There may be male insects in Salilan Law who only marry one female monarch, but there are not many of them. Brand never imagined that he would be one of them, but Asui's words today aroused the hidden desire in his heart, which was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Seeing that Asui didn't say anything, Brand took another step forward, his military boots landing silently on the ground, his expression unable to hide his seriousness: "Asui, will you really only marry me in the future?"
Asui looked at Brande in the light of the street lamp, but deliberately kept silent. He slowly stepped back a few steps and went up the stairs, then extended a hand to Brande:
"Do you really want to know?"
Brand was indeed concerned about this question. He walked over and held Asui's hand. Since he was standing at the bottom of the stairs, he was a head shorter than Asui for some reason. "Well, tell me."
Ah Sui leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a playful tone, "I'll tell you when you marry me."
Brand: “…”
This male insect has now also learned his lesson.
Brande looked up at Asui, his light blue eyes were softer than the moonlight, and he said with an ambiguous tone: "Sir, you must tell me the answer first, then I will know whether I should marry you."
Ah Sui thought, is there any hesitation in such a thing? He pulled Brandan into the house with a little force, and without turning on the light, he stumbled upstairs in the dark, holding her in his arms, his eyes bright and cunning, like a cat that stole some meat: "Uncle said that he agrees to our marriage."
Ah Sui didn't believe it: "Uncle is so nice, why would he lie to me?"
A pile of wanted posters were slammed heavily on the coffee table. The crisp sound was particularly abrupt in the huge mansion. Chief Harrington sat on the sofa with a gloomy face. There was no longer the gentle talk and laughter when he was shopping with Asui yesterday. He said in a serious voice: "Brand, are you going to explain to me what this wanted poster is about?"
Brand felt a little ashamed, his heart pounding uncontrollably, and he whispered, "Come here."
Asui is not greedy, he doesn't want a lot of things.
"Snapped-"
Asui hugged him silently in the darkness, his arms like a strong snake, wrapping around his waist tighter and tighter. Brand was kissed by Asui until he couldn't breathe for a while, and in a trance he seemed to hear the male insect whispering in his ear, every word piercing his heart:
"Brand, it's enough for me to marry only you..."
Brand: “…”
The bug cub that I had carefully raised was actually with a space pirate? How is this possible?!
Chief Harrington spent the entire night trying to accept this fact.
He only needed a sword before, but now he only needs Brand. In this strange world, the other party will not abandon him or forsake him, but will take him with him to escape from the battlefield. In the vast snow and wind, Asui never worried about losing his way.
Asui was so badly betrayed by Quick and his gang in the pirates' lair. Hasn't he learned his lesson yet
Asui's reason was simple: "He is your father."
Chief Harrington said coldly: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, can't I lie to him?"
Asui smiled and hummed: "One of you is enough."
Chief Harrington has been doing intelligence work for so many years. Although the portrait on the wanted poster may not be accurate, the four words "black hair and black eyes" are enough for him to pin the suspicion on Asui.
Brand sighed helplessly: "He lied to you."
He will continue along the Far West to find everything he has lost...
Brand slowly rolled up the wanted poster in his hand and said, "Father, Asui is not the kind of space pirate you think. He was tricked into the Clete Alliance by mistake and has never done anything bad."
Brande covered his abdomen with his clothes, still feeling a little pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "A Sui, can we wait until next week?"
Chief Harrington frowned: "Brand, do you think this is funny? You have been marked by a space pirate!"
See, he knew it was like this, but that big fool Asui still didn't believe it.
After saying this, Asui stumbled into the room with Brande in his arms. Following last night's experience and memory, he pushed Brande against the window and kissed her, apparently forgetting that Brande had said last night that the second marking would have to wait until next week.
Brande and he stood on the steps and kissed, their lips rubbing against each other, unwilling to separate, and the words he uttered were also unclear: "Silly, we just met for the first time today, how do you know he is good..."
Chief Harrington had a smiling face and looked particularly kind. Asui had no parents when he was young, and he always had an inexplicable sense of dependence and trust in the elderly. He felt that Brand's female father was a good person and would definitely not lie to him.
Love the person and love his dog, probably this is what it means.
