The reason why Rosen was so certain that this was not a coincidence was naturally that he simply had his own solid reasoning. In the past, following the dissolution of the Dark Night Legion, a majority of the soldiers were allocated among each major legion. A great number of all of the officers ranked Major or higher were not willing to go another legion to obey the orders of another General out of their sheer loyalty to General Ling Yu. Therefore, many officers choose to be outright discharged from military service with some officers such as Knox and Irene choosing to serve as instructors in various military schools, no longer having any association with other legions.
Since they already knew that the generals in the major legions hated Ling Yu to their bones, it would have been impossible for them to sincerely treat his subordinates that were so loyal to him well.
Fornt and Zhou Yi represent the portion of the officers who retired directly after the dissolution of the Dark Night Legion.
Fornt used to be the Captain of the Dark Night Legionās Subsidiary Medical Treatment Squadron. He had a mild personality and brilliant medical expertise. After he retired, he could have gone directly to the Imperial Central Hospital as one of the top doctors. However, in spite of the capital starās generous pay, he came to this desolate planet and opened up a small public hospital. Running it for precisely 10 years, this truly does not follow a lick of common sense.
Zhou Yi is also of Asian descendant just like Ling Yu. When he was in the Dark Night Legion, he was the closest of friends with Ling Yu back when he was the Battalion Commander of the Dark Night Legionās First Guard Battalion. Even though this man behaves rather lazily, his body is highly trained in Kung Fu. This kind of Kung Fu that is focused on hand-to-hand punching and kicking is said to be very suitable for people with slightly-built bodies. Whenever Ling Yu had free time, he always liked to spar with him.
These two menās characters are 108,000 li apart. However, they have one key point in common.
Both of them are officers who Ling Yu personally selected for promotion, and both are unconditionally loyal towards General Ling Yu!
The two men have now simultaneously appeared on a desolate planet, one of them living next to Lin Yuanās home, and the other acting as a security guard at a nearby factory close to Lin Yuanās home. This is definitely not just a mere coincidence!
āWhich of your subordinates from the Dark Night Legion are also on Planet Rennes?ā Seeing the two keeping their silence, Rosen spoke with a cold face: āIf neither of you speaks, then Iāll take that as you want me to turn this whole planet upside down and go door to door looking for your old comrades then?ā
The two men looked at each other face to face. Just then, Fornt said awkwardly: āWe two, plus Lin Weicheng who has already sacrificed his life, no one else.ā
Rosen was silent for a moment and softly asked: āThe both of you coming to Planet Rennes, this was planned by Ling Yu, right?ā
Fornt and Zhou Yi abruptly stare at each other face to face.
Obviously, it was completely outside their expectations that the Marshal, who had been <b>not hearing and not questioning</b> for 18 years would suddenly go into an extreme rage, spitting with anger on this day.
( <b>TN</b> : Not concerned, never showing interest in something.)
Rosen tirelessly resisted the stab of pain in his heart and lowered his voice when he spoke: āThrough all these years, I have always believed that he had died. But in reality, I have never once seen his corpse with my own eyes. And if he is really dead, thenā¦ā¦ Where did Lin Yuan, that Omega child, come from then?ā
āā¦ā¦!ā Fornt and Zhou Yiās eyes simultaneously flashed with a trace of shock.
Rosen continued on speaking: āI have always felt that child quite resembled Ling Yu, but he was a Beta at the time. I had thought that Ling Yu died, so I didnāt dare to rashly speculate about itā¦ā¦ I didnāt know until last night that Lin Yuan was actually an Omega. Dr. Fornt, Lin Yuanās inhibitor was your doing, wasnāt it? Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Yi, Lin Yuanās skill is so good, you also taught himā¦ā¦ Right?ā
ā So thatās why there was always a sense of strange familiarity at the time when he was battling with that child in the mech training room.
When Lin Yuan operated his mech, a lot of his moves were just like that of a human martial artist. Including among these were some blocking moves, of which came from a boxing technique and they became exceptionally more familiar the more he observed.
It wasnāt until this moment that Rosen finally realized.
Thatās right, the way Lin Yuan operated his mech was completely just like a carbon copy of Zhou Yi!
