Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Astelle crossed her legs, toying with the romance novel in her hand...

Richard instinctively stepped in front of Yekaterin in an instant.

Because he wasn't sure what Astelle was thinking, and she had once considered killing Yekaterin...

Seeing her silly younger brother so nervous, Astelle didn't show any jealousy typical of a yandere brother-complex:

"Okay, okay, didn't I promise you I wouldn't kill anyone? You're really ruining the atmosphere of family interaction."

Yekalin didn't understand who this gray-haired woman was.

But seeing how nervous Richard was, the Duchess was not about to lose face on her own turf.

*Snap!*

A crisp snap of the fingers.

Suddenly, three hidden doors opened in the room, and a large group of knights rushed out.

Thirty! Third-tier mature beings!

These women, who were not skilled in aerial combat, were all muscular and covered in thick black armor.

Even without the Dream Bug, Richard could tell at a glance that this was an Earth Knight who excelled in head-on combat!

The moment they appeared, they surrounded Astelle.

It's over! Richard has completely lost control of the situation now.

But how could he possibly let Yekaterin and her sister actually fight?

"Stop! Stop! Don't do it!!"

Asdale's eyes were clearly glazed over; these people had angered her! They surrounded her, obscuring Richard from her sight!

Yekaterin was terrified when someone suddenly barged into her room: "Who is she?"

Richard was about to answer.

Aster interrupted, "Who am I? Little sister, do you know that's very rude?"

"She's my sister!" Richard clearly didn't want things to get out of control.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment...

"Alright, stop staring blankly. Let's sit down and have a proper talk..."

Richard tried his best to soothe the two jealous men.

……

Yekaterin generously dismissed the Earth Knight.

Although she couldn't sense Asdale's life stage, her sixth sense told her: this woman must be stronger than her... and she herself was only at the late stage of the third-order mature form...

Asdale doesn't appear as manic as she did when she first met Richard. But everyone knows that a strong person can conceal their expression and aura before killing.

Having received Aster's tacit approval in his mind,

Only then did Richard dare to tell Yekaterin the truth.

……

Yekaterin wasn't too surprised that Asderon was Asdale, a woman.

This surprised Richard somewhat, but what surprised him even more was...

Yekaterin actually took the initiative to talk to Astelle?

Catherine sat down on the sofa directly opposite Astelle:

"A woman disguised as a man... to inherit a title?"

Astelle closed the book and looked directly at Catherine:

"Part of the reason, I suppose, is to get some resources from those silly little royal girls..."

Yekarin certainly knew about these things.

Several of her nieces fought each other over Asdalon's right to keep her!

It turns out that this heartthrob from the Papal Knights Academy is actually a woman.

Yekaterin really didn't want to laugh, but she just couldn't hold it in. Didn't those silly nieces say they'd slept with Astelle or something...?

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago suddenly turned relaxed.

Although Richard didn't know what Yekaterin was thinking, he was still relieved.

Yekaterin finally calmed down. Since Astelle was Richard's sister, they were family.

Yekaterin naturally didn't want to be impolite. However, there were some issues that needed to be clarified:

"You previously... disagreed with Richard distancing himself from those women? Why was that?"

Astelle clearly has her own logic; she's not truly insane.

"For no reason other than you can't have children. The Charlemagne family needs to continue its bloodline."

clam?

Richard was clearly baffled by his sister's unexpected and insane logic: Didn't the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen be able to do *that* after reaching the fourth rank?

Astelle, of course, knew the truth, and directly told her foolish younger brother the truth:

"It's one thing for Richard to be an idiot not to know, but Miss Yekaterin, surely you know? Fourth-order humans are infertile, otherwise how come the Duke of the North only has you as his heir?"

After saying that, Astelle didn't look at the two silent people and continued reading her novel...

Now Richard understood! This had nothing to do with the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen! It had to do with life level! A fourth-order life form... had evolved into a new species...!

The root of the contradiction!

The third-tier Blood-Slaying Spider Queen... will turn her mate into a puppet... The fourth-tier Yekarin will lose her fertility.

Yekalin remained silent, but she understood these things perfectly well.

That's why during the day, she borrows the story fabricated by the Shadow Knights. She hopes to have a family with Richard…that impossible future.

Seeing that neither of them had anything to say.

Astelle, on the contrary, continued to persuade:

"Miss Yekaterin, your August family is thriving... but I only have Richard left as my brother. You can't expect the Charlemagne bloodline to die out, can you?"

Richard, of course, understood that the Charlemagne family had other collateral branches. It's just that Asdale didn't consider those people family.

Sensing Richard's thoughts, Asdal gave him an approving look. (To be continued...)

"If you're going to concern yourself with Richard and that Papal knight's affairs, I won't say anything. After all, she's about to enter the fourth rank..."

But Sally was handpicked by me… I personally implanted the Silver Demon Worm into her. You don’t understand why, do you?”

Yekaterin seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and spoke in a complicated tone:

"Stop talking, I know... Silver Demon Worms, Lust Demon Worms, are worms that are naturally related to reproduction... In addition to arousing lust, the abilities they give to their hosts include... making them more fertile... They are also the most common worms implanted in the concubines of high-ranking nobles."

Yekaterin understood all this, and naturally she explained it to Richard.

Richard has fallen completely silent.

Just as he had predicted, when caught in the vortex of fate...

Nothing that comes your way is a coincidence!

"Alright, I've made myself clear. You guys get ready and don't even think about resisting. I have my own plans for Richard's path; he'll stay on the predetermined track."

Asdale stepped out of the room.

Fourteen wings have sprouted from her back! She can actually also use the fourteen-winged, super-accelerated form of the Devouring Knight Insect?!

Asdale disappeared into the vast night... Richard was certain that his sister had flown away and was not hiding in place to monitor her.

Now it seems she really had no reason to play games with herself. All her actions were probably aimed at achieving a goal she herself was unaware of.

Yekaterin clearly didn't want to discuss the topic of fourth-order defects, and looked at Richard:

"Take me to get some fresh air..."

"good…"

Richard's silver wings also grew from his back.

He picked up Yekaterin and flew in the direction where Asdale had disappeared.