Brand suddenly found that he had no way to refuse this male insect. He lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, a light blush appeared on his fair cheeks. Finally, he could only take off his military uniform and turned around to hold the window sill.
Brande didn't know why he asked such a question: "Asui said that you agreed to our marriage yesterday?"
Ah Sui nodded and said, "I said that when we were shopping at the mall today. You didn't hear it because you were following behind me."
Chief Harrington frowned, "Brand, it's useless for you to say these things to me. You have to say them to the judge. Some time ago, the Eighth Prince's hero was almost assassinated in the suburbs. The two assassins were members of the Clete Alliance. Now not only is the Eighth Prince investigating this matter, but even the Insect Emperor has issued a death order to eradicate the roots. Asui must not think of getting away from it no matter what."
The lord of the Eighth Prince is named Ashya, who is also one of the newcomers in the imperial capital. He is very capable and has blocked the financial paths of many bugs when doing business. One noble held a grudge against him and contacted the black market to hire someone to kill him, but the order was taken by the Clet Alliance. The two pirates were accidentally captured when they took action in the suburbs, and their identities were completely exposed.
Ashya is a royal relative and is highly valued by the Insect Emperor. Now the higher-ups are determined to investigate this case strictly, and any captured pirates will be severely punished regardless of the severity of their crimes. No one will care whether Ashya is really innocent or not.
Brande stared at him quietly: "Do you want to report Asui?"
Spring had long passed in Salilandia, and winter had quietly arrived on this quiet night, leaving the area covered in snow overnight.
Early the next morning, Brand walked out of the garden along the snow-covered cobblestone road. However, he did not go to the hospital to get the test report for Asui. Instead, he took a flying vehicle and hurried to Admiral Harrington's residence in the imperial capital.
He admitted that Asui was indeed likable, but the identity of a star pirate was like a time bomb that might explode suddenly at any time, so there was no need for them to take the risk.
When Brand heard this, his eyes became distracted for a moment. He felt as if he was walking on clouds, and it was a bit unreal. He repeated stupidly, "Is it enough to just marry... me?"
Brand was stunned for a moment before realizing who the uncle was that Asui was referring to: "Did my mother-in-law say such a thing?"
He seemed to be acting coquettishly, but it wasn't very obvious.
Asui buried his head in Brande's neck and slowly bit open his shirt buttons. When he raised his eyes, they happened to be facing the moonlight outside the window. His eyes were bright and moist, like a harmless little animal: "Is it really not possible today?"
Chief Harrington said coldly, "Brand, you'd better not get involved. Do you understand? Although there are few male insects in the imperial capital, it does not mean that there are none. Take your time to select, and you will always find better ones in the future."
Chief Harrington has always been a smooth-talking man. He tells lies to the worm and lies to the devil. What's the point of making a blank check? Asui must have been deceived by him.
Brand was surprisingly calm. He knew that he could hide this from all the bugs, but he could never hide it from Chief Harrington. He leaned over to pick up the wanted posters scattered on the table and took a look. One belonged to Asui and the other belonged to Xu Cenfeng. He suddenly smiled.
He almost uttered the following sentence through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Chief Harrington stood up from the sofa and said meaningfully, "Brand, I don't want to do this, so you'd better pay attention to your words and actions and break off your relationship with that male insect as soon as possible."
Brand had expected this warning, so he didn't seem too surprised. Instead, he tore up the wanted poster in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Father, I have been deeply marked by him. According to the rules of Salilan Law, from this moment on until the end of my life, he will be my only male master."
"I hope you won't do anything to harm him."
After Brandt finished speaking, he ignored Chief Harrington's ugly expression and bowed to him: "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
Brand and Chief Harrington have been father and son for many years and they know each other's character well. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but in the short term Chief Harrington will not report Asui. The other party has always been unwilling to get involved in any quagmire and has been away from the center of the imperial capital for so many years, which has interpreted the four words "keeping a prudent mind and protecting oneself" to the extreme.
After leaving the house, Brand went straight to the hospital to get Asui's blood test report, but was told that the results would not be available until 3 pm. He looked at the time and found that there were still two hours left. He originally planned to find a place to wait for a while, but he didn't expect to pass by a coffee shop and found a familiar figure sitting inside.
