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

"Dear Major General, I heard that the bug from yesterday's matchmaking game visited your base?"

Linas rushed over immediately upon hearing the news, eager to see Ashel's distraught state.

but,

Linus's scrutinizing gaze lingered on Ashel's unchanging face. Ashel merely lifted his eyelids to glance at him, but Linus found no trace of the resentment he was looking for in Ashel's eyes.

What's going on?

Is Ashel just too good at hiding his true feelings?

"Lord Cen Li is probably already working on marrying another female insect."

"Ashel, I sympathize with your situation, but you know, this is something all married female insects go through."

"Cheer up, it's not a big deal."

Linas noticed that Ashel was looking at him with an unusually strange expression.

This isn't right.

His intuition told him that perhaps he had overlooked something.

Linus could barely maintain his smile. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

No, of course it's wrong.

None of what Linas said overlapped with Ashel's current situation.

"I think you've misunderstood something."

Linus paused slightly, unconsciously frowned, and looked at Ashel with a probing gaze.

"My master has no intention of marrying any other females."

"Um……?!"

Linus's pupils slowly contracted.

"How could this be?!"

"Ashel, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Does Your Excellency, male insect, intend to never marry any other female insects? Are you going to be the only one? That's wishful thinking!"

Any insect that hears this would probably instinctively react the same way as Linus.

This is indeed... hard for insects to believe.

But it is the truth.

Ashel met Linas's suspicious gaze directly, and felt a sense of relief wash over him, as if a stone had been dropped.

"Everything I said is true."

"My master has paid the fine, and no more insects will come knocking on the door to pressure me into marriage."

Linus's eyes widened, and his usual proud demeanor vanished. He was as shocked and incredulous as any female insect who heard the news.

"You mean, the male insect voluntarily pays the fine just so he won't marry another female—?!"

Ashel nodded honestly.

Verbal words alone may not be enough to completely convince the insects.

Linus's face was filled with disbelief.

Asher knew, of course, that the female soldier had originally intended to come and make a fool of him.

For some reason, Ashel wasn't in a hurry to go to the training room; a secret desire to show off had arisen in his heart.

"Moreover, the male ruler also changed my identity information."

Linus: "?"

Ashel's lips curled into a smile, and reason told Linas that what he was about to hear was definitely not what he wanted to hear.

But Ashel had already opened the terminal, and the light screen appeared.

With Linus's excellent eyesight, he had already seen the answer.

Female monarch? ! !

Is Ashel now a queen?!

Not long ago, Linas even made a veiled criticism of Ashel's status as a female servant.

Unexpectedly, he has now transformed into a female ruler.

Linas was hit too hard today.

Without a doubt, the expression on his face must be extremely stiff at this moment.

Linus had never wanted to leave this place as much as he did now; he felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy.

Ashel actually received a male insect's promise of lifelong commitment.

"That's really... congratulations."

Linus didn't know how he managed to say those words.

Anyway, he must have looked extremely disheveled when he left.

Cen Li was also summoned back to the Duke's mansion.

Just as he expected, his decision was met with strong opposition from Derek and Jolay.

However, Cen Li's attitude was firm, and they had no choice but to comply.

Derek, somewhat exasperated, snorted angrily, "You're being way too nice to that female servant, oh no, now that female ruler, Ashel!"

Cen Li remained silent.

Derek had no idea why the bug, which had been perfectly fine before, had suddenly become "abnormal."

Few male insects would make such a shocking decision as Cen Li.

Derek still felt a little unwilling.

"Your father and I originally planned to find you the best female insect to be your queen, but you've gone and done it without telling us first."

Derek narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous, "Could it be that Ashe encouraged you?"

Now his insect offspring are being too kind and indulgent towards Ashel.

In Derek's opinion, Ashel was not qualified to be the queen of his insect offspring.

Cen Li's behavior was too difficult to explain, and Derek couldn't help but speculate that Ashel might have been involved.

After all, having a male insect that only has one insect of its own is too tempting for a female insect.

But Derek had clearly forgotten something at this moment. If the male insect didn't have this idea, the female insect's few words would hardly sway him.

"Of course not, Father."

"This was all my idea."

Derek looked at the insect's undisguised expression and finally couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that the established outcome could not be changed.

……

Tonight, there was another knock on Cen Li's door.

After standing in front of the door for a while, Cen Li hesitated before opening it.

The first thing you see is a soft yet very warm nightgown.

Cen Li lowered his hand from the door, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, but there seemed to be a slight disappointment in his eyes that he himself did not notice.

Last night, Ashel wore clothes recommended by the female insects on the StarNet, but the male lord didn't touch him, so Ashel dared to guess that the male lord probably didn't like those kinds of indecent clothes.

"My lord, would you like my services tonight?"

Ashel lowered his eyelids slightly and asked in a low voice.

If it weren't for the slightly red tips of her ears, Cen Li would have secretly wondered if the female general had changed her personality.

The gazes falling on him seemed to be scrutinizing him. Before the male lord could respond, Ashel couldn't help but curl his fingertips, feeling that he was not much better off now than when he was wearing that outfit that made the insects feel embarrassed.

Finally, I heard the voice of the male insect from ahead.

"Come in."

Ashel then carefully looked up, and the male ruler turned his body slightly to the side.

He composed himself and slowed his pace as he walked over.

Waited one second, two seconds,

I didn't hear the notification tone I was looking for.

Cen Li frowned, deep in thought.

What went wrong? This shouldn't be happening.

Why is it different from last night?

Ashel moved slowly like a tortoise, his experience in this area was clearly pitifully small, and he was still pondering what to do next.

He hesitated for a moment... when he was only one step away from Cen Li, his arm was suddenly grabbed.

The voice of the powerful ruler behind him was faint and distant.

"How do you intend to serve me?"
