Chapter 300: Your Highness, Your Male Backup Has Been Stolen
【Emperor of Insects】
The palace has beautiful buildings and picturesque scenery.
During the New Year, the insect tribe's biggest festival, all the royal family members attended a grand banquet held in the palace.
It is called a banquet, but in fact it is just that His Majesty the Old Worm Emperor wants to take a look at these younger generations, get to know them, and choose partners for them.
The dark exchanges of interests involved during the period have basically nothing to do with these ignorant young people. It is something that the older generation can think about with a quick glance.
In the most remote palace, the little prince was lying on the cold bed.
There wasn't even any thermostat in the room, and he wasn't covered with a blanket.
Just staring at the ceiling that had no electricity.
Compared to other places, his palace is as deserted as a haunted house.
Normally, no insects go here.
The little prince didn't even have dinner because at this time, all the robot insects in the palace were busy preparing for the banquet.
He is a despised insect.
It's not because his development potential is not high enough, or his skills are not good enough, nor is it because he doesn't study hard enough.
Just because - he is a female.
His Majesty the old Insect Emperor has many descendants, and the first three princes are all male insects. He would not need a dispensable female insect at all, and it is impossible for him to be kept as the heir insect.
Those trained male insects had no ambition at all, and the way they could save face in the various subjects that the royal children studied was to secretly replace his grades.
But after all, this is a world that is very particular about rules. The old Insect Emperor cannot have the final say, and his qualification as the successor insect cannot be directly revoked.
So it was just that he was not allowed to attend these external banquets to prevent him from getting help and to prevent him from getting to know more insects.
At the same time, they suppressed him in every aspect of life, doing it without leaving any trace but with great cruelty.
The little prince didn't seem to worry too much about his future. He looked at the ceiling again and found that there were still no insects outside offering food, so he sighed.
Silently picked up the book on the table.
He needs to learn something more.
When he is needed, he must be proficient in everything, because he has no one to rely on.
After being attracted by the content, his stomach seemed to no longer be hungry. For a female insect as strong as him, perhaps there was really no need to eat every meal.
The little prince did not hate his female father, he was just angry why he was not a male insect.
Just when he thought that no bugs would come over all night, he heard noisy footsteps outside. They were a few guard bugs with whom he had a fairly good relationship.
Of course, perhaps this is also the reason why the old Insect Emperor is wary of him - it is difficult for the insects he comes into contact with not to like him.
The little prince opened the door hopefully, hoping that they would bring warm food.
However, the guards at the door looked particularly sluggish. They didn't hold anything in their hands, and they were stumbling around with terrified expressions. It was obvious that they had sneaked out.
Seeing the empty-handed guard bug, his eyes dropped instantly, but he still smiled appropriately: "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The guard insects exchanged glances and urged each other, and finally one of them stammered, "It's like this, Your Highness, your backup male insect... just happened to differentiate successfully today."
The so-called alternative males are the males that have been selected in advance by the females. Even if the secondary differentiation is not successful, they are most likely to be the males that the females will marry.
The two families have a vested interest in each other, and this situation will only occur when the female insect's family is the stronger one.
But the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince is different.
There is affection between them.
We had met before, had a very pleasant conversation, shared the same values, and were ready to be together.
The little prince touched his empty stomach and cold body, and felt that this was the first good news he had heard tonight.
"Thank you for telling me this." His smile became more sincere, and he looked at Chong, who was not ready to leave yet, to inquire whether he had anything else to say.
"Originally..."
"…no……"
The guard bug's hesitant manner made the little prince suspicious.
"What happened?"
"Your backup male insect... he has been assigned to another female insect from a noble family. I'm afraid he can't fulfill his marriage contract with you."
After the guard Chong finished speaking, he looked at the little prince's surprised eyes and felt unwell.
If the other party wanted to snatch the bride, it would be easy to deal with. With the prince's status as a prince, who would dare to snatch the bride?
But this was pointed out by His Majesty the Old Worm Emperor himself.
