The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Extra 1.1

Extra 1.1 – Not All Black-haired Guys Are Disgusting

　　　☆☆、Chapter 26 – The Secret Love Story of the Fran Empire (Part I)☆☆、

　　Joshua first met Glenn at an awkward and psychedelic welcome party for seconded soldiers on Shizukumi in 2993.

　　At that time, Joshua had just turned fourteen and his body had not yet fully grown. Because of his solemnly expressed wish, he was handed over to old Marshal Sepon by Johnson Gustav, packed up and thrown into this remote military base.

　　Sepon and Johnson agreed on three things in advance:

　　1. Both the military and the crown prince himself must keep his royal identity secret.

　　2. His Majesty the Emperor shall not interfere in the military’s system of training new recruits.

　　3. Apart from necessary security and timely supply of medicines, Joshua Gustav will not have any special privileges.

　　This condition was a bit harsh. But the old marshal’s original intention was to make Joshua retreat- he hated sudden troubles the most, let alone letting a delicate royal Omega join the army?

　　Unfortunately, the three-month training ended in a flash, and the young crown prince never uttered a word of complaint.

　　Not just no complaints.

　　Joshua’s final training results included two A+s (mecha knowledge and combat command), one B (mecha simulation operation), and a C- (physical fitness test) – just looking at the first two items, this is more impressive than many fledgling Alphas.

　　Marshal Sepon was so shocked that he almost smashed the precious imperial desk in his old friend’s study. He screamed, “Can you bear to see your delicate Omega son suffer among a group of wild Alphas?!”

　　The Emperor, as a father, touched the desk where a piece of paint was shattered, and wrote down a request for compensation while nodding with a nonchalant smile.

　　”The heir of the Gustav family must bear the consequences of every choice he makes, regardless of gender, whether he is an adult or not, without exception.”

　　The old marshal stared at the compensation amount in silence and silently swallowed his sad tears.

　　In the winter of the same year, the blond boy, who went by the alias Joe, became a logistics mecha soldier for the Shizukumi Star garrison, with military license plate number: BA3374-JC.

　　Age: 17 years old.

　　•=|=•

　　Shizukumi is far from the star and is not well developed. Even in the warm area where the military base is located, the vegetation is mostly cold-resistant trees and parasitic species. This is very different from the capital planet where it is spring all year round.

　Joshua wore a thick fur coat under his oversized combat uniform, holding a snare drum issued by the military in his hand, and the frown on his face almost materialized.

　　——He couldn’t help but sneeze.

　　God of the Universe, what the hell is this? A welcome party is a welcome party, why do new recruits who have been in the army for less than half a year have to perform a show?

　　Do you think they are clowns who can be fooled? !

　　During the training, Leslie, who was in the same group, poked his arm sympathetically and said, “Hey, look at it more positively. The duty of a logistics soldier is to boost the morale of the combat soldiers…”

　　Joshua looked down at the small golden leather drum with a diameter of 20 centimeters in his hand and was not comforted at all.

　　Leslie also felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, and said with difficulty: “Just pretend that it is a war drum from ancient times! The kind made of enemy skin!”

　　Joshua: “…” Are you serious?

　　The young crown prince thought about his companion’s words and silently shook his hands to get rid of the goose bumps that had just appeared on his head.

　　This is extremely difficult.

　　•=|=•

　　Not long after, a team of imperial soldiers in formal military uniforms marched into the shabby auditorium. The sound of their standard leather boots rubbing against the ground was much more eye-catching than the “welcome” shouted by the Governor of Shizukumi Star.

　　The mecha soldiers who had already taken their seats cheered unprecedentedly and applauded spontaneously.

　　The drummers who were like a backdrop on the stage also began to stir, and the whispering became more focused than ever before. The noise made Joshua narrow his eyes uncomfortably.

　　It’s not like we haven’t seen troops on loan before, so why are you making a fuss?

　　The blond boy tilted his head to the side, revealing a scary red birthmark beneath his bangs, and silently pricked up his ears.

　　”Look, there’s the ‘Desperate Sergeant.'”

　　”Which one?”

　　”The one with dark hair and the fairest skin!”

　　”Oh my God, I’m going to thank him in person later! He saved my brother in a small battle in the Kancha system last year! It was because of him that I decided to become a mecha soldier!”

　　”Damn it, Sean, keep your voice down, someone’s watching!”

　　”S-Sorry…”

　　Joshua heard the recruits’ whispers clearly, and with a hint of mockery in his eyes, he glanced in the direction of the man a few more times.

　　Haha, completely blocked.

　　But it doesn’t matter.

　　He had heard about the deeds of the “Sergeant Who Never Despaired of Death”, how he bravely rescued the wounded on the battlefield, how he single-handedly wiped out an entire battalion of the House Empire, how he held the enemy at bay with one man…

　　After all, the other party is only 19 years old this year. Even if he is a powerful Alpha, he is still a young boy just starting out.