Back in those years, Zhou Yiās talent was the reason why he was chosen by Ling Yu, it was precisely the way Zhou Yi piloted his mech. He entirely used humanoid mechs just as if they were human beings. The mech performed various kinds of a myriad of Kung Fu punching and kicking techniques and the effect simply made one exclaim in admiration!
Rosen is very familiar with Zhou Yiās standard method of punches and kicks, so as a result, he can predict beforehand all of Lin Yuanās movements when they battled with mechs!
ā Itās painfully obvious that Zhou Yi is Lin Yuanās master.
Rosenās sharp gaze was pointed straight towards Zhou Yi, āEven at this point, you still intend to hide it from me?ā
The two men once again took another glance at each otherās face. Zhou Yi only then said, āCough, thatās right, back then it was Lin Weicheng who brought Xiao Yuan back to Planet Rennes along with him, Weicheng had sacrificed his life not too long after on the front line. I accepted the Generalās orders to stay here and look after Lin Yuan. When Xiao Yuan was eight years old, I accepted him as my apprentice. I did indeed teach him Kung Fu.ā
Fornt quietly said: āI received a confidential letter from the General just as soon as I arrived on this planet. The general asked me to do him a favor and look after a child named Lin Yuan. At that time, I didnāt know Lin Yuanās past circumstances. I had always thought that he was the Beta son of Lin Weicheng and Mrs. Linā¦ā¦ Until Xiao Yuanās inhibitor exhausted at the age of eight, he suddenly fell ill, and I only then realized that he was an Omega.ā
Fornt paused, āLuckily the General had asked Weicheng to leave Mrs. Lin with a list of ingredients for the formulation of an inhibitor and some prohibited medications to prepare if ever needed. I referred to that list and remade a batch of inhibitors to give to Lin Yuan. Only after seeing Zhou Yi did I fully figure out the true circumstances in Lin Yuanās life.
Rosen felt a burst stabbing pain rise from the bottom of his heart from the two men telling him these things.
Ling Yuā¦ā¦
He didnāt actually die! Even that child was born!
Rosen didnāt know when all was said and done if at present he should feel mostly pleasantly surprised or mostly sad!
ā Pleasantly surprised that he is still alive and that child is also unexpectedly still alive!
ā Yet what makes him even more sad is that such a big secret was actually hidden from himself for so many yearsā¦ā¦
He thought he had died, he set up a tombstone for him in his back garden, and in front of the tombstone was filled with the symbol of the primrose, āThere is no other love except for youā. For a whole eighteen years, those flowers have already bloomed throughout the entire garden. Every year during springtime, a layer upon layer of flowers of beautiful purples and brilliant reds unfurl upon one another and wrap around the entirety of the tombstone. Just as if it was his own heart met with pain as vines tightly wrapped around it.
Eighteen years, longing for him every single day and night being met by endless remorse and painful tormentā¦ā¦
However, that person is undoubtedly alive, but with not a single message, he didnāt even let him know of the childās whereaboutsā¦ā¦
Rosenās fingers powerfully slammed into the hollow of his palm and the pain that spread from the depths of his heart spread throughout his whole body and made his blood pressure rise. His whole body felt as if it were cut into pieces by a sharp knife and the heavy squeezing sensation in his chest nearly suffocated him.
After a long silence, Rosen took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: āLing Yu, where is he now?ā
Zhou Yi hurriedly said: āWe also donāt know the Generalās whereabouts. The General must be in hiding. You should understand this thoroughly. If those old farts in the Military Department found out that he never died, they would definitely never let him go.ā
Fornt spoke with a gentle tone: āThatās right, Marshal, at this point, itās no longer necessary to keep you in the dark anymore. Ever since that incident happened back then, the General has been extraordinarily cautious. Every single time he has actively contacted us on his own accord, we simply have no way to contact him in turn. He has even installed an anti-tracking device in his communicator and mail in order to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the Militaryā¦ā¦ā
Zhou Yi nodded and echoed in agreement: āGeneral sent Xiao Yuan off to Planet Rennes and placed him in Lin Weichengās home. This was also to allow Xiao Yuan to peacefully grow up safe and sound. It was completely unexpected for that child Xiao Yuan to actually go behind our backs and secretly take the military schoolās examā¦ The rules and regulation institution of St. Romia Military Academy are extremely strict. We were afraid that if Lin Yuan did not go to school, the Military Department would specially investigate it and at that time they would instead follow the vine to get the melon and find out his past circumstances. So as a result, Fornt made a batch of inhibitors that can pass through the blood serum test and had the child take it along with him. I believed that I could have him drift along at first for his first academic year and come back later for his vacation and find another method.ā
Fornt thus also deliberately held a video conversation with his old friend Instructor Knox to make sure that the military academy would not examine the studentās genes and had his nephew Karl largely look after Lin Yuan while in school.