Recently, the military has been posting wanted posters everywhere, and they are everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are portraits of Asui and Xu Cenfeng at the door of this cafe. Brand stood at the door and looked for a while, then retracted his gaze and pushed the door open and walked in.
Sitting by the window in the booth was a female insect with silver hair and red eyes. Her face was feminine and delicate. It was the Eighth Prince Gain. Brand was quite familiar with the other party and walked over to say hello:
"Your Highness, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here." Brand suddenly noticed a blue-haired male insect sitting across the table. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked quite gentle. He realized that it might be Gain's lord, so he leaned forward and saluted: "Sir Ashya, it's an honor to meet you."
Ashya obviously didn't expect Brande to know him. He was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, stood up, nodded, and greeted him lightly: "Hello."
Seeing this, the Eighth Prince Gain also stood up from his seat. His right foot seemed to be a little inconvenient. He looked at Brande in confusion and asked, "I heard from the Intelligence Department that you were still chasing the interstellar pirates near Horsburg. How come you came back so soon?"
When Brand heard him mention the space pirates, he couldn't help but pause and said, "Several main criminals of the Clete Alliance have been arrested and brought to justice. I just sent them to prison. The remaining criminals may be handed over to Admiral Safir for pursuit."
Gain suddenly noticed that he had a white hospital test form in his hand.
Brand noticed his gaze, and calmly folded the list and put it in his pocket. He smiled and explained, "You know, my mental strength is not stable. I will probably have to stay in the hospital for some time."
The female insect's mental strength is unstable and must be comforted by a male insect. The Eighth Prince vaguely remembered that Brand seemed to be still single, so he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Are you going to start choosing a male master?"
In the territory of Salilan, no matter how outstanding a female insect is, it seems that she can only be tied to a male insect for the rest of her life. Brand thought of Asui's identity and the opposition of Chief Harrington, and his mood was inevitably gloomy. He laughed at himself and said, "It's just the fate of female insects, Your Highness."
When Gain got married, Brand was on a mission and did not attend the wedding. He thought that the disabled prince would not have a good life after marriage, and felt very sorry for a while, but he did not expect to meet him here today.
Brande took a subtle look at Gain's complexion and said sincerely, "Your Highness, you look much better than before."
"Maybe,"
The Eighth Prince had a somewhat gloomy temperament and did not seem to like to smile. He glanced at the blue-haired male insect beside him, but a very shallow arc appeared on his lips. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Maybe it's because the sun is too bright today."
It snowed all night yesterday and it gradually stopped this morning. The golden sunlight shining through the window really gave people an illusion of warmth.
Brand originally wanted to sit in the cafe for a while to kill time, but he didn't want to disturb the Eighth Prince and the others, so he asked the waiter to simply pack up a small cake and left after a while.
When he walked out of the dessert shop, the terminal on Brande's wrist suddenly vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Asui.
This male insect didn't know many words, so he spat out messages one or two at a time:
[Brand]
[I]
[A bit dizzy]
[I feel hairy]
Asui probably wanted to vaccinate for a cold, but he got the wrong number.
Brand frowned unconsciously when he saw this. Asui had always been in good physical condition. He never cried out in pain when his calf was blown to pieces on the battlefield. Now he suddenly sent him a message, so he must be seriously ill.
Brand quickly sent a message to Asui, asking him to wait for him at home, and then he drove the aircraft towards the house.
On the other hand, Ah Sui was indeed seriously ill. He felt hot all over when he woke up in the morning, as if his internal organs were burning, and his legs were weak, even when he walked, he was shaky.
At first, Asui thought he had a cold, but after taking several pills, none of them worked, and he finally vomited them all out, burning his head so much that white smoke almost came out of it. He once suspected that he had caught a cold because he and Brand played around by the window for too long yesterday.
Asui barely pulled himself together and sent a message to Brande, then put on his coat and sat on the steps at the door waiting for him to come back. It had just snowed last night, and the temperature outside was still chilly. The cold wind blew in his face, finally making Asui's hot skin feel a little comfortable.
