Chapter 189 The Days Mikel Was Away
If it is ultimately proven that Aris is not dead, then his actions will be considered desertion.
Aris, a female member of the Zerg royal family, not only failed to set a good example but also broke the law. If he returns, his fate will likely be grim.
"Yes, Marshal, I understand what to do." Mikel handed the screen back to Marshal Anaos with both hands.
"Hmm." Marshal Anaos took the screen, turned around, and placed it back on the table. He said, "In any case, let's keep this private for now; we can't leak it out."
These videos haven't spread widely on the StarNet yet, so the royal family probably hasn't noticed them yet.
Aris's female father passed away many years ago, and the other royal insects don't care much about him, so they probably won't recognize him easily.
Mikel: "Yes, Marshal."
Marshal Anas sat down, looked at Mikel, and asked, "And Mikel, what did your patriarch say? Did he agree to your going?"
Mikel answered truthfully, "Marshal, my lord agrees."
"Then you should go quickly," Marshal Anaos urged. "It's almost time. Take Elijah with you. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
The main reason is that Mikel is quite far along in her pregnancy, and by bringing Elijah along, Mikel can ask him for help if needed.
As he approached the door, Mikel paused and turned around.
Field Marshal Anas saw him and asked, "Mikel, is there anything else?"
Mikel pursed his lips, looking quite uncomfortable, and said, "Marshal, while I'm away from the capital, could you please look after my lord?"
The distance is too far. If he cannot get back immediately, I hope the Marshal can also help.
"Haha, don't worry, I will." Marshal Anaos readily agreed. Opportunities to be troubled by Mikel were rare, but Lord Cheng Chu was one of them. It seemed that Lord Cheng Chu held a very important place in Mikel's heart.
"Thank you, Marshal." Hearing Marshal Anaos's hearty laughter, Mikel tightened his grip on the doorknob, and finally walked away with a slightly awkward expression.
Behind him came Marshal Anaos's even louder laughter.

As expected, Cheng Chu returned from the Saintly Vine cultivation base and received news that Mikel had already set off on his way.
Mikel: [My lord, I'm on my way. Take care of yourself and don't worry about me. I'll be back soon.]
Cheng Chu: [Okay, honey, go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about me, I'll wait for you and the baby to come home.]
After replying to the message, Cheng Chu took a nap as usual, and then attended her afternoon classes with her tutor.
As dusk settled, Cheng Chu, under 0123's supervision, ate a simple dinner alone, went to the bathroom to wash up alone, and finally sat in bed waiting for Mikel's message while studying Zerg parenting videos on his personal terminal.
After finally getting a message from Mikel, they only exchanged a few short sentences before Mikel stopped replying.
Excluding his morning break, Cheng Chu hadn't slept alone at night for a long time. Without his wife beside him, he actually felt a little uneasy.
It seems that habit is a terrible thing.
Finally, after much thought, Cheng Chu fell asleep hugging Mikel's pillow in the middle of the night.
A new day quickly began. On the first day without Mikel, Cheng Chu missed his wife.
Cheng Chu sat blankly on the large bed, clutching his pillow. He had woken up later than usual and was still lost in thought. The room was quiet; he couldn't hear the soft murmur of running water from the bathroom as Mikel washed up, nor could he hear Mikel's deliberately slowed footsteps.
I wake up alone, eat breakfast, go out, go home, take a nap, go to class, and then it's evening, another day has passed.
Cheng Chu couldn't help but reflect. Before he transmigrated, he had always lived alone and hadn't felt anything was wrong.
How come Mikel finds life boring and uninteresting after only being away from home for less than two days?
Just as Cheng Chu was lamenting how boring his days were, what happened the next day made him anything but bored.
Just before lunch break, after chatting with Mikel, 0123 came up to Cheng Chu and told him that there were visitors at the door.
Given Cheng Chu's connections and influence here, it's easy to guess who the visitors would be.
"Another male insect protection association?" Cheng Chu slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, and casually said, "I won't see them. Tell them to go back unless it's something important."
He hasn't been fighting lately. The male insect protection association came to his door, and besides asking him to choose a female to marry, Cheng Chu couldn't think of anything else.
However, this time, Cheng Chu guessed wrong.
"Male Insect Lord, this visitor is not from the Male Insect Protection Association," 0123 said.
"Oh?" Cheng Chu was curious since it wasn't the Male Insect Protection Association. He turned to 0123 and asked, "If it's not the Male Insect Protection Association, then who is it?"
0123 replied: "The visiting female insect claimed to be the Queen of Tegels, Admiral Asvida of the X5 Legion."
"What is he here for?" Cheng Chu asked.
Are you here to see Mikel?
But Mikel isn't home either.
Cheng Chu subconsciously assumed that, since they were both female military officers, this general named Asvida could only be looking for Mikel.
After all, Cheng Chu had already compensated Tegels for the fight between him, and the matter was over.
However, Cheng Chu was wrong. Asvida had come to see him specifically while Mikel was not at home.
The thought of having to apologize to Mikel's lord on behalf of his own lord, especially in front of Mikel, made Asvida want to vomit.
After much anticipation, they heard that Mikel had gone to planet AF9 with the female members of the investigation team and hadn't been home for several days. Sure enough, Asvida arrived with his female companion the very next day.
Lissus learned by chance that the female father insisted on coming along so that the male father could apologize to a male insect.
Cheng Chu originally didn't want to see him and sent 0123 to send Asvida back.
But a little while later, 0123 came back and said that Asvida said that if Cheng Chu didn't see him, he would wait at the gate of the Jiuxingye villa complex.
Yes, Asvida could only wait at the gate of the villa complex; he couldn't go inside.