However, when it comes to the secret of the feigned death of General Ling Yu, Fornt is not able to clearly tell Mrs. Lin about Lin Yuanās true identity, so he repeatedly emphasized the importance of the inhibitor, allowing her to persuade her son to take medicine on time every day, even so much that she saidāIf you donāt take your medicine for two weeks youāll flare up againā, then finished off by sayingāYou cannot stop for even a weekā, trying to make this matter sound as serious as possible.
Unfortunately, the original meticulous plan, due to Mrs. Linās momentarily soft heart, did not tell Lin Yuan that he is an Omega but instead deceived him by saying that this was a problem with his immune system, causing Lin Yuan to be completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
On the spacecraft, Lin Yuanās medication was interrupted for more than ten days. Because it was the first interruption, there was only a small indication of it appearing. He then took the medicine on and was able to suppress it to a halt. But the second time the medicine became interrupted was in the capital star and finally led to the collapse of the effect of the inhibitor in Lin Yuanās body. His pheromones were in total chaos and he almost entered into the estrus period right then. Caesar then discovered the truth of his Omega identity.
Thinking of that child Lin Yuan, Rosenās heart abruptly aches all over.
ā That boy is actually his own son?
No wonder he always feels very close and dear to the child when he sees him, he feels himself growing soft-hearted in complete shambles when that childās sincere smile is aimed at him.
Perhaps Ling Yu had been forced by the circumstances as a reason for his departure and he had no other choice but to entrust this child to his former most trusted subordinates. In any case, that prideful Ling Yu surprisingly gave birth to this child. This child is of his own flesh and blood, in his body is half of his own blood!
Thinking of Lin Yuanās gleaming eyes, bright and glittering smile, and his cute appearance when he immersed himself in eating foodā¦ā¦
Rosenās heart was then filled with an indescribable trace of warmth.
The son of himself and Ling Yuā¦ā¦
This is the existence that can only be imagined in a dream. At this moment, it unexpectedly truly became a reality!
***
After Rosen left Zhou Yiās residence, Fornt and Zhou Yi looked at each other and only then did they simultaneously become relieved.
The scene of Ling Yuās feigned death was far too lifelike. Those people in the Military Department had thought that the Ling Yu already died. Therefore, his former subordinates in the Dark Night Legion were not roped into a net and captured and a part of the officers even took the initiative to retire and many of them even looked favorably upon it.
Fornt and Zhou Yi have been lying low on this remote planet. They have not been noticed for more than a decade. They have gotten used to living a leisurely life on this small planet. As a result, at Rosenās sudden murderous entrance today, the two of them had been unprepared and had been caught red-handed.
In fact, if you change places with other people, even if they saw those two living nearby, would they also think that it was some sort of a coincidence? After all, there are only so many human-inhabited planets in range of the Empireās political borders. As chance has it there are also a lot of old comrades who happen to live in the same place.
But Rosen easily deduced that this was all arranged by Ling Yu. It can be clearly seen just how much he understood Ling Yu.
