Lu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, giving Rhein a proper, routine mental reassurance.

Although Rhine kept making small moves and trying to escalate the situation, Lu Yuan resisted the temptations, and Rhine could only give up with great regret.

Rhine's claim that his mental sea was uncomfortable was just an excuse, but when Lu Yuan actually entered Rhine's mental sea, he discovered that there were changes inside.

Many tiny cracks appeared in Rhine's mental sea, and several large cracks that Lu Yuan had not yet repaired also showed a tendency to expand further. Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Yuan quickly reached out his mental tentacles.

After the usual comforting, Rhine was a little drowsy. Looking at Rhine nodding her head, Lu Yuan also felt sleepy. He changed into his pajamas and sat on the bed.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the strange thing he had seen in the next room. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked about it.

"Rhine, why is the Crown Prince still unconscious?"

When Lu Yuan went to the next room to get medicine from Kamer, he saw that the Crown Prince was still lying straight on the metal bed, showing no sign of waking up.

Even if he fainted from the pain, he had been moved around so much that he should have woken up by now.

"The Crown Prince will not wake up for the time being because we have given him a sedative."

"The female insect that bought the Crown Prince and Kamel hated high-ranking male insects very much. The Crown Prince was constantly abused in her hands, and his wounds never healed. Although the Crown Prince had already fainted when he came out, we were afraid that he would wake up and groan in the middle, so we injected him with a sedative as a precaution."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. There were only a few insects in the room, so it was obvious who it was.

Lu Yuan covered Rhine completely with the blanket, then got out of bed, opened the door, and quickly closed it behind him to prevent Kamel from seeing the scene inside the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked.

"There's nothing in that room, how are we going to sleep at night?" Kamel said.

That makes sense. It's still quite chilly at night, and you really can't sleep without something to cover yourself with.

So Lu Yuan carried two quilts and a mattress to the next room, intending to leave after putting the things down. However, when Kamel saw the quilts and blankets, he had no idea how to lay them out.

Seeing that Kamel was such a spoiled young master who couldn't do anything, Lu Yuan could only help make the bed without saying a word.

When they returned to the bedroom, they saw a transparent screen and keyboard floating in the air, and Rhine was typing on the keyboard.

"Rhine, what kind of high-tech is this?"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

"This isn't high-tech at all, it's just a regular communicator. I need to send out the news that His Highness the Crown Prince has been rescued."

......

Inside Eleanor's Palace, the residence of the Zerg royal family on the capital planet.

In a spacious study that is both luxurious and artistic, a female insect is sitting on an ornately carved chair reviewing documents.

The female insect had long golden hair, a handsome face but a cold expression. At this moment, she was staring at the computer on the desk, carefully looking at the reports inside.

Knock knock knock—

A rapid knocking sounded at the door, and the female insect frowned slightly.

"Come in."

A servant walked in, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Your Highness, we have received a secret report that there is news about the Crown Prince."

"What? Let me see it right now!"

The eldest prince suddenly stood up, snatched the paper from the servant's hand, and began to read it quickly, skimming through it.

"That's great, Franz has been rescued!" the eldest prince said excitedly.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we hurry and report to Her Majesty the Queen?" the attendant reminded him.

"Yes, I'll go find the female father right now."

The eldest prince immediately left the study. As soon as he left, his face returned to its usual cold and calm demeanor, leaving Chong with no clue as to what was going on.

The eldest prince walked toward the queen's palace, his steps steady and elegant. The servants he encountered along the way all bowed and greeted him.

Passing by gushing fountains, meticulously manicured large gardens, and luxurious corridors adorned with reliefs, murals, and gold decorations, we finally arrived at the magnificent queen's palace.

Upon entering the palace, one sees a graceful and elegant female insect sitting in a chair reading a book; this is the current Queen of the Insect Empire.

"Female father".

The Queen of Insects raised her head, her face full of smiles. Although she was clearly getting on in years, she still possessed a charm that time could not conceal, and her features were very similar to those of the First Prince.

"Augustus, what brings you here at this hour?"

The eldest prince gave the queen a wink, and she understood, dismissing all the servants in the room.

After all the attendants had gone far away, the eldest prince stepped forward, leaned close to the queen's ear, and whispered, "Father, I have received a secret report that Franz has been rescued."

"Really!!!" The Queen of Insects stared intently at the First Prince.

The eldest prince nodded affirmatively.

The Queen of Insects stood up from her chair and paced back and forth in her bedchamber, her face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

"This is wonderful! This is truly the best news I've received in three years."

Once he had finally regained his composure, the Queen of Insects sat back down in his chair, and at the same time, his demeanor changed.

"Augustus, so what are your plans next?"

"Pai Chong, bring Franz back as soon as possible."

"That's not enough. Don't forget, we still have enemy insects lurking in the shadows. They absolutely don't want Franz to come back. They will do everything they can to make your brother die on his way back to the palace."

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Then I will send out more assassins, divided into two teams. One team will hurry to the desolate planet to meet and protect Franz; the other team will remain hidden to keep watch. If any insects are found to be acting strangely, they will be captured. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without exception."

"Yes, go ahead and do it. Augustus, remember this: you must bring your brother back no matter what. Only if your brother successfully inherits the throne will we have a good life. Otherwise, you know what will happen to us."

......

In a secret room shimmering with eerie light, two insects, one standing and one kneeling, were draped in black robes and wore masks.

"So, the Crown Prince is coming back soon, and that Rao who said he had killed the Crown Prince was lying to me." The standing insect said in a low voice, which was clearly altered.

The kneeling insect lowered its head.

"It was my dereliction of duty. I never expected Rao to dare to fool me with a fake corpse. I will not let him get away with this."

"Alright, the Rao bug isn't important. The focus now is the Crown Prince. We absolutely cannot let him come back alive. Send out bugs immediately and make sure the Crown Prince is killed on this desolate planet."

"After killing the Crown Prince, don't let any of the insects on the desolate planet related to this matter go. I shouldn't have had any pity for those liars before."

"Your subordinate obeys."
