Seville Reading Companion
Every Zerg Queen must attend school and receive an education, a crucial step in her socialization. As the supreme leader of the Zerg, she cannot be ignorant of the sufferings of the human race, nor completely disconnected from the lives of ordinary people. Saint Hobel's Palace is home to the finest private school in the entire Zerg star field—the Lugong Star Academy, which recruits the best talents from all aspects of the Zerg race. However, in recent years, due to the imbalance of educational resources and some shady manipulation in talent selection, the new students at Lugong Star Academy have almost become a monopoly of the children of the elite families within the five star chains.
Gabriel considered sending Her Majesty Alyssa to school, but the difficulty was that Her Majesty Alyssa was already at the age of entering prime age, but her level of knowledge was not even as good as that of the young cubs who had just entered school. She could not even fully understand the common language of the Zerg.
Do you want Your Majesty to sit in the cub class? The things they learn there are too superficial.
Gabriel was planning to ask private tutors to bring Her Majesty Alyssa's studies up to a similar level before arranging her enrollment, but some bugs couldn't wait any longer.
The Worm Mother's first decree not only shocked the high-ranking families, but also caused dissenting opinions in the decision-making court.
Gabrielle ignored many of the bugs' communications, but there was one bug she could not ignore no matter what.
"Sir Alfonso." The video link was connected, and a bug that was obviously quite old was projected in the open space in front of Gabriel.
Alfonso Rulni, of the assassin bug species, has crossed the 400-year-old mark. Although his humanoid skin and flesh have not become too loose, the once brightly colored shells on his body have gradually faded.
Even though Gabriel, the chief internal affairs officer, has more power than him, he must be given enough respect for the chief of the Court of Resolutions who has seen off two Insect Mothers and is a veteran of three dynasties.
"Lord Gabriel," Alfonso said calmly, a steady tone that would quickly soothe the insects. "Her Majesty Alyssa did not adopt our Court of Resolution's advice regarding the handling of Drake Black Armor and the Third Legion's warbugs. Is there any special consideration?"
"I'm sorry, Master Alfonso, something unexpected happened... We should have informed you in advance."
"I respect Her Majesty Alyssa's decision. After all, it's Her Majesty's first decree after assuming the title of Worm Queen, and the Court of Resolutions should support it. However, my AI is about to be blown away by those impatient children."
"I apologize for disturbing you, but please believe that Her Majesty Alyssa was not acting without purpose. Drake has already accepted this outcome, and the Third Legion will be smoothly handed over."
Alfonso raised an eyebrow. "That would be great. But..."
He changed the subject, "Your Majesty's decree... somewhat caught the distinguished guests at Saint Joseph's Palace off guard. I've heard some unpleasant rumors."
Gabriel's eyes flashed sharply. "I will tear out those idle tongues and their gags."
Alfonso smiled. "Lord Gabriel is still young, hot-blooded, and always ready to fight and kill. I believe that after Her Majesty Alyssa's benevolent decree, you will no longer be guiding him."
Gabriel felt that this was a bit wrong: "What do you mean...?"
"Lord Gabriel, there are rumors that you, the Internal Affairs Officers, the Guards, and the First Legion, are working together to prevent the Worm Mother from interacting with other Worms, so that she can only hear and see information filtered by you. You've also manipulated the Worm Mother's political views—" Alfonso said before Gabriel's face changed. "Of course, I refuted this nonsense on the spot. Anyone can see your sincere and earnest care for Her Majesty the Worm Mother."
"It's just that Her Majesty Alyssa can't stay in the ivory tower you built for her forever. There are so many insects waiting to see her. She is the mother of all insects, isn't she?"
Gabriel was truly disgusted by the indirect pressure these high-ranking families were exerting. The Thanksgiving Dinner was less than a week away, and everyone was already acting as if they'd never get the chance to see the Worm Queen again!
She patiently explained, "Lord Alfonso, Her Majesty Alyssa was raised in human society after all. She needs some time to adapt to Zerg life and accumulate her political wisdom. Please believe that it is not our intention to isolate the Zerg Queen from the other Zerg."
On the other end of the video link, Alfonso's expression seemed profound. "A worm queen with human-like thinking... Lord Gabriel, I have a compromise plan. Would you like to hear it?"
Alfonso's compromise was to allow Queen Elisa to go to school. School was a relatively simple environment, and having the Worm Mother attend would both demonstrate the Palace of San Josephus's openness to the Worm Mother's socialization and allow her to interact with the children of high-ranking families without involving politics, thus comforting them.
Seville consoled Gabriel, "Master Gabriel, don't worry too much. You're just going to school. It's at Saint Joseph's Palace, and there are many guards at the school. Her Majesty Alyssa will be fine."
Gabriel rubbed his hands and appendages together until they crackled. "What do you know? Those children of the high-ranking families of Rugong Xingyuan are all so arrogant. Our Majesty Alyssa, a sweet and tender little pudding, will be bullied to the point of being a scumbag when she goes to school!"