Zhou Yi lightly sighed as he spoke: āJust telling him like this, was it really right?ā
Fornt turned over as he rolled his eyes, āNow youāre asking this question, donāt you think itās too late?ā
Zhou Yi coughed, āCoughā¦ā¦ I think even if we didnāt say it, he could have also very quickly investigated to uncover the truth. Rather than letting him drag Xiao Yuan away to do a paternity test, weād be better off telling him directly. After all, Xiao Yuan is also his son.ā
Fornt nodded his head: āSince we canāt continue to conceal it from him, letting him know his also fine. He will be there to take care of him in the Military. Xiao Yuan will be much better off in the future.ā
Zhou Yi thought about it before saying: āHe surprisingly found Planet Rennes and came over, obviously, Xiao Yuanās identity as Omega has already been found out by quite a number of people. I reckon itās probably an issue with his inhibitor. After you go back, you should re-make him a batch of inhibitors without delay.ā
Fornt immediately said seriously: āI know, I will go prepare at once.ā
***
Rosen once again returned to the place where Lin Yuan grew up.
Mrs. Lin saw him coming back and immediately greeted him. She smiled and said: āInstructor, come and sit down.ā
Rosen walked into the house and looked around for a moment, his face stiffened as he said: āIā¦ā¦ may I go to Lin Yuanās room and look around?ā
Mrs. Lin was shocked for a second, āOf course you can, please come with me.ā
Lin Yuanās bedroom was set up in a corner, an inadequately small room of less than ten square meters. It was systematically clear and orderly. A one-person bed was laid out with blue sheets on it, the curtains were also a light-blue, close to the color of the sky. To the side on his writing desk is where various mech models are exhibited along with a plethora of trophies.
This is that childās roomā¦ā¦
He came to this house at the age of four and lived here for a whole fourteen yearsā¦
Was he very fond of those mech model toys when he was a child?
He won so many trophies when he was in schoolā¦ā¦ He is truly a smart and sensible childā¦ā¦
Rosen looked inside Lin Yuanās room and recorded each and every one of his trophies as his growth trajectory. He felt proud of him, but at the same time, he couldnāt help but feel somewhat bitter.
As his own biological father, he never had the chance to witness this childās growth. By the time he found out the truth, he was already an outstanding 18-year-old boy. How did he live in those years? When did he take his first steps? When did he say his first word? When he was young, was the first word he learned to say āDadā?
The feeling of watching his son growing up little by little, was something Rosen would never have the opportunity to experience.
Seeing Rosenās gaze cast towards the biggest trophy, Mrs. Lin smiled and presented it to him: āThis is something Xiao Yuan got when he was in middle school. The school held their first fighting competition and in the end, he won the championship. Everything he knows about martial arts was taught to him from his master, he was especially happy after Lin Yuan received the award. He also asked his master to come to our house to have a meal and spend his birthday together with him.ā
Rosen nodded his head and asked: āWhat day is his birthday?ā
Mrs. Lin replied: āIt is Christmas Eve.ā
Christmas Eveā¦ā¦
He will inscribe this day in his heart. From today on, this will be the most important holiday for himself ā
His sonās birthday.
Rosen was silent for a moment and then once again spoke: āMrs. Lin, can I take a look at photos or video recordings from his childhood?ā
Mrs. Lin said with a smile: āOf course you can, ah. Iāll go get them real quick.ā
Mrs. Lin soon after held the video recordings and connected them to the TV inside the living room.
On the TV, a clip taken of Lin Yuan as a child was played. Rosen sat on the sofa and watched without saying a word.
The little four-year-old Lin Yuan rolled around on a bed and then turned over into a somersault. Rolling from one side of the bed to the other, he was not in the slightest weary. He flipped around all by himself and looked to be very happy playing.
Five-year-old Lin Yuan went along with his mother and sister to celebrate his birthday. The gluttonous little guy wanted to sneak some cake and as a result, the cake was planted right in his face with the cream then slathered across his entire faceā¦ā¦
Lin Yuan, a six-year-old, carries a backpack on his back to go to school, he waves goodbye to his mother, his face full of baby fat had a brilliant smileā¦ā¦
At seven years old, Lin Yuan came home with the first place on his school report card for the first time. He looked at his mother with a beaming smile and used a young and tender childish voice to say, mother, I am amazing, arenāt I? I will come back every year in the future with a first place on all of my exams for youā¦ā¦
Looking at Lin Yuanās adorable appearance as a child, the more Rosen stared, the more he liked him. He is itching to reach out his hands to go hug him.
