Chapter 286 - Mark Of Birth (II)

During the time Tina is being trained by Manato, the usual breakfast gathering is currently happening in the palace of the Insect Kingdom.

If anyone is pretty familiar with the Insect Kingdom's royalties, they never eat together, and if they did, only on certain occasions. They never eat together for some unknown reason. However, after Princess Tina's "death", the family started to gather together and enjoy meals like how a normal family does. Their previous gloomy mood is no longer there and was instead replaced with laughter and a lighthearted atmosphere that anyone who is not familiar with them will think that they are a happy family.

But behind that happy family facade, lies the dark and ugly things they are trying to cover.

...

"Father, you should have done that decision a long time ago! If you have done that, we wouldn't have suffered seeing the face of that woman for quite a long time! Ugh! Just thinking about her face made me want to throw my utensils at her," the second eldest daughter and the one with the largest wings in their family, Alexandria said to her father who was busy eating.

"I agree with sister! She doesn't deserve to dine with us and yet she keeps her head high and acts as a close sibling of ours! What a b*tch!" Pierre, the youngest of the siblings and the one who holds the fastest flight speed due to his peculiar wings and light body.

"Now, now, kids. If you don't want to remember something that shouldn't be remembered, then better forget it! It's not worth talking about it, is there?" Glass, their mother smiled as she wipes the mouth of Pierre that is smeared with honey. Among them, she has the most unique wings as it looks like it is made of glass which made sense as to why her parents named her Glass. Although she is the biological mother of Tina, she didn't love Tina in the slightest. She is disgusted that she came from her.

"Did you two really think through about it or you guys are just idiots? Doing the plan requires lots of things and timing. You don't just execute the plan before it is decided. Once the two of you receive the royal responsibilities to rule the Insect Kingdom, then you guys will know how hard it is. This is not just a joke," their father, Goliath, is the insect person who has the biggest wings among them before Alexandria was born. However, the size is still quite big you can't say it is a small pair of wings. It isn't just his quality, it is what he was born with.

"Don't worry father. As soon as we inherit the title, we will rule the Insect Kingdom and make it prosper! It will allow us to get rid of many things we are hating the most and has the potential harm in our city!" Pierre said.

"Heh, big words, brother. However, I doubt you can even do what you are proclaiming. After all, problems are not easily resolved in one day. It needs resources, and plans to be successfully cleaned up."

"No worries, sister. Now that our b*tchy sister is gone, I can now be at ease and do whatever I needed to do. One thorn in the side is gone already."

"I can agree on that. Anyways, father. Will the announcement be a grand one? Will many people visit and look at us?" Alexandria asked her father. After all, she likes glamour and attention. She wanted the attention to be on her.

"Of course. It is a grand scale. I even heard from the harbor that the ships with people and aristocrats from other continents are also visiting to congratulate and give us gifts," Goliath answered as he pats her head.

"Hmph, those humans only know how to bootlick. Those f*ckers should have disappeared in this world. We, insect people, are capable of ruling this land alone. It is pretty much even mentioned in our history that we managed to rise as a kingdom without the help of humans so why do we need humans to develop?"

"As much as I want to do that, the humans are one of our suppliers to many things we use every day. If they disappear, no one will be able to procure it out from the other continent easily compared to these merchants. It is unwise unless you already have a plan to counter that," her mother explained.

"Heh, I already have a plan with that, I am already doing my job in the dark and no one knows about it except us."

"If that is the case, then we will see that performance soon. When can we expect to see the spectacle?" Pierre asked.

"Just be patient guys, I know you are all excited to be liberated from the hands of these humans but we need to take it slow. We can't allow them to alert everyone."

The conversation of the tyrants continues as the food started to get cold. No one knows but the sinister plan is currently being processed now. Goliath grinned as he looks at the Shield and Spear displayed on their estate. The sheer beauty of the spear and shield will even sway a young baby and get attracted to it.

A sinister smirk appeared on his face.

...

"Again!"

Tina is having a hard time finishing the course and she was continuously bombarded with arrows before she can even get a few steps forward.

Her goal is to move forward and get into the end without getting hit by the arrows. If she was ever hit by the arrows, she will have to restart the course back to the very beginning.

"Master, I suggest that she rest for a bit. As much as we wanted her to push herself to the limits, we can't keep her suffering a lot. It will impact our progress if she gets sick in the process. Not all people can take the spartan training that you introduced after all."

"Alright, Tina. You can stop and rest for a bit. We are here to let you learn, not to let you die, take plenty of rest before you go and continue the training. Besides, it's almost lunch, I will be cooking."

Tina lay flat on the ground while panting in the air, Lucia handed her a small bottle of Fresh Water that will reduce fatigue and thirst.

"Good work. You are progressing slowly but surely."

Tina grabbed the water bottle and started to chug down the contents of the bottle.

"I wonder what are my parents' reactions once they know I am still alive huh?"

"I haven't learned about your story, maybe you can tell us so that we will at least know your current circumstances? It is a bit hard but we have no idea why your parents will do an act of Prolicide1?"

"Ha...this will be a long story..."

"Please tell us," I joined their conversation. It sounded interesting and I also want to know a bit deeper knowledge about her too.

"Maybe I should start after I managed to learn how to read and write..."
