......

But unexpectedly, only a year after getting married, only one of those beautiful wings remained.

Bambo suddenly gasped, "Your Highness, the viewership has exploded!"

The numbers in the bottom right corner of the screen are increasing by millions per second. Comments are flooding the side of the screen like a waterfall:

It's General Kelly.

[Oh my god, General Kelley of the Floodfly family, he was once hailed as the most handsome Blackwing insect, how could any insect have the heart to burn a Floodfly's wings...]

My female cub has the same injury!

It is only natural for the male to dominate the female's body.

[They dare to be picky even when there are male insects around; they don't know how lucky they are.]

Seeing the comments above, I feel like the Empire is doomed.

[Holy crap, the first divorce case in the history of the empire! Voting is like making history with your own hands!]

At 16:00, all entertainment channels on StarNet automatically switched.

Holographic images of the male and female insects appeared above each terminal.

The Crown Prince's voice-over rang out: "Citizens of the Empire, what you are now judging is not just a marriage, but also a case of murdering a serving female soldier... Plaintiff: Female Insect Kelly, former Major General of the Third Legion, served for fifteen years, and... Defendant: Male Insect Corwin Alt, former spouse of Kelly, family..."

The Crown Prince explained the case.

The whole story, including the identities of the two insects, will be explained in detail.

The barrage of comments gradually stagnated.

After the Crown Prince finished explaining the case, he zoomed in on General Kelly's video window.

"Next is the time for the plaintiff and the defendant to present their arguments. First, the plaintiff, General Kelley, will speak."

The young female insect's face was covered in swollen bruises and wounds. Her expression showed a hint of pain, clearly indicating that her instinct to defy the male was causing her discomfort.

But he still clenched his fist firmly and painfully, and said clearly, word by word: "Hello, everyone, I am Kelley Drakenfer. Today I am filing for divorce from Colvin Alter and accusing him of deliberately destroying my wings and violently abusing me, causing me to become disabled as an active-duty female major general and thus ending my military career."

His name is Keyley Dragonfly.

Dragonfly is the race name of their dragonfly species.

He was also the young master of the Dragonfly family.

Dragonfly.

Very easy to understand: a flying dragon.

They, the dragonfly race, are never to be trifled with.

It's okay that this didn't happen before, it will happen in the future. At worst, we'll just have to die. Today, he's going to fight to the death.

General Kelly recounted everything that had happened during his year of marriage.

There are many things to discuss, and the discussion is long, but he will explain everything clearly, word for word.

General Kelly recounted the events of the case.

Corwin Alter took pleasure in torturing female insects.

During the year of their marriage, he suffered from incurable illness more than a dozen times.

She is a high-ranking female soldier with a strong physique.

A few days ago, Corwin was at a gathering with friends. He hung Corwin up because Corwin wasn't compliant enough, and then, while chatting and laughing with his friends, he playfully burned off one of Corwin's wings.

Seventeen minutes into his narration, the first violent incident erupted. A group of female dragonflies surrounded the Alt family's mansion on the central star, but were persuaded to leave by the guards.

The Crown Prince specifically instructed that venting anger and protests are allowed, but they must not escalate into a riot. Any attempt to discipline them must wait until the legal verdict is reached.

In the 19th minute, General Kelley's Legion issued a joint statement on the StarNet Military Forum.

Regardless of the outcome of today's referendum, whether or not the divorce will go through, the Third Army Corps will definitely pursue this matter to the end.

In the 24th minute, the official account of the president of the Male Protection Association posted a StarNet update, saying that the insects who supported divorce in the referendum were "betraying the protection of male insects".

In the 25th minute, the Crown Prince posted a StarNet update that read: "Fuck your mother."

While with the Crown Princess, I didn't learn much else, but I did learn a lot about traditional Chinese culture.

But more than half of the empire's citizens felt that...

He's so cool; he's the coolest crown prince in the entire empire's history.

It took General Kelly a long time to finish speaking.

After finishing his statement, he firmly said to the camera, "I want a divorce. Thank you all."

The blue, which indicated support, instantly overwhelmed the red.

The Crown Prince then said, "Now it is the defendant, Corwin's, turn to present his case."

General Kelly's window shrinks, while the male insect's window enlarges.

