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

Rhine leaned back in his office chair, tapping the table with his fingers as he recalled the information about the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince has never been well-known in the royal family and has never shown any particularly outstanding abilities or qualities. The most common evaluation of him by his attendants is that he has a gentle personality and treats his servants very well.

The eldest prince once told Rhine that his younger brother was a rare gem in the royal family.

Rhine and the Eighth Prince didn't have much contact before, and their real interaction started when Rhine learned that the Eighth Prince was involved with Song Mo.

When Rhine learned about Song Mo and the Eighth Prince, he thought the Eighth Prince would come to him soon and use his status to make him withdraw. However, the Eighth Prince made no move and did not contact him at all.

Once he was certain that Song Mo wouldn't give up on the Eighth Prince and that he couldn't be the Empress, Rhine decisively separated from Song Mo. At this time, the Eighth Prince came knocking on his door.

The Eighth Prince begged Rhine not to leave Song Mo, saying that he knew he was a newcomer and assured Rhine that he would only hold the title of Empress, and that all the power of the Empress would be given to Rhine.

However, Rhine did not agree at the time. He was not buying it. A title was a very important thing. With a title, one could do a lot of things.

After that, Rhine and the Eighth Prince had no further contact.

The last banquet was probably his second formal conversation with the Eighth Prince, although they didn't talk about anything particularly meaningful.

However, the Eighth Prince did help him at the last banquet. If the Eighth Prince hadn't managed to persuade Song Mo to leave, and if Song Mo had really made a scene on the spot, and too many insects had found out, the matter would have been difficult to handle.

He just didn't know why the Eighth Prince had invited him this time. Could it be about Song Mo?

Theoretically, that should be the case, but for some reason, Rhine always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

Regardless, he still had to keep the invitation from the Eighth Prince.

On the day of the meeting, Rhine arrived early at the meeting place arranged by the Eighth Prince, a private club with excellent privacy.

Upon entering the private room, they saw that the Eighth Prince was already waiting inside.

Upon seeing Rhine, the Eighth Prince immediately revealed a gentle and friendly smile.

"Commander of the Rhine Legion, please have a seat," the Eighth Prince said gently.

"Your Highness is too kind. Just call me Rhein."

Rhein responded as he sat down.

"Then you don't need to call me Your Highness anymore, just call me Lester."

"Your Highness is too kind. You are a prince, and I am a subject. How can I address you by your name directly?"

"Senior Rhine, you're too kind."

"Senior?" Rhine's tone carried a hint of doubt.

"Senior Rhine, you probably didn't notice, but I also graduated from St. Cyr Military Academy, just a few years after you. You were a legendary figure at the school, and many of your records remain unbroken to this day. I really admire you."

Rhine hadn't really noticed this, because the Eighth Prince was so obscure that no one would bother to inquire about him.

However, when asked about the Eighth Prince's attempt to get closer to him, Rhine simply smiled and didn't respond.

Seeing Rhine's lukewarm response, the Eighth Prince did not continue the topic.

"The main reason I invited you here today, Senior Rhine, is to discuss Lord Song Mo's matter," the Eighth Prince said with a smile.

"What is it?"

Rhine pretended to have no idea what the Eighth Prince was talking about.

"Senior Rhine, please stop playing dumb with me. I know that what happened online was wrong of Lord Song Mo. He shouldn't have provoked your lord, Lord Lu Yuan, again. I apologize to both of you on his behalf."

After the Eighth Prince finished speaking with a smile, he took out another card and pushed it to Rhine.

"This card contains two million star coins. Please give it to Lord Lu Yuan on my behalf, Senior Rhine. This is my apology on behalf of Lord Song Mo. I think these star coins should be enough to make up for Lord Lu Yuan's emotional distress."

Rhine didn't take the card, but said coldly.

"My lord is not short of money."

Despite being lightly nudged by Rhine, the Eighth Prince's smile remained unchanged.

"I know that with Senior Rhine here, this amount of money is certainly nothing in Lord Lu Yuan's eyes. However, what is important is not the money itself, but that it represents Lord Song Mo's apology."

"As for the statement online, I will also persuade Lord Song Mo to delete it. At the same time, I will give an explanation to Senior Rhine and Lord Lu Yuan, and guarantee that similar things will not happen again in the future."

After thinking for a moment, Rhine took the card.

"I hope Your Highness will keep your word. Besides, Your Highness hasn't even married Song Mo yet, and you're already worrying about him like this. Song Mo is truly blessed."

The Eighth Prince gave a bitter smile.

"In a while, the royal family should announce my marriage to Lord Song Mo. At this time, I naturally don't want anything to happen to Lord Song Mo."

"Although I am a prince, I don't have much status in the royal family. My father doesn't care about me, so it's very difficult for me to find a good male insect. Lord Song Mo is the best choice I can find."

"Actually, what I said to you before, Rhine-senpai, was all from the heart. I really wanted to become a family with Rhine-senpai."

Rhine raised his hand, stopping the Eighth Prince from continuing.

"Let's not bring up the past anymore. Since Your Highness has personally intervened on Song Mo's behalf, let's let it go this time. In the future, please persuade him to focus on his own affairs."

"Don't worry, I won't let Lord Song Mo bother you again."

After finishing her important business, Rhine exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Eighth Prince before leaving, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

No one knows how the Eighth Prince persuaded Song Mo, but Song Mo withdrew the previous statement that very day and replaced it with a new one.

The new statement is much more concise and clear, without any of the ambiguous language.

It was only said that Rhine and Song Mo had broken up long ago due to personality clashes, but they hadn't announced it to the public.

The incident where Rhine collided with Song Mo was actually just a performance by the two insects, all for the sake of the mission.

The new statement not only reversed the mudslinging against Lu Yuan, but also helped Rhine remove a minor stain.

After all, although the joint statement from the military and the Xiongbao Association explained the reasons why Rhine did those things, the fact remains that Rhine crashed his aircraft into the male insect.

As a result, Rhine has also been condemned by many Song Mo fans online.

Now that this statement has been released, all of Song Mo's fans have shut up.

......

That evening, Lu Yuan took the card from Rhine with a bewildered expression.

"What is it?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It's an award for outstanding family members issued by the military. You can spend the money in it however you like; it's all for you," Rhein casually made up.

The next day, Lu Yuan checked the amount in his card and felt completely numb.
