SGT CH162: Extra

The Prince did not intend to marry him.

This was within Aix’s expectations.

He had never thought about marrying the Prince either.

The Prince had his own family Zergs.

His Male Father was the Zerg Emperor, his Female Father was the Imperial Marshal, and his younger brother was an outstanding military female prince.

They were the most noble family in the entire Zerg Empire.

The Prince lived a very happy life.

He shouldn’t disturb the other’s life.

Since it was inconvenient for the Prince to say it, let him say it.

Aix spoke up: “I have no plans to marry.”

Huh?

The Zerg Emperor and the Marshal exchanged glances and looked at the Prince together.

—So it’s unrequited love on your part?

Mousse’s face flushed instantly, angry enough to want to kill a Zerg.

[How dare Aix?!]

[Preposterous!]

[He actually dared to reject me!]

[Detestable!]

[Annoying female Zerg…]

Mousse had to try hard to endure, not showing his lack of composure in front of his parents.

He had just finished his physiological awakening, a time when he was most dependent on his guide.

He thought Aix would stay by his side this time.

They had experienced such intimate entanglement, Aix had been deeply marked by him and could never get rid of him.

But unexpectedly, he was abandoned again.

[Detestable Aix.]

Always like this.

Once he lost value, he would be discarded.

Aix didn’t need him to detoxify the drug anymore, so he didn’t want him anymore.

[I won’t let you off.]

Mousse stared at Aix, his eyes red with anger.

Aix was at a loss, not knowing how to react.

The Prince didn’t want to marry him, but wouldn’t accept his refusal either.

He forgot that a female Zerg actively refusing marriage with a male Zerg would make the male lose face.

Aix tried to remedy the situation.

“My, my relationship with the Prince is not what everyone thinks. We just… helped each other, each taking what we needed. The Prince helped me through my estrus, and I took care of the Prince through his physiological awakening.”

[Helped each other.]

[Each taking what we needed.]

[Heh.]

[Heh.]

[Don’t let me find a chance, I will definitely torment you to death.]

Aix was dumbfounded.

He knew the Prince didn’t like him, but he didn’t expect… such hatred.

He had just been deeply marked. Influenced by the male Zerg’s mark and the trace of familiarity on the Prince, Aix couldn’t help but feel sad about this.

Shian looked at this one, then that one, feeling the situation was more complicated than imagined and very difficult to handle.

The Zerg Emperor was relatively obtuse about feelings. Seeing Lieutenant General Aix refuse, he felt it shouldn’t be forced, so he said:

“Lieutenant General Aix, regardless of the reason, thank you very much for your guidance and care for the Prince. Just ask for whatever you need. As long as it is within my power and does not violate public order and morals, I will do my best to satisfy it.”

The Zerg Emperor spoke very generously, but Aix didn’t want anything.

He took care of the Prince through physiological awakening not to gain anything.

Just because the Prince needed him at the time.

Moreover, the Prince was still staring at him deathly.

As if daring him to ask for anything, the Prince would pounce and tear him apart.

Although… with the male Zerg’s fair and tender fingers that couldn’t transform, he probably couldn’t tear him apart.

“Thank you for Your Majesty’s kindness, I don’t need anything.” Aix bowed.

[Heh.]

[Pretending.]

Although rejected, the Zerg Emperor didn’t dismiss the idea of giving gifts.

The other party helped their cub so much; it would be unjustifiable not to give any thank-you gift.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, the Zerg Emperor allocated a resource planet to Aix.

Such a resource planet, even a high-ranking officer would have to struggle for half a lifetime to barely save up for. It was a very generous thank-you gift.

It also made up for Lieutenant General Aix’s lack of accumulation due to his background.

Lieutenant General Aix could rely on this resource planet and his position in the military to attract decent high-level male Zergs in the future.

The Zerg Emperor felt his arrangement was very suitable.

Shian, who was more sensitive to emotions, wanted to say something but stopped.

But it wasn’t good to interrupt his male lord’s interest in giving large rewards, so he silently swallowed the words on his lips.

The Zerg Emperor gave it forcefully, and that planet was transferred to Aix’s name. Aix didn’t even have a chance to refuse.

Seeing this, Mousse almost died of anger on the spot.

[Detestable female Zerg.]

[Is this all your vision amounts to?]

[Is choosing me not better than that broken planet?]

