……

"My name is Vespa Bicolor," said the blonde female bee, "and I am the current head of the bee family."

Gao Tian simply watched him from a distance, his eyes full of wariness: "What is it?"

The beautiful female bee said sadly, "Do you have time to listen to my story now?"

Gao Tian took a breath. Damn it, is this coming for him?

Gao Tian politely declined, saying, "I suggest you don't."

Otherwise, once the Crown Prince returns, I doubt your fate will be in danger.

"Please don't misunderstand, Your Highness. I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just feeling very frustrated," said the female wasp. "I've been holding it in for too long, and I don't know who to talk to. Please listen to my troubles."

Gao Tian refused to step forward: "Please stand up and speak first."

The head of the Bee family shook her head and did not stand up: "When speaking to members of the royal family, one must kneel, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

"Are you speaking to the master of the country from the perspective of a subject?" Gao Tian asked.

The head of the Bee family nodded, bowing her head deeply: "Yes."

As the Crown Princess, this was a plea from her subjects.

Having never been a Crown Princess before, Gao Tian had no experience whatsoever. He had no idea how to be a Crown Princess, so he could only think about the attitudes of priests towards their followers in some religions on Earth and hesitantly try to return to the path.

"Well, alright then... what do you want to talk about, child?"

The kneeling head of the Bee family trembled.

"I want to repent." The head of the Bee family lowered her head to the ground.

"What are you repenting for?"

"I repent for my foolishness." The head of the Beauty Bee family did not look up, keeping her head tightly buried in the ground, and choked out, "It seems that our Beauty Bee family always does wrong things."

"Four hundred years ago, the difference in status between males and females in the Liernia Empire was not so great. At that time, our patriarch's male insect betrayed our patriarch, and our patriarch imprisoned him."

"The head of the family believes that female insects are the group that controls power and should not be subordinate to male insects."

"This is how the box containing disaster is opened."

"Most of the male bees are absurd. Other species saw what our bee family did and followed suit. For a time, the practice of imprisoning male bees as breeding tools became a common practice. The female bees tasted the sweetness of power and couldn't stop, becoming even more outrageous."

"This situation lasted for less than twenty years before everything spiraled out of control. First, the imprisoned male insects died in large numbers, and then the unimprisoned male insects died of sudden heartbreak for no apparent reason. Regardless of age or imprisonment status, large numbers of male insects died of depression. The male insect population of the Liernia Empire almost died out, with only the young male insects still in their eggs surviving."

"As the instigators, our reputation as a beautiful bee family has been completely ruined. For the next few hundred years, no mid- to high-level male bees were willing to come into contact with us."

The tears of the beautiful bee female, with her molten gold-like hair, dripped onto the muddy ground. "I am a high-ranking female, only slightly inferior to His Highness the Crown Prince. My male master is a low-ranking male who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore, and can barely even produce pheromones. But I have to endure him because our beautiful bee family needs to continue."

"After hearing what Her Highness the Crown Princess said today, I really... Two hundred billion male insects, if only you had come a few years earlier... If only you had come a few years earlier, how wonderful that would have been."

The conversation was long, but Gao Tian stood still and listened quietly until he finished speaking.

It wasn't out of pity for him, nor because she thought he was handsome, but because he was now the Crown Princess of the Zerg, and he was listening to the complaints of one of his subjects as a monarch.

At this moment, they are not of opposite sexes, but father and son.

From the Crown Princess's perspective, whether she was confiding or repenting, he had to listen to her.

After the head of the Beauty Bee family finished speaking, Gao Tian asked, "Are you finished?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then I'll give my opinion on this matter." Gao Tian wiped his forehead. "I can't say you're right, nor can I say you're innocent."

"I don't understand the laws of Lehrnia, but I know that the laws of your Zerg race are very protective of male Zerg. You may genuinely have your reasons, and the law may not be able to punish male Zerg, but that is not a reason for you to imprison them. Revenge and imprisonment are two completely different concepts. If your patriarch at the time had killed that male Zerg, I would say you were not wrong, but since your patriarch imprisoned that male Zerg, then I can no longer condone your actions."

"I can tell you feel wronged. Although you were the first to do it, you weren't the only ones, so why are you being punished so severely?"

"20 years. I noticed that you used the phrase 'lasted for less than 20 years.' Do you think 20 years is a very short time? 20 years is a very long time," Gao Tian said.

"At the very beginning of this situation, when you saw other races following suit, didn't you feel smug? Didn't you? Did you think you were creating a great new era? When you saw male insects reduced to imprisoned breeding tools, did you feel complacent about it? Evil is evil, and the consequences of evil will come back to haunt you."

"Genders should be equal. No, I won't even say genders should be equal. It's absolutely wrong for any person or insect to trample on any other person or insect. I can't comfort you or console you, because mistakes can't be comforted. You can repent, but don't expect to get the forgiveness that belongs to the victims from me. Your actions back then caused the deaths of billions of insects, directly causing the insect population to plummet below the critical point, and directly leading to the current situation of the Liernia Empire. Not only the male insects that almost died out back then, but even the female insects today are victims of your mistakes. I don't think you're wronged. I'd be surprised if your race hasn't gone extinct."

Revenge and imprisonment are two completely different concepts.

Revenge can be just, but imprisonment is not.

Imprisonment is the act of using another person as a tool for personal gain, either by exploiting the imprisoned person for one's own benefit or by seizing benefits from others.

Gao Tian didn't know why the gender status and the number of females in Liernia were so different.

Why is it that male insects have an extremely high status when the female insects are the ones who control the power?

Now I finally understand. It turns out that the male insects were almost wiped out in the previous wave, which is why the protection of male insects has become so pathological.

The actions of the bee family are absolutely wrong.

The millions of female bees suffering now, and the millions of male bees that died out before, are the victims of the actions of the bee family.

Gao Tian is not. Gao Tian is an outsider; Gao Tian cannot forgive the victims on their behalf.