ā¦ā¦Xiao Yuan, I am truly very sorry. I am an unqualified father. Not only did I fail to protect your Dad well enough, but I also let you live relying on someone elseās charity for so many years. Only now, 18 years later did I become aware of your existence.
ā¦ā¦From now on, Father will absolutely never again let you receive any harm upon even a single hair on your head.
Rosen took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa. Looking back at Mrs. Lin, he seriously said: āMrs. Lin, thank you, you have taught Lin Yuan very well.ā
Even though this womanās personality is weak, she is nevertheless really good to Lin Yuan. It is truly not easy for a person to bring up children all the way into adulthood while suffering every possible torment.
Rosen didnāt know how he should express his gratitude, he could merely just take a good look at her and say seriously: āYouāve worked hard.ā
Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: āI-I havenāt worked too hard. Xiao Yuan, he has always been especially obedient ever since he was a child. I didnāt have to worry about him at all. ā
Rosen grabbed his communicatorās number and put through a password to set it aside for Mrs. Lin. He softly said: āIf you run into any problems in the future, please do not hesitate to tell me. I will help you all. ā
Mrs. Lin said: ā Thank you!ā
Then, Rosen turned and left.
Mrs. Lin, who all by herself had stood in place of himself and Ling Yu and taken over their responsibilities of bringing up Xiao Yuan into adulthood. His heart was overflowing with gratitude. He does not know what he should do in order to repay and compensate her. He will have more opportunities in the future, he will put it aside until he sees Lin Yuan again.
At the moment, Rosen only wants to see Lin Yuanās face as soon as possible.
I want to use every ounce of my strength to bring that child into a hug and tell him ā
Son, donāt worry! Your father is right here and he will use every bit of his strength to protect you.
***
Rosen pilots Black Dragon to go back to the capital star at the fastest possible speed.
At this moment, Lin Yuan had just recently woken up.
The 600th annual celebration of the Empire was taking place in two days from now. In the time between today and tomorrow, there was free reign to make plans. Lin Yuan originally wanted to have Caesar take him all around the capital star and roam around, but Caesar just happened to have something to do today, it seems like he had to go to Brianās grandfatherās birthday party?
After Lin Yuan got out of bed, the smart system inside the hotel room immediately produced a pleasant voice: āLin Yuan, good afternoon! Before leaving, Caesar left behind a voice message for you. Are you currently listening?ā
While Lin Yuan walked towards the bathroom and he also said: āEn, letās hear it.ā
The system began to play the message and right away the familiar sound of Caesarās voice soon reverberated in the room. The deep and low timbre he heard from both of his ears felt extraordinarily warm ā
āLin Yuan, today I will be going to attend the birthday party of Brianās grandfather. I canāt accompany you to go out for a stroll. I will take you to the capital star to look all over the place tomorrow. You can make your own plans for today. Oh, by the way, there is some lunch I brought for you on the table, remember to eat it after you get up.ā
āOh, got it!ā Lin Yuan said a line in return and couldnāt help but laugh.
This is just a message, nothing more, but I surprisingly canāt help but answer him. Could the reason be that Iām just so used to his voice?
Lin Yuan rapidly washed his face and brushed his teeth then went back inside the room.
Sure enough, there was a heat-retention box placed on the dining table. Opening the lid, the aroma that assaulted his nostrils made Lin Yuan unable to help but gulp down his saliva.
The food is very rich, there are roasted chicken legs, meat patties, and two vegetable dishes, all of which were things he liked to eat. He didnāt expect Caesar to be so attentive. Before leaving, he was entirely prepared for lunch. He evidently guessed that he would sleep until noon then?
Lin Yuan smiled and sat at the table and bluntly began to eat.
Caesar isnāt here and Lin Yuan also does not want to go out and mindlessly stroll about with no set destination all by himself. This afternoon, he stayed in the hotel and went to the holographic network to play around in mech battles.
Passing through this period of improvement, Ball immediately won 20 matches in a row, the more Lin Yuan played the more excited he became, and it soon became nighttime.
