EROS [Zerg]

After finishing his patrol duties for the day, Eros was about to go upstairs to relieve the female soldiers on the floor above when he faintly heard a few wails as he passed the third floor.

The third floor, Kenya's son's room.

The female insect stopped in her tracks, her brow furrowing; she knew perfectly well what was happening inside.

Years of experience told him that female insects should refrain from meddling in the affairs of male insects, but the faint smell of blood in the air made his body tremble.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Your Excellency Kenya?"

The noise inside grew louder, along with the sound of things collapsing. Eros banged on the door, and the angry shouts of the male insects came from inside.

Eros felt something hit the door panel from outside and had a bad feeling, so he immediately kicked the door lock shut.

With a snapping sound, Eros delivered another kick, violently breaking open the heavy wooden door. A figure stumbled out, immediately hiding behind Eros upon seeing him: "Help, help me, please!"

Eros looked down at the female insect that had run out. Her silver hair was disheveled and scattered over her shoulders, the ends of which were stained pale pink with blood. What was even more shocking to the insect was the flesh on the female insect's legs that had been rolled up, strand by strand, one end connected to the body and the other dragging on the ground.

Eros shielded the female insects behind him, his gaze cautiously sweeping across the male insects' room: Kenya was sitting on the luxurious sofa in the room, with several female insects and sub-females standing around him, each of the female insects clutching several blood-dripping weapons in their claws.

"Your Excellency Kenya, what are you doing?" Eros tried his best to control his facial expression, preventing it from distorting with excessive anger.

"The male lord is only punishing a female servant, what does it have to do with you, a female soldier?" At this moment, a female sub-female nestled in the arms of the Kenyan male jumped out and scolded Eros for his recklessness, saying that she would report him to the male insect protection association.

How male insects treat their females is their own business.

Eros's face was grim. He looked at the bloodstains on the ground and suddenly felt that the figure that had just crawled toward him was very familiar.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the female insect clinging to his leg behind him:

"...Harris?!"

Harris was almost completely naked, the only thing covering his body was his long, silver-gray hair that reached his legs.

"Please, save me! I don't want to stay here! Please, Eros, please, please save me again!" Harris was practically glued half his body to Eros's legs.

Kenya burst into laughter at Harris's pathetic state, his gaze towards Eros filled with lewdness: "If you want to save him, you can do it in his place."

Harris trembled at the words. He was afraid that Eros would abandon him, and he was also afraid that Eros would be foolish enough to be tricked by Kenya. He pulled his paws back and held Eros's legs tightly: "Don't go."

Eros frowned, his disgust undisguised: "Harris is not your servant."

"His master gave him to the Kenyan male, so the Kenyan male can do whatever he wants with him. It's none of your business!" Several Kenyan female servants approached Eros step by step: "It's your honor that your master has taken a liking to you. Why don't you hurry up and go serve the male insect?"

Eros didn't want to cause trouble with the male insect. Looking at Harris, who was covered in wounds, he just wanted to get him treated as soon as possible. The skin on his neck where the suppressor was attached had been burned black, showing how much pain he had just suffered.

"Kenya male, this is the Sixth Star System. The Sixth Star System has laws protecting the safety of female insects. Whether they are nobles or commoners, female rulers, female servants or even female slaves, they are all protected by law. If male insects violate the law, they will also be punished."

Eros picked up Harris from the ground, draped his military jacket over him, and said in an unusually cold and gloomy voice, "I suppose Kenyan prince doesn't want to be taken away for interrogation on his very first day in the Sixth Star System?"

“Eros!” Kenya’s face twisted in anger as he shouted, “You’re nothing but a lowly prostitute. Who knows what underhanded tricks you used to get here? You’d better understand that a male is a male, and males always have privileges.”

"Even if I take care of you right now, strip you naked and find a bunch of insectoids, or even kill you, the Empire's punishment for me will only be a fine. I have plenty of money, but I want to see if you have that many lives!"

Eros's brow furrowed with increasing hostility, his voice grew colder, and his words seemed to carry the sharp edge of a blade aimed at the heart of his enemy:

“Kenya male, since you think so, you might as well give it a try. If I die one day, I will definitely take you with me before I go to see the Insect God.”

"It's just a matter of life and death. Eros was born a prostitute and doesn't have a single scoundrel by his side. He's not afraid of the Empire coming to claim his life."

After saying that, Eros led the blood-soaked Harris out of the villa where the male insects lived without looking back.

Although the villa is equipped with top-of-the-line medical facilities, all of these medical resources are reserved for male insects; female insects are not allowed to use even a single drug here.

But the nearest hospital requires at least two stars of flight time to reach.

Left with no other option, Eros could only take Harris to his duty room. He took out some spare medicine from a drawer in the duty room and applied it to Harris's torn flesh.

"You can rest here for now. I'll try to find a doctor to stitch up your wound."

“No need.” Harris looked up at Eros: “Healing me would be like offending the male insects. No insect would be willing to do that, so don’t make things difficult for them.”

“If you don’t make things difficult for them, your legs will be ruined.” Eros’s voice was cold and hard, clearly still not recovered from his anger.

Harris, wearing Eros's coat, sat on the edge of the bed looking at the erect female insect: "So this is what you look like when you're angry."

The coat was stained with blood again, just like when the two insects first met.

"Eros, aren't you afraid of offending the male insect?" Harris finally asked, voicing his concern.

"I'm afraid, but I'd rather die than live in fear for the rest of my life."

"No..." Harris's claws stretched out in mid-air, "Don't die, there must be other ways. Kenya is just a B-grade male insect, he can't control everything."

"Yes, Kenya is only a B-level male insect. Above him are A-level and S-level insects. And there's an S+ level male insect offspring here. If he really wants to target me, I can go find other male insects."

"Other males?" Harris asked, puzzled. He had hardly seen any males native to the Sixth Star System here.

"Grand Duke Caveno once said that he wanted me to be a volunteer for his son, and that if I asked him for his protection, he might agree."
