The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Chapter 2

　
　☆☆Chapter 2 – The Whole Empire Thinks the Admiral is Not Single☆☆

Chapter 2 – “We’ve Wasted 11 Years, And I Don’t Want To Wait Any Longer.”

　　　Admiral Glenn does not hit women and Omegas, nor female Alphas.

　　So the next day, Admiral Ke Xi had dark circles under his eyes, while Admiral Miranda was still in high spirits. There are not many things in the world that could make people secretly happy than gossiping about their old rival while seeing him or her in trouble!

　　Afterwards, everyone was forbidden to discuss this matter in front of Admiral Glenn and the Crown Prince, and Miranda took the lead in agreeing. Looking at the glittering eyes of his colleagues, Glenn felt insecure for the first time.

　　•=|=•

　　”So what did His Highness say?” Captain White smiled good-naturedly. His brown chestnut hair was very soft, and his caramel-colored eyes revealed the gentle temperament that only Beta could have.

　　”He didn’t say anything,” Glenn frowned and looked unhappy.

　　White is a trustworthy friend, at least compared to that group of gossipy Alphas. They met in the Battle of Ateneus and it had been seven or eight years now.

　　But it must be said that this was the first time Glenn had drunk with someone other than Joshua. Until today, he had never had any troubles that he could not talk to Joshua about.

　　Glenn shook his head, and the amber liquid in the glass in his hand trembled slightly, making a crisp sound.

　　”I told him that I was afraid that the whole empire thinks that I should go and steal the bride. I thought he would laugh.” Glenn paused, “but he just looked at me and said nothing… You know, he is always very gentle when he is not on the battlefield. It was a very normal expression.”

　　”Then what?”

　　”I said that the battle plan still needed to be revised, and then, I left.”

　　White laughed: “Admiral, we usually call this kind of behavior a flight.”

　　”Whatever you say.” Glenn groaned in pain, his handsome features showing a rare childishness. “Twenty-four hours ago, I was sincerely happy about my friend’s engagement, but now…”

　　”What now?”

　　”I don’t know,” Glenn said dejectedly. “I don’t think Joshua is serious about this marriage.”

　　His black hair was long and hung slightly on his temples, and his occasional blank expression gave him a strange kind of sexiness.

　　”Rumors don’t bother me, but that’s Joshua, he’s Joshua. Theresa is a good Alpha, but I don’t know if I should dissuade him.”

　　White patted Glenn’s shoulder sympathetically and quietly took the glass from his hand: “You and His Highness have known each other for a long time.”

　　”It’s been a long time, almost eleven years.” Glenn raised the corners of his lips slightly and revealed a smile, “I was only 20 at that time, and I was still an ordinary mecha soldier. Your Highness was even younger, just a teenager…”

　　The Third Galactic Era 3074, Shizukumi

　　”Hey, Sergeant.” The blond boy, wearing a military uniform that didn’t fit him well, walked blatantly into a military tent in the corner.

　　He wasn’t nervous because no one would notice him.

　　At least in this remote little base, no one knew who he was. This kind of freedom made him happy, not to mention that he was naturally fond of danger.

　　The young sergeant in the tent had not yet fallen asleep. He was wrapped in bandages and looked very miserable. Holding a tattered military book in his hand, he tilted his head slightly towards the source of the sound.

　　At today’s battle, in order to save his comrades, the young sergeant who was in a white mech was hit by a particle cannon in the left leg center of the mech. It caused him to fall from a height of dozens of meters. Everyone thought he would die, but he was lucky. He managed to eject the cockpit at the last moment and landed on the deck of a nearby starship. Although it looked a little scary, he only suffered some superficial injuries.　　

　　”Joe, why are you here?” The sergeant laughed heartily, “Didn’t I tell you not to take it to heart?”

　　His hair and eyes were very dark, but his smile was very bright, like a luminous body. The blond boy was stunned for a few seconds, and a blush appeared on his white face covered with dust.

　　——Oh my god, he actually blushed in front of an Alpha. Joe despised himself in his heart.

