It was obvious that the Eighth Prince Jiayin came to visit to apologize, but I didn't know why the two male insects following him came. In Salilan law, male insects didn't need to apologize, and female insects usually took the blame.
Of course Brand couldn't stop them. He thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Please let them in."
After that, he patted Asui's shoulder and warned him, "The Eighth Prince and his master are here to visit you. Remember not to talk nonsense later."
Asui nodded obediently.
Not long after, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a thin, blue-haired male insect walked in first. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had a rather elegant face. Behind him was a silver-haired female insect with a little difficulty walking. It was the Eighth Prince Gain.
The "culprit" Johnny followed behind listlessly, his hands full of bags of gifts for apology, and his reluctance was visibly evident.
After Johnny entered the room, he secretly glared at Asui: This damn star pirate!
Asui also glared at him secretly: This damn red-haired guy!
Brand didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them. He took a step forward, nodded slightly and saluted to Ashya and Gain: "Your Excellency Ashya, Your Highness, Good day."
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Johnny who was behind was skipped.
Gain had heard a few days ago that Brand seemed to have a close relationship with the pure-blooded male insect on the bed. Seeing him in the ward, he was not surprised: "Major General Brand, you are welcome. We came here today to visit His Majesty Asui. I heard that he was ill. I wonder if he is feeling better now?"
Brande gestured for them to sit on the sofa next to the bed: "His Majesty Asui is much better now. He just woke up today... Please take a seat. If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."
When Asui heard what Ashya said, he was stunned for a moment, and there was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He frowned and stared at Ashya for a while. The light blue hair and gray-blue eyes made him look completely unfamiliar. He had never seen him on Earth before, let alone in the star pirates' nest.
Ashya sat on the sofa and didn't say a word from beginning to end. He habitually stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger. Behind the lens, he looked at Asui calmly. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your eye and hair color are really special, so Johnny made a mistake that day. Our two families live very close to each other. I hope you can put aside the past grudges and visit each other more often in the future."
Ashya hummed, "You're welcome."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and seemed to sigh in a trance, but because it was too slight, it was difficult for the insect to notice.
it's wired…
Ashya and the others sat in the ward for a while, chatting and exchanging pleasantries until the afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye.
Asui stared at Ashya's glasses for a while, and found that his expression at certain times was very similar to that of his third grandfather. He couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "What's your name?"
Ashya touched his knees and patted them twice, indicating that they could talk about it when they got home. Gain had no choice but to keep silent with red ears.
Gain stood up from the sofa and nodded to Brande and Asui: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, we won't disturb you to rest. I wish you a speedy recovery."
Jia Yin knew that Brand was considering his inconvenience, so he nodded slightly to apologize: "In fact, we came here today not only to visit His Majesty Asui, but also to apologize to him. Johnny was too reckless that day and called the police without clarifying the situation, which caused His Majesty Asui too much trouble."
Ashya has an aloof temperament and is obviously not the "hospitable" type of person. Moreover, since he is a big shot in the business world, there is naturally no need for him to please Asui. His sudden olive branch not only surprised Brand, but even his female king Gain was stunned for a moment.
After Asui said this, the atmosphere in the ward relaxed.
He then looked at Johnny calmly.
Ashya paused for a moment after hearing this, but did not answer. Brand sighed helplessly, thinking that he had just mentioned it, how could Ashya forget it again? He whispered to the side, "Ashya, this is Lord Ashya."
Johnny then reluctantly stepped forward, piled the gifts in his hand on the table, and said to Asui in a stiff tone: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called the police that day, please forgive me."
Gain asked in confusion: "My Lord..."
Asui knew that he was not apologizing sincerely, so he turned his head and said nothing until Brand secretly pushed him. Then he said reluctantly, "It's okay."
Asui subconsciously looked at Gain's injured right leg, and the strange sense of familiarity resurfaced, but he quickly retracted his gaze after realizing that it was impolite. He felt a little embarrassed to accept so many gifts from Gain, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed and said, "How about I take you downstairs?"
Even Brand pushed Asui back onto the bed and whispered, "Lie down and don't move. The doctor said you can't be exposed to the wind right now. I'll take you there."
Asui scratched his hair, thinking that was not the case. His third grandfather was called Han Yan, not Ashya. He said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, my memory is not very good. I will come to visit you when I have the chance. Thank you for coming to see me today."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly stopped him, saying, "No need, Your Majesty. You should just take a good rest."
Not to mention that Asui was still sick, no one dared to let him personally escort him out because of his pure-blooded male insect identity. In the end, it was Brand who sent Gain and the others to the elevator. He pressed the elevator button and explained, "Asui's hometown is remote, and he has just arrived in the capital not long ago. He has a simple mind. Please don't be offended, Your Highness."
