    red fruit wine

    In the palace, Marshal Noah opened his eyes tiredly, and the adjutant guarding next to him immediately came over: “Marshal? How do you feel now?”

    Noah lowered his eyes, feeling the calmness of the spiritual sea, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: “Your Majesty has been here?”

    “Yes,” the adjutant did not dare to hide it, and obediently relayed the Insect Emperor’s words, “His Majesty said that we are not allowed to tell you that he has been here.”

    Noah responded softly, his eyebrows revealing extreme coldness and gentleness, and his white lips made him look extremely fragile.

    He touched the adjutant’s arm: “Go and ask your Majesty to come over.”

    The adjutant paused and said hesitantly: “Your Majesty, it may be… not convenient right now.”

    When His Majesty left just now, he was taken away by someone, and he saw the blood on the corners of His Majesty’s lips with sharp eyes.

    Noah’s eyes immediately turned worried, and he struggled to get out of bed: “I’m going to visit His Majesty.”

    “Marshal, it’s not appropriate now,” the adjutant held down Noah, “The head of the Lucas family hasn’t left yet.”

    Noah’s struggling movements froze, his expression was slightly startled, and then he showed a sad look: “Are they… just so impatient to force His Majesty to death?”

    “Your Majesty said that the feud that has been going on for so long cannot be defeated now,” the adjutant racked his brains to recall the Insect Emperor’s words, “and… yes! Your Majesty said he would come to see you tonight.”

    When Noah heard this, he really didn’t struggle anymore. He just asked someone to prepare some warm food, and then quietly leaned on the bedside and looked at the scenery outside the window.

    After a long while, he suddenly said: “I had a dream.”

    The adjutant responded casually: “What did the marshal dream about?”

    “I dreamed of… Your Highness,” Noah’s eyes flashed with loneliness and nostalgia, “It is said that if a little insect cub is named late, he will live a safe and healthy life. Who would have thought that my little insect cub did not live long enough for his male father to name him.”

    “Marshal,” the adjutant did not expect the marshal to suddenly mention His Highness. This is an almost absolutely forbidden topic in the palace. He asked tentatively: “Are you…are you okay?”

    Everyone knows that His Highness disappeared after a big quarrel with His Majesty. After that, the Marshal fell ill and went to the front line with injuries, and his spirit completely collapsed.

    The day the marshal came back from a serious injury, His Majesty cried all night, hating himself for making His Highness angry and making the Marshal too sad and hurting his body. The Marshal felt sorry for His Majesty and from then on no one was allowed to mention His Highness.

    Even His Majesty himself is not allowed to mention it.

    Since then, His Highness has become a necrotic egg and a taboo in the palace.

    But the marshal had been recovering in his room for a long time and it was not clear. People like them who were walking in the outside world knew very well that His Majesty remained silent in front of the marshal. In fact, he secretly sent people to look for His Highness many times, but unfortunately nothing was found.

    His Majesty even did not hesitate to… create a batch of male insects that were very similar to His Highness, but they were only slightly similar in appearance.

    Naturally, all those replicas were destroyed, and His Majesty became increasingly depressed.

    Despite this, His Majesty still actively cultivated the influence of His Highness, without saying anything, but in his heart he probably missed his only child more than anyone else.

    It’s a pity that no one except the Marshal can stand His Majesty’s mouth. If His Highness really comes back, there will inevitably be another uproar.

    Thinking of that scene, the adjutant’s eyes twitched, and he just hoped that His Highness would be able to calm down after being missing for so many years and not argue with His Majesty.

    “Hero?!” Ryan was lying on the small window of the repair cabin, his whole face close to the glass, looking at Felix eagerly.

    As soon as Felix opened his eyes, he saw the enlarged face of the little angel, and almost choked to death from the repair fluid. Fortunately, the defense mechanism of the special repair cabin was strong, otherwise he would have become the first insect ever to be choked to death in the repair cabin.

    The repair cabin had stopped functioning. Ryan took two steps back and the lid slowly slid open. Before Felix could sit up, he rushed forward and hugged Felix’s neck.

