57: Chapter 57 The Tragic Female Insect's Nobleman 19

“Not until I saw that Empire statement. Bo Yisi, I also felt pain, shedding tears unconsciously, hurting to the point of nearly collapsing.

I was a victim too, fallen into an endless quagmire because of you. Why were you so stingy, refusing to leave me even a sliver of hope? At that moment, I felt like an utter failure.

But Mervyn is too warm; he always looks at me with eyes brimming with tears, making my heart soften. I could only patch up my shattered self to endure a little longer.”

“I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. I'm sorry, Your Highness, I should have rushed to your side immediately. I'm sorry, Your Highness, and I especially shouldn't have done those things...”

Bo Yisi apologized and admitted his mistakes incoherently, his face full of pain, his heart consumed by extreme guilt, and his eyes filled with endless regret.

Lu Zhan even rarely revealed a gentle smile in response. He shook his head slightly and continued.

“Until then, I didn't blame you, Bo Yisi.”

“When you came to find me, I was very confused, and afraid you were there to see my pathetic state and mock me. At that time, if conditions had allowed, I would have wanted nothing more than to hide immediately.

But the small house was too shabby; I could only try my best to feign composure and maintain that tiny bit of dignity, as if by doing so I could deceive myself into looking the same as I once was.

But you shattered that dignity so easily. I was very uneasy and terrified. In that hovercar, I experienced a complete nightmare that devoured everything I had left.”

Bo Yisi knew clearly what he had done there. He had thoroughly harmed his Your Highness, and at the time, he had even been extremely delighted by it. His lips trembled, but he remained silent; Bo Yisi didn't know what to say.

At this moment, all words were too feeble. The damage had already been done, and that horrific wound would remain there forever, unable to heal.

“Bo Yisi, we can never go back.”

Not everything can be started over, nor can every injury be dismissed with a smile.

Bo Yisi stood there in a daze. The Zerg Egg that was a treasure to him originated from his Your Highness's most painful nightmare; no wonder the soft-hearted and kind Your Highness could not accept it.

Everything was his fault. It was his mistake; he was despicable, selfish, dark, pathological, cruel, and indifferent.

It was right for Your Highness to not want him, but without Your Highness, how was he to live on in the future?

“Bo Yisi.”

Lu Zhan called his name softly, using the coldest and most distant tone of his life.

The Military Zerg hurriedly looked at the Male Zerg, appearing exceptionally submissive.

Lu Zhan shook his head very slowly, exhaustion and weariness spilling out from those silver eyes.

His voice was low and slow, like deep water flowing silently, yet every word felt incredibly heavy.

“If possible, I never want to see you again for the rest of my life.”

In that instant, Bo Yisi had never felt so clearly that he had completely and utterly lost his lord, his Your Highness.

The Military Zerg's entire body was filled with self-loathing and sorrow. His eyes had long been drowned in regret and pain.

He could not make up for such tragic harm, but without Your Highness, living was worse than death!

“Your Highness, if I die, will you be a little happier?!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan only chuckled softly and gently, then said,

“Bo Yisi, I have already been ruined by you and cannot be fixed, but as you said, the unborn hatchling is innocent.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked the area where the Zerg Egg was located, his silver eyes turning exceptionally soft.

“Go get Mervyn, I have something to say to him.”

Bo Yisi suddenly felt a flicker of hope because of this. Did Your Highness like this Zerg Egg?

He was reluctant to leave Your Highness's sudden gentleness, so he used his light brain to order his subordinates to bring Mervyn over.

“Your Highness, do you like this unborn hatchling?”

He asked cautiously, with a hint of testing.

“It is innocent. It is my first hatchling and will be my last, though I am destined not to be a good father.”

Hearing this, Bo Yisi couldn't help but feel a bit of expectation in his heart.

“Your Highness, you will surely be the best father.”

Lu Zhan only looked at the Military Zerg calmly, his eyes unreadable.

“It will be the continuation of my life.”

Bo Yisi felt these words were a bit strange, but he didn't dare ask more.