　　In the eyes of the young crown prince, the several heroic deeds performed by the other side on the battlefield so far were nothing more than a manifestation of lack of strategy and there was nothing worthy of admiration in them.

　　He couldn’t stand reckless men and stupid women.

　　•=|=•

　　So Joshua, who was 1.64 meters tall, stood on tiptoe pretending to be calm, and through the gap between the two Alphas’ bodies, he barely caught a glimpse of the tall, thin and strong figure of the black-haired young man in the distance.

　　The young man happened to look up and gave the younger generations on the stage a bright and friendly smile, his eyes deep and dark.

　　——Those were a pair of dark eyes, and the light they reflected was like stars in the dark night.

　　”……”

　　Joshua stared blankly for a while, then couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was quite inconsistent with his expression.

　　This reckless young man actually looks good.

　　It’s very good.

　　It turned out that not all black-haired guys are disgusting… Joshua thought in a daze.

　　It was not until his sore calves stopped him from continuing to giggle and his vision returned to the backs of the heads of the Alphas in the front row, all in different colors, that Joshua calmly raised his hand to wipe away the scary, foolish smile on his face, his cheeks faintly red.

　　——Shame, this is a shame!

　　Joshua Gustav, the future heir of the empire, was actually obsessed with an Alpha?!

　　Leslie fearlessly hugged Joshua’s arm and said, “Joe, I really hope I can become a person like that in the future! It’s like, just one look can give people strength – do you know that feeling?!”

　　Joshua was still immersed in the mess. He snorted and said vaguely, “Do you want to be a useless sergeant for the rest of your life?”

　　This was a bit extreme. Leslie was unhappy, pouting and muttering, “I would like to be a sergeant for life like Mr. Glenn…”

　　Joshua did not argue again.

　　The man with black hair and black eyes was like a natural magnet. As long as he stood there, the air around him would flow around him and everyone’s eyes would stop for him.

　　But how could someone smile so warmly and brightly?

　　It’s as if he has never been through hardship, never faced pain, and never had his back broken…

　　Joshua’s heart sank slightly. He suddenly remembered Johnson’s profound advice before he left:

　　”You have to look for a person like you look for gold in the sea of sand. His appearance, voice, smile, tears, all of them will make your soul tremble.”

　　”If you find him, let him know your name.”

　　•=|=•

　　Joshua suddenly took the initiative to pull Leslie’s sleeve that was stained with vegetable soup: “Hey…what did you say his name was just now?”

　　Glen? Green? Gesang?

　　Leslie was still angry, his green eyes widened like a cat, and he said fiercely: “I won’t tell you!”

　　Joshua: “…”

　　Dear comrade Leslie, are you really eighteen years old?

　　•=|=•

　　In this world, when you really care about someone, there are always ways to get news about that person. This is a double test of intelligence and patience.

　　Rumor has it that the potential of Joshua, the Regent of Fran, in data collection and analysis seemed to have been stimulated by the inexplicable attribute of “chasing stars”.

　　But this was just a rumor secretly spread by Imperial Captain Leslie, and the Regent himself did not admit it.

　　•=|=•

　　After discovering that his friend had really become his idol’s new die-hard fan, the 18-year-old Leslie generously forgave Joshua and shared the latest gossip about his idol with him.

　　For example: “You know, Joe, I heard that my boyfriend’s favorite dish is vegetarian mixed egg white salad.”

　　”OK.”

　　Another example: “I heard that the male god would sneak out to have a picnic outside the movie emperor after training every day.”

　　”……”

　　Joshua slowly put down his pen, his expression cold.

　　”So do you think he likes the vegetarian mixed egg white salad in the cafeteria, or does he have to eat the vegetarian mixed egg white salad every day when he goes out to hunt game?”

　　Leslie: “Yeah, I haven’t thought about that possibility!”

　　Joshua asked Leslie to leave the dormitory and calmly closed the door.

　　Leslie: “…”

　　Are you throwing me away after using it?

　　The blue-eyed boy decided to leave in anger.

　　Just as he finished the “brush” part of this difficult move, the simple metal security door in front of him suddenly opened, revealing Joshua’s ordinary face with a horrible red birthmark.

　　Joshua’s lips moved, and it looked like he wanted to apologize!

　　Leslie regained his trust in his friend, raised his head excitedly, and saw the brown eyes flashing with entanglement, regret, shyness and other emotions…

　　Then Joshua said – “Wait…what’s the name of the male god?”

　　•=|=•

　　Leslie was hurt.

　　Leslie refused to answer the question.

　　He performed the “walk away” with a sad face, leaving Joshua with a lonely and proud back.

　　Joshua sighed regretfully: Alas, it was thrown away too early.
