In the year 3578 of the Star Calendar, an Imperial general betrayed the empire on the eve of war. Lance was dragged to the execution platform. His wings were cut off, his eyes gouged out, and a collar clamped around his neck!
The collar suppressed his mental power, and his political rival, whom he regarded as an enemy, had him auctioned off for a record-low price.
One starcoin. Some clueless unlucky fool bought Lance.
The bugs were stunned. [Seriously? What are you going to do with a half-dead useless wreck like that?]
Treat him like royalty and keep him pampered?
Ai Mi was a siren who was always keeping fish in his pond.
After his home planet was devastated, he was exposed to pollution.
Forced to flee to the insectoid empire, he also had trouble walking and rarely went out.
So he could only make a living online, doing part-time work to provide mental therapy for the bugs.
Buying Lance was an accident. So when someone delivered the general right to his door...
Ai Mi: Could I... not take him?
Who could have guessed that the moment he said it, a barrage of comments would appear?
Ai Mi suddenly saw lines of text appear on the screen in the air: Don't say that, baby! The general was framed!
[You might not know this, but the guy you bought is the famous God of Death of your empire!]
[Baby, baby, maybe what you need is someone to put your fish in?]
The general's innate companion ability was to purify the ocean.
Ovo!
The king turned around: Dear female bug, do you know what a female should do?
Lance: Obey?
Ai Mi: Build a huge harem!
There are countless male fish in the world. If this one doesn't work out, the king can pick another.
But the new queen was clearly dissatisfied with the king!
Lance had always believed that all male bugs were alike. He secretly plotted to take them all down with him!
Until Ai Mi earnestly treated his disabilities.
Burn injuries, damaged eyes, his mental sea. He even let Lance get in touch with the outside world.
Ai Mi thought the female bug's gaze was getting stranger and stranger. Is it time to get to work...?
Lance: I want to mark you.
The king never shortchanged his loyal subjects. He gave his consort pearls, sea territory, and a school of male fish as attendants. He even announced in the comment barrage that when foreign invaders attacked the empire, he would have Lance lead the troops and amaze all the bugs.
Sure enough, the bugfolk who thought the general had died were all dumbfounded when they saw Lance again.
"What?"
"His eyes, his legs, his mental power?!!"
"General Lance is alive?"
"Wasn't he bought by a disabled person? Wasn't he supposed to be a useless bug, with his body getting more exhausted and his mind growing more twisted?"
"But he married a siren! The royal family couldn't even find a mental therapist. Seriously, who decided a fish had to have legs?!"
Ai Mi heard them.
Ai Mi was pleased.
But when he turned around again, he realized his queen was stunned.
Lance: So my male master was lying to me?
0v0?
There are bugs in here, but no one will be marked!!!
