Chapter 253: The Insect Convoy

The insect woman grabbed the bowl containing the mushroom soup and started sniffing it. From the looks of it, she hasn't seen or has eaten a mushroom soup in her entire life. Maybe because the Insect kingdom is not that abundant in resources and the main resource you can actually get easily is seafood and the local wildlife found in the forest of the Insect Kingdom so it's not surprising for me to see her looks like she hasn't seen this kind of stuff before.

We continue eating our food and as she observe us eating the food she is holding, she also decided to give it a try and give her mouth a spoonful of Mushroom soup.

"Hmm?!" her eyes lit up and she look at the soup on her hands with awe before she continue to scoop a lot more.

"Looks like she is enjoying the food now."

Her face is showing the satisfaction she is feeling from eating the food. In no time, she finished the food I handed to her.

"MORE!"

I can only laugh a bit before giving her seconds.

...

The food that I prepared was licked clean and not a single drop of soup was left behind. The Insect woman has eaten most of the food I prepared. Thankfully, I prepared a lot of it, allowing Atlas and Lucia to get the most of the soup before it was consumed by the insect woman. Her satisfaction is pretty much obvious in her expression. Not eating for at least three days would obviously starve you out.

Maybe she did eat something inside the stomach of the Giant Devouring Sandworm but it would just be pretty disgusting but that is not impossible. Due to that, it's pretty normal for her to eat something that much after getting hungry.

"Alright. With that said, it's time to introduce ourselves. I am Bladeheart and these two are my followers, Lucia and Atlas. The wolves guarding are also my followers. You don't have to worry much about them. How about you, who are you, and how come you are inside the stomach of the Giant Devouring Sandworm.

"Ah... I am Tina. The carriage that I was riding on was eaten by the monster, which is why I ended up on its stomach."

Ah, no wonder I saw some parts of the carriage on the stomach of the monster, it might be the carriage that was eaten and got destroyed when it was swallowed.

"How come you are here in Sandurk? According to the books, you are one of the insect people and are living in Aquagius. Then how come you are here?"

"I was about to visit the Queen of Sandurk after scheduling a meet-up with her to talk about some business when the monster attacked. Now I don't know where are my subordinates since I know they aren't part of the people that got devoured because I am the only one in there."

"Oh, so you have companions. Then how come no one is looking for you? We were just in the cities nearest to the place where the monster appeared. There should be at least someone trying to ask for help to slay the enemy and retrieve you from the monster."

"I don't know. All I know is that the monster swallowed me whole for how many days. I was lucky there are some food in the carriage I managed to get before it sank to the murky liquid on its stomach."

Looks like Tina is someone who has a high status in the Insect Kingdom as she got some people in her convoy to help her reach the queen's palace in Sandurk. But why is it somewhat strange?

First, if the convoy is attacked, the Giant Devouring Sandworm will eat every moving creature it detected above ground and will try to destroy things as much as it can. But if only the carriage where Tina was riding got eaten, then I am having suspicions. Even the one driving the carriage should also be eaten in the process if that is the case since she said it was all so sudden.

I smell a foul play on this one. Not only that, but I also smell some Quests for me to take.

"If you are planning to visit Queen Tanya, then I will be able to help you out by reaching out to her. You got a schedule to meet with her right?"

"Yes. I should have been meeting her once I arrived at her castle during the time I was traveling but I don't know how long I was inside the stomach of the monster. I almost thought I will be digested after I fell to the liquid."

No wonder she is not wearing anything when we found her, her clothes melted when she fell to the gastric juices of the Giant Devouring Sandworm. It was notorious for being capable of melting the clothes or armor of a person once you got exposed to it. Thankfully, if the gastric juices of the Giant Devouring Sandworm get into a person or another species, they won't dissolve immediately. They will only be dissolved if they are exposed to it for prolonged durations so it was a miracle we found her before she get digested.

"Alright, if it's fine with you, we can take you there without a hassle and we will arrive in just a few minutes. Of course, we won't force you to do so. But you don't have to worry about the Queen since we are her acquaintance."

"Can I trust you?" Tina was uncertain for sure.

"Nonsense! My master is very trustworthy, you won't be in bad hands with him and he will fulfill the promise, no worries."

Tina is hesitant but she has no choice. "Alright. Please send me to the castle so that I can meet with the Queen."

"Alright. Oh, before we leave, may I ask, are you afraid of heights?"

"Uh...no?"

As soon as I heard the word "No", I snap my fingers and Leona appeared before us, conjuring small gusts around us.

"A gryphon?!" Tina was so shocked she fell to the ground while staring at the majestic form of Leona.

"Let's get going Tina, we will be going to meet Queen Tanya."

...

With Leona's help, we arrived at Queen Tanya's castle without any hindrances. When I passed by, the knights even did a salute to me which is quite exciting in my opinion. It's not easy to gain their recognition via quest alone so having a connection to Queen Tanya helped a lot.

We landed right in front of the gates of the castle of Queen Tanya. No matter how close Queen Tanya and I were, I still have to do the proper entrance to enter the castle grounds. Atlas and Lucia returned to 

"Oh, we didn't expect to see you, Sir Bladeheart!" the guards were immediately happy when they saw me. Maybe because of my achievement during the final skirmish while the Sandurk Raid occurred?

"How is everyone? I want to ask if Queen Tanya is in?"

"Her Majesty? Yeah, she is inside. Please come in. Are you going to meet with her?"

"It's not me, but this young lady here beside me has an appointment with her but it was delayed due to some reasons which are why I decided to help her."

The guards look at Tina and they were stunned when they saw her face.

"One of the insect people? But they left three days ago, how come there is currently someone from the Insect People that are still here? Aren't you guys and those guys that left 3 days ago were companions?"

"Some insect people also came to visit too?!"

"Yeah, they asked for an audience with her and reported something. We don't know the details so I have no more things to say regarding the discussion between them. You guys should ask her majesty herself if you guys are curious about what they discussed."

"Thanks for the info, take care, everyone."

With permission from the guards to enter the royal grounds, we managed to get inside the palace without any interference.

"Looks like you are indeed telling the truth that you and Queen Tanya know each other if the guards guarding the place are being friendly with you."

I helped Tina to quickly get her schedule to Queen Tanya as soon as possible. In just a few moments later, Queen Tanya allowed us to get inside the palace as she granted us an audience.

A servant appeared and we were escorted to where Queen Tanya is. But I didn't expect her to meet us while she was taking a bath. When we arrived, she is currently being washed by her servants. Tina was hesitant to get inside the room after seeing Queen Tanya naked in the bathtub but I didn't flinch and approached her.

Yes, I can see what was hidden by her clothes and it was not censored by light-kun, dark-kun, and censor-kun. It is a raw and uncensored experience.

"It's been a while Bladeheart."

"You are naked, Queen Tanya. Should I go out?" I asked her.

"No worries, you can stare all you want, I am proud of my body, so you don't need to shy away."
