The king and queen were calmly sitting in their throne room, listening to their head guard explain the disappearances, yet he couldn't understand how the kidnappers were succeeding!
What fools—of course he doesn't understand! This world has no experience with Zerg like me!
BANG!
With a single kick, the royal door exploded open, both halves flying across the floor for several meters.
"Who dares?!" shouted the king, shocked to see the massive golden and wooden door hurled aside!
Rosia slowly entered, and when her parents saw her, they were stunned—for with every step she took, she was transforming into her sub-queen Zerg form, with me perched on her shoulder. This time, I wasn't hiding at all. My centipede-like body wrapped around her neck.
But it wasn't just the king and queen who were shocked—the guards, too, began to tremble more and more in fear. Some even collapsed to the ground!
"Rosia? Is that you?"
"Yes, Darian… But I haven't been your daughter for a long time now! Only my queen, Pallas, matters!"
She gently caressed my face, shocking her ex-parents not just with her words, but with the tenderness she showed to someone like me—a creature that looked like a centipede with a humanoid head.
"How...? How can you be… that?!"
"My queen transformed me!"
The queen screamed in pain and rage, her knuckles turning white from how tightly she clenched her fists.
"You forced her, MONSTER?!"
I laughed, though it came out as a high-pitched screech. Rosia laughed as well.
"Of course not… She didn't force me. My queen came to me when no one in this kingdom wanted me anymore!"
"When?" her mother asked cautiously.
"When that dear Leno did everything he could to destroy me!"
When the king and queen heard this, they were completely shaken. The queen, still in disbelief, spoke again.
"How… How is that possible…?"
Only now were they realizing they should never have let that go. The king, both shocked and enraged, stood up with a loud slam against his throne and shouted to the guards and personal assassins:
"Kill them!"
At that moment, assassins and guards who had collapsed earlier stood up and rushed forward. The king smiled, clearly eager to kill me and "free" his daughter from what he thought was my control…
But then the assassins and guards stabbed other assassins and guards!
"What?!"
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh, dear Darian, dear Calista, I've parasitized so many people in this castle—they are completely at my mercy, and my queen's!"
At that moment, Belladonna Blossom and Amaryllis Blossom appeared, fighting the rest without killing them. Battles erupted, but the parasitized ones used their parasites to the fullest, making them far stronger than normal humans!
It took less than ten minutes to bring the non-parasitized to their knees. Rosia approached her parents—women were parasitized with the Love Parasite, while the men were taken to the nest to serve as protein for egg-laying!
Sure, Rosia has an enormous sexual appetite and uses this as an excuse for sex, but the parasitization isn't just for fun. Once turned Zerg, these warriors become more powerful than ordinary Zerg, no matter the rank!
Even if Rosia is a damn sex maniac! And I'm not saying that out of jealousy for not being able to sleep with my slave-concubines or her! Absolutely not! When will I finally get a more human body?!
After parasitizing those who needed to be and sending the rest to the garden basement, Rosia slowly approached her former parents with a cruel smile on her lips...
"You, Calista, will become my slave-concubine. And you, Darian… You should be strong enough to produce an Elite Soldier, right?"
"Screee! (I doubt it!)"
"Scree! Scree… (He's so weak, even the Elite Soldier will be pathetic! But for now, he's a good resource...)"
"Wait!" Calista cried out, her voice full of terror.
"I'm your mother and you want me to be one of your concubines?! Are you insane?!"
"I haven't been your daughter for a long time! In fact, I'm not even human anymore! Your blood no longer runs in my veins!"
"And for you… it's going to be complete humiliation! That's what excites me the most!"
"Rosia… What have you become...?"
"A magnificent Zerg, Calista. Nothing more, nothing less!"
The queen was completely defeated. She collapsed to her knees, sobbing, eyes full of despair for how things had spiraled so quickly…
She opened her mouth in shock, not fully understanding what parasitization even was, but beginning to grasp the intent behind it. Her eyes filled with dread.
"Good girl, opening your mouth right away…"
Rosia extended her arm, then with a swift cut, her blood turned into a Love Parasite and dove straight into the queen's mouth. She choked at first, then slowly returned to normal.
Our goal, alongside Rosia, is to eventually reach 100% Love Parasite saturation, but for now, that's just the dream—even if it has to go slowly.
The queen, now completely broken, could only stare at her daughter with tear-filled eyes. Rosia smiled at her innocently.
"Come on, don't look at me like that, Calista. If you're good enough and catch our queen's attention, maybe you'll become her slave-concubine too!"
Calista looked at me. I tried to give her a smile—though my mouth was usually full of teeth! Rosia continued:
"Besides, we're going to take control of the world, make it our nest. You'll be at the top of the food chain again—by being Queen Pallas's slave-concubine!"
Calista barely listened anymore, her mind completely shattered by what had just happened, registering only fragments of speech. She trembled at my attempted smile, or whatever it was supposed to be.
She watched as her husband was dragged away from the throne room, toward Rosia's nest basement. The king screamed in agony, trying to cling to the floor, to anything he could hold onto.
As for Rosia, she placed me on the queen's grand throne and sat herself on the smaller one.
Then, I screamed with a monstrous cry, and hundreds of Zergs burst in from everywhere—emerging from underground, crashing through the roof!
I looked at them and gave a command in the Zerg voice:
"Go to the kingdom of Regium Aeternum and devour the weakest! The tastiest will be kept alive—to be bred like pigs!"
"They shall feed our growth forever!"