I donāt know why, itās almost seven oāclock already and Caesar still hasnāt returned yet. Perhaps Brianās grandfather celebrates very late into the evening on his birthday?
Lin Yuanās stomach was empty, he took off his helmet and logged out of the holographic network and planned to order something to eat. Right at that moment, his communicator suddenly turned on, Lin Yuan chose to connect it and right away saw a familiar face appear on the screen in front of him. āLin Yuan, is it convenient to go out now? I want to see you.ā
Itās the Marshal!
Lin Yuan immediately and excitedly said: āWhere are you Marshal? I will come out at once!ā
Rosen softly said: āYou can head down to the doorway of the Royale Hotel, I will send someone to pick you up.ā
āAlright!ā Lin Yuan immediately turned around to change his clothes before going out the door.
He had just arrived at the doorway of the hotel when from not too far away, a high-end black suspension car began to come over. A man with a serious facial expression came out of the car and personally opened the door for Lin Yuan. In a low voice he said: āLin Yuan, please get in, the Marshal ordered me to come and pick you up.ā
āā¦ā¦ā This is simply the welcoming treatment of a VIP!
Lin Yuan was overwhelmed by all of the favor he was receiving as he took a seat in the car, he somewhat nervously asked: āWhere is the Marshal?ā
The chauffeur smiled and said: āI will take you to his home first, the Marshal will very soon be arriving at the constellation of Cepheus.ā
To the constellation of Cepheus? Is he not in the constellation of Cepheus? Could he have been carrying out a mission in another galaxy?
Lin Yuan is extremely puzzled in his heart, but stemming from his manners, he doesnāt dare ask a lot of questions.
The car was extremely fast and they soon arrived at the location of the Rosenās residence.
After laser scanning and password authentication, the apartmentās entrance was opened and the car drove straight in.
This is Rosenās private residence in the capital, an independent villa which was unusually designed. The lights inside the house are all turned on and with the full moon in the distance, it was just like a castle in a dreamland. The floor area of the entire apartment is almost the same size as a small park. The three-story villa is surrounded by a wide expanse of lawn, gardens, an exercise yard, and there is also even a super-large swimming pool not too far awayā¦ā¦
Lin Yuan looks out through the window of the car at the landscape outside. He couldnāt help but lament, the Marshalās home is also far too bigā¦ā¦
Moreover, the Marshal unexpectedly called himself to come over to his home. Is there any such secret matter that they cannot let other people know that required them to talk about it?
One of Rosenās trusted aides had been the one acting as a temporary chauffeur, the butler of Rosenās entire apartment, Wilde. Seeing Lin Yuan curiously looking out of the window, Wilde couldnāt help but smile and say: āYou can go sit down inside the house in advance, the Marshal will arrive soon.ā
Lin Yuan was politely invited into the living room by the butler. The living room layout is just like Rosenās personality. Simple European-styled furniture, no excessively lavish decorations, but instead it was set up in a very comfortable fashion giving off a homely aura.
Lin Yuan had just sat down on the soft leather sofa in the living room when at that moment, the door suddenly opened. Rosen came in travel-worn and caught sight of Lin Yuan. His originally indifferent gaze involuntarily softened.
Lin Yuan hastily got up from the sofa and went to go salute the Marshal, but he instead saw Rosen smiling as he said: āJust stay sitting down, in the future when we see each other private, thereās no need for any of that annoying etiquette.ā He then finished speaking and turned back to Wilde, āTell the kitchen to go prepare dinner.ā
The kitchen had obviously already been prepared and within five minutes, the fragrant food was at last placed on the table.
Rosen personally gave Lin Yuan a bowl of rice and handed it right in front of Lin Yuan as he said, āStill havenāt eaten dinner I presume?ā
Lin Yuan became embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, āEnā¦ā¦ā
A trace of tenderness couldnāt help but emerge in Rosenās gaze. He handed chopsticks over to him and softly said: āCome, eat first and when youāve eaten your fill weāll talk.ā
Lin Yuan humbly took the chopsticks and lifted up the rice and began to eat. Rosen took delicious food and place it in front of Lin Yuan from time to time and Lin Yuan was surprisingly unrestrained when he ate it. He was completely starving and immersed himself in all kinds of delicious food.