After a short while, Mervyn was brought in. Knowing that Your Highness wanted to see him, Mervyn was exceptionally happy, his face filled with joy as he entered.

Lu Zhan looked at Mervyn, his silver eyes carrying tenderness, and his cold face softened a few degrees.

“Bo Yisi, you go out first. I want to talk to Mervyn alone.”

Bo Yisi no longer dared to have any objections and went out obediently and submissively.

“Your Highness, are you okay? I heard from Bo Yisi that you will have a little hatchling soon. I am happy for you.”

Mervyn's eyes were moist, shedding tears of happiness.

“Yes, my little hatchling.”

Lu Zhan smiled very gently and even beckoned Mervyn to come closer.

Mervyn walked over and knelt beside the Male Zerg, as submissive as ever.

For the first time, Lu Zhan raised his hand to gently stroke Mervyn's cheek. He was a bit feisty and a bit of a crybaby, but very cute.

Mervyn's body and mind were instantly filled with comfort and joy. This was an intimate gesture Your Highness had never made before; he was extremely nervous yet felt satisfied and excited, and his heart rate suddenly accelerated!

“Mervyn, thank you for always carefully guarding my shattered self, but I can't hold on anymore. Forgive my selfishness and cowardice; I have failed to live up to your care.”

Mervyn suddenly understood something, and the emotions from just now vanished instantly.

“Your Highness, did Bo Yisi do something to you?”

Lu Zhan just shook his head, and Mervyn fell silent, his reddened eyes overflowing with heartache.

“Mervyn, I can never bring myself to provide the energy for my unborn hatchling. Just thinking about it, my body and mind are filled with a repulsion and loathing that I find unbearable. But I still want it to arrive safely, using everything I have to welcome its birth. It will be the continuation of my life.”

Mervyn looked at the Male Zerg in instant shock, shaking his head continuously as tears fell one by one.

“Your Highness, you can't.”

Lu Zhan just looked at him softly, raising his hand to wipe away the tear stains on Mervyn's face.

“Mervyn, don't stop me. Handle my posthumous affairs for me, and keep a good eye on Bo Yisi for me, to see if he treats my little hatchling well.”

After saying that, he lifted Mervyn's face and leaned down to place an incredibly innocent kiss.

He said, “Mervyn, thank you for your love! You have always made me feel very warm.”

At this moment, Mervyn was undoubtedly happy and satisfied; he held a certain status and uniqueness in Your Highness's heart.

But thinking about what Your Highness said and what he was asked to do, he was so sad and full of self-reproach. He had failed to protect Your Highness well, but no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he could not refuse any request from Your Highness.

“Mervyn understands. Rest assured, Your Highness, I will take care of everything.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhan's eyes were full of gentle smiles. He lightly stroked the back of the other's neck and gave a soft hum of acknowledgment.

“Mervyn, let Bo Yisi in.”

Mervyn composed his emotions and walked out, though the sadness in his eyes was still hard to dissipate.

Bo Yisi quietly walked to the Male Zerg's side, knelt down submissively, and called out softly.

“Your Highness.”

Lu Zhan looked at the Military Zerg in front of him for a long time before saying,

“Bo Yisi, you must take good care of our hatchling.”

The words fell on his ears, causing Bo Yisi to instantly break into a smile of joy and tears. He understood the meaning; Your Highness had accepted this Zerg Egg and allowed him to give birth to his child.

“I will, Your Highness, I definitely will. Thank you!”

Bo Yisi made a solemn promise, like taking an oath.

“Bo Yisi, remember what you said. Live well.”

Lu Zhan's silver eyes took on a tinge of incredibly eerie malice.

At the same time, the usual cheerful voice of 009 finally came from Lu Zhan's mind.

“host, the Male Protagonist's blackening value has been cleared. The mission is a success. Do you want to leave the Small World now?”

“Depart.” The words were indifferent, with no emotional fluctuation. Lu Zhan had no desire to stay in this world at all.

Moreover, for Nash Carlisle, this was the best ending. His heart was never that broad-minded.
