Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

He paused, as if remembering something, then pressed his cheek against Lin Luo's hair, his voice lower and carrying a different kind of tenderness:

"Just like when you looked at me while I was unconscious, you brought more than one method."

Lin Luo felt a little embarrassed by what he said, her ears turning slightly red, but her heart felt as if it were being soaked in a warm current.

He turned his head, nuzzled Ailand's chin, and muttered softly:

"It's not as noble as you make it out to be. I just did what I thought was right."

"It is because you believed it was 'right' and persisted in doing it that all of this came about."

Ayland affirmed, reaching out to grasp Lin Luo's hand, his fingertips gently tracing the back of his hand.

"You lit the first spark, and now, the spark has begun to spread like wildfire. My lord, you are the first wind that blew away the fog that had shrouded the eyes of many insects."

Lin Luo turned off the light screen, turned around, and wrapped his arms around Ailand's neck face to face, pressing his forehead against Ailand's forehead, looking into those eyes filled with his own reflection.

"Then this wind has to keep blowing," Lin Luo said with a smile, his eyes sparkling.

"And it's not just the wind all alone anymore; there's you, there's Parks, there's Theodore, there's Minister Herbert and Dean Tynes, and the others."

"There are still so many insects on the StarNet starting to try to make a difference. We'll walk this path together, making it wider and wider, right, Ayland?"

Ailand placed a tender kiss on Linluo's forehead, as if making a vow.

"Yes," he replied, his voice steady and strong. "No matter what lies ahead, I will be by your side, together."

The sunlight flowed quietly, elongating their embracing figures and warming the entire room.

------------

On a seemingly ordinary morning, a medical account suddenly and without warning published an investigative report of tens of thousands of words, which directly targeted the current Second Prince, Keith, and was pushed out with extremely high privileges.

The report included a large amount of shocking data, processed screenshots of communications records, images of laboratory debris, and video testimonies from several "anonymous insect witnesses" whose faces were blurred and whose voices were distorted but who were actually horrifying insects.

Three of the charges are the most serious:

1. Illegal drug development and human trials:

The document details several underground laboratories secretly funded and led by the Second Prince, dedicated to developing prohibited drugs that could "forcefully enhance mental power" or "deeply control female insects/lower male insects."

These drugs are extremely unstable and have terrifying side effects, causing many female insects and even several male insects, who were used as test subjects, to suffer mental breakdowns and die.

2. Manipulation and persecution of higher male insects:

His Excellency Carlos's death was made public for the first time and classified as murder.

The report presents comparative data on Carlos before and after his mental exhaustion, as well as his clandestine connections with the Second Prince's faction regarding "potion supplies" and "mission orders."

It is clearly pointed out that Carlos's later erratic behavior and public criticism of Linlo were the result of drug addiction and coercion.

The report also listed three other similar cases—all of which were medium-sized male insects that had "accidentally" died or disappeared in recent years due to "sudden mental exhaustion."

They had all had close contact with the Second Prince or had done "private matters" for him during their lives, and their causes of death were all attributed to "mental exhaustion" or "accidents." Now they have been reconnected.

3. Use pesticides to control key insect species:

The accusation is that the second prince used these illegal drugs to try to control some noble female insects, mid-level military officers, and even court servants, in order to build his underground intelligence and operations network.

The report concluded in strong terms: "...His Highness Case's actions are not merely a simple power struggle or misconduct, but a serious crime of systematically trampling on imperial laws, destroying the precious bloodline of male insects, and endangering the foundation of the empire."

Their despicable acts and the tragic consequences are too numerous to recount.

The moment the accusations were made, StarNet was on the verge of crashing.

"My God...is this true?! Lord Carlos was...was killed by the Second Prince?!"

"Those lab photos are horrifying! The way those female insect test subjects looked..."

"No wonder Lord Carlos is targeting Lord Lin Luo! It turns out it's drug control! How could the Second Prince do such a thing to someone who is also a male?!"

"A-rank prince is actually such a devil behind the scenes? My past admiration for him seems like a complete joke!"

"Disillusionment! Utter disillusionment! The glorious image of the royal family has collapsed!"

"He must be severely punished! He must be severely punished! No matter who he is, murdering Your Excellency the Male Insect, and by such means, is absolutely unforgivable!"

"Where is His Majesty the Insect Emperor? Come forth and uphold justice! Your son has committed such a grave crime; the royal family must give the entire empire an explanation!"

Public opinion, like a tsunami, shattered the Second Prince's past image of "debonair charm," replacing it with labels such as "hypocrite," "schemer," and "demon who harms his own kind."

Anger, shock, and a sense of being deceived permeated the StarNet.

Almost simultaneously with the report detonating on the StarNet, Marshal Arnold personally led an elite force, and their hovercars landed directly in front of the Second Prince's residence, shattering the tranquility of the place.

The second prince, Case, had obviously also received the news. He came out to greet them with a livid face, trying to remain calm, but his eyes flashed with shock, anger, and disbelief.

He demanded sharply, "Arnold! What do you mean by this? Leading an army to storm a member of the royal family's residence—are you trying to rebel?!"

Field Marshal Arnold stood tall and straight, his silver-grey eyes appearing cold and dignified beneath the brim of his military cap.

Without any pleasantries, he directly presented the arrest warrant issued by the military prosecutor's office and bearing the marshal's seal, his voice booming so that every insect in the vicinity could hear him:

"Your Highness Case, the evidence against you is conclusive. You are suspected of leading illegal research into psychoactive drugs, conducting forbidden live experiments, and murdering Carlos and several other male insects."

"By order of the Imperial Military Special Court, you are being arrested in accordance with the law. Please cooperate."

"Ridiculous! That's slander! It's fabricated evidence!"

The second prince retorted sharply, attempting to unleash his mental power to exert pressure, but his A-level mental power proved pale and powerless in the face of the fully armed and clearly well-prepared elite troops.

"I want to see my father! This is a coup!"

"His Majesty cannot see you at the moment." Marshal Arnold's tone was flat. He said no more, raising his hand to indicate, "Take him away."

The female soldiers acted swiftly, ignoring the Second Prince's struggles and roars, subdued him, and put him into a specially made prison cart that could isolate mental energy.

The entire process was recorded by more than one hidden camera.

Soon, images of the second prince being escorted by the army, looking somewhat disheveled, quickly circulated online.

"They've really arrested him! The Marshal himself has been dispatched!"

"Look at him... he has no princely demeanor at all, he looks like a gambler who has lost everything."

"Unbelievable... I was supporting His Highness on the StarNet just yesterday!"