Soon enough, he finished off his dinner. After eating his fill, Lin Yuan asked in confusion: āMarshal, what did you call me for today?ā
Rosen grew momentarily silent and then stood up as he said: āCome follow me.ā
Lin Yuan followed Rosen to the back of the villa.
He was merely only able to see the garden within a radius hundreds of square meters, but from what he could see many kinds of beautiful flowers and plants were grown here. The red flowers shone under the moonlight as if they had been ignited into a blaze of fire. Layer by layer were magnificently unfurled flowers laying upon one another, a light wind passed. Even the air was filled with the distinctly sweet scent of flowers.
In the midst of a cluster of flowers stood a single tombstone. On the tombstone, a row of clear-cut handwriting is engraved ā
The Lacey Empireās Head of the Dark Night Legion, Tomb of Major General Ling Yu.
Enveloped underneath the moonlight, the tombstone seems to be draped with a layer of soft light muslin.
Seeing the words on the tombstone clearly, Lin Yuan suddenly froze in place.
Tomb of Major General Ling Yu? Is thisā¦ā¦ Dadās grave? But, according to Suzakuās deduction, isnāt Dad still alive?
Only, Suzaku was kept in the museum for so many years and also evidently did not know about Dadās whereabouts. Whatās going on now? Why would the Marshalās home have Dadās tombstone? Could Dad have died later?
Lin Yuan looked at the tombstone in front of him and suddenly his thoughts began going into a whirl.
Just then, the sound of Rosenās voice suddenly entered his ears, revealing a bit of strange hoarseness: āXiao Yuan, do you know who this is?ā
Lin Yuan: āā¦ā¦ā
Rosen softly said: āHe is your Dadā¦ā¦ He secretly gave birth to you and sent you off to Planet Rennes to hand you over to his most trusted subordinates to raiseā¦ā¦ Because the Military wasnāt willing to let him get away, he couldnāt keep you at his side and get you caught up in dangerā¦ā¦ So, he injected you with an inhibitor and wanted to have the identity of a Beta, growing up ordinarily and happily.ā
Listening to the Marshalās soft voice as he spoke, looking at the ice-cold tombstone in front of him, Lin Yuan couldnāt restrain his emotions as the rim of his eyes grew red, āIā¦ā¦ Dad, heā¦ā¦ How did he die?ā
Rosen was silent for a moment. āHe didnāt die.ā
Lin Yuan doubtfully asked: āThen this tombstone isā¦ā¦ā
Rosen raised his head and looked right at the tombstone in front of him and said: āThis tombstone was set up by me <b>18</b> years ago. At that time, he was pregnant. When he was piloting a mech to escape from the constellation of Cepheus, he encountered a cosmic sandstorm. I had thought that he was buried alive in the interstellar ruins, so I set up a monument in my homeā¦.. Since you have been born, then it proves that he did not die. He is still alive and properly gave birth to you.ā
( <b>TN</b> : Raws said 19 here and only here. Iām assuming itās a typo for now lol.)
Rosen turned his head back to look at Lin Yuan and said with a gentle tone: āXiao Yuan, I am your Alpha father.ā
Lin Yuan: āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Because of too much shock, Lin Yuan suddenly widened his eyes as he stared in disbelief at the man in front of him.
The Alpha father who he has been continuously wondering about, it was actually him?
How is that possible?!
Butā¦ā¦ the Marshal would never joke about this kind of thing. Moreover, when Dad was faced with the onset of estrus, he did indeed have Adjutant Knox to request for the assistance of the Glory Legion. In those years, General Rosen also indeed rushed over to helpā¦ā¦
Then he marked Dad?
Lin Yuan was in a complicated mood as he looked at the man in front of him and entirely didnāt know what the right thing was to say.
Rosen took a step forward and lightly placed his hand on Lin Yuanās shoulder and said in a low voice: āItās your fatherās incompetence. I couldnāt protect either of you well enough back then. I wasnāt even aware of your existence until todayā¦ā¦ Sorry, Xiao Yuanā¦ā¦ Iām sorryā¦ā¦ā
Looking at the glistening tears forming in the corner of the eyes of the man who had always been tough and indifferent and hearing his voice choking with emotion, Lin Yuan suddenly couldnāt help but feel a burst of distress.
