never had.
"You should eat quickly too. If His Highness notifies us, we'll have to go back as soon as possible." Alex kindly reminded.
In this plate of mainly red food, Russell first chose the same kind of meat as the female insect in front of him. The shiny meat looked very appetizing.
I followed the way the female insect in front of me ate. I tore off a whole piece of meat with a fork, dipped it in some soup, and placed the meat covered in thick soup on the white oval food.
Swallow it in one gulp.
The aroma of soft and rotten meat instantly filled my mouth, and after I swallowed the food, a faint sweetness remained in my mouth.
It was so delicious, several times better than the bitter and monotonous nutritional supplements. Russell thought he had no interest in "Earth-style food".
He admitted that he was wrong.
"You can eat slower, these peppers are a bit pungent." Looking at the insect prince with soup all over his mouth, he handed him a wet tissue.
"Your Highness Gal is enjoying such delicious food on Earth. Not to mention Your Highness, I too want to stay here." Throw all the etiquette and rules into the black hole of the universe.
After trying Earth's food, Russell felt that their plan to return the males to their home planet was simply not feasible.
Female insects are always quick in their movements, so eating is not a problem for them. It only took the two female insects five minutes to finish off the mountain of food on the plates.
"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding." The pager on Alex's chest was flashing red light wildly.
This is the highest level of alert.
