“You are telling me, just because these so-called renowned researchers never heard of silver milk water, they decided that it is a fantasy ingredient that I concocted for my fraud.
Your mother could have solved all this misunderstanding just by giving some silver milk water to them. Still, instead, she accepted their charges, put my patent under investigation, and suspended you from your position.
I can understand my patent being under investigation because I am an ant. But what about you? You are the Southern Emperor, commander of the Southern Watch. Can your mother do that to you? I thought you were the highest authority in the Southern region.” I was pissed that my patent was under investigation, but I could do nothing because, in this game of chess that these demigods were playing, I was just a pawn. They could sacrifice me or life to become the most powerful piece in chess.
“About that, …” guilty Anna scratched the back of her head, avoiding my gaze.
“Wyatt, you couldn’t be more wrong. The true ruler of the Southern region is my aunt Anna’s mother. Anna is just the representative of her will. Demigods are forbidden to interfere in mortal affairs. Therefore they chose a capable person to do their bidding, and for a year-end family, it is this dimwit. If Anna were given complete charge of the royal family, she would bring us all to the ground in days. Personally, I think Aunt show chose a new representative, preferably one who knows that a pixie dragon kills its mate after mating. God rest Chum-Chum’s soul. Chum-Chum, you were a diligent and loyal pixie dragon. Sorry, you had to pass away in such a stupid way like that. You are still missed.” Luna explained that Anna was not the actual ruler but just a representative of the true ruler and something about a pet pixie dragon named Chum-Chum. How is that related to the topic we are talking about? Is she planning to change the subject? But she genuinely seems to care about this Chum-Chum. Shit, I cannot help but feel that I am playing right in the palms of these two cousins.
“Chum-Chum wanted to mate. I just helped him, who knew that despite feeding him all those precious resources, he still could not overpower his female partner and escape.
And how dare you bring up Chum-Chum? I know you are jealous that the family decided to make me represent the Heatsend royal family at my birth. But bringing Chum-Chum into is just low even for you.” Anna was offended that Luna brought up her dead pet Chum-Chum.
“You stupid drunk slut, when a female pixie dragon reaches climax, the body fluids released by it will act as a paralyzing agent and render its male partner incapable of defending itself. No matter how strong Chum-Chum was, he was bound to die. Therefore I wanted it to undergo chemical castration. If you had just listened to me, Chum-Chum would still be alive.” Luna genuinely seemed to be agitated by their pet pixie dragon’s death.
“I will be magnanimous and overlook the name-calling for now. Luna, do not be unreasonable; Chum-Chum had reached that age. I could tell how lonely he was. A prude like you won’t understand.
And also, it was not your or my decision to make it was Chum-Chum’s choice. And trust me, that is what Chum-Chum wanted.
Wyatt, you are a man. What would you choose if you were in Chum-Chum’s place? Take your chances with your female partner or get chemically castrated as Luna suggested.” Anna asked for my opinion. According to her, be it a monster or human, men will be men.
“Hypothetical if I were in the same situation as Chum-Chum, I would take my chances with my female partner over chemical castration, Always!” I could not stress enough that I would rather die than get chemically castrated. I can understand why Chum-Chum did not care if his first bang could be his last bang as the alternative was very cruel.
“But you promised that you will give Chum-Chum to me once I reach Card Emperor realm.” Luna reminded me of those selfish dog owners back on earth who would chemically castrate their pet dogs. Man, imagine those dogs’ pain. Their years of loyalty are rewarded by chemical castration.
“I will buy you a new one, this time a female so that you do not have to go through the same ordeal all over once again.” Anna tried to console Luna by promising her that she would get her a new pixie dragon pet.
“No, I will not replace Chum-Chum. And also, female pixie dragons are murdering sluts. Our family already has you for that.” Mating doesn’t guarantee that the female pixie dragon gets pregnant; therefore, female pixie dragons keep finding new male partners after killing the last one until she gets pregnant.
“You do know that my generosity has its limit, right? Keep this up, and you know what is waiting for you down the line.” Anna controlled herself and warned Luna to behave.
“That was the last one, I promise.” Luna has recently discovered that in front of Wyatt, her arrogant cousin gets more tolerant and well-behaved. It was clear that she did not want to show him her crazy side and scare him away. And Luna was making full use of this Godsend opportunity to get her jabs in, but she knew there were limits to the new side of Anna, so she chose to stop for now.
“You cousins done? Now explain to me what your mother’s agenda is? To decide if I can trust her before taking extreme steps to protect what’s mine. Don’t get me wrong, Anna, I trust you, but the same cannot be said about your mother.” The only advantage of us ants is that there are a lot of us. And someone with my capabilities can be considered as the king of ants. So what if I cannot face you head-on? I will mobilize my soldier ants to make sure what’s mine stays mine.
