D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

A sign that the conflict has moved from behind the scenes to the forefront is that the factions of the Crown Prince and the Duke of Norton no longer maintain a superficial peace as before, but have begun to attack each other by name.

When dealing with official business, they completely lost their rationality. As long as one faction wanted to do something, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the other faction would try every means to obstruct and hinder them, preventing them from getting things done.

Later, it even escalated into physical attacks, with it becoming common for supporters of the opposing camp to be crippled or suffer broken bones.

Then something big happened.

One of the Duke of Norton's supporters has died; the deceased was a nobleman, and the murderer was an underling of the First Prince.

The Crown Prince's men were originally ordered to teach that supporter a lesson, but something went wrong and they accidentally killed the insect.

The insects have died, and now the Crown Prince's faction must give an explanation no matter what.

As a result, the eldest prince was relieved of many posts and relegated to a background role.

Meanwhile, the Eighth Prince was chosen to replace the First Prince as the Crown Prince's advisor, continuing the struggle against Duke Norton's faction.

To be fair, although he was put forward at the last minute, the Eighth Prince has performed well and is now highly valued by the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Rhine knew without a doubt how chaotic the situation on the capital planet was.

He thought to himself, "Thank goodness I left early."

Although he is ostensibly a member of the Crown Prince's faction, he is currently stationed at the Arach defense line, and his current position is not a solution to the immediate crisis. Neither the Queen nor the First Prince have considered asking him to help fight against Duke Norton's faction.

In addition, since he is an S-class female insect, the Queen and the Crown Prince know that they cannot control him. Their only requirement for him is to publicly express his support for the Crown Prince.

Therefore, the chaotic situation on the capital planet has had no impact on Rhine. The reason Rhine still has his confidants keeping an eye on the capital planet is simply as a precaution.

Rhine put down the envelope in his hand and lowered his head in deep thought.

Compared to the capital planet, he was actually more worried about the Netherlands Company.

Ever since Cohen nearly killed Lu Yuan, he has never given up investigating the matter.

Based on the results of investigations over the years, the Netherlands Company is definitely not simple, and the insect behind it vaguely points to the capital planet.

However, this company is too well hidden. Every time he finds a clue, the relevant evidence is immediately destroyed, and the relevant culprits either escape or commit suicide. So far, he has not been able to find out who the real culprit behind the Netherlands Company is.

He suspected that Dark, who had almost killed Lu Yuan, was also likely connected to the Netherlands Company, but he also couldn't find any evidence.

Although the Netherlands Company has not taken any action against Lu Yuan in recent years, Rhine cannot rest easy until the real mastermind is found out.

......

In a greenhouse filled with flowers on the capital planet, the Eighth Prince was watering the flowers with a smile on his face.

Gray stood at the greenhouse entrance, hesitating for a long time before finally being called in by the Eighth Prince.

"Grey, come in. What are you doing standing in the doorway?"

After hearing the Eighth Prince's words, Gray walked into the greenhouse and bowed to the Eighth Prince.

Seeing Gray's troubled expression, the Eighth Prince asked softly.

"What happened? Why do you look so troubled?"

"Your Highness, the Lord requests your presence," Gray said somewhat hesitantly.

The Eighth Prince's smile remained, but his eyes turned cold.

"What has the mighty lord set his sights on here this time? Or some kind of insect?" the Eighth Prince asked jokingly.

Gray's expression became even more troubled, and after hesitating for a long while, he finally spoke in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Last time, a female soldier in military uniform with short hair and a very dashing appearance came to see Your Highness. The male ruler happened to see her and seemed to be very interested in her."

The Eighth Prince sneered inwardly. He knew who they were talking about. The female general was Khalid, the current commander of the Third Army Group. She was the First Prince's favorite general.

This male ruler may be lacking in other areas, but he certainly has a good eye for female insects.

But this powerful ruler dared to set his sights on the Crown Prince's favorite general; he didn't even consider his own limitations.

"Grey, tell the male lord that I'm very busy right now and don't have time to see him. Also, think of a way to make the male lord stop thinking about that female soldier. She's not a female insect he can be interested in. Don't bring trouble to the family," the Eighth Prince said.

"But Your Highness, the male ruler seems quite obsessed with that female soldier. He has been trying to find out about her situation these past few days."

"The male lord is only attracted to her face. If all else fails, just buy him a bionic insect. I'll give you star coins. The new bionic insects that have recently come out feel almost like real insects. Buy one that looks similar to that female soldier and give it to the male lord so he can have his fun."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Gray thought it was indeed a good idea and happily agreed.

But just as Gray was about to leave the greenhouse, he seemed to remember something and stopped.

"Grey, is there anything else?" the Eighth Prince asked.

"Your Highness, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to always avoid the Lord? After all, you still need the Lord to soothe your spirit."

Gray asked this because he was genuinely worried about the Eighth Prince.

Before their marriage, the Eighth Prince and Song Mo got along quite well, and the Eighth Prince was always gentle and considerate towards Song Mo.

However, after the marriage, except for the initial period of the honeymoon, the Eighth Prince seemed to be intentionally avoiding Song Mo.

Except when he needed to soothe Song Mo's mind, the Eighth Prince almost never entered Song Mo's bedroom.

At home, the Eighth Prince preferred to stay in a sheltered environment rather than spend time with Song Mo.

Sometimes Song Mo would take the initiative to approach the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince would always decline, citing being too busy with work.

Gray didn't know what was going on between the Eighth Prince and Song Mo, since he hadn't seen them argue at all.

Gray sensed that Song Mo didn't seem to realize that the Eighth Prince was deliberately avoiding him, so Gray wanted to persuade the Eighth Prince to change his way of treating Song Mo before Song Mo found out.

Otherwise, if Song Mo finds out, he will definitely be angry. If Song Mo deliberately causes trouble when he is giving the Eighth Prince mental comfort, the Eighth Prince will be very upset.

For Gray, the Eighth Prince was a good matriarch who never made things difficult for them, the female servants.

Moreover, since all their assets had been transferred to Song Mo, the Eighth Prince would secretly give them star coins as living expenses.

Gray didn't want the Eighth Prince, who was such a good boy, to be punished by Song Mo.
