Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

Elvis paused for a moment.

Not a female servant?

But the powerful ruler clearly...

Then he realized what was happening.

So when the lord saw him dressed as Mitchell, he knew it was him, not Mitchell.

From the very beginning, it was the male ruler who intentionally guided him to dress up as Mitchell.

And then a series of actions and words.

It wasn't said to Mitchell either.

"Then, the reason why the powerful ruler said that is—"

Jian Chi jokingly asked, "What do you think, Elvis?"

Naturally, it was the dominant male teasing him...

Therefore, the powerful ruler did not like Mitchell.

Once I understood, a tremendous joy welled up inside me.

His emotions fluctuated wildly in just a few seconds. Elvis was breathing rapidly, feeling that everything was utterly unreal.

He felt as if he were floating on clouds, which made him happy but also filled him with a strange sense of dread.

I'm afraid it's all an illusion.

He subconsciously reached out, his hand trembling slightly, and gripped Jian Chi's clothes tightly. The ethereal feeling finally subsided, and he felt a sense of reality return.

My nose felt inexplicably sore.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord..."

He didn't know how to express his happiness and excitement, so he just kept thanking them.

Jian Chi scoffed, "Thank me for what?"

"I don't know either, I just wanted to thank you..."

His soul had been waiting in the dark room, as if trapped in endless darkness and pain. If it weren't for the powerful ruler, he would probably have been lost and asleep inside long ago.

Just like countless others who were once like me.

He should naturally thank him.

There are so many more people I should thank.

For example, the male could have treated him like the male insect, but he didn't.

A powerful ruler always achieves his goal through various strange methods.

Looking back now, perhaps when the lord deliberately guided him to dress up as Mitchell, it was so that Ra would later impersonate him to create that scene that made him feel desperate and pained.

Such a kind and gentle ruler to him, he seemed to have no way to repay him except with gratitude.

Thinking of this, he recalled the message he had sent to the powerful ruler before going to see the Third Prince.

The hand gripping the collar tightened even more, so much so that the knuckles turned white.

"A mighty ruler..."

"Um?"

"Did you see the message I sent you?"

The lord should understand what he was trying to say, right? Ivis thought nervously.

At that time, he could not find the ruler, and the ruler did not reply to his messages. He knew that the ruler was more likely to be safe, but he still felt uneasy.

"I saw it."

Elvis pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in an extremely low voice:

"So, have I been helpful?"

What help? I almost made things worse! I was terrified!

Reed told him that he had already offered himself to the Third Prince, and he believed him and even willingly sent himself there. How could he be so stupid? Did he really think he wouldn't die?!

The system was furious when this matter was brought up.

It couldn't understand why, in the original story, the original owner had to be drugged and given a suppression ring before he dared to be given to the Third Prince, yet he still struggled desperately, scaring the Third Prince.

How come in this life, he believed Reed's claim that the host offered him to the Third Prince, and even went there on his own initiative?!

Is this reasonable?!

Jian Chi didn't reply to the system, and raised an eyebrow.

Just as he had guessed, Elvis had indeed figured out what mission he was on.

"My lord, Reed says you have already offered me to His Highness the Third Prince. I don't know if this was truly your agreement. I am currently on my way to see His Highness the Third Prince. If it wasn't your agreement, please reply to me after you see this message..."

The message Elvis sent to Jian Chi at that time was a subtle reminder, a test, and a signal.

He stayed with the lord the whole time, but never saw the lord go out to meet anyone.

Therefore, he guessed that the task the male ruler had to complete was likely that the being was right beside him, watching over him and monitoring him.

He hadn't considered the possibility of contacting them through the smart bracelet; if it were, it would definitely leave some clues.

It also means that it can be defeated.

But the male ruler continued to act according to the plot, so he guessed that the being was always by his side, but he couldn't see it or discover it.

He knew that the lord had not agreed to any of Reed's requests, which meant he was subtly reminding the lord that he knew about this part of the story.

Since the powerful ruler was able to complete the task through other means in the past, it means that the being may not be very smart and can be fooled.

That message, that being, shouldn't have any hidden meaning.

If the ruler takes Reed's words as truth and believes them, then it's fine.

Therefore, his second intention was to test the waters.

If the powerful ruler had indeed seen the message, given his past practices, how could he possibly have given it to the Third Prince?

If the ruler returned, he knew the ruler was safe; if the ruler did not return, it was very likely that he had encountered something and could not extricate himself.

The third function is to send a signal that he can help the male ruler complete the task.

If a powerful ruler has a way, and it is safe to do so, he will certainly stop him.

Of course, these are all his guesses and assumptions, and they may not be correct.

I'm not even sure if what I did helped the lord, even if it was just a little bit...

Jian Chi's answer to this was: "No."

Iveston was somewhat disappointed.

"I'm sorry, my lord..."

He's really useless.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Chi gently patted his face, his commanding tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"Elvis, remember this: you are my queen, your body and your life belong to me."

"From now on, you are not allowed to do this again without my orders. If you dare to do it again, I will abandon you, understand?"

【Well said! That's exactly right. But host, isn't there something wrong with what you just said...?】

Why does it feel like something's a little off?

Shouldn't we be questioning Elvis about why he believed Reed after he told him?

When he heard Jian Chi say in a cold tone that he didn't want him, Elvis panicked.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I know I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Please, please don't abandon me..."

His panicked appearance, trembling voice, and desperate expression made him look extremely pitiful.

Jian Chi's eyes darkened, then he chuckled and said, "Hmm... that depends on your performance."

The laughing voice eased most of Elvis's panic, and he cautiously moved his head closer to Jian Chi.

Feeling that warm, gentle breath on his face, Elvis's cheeks flushed.

"Could the powerful ruler give me a reminder?"

"Hmm, trying to please me, begging for my favor."

Elvis was puzzled: how to please him, how to beg for mercy?

But the powerful ruler did not answer him again, clearly intending for him to figure it out for himself.

Can he figure it out?

Of course, he is very smart after all.
