Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

"One of our own?" Richard's interest was piqued again.

"Um……"

"Since we're on the same side...shouldn't we share resources? You wouldn't happen to have other ideas about me, would you?"

Yekaterin didn't reply; she realized that Richard's way of thinking was truly different from hers. But this only made her more concerned about Richard's thoughts.

The Duchess probed again:

"No one in the Kingdom of Kiel would give up the chance to become a fourth-order complete being to someone else. I can't understand why you're doing this..."

You should understand that 100 million Dior coins for a bottle of essence insect liquid is just an inflated price, right? This kind of thing is priceless! It will never circulate in the market.

Yekalin was still struggling with this generous gift.

Richard, however, remained neither humble nor arrogant:

"I have it now. Aren't I, Richard Charlemagne, from the Kingdom of Kiel? It's precisely because it's priceless that it's worth giving away. If you asked me for five hundred Dio coins, I couldn't even come up with that..."

The lie detector didn't beep, and Richard really can't come up with five hundred Dior coins right now...

Seeing how...stupid this guy was. He was just pretending to be a tycoon, but he couldn't even come up with five hundred Diors...

Yekaterin didn't know what to say:

"Do you think that by becoming my puppet husband, I won't harm you? The previous queen murdered the king before her... You don't think your marital relationship is as stable as those commoners, do you?"

Yekalin still looked earnest and patient.

Richard also played his cards openly:

"What does that prove? Are you thinking of me? From the day I figured it out, I knew you wouldn't hurt me."

What else can Yekalin say: This guy is not only an idiot, but also a love-struck fool?

She simply accepted it:

"Alright... I'll accept these essence insect sap. But if you don't reach the fourth rank, you can't back out!"

Richard nodded.

Having answered Yekaterin's question, it's now his turn to ask one:

"It's my turn to ask a question! Before I left, you said you'd answer my questions when I got back! Am I really just your puppet husband?"

There weren't that many dramatic and unexpected events.

Yekaterin had already prepared the answer:

"Of course not! You are definitely not just my puppet husband! I promise!"

There's nothing more to say!

The blue-white lie detector in the Duke's reception hall isn't just for show. There are no lies!

Now Yekalin has also revealed some of her own feelings.

But she was still very concerned about what Richard was thinking:

Richard, that guy! He went to such great lengths just to verify one of his questions?!

Moreover, both he and Govi ​​initially thought that he only possessed information about a few dozen liters of essence insect fluid.

Even though there was a suspicion that they were taking advantage of idiots, they tried their best to make up for it by giving away insects and the like.

But when Richard actually found hundreds of liters of the essence insect fluid... the shock! Combined with his absurd act of essentially giving it away for free.

What kind of brain does this guy have?! What is he thinking?! Does Richard really not value Dior like money?!

……

Yekaterin was not given time to continue brainstorming.

Richard pointed.

The teapot was now empty.

The remaining stock of green tea buds ultimately couldn't withstand Richard's rampage. That was it...

"leaf?"

"Um?"

Ignoring Richard's strange way of addressing her, Yekaterin gathered her thoughts. She needed to present her best self to him.

"The tea's gone... tsk, that's not my point. I wanted to ask if you have a way to get Sally to the Holy Knight Academy?"

Richard, of course, remembered all his promises. Besides, he was well aware of Sally's influence that night by the two insects.

When the young master brought up her affairs, Sally remained silent. A maid, of course, would follow the young master's orders…

Yekalin frowned.

She was originally planning to agree to all of Richard's demands...

But she truly hadn't expected that Richard's first request after giving her the essence insect fluid would cause her such a headache!

Yekaterin could only hesitate for a moment.

Organizational wording:

"I'll have someone buy you the green tea and insect-infused tea. It's just that getting Sally to the Holy See Knight Academy is a difficult matter..."

Seemingly fearing that Richard would misunderstand, Yekaterin did not choose to be the riddle teller.

She immediately began to explain:

"You know my situation, the August family's affairs in the Inner World. I can't say anything about it right now... Besides, even if you really send Sally in, she doesn't have noble status, she won't be able to stand on her own in the academy, she'll definitely be bullied..."

Hearing Yekalin's candor.

Richard understood.

Yekalin didn't deliberately sabotage Sally because of their rivalry that day... she was thinking entirely from the perspective of a maid.

"If you become a fourth-tier member, will you be able to regain your voice in the inner world? The August family must have some fourth-tier elders, right? How many?"

Seeing Richard, that emotionally dense, love-struck fool...

Their grasp of the situation was remarkably accurate.

Even though Yekalin knew his mind was very sharp in other areas, she was still a little surprised.

"We can definitely get some back. After all, a fourth-tier fully-formed human... even a woman, even a king, has to respect her."

"As for the fourth-tier old men of the August family... to be honest, I don't know. There are just too many collateral branches. But based on the annual resource allocation, I estimate there are about three fourth-tier immortals..."

Richard now understands the enemies he will face in the future.

Actually, there's something I have to say.

Richard had just been thinking about this in his mind:

I don't know if it's because we're siblings... but I think I'm just like my sister Astelle, inclined to solve problems in a simple and brutal way by killing people!

It's much easier to deal with the person who raises the question than to solve it! It's just that we didn't have much combat power before, so we were forced to use strategy to fight the enemy.

And now, they will soon have three high-end combatants at the fourth-tier complete level!

Govie! Yekaterin! Astelle!

If we just kill those three old fogies from the August family, all the problems will be solved!

Wait a moment……!

What kind of bullshit plan am I thinking!

Richard immediately snapped back to reality! He was cursing himself in his head!

Can violence solve problems? Am I getting arrogant? How could I even have such thoughts?!

"Little Chad, I really like your idea."

Asdale's voice rang directly in Richard's mind.

It seems she's nearby, since the Dream Insect's telepathic communication and connection have a five-meter distance limit.

"Was it your... sister who was influencing my thinking just now? How did I suddenly think of killing someone?"

Even if he couldn't read Asdale's mind, Richard could still do so by sending a telepathic message through the Dreamworm Lolita.

"Little Chad, how could you think of me like that? Aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing me? Although I do think it would be easier to just kill him..."

"Even if I did influence your thinking, it's all so that Sally can go to school sooner, and I quite like this little maid..."

After hearing his sister's confession, Richard understood that he could never have resorted to murder!

At the very least, we should try diplomacy first before resorting to force!
