EROS [Zerg]

"You were lying just now, weren't you?"

Eros wiped his hands clean, composed himself, and prepared to continue working when he suddenly heard a sweet, soft voice: "You clearly don't like Kenya, yet you still deceive him."

Eros looked around in confusion but didn't see a single insect.

"It's me! I'm here!"

The sound was coming from the long table.

Eros looked down and saw that it was a blond male baby.

"...Princess Elie?!"

Eli Caveno looked closely at Eros and was once again surprised to find that the female insect in front of him looked remarkably like her male parent.

Ellie had only met his female father a few times, but he always remembered that the cold and hard female ruler, as described by the male father, would bend down and gently stroke his hair every time she came home, saying things he couldn't understand.

No wonder the male father paid so much attention to this female insect.

Ellie could still tell that the female insect in front of him was different from the male insect; at least the male insect wouldn't use sweet talk to the male insect like he did.

“You were lying just now, weren’t you?” Ellie looked up at Eros.

Eros looked down at the little boy, his gentle eyebrows twitching slightly: "I am 100% sincere."

"So you'll go to sleep with him?" Ellie frowned. "Then aren't you deceiving Card too?"

Eros froze, then pursed his lips and bent down to look at the little boy, Eli: "Will you tell Ka?"

Ellie pursed her lips and tilted her head back: "Are you afraid I'll report you?"

“So Your Highness was eavesdropping the whole time.” Eros’s lips curled into a smile as he casually tucked a stray strand of golden hair behind his ear. “But what good would it do for Prince Eli to tell Cameron about this?”

Ellie said matter-of-factly, "He won't like you anymore, and you can't fool him anymore."

Eros's smile remained unchanged: "And then?"

"And then...?" Ellie was taken aback. And then...? Shouldn't this female insect be filled with regret and extremely sad?

Elie looked up at the smile on Eros's face, unable to detect a trace of tension or sadness on the female insect's face, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you like Kama the most?"

"Wouldn't you be very sad if he hated you?"

When Eros heard this explanation, he felt that these little males were all very naive.

"But is it possible that Kamah likes me instead of me liking Kamah?" Eros pretended to think, tilting his head slightly. "If you tell Kamah the truth, Kamah will be the one who gets hurt. If Kamah asks me, I will still say that I like him."

“Then, Your Highness Eli, think about it, who would be the hated insect back then?” Eros blinked mischievously. “Would it be me?”

Ellie was a clever little male and immediately realized that Eros was threatening him. If he told Camus about it, it wouldn't be Eros who would be hated in the end, but Ellie himself.

“You’re such a bad bug!” Ellie thought Eros was extremely cunning. He had no intention of listening to his father and taking this female bug as his volunteer.

Ellie had only come to see what kind of female insect the male father had chosen for him as a volunteer. Unexpectedly, he overheard the conversation between the Kenyan male and Eros, which allowed him to see the true nature of the female insect clearly at once.

Ellie didn't want the female insect and was about to complain to the male father.

Seeing Ellie leave, Eros breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt a strange worry: what should he do if Ellie really went back and told Kama?

What should I do……

What should I do...?

Eros couldn't understand why he was worried. Was it because he was worried that Commander Enel would be disappointed that he had blocked Kamohiro's communications?

Completely baffled, Eros shook his head helplessly: "I just can't figure it out..."

"Are my insect offspring bothering you?"

A gentle, deep voice sounded in front of Eros. Eros looked up and saw that Grand Duke Caven was standing in front of his table.

Eros thought to himself, "Oh no, could it be that Ellie, the little boy, went to his father to complain?"

“Grand Duke Caveno.” Eros immediately concealed his surprise and resumed his smiling demeanor: “Princess Elie is very lovely and has not bothered me at all.”

Upon hearing this answer, the handsome, blond male insect seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.

“Oh, that’s great. Ellie just told me he wanted you to be his volunteer.”

"Princess Elijah is a volunteer?" Eros thought he had misheard. His head felt like it had been hit by a giant melon falling from the sky, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, a bug caught me, preventing me from plunging headfirst into the exquisite pastries in front of me.

Grand Duke Cavon grabbed Eros's arm: "It seems this news is still too sudden for you."

"Why?" Eros was very confused. Just now, the little boy Eli had called him a bad bug, so why did he suddenly want him to be his volunteer?

No... Could it be because I angered Ellie just now, and he wants to take me with him to teach him a lesson?

Eros's expression grew increasingly serious as he thought about it. He raised his head and, forcing himself to remain calm, asked the male insect before him, "Grand Duke Caveno, could it be that little male Ellie has misspoke?"

“How could an insect like me be a volunteer for little Ellie?” Eros wanted to give another example: “Lord Kenya just invited me…!”

Grand Duke Caven interrupted Eros, his voice still gentle: "So you're prepared to continue down this path of depravity?"

Eros was speechless for a moment. He did not want to fall into depravity; he only wanted to live his life quietly.

Such a simple and pure wish cannot be spoken casually in a society where the status of men and women is so different.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Eros's face, Grand Duke Kavenor slowly comforted the little female insect in front of him: "Although there are many A-level female insects and even S-level female insects for me to choose from, I support Elie's choice. He said that the first time he saw you, it reminded him of his deceased female father."

“A male insect that grows up without the care of a female father will inevitably feel something missing. If you are willing to help, that would be best. If you are not willing, I cannot force you.”

From their first meeting at the entrance of Xiongcheng Academy, Duke Cavenor left Eros with the impression that he was a gentlemanly male insect with his own independent thoughts.

Although Eros didn't know if it was a male insect in disguise, Grand Duke Caveno didn't make him feel afraid of being rejected.

“I’m very sorry, I just want to live a peaceful life.” Eros shook his head: “The Empire has no shortage of females better than me.”