Johnny has been worried about his marriage recently. The female insect he wants to marry is too old, and both the female father and the male father are unanimously opposed. There is no day without quarrels at home, so he simply moved to his brother's house to stay for a while and get some peace and quiet.
Today is the weekend, and he should be on vacation, but the company suddenly called him in the afternoon, saying that there was a problem with the construction project and asked him to go over and take a look.
Johnny could only accept his fate and crawl out of bed, put on some clothes and went out. As soon as he reached the garden gate, he saw a small snow-white pet cat trapped on the wall of the house opposite, meowing because of the protective electric wire on it.
Johnny walked over and clapped his hands at the white cat: "Meow, meow, meow, jump down, I'll catch you."
The kitten obviously didn't understand what he said. It stood on the high wall and didn't dare to come down. Its right front foot was entangled in the wire mesh. It kept crying in pain: "Meow!"
Johnny: “…”
Johnny estimated the height of the wall and found that it seemed a bit difficult for him to climb up. He was about to call the administrator for help when a black figure suddenly jumped onto the top of the wall and untied the white cat from the protective net.
Ah Sui was attracted by the kitten's cry. He squatted on the top of the wall and found a red-haired male insect standing below. He held the kitten in his hand and asked in confusion: "Is this cat yours?"
His voice was a little hoarse due to the fever, his hair was a light brown in the sunlight, but his eyes were as black as jet jade.
Johnny was shocked when he saw this, and pointed at Asui in surprise and asked, "Hey, aren't you the bug that bumped into me in the hospital yesterday? Why are you living here too?"
Ah Sui frowned when he heard this: "I didn't hit you, you fell down accidentally."
He added at the end: "You deserve it."
Johnny was so angry that he choked and turned to leave, but Ah Sui threw the kitten in his hand into his arms: "Hey, your cat."
Johnny hurriedly caught it: "Who said this is my cat? It's on your wall, so of course it's your cat!"
Ah Sui squatted on the wall with his chin supported by his hands. It was a rare opportunity for him to meet a strange male insect, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "How is that possible? I don't have a cat at home."
Johnny doesn't have the time to keep a pet: "Anyway, the cat is at your house, so you can help it find an owner."
Ah Sui shook his head: "No, I can't go out."
Johnny thought that even if male insects were valuable, they didn't have to be this valuable. "Why can't you go out?"
Asui shook his head: "In short, you can't go out."
Johnny was about to say something when he suddenly noticed several wanted posters on the opposite wall. They were all notorious interstellar pirates. The most wanted criminal was a male insect with black hair and black eyes, and the second most wanted criminal was also a male insect with black hair and black eyes. He could not help but fall into a daze: "… "
Ah Sui hadn't noticed that there was a wanted poster for him underneath the wall where he was squatting. He looked at Johnny curiously and said, "Hey, what's your relationship with the family across the street? Did you live here before?"
Johnny looked down at the wanted poster, then looked up at Ah Sui squatting on the wall with a smile on his face. The more he looked, the more he thought it looked like: "..."
Asui thought Johnny was really strange: "Why don't you speak?"
Johnny swallowed hard: "You... did you live here before?"
Asui: "No, I just moved here two days ago."
Johnny's legs went limp for a moment, and he struggled to stand against the wall. He asked tremblingly, "So...what did you do before?"
Ah Sui smiled shyly: "I can't tell you this."
Hearing this, Johnny forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, waved his hands awkwardly and backed away, saying, "Well, nice to meet you. We'll be neighbors from now on. Remember to come visit often. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He didn't care about the cat fluttering in his arms, and ran away immediately. Johnny looked back nervously while running, his heart almost jumping out of his throat:
Oh my god! The last time he was on a starship with Ashya, he was accidentally attacked by a killer from the Clet Alliance. How come there is another one next door? Could it be that he is going to kill him
Johnny ran all the way to the security booth. When he entered, he threw the cat in his arms to the security guard, then rushed to the control panel and hurriedly dialed the police number:
"Hello?! Is this the military? I just found a wanted male criminal on the Star Network, the pirate leader with black eyes and black hair... Yes, yes, yes! It's him! Come here quickly!"
