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

The marriage matching bureau's insect was right in front of them, and even though the procedure for changing the female ruler was a bit cumbersome, it was completed quickly.

Looking at the clear blue sky outside, Ivan, who had just left the male insect's home, felt like he was in a dream.

It's too unreal, too fantastical.

Ashel felt the same way; the neatly formatted identity information on the terminal gave him a sense of reality.

Ashel froze completely while going through the procedures for becoming a female ruler.

The powerful ruler would actually do this...

He wasn't unaware of this possibility; he simply dared not delve into it.

I never expected it to actually happen.

He became the female ruler of the male.

Ashel was unwilling and resentful to become Cen Li's female servant at first, but he dared not show it and became silent as Cen Li used various excuses to punish him.

But this time, Ashel's eyes held a confusion he himself didn't understand.

What's wrong with him...?

Ashel felt a surge of surprise and joy.

Ashel felt like she was acting really strange...

"A powerful ruler?"

Upon hearing the female soldier's voice, Cen Li looked over.

Ashel stood there, staring at him intently, her eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

The female insect rarely stared at him like that, making Cen Li feel that Ashel must have something extremely important to say, so he subconsciously held his breath to listen.

What could it be?

"...Will your parents blame you?"

He did not have a distinguished background, and his family was not comparable to that of the male; he was not gentle and considerate, and could be described as dull and uninteresting; he did not have a soft body, and was the hard "plank" that male insects disdained most, which was completely unattractive in bed.

At the moment he called out to the lord, Ashel hadn't figured out what he wanted to say, but he knew that what he really wanted to ask wasn't actually that question.

Ashel was probably referring to the matter of turning him into a queen.

Given how much Admiral Derek dotes on Cen Li, he probably won't hold it against him; a slight reprimand is more likely.

Cen Li didn't care much about this.

"Don't worry, Father-in-law won't make things difficult for you."

"……Um."

Ash lowered his eyes, staring at the tips of his and the lord's shoes, lost in thought.

……

That evening, there was a gentle knock on Cen Li's door.

"My lord, are you asleep?"

The answer was, of course, no; Ash could see the light shining through the crack in the door as he looked down.

"you……"

The door was pushed open, and Cen Li was wondering what Asher wanted to see him about so late.

As a result, he saw a female insect, "disheveled," standing in front of his door.

"Why are you dressed like that...??"

The female insects were dressed very scantily.

It was almost a thin layer of black gauze; a casual glance would easily reveal the flesh color underneath, making the attempt to cover up the truth only more obvious.

Her slender waist looked like it could be encircled by one hand; it wasn't the weak, limp body described in novels that would collapse with a gentle push, but rather a physique that possessed strength honed through regular exercise.

The muscles were firm but not exaggerated, thinly covering this youthful and beautiful body, with every line as exquisite and powerful as if they were finely sculpted.

Coupled with an expression of complete ignorance, it seems even more alluring.

Do you even know what you're doing?!

Dressed like this, it appeared in front of a male insect.

The first thought that popped into Cen Li's mind was—to seduce.

Is Ashel trying to seduce him?

This word doesn't seem to fit Ash's usual image, so I'm sorry, Cen Li can't easily associate this word with Ash.

But if that's not the case, how can Ashel's current behavior be explained?

Cen Li wanted to question Ashier, but when he caught a glimpse of the other man's tightly clenched hands and his eyes avoiding his gaze, he seemed uneasy, afraid, and somewhat at a loss.

Cen Li abruptly stopped the barrage of accusations he was about to unleash.

"Were you forced to dress like this?"

Perhaps it was Admiral Derek, or Duke Jolay, who requested Ashley to become close to him?

Upon hearing this, Ashley finally raised his head, but his eyes darted away when he met Cen Li's gaze, and he stammered slightly as he spoke.

No, that's not it.

"...I did it voluntarily."

That would be even stranger.

As Ash felt the cold air seep through the tiny holes in his clothes and spread throughout his body, just as he imagined the lord's surprised question as he pushed open the door.

"Don't you like this?"

"Uh, what?"

Cen Li almost thought he had misheard.

"Don't you like me dressed like this?"

Cen Li's gaze inevitably lingered on Asher again; the clothes the female soldier had chosen couldn't even cover up anything.

Ashel didn't notice that the male insect's gaze had become unfocused, and he felt somewhat disappointed when he didn't receive a reply from Cen Li.

Ashel thought that since the male ruler had promoted him to the position of female ruler, he must have some subtle thoughts about him.

It seems he was overthinking it.

Ash was dressed like this for the first time, originally intending to please the male master. Since Cen Li had never touched him, Ash reflected that he might be too dull and boring.

So, he found some help from experienced people online.

Unexpectedly, I was rejected.

Ashel stood there, his clothes as thin as cicada wings covering his body. In the silent attitude of the male insect, he slowly tasted a bit of bitter embarrassment.

That was incredibly embarrassing.

It's too difficult for insects to endure.

Ash's heart clenched; all he wanted was to get out of there as soon as possible.

Ash felt that even the gazes of the male insects lingering on him were mocking his overestimation of his abilities and his unrealistic affections.

Just as Ash turned to leave, Cen Li's gaze swept across the female insect's face, keenly sensing his dejected mood.

"etc,"

Ash's hand was grabbed, and he froze.

Ashel's impact tonight was too great. Cen Li belatedly realized that he could discern some different meanings from the conversation between the two insects.

The female insect's somewhat blunt words, clumsy expression, and hasty departure...

Cen Li spoke without thinking, just blurting it out.

"You want to have sex with me?"

Humiliation Value +999

After these words were spoken, all was silent.

The two insects looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ash was the first to succumb and lower his head, his exposed skin burning red as if it had been scorched by fire.

The most obvious spot is behind the ear, which feels like a branding iron burning hot.

This, this—

That deadpan mouth!

Cen Li was initially embarrassed, but two seconds later he was stunned by the good news broadcast by the system.

The way he looked at Ashel had changed.

All of the previous events seem to be connected in some way.

Ashel felt extremely uncomfortable under the lord's gaze, yet he couldn't refute the lord's words in the slightest.

Isn't that exactly what he was thinking?

Ash admitted that she had been despicable, using such low-class means and dressing up like this just to win the favor of male insects.

He transformed into the very person he had previously looked down upon.

But Ashel didn't regret it.

He stared intently at Cen Li.

"Then, Your Majesty, are you willing?"