This sweet, tender little pudding just conquered the most difficult legion commander! Sewell muttered to himself, expressing his doubts: "But, didn't Her Majesty Alyssa start from the lower grades?"
Gabriel stopped rubbing his hands and looked at Sewell: "Are you really going to let Your Majesty go to the cub class? Would Your Majesty be embarrassed?"
"Lord Gabriel, our goal is to help Your Majesty adapt to Zerg society. Interacting with innocent youngsters will help cure the stereotype of Zerg that Drake has instilled in you, which is that they are all just rough and tumble." Sewell patiently coaxed, "Also, Your Majesty may not be able to keep up with the senior classes, but you will definitely be able to keep up with the youngster classes. This will also help Your Majesty build interest and confidence in learning, right?"
Gabriel didn't think it was inspiring for the insect mother to be a top student in a class of cubs with an average age of 7 at the age of 20, but she was persuaded by Sevier.
At least she didn't have to worry about Her Majesty Alyssa being pushed away by those senior Zergs, who were each two meters tall and whose hormones were at their most excited.
Seville smiled brightly as he placed the last weight on Gabriel's wobbly scales: "I can also go to the cub class to accompany him."
Gabriel glanced up and down at Sewell: "You?"
Sewell: "Yes. Don't worry that Her Majesty Alyssa will be embarrassed, I'm here with you. In the human society of Ancient Blue Star, people of noble status often have several companions when they go to school. I volunteer to serve as Her Majesty Alyssa's companion."
Gabriel was truly amazed by Seville's shamelessness.
Knowing that his family's political power was insignificant, he was willing to do such things as accompany her to go through the cub class again in order to increase his weight in Her Majesty Alyssa's heart!
"Aren't you worried about Your Majesty? I'll record Your Majesty's daily life at school and send it to you."
This heavy blow shattered Gabriel's last bit of hesitation.
Having convinced Gabriel, Seville's heart leaped with joy like a butterfly fluttering among flowers: Great! This way, Her Majesty Alyssa won't be pursued by those hormone-fueled adolescent male insects, and she and Her Majesty can still be childhood sweethearts! We can grow up together!
When Alyssa heard that she could go to school, her eyes lit up: "What is school? Is it like a college? Can I go?"
Only the most learned and talented can enter the academies on Ancient Blue Star, and they also need a guarantor. Once you enter the academy, even if you haven't made any achievements, just mentioning the name of the academy will make people look up to you.
Alyssa was astonished to learn that the number of students in Lugong Xingyuan, from the young and young classes, had reached over 30,000. This was almost more than the total population of an entire county on Ancient Blue Star.
Lugong Xingyuan is a boarding school; after all, no one could own property in St. Joseph's Palace. But Alyssa had to attend school as a day student. After completing her schoolwork, she returned to the Garden Lugong Palace to take language and general studies classes, and she also continued to recuperate.
The night before school started, Gabriel, like any mother sending her child to school for the first day, gave her constant instructions: "It's a little difficult for Ryan to get into the classroom with his size, but he'll be waiting outside. If anyone dares to offend you, just call Ryan."
"Mammy, am I not in the cub class? It's inappropriate for Ryan to teach the cubs, isn't it?"
"Don't misunderstand the destructive power of the Zerg cubs... I've already contacted the principal and the class teacher. I'll have the best behaved cub sit next to you."
"Isn't Seville with me?"
"You have to be careful with him... If he does anything that makes you uncomfortable, be sure to tell me when you get back."
When Alyssa changed into her school uniform with the help of the housekeepers, all the bugs' eyes lit up.
The uniform for the junior class at Tsumiya Hoshiin consisted of a slim-fitting white shirt, a dark gray blazer, and a plaid pleated skirt. The housekeeper in charge of her attire had accessorized Alyssa with a brightly colored bow tie and matching butterfly hairpins. With her long, smooth, black hair flowing freely, Alyssa exuded youth and vigor. Furthermore, her inherently fragile and harmless aura made her look as tender in her uniform as a fresh lily, ready to burst with juice at the slightest pinch.
It was the first time Alyssa wore a skirt that was above the knee. Even though the housekeeper had given her black pantyhose, she was still not used to showing off her legs. She blushed and kept pulling down the hem of her skirt: "Does it look good?"
Now Ryan would answer quickly: "Ha!" (Your Majesty Alyssa! You are so beautiful! You look like a fairy!)
He had done his homework. Fairy - generally used to describe particularly beautiful girls among humans.
Sewell was stunned for a moment before replying, "Your Highness, this... I don't know how to describe it. Whether you're dressed like an ancient human or an insectoid, you've completely tamed this beauty, transforming it into your own unique aura. I simply can't take my eyes off you."
Ryan: “…”
Why was Lord Gabriel looking at him like a moron again? Was he being outdone again?