　　”I just came to see you.” The boy tilted his neck stubbornly and took out a golden ointment from his pocket. “This is for you. It has a very good healing effect.”

　　The sergeant took the ointment and frowned. The boy thought to himself that something was wrong.

　　This is a special medicine provided by the palace. The boy did not want to be recognized because of momentary guilt, as that would bring a lot of trouble.

　　Fortunately, the pair of beautiful dark eyebrows immediately relaxed. The sergeant patted the side of his bed and said gently, “Come here, Joe.”

　　The boy walked over inexplicably and sat down on the edge of the bed.

　　The sergeant grabbed the boy’s slender waist and lifted up the baggy military uniform without any hesitation. His movements were smooth and he was not affected by the wounds on his body at all.

　　Joe exclaimed: “What are you doing——”

　　The soft and cool touch from his lower back made his shout stop abruptly. The young sergeant laughed in a low voice, and his magnetic voice made Joe’s eardrums tremble.

　　”Shh, shh—keep your voice down. I remember you were injured. You can’t reach this spot yourself. Don’t scream like a girl or an Omega.” After a while, the sergeant laughed again. He really loved to laugh. His breath hit the boy’s neck softly with the vibration of his lungs. “But your skin is better than any girl or Omega I’ve seen. Your waist is very thin, and uh… your face is also very beautiful.”

　　Joe’s whole face turned red.

　　At this moment, he was extremely grateful that the new inhibitors and concealing agents developed by the Empire were strong enough. This man was simply a criminal.

　　”What…what’s your name?” Joe heard himself ask.

　　”Me?” The young sergeant carefully applied the ointment and straightened the back of the boy’s oversized uniform. “I’m Glenn, Glenn Sasir. Everyone calls me ‘Glenn the Reckless’.”

　　”Call me Joshua.” The blond boy bit his lower lip lightly, “Don’t tell anyone, but call me Joshua.”

　　•=|=•

　　Captain White smiled and clinked glasses with Glenn: “Although I don’t know what you were thinking about just now, as a friend, I think I should give you some advice.”

　　Glenn nodded, motioning for him to continue.

　　”Your expression just now was very gentle – go back and look in the mirror more often, especially when you recall the past. You may make some interesting new discoveries.”

　　Glenn: “…”

　　‘All my friends seemed to be going crazy.’

　　In the Third Galactic Era, each galaxy was equally powerful, checked and balanced against each other. Although peace was maintained on the surface, it was as fragile as an illusion and almost destroyed at any time.

　　For the Fran Empire, a visit from a Grand Duchess is no small matter, not to mention that the Grand Duchess is Glenn’s good friend and Joshua’s future partner. Her status is extremely important, and the workload of the military and parliament had almost doubled.

　　Joshua sometimes summoned Glenn for preparatory work. At these times, Glenn felt like a rotten wooden stake inside, with turbulent waves beneath his calm and composed mask.

　　When not summoned by Joshua, Glenn was busy like a spinning top. The inquiring eyes of his colleagues pushed this big spinning top to the brink of explosion several times, but he was defeated by whispers like “Look, Admiral Glenn has not yet recovered from his emotional injury and has to devote himself to work to prepare for the visit of His Highness’s partner. How painful his heart must be.”　　

　　——‘I don’t know if my heart hurts, but won’t your conscience hurt?!’

　　More than anything else, Glenn was frightened by Joshua’s attitude.

　　Joshua seemed to have become a different person overnight. He no longer invited him to dinner or play Lev ball, nor did he share his recent reading notes or government notes with him. He no longer asked for his opinion or said good night to him. He even stopped discussing the battle plan for Jinluxing with him. The distant smile on his face when they met made Glenn feel uncomfortable.

　　‘Could it be the aftereffect of the gossip that made Joshua decide to avoid me before marriage?’ Glenn thought uncomfortably.

　　In late October, Admiral Glenn took a rare three-day leave.

　　The preparations for Theresa’s visit were almost complete, and Glenn felt that he had to take a good rest for a few days, otherwise he would probably become the first military general to die from overwork and go down in history in an alternative way.