    “My lord,” the little angel choked out in a crying voice, “you scared me to death.”

    “It’s okay, it’s okay,” Felix was also surprised that he could actually get sick, or whether he got sick because he was in a bad mood. It was really embarrassing, “I’m fine.”

    Ryan sniffed, took a step back, put a bathrobe around Felix, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled through his tears as he looked at Felix who had regained his energy.

    “Great,” Ryan glanced at the door and muttered sheepishly, “If Sir Alec hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten that we still have a special repair cabin.”

    “It’s all because of him,” Felix snorted, knowing that Alec was guarding the door, he deliberately raised his voice, “If he hadn’t made me angry, how could I have gotten sick!”

    Alek, who was guarding the door: “…” Sometimes he really wanted to curse, but he was afraid that the real royal family on the other side could kill all nine of his clans.

    Felix put on his nightgown and suddenly reacted. He turned around and looked at the repair cabin behind him, tremblingly stroking it: “I… was I just soaked in the special repair fluid?”

    Ryan nodded: “Yeah, luckily it’s a special repair fluid, otherwise it would have been a while before you woke up.”

    “Then let me sleep a little longer,” Felix counted the few repair fluids, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn’t help himself. “Ryan, this is for you to treat the insect wings. Why should I use it for this small problem?”

    “How is that possible!” Ryan looked serious and did not agree at all. “It is a terrible thing for male insects to get sick and they will die.”

    He looked directly into Felix’s eyes and emphasized seriously: “Master, only if you are safe and healthy can I live in peace.”

    To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with these words. If the male worm dies, the female worm who cannot get spiritual comfort is likely to die from the mental sea riot.

    As for finding a new male, that is of course even more impossible!

    Felix was silent for two seconds: “Forget it, let’s go out to cook and eat.”

    He was hungry and didn’t want to continue talking about life and death.

    Ryan nodded, and the two walked out of Ryan’s bedroom. Four people were sitting on the sofa. Langdon held Adam’s hand and turned it over, as if Adam’s hand could turn stone into gold.

    Alek sat upright with a straight face, as if someone owed him eight million, while Bowa was fidgeting aside, obviously he was the one who owed eight million.

    Felix: “…”

    Although I am very dissatisfied, since they care about me so much, I still give them a good look.

    He first went to the kitchen to select the ingredients he would use in the evening, and then handed them over to Xiao Hai to handle. Then he walked back to his bedroom through the living room as if no one was watching.

    Just when he was passing by the sofa, he always felt that it was chilly. Felix turned around cautiously, only to find that the four of them were sitting still.

    Strange, Felix scratched his head, could it be an illusion?

    The bedroom door closed, and the four people on the sofa breathed a sigh of relief.

    I was so scared that I almost got discovered.

    Then Alec and Adam looked at each other, both expressing regret.

    Dinner was cooked by Xiaohai, the fully automatic housekeeping robot. Adam felt a little pity, cupping his chin as he watched Xiaohai serve the dishes on his head.

    “It’s a pity that Felix didn’t cook it himself,” Adam looked at Alec, shook his head and sighed, “Felix’s cooking is the most delicious.”

    “You come empty-handed and you expect me to cook for you myself,” Felix reached out and cupped the back of Adam’s head. “Even if I don’t cook for you, it’s considered a kindness on my part.”

    Adam didn’t dare to say anything, Alec glanced at Felix, rarely made the right choice, and worked hard with Boa.

    Xiaohai’s cooking skills were trained by Felix himself, and the taste was no worse than Felix’s own cooking. Adam just casually said that he was happier than anyone else when eating.

    Halfway through the meal, Adam suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room. Before anyone could react, he walked in dragging a box of drinks and dragging a large piece of cake behind the drink box.

    Langdon stood up quickly, put the cake on the shelf nearby, moved the drinks and divided a bottle between each of them, and placed the rest next to Felix, trying to gag him.

    But who is Felix? He is a man who has made himself friendless with just one mouth. He glanced at Alec and began to sneer in a skillful way: “Your Excellency Alec is really diligent and frugal.”

    Alek: “…I came here in a hurry this time. I will definitely not be empty-handed next time.”

