As soon as Cyril came out of the interrogation room, his subordinates told him that His Majesty had summoned him.

He knew what His Majesty wanted to ask, so he walked over without stopping.

When Nice went in to report, he straightened his clothes and pressed down his hat, trying not to look like he was just trying to please the Insect Emperor.

After a while, Nice invited him in.

Before Cyril was stationed at the border, he was a frequent visitor to the palace. He even lived in the palace for several years when he was a child. It can be said that before Archibald was born, he had always enjoyed the treatment of the crown prince, but now... well, it seems to be about the same.

Inside the palace, the Insect Emperor did not sit on the throne as usual, but stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

He had his back to Cyril, making it impossible for Cyril to guess what he was feeling.

But the oppressive feeling in the air made it impossible for the insect to ignore it.

"What did he say?" The Insect Emperor suddenly spoke with a slightly cold voice.

Xi Ruier sorted out his thoughts and said, "He said a lot of nonsense, but to sum it up, he hasn't lived enough."

He knew what he and Old Norton had said, and the Insect Emperor might have already known it before he came over. There were only two reasons why he asked him.

Want to know his opinion and complain.

Before Cyril arrived, he was already prepared for the Insect Emperor's long speech.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Insect Emperor smiled coldly, his eyes filled with sharpness and mockery: "Hasn't he lived long enough?"

"Since our maternal grandfather's generation, he has been a senior official of the empire. When it came to my maternal father, he was trusted even more, and his power rose to the extreme."

The Insect Emperor's voice was even colder. "When it came to me, although I didn't give him power over the entire empire, I gave him the position of Chief Archon. Even if he didn't achieve anything, I wouldn't let another Insect replace him. This is a treatment that even my uncle didn't have."

"Cyril, compared to other bugs, isn't his life smooth and glorious enough? What else does he want? Does he want my place?"

As soon as the Insect Emperor finished speaking, Cyril had to interrupt him: "Your Majesty, Norton is indeed hateful, but he has no intention of seeking the throne."

What would Old Norton have to offer to fight the Insect Emperor? His head?

Although Cyril deeply hated Old Norton's coveting of Lanin, Old Norton must not be accused of plotting to seize the throne, otherwise the emperor's suspicion would spread like a plague throughout the empire.

The first to be affected will be his paternal father, who has great power and royal blood.

He remembered what his father had once said to him, saying that His Majesty intended to give up the throne to him.

These words are more of a test than a true concession.

The emperor is speaking his heart to you, and if you take it seriously, you will be dead soon.

Cyril has always been very rational. No matter how good the Insect Emperor is to him, he will not treat him as his real cousin, but he will also express his closeness to him in some form.

For example, sometimes he speaks bluntly, can be sarcastic in person, and even discusses his relationship with the Insect Queen Aiyatu with the Insect Emperor.

The Insect Emperor usually looks unhappy or helpless, but he has never punished Cyril.

This also means that Cyril has never crossed his bottom line.

When the emperor likes you, if you give him half of the snack you have eaten, he will feel that you care about him.

When he hates you, no matter how much you do to please him, he will only hate you more.

The Insect Emperor glanced at Cyril and saw through his little thoughts clearly. After all, he was the one who raised him, so he was still a little naive when it came to playing tricks.

"Well, as you said, he had no intention of disloyalty and just wanted to survive. However, the fact that he attempted to abduct male insects, colluded with foreign races, and conducted taboo experiments is unchangeable."

The danger in the Insect Emperor's eyes grew even stronger. "In view of his hard work and contributions in assisting three generations of Insect Emperors, I will grant him death. The Kara family will not be involved, and his children will no longer be able to stay in the Imperial Capital Star."

These words may seem kind, but they are very unreasonable.

To the outside world, old Norton would never die in this name. He had to cover it up. Otherwise, if a dignified consul did such a bad thing, the credibility of the empire would plummet.

But the insects who should know how old Norton died will still know that the punishment given by the Insect Emperor is so light, which only shows one attitude, that is, he will not care about the fate of old Norton's children and the Kara family.

Otherwise, based on what old Norton did, the Insect Emperor could just punish them more severely and then make it clear that the matter ends here.

Even if Bie Chong has a grudge against old Norton, he will not dare to act rashly. At most, he will make their lives more difficult, but he will not harm their lives.

But the Insect Emperor didn't want to leave them any chance of survival.

Whether it is the Yeselanlin family who want to crush the Kara family into the mud, or the Terebos family who are angry because old Norton dared to touch the male insect of their family, neither of them will let go of the Kara family and old Norton's descendants.

Since we won't let it go, we might as well do things more drastically, such as cutting the weeds at their roots.

Of course, this is also what they speculated the Insect Emperor would do.

They are two invisible knives in the hands of the Insect Emperor.

Now, Cyril was surprised by the Insect Emperor's decision, but he would not feel sorry for the insects of the Kara family.

There might be innocent people among them, but as members of the tribe, how could they not have noticed Old Norton making such a big move? But the fact that no one came to report the news was already telling.

Most of the insects in the Kara family are not loyal to the Insect Emperor or even the entire empire.

Perhaps a small number of insects do not agree with old Norton, but it is their own relatives who will die in the future, so how can they not feel resentment?

Cyril saw clearly that the Insect Emperor had feelings for old Norton. If old Norton had surrendered to the Insect Emperor at this time and said a few words of regret, the Insect Emperor would not have been so ruthless.

But old Norton was old and confused, and he couldn't think of these things. He just said that he wanted to live, which really made people angry.

Cyril couldn't guess why old Norton was like this. Even if he didn't think about the Kara family, he had to think about his own children. Or maybe he was selfish by nature, but he just concealed it well on weekdays.

If he and Lan Yin had a few insect cubs, they would have given up everything to prevent the children from suffering like this.

"Are you thinking about him?" The Insect Emperor asked suddenly.

Cyril met his deep eyes. Although he was not afraid of him, he could still feel the oppression of the 3S female insect.

He was stunned for a moment by the Insect Emperor's words. When he realized that the "he" was referring to Lan Yin, the Insect Emperor spoke again.

"I'll have him come see me."

Cyril's heart sank. He knew that Lan Yin was very resistant to entering the palace, and did not like getting along with the Insect Emperor. She even said bad things about the Insect Emperor to him, such as "The older you get, the more you like young and beautiful people", "If I were ugly, no matter how high my rank was, this lecherous old Deng would definitely not even look at me", "He must be very perverted and likes to play stepmother, no, stepfather literature".

No matter how calm and composed Cyril was, he would be broken by his words.

Now, his eyebrows raised, a smile playing on his lips: "Your Majesty, if you call His Excellency here, then my father will also come to visit you."

The Insect Emperor only said quietly, "But I want to see him..."

The smile on Cyril's face almost disappeared.

The atmosphere in the palace changed instantly.