Gain shook his head slightly. Asui's eyes were too simple, and it was obvious that he had no bad intentions. This was rare in the capital of the greedy and extravagant empire. He was quite familiar with Brande, so he couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty has already known the news that His Majesty has awakened. Maybe he will be summoned to the dinner soon, and even be granted a title. Many dignitaries will be present. If you are in love with His Majesty, it is better to make plans early."
The implication is that Brand should strike first.
Hearing this, Brand lowered his eyes thoughtfully and whispered, "Thank you for your reminder."
If the news of the pure-blooded male insect spreads, it will inevitably attract countless fights. Not only Gain advised so, but even Chief Harrington has the same idea. But they have done what they should do. Asui is still lying in bed, and Brande can't force him to get married.
After that, Asui stayed in the hospital for a while and was discharged after about four or five days. It was said that the Insect Emperor wanted to give Asui a house, but I don't know what Chief Harrington said when he went to the palace, so the Insect Emperor temporarily suppressed his will.
On the day of discharge, Chief Harrington came over specially. While Asui was changing clothes, he pulled Brand aside and whispered, "Your Majesty originally wanted to give Asui a house, but I persuaded him to go back. You must seize the opportunity during this period and quickly settle the marriage."
Brand frowned when he heard this, as if he was puzzled: "Why do you want to persuade me to go back?"
Chief Harrington glared at him with a look of disappointment: "If His Majesty grants Asui a house, all those crazy lovers will definitely flock to it. How can you fight them? I have risked my reputation for your marriage. His Majesty has agreed to let Asui live in your house for a while. I can't help you even if you don't live up to your expectations."
As they were talking, they heard a click from the bathroom door. Asui had already changed his clothes and came out. He saw Brand and Chief Harrington standing in the corner talking, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Chief Harrington fell silent immediately.
Brand walked over to help Asui straighten his collar. "Nothing much. Have you packed your things? We'll leave the hospital after you change. The aircraft is already waiting downstairs."
Asui glanced at Chief Harrington, then at Brand, and recalled the conversation he had just overheard in the bathroom. In the end, he said nothing, scratched his head, and said, "I don't have anything to pack. Let's go."
The more Chief Harrington looked at Asui, the more he liked him. He felt that there was no male insect in the world more likable than him. When he was on the aircraft heading to the residence, he deliberately asked many questions in a roundabout way.
Chief Harrington: "Your Majesty, you..."
Ah Sui interrupted quickly: "Uncle, you can just call me Ah Sui."
Chief Harrington was even more satisfied when he heard this. There were not many male insects in Salilan Law, and even fewer male insects who were not arrogant or impatient. If Asui was arrogant and ignored Brande just because of his status, Chief Harrington felt that they in the south did not necessarily have to pursue this marriage.
Ungrateful people are despised everywhere, but fortunately Asui is not that kind of person.
Chief Harrington changed his words and said with a smile, "Asui, you have already marked Brand, right?"
Asui was shocked when he heard this: "Ah?!" He and Brand had not completed the partner ceremony, but they had already been marked. This was actually against the rules in Salilan law. Asui thought that Chief Harrington was coming to settle accounts with him, and stammered: "Uncle, you... you listen to my explanation..."
As soon as Brand heard it, he knew what Chief Harrington was up to. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Female father—"
Chief Harrington said, "Brand, didn't I teach you before that when your elders are talking, you just need to listen quietly. It is not the etiquette of a noble to interrupt them at will."
Upon hearing this, Brand had no choice but to turn his head and look outside the porthole. He said nothing, but his ears unconsciously perked up, quietly paying attention to Asui's reaction.
Chief Harrington was not angry about Asui marking Brande, but was quite happy to see it happen: "You are all adults, and I shouldn't interfere in this matter. But it's not good to mark your reputation before getting married in the imperial capital... Do you understand what I mean?"
He seemed to be hinting at something frantically.
Ah Sui seemed to understand: "What do you mean...?"
Chief Harrington finally showed his true colors and asked tentatively, "When do you plan to hold the partner ceremony with Brand?"
Asui: “…”
Ah Sui's cheeks instantly turned red when he heard this, and he said awkwardly: "Uncle, I want to wait until I earn some money before holding the wedding..."
His pockets were cleaner than his face. He had planned to look for a job, but he was hospitalized before he could even start. He had to earn some money before marrying Brande.