[Do you know what you missed?]

“…” Aix lowered his head silently.

It wasn’t that he didn’t choose the Prince.

But that he never had the chance to choose the Prince.

The Prince was the cub of the Zerg Emperor and the Marshal, the noble Imperial Crown Prince.

Not some “little male raised by a hunter female Zerg in the Dark Star Domain.”

The Prince had a better future.

In the end, Aix didn’t remember how he left the Prince’s Mansion.

He only remembered the Prince’s resentment-filled gaze following him deathly.

[Detestable female Zerg.]

The Prince was raised too well by the Zerg Emperor and the Marshal. He couldn’t even find truly insulting words to curse Zergs, using one sentence over and over again.

Sounding like acting coquettishly.

Making it impossible for a Zerg to be angry with him.

Instead, making one want to hug him.

But that wasn’t what he should think about.

Returning to his residence, Aix immediately opened his terminal and started searching for information related to the Prince.

The royal family’s protection measures for underage Zergs were very good. There was very little information about the Prince on the Star Network, and images were pitifully scarce, mostly blurry long shots.

But Aix still saw the shadow of the little male in the long shots of the Prince’s teenage years.

According to information on the Star Network, the Prince had never gone missing or been lost in his childhood.

But connecting it to the fact that the one who led troops to recover the Dark Star Domain was the Prince’s Female Father—Marshal Shian, it was easy to judge that this was intentional concealment by the royal family, a means to protect the Prince.

If Aix only had thirty percent suspicion that the Prince was the little male before.

At this moment, this possibility increased to eighty percent.

Aix sat blankly at the desk, looking at the few blurry images on the terminal, looking dazed.

He seemed to have found his little male.

Yet seemed to have lost his little male forever.

At least, the Prince would live very well under the protection of the Zerg Emperor and the Marshal.

Better than following him.

Aix buried his head, supporting it with both hands.

Many scenes flashed through his mind.

There were the past times with the little male, and also the Prince’s disgusted gaze and thoughts towards him.

The Prince detested him.

Indeed, no one would like such a terrible past, right?

The beautiful memories in his eyes might not be so for the Prince.

A little male born into wealth drifting into such a harsh environment. Not even having his own room, having to live with another female Zerg. Not eating well, not sleeping well.

The Prince must have been terrified.

After being taken back by his family Zergs, he was unwilling to recall that past anymore.

Also detesting him who belonged to that past.

Refusing even to acknowledge him.

The Prince’s detest for him hit Aix too hard.

He didn’t even have time to think about the fact that he had done it with the little male and had his gestational sac filled by the little male.

The terminal lit up, a message notification from the military.

He had been accompanying the Prince through physiological awakening this week and failed to report to the Imperial Capital Military Department.

Even because the Prince clung to him so tightly and his brain was occupied by the Prince’s pheromones, he even forgot to ask for leave.

Supporting his throbbing head, Aix clicked open the message.

Only to find that the Marshal had arranged a vacation for him a week ago.

Return time indefinite.

This meant it was up to him to decide.

Aix thought for a while and set the time for the day after tomorrow.

His current state was too terrible, not suitable for going to the military. He needed to rest for a while to adjust his state.

And… the smell of the Prince’s pheromones on him was too strong.

As if completely marinated by the Prince’s pheromones.

The external contamination could barely be washed off, but what was in the gestational sac could only wait to be absorbed naturally.

Aix lay on the bed, his hand stroking his abdomen radiating warmth, always feeling he forgot something.

His brain was in chaos, unable to remember anything.

·

After lying down for a day and two nights, the lingering rich pheromones finally faded.

Even if a Zerg smelled a faint residual fragrance, they would only guess he had close contact with some male Zerg, and wouldn’t link it to the Prince.

Aix propped himself up, drank two tubes of nutrient solution to replenish energy, took a shower in the bathroom to clean himself up, and then went out to the military.

As soon as he entered the military, Aix found the atmosphere in the military exceptionally different today.

Every military female had cleaned themselves up brightly and beautifully, eyes burning, expressions almost fanatical.

“What’s wrong with them?”

Aix was confused.

If not for the ban on psychotropic drugs in the military, Aix would suspect this group of military females took drugs collectively.

“Don’t you know yet?”

The adjutant following beside him said, also full of anticipation:

“His Highness the Prince has come of age!”

No Zerg knew better than him.

