"Why did you come, though? Is there a reason for the two-day break?" The Countess asked.
Theo nodded. "I came to give some orders to the Ant Queen. I am done now, so I will have to leave in a few hours to reach the academy tomorrow, Mother." Theo explained, making the Countess nod.
The Count couldn't help but ask, "What did you want to command?"
Theo looked at him and knew the Count couldn't help himself.
"I want to have the hive connection with the Ant Queen even when I am in the royal capital, Father." He said and continued, "It can only happen if the Ant Queen starts its expansion toward the capital. It might take a lot of time, but it's worth it, I believe."
The Baron kept looking at him and then went into thought.
"Hmm... the royal capital is a little too far for a creature like an ant, but there is a bigger issue, Theo." The Baron said, making Theo listen intently.
