Chapter 116 Mikel's Past
"Why is he too ashamed to see me?" Cheng Chu tried to calm herself down, constantly telling herself that she couldn't fall for their trick.
Laureen and Kasiri exchanged a glance. Kasiri shut his mouth and nudged Laureen in the lower back with his elbow.
Laureen was still shaken and secretly winked at Caesar, refusing to say anything more.
Why is it always him who gets hurt?
Impatient with their passing the buck, Cheng Chu pointed at Laureen, who was still winking and making faces, and shouted, "You tell us!"
Laureen trembled at the shout and said timidly, "Mikel hid his affair from you because he was afraid you would hate him if you found out, so he didn't dare to come to see you."
What Caesar admired most about Laureen was her ability to lie so skillfully that no one who didn't know the truth could tell.
Cheng Chu lowered his head and murmured, "His mother-in-law's affair?"
Mikel had never told him about his family; he had never mentioned his father, father, brothers, or any of his siblings.
He looked up at the female insects by the door and asked, "What about Mikel's father?"
Next, Laureen recounted the bloody past of Mikel that Cheng Chu was unaware of.
"When Mikel was nine years old, his female father suddenly went mad one rainy night and killed Mikel's male father. He even dismembered his male father's body into seventy-five pieces in front of Mikel..."
That night, it rained heavily all night long. Nine-year-old Mikel was given the lightest dose of anesthesia, which rendered him immobile but kept him conscious.
Young Mikel lay motionless on the floor in the corner of the room, yet he clearly and vividly watched as his female father went mad and killed his male father in an extremely cruel manner.
Mikel, his madwoman father, and his seventy-five pieces of his father's body spent the entire night in the same room.
A Grade A male insect was killed in such a cruel way by his own female ruler. This incident caused a sensation throughout the entire empire.
The majority of the voices circulating on the StarNet are calling for the death penalty for Grimias.
Before his execution, Mikel's father, Grimias, was diagnosed with severe mental illness by the Imperial Hospital's medical staff and was found to be a madman.
Grimias, a general who had made great contributions to the empire and risked his life countless times, was sentenced to death as a madman.
There are even rumors that Grimias' mental illness is hereditary, and that Mikel, as his female offspring, must also carry the gene for this mental illness.
Rumors are often believed to be true rather than false. The longer time passes, the more convinced one becomes of them.
Male insects value their lives, and no one would risk their life to see if Mikel has inherited the disease.
This explains why, no matter how many military achievements Mikel accumulated or how much wealth he possessed, even with his mental state severely damaged, he couldn't find a single high-ranking male insect willing to register a marriage with him.
"Mikel took advantage of your head injury and forgetfulness to conceal your mental strength level. He knew that if your mental strength level had been S-level from the beginning, he would never have become your queen."
"Once you learn about his and his female father's terrible mental illness genes, you will definitely stay away from him too." Laureen said half-jokingly, as if afraid that the male insect would be angry because of Mikel's deception and that she would be affected by his anger, her body showing a subtle tendency to retreat at any moment.
Quite some time passed, but the scene of the male insect's anger that I had imagined did not occur. The S-class male insect stood there alone with its head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Cheng Chu clenched his fists, his eyes slightly reddened, and his spiritual energy flowed restlessly throughout his body.
The female insects present all faintly felt the pressure from the S-level male insects' mental power. They were all silent and dared not breathe too hard.
Seeing that Cheng Chu remained silent for a long time, Kasili tentatively spoke up, "Your Excellency Cheng Chu, you..."
"Mikel, where is he?" Cheng Chu interrupted him, looking directly into his eyes, her dark eyes filled with an indescribable, complex emotion. Cheng Chu spoke with difficulty, "I want to see him. Tell him to come back!"
His voice trembled, with a hint of a sob leaking out.
Cheng Chu didn't know if what they said was true or false, and he wanted Mikel to tell him himself.
It doesn't matter if he has a mental illness or not, it doesn't matter if we keep his mental strength level a secret, as long as he comes back, we'll face it together.
"It's impossible to meet. If we met, wouldn't the truth be out?" Laureen thought to herself.
His eyes darted around, and he smiled, "Lord Chengchu, Mikel won't be coming back. We also brought some information on female insects that are superior to him today. Please take a look and see which one you prefer..."
Laurie took out the information on the female insects matched by the marriage registration center that she had brought, intending to persuade him to take a look, but little did she know that her first words would only add fuel to the fire.
"Shut up!"
Cheng Chu felt a tightness in his chest, a sore throat, and his voice was choked with suppressed sobs. "I want Mikel."
"Lord Chengchu, don't be sad. These are all female insects that are even better than Mikel. Take a look, I guarantee you'll find one you like." Laureen continued to chatter, holding up a stack of documents in front of Chengchu, trying to get him to look at them.
"Get out of my way!" Cheng Chu didn't even look at it, and swept the documents in front of him away. The paper matching documents were scattered all over the floor, and Laureen was pushed and staggered again.
Realizing they wouldn't let him see Mikel, Cheng Chu disregarded everything and ran outside.
"Lord Chengchu!"
"Lord Chengchu!"
He heard voices calling his name from behind, but Cheng Chu ignored them and just kept running forward.
He wanted to go find Mikel himself; he wanted to hear Mikel say it to him personally.
Mikel likes him and will not agree to divorce him.
Mikel must have been forced into this situation by them. Did they lay a hand on him?
They also have an unborn baby.
They will not get a divorce.
He blindly charged for quite a distance, and seeing that the group of female insects behind him was about to catch up, Cheng Chu deliberately made several turns, finally hiding behind a parked aircraft by the roadside to avoid them.
"Lord Chengchu?"
Just as Cheng Chu saw them chasing after them and before she could even catch her breath, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
Cheng Chu's heart leaped into his throat. He slowly turned around and saw a female insect with a half-bun hairstyle and green eyes emerge from the corner.
"Lord Chengchu, I am Arungus. Do you remember me?" Arungus asked excitedly. He hadn't expected to be so lucky. He had just sneaked in as a repairman and immediately met Lord Chengchu.
Seeing the male insect staring at him with red eyes without saying a word, Arungus awkwardly raised his hand to smooth a stray hair behind his ear and said, "I visited your house with the professor before, do you remember?"
Hearing him say that, Cheng Chu finally remembered: "It's you."
"Lord Chengchu, what's wrong?" Arungus gestured towards the direction where the male insect protection association's working insects had disappeared. He asked, "Are you in some kind of trouble? Do you need my help?"
