Chapter 251 - Lies And Betrayal (1/2)
I have seen her naked body many times in the past. However, she only does this to those who she trusts the most and has satisfied her requirements. Seeing her do this is a sign that I already accomplished that. Too bad not everyone will be able to see her like this.
Also, even though she is naked like this, I already got immunes to it seeing her like this numerous times so I did not easily get embarrassed.
”You should at least wear a shirt or something to cover your body while we are meeting. It's not really appropriate,” I said to her.
”Aing from you. You seemed to be immune to this view already and I felt a bit conflicted whether you are not affected by my charms or I am just not pretty enough.”
”No, Queen Tanya. You are pretty and sexy but I don't need to show emotion to appreciate your body. And don't worry, if I didn't have the ability to control myself, the blood on my nose will surely fall out.”
Queen Tanya chuckled.
”Haha, oh well, if you say so, then I am glad you think so that way. Anyways, you should also let the other one who is with you to come in too. We are both girls so why is she embarrassed?”
I looked at Tina and beckoned her to come inside and although she is reluctant to come inside, she has no choice but to do so to meet and talk with Queen Tanya.
”Oh? I just met a few people who are also the same species as you last time. I didn't expect to see someone so soon once again,” Queen Tanya said. From the looks of it, she is already expecting her arrival as I don't see a shock on her face seeing her.
”So it was true that there are people with the same species as me who arrived here a few days ago.”
”Yes. They are calling themselves the guards of the princess of the Insect Kingdom. But I was surprised since the so-called princess was ”killed in action” and will not be able to attend the meeting.”
When Tina heard it, she was stunned and seems to have gone speechless. I am also confused about it. From what I know in the past timeline, it is indeed true that the Princess of the Insect Kingdom while visiting Sandurk but there are no specific words on how the princess died. All I know is that after the death of the princess, it caused a lot of disturbance in the kingdom that there occurred a political war between the remaining siblings who will inherit the kingdom since the princess who has died from the incident in Sandurk was supposed to be the one who will inherit the throne. Although I am a little bit confused, I think I managed to get the gist of it. I just needed to have a confirmation about the reality of the situation directly from Queen Tanya and I continue to listen.
”That's... it's impossible for them to do that! They haven't confirmed it! They should still be looking!” Tina said with a desperate tone in her voice.
”Based on your reaction, I can easily deduce that you are the ”Princess” that should have ”died” during the journey to reach my kingdom right?”
Tina was silent at first but she didn't remain silent and confirmed it. ”Yes, I am the 103rd princess of the Insect Kingdom, Tina Lesches Ropalocera. Although I am not mature enough to rule the kingdom and I am not as beautiful as my siblings who have more beautiful wings than mine, I am a Princess from ancestry and blood of the royalties.”
She spreads out her wings and I saw that her wings resemble that of a moth. No wonder she has brown hair, which is rather rare in the Insect Kingdom, she is viewed as the ugly princess due to her color not being vibrant enough. Not only that but the size of her wings is pretty small compared to her siblings that I have seen in the past. They are very big and vibrant and her color pales in comparison.
”Well, I already knew that your guards are lying that you have died on the spot. I asked them what caused your death and they immediately told me you got eaten by a giant sandworm.”
Queen Tanya then turned to look at me. ”So, did Princess Tina come out from the stomach of a sandworm?”
”Yes, I found her inside the Giant Devouring Sandorm's stomach that we killed with my companions.”