Aix’s hand subconsciously covered his abdomen.

Even though a long time had passed, he could still faintly feel fullness.

“But what does the Prince coming of age have to do with this?”

Aix was still puzzled.

“Adult princes need to enter the military for service!”

Aix was slightly stunned, then said:

“His Highness the Prince is a male Zerg.”

Male Zerg and military service were really hard to link together.

“Indeed, there was no precedent for male Zerg princes serving in the military before. Heard that this time it was His Highness the Prince who actively applied to enter the military for service, and His Majesty the Zerg Emperor granted it. And the service military region is right here in the Imperial Capital Military Department!”

Listening to the adjutant’s words, Aix was in a trance for a moment.

The Prince is coming to the Imperial Capital Military Department?

The adjutant’s words were still coming into his ears.

“…Don’t know which unit the Prince will choose. Heard the Marshal plans to choose a trusted officer to teach the Prince. The military generals are fighting tooth and nail for this. Pity Lieutenant General you weren’t here yesterday…”

Aix’s terminal vibrated, and a message from the Marshal popped up.

The Marshal gave him a new recruit file and asked him to pick up the Zerg.

What new recruit needed a First Army Lieutenant General to pick up?

Naturally only…

Aix clicked open the file and saw the Prince’s name.

Next to it was a half-body photo of the Prince wearing a military uniform.

In the photo, the Prince looked cold and arrogant, his eyes sharp enough to kill a Zerg.

Then, the Marshal sent an address.

It was the dormitory arranged for the Prince.

…Right next to his officer’s dormitory.

The Marshal’s intention to matchmake almost seeped through the screen.

But Aix still found it hard to believe.

Probably because he was the Prince’s guide, the Marshal hoped he could take care of the Prince.

“Sir, what are you looking at?”

The military terminal screens had anti-peeping settings, so the adjutant couldn’t see the content displayed on the screen.

“I… I’m going to pick up a Zerg.”

Aix glanced at the new recruit reporting time displayed on the screen, hurriedly closed the screen, and turned to walk towards the military gate.

“Ah? Pick up who?”

A Zerg worthy of a Lieutenant General picking up, is it an inspection from above?

The adjutant wondered why he didn’t receive a notification.

“The Prince.”

“?!!”

When Aix arrived, Mousse had been waiting in the open square outside the military gate for a long time.

Seeing him, Mousse’s eyes blazed with anger.

“You’re late!”

Actually, the Prince arrived early.

But Aix wouldn’t argue with the Prince on such matters, apologizing decisively:

“Sorry.”

Gaze falling on the Prince’s skin reddened by the sun, Aix paused, walked to the Prince’s right side to shield him from the scorching sun, and took over the luggage by his side.

Because items entering the military needed to be carefully checked, new recruits couldn’t bring luggage in using storage bracelets, only in this old-fashioned way.

Actually, the suitcase also had compressed space technology, just different from storage bracelets, smaller inside, not encrypted, and easier to scan and judge.

As soon as he took the luggage, Aix noticed something wrong.

The wheels of the suitcase were broken.

And broken quite severely, the kind that fell off and were missing directly.

[Discovered it?]

[Didn’t you want to help me carry luggage? Carry it then.]

Mousse stood aside with arms crossed.

Aix immediately realized. Of course, a top noble like the Prince couldn’t have a broken suitcase.

It was the Prince who got annoyed waiting and dismantled the wheels himself.

Just to torture him.

Perhaps, the Prince even refused many military females who wanted to help him carry luggage for this reason.

Of course, Aix didn’t think this counted as torture.

A male Zerg’s way of revenge was like a cub baring fangs and brandishing claws, biting with all strength but unable to even break the skin.

Instead making the Zerg worry about wearing down his milk teeth.

Aix put away the pull rod directly and lifted the suitcase.

A compressed suitcase half a Zerg high, enough to hold half a male Zerg’s home inside.

But for Aix, it was actually no different from the weight of a bottle of water.

If the Prince wanted to see, he could even perform lifting it with one finger for the Prince.

But the Prince obviously didn’t want to see.

[Detestable female Zerg.]

[So what if you’re strong.]

[Why don’t you pick me up too?]

Aix stumbled and almost fell flat.

“Eh?!”

Mousse hurriedly helped hold the suitcase, complaining:

“Don’t force it if you can’t lift it! Why showing off?!”
