'So he's the ant king?' Nox recalled the ant queen mentioning the ant king of times past. According to her, he had gone away to increase his strength to become more useful to the colony.
Naturally, the head of the ant colony was the queen. The king was more of a consort and a partner rather than a ruler. The queen laid eggs and ensured the survival of the colony, while the king's role was to support and protect her.
Thinking of this, Nox looked at the eggs and then back at the ant king. 'Shit, I hope he doesn't get the wrong idea.'
The ant king scanned the surroundings, then his gaze settled on Nox. [Human! What are you doing here?] he said in an arrogant authoritative voice. It was capable of making anyone cower in fear, but the human stood lost as if he was checking out the ant king.
