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

Inside the Queen's palace, the Queen sat in a chair, lost in thought, pondering the interrogation results that the Crown Prince had just told her. At this moment, the Crown Prince and the First Prince were also sitting in the lower seats.

"Father, I think there's a high chance that the worm behind it is Norton. My cousin is probably trying to recreate the old story of Jeffrey and Sauron," the Crown Prince said coldly.

Jeffrey is a worm who was the heir to the throne of a certain royal family. He was tyrannical from a young age and took pleasure in torturing female worms.

However, because the female insects had not yet launched a major resistance at that time, their status was still very low, and the insect king at that time only had one male, Jeffrey, so no matter how many things Jeffrey did that angered the heavens and the insects, he remained firmly in the position of crown prince.

Until one day, Jeffrey actually killed insects in the street.

That day, he went out of the palace with his attendants for a stroll. For some reason, he got into a betting frenzy and randomly picked two female insects on the street with his attendants, betting on which female insect had longer wings.

Then, to verify the results, Jeffrey actually ordered his servants to dig out the wings of the two female insects in the street and compare which one had longer wings.

Having concluded that he had won, Jeffrey laughed heartily, then strode away with his servants, leaving the two wretched female insects lying on the ground, barely alive.

Only after Jeffrey and his entourage had completely left did the road bug dare to come over and take the two female bugs to the hospital.

However, because medical technology was not as advanced as it is now, and the two female insects were of low rank and not physically strong, they died shortly after being sent to the hospital.

This immediately sparked outrage among the public. They couldn't imagine what kind of good life they would have if such a reckless and tyrannical insect really became the insect king.

As a result, many people took to the streets to protest Jeffrey's behavior and demand that the royal family replace Jeffrey as crown prince.

At the same time, the nobles and ministers at the top also stood on the same side as the people and put pressure on the royal family, because they did not want to have such an irrational madman on their heads in the future.

Under immense pressure, the royal family had no choice but to agree to change the crown prince.

Since the Insect King at that time had no other male sons, he could only choose to adopt his nephew Soren and make Soren the crown prince.

Although Sauron didn't have any particularly good qualities, he was at least mentally sound and knew not to do bad things in public. He also knew how to put on a show of respect, which allowed him to successfully inherit the throne.

As for the original crown prince, Jeffrey, he later disappeared from public view, and no one knows what became of him.

After hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Queen did not respond immediately, but looked at the First Prince.

"Augustus, what do you think of this matter?"

"Father, I agree with Franz's opinion; it's highly likely that it was Norton. I had the insects check the necklace Franz gave me that belonged to Camel; it was given to Camel by Norton's female insect brother."

After listening to the two children, the Queen lowered her head and considered for a while, then looked up and spoke to the Crown Prince.

"Franz, now that you know there's a venomous snake watching you, you must be more careful in the future and not give the worm any leverage. Also, do you need me to clean up your female servants and slaves in the palace?"

"Father, you don't need to do it, I can do it myself."

"Okay, you're all grown up now, and it's time for you to learn to handle some things on your own."

After speaking with the Crown Prince, the Queen turned to the First Prince.

"Augustus, you must keep a firm grip on the army at this time. Only with the army in hand can we have the confidence to fight other insects."

"Don't worry, Father, four out of the Empire's ten army groups are commanded by our insects."

The queen insect nodded, then seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.

"What did the Third Army say? I've always admired Rhein, but he really acted impulsively this time."

"Without the male insect's mental support, he will begin to show signs of declining strength in five years at most. At that time, he may not be able to continue to hold the position of commander of the Third Army Corps."

"We cannot let the Third Army escape our control. What are your plans regarding this, Augustus?" the Queen Insect asked.

"Father, I have already chosen Rhine's successor. In the next few days, I will send the insect to the Third Army Group so that Rhine can take good care of it for a while. When Rhine's health fails, the successor can take over."

The queen nodded in satisfaction once again.

"Very good. When you send the insect over, have a good talk with Rhine. She's a smart child and should understand our good intentions."

"In addition, if Rhein performs well and is willing to hand over the reins properly, you can promise him that when he leaves the Third Army, we will arrange another sinecure for him with all the same benefits, as a way of repaying his kindness in saving Franz."

"But if he doesn't know what's good for him and dares to do something underhanded that affects our grand plan, then Augustus, you know what to do," the Queen said, staring intently into the Crown Prince's eyes.

"I know the Empress Dowager. If Rhine dares to become an obstacle for us, then we will eliminate him," the Crown Prince replied.

"Very good. You have always been the child I trust the most. You can all go back now. You know what to do next."

"Yes, Father." The Crown Prince and the First Prince answered simultaneously.

......

As soon as the Crown Prince returned to his palace, his subordinates, dressed in red robes, brought him bad news.

"Your Highness, Shelley has committed suicide."

The Crown Prince glared at the Red Robe Insect, then kicked it again, and asked fiercely.

"What happened? We told you to keep a close eye on him, how did he manage to find a chance to commit suicide?"

The red-robed worm immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"It was my negligence that led me to discover that Shelley had hidden poison in her mouth. I was caught off guard and Shelley was given the opportunity to take the poison and commit suicide."

The Crown Prince was furious and gave the Red Robe Insect a severe scolding. The Red Robe Insect knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.

"Fine, he's dead, so be it. We've already gotten all the answers we needed to. Now, go and kill his brother Emil right now," said the Crown Prince, who had finally calmed down after venting his anger.

"Uh, but Your Highness, didn't you promise Shelley that you would spare her brother?" the Red Robe Insect asked in confusion.

"Ha, do I look like a fool? Letting his brother go, and then waiting for his brother to use the excuse of avenging his brother to assassinate me? If you don't nip it in the bud, you'll only be asking for trouble. You go right now and don't let that Emil get away."

"Yes, ma'am."