　　He didn’t make an appointment with anyone, and drove a small civilian mecha alone to the Galaxy Resort not far from the capital of Fran, intending to stay there quietly for three days.

　　There is the most advanced astronomical observation equipment, and the best hot springs and massages, all of which Glenn liked very much.

　　The entire Fran Empire knew that Admiral Glenn grew up in an orphanage when he was a child, and was adopted by a branch of the Sasir family when he was eighteen, bringing supreme glory to this declining family. But no one knew how much Glenn had hoped to one day be able to drive a real mecha and travel in the beautiful galaxy during his long childhood.

　　Now he had been driving the empire’s best mecha and had been to every corner of the galaxy, but he still loved the stars and was fascinated by the charming light that permeated the vast universe.

　　However…there are always unexpected things.

　　In the observation room, Joshua held the telescope and calmly greeted his friend: “Hi, Glenn, long time no see.”

　　His light blond hair had not been trimmed for a long time and was gently tucked behind his ears. His azure eyes were hidden under his long eyelashes, hiding the smile in his eyes.

　　”Are you here to admire the stars, too? What a coincidence. Theresa, who do you think this is?”

　　Glenn tightened his jaw muscles, his mouth corners slightly turned down, and he restrained himself from turning around and leaving.

　　”Oh my god! Glenn baby! My god! Look at me!”

　　Theresa’s hair was as red as fire. She turned her head from the fixed viewing chair and blew a kiss excitedly.

　　Glenn had no doubt that if her posture did not allow it, she would have pounced on him and clung to him- Her Excellency Grand Duchess Theresa was a die-hard fan of Admiral Glenn of the Fran Empire, and this seemed to be a real secret.

　　”I didn’t expect to see you here. Have you missed me in the past three years?”

　　”No.”

　　Admiral Glenn spoke the truth. He was particularly displeased with Theresa today.

　　”How sad.” Theresa didn’t care. Her sticky tone gave goose bumps to the servants who were listening. “Your pheromones still smell so good. Do you mind if I lick your neck?”

　　Theresa’s servants covered their faces with their hands to hide their horrific expressions.

　　—Grand Duchess, is it really appropriate for you to sexually harass your future partner’s rumored boyfriend in front of your future partner? Is that right?

　　——Aren’t you a homosexual? Are you trying to get married by fraud?! You must be!!!

　　Glenn restrained the pheromones that overflowed from his emotional fluctuations and silently glanced at Joshua’s expression. The corners of Joshua’s mouth twitched and he coughed lightly.

　　”Theresa, let’s go to the rooftop restaurant. Don’t you want to eat Roguemon’s leg meat?”

　　Then he smiled gently and added politely, “Glenn, do you want to join us?”

　　Glenn refused. He didn’t want to be bothered by Joshua and Theresa’s problems during his vacation.

　　Theresa seemed reluctant to leave and was dragged away by the crowd, looking back every few steps.

　　•=|=•

　　In the restaurant, Theresa had slightly raised eyebrows, fierce red lips, and a black tight skirt that outlined her hot figure. Her every move exuded a fierce aura.

　　This is Her Royal Highness Grand Duchess Theresa of the Celine Galaxy, the woman with the highest status and the most outstanding military achievements in the Celine Galaxy.

　　”Hey, I say, aren’t you afraid of going too far by playing like this? My idol has always been an honest man.” Theresa ate the second portion of rogue beast leg meat heroically. She had a great time acting today and her appetite was particularly good.

　　Joshua’s expression remained unchanged as he wiped the soup from the corner of the alpha’s mouth with a napkin.

　　”Something has to change, otherwise it will never be possible.”

　　Theresa blinked in confusion.

　　She is a lesbian, and as an Alpha, her feelings are always direct. Joshua’s words are like physics formulas to her.

　　”I’m already 27 years old, Theresa,” Joshua’s eyes softened, but his tone remained firm: “We’ve wasted 11 years, and I don’t want to wait any longer.”
