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

The Eighth Prince nestled on his female father's lap, enjoying the rare intimacy he received from her.

He had been very fond of his female father since he was a child, even though he knew from a young age that his female father did not actually like him.

Because he was not born of love, nor was he even the product of a normal relationship. The female father only allowed his birth for some purpose, without prematurely killing his life.

Not long after it hatched, it was sent to the palace, where it lived a lonely life all by itself.

The female insect larvae have memories after hatching, so they clearly know who their female father is.

However, after being sent to the palace, he could no longer call his female father "female father." Occasionally, when he had the chance to meet his female father, she was very indifferent to him.

From the outsider's perspective, he has no relation to his female father.

In name, he was the eighth prince in the palace, the child of a female servant of the Insect King who died young. That female servant had always been unknown in the palace, and no one even remembered her name.

The female father was the previous Duke Norton's wife and the current Duke Norton's female father. She only has one child, the current Duke Norton, and has no relation to him, the eighth prince.

Although he had hardly ever received any affection from his female father, the Eighth Prince did not blame him.

When he was young, the Eighth Prince had resented his mother's indifference, but as he grew older and learned about his mother's experiences, he felt only pity for her.

His female father should have had a brilliant life, with a worthy male master and family.

But all of this was ruined by two selfish male insects.

These two male insects, driven by their own selfish desires, utterly destroyed their female father's insect life and cruelly broke his pride.

This will prevent his father-in-law from ever experiencing happiness again, leaving him to spend the rest of his life consumed by thoughts of revenge.

Before being sent to the palace, the Eighth Prince had experienced his female father's occasional moments of tenderness, which made him realize that if it weren't for those experiences, if he were a child born to his female father under normal circumstances, his female father would definitely treat him very, very well.

So he first hated the male insects that harmed his female father, even if one of them was his male father.

As he grew older and saw more male insects, he began to hate all male insects. He felt that male insects were inherently selfish and had no right to be superior to female insects.

He also knew that after those experiences, his female father also hated the male insect.

Over the years, he has been actively cooperating with his father's various revenge plans. Whether it's forming an assassin group or kidnapping the crown prince, he will find ways to help his father do whatever he wants.

On the one hand, it was because he wanted to make his female father happy, and on the other hand, it was also because he wanted to do it himself.

Moreover, because of his efforts to be obedient over the years, his father-in-law's attitude towards him has improved a lot, which makes him very happy.

......

The eighth prince, who was resting on his father's lap, gradually became sleepy.

At this moment, the female father suddenly spoke.

"Leicester, I'd like to make some adjustments to our plans."

Upon hearing that his father-in-law was about to get down to business, the Eighth Prince immediately sat up straight.

"Okay, Father, how do you want to adjust it?"

Their original plan was to incite a full-blown battle between the Crown Prince's faction and Duke Norton's faction, and then, during the fight, have the Crown Prince severely injured by the insects of Duke Norton's faction, while simultaneously having Duke Norton killed by the insects of the Crown Prince's faction.

Of course, Duke Norton only faked his death.

In any case, the Duke of Norton was also the son of a stepfather, and the Eighth Prince wouldn't really kill him, especially since the Duke of Norton would still be useful in the later plans.

The Crown Prince's serious injury was indeed true. The purpose of seriously injuring the Crown Prince was to give the Eighth Prince an opportunity to occupy a more important position within the Crown Prince's faction, thus facilitating subsequent actions.

This plan has been in place for a long time, and it would be quite troublesome to make changes now.

But the Eighth Prince didn't mind the trouble; he just wanted to fulfill his female father's wish.

"The Queen of Insects still doesn't fully trust you, and she's becoming increasingly wary of you. If Cornwall is just faking his death, the Queen of Insects might find something to use against him. It would be better to let Cornwall really die; it's a necessary sacrifice," said the Eighth Prince's father.

Cornwall is the name of the current Duke of Norton.

The Eighth Prince hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"But Father, would you be sad if Cornwall died?"

The Eighth Prince's female father said.

"Leicester, Cornwall is the greatest disgrace of my life, and he's becoming more and more like his damned father, just as selfish and self-serving. If it weren't for our plans, I probably would have found a way to kill him long ago."

Just as the Eighth Prince was about to say something, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

The Eighth Prince's mother gave him a look, and the Eighth Prince understood and immediately slipped into the secret passage.

Just as the Eighth Prince hid inside, a young male insect walked in; it was none other than the current Duke of Norton, Cornwall.

"Female Father, you must help me. Male Father is always siding with the Crown Prince. It's really too much."

Since learning about his origins, Duke Norton has directly addressed the Insect King as his father.

"How do you want me to help you?" the Eighth Prince's father asked expressionlessly.

"The male father is acting like this because the queen is whispering sweet nothings in his ear again. Female father, why don't you go to the palace and keep the male father company? What are you doing sitting at home all the time? If you don't go and coax the male father properly, how will I get the throne?"

The Eighth Prince's father clenched his fists, suppressing his anger as he asked.

"What identity can I use to enter the palace?"

"Oh, female father, everyone knows about you and male father now. Why don't you just go to male father? No insect will dare to say anything. Female father, you're already so old, and you and male father have me. What are you still ashamed of?"

"If you're really too embarrassed, Father Female, you can invite Father Male to the Duke's mansion. I'll make room for you. You can serve Father Male well then. If you make him happy, he won't always side with the Crown Prince."

The Eighth Prince's father-in-law closed his eyes and remained silent.

Unable to get an answer, the Duke of Norton continued to ask.

"Female Father, which method do you think is better? Should you go to the palace or invite Male Father here? Female Father, Female Father, say something!"

"roll."

Upon hearing the word "get lost," Duke Norton asked in astonishment, "What did you say, Father?"

"I told you to get out of here."

Duke Norton's face immediately showed an expression of embarrassment and anger, but the appearance of his mother made him dare not curse, so in the end he could only kick over the chair next to him and leave the room in a huff.
