Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Chapter 71 Richard! It's snowing!

The blond-haired men looked at each other, clearly not understanding why.

Clever blondie continued to answer:

"Think about it, as long as the elders understand that we younger generation can't solve this problem, the problem isn't with us... they will definitely withdraw their orders and let us return to the inner world."

The blond-haired boys: That makes sense!

The blond-haired group finally reached a consensus and prepared to leave Stormwind City that night, heading towards the giant wall fifty kilometers away...

Now that they have a legitimate reason, the blond-haired guys don't want to stay in the outside world for even a second longer!

Richard, seeing that all the trouble was over, didn't bother with anything else.

And now it's snowing gray snow.

He had no interest in watching the blond guy or anything like that leave in the snow.

The August family was merely a minor setback in his plans. He was leading a team to repair Night Tide Castle tomorrow.

After descending the city wall,

Yekaterin was already waiting at the foot of the city wall, wearing his coat, and tossed out a conch shell.

Richard took it and examined it carefully...

This new communication conch is a size larger than the one Yekalin gave him before, and it comes in four colors.

"This is?"

"A fourth-tier sound-transmitting conch beetle, with a transmission range of over fifty kilometers. It's used by Stormwind City to communicate with the August family in the inner world. I don't want to listen to those old men bothering me, so I'll leave it to you..."

Yekaterin has completely handed over power to herself!

For a moment, I didn't know how to express it.

Now Richard understood how Yekaterin felt when she delivered the essence insect fluid...

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you cold?"

As Yekalin spoke, she didn't look at Richard, but kicked the dust off her boots.

To be honest, Richard didn't feel cold; his newly ordered commander's robe was quite warm.

Anyone who's been kept by a wealthy woman knows that these women are always willing to pay a high price in seemingly insignificant details, and the worst part is they won't tell you...

For example, the fourteen-winged Devouring Knight Insect... or the hired Papal Knights to protect someone... or the fourth-tier Sound-Transmitting Conch Insect that symbolizes the power of Stormwind...

These items are not priced, but they cannot be replicated by a second person.

The Duchess raised her voice:

Richard! It's snowing!

I already told you, don't just stand there like an idiot!

Richard, the autistic child, finally realized what was happening.

Regardless of whether Yekalin agreed or not, he scooped her up in a princess carry...

Fourteen wings unfold!

Super Acceleration Form!

He experienced a sudden emotional fluctuation.

Let's go back to the Duke's mansion first!

……

With the use of the Essence Insect Fluid over the past three days, Richard can easily fly for ten seconds in his Hyper Acceleration Form.

It landed steadily and ahead of schedule on the fountain square.

Because Yekaterin reminded her:

"Don't rush forward, or you'll attract the attention of the knights in the Duke's mansion."

Just as Richard had guessed. The twenty Storm Knights were clearly not the entire military force under Yekaterin's control.

However, Richard did not intend to find out all the secrets, such as what other trump cards the Duchess might have... If needed, Yekaterin would tell him in advance.

Moreover, he has no real interest in controlling Stormwind right now. His current motivation is simply to help Yekaterin hold onto this foothold.

"Do you need me to carry you back?"

"We've already carried him on our backs, so what's the harm in carrying him back?"

They easily found their way to Yekaterin's study, where Sally was still fast asleep...

Yekalin took the initiative to release her grip on Richard and get off him.

The Duchess instructed the head maid to light the wood in the fireplace and to have the maids move Sally to her bed.

Richard yawned, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"You didn't need to do that."

"If I don't do that, do you want to take this child... back with you?"

Yekaterin's magnanimity was clearly based on jealousy!

The Duchess looked like a matriarch.

Richard found it somewhat amusing:

"Sally is eighteen years old now, she's not a child anymore..."

broken!

Richard's mind suddenly clicked: how could he say in front of Yekaterin that Sally wasn't a child! If he didn't consider the maid a little girl, then he was treating her as a normal woman!

Isn't this self-destruction?!

Yekalin, on the contrary, was somewhat indifferent:

"Alright, some things do need to be made clear. But I don't want to force you to make any choices... Do you understand, Richard Charlemagne?"

"Although I've never met my mother, my father was a very devoted man; otherwise, those collateral branches of the family wouldn't have come to fight for the inheritance. Do you understand what I mean?"

Richard desperately wanted to say that he and Sally weren't in that kind of relationship.

But would Yekaterin believe it?

Even Richard himself wasn't sure if his indulgence and protection of Sally stemmed from the aristocracy's view of maids as property, or something else entirely.

Yekaterin clearly didn't want to give Richard too much time to think. She dismissed the maids, drew the curtains, and turned to look at someone…

She is naturally sensitive and prone to jealousy:

"Sally is your maid, so I can assume she's your mistress... I don't really like quantifying people, you should understand what I mean."

"But what about Gowei? You really only see her as a comrade-in-arms? A brother? Ha... Some things can't be hidden. I'm a woman too!"

Yekalin's barrage of questions left him completely bewildered.

They've lost the strategic brilliance they displayed when facing the blond-haired guy...

But Richard knew that remaining silent wouldn't make the problem disappear:

"I truly consider Govi a brother..."

"But Richard, have you considered this? Even if you think this way, does Goldie think the same way? I don't want to argue with you, but sometimes silence means acquiescence..."

Yekalin stared into Richard's eyes, her gaze already sharp.

That was the sharp edge of the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen, with its four-mirror double pupils!

To dissect someone's heart with both deep affection and ruthless cruelty!

Richard's eyes did not dodge:

"I will find an opportunity to talk to Gove about this as soon as possible."

There were no lie detectors in Yekaterin's room! Although Richard was telling the truth, he didn't want any unnecessary misunderstandings!

Facing this duchess in full force, or rather, her true injuries?

You must be 100% sincere! Any ambiguity may be seen as impure in your feelings!

Richard reiterated firmly:

"I will repair Night Tide Fortress as soon as possible... and send Sally to the Knight Academy."

Having received a clear answer, the assertive duchess actually breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you."