    Bowa was a little unhappy when he saw that he was attacking his hero again, but he knew that he couldn’t defeat Felix, so he defended in a low voice: “The hero also cares about you. He came in a hurry and forgot to bring a gift. It’s not rude.”

    Felix glanced at him and didn’t want to say anything. He thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Ryan, who seemed quiet and docile, spoke up.

    “But Mr. Alek didn’t bring any gifts when he came to visit us for the first time.”

    Alec didn’t expect that the couple had remembered this for so long, and they finally realized with hindsight that Felix’s glance at his hand was not his imagination.

    Fortunately, Felix was in a good mood now, so he might as well not take Alec with him anymore, which made everyone present feel relieved.

    Adam’s drinks are also good. When they heard that he brewed the “red fruit drink” by himself, Alec and Felix showed a rare united front and looked at each other with hesitation.

    “What?” Adam poured himself a glass excitedly and drank it all in one gulp, “It’s delicious!”

    The scarlet drink was pushed in front of him.Alec gritted his teeth and took a sip. His eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded to Felix: “It tastes good.”

    Felix was even more hesitant. According to his limited knowledge of self-brewing, this kind of wine is not drunk but has great stamina. He took a small sip, relying on the fact that he had just recovered from his illness and refused to get bored with it.

    Alec and Adam expressed regret, and Felix was even more convinced that he could not drink more of this “drink”.

    The Zerg’s red fruit wine is a very common home-brew. This kind of wine is one of the few “beverages” that can eliminate all impurities without being processed by male insects.

    Not only the folk females like to drink it, but also the border army females like it even more. Unfortunately, you cannot drink too much, otherwise you will fall asleep and not wake up for three days and three nights during class.

    However, because red fruit wine is easy to make and does not require male labor, this kind of wine is rarely seen in aristocratic circles, and even rarer in the palace.

    Therefore, no one knew that there was a barrel full of red fruit wine hidden under the marshal’s bed.

    Late at night, the Insect King came out from behind the bookshelf, smelled the fruity aroma in the air, and laughed: “After all these years, you still like red fruit wine.”

    Noah turned back, stood up, helped Simon sit down, poured half a glass of wine and placed it in front of him.

    There was some wine on the corners of Simon’s lips, and his face became rosier: “Are you in a good mood today?”

    Noah nodded, with a tiny light shining in his eyes, which made Simon feel for a moment that nothing happened, his little boy still choked with him from time to time, and Noah was still a healthy, strong, gentle marshal.

    What a pity…

    “I dreamed about Your Highness today,” Noah spoke very quickly, unable to suppress his excitement, “I…I seem to feel his spiritual power.”

    Simon shuddered and put the wine glass to his lips with trembling hands, but after trying for a long time, he could only taste a faint salty taste.

    Noah put down the wine glass, held the male insect’s face, and gently wiped away the tears: “Master, our little highness is back.”

    “You named him Felix, right?”

    That was the name that His Majesty gave his favorite little Xiongzi after he thought about it day and night in his study after the disappearance of His Majesty.

    His Highness was ten years old that year, and he was the latest Zerg cub to be named.

    It’s a pity that “Felix”, who represents peace and happiness, failed to bless the little insect cub. After so many years, they still couldn’t find Felix.

    At this time, Felix was grim-faced as he and Alec carried Adam and stuffed him into the aircraft.

    Langdon quickly ran out of the driver’s seat and greeted Felix and Alec in a hurry, but his eyes were always fixed on Felix.

    “Your Excellency Adam was drunk in the academy. Let him go home and think about his mistakes… for a month.” Alec wiped off his forehead, put his hands on his hips and sighed, “This guy really needs to lose weight.”

    Felix would not miss any opportunity to ridicule him. When he saw this, he said: “Are you so weak? How much exercise makes you breath like this?”

    Alek: “…” Why does a good insect need a mouth?

    He was speechless for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: “No wonder Your Majesty Felix is more valued than me. It would be a waste not to do some work with such good physical strength.”

    There was a strange smell, and Felix keenly smelled an unusual smell.
