Chapter 82: Didn’t He Feed You Enough

At this moment, Lisa’s voice suddenly rang out, "Duke, it’s dining time. Would you prefer to have nutritional fluid in your room, or here?"

Indeed, for this journey, Carlotta had brought Lisa along.

She was afraid that if she wasn’t on Nore, Lisa, who had become a servant at the Duke’s mansion, might harm the cubs there.

Knowing that bringing Lisa could pose a risk to everyone on board the starship, Carlotta specially asked Richard before leaving how to restrict Lisa’s communication with the outside world.

Richard suggested, using the pretext of fearing leaks from the servants, to have Robert from the Research Institute install a privacy program developed by the Nore Empire into the smart bracelets of all the servants and soldiers accompanying them on this trip.

During this period, none of the soldiers or servants could contact anyone.

"I’ll eat here," Carlotta was in the midst of excitedly admiring the view outside and didn’t want to leave just yet.

Hardly seated at the table, Carlotta couldn’t help but ask, "Has Prince Richard finished dealing with those documents yet?"

The males accompanying her to Deep Blue Star this time were Richard and Abyss.

Henry said that their uncle, the emperor, was aging and wouldn’t have much time left to spend with her, so he was willing to give up this opportunity.

As for Blaze, he claimed to be worried that no one else could prepare the infant formula that the cubs loved after he left.

Carlotta had initially thought it would be good to have Richard accompany her, but once on board the starship, Richard had been busy in his room and hadn’t come out at all.

"Duke, I haven’t asked Prince Richard yet. I’ll go ask now," Lisa bowed to Carlotta before quickly leaving.

After Lisa left, Abyss sat down in front of Carlotta and casually picked up a tube of nutritional fluid to drink.

The awkwardness caused by Carlotta’s earlier question had dissipated due to Lisa’s interruption.

Abyss’ face regained its haughty and noble demeanor.

However, this demeanor couldn’t last long, as it was ruined by his frequent glances at Carlotta out of the corner of his eye.

Carlotta wasn’t unaware of Abyss’ subtle gazes falling on her face.

She knew Abyss was looking at her with some strange expressions out of the corner of his eye.

And whenever she looked back, Abyss would avoid her gaze as if extremely afraid of her.

Carlotta complained silently in her heart: Who would have guessed that the Abyss in front of her was the same person as the Abyss she first encountered?

Even before chatting with Richard and Henry about Abyss, she had once argued fiercely with him.

What had Abyss said at that time? Something about getting a physical examination and then having her remove the mark.

Hmm, it seemed she had indeed never paid attention to the physical condition of the males after she had helped them channel their emotions.

Abyss, Blaze, and Richard all belonged to the type whose spiritual seas were damaged and then restored to normal after she helped them channel their emotions.

Because the three males seemed perfectly fine during their daily interactions, especially Richard and Blaze, who sometimes had plenty of energy, she had never considered that there could still be issues with their bodies.

"Did you get a physical examination?" Carlotta couldn’t help but ask, "Should the effects from your earlier spiritual collapse have disappeared by now?"

Carlotta’s question made Abyss’ face instantly sour.

At the banquet, Carlotta had been willing to coo at him, smile at him, and even kick him with her foot, leading him to believe Richard’s words – that Carlotta wanted to see how he would behave.

But now, Carlotta was actually asking about his physical condition.

How could she want to see how he would behave when she was still thinking about confirming if his body could endure the pain of the power level drop when the mark was removed, and then removing it?

Carlotta... still hated him.

Abyss’ heart sank, lowering his gaze to hide his eyes behind his thick lashes and saying in a hoarse voice, "I did. Everything is normal."

He didn’t want to ask anything else and directly sent the examination report to Carlotta.

Carlotta opened it, and the first thing that caught her eye was the summary text.

She couldn’t understand those complex technical terms and shifted her gaze to the tables above.

The tables contained Abyss’ physical data such as vision, height, bust-waist-hip measurements, and weight. As she continued reading, Carlotta hastily closed the report.

But her mind automatically read out that paragraph: "The length of two penises: 19.1/19.3cm..."

...

These words seemed to carry warmth, causing Carlotta’s face to turn as red as a burning cloud.

She hastily stood up, pretending to look at the view outside again.

Seeing Carlotta suddenly become restless, Abyss guessed that she might also be hesitating and didn’t want to remove his mark.

His violet eyes quietly followed Carlotta, staring at her back, as he stiffly sat in his chair, waiting for Carlotta to turn around and deliver his sentence.

Carlotta was indeed torn.

She... realized that she was becoming increasingly impure.

That set of data made her couldn’t help but wonder how long 19cm was.

Even more, her mind would compare it to a few others she had seen.

...

Not wanting to continue like this, Carlotta patted her face with her hand, trying to steer her thoughts in a proper direction.

But after patting, she inadvertently saw her arm and thought of data like diameter.