Chief Harrington misunderstood what he meant. Money? That's not a problem. He has the entire South behind him. He may not have much other things, but he has a lot of money: "Your Majesty, money is not a problem. When you marry Brand, I will give you as much dowry as you want. I have nine houses in the upper three districts of the imperial capital. If you think it's not enough, we can buy a few more. After all, I usually live in the south for a long time, not in the imperial capital, so I haven't had time to buy too many assets..."
Ah Sui was stunned when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "Uncle, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
He wanted to make money for himself, not to take Brand's money. Chief Harrington was too generous. A house in the capital city starts at at least tens of millions, and he bought nine houses at once. Who could resist such temptation
Seeing Asui in a panic, Brand finally said to Chief Harrington, "Father, we will take care of the wedding ourselves. You don't have to worry too much."
Chief Harrington finally realized that the child was born to collect debts, and said in an ambiguous way: "Brand, if you really can handle it yourself, I won't have to worry so much about you from childhood to adulthood."
Brand: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about this."
Chief Harrington choked with anger: "You..."
As they were talking, the aircraft had already landed at the door of the house. Brand and Asui walked out of the cabin door, and when they turned around, they saw Chief Harrington still sitting there, "Wouldn't you like to go in and have a cup of tea?"
Chief Harrington said, "No, the military has something else to deal with later. I need to go over and take care of it."
Brand didn't want to make things too awkward with Chief Harrington, so he closed the cabin door and said through the porthole, "Take care, come back often when you have time."
Upon hearing this, Chief Harrington's expression finally improved a little. He nodded to signal the driver to fly the aircraft away, and soon disappeared from sight.
Seeing this, Brand took a few steps back and stared at the sky for a moment before looking away. He glanced inadvertently and suddenly found that a figure seemed to flash on the second floor of the house opposite, who looked very much like the eighth prince's master.
Hmm? Lord Ashya
Asui saw Brande standing still at the door and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Brand shook his head slightly: "Nothing, it seems like there are bugs staring at us over there."
He paused after speaking, as if remembering something, and asked, "Have you and the Eighth Prince's Lord known each other before? It seems to me that you two are very familiar with each other?"
Ah Sui shook his head: "I don't know him. I just think he looks like my third grandfather. My third grandfather also wears glasses like him."
Brande looked ambiguous when he heard this. He vaguely remembered that Asui had said last time that Gain looked like his third grandfather. How come it suddenly became Ashiya? "Didn't you say that your third grandfather had a lame leg?"
Asui said as a matter of course: "Yes, he has a lame leg and wears glasses."
Brand: “…”
All right.
Brande came in with his luggage and went upstairs with Asui to sort out their clothes. In order to avoid being peeped, he directly closed the bedroom curtains and said, "Remember to draw the curtains when you are at home during the day, okay?"
He always felt that the Eighth Prince's behavior was suspicious and he seemed to pay too much attention to Asui.
Ah Sui squatted beside the suitcase to organize his clothes, but he was thinking about marriage in his heart: "I don't want to stay at home all the time, can I go out and find a job?"
Brand was somewhat surprised when he heard this. He walked up to Asui, leaned over and squatted to explain: "Asui, you are a pure-blooded male insect, you don't have to go out to work."
Ah Sui frowned: "But I'm bored staying at home alone. It's not as interesting as when I was a space pirate. You usually go to work in the military. Can you take me with you?"
Brand refused without a second thought: "No."
An ordinary male insect could cause quite a stir when it arrived at the military headquarters. If Asui, a pure-blooded male insect, showed up, there was no doubt that the entire military headquarters would be blown up.
Asui recalled something Brande had said to him accidentally: "But didn't you tell me before that the Lord of the Seventh Prince Justu also works in the military? Why can he go but I can't?"
Brand said calmly, "You heard wrong."
Ah Sui could type now. Hearing this, he took out his terminal and searched the news. Soon, a video popped up: "Look, it's said on the Starnet that he is the only pure-blooded male insect with a military rank in the empire..."
As Sui was talking, he suddenly found a picture of the male insect on the Star Network. He had black hair and black eyes, and looked particularly familiar. He frowned and thought for a moment before he remembered something:
"!!!"
He remembered! Wasn't this male insect the tourist who had boarded the tour bus with him?! How could he have traveled here as well?!
Ah Sui stood up from the ground with a startled roar, startling Brande: "What's wrong with you?"
"ah?"
Asui came back to his senses a little late after hearing this, and suddenly realized that he was not familiar with this male insect. At most, they had ridden on the same bus. Maybe the other party had already forgotten him.
Asui shook his head and sat on the floor again: "Nothing."
It's a pity that I finally met a companion, but we are not familiar with each other at all. Otherwise, I could find a way to contact him and have an Earth get-together or something.
