Chapter 25: A Soldier’s Wrath
---
"Kai... Kai... Kai...
A mere worker ant, a weak and pathetic loser, an insignificant newcomer, had not only disobeyed my command but had also drawn the interest of Princess Mia. It is unacceptable."
Darius had spent years proving his worth, rising through the ranks, fighting, bleeding, and conquering enemies for the Ant Kingdom. His one and only wish was to make Mia his girlfriend or wife—or at least bed her once. Yet, in one day, a low-level ant who hadn’t even transformed had managed to take the spotlight from him and also humiliate him.
Mia’s words echoed in his head again and again: "He managed to impress me twice within a single day. Something you haven’t done in years, Captain Darius!"
Darius’s mandibles ground together in rage. He could not allow this. Kai had to be removed. He had worked so hard to get into his position.
Captain Darius was only a few steps away from his goal—a secret task given to him by someone very important. He only needed to get into Princess Mia’s close circle to get some information. If he completed his task, that person would remove Princess Mia from the Ant Kingdom and let Darius have fun with her.
Captain Darius thought, "I am only a three-star rank ant. I will never be able to make Princess Mia my woman. But if I complete my task..." He laughed with a perverted face, "Hak! Hak! Hak! She will warm my bed every day. I can’t let anyone else get close to her. I must remove this lowly and pathetic ant, Kai."
But he couldn’t be killed directly; Mia had already taken an interest in him. If Darius attacked openly, it would only make her more curious.