In fact, during that time he also couldnāt blame him for the whole affair, after all, Dad was discovered to be injecting inhibitors by the Military. The Military would have had him severely punished and back then Rosen was only a General, it was simply impossible to save Dadā¦ā¦ The old-fashioned rules established in the Military are to blame. Furthermore, those four-star generals of the so-called major legions, because his Dad is an Omega, blotted out all traces of the meritorious services from the Dark Night Legionā¦ā¦
This world is merely to be blamed, it is really too unfair when it comes to Omegasā¦ā¦
Lin Yuan looked at Rosenās painful and remorseful appearance and hurriedly said: āNo, thereās no need to say sorry, I wonāt blame youā¦ā¦ I think Dad also wouldnāt blame you for trying to save himā¦ā¦ You are already trying your best arenāt you?ā
Lin Yuan scratched his head and turned his head back towards the tombstone, āIn these past years, you had thought he died, you were also very upset, right? You secretly set up this tombstone at your home for him and even engraved his military rank on the tombstoneā¦ā¦ I thinkā¦ā¦ You must certainly love him very muchā¦ā¦ā
Rosen was suddenly stumped for words.
He had thought that this child would surely blame himself and blame this father who neglected to do his job.
Unexpectedlyā¦ā¦ Xiao Yuan was actually so kind-hearted and open-minded.
The father and son stood side by side in front of the tombstone and remained silent for a long time.
Rosen just then spoke in a small whisper: āXiao Yuan, are you willingā¦ā¦ to call me Father?ā
Lin Yuan was stunned and looked back at Rosen, stuttering as he said: āā¦ā¦Fa-father?ā
Rosen immediately took Lin Yuan tightly into his arms and entered an embrace.
That kind of hug seemed as if he was afraid of losing something precious, it even made his heart tighten into a dull ache.
āI am here, Xiao Yuanā¦ā¦ā
āFather will protect you, I will never again let you suffer any grievances, absolutely neverā¦ā¦ā
Listening to the manās voice deep and low voice cracking with emotion in his ears, Lin Yuan was silent for a long time before finally reaching out and returning his hug, he lightly buried his face into his fatherās embrace.
A hug like this even made him reluctant to part from itā¦ā¦
This is precisely the love from a father that he had never experienced before.
Strong, warm, reassuring, able to prop up a sunny and cloudless sky for himselfā¦ā¦
Father.
The author has something to say: Actually, it could have been broken off in the middle! But I donāt want the stop halfway to make everyone have a kidney deficiency, thus a big chapter is finished!! Eight thousand characters, come one, you canāt deny it! Writing until midnight la!! Seeking praise!!
PS: I saw a lot of people asking, let me talk about the settings in this work.
In this writing, when an Omega is in estrus, the blood relatives within three generations will not be affected.
Father, grandfather, son, and grandson, these direct blood relatives are not affected by each other because of the common genes in their body.
For example, Rosen and Xiao Yuan, even though they are an Alpha and Omega, because the father and son are pure [Flesh and Blood], even if Xiao Yuan was in estrus, Rosen wouldnāt be affected at all.
In addition, regarding the daddies names, one is called Father (ē¶äŗ²), one is called Dad (ēøēø) (Daddy (ē¹ē¹) doesnāt feel too suitable, so itās like thisā¦ā¦) 2k novel reading network
( <b>TN</b> : Utter fools. I have managed to climb out of my hole! Whatās the plan now? Next chapter is a shortie so good for me? Some small changes. A kind reader found a better translation of Sheffield to be Cepheid so thatāll be a thing from now on. Also, Iāve been aware of something for a while now, I was just kind of laissez-faire about changing it. Planet Rennes should really be Planet Ryan, the other translator also planned on changing it to Rayan, but Ryan is like the English name it was going for. Soā¦ Opinions? If itās alright now as Rennes then Iāll keep it like that, but letās just get a little census so Iāll stop thinking about it every time I go to bed. Sorry for such a long note~)
