Announcent This is going to be a little interlude, featuring Alea.
- Alea -
Today was a rather good day.
It's certainly positive that this princess returned.
The weeks before were only filled with the frantic search for her so now I'm sure that things can finally calm down.
For , this ans that I won't have to lead any more insect-killer troops.
That was a stressful job, I can tell ya.
Aside from this, my current life is... complicated.
It was especially difficult when my wings broke out of my back.
It even had to happen right in front of Millie.
From when she touched there I learned that they're incredibly sensitive.
With this, the thought that I could rip them off to look even remotely normal again was directly dismissed.
The intensity of her touch was a clear warning sign not to trifle with that.
Since then, those little sprouts have been constantly growing and by now reach over the edges of my torso.
It was quite troubling when I had to forego hiding them below my clothes and instead cut holes for them.
My other issues, like this beak inside my mouth, or the flexible internal shell are at least not as present.
Millie is doing just as well.
She developed quite big bulbs on her sides which shift at tis.
It seems those are soon going to break out along with her wings.
She complains sotis about the discomfort that cos with them, but it doesn't seem to be too severe.
In general, she seems rather content in her current job as Honiu's attendant.
Though, she developed a kinda concerning obsession with insect eggs and larvae.
Yet she assured she's fine.
On my side, Honiu is keeping busy.
I have to constantly run through the palace, delivering ssages.
Not that I’d say it's a hard job.
I don't feel tired, no matter how much I run.
However, this servant outfit she makes wear is ridiculous.
In the beginning, I was constantly embarrassed about the way I looked when I had to go to real people and not just relay sothing to a drone.
But as I said, it could be worse.
I have a nice warm room, more than enough tasty food, and occasionally I get stuff if I ask for it in return for my work.
Not always though.
While Honiu doesn't seem to have a system, it appears she considers how much I deserve to get in certain intervals.
By the way, for so reason, Honiu insists on giving my assignnts personally.
Why that is so is beyond .
I'm more than aware that she has hundreds if not thousands of ssenger insects at her disposal.
Yet sohow she seems to have taken a liking to .
Can't figure out another explanation.
So it cos that I have once again to go to her new throne hall, as this is sothing like my default station, right next to her.
"There yuuu are, Alliie!" (O)
Oh, my brother.
I successfully got rid of him earlier with my more than decent walking speed, but it seems he knew that I would return here after completing my last job.
Is he aware that he's basically posing as a guard for Honiu like this?
In general, it seems like no matter what we do, we are sohow playing her ga.
Since his transformation, Owen has often been moving out with .
Honiu doesn't seem to think much of it.
In her mind, it seems to be sothing along the lines that a guardian protecting a ssenger is completely normal.
That's apparently what he is.
A guardian, or sothing similar.
Regarding changes, he might have got it better than .
In general, he grew quite a lot and got much bulkier.
Easily one head taller now and much wider in his fra.
It basically looks like he spent all his life training his muscles.
Aside from this and his slurring speech, there's barely anything to see.
His fingertips darkened quite a bit.
Maybe his nails got sharper.
Hah, he even said he hurt himself once by scratching his butt.
Seriously, did he really have to go so hard there that he got himself bloody at that spot?
Still, different from he only seems to have got the good stuff out of that change.
Even his theoretical role description sounds too good to be true.
I an, he only has to sit sowhere and it's considered fulfilling his role.
Owen honestly isn't doing much.
Well, he might be supposed to guard certain places, but as I said, Honiu is rather lax about this.
Owen still doesn't even attempt to cover his disdain for this princess.
So, according to this weird princess, it's already enough if he just sticks around.
His presence in itself is supposed to increase safety.
She really doesn't know my brother.
He might, at most, protect and the other children.
But maybe this is already enough if the need arises.
Anyway, once I enter the throne hall, Honiu's gaze instantly settles on .
She waits till I'm standing in front of her.

I'm nowadays rather often using the insect screeches.
It's more comfortable and Honiu does react more favorably to this.
Yet that doesn't an I'm neglecting training my human words.
I even got sowhat decent at it again.
I an, it would be stupid if I couldn't even speak properly.
While I may look that part, I don't also have to talk like a freak.
(H)
Duchess Carina!
I barely interacted with that woman, but that was already enough.
The way she stared at whenever she found standing next to Honiu still gives the creeps.

Oh hell, I will!