She was beyond saving, completely beyond saving.

Carlotta hit her head against the starship’s wall.

Seeing Carlotta hit herself and then the wall, Abyss couldn’t help but have his eyes turn red at the corners.

Carlotta was actually harming herself, was it to make it easier for her to make a decision?

Thinking of this, Abyss felt as if his heart had a rift, being stirred by a sharp object and aching.

Abyss chuckled sarcastically and spoke coldly, "Duke, you don’t have to be so torn. Just give me a quick and painless end, and remove the mark directly."

Abyss’ words made Carlotta stop hitting the wall.

She turned around, with confusion written all over her sapphire cat-like eyes, "Remove what?"

Abyss raised his chin slightly and pointed at the kitten imprint on his forehead with his slender index finger, "Remove the mark, Duke. Didn’t you see my physical report?"

"I’m perfectly healthy."

"Even if you remove it, I will still fulfill my duty to protect you and won’t make the same mistakes again."

Pausing for a moment, Abyss lowered his gaze again to hide the moisture in his eyes, "Hurry up."

Carlotta suddenly understood what Abyss meant.

A deep helplessness flashed in her eyes, "No, I mainly wanted to see how you were doing physically by looking at your report. I was genuinely concerned about you, not to remove the mark."

Upon hearing this, Abyss suddenly lifted his gaze, and his dull violet eyes brightened up, "You... genuinely concerned about me?"

Carlotta nodded, "Yeah, just genuinely concerned."

Abyss suddenly furrowed his brows.

Seeing Abyss’ expression change so quickly, Carlotta also frowned, wondering what tantrum Abyss wanted to throw next.

But instead, the handsome dark-haired orc took long strides towards her, reaching out halfway before suddenly pulling back.

"You were just concerned about me, so why did you hit yourself? idi..." Here, Abyss paused and suddenly changed his words, "Did you just want to hit something?"

Carlotta swore that Abyss had definitely wanted to say "idiot" earlier.

It was really strange for such a sarcastic person to change his words before speaking them.

Carlotta glanced down at the area below Abyss’ military uniform belt and noticed it was indeed bulging, quickly averting her gaze and saying, "Yeah, just consider it as me wanting to hit something purely."

Abyss turned his head, his handsome face full of confusion.

He noticed that Carlotta had glanced down earlier and followed her gaze to look at himself but didn’t see anything unusual.

He wanted to ask but was afraid that Carlotta really didn’t want to say, and asking too much might make the conversation unpleasant, so he changed the topic.

"I have some ointment," Abyss took out a jar of blood-circulating and stasis-resolving ointment from his spatial knot and handed it to Carlotta.

Carlotta was relieved that Abyss hadn’t dwelled on the earlier topic, took the ointment, and said thank you.

Then she activated the mirror mode on her smart bracelet and applied the ointment to her red forehead.

Just as she finished applying it, Lisa returned, saying that Richard still had work to finish.

Finding the scenery a bit boring, Carlotta decided to go help Richard with his work. She told Lisa to go about her own business and told Abyss the same, then headed towards Richard’s room.

After exchanging polite smiles and nods with other waiters and soldiers encountered on the way, Carlotta finally arrived at Richard’s room.

She pressed the visitor bell.

Richard’s voice came through: "Carlotta."

The black door slid open on one side.

Richard, wearing a monocle, was indeed tapping on a virtual screen.

Carlotta stepped closer and draped her arm around Richard’s, just about to speak, when she sensed something was off.

Turning her head, she realized that Abyss hadn’t left.

"Abyss, why didn’t you go?" she asked.

Abyss’s voice was cold: "By the Empress’s command, during our mission to Deep Blue Star, I must remain within two meters of you."

Carlotta was surprised by this order and looked questioningly at Richard.

Richard nodded slightly, then suddenly noticed the redness on Carlotta’s forehead and his pupils narrowed as he looked at Abyss. "Abyss, you seem to have ignored this command?"

Richard’s sudden sternness made Carlotta feel uneasy.

Abyss stiffened and bowed his head to admit his fault: "Your Highness, I am willing to accept punishment upon returning to Nore."

Realizing that Richard was defending her, Carlotta quickly explained: "No, Richard. The redness on my forehead is from me bumping into something. I wouldn’t listen to him, so how could he stop me?"

When facing Carlotta, Richard’s stern demeanor instantly dissolved.

His eyes were full of affection, but his tone was unequivocal: "He didn’t do his job properly, Carlotta. Don’t let him off easily."

Carlotta: "Alright."

She felt that Richard was making a mountain out of a molehill, although it was out of concern for her.

However, thinking of the command she had just heard—that Abyss couldn’t be more than two meters away from her—Carlotta was about to propose discussing some adjustments, but then Richard asked, "So, Carlotta, why did you bump into the wall? Why didn’t you come to Uncle Emperor for advice when you encountered a problem?"
