Bosya seemed to be in a peculiar mood today. Usually, he maintained a certain reserve as one of the Four Great Insect Generals when around the lesser insect soldiers, but today he had shed all pretense of dignity and was saying whatever came to mind.
Before he could utter anything more shameless, Li Ya rushed forward and covered his mouth.
“Are you not ashamed? Why are you saying such things out loud?”
In truth, the insect race did not place much importance on love; it was merely a seasoning for life.
For a race that had not seen new offspring in a long time, the union of female and male insects had even lost the meaning of procreation.
Therefore, many in the insect race preferred not to fall in love or marry, opting instead to join the army or pursue other endeavors. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
In the vast expanse of an insect’s life, finding a member of the opposite sex and binding one’s life to theirs was an extremely unrewarding and unwise decision.
It was for this reason that Li Ya had been shocked when Bosya confessed his feelings to her half a year ago.
However, after so much time had passed, she had finally been moved by him. Having someone by her side throughout their long lives would indeed be quite pleasant.
This thought persisted until just now. Li Ya pulled Bosya to a secluded spot far from the royal palace and whispered, “What are you doing here?”
Bosya replied pitifully, “I just… missed you.”
Although Li Ya maintained a stern expression, the blush on her cheeks betrayed her. She cleared her throat lightly, “Alright, alright. Don’t make any more mistakes next time, or the King will have to deal with you.”
Bosya glanced at the royal palace and sighed with resignation, a wry smile on his lips. “I know. I was actually planning to ask the little Highness for leniency today.”
Li Ya chuckled and took out a bottle of wound medicine from her pocket. She had intended to visit Bosya tonight anyway, but he had arrived first.
“Hurry back. I’ll put in a good word for you with the little Highness. Remember to apply the medicine.”
Bosya scanned their surroundings, sidestepped, and shielded Li Ya from the probing gazes of the guarding insect generals. He lowered his head and quickly kissed Li Ya.
Before Li Ya could react, Bosya had already skipped away, waving at her before disappearing from sight.
Li Ya’s cheeks grew warm. She raised a hand to cover her face, forcibly ignoring the gossiping looks from the insect generals, and hurried into the royal palace.
Upon entering, she was met with Cecy’s teasing expression.
Li Ya: “...Your Majesty.”
Cecy sat on the sofa, his eyes full of amusement. “When do you plan to get married?”
Li Ya smiled slightly. “As long as I can be with him, your subordinate is very happy.”
Cecy frowned in disapproval. “Marriage is a good thing.”
Li Ya lowered her gaze, clearly anticipating that day as well.
Cecy watched her with a smile, yet it seemed as if he saw nothing. Finally, he said, “I will not force you, but I hope that new children will be born to the insect race.”
Li Ya’s lips slowly straightened. “But…”
Cecy suddenly looked up at her, his gaze sharp as a cold, gleaming sword.
But Li Ya knew that look was not directed at her.
After a long pause, a voice finally echoed from the distant bedroom, the little Highness waking up groggily, “Daddy, I’m hungry!”
Cecy’s eyes were filled with amusement. “Coming, little piglet.”
