Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

"You don't like eating insect people? I thought you shared the same hobby as Lord Asderon."

Richard was at a loss for words.

In my memory, my sister did tell me that in the inner world, we could only eat insect-people, while fresh insect and beast meat was only available outside the walls...

As Asdalon's suitor, Julia obviously knew his personal preferences and such.

She is essentially making up for the misunderstanding she had with Richard. It even includes a kind of emotional compensation for almost killing Asderon's brother.

Julia continued talking to herself:

"But even if you don't like it, eating high-energy, meat-based foods is very helpful for recovery after a serious illness. I'll bring that birdman over for you in a bit..."

"Cough...cough! Julia, you can't use my men from New Rome to make soup!"

Louis reminded the guy, who was already having some strange thoughts because of his romantic obsession.

Julia clearly wasn't buying it:

"Louis! It was because of your men that Richard was in danger. Such incompetence deserves more than death! What's wrong with punishing him by removing his wings?"

Julia, who is usually so gentle, would actually say something like that.

Richard was numb upon hearing this. He knew that seemingly gentle people could be terrifying when they went mad.

The royal family members, on the other hand, were used to it; they naturally knew what kind of personality Julia had.

However, Louis would not compromise:

"One thing at a time! I will punish him when he does something wrong. You shouldn't interfere with how I deal with my subordinates!"

These words are undeniably heavy.

Even if members of the royal family interact harmoniously and courteously in their daily lives, everyone is mindful of boundaries when it comes to matters involving their authority.

Julia also softened her stance:

"My apologies, but I can pay you the corresponding Dio Coins to buy those birdman's wings. What do you think?"

"Hiss~"

Richard's mind raced with anxiety. How could things have turned out this way?

As expected. So, the older sister has yandere traits, and the people who like her are also yanderes or something?

And Richard couldn't listen anymore:

"I never said I wanted to eat insect people..."

Seeing how sensible his little brother was, Louis now knew how to respond:

"See, Julia, he never intended to eat the insect people. What are you, a royal princess, arguing with a servant for? I'll deal with him later."

Julia naturally had nothing to say. However, she demanded that Louis fulfill his promise on the spot:

"Let's go check if that guy's arm has been reattached... Besides, this place has been bombed, it's not a place to stay for long."

This royal princess's emotional shifts were so quick and natural.

Aside from Richard and the legion commander, no one had yet reacted.

The other members of the royal family didn't have much to say either; having spent so much time with Julia, they were already used to it.

The royal family's internal affairs were naturally not something they wanted to be seen by the August family.

Louis managed to scare away the legion commander.

He patted Richard on the back, signaling him to follow him.

We arrived at an underground horse parking area in the vineyard.

As soon as he entered, Richard's eyes widened, and he refused to look away.

This isn't some underground horse racing track, it's practically a supercar showroom!

Even in the dim light, he could still vaguely discern the general shape and color of the horse from the sheen of its markings and mane.

Aside from the White Night Stars and the Dark Shadow Aurora that he knew.

These eight-legged horses, varying in color and shape, include:

Thunderous Radiance, Crimson Melt, Amethyst, Blazing Frost, Refined Black, Night Black, Purgatory, Dawn Purple, Ice Blue, Abyss Blue, Sinking Gold, Azure Water, Red Copper, Gilded Gold, Electric Green, Plain Silver, Ash Ash, Adorned with Gold, Emerald Green, Fiery Red, Jade Ingot, Dark Silver, Pine White, Crystal.

There were 26 eight-legged horses in total, each a different color. They were paired up and pulling thirteen luxurious carriages.

Richard was somewhat surprised by the variety of these eight-legged horses.

But he quickly realized that the value of each of these horses should be about the same as that of the White Night Stars and the Shadow Aurora.

The fact that two eight-legged horses of different colors were paired up to drive the same carriage was probably not for aesthetic purposes.

It was for some kind of ceremony and ceremonial purpose!

Upon careful reflection, even if Richard was reclusive, he still remembered that the current King of Kiel was the 26th king!

This explains why these members of the royal family used 26 different types of eight-legged horses when they came to New Rome!

However, what happened next was even more astonishing.

Snap!

Louis snapped his fingers.

All 26 pairs of horse eyes lit up simultaneously.

The neighing of the eight-legged horse began to echo through the space.

In Richard's view, this was no different from starting 26 sports cars at the same time.

Richard was pulled by Julia to the carriage that belonged to the White Night Stars and the Shadow Aurora team.

Louis looked at him, wanting to say something; he had also wanted to ride in a car with this young man… but he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

Richard naturally observed this scene, based on their previous exchanges and this small incident.

He keenly sensed that Louis's position within the royal family was likely inferior to Julia's...

Forget all that nonsense, and obediently follow Julia into the carriage...

Until everyone is in place.

Sure enough! The bell controlling the convoy was in Julia's hands.

She swayed with a very rhythmic motion... which Richard thought looked like some kind of secret message?

Meanwhile, the 26 eight-legged horses quickly adjusted their breathing rates.

Even the muscles in this group of legs that were activated grew to the same level!

The thirteen carriages set off in sequence, maintaining extremely high acceleration while keeping the distance between each other consistently at the same level.

The departure of this luxurious convoy naturally attracted the attention of the August family's knightly legion outside the manor.

They had received strict orders from above to protect the target.

Although the current members of the royal family do not have any ill will towards Richard.

But they can't possibly wait until the big shots arrive before saying something stupid like "they're leaving!"

The legion commander took immediate action.

Twenty Storm Knights grabbed the shoulders of twenty Earth Knights and immediately ascended into the sky.

They deployed the membranes between their arms and legs, using inertia and gravity to chase the royal convoy.

And they led the remaining five Flame Knights and five Frost Knights, including the legion commander. They, of course, also had horses.

However, it is not a supercar as agile and graceful as an eight-legged horse.

Richard observed this through the open car window.

It was a six-legged horse.

Standing generally over five meters tall, their massive muscles contracting and releasing, displaying the unparalleled power of these behemoths. Six powerful horse hooves… no! They should be called hydraulic machine tools!

They started running, their hooves pounding the ground with a loud thud.

Fortunately, the roads in the new Rome were very sturdy.

Otherwise, the legion commander would never dare to operate these war machines in this way...