The male insect, forced to sit in the chair, didn't defend himself; his chest heaved violently as he glared fiercely at the camera: "So what if I hit him? It's only right for me to hit my mate when he disobeys! It's a right granted to me by tradition! But you, Crown Prince, aren't you afraid that what happened four hundred years ago will happen again by keeping me here today?"

The Crown Prince coldly shrunk his window: "Very well, it seems the defendant has nothing to say. The phase of the confrontation between the two sides is now over. Please begin the vote."

The blue color, indicating support, climbed steadily.

This male insect named Corwin is a spoiled idiot.

Once the color red has been manipulated, no amount of effort can reverse the situation.

The live stream camera was turned off.

The Crown Prince opened the shrunken communication screen with the Speaker of Parliament.

"Speaker Invika, did you see it? What was the result?" the Crown Prince asked.

The red-haired female insect council president's face was grim: "Are you satisfied?"

"It's just so-so."

"You've staked the throne," Council Speaker Invika asked grimly. "I don't understand. Is it worth it for those female insects? What's wrong with letting them remain at the bottom? The empire controls the females by controlling the males; isn't that a very stable form of rule—"

"What do you know about governance? This throne is mine. Do I need you to teach me how to rule this country? Speaker Invika, have you forgotten your place?" the Crown Prince interrupted him, speaking coldly.

Speaker Invika realized he had said the wrong thing.

His words just now were tantamount to challenging the queen's position.

The crown prince could even directly assume that he was challenging the queen's usurpation of the throne, define him as a challenger, and go directly to his residence to twist his head off, without any insect saying that he was wrong.

Although still unwilling, the red fire ant immediately bowed and said, "I am very sorry, Your Highness. I misspoke. Please forgive my overstepping."

This crown prince is unconventional, yet he is also incredibly powerful.

The Crown Prince looked at him, his beautiful face displaying a terrifyingly cold expression: "You should be glad that I haven't ascended the throne yet, otherwise, based on your audacity in openly provoking the Queen, I could have dragged you out and hanged you immediately according to the law."

The council president lowered his head even further: "I'm very sorry, Your Highness, please forgive me."

"I am not in the Empire, so let it go this time," the Crown Prince continued coldly. "Chairman Invika, I hope you will be careful with your words and actions in the future."

Then, without waiting for the speaker of the council to react, the crown prince waved his hand and shut down the communication.

I don't want to see his old face anymore.

You stupid piece of crap.

Sooner or later, they'll kill him and the chairman of the Xiongbao Association.

Seeing that their prince had finished his call, Bambo handed him his communicator: "Your Highness, General Kelly wishes to communicate with you. Since he does not have your communication privileges, he is calling me instead."

The communication screen displays an incoming call from Kailai, waiting to be connected.

The Crown Prince raised his hand to answer the call.

"Kelly".

"Your Highness, good day."

The Crown Prince pulled up the real-time referendum data and saw that the blue bar supporting Kelly's divorce had reached 77%: "It looks like your divorce is settled."

General Kelly, kneeling on the hospital bed opposite him, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"No need. Actually, it's not entirely for you; I just want to see how long the empire can survive."

"But you could have just approved my application, letting me bear all the pressure of defying the leader, and you would have faced far less controversy." General Kelly's head was buried deep in the hospital bed. "But you still chose a referendum, broke ties with the Xiongbao Association, laid everything bare for them to see, protected my reputation, and gave me a fair chance..."

If the Crown Prince simply wanted to see the public's reaction, there was no need for such a grand display.

They approve it directly, then wait and see the public's reaction; they can't see what kind of reaction the public wants to see.

The Crown Prince did not want people to criticize this matter.

So lay all the facts out in the open and show them.

He might have been condemned by everyone before, but now... he is the victim.

General Kelly kept his head buried deep in the hospital bed and did not lift it.

The monitor screen behind the hospital bed reflected his tearful image.

The Crown Prince looked at him.

Kelly's shoulders didn't tremble at all, but her tears had already soaked through the sheets.

Seeing the once strong female soldier turn into this state is particularly distressing.

Female insects are also his subjects.

Why were the female insects constantly being trampled on?

The parliament and the Xiongbao Association deserve to be beheaded ten thousand times.

"It's not all for you, but also because we need witnesses," the Crown Prince comforted him. "We need 9.2 billion eyes to see simultaneously the atrocities hidden beneath the surface of gender. I'll do what I can. The female insects have suffered enough; they don't need to suffer any longer."
