The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Ashel didn't understand.

Why did the topic suddenly jump to pheromones?

The next moment, the tyrant picked up the terminal that was lying to the side, glanced at the time, then looked up at him and said, "You still have time to dawdle?"

Normally, the female soldiers would already be dressed and ready by this time.

Ashel is still wearing soft pajamas and even has time to chat with him.

Cen Li reasonably suspected that Ashel was going to be late.

Asher caught a glimpse of the time on the male master's terminal out of the corner of his eye, and with a start, he hurriedly said goodbye to the male master and immediately went downstairs to wash up.

This was the time Ashel had been in the most rushed while washing her face and getting dressed.

Ashle had never given himself so little time.

He somewhat regretted being so blinded by greed and staring at the male ruler for so long that morning.

The lord's embrace was so warm that Ashel couldn't bear to leave.

The thought that I might lose the chance to share a bed with my lord forever because I'm a restless sleeper is unbearable.

Even with such a tight timeframe, Ashel couldn't help but feel like crying.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the fact that he hadn't seen the male lord for a week that made him feel down, or whether the male lord's dislike of him made him even sadder.

"My lord, I'm leaving."

Asher tidied himself up and made all the preparations. As he was leaving, he saw the male ruler coming downstairs and couldn't help but say goodbye to him.

Ashel added, "I'll be back as soon as possible. Please take good care of yourself."

The female insect was dressed in a meticulously tailored military uniform, but her eyes remained fixed on him.

Slimy.

Just like Ashel who clung to him yesterday.

Cen Li approached and asked, "Is there enough time?"

Ashle glanced at the time and replied seriously, "I have to leave in three minutes."

Actually, he's leaving home two minutes later than he usually does.

But when the master asked about the time, Ashel, harboring his own thoughts, replied without batting an eye that he had plenty of time.

After saying that, he inwardly despised himself.

Ashel wanted to spend more time with the male ruler.

We won't see each other again for another week.

"That's enough."

As soon as the male finished speaking, Ashel was pulled into a pleasant embrace filled with male pheromones.

Open your mouth.

That deep blue hue caught Ashel's eye.

His heart tightened, and he obediently did as instructed.

The next second, the male master grabbed the back of his head and kissed him.

My heart started pounding.

Ashleigh's mind went blank for a moment.

The male ruler timed it perfectly, releasing him exactly three minutes later, patting his waist, "Alright, you can go now."

Ash didn't even know what he said in response, and left the house in a daze.

His mouth was filled with the scent of male insect pheromones.

It lingers between the lips and teeth.

This made Ashel dizzy.

The army has completed its assembly.

The major general usually arrives early, but today he was late in showing up.

As the time drew near, Yero's eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

Could it be that something happened to the major general?

Yero opened his terminal, preparing to make a call to the major general to ask what was going on.

Suddenly, they heard an insect shout "Major General!"

Hiero paused, looked up, and saw Ashel.

His tense expression relaxed, and he took a few steps forward, greeting, "Major General, you arrived much later than usual today. Did something happen on the way...?"

The second half of the sentence stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered for a long time.

Yero's gaze shifted downwards, landing precisely on the major general's slightly swollen lips.

This is……

Noticing his subordinates' gaze, Ashel's expression flickered with unease. He coughed and said, "Something came up and I was held up."

He arrived just in time.

Ashel remained calm and composed, passing by Hierro and walking towards the main force.

After the major general left, Yero could no longer hide the shock in his eyes. He turned back and stared at the major general's back, unable to process the information he had received.

Days passed by, and Cen Li's life continued as usual.

The absence of one insect in the house made him feel somewhat uneasy.

This tranquility was shattered when Cen Li was summoned by the military, who said that in the previous kidnapping case, someone had confessed to deliberately revealing his whereabouts.

"I knew this wasn't simple! How could they know your location so accurately? There was a mole inside."

General Derek was furious and slammed his fist on the table twice after he finished speaking.

If the fact that there were worms in the military deliberately leaking Cen Li's whereabouts was enough to anger General Derek, then...

The fact that the mole was in their own house was even harder for General Derek to accept.

"The female soldier named Bora has confessed; he revealed all of this."

"He is Mihalyu's female servant."

Bora's rank was neither high nor low, and he had little presence in the military.

He was implicated in this matter, something General Derek hadn't initially expected.

Among the group of female insects that kidnapped the male insects, one of them confessed that Bora was the one who told them Cen Li's location.

Bora later admitted to this.

What bothered General Derek was that Bora was Mihalyu's mistress.

He had to think more.

General Derek asked Cen Li, "Do you know Bora?"

Cen Li shook his head. "Before this, I had never even heard of his name."

Just as Derek had predicted.

"That's strange. You have no grudge against Bora, so he has no reason to harm you."

"Ashel isn't the type to hold grudges, so there's no way Ashel could have caused this female soldier to harbor resentment."

Even though Derek wasn't entirely satisfied with Ash, he had to admit that Ash worked diligently and conscientiously in the military and wasn't the type to actively stir up trouble.

Derek had already guessed the most likely answer.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Mikhail is the prime suspect; he's always disliked you."

"It's possible he was involved in this."

The atmosphere in the Duke's mansion was unusually oppressive and somewhat frightening for the first time.

Derek told Duke Jolai everything and handed him Bora's confession as well.

"My lord, it's all in black and white; you'll see for yourself."

The confession clearly states that Bora admitted to revealing Cen Li's whereabouts.

After reading it, Duke Jolai's face darkened as he looked at Mihaly. "Bora is your concubine. How do you explain that?"
