EROS [Zerg]

Ina arrived at the reception room on the third floor of the Sepoliu Castle, where the insect he was looking for was already waiting.

“Your Majesty the Insect King.” When Feather saw His Majesty walk straight to the head seat of the long table in the reception room, he immediately gave Eros a look.

"May Your Majesty the Insect King be forever glorious." Eros placed his claws on his chest and bowed deeply.

"You are Eros?" Ina sat in the main seat, looking at the female insect who was bowing respectfully in front of her. Her platinum curly hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and she really looked just like the insect in her memory.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ina looked at the female insect named Eros in front of her. She had golden hair, purple eyes, and handsome, bright features that were also gentle and humble. She was a natural beauty.

“You really surprise me.” Ina looked at the humble and respectful female insect in front of him. The female insect’s features were almost identical to Evanson’s, but the insect’s body was more slender and shorter than his insect offspring. The insect’s temperament was also gentle and obedient, which was completely different from his Evanson.

Realizing this, Ina's brow relaxed considerably, and her gaze towards Eros held a hint of disdain:

Seeing you is like seeing my little bug cub when he first entered military school.

Eros didn't react much to the Insect King's words, only maintaining a smile.

There are too many people who compare him to Evanson, usually with the aim of humiliating him.

“It is my honor, but so far I have not heard of any military academy student who can compare to Lieutenant General Evanson,” Eros replied, looking down.

Ina chuckled, looked up at the female insect standing in front of her, and gestured for Feather to bring a chair for Eros: "I summoned you this time to learn about that S+ level male."

Eros hesitated for a moment as he looked at the chair in front of him, then cautiously glanced at the Insect King before him.

“You deserve a seat here for being able to talk to me about male insects. Please sit down.” Ina gestured for Eros to sit down.

"Your Majesty is too kind." Eros bowed and sat down without further hesitation.

Ina looked at the female insect in front of her with eyes like swords: "Eros, I have a few questions to ask you, and you can't hide them from me."

“My first question is about the male insect. I want you to tell me everything you know.” Ina held up a claw-like finger.

Eros told everything he knew, explaining that the male insect offspring had been brought back from the Blue Star Thief by other female insects.

The Insect King nodded after listening, but he was clearly not very interested.

"Okay, the second question is, do you remember your male father and female father?"

Eros knew that the Insect King wanted to know who the male and female insects were that could produce an S+ level male insect offspring, but he could not answer.

He had no memory of his parents, as if he had appeared in this world out of thin air. The only clue was the blonde female insect who said "Eros" in a dream long ago.

“I can’t remember anything at all, Your Majesty the Insect King. I’m telling the truth.”

"Can't you remember even a little bit?"

"Yes, my current memories start from two years ago; I have no memories of anything before that."

"Amnesia?" Ina asked, "Where do your earliest memories begin?"

"..." Eros's expression turned slightly grim. He looked at the Insect King hesitantly and said, "The auction will be held at the Pluto Trading Building later."

"An underground auction house?" Ina frowned as she listened. "You were once an auction item?"

"How did you pass the selection process for the First Military Academy?"

“I have a health certificate and letters of recommendation, and I have no criminal record.”

"My enrollment procedures were all legal and compliant."

After speaking, Eros projected his information onto the desktop using the quantum computer.

Ina flipped through it casually a few times, and the look of disdain on her face gradually faded: "Quite excellent."

Ina stood up and walked to Eros, gently stroking his face with her paw: "Originally, I was only interested in that S+ grade male insect cub, but now I'm also somewhat interested in you."

Eros felt a sudden tension, his body tensed and stiffened, and a voice in his mind told him that the female insect in front of him was dangerous.

"My third question is, do you know Brandt?"

"I know him; he's my teacher."

"Do you know Kowe from the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology?"

"I had the pleasure of meeting you."

"Do you know Major En'er?"

Eros paused, looking at the Insect King before him with a cautious and suspicious gaze, unsure whether to speak, but he quickly lowered his head: "Please forgive my rudeness and vulgarity, Your Majesty."

“You know him.” Ina took in the surprise and doubt in the female insect’s eyes, then lowered his head and flipped through the documents Eros had placed on the table with his fingertips. “Your letter of recommendation was written by him.”

“Yes.” Eros felt immense pressure at that moment. He felt as if he were a criminal awaiting trial, and the insect queen judging him was His Majesty the Insect Emperor, whose power was even greater than that of the highest-ranking judge in the empire.

"Was it you, the female insect who logged into the Evanson account on the virtual training field more than a year ago?"

“I don’t understand, Your Majesty, I am not Lieutenant General Evanson, how did I log into his account? I have my own account.” Eros was wary, but thanks to his excellent attention, he remembered Brandt’s instructions.

"Didn't Brandt tell you to shut up?"

"Teacher?" Eros looked puzzled. "Your Majesty, although Teacher Brandt is a teacher I greatly respect, I had only known him for a short time at that time and was unaware of some things I had not encountered before."

"It's all too coincidental, Eros." The Insect King's face was filled with hidden anger. His eyes were fixed on Eros's face, trying to see if he was guilty or something else, but he found nothing.

The pale, inorganic, cool eyes struck my mind like a spell.

"Oh my God."

Ina turned his face away, covering his face with his arm, revealing his haggard appearance. After a long while, he looked back at those violet eyes. Although they were calm, they were full of life, unlike his Evanson eyes.

Thinking of her insect cub's lifeless eyes, Ina felt heartbroken.

"One last question, how far do you want to climb?"

"Your Majesty, I wish to reach a point commensurate with my abilities."

"How far are you capable?"

"Please forgive the arrogance of a young female insect, Your Majesty, I will not stop here."

Ina looked at Eros: "You speak so calmly, with such ambition, as if it were the most natural thing in the world."

“If this isn’t just a perfunctory response, I believe you won’t have any regrets when you meet the Insect God.”

"Your Majesty?" Eros didn't understand. They were supposed to be discussing male insects with him, so why were most of the questions directed at him?

"Do you have any other questions?" Ina asked.

“You summoned me here to inquire about matters concerning Lord Xiongzi, didn’t you?” Eros cautiously reminded him.

“I’ve asked all the questions I wanted to know, and I’ve already approved the Eastlan family’s adoption of him. And you, little female insect, there aren’t many female insects in this world who can enjoy the benefits of being with a male insect. The Eastlan family’s only son, Yaqiong, is a very outstanding gentleman. Perhaps he will take you in as a female servant.” A playful glint flashed in Ina’s eyes: “I think Kowe would be very happy to see this scene.”

Eros was momentarily at a loss for words, but fortunately, an insect came to his rescue.

“Your Majesty, your joke is going to frighten Eros. Major Cardian, the wife of Lady Ajahn, is a friend of Eros,” Feather interjected at the right moment. “Admiral Kowe is already waiting outside.”
