The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 – “I Only Like You.”

　　☆☆、Chapter 24- The Whole Empire Heard That The Marshal Was Getting Married (Part 5)☆☆、

　　In the kitchen, Miranda kicked her old rival’s butt impatiently. She turned around a few times like a headless fly, and she could hardly control her irritability.

　　”Hey, lazy guy, the Crown Prince… oh no, what did His Royal Highness the Regent say?”

　　Ke Xi was so lazy that he didn’t even bother to kick back. He turned around, raised his eyelids, and imitated him in a pretentious way: “‘Glenn, why are you showing me this?!'”

　　Miranda: “Huh?”

　　Ke Xi supported the backs of his two colleagues who were listening at the crack in the door without any guilt, turned around slowly, stood up straight, and patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves: “Regarding the end of the life of the Hailixing and entering the supernova state, what did the marshal say at that time?”

　　”Time flies, everything changes, life is short, I have to settle down with him as soon as possible.”

　　Ke Xii touched his chin and said, “But in essence, Hailixing is simply finished, right? In other words, Hailixing is dead?”

　　Miranda: “…” You are so fucking unromantic.

　　Ke Xi touched his chin again and continued, “You said, a small wooden stake like the marshal suddenly woke up one day and changed his nature, evolving from ’90-degree natural teasing’ to ‘360-degree seamless artificial precision teasing’. What would His Royal Highness the Regent think?”

　　Miranda, Harvillin, Security Officer Simon: “…”

　　Ke Xi raised one eyebrow, closed the door, and returned to his pretentious tone, covering his chest with sadness: “Look, a planet can be so splendid at the end of its life; life is the same. I use my limited time to respond to your love because I don’t have much time.”

　　Miranda, Harvilin, Simon: “…”

　　Ke Xi rubbed his sore cheeks, half of his bones softened, and he sat against the bulkhead, his tone returning to his usual lazy tone: “Besides, the Marshal was just captured once and suffered some minor injuries. This guess seems very reliable no matter how you think about it, right? Smart people just like to think too much, alas.”

　　”……”

　　Miranda ignored his implicit boasting, held her forehead with her left hand, and raised her right hand in sorrow: “Stop talking, please! Let me be quiet!”

　　•=|=•

　　In the restaurant, Marshal Glenn, who wanted to propose, looked confused.

　　However, Joshua’s eyes became redder and redder, and his beautiful blue eyes gradually became moist, as if he had suffered a great injustice in his youth- he just looked at him fiercely, but the tears refused to fall.

　　Glenn’s handsome brows were tightly knitted, and he raised his hand awkwardly to Joshua’s eyes: “Don’t cry.”

　　It would be better if he didn’t say anything.

　　After he spoke, a tear quickly slid down Joshua’s fair face and was quickly wiped away by the original owner, leaving no trace… as if nothing had happened.

　　Glenn: “…”

　　Okay, okay, you didn’t cry, you didn’t cry.

　　He looked at Joshua quietly for a while, and after a few thoughts in his mind, he raised his hand and rubbed his now brown hair- he always preferred to solve the problem with the simplest straight ball.

　　So Glenn looked straight into Joshua’s eyes and asked seriously, “Joshua, why are you crying?”

　　Joshua was stunned for a moment. He carefully discerned Glenn’s expression and asked again in a hoarse voice: “Glenn, why are you showing me all this?”

　　Glenn felt helpless.

　　Although the Marshal was too upright, he was not stupid. It was just that Joshua’s thinking was much more active than his, and he could not figure out the twists and turns.

　　Glenn thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “I think things in the world are unpredictable. Joshua, the magic of time can destroy even the stars, let alone ordinary people.”

　　”So what?”

　　Glenn was also stunned by the question. He rolled up half of his sleeves nervously and smiled: “So I have something to tell you.”

　　Joshua’s mind was still in a mess. He just said “hmm” and lowered his eyes quietly… His eyelashes were long and thick, and they trembled slightly because of his owner’s restless mood, which made Glenn’s heart even more itchy.

　　Then the black-haired marshal touched his nose, as if it could relieve this mysterious impulse, and he slowly said: “Joshua, time passes too fast…”

　　Too fast.

　　”When I realized it, I suddenly realized that I had liked you for so many years.” Glenn paused, used his fingers to indicate a long distance, and then continued: “It was at that time that I realized that you…”

　　‘You must have…liked me since a long time ago.’

　　Joshua raised his head, and his blue eyes gradually became clear, as if he had abandoned the previous anxiety and despair. But these eyes blinked, and new anxiety and confusion arose in Glenn’s words.

　　”I’m sorry,” Glenn said sincerely.

　　Joshua temporarily lost the ability to speak, and he stood there quietly, like a beautiful sculpture.

　　‘Mr. Glenn Sasier, what do you want to apologize to me for?’

　　‘Liking you has not caused me too much pain. Even if there is reluctance and helplessness roaring in my heart, it is not greater than the warmth and happiness you bring me.’

　　‘Without knowing it, you have saved me, time and time again.’

　　‘What should I…say?’

　　After the minute hand of the antique clock turned a few more times, Joshua nodded and smiled casually: “Yes. I have liked you for a long time. After so many years, I only like you.”

　　Then he shook his head again and said softly: “But there is nothing to be sorry about. Whether I like you or not and whether you like me or not are two different things and cannot be confused… To be honest- I am very satisfied and very grateful to you.”

　　Joshua said: Only you.

　　These four words made Glenn’s heart beat faster and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

　　His Royal Highness the Regent, who finally blurted out his thoughts, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, overturning all his previous unreliable guesses.

　　He slowly rose from the abyss and returned to the clouds again, and even tasted a subtle sweetness on his lips and tongue.

　　The Marshal suppressed his nervousness and calmed down, denying, “No, I’m not apologizing for this.” He raised his hand and placed it on Joshua’s thin and strong shoulder, and said softly, “I just feel that because of me, we actually wasted so many years.”

　　Joshua flinched slightly, then listened with anticipation and resistance.

　　”I can’t be you directly and experience what you’ve felt all these years. But in the past few short months… I know that I like you, but I can’t be with you. This feeling is enough to drive me crazy.”

　　”I’m sorry for letting you bear this alone for so many years.”

　　And, Joshua.

　　‘Compared with the stars, human life is so short.’

　　‘Whether it’s three, five, or seven years, those days when you and I love each other, I want to live with you as a lover.’

　　If at the moment you realized that you were leaving me, our story had another beginning…even if it’s just imagination, the picture is so gentle that it makes my heart palpitate.

　　‘So I feel that my slowness is a waste of our time.’

　　‘We have missed so many good things.’

　　”So I want to take you to see all the places we have been to, whether it is Shizukumi Star, Ateneus, the Hailixing, Boman Star or Gulang Star. I don’t know where you have sensed this feeling. But I want to find the point we missed.”

　　”Where you fall, there you get up. I want to start over with you at that point.”

　　He tightened his fingers, gently pinched the young man’s well-shaped shoulders, and asked softly, “Are you willing?”

　　•=|=•

　　The fearless Marshal was now feeling more nervous than ever before.

　　Until he noticed that the pair of blue eyes were shining, brighter than the thousands of stars of different colors in the viewing window.

　　Joshua moved his lips, but tears came out before his voice.

　　The precious drop of water was wiped away by Glenn’s rough fingers, and he could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

　　Joshua’s voice became even hoarser, but he was smiling brightly.

　　”I do.” He answered firmly.

　　”Where is our next destination?”
