120. The Gay Little Prince, Part 9


"Colonel, there’s a problem!" A mech soldier of the First Corps ran into the main control room and spoke to Ludwig.

After the spaceship of the First Corps landed at the capital star, Ludwig immediately contacted the military department to report a few things and had just finished his work now.
　　
Ludwig was packing up his things and about to go find Gary when he was informed that there was a problem. He frowned, "What happened? If it’s not serious, you just let Archie deal with it. I have something to do."
　　
It was said that their family and the imperial family used to be very close, but since his father’s mother plotted an imperial kidnapping case, their family and the imperial family were no longer close, to the extent that he could not follow Gary to Gary’s house and could only think of a way to be welcomed to visit by Gary’s family before he could go meet the other party.
　　
"Colonel, it's your business . . . . You go check the star network, okay. Now everyone’s saying that Gary’s shameless." The mech soldier said.
　　
In fact, there were also people in the First Corps who were dissatisfied with Gary. They felt that Gary was undeserving of Ludwig treating him so well . . . . However, Gary had helped him repair his mech, so he was full of goodwill towards Gary.
　　
Although Gary was not as good as Ludwig, he was also not bad, ah. Not only was he strong, he could repair mechs too!
　　
"What?" Hearing that the matter was related to Gary, Ludwig was highly attentive at once.
　　
"There’s a group of reporters surrounding Gary outside." The mech soldier said again.
　　
"I'll take a look!" Ludwig ran out without hesitation.
　　
At this moment, Gary, who was almost angered by the reporters, was smiling. "I won't admit things I haven't done. Haven't you already called the police? Then wait for the police to come to process these things!"
　　
"Mr. Gary, are you and Colonel Ludwig really lovers? How did you make Colonel Ludwig like you?" There was a reporter holding a microphone asking Gary questions, and the microphone was about to hit Gary's nose!
　　
Ludwig saw this scene as soon as he came out, and he promptly rushed forward to pull Gary behind him and questioned the reporters, "What do you think you’re doing?!"
　　
"Colonel Mund!"
　　
"Colonel Ludwig!" The reporters were very excited when they saw Ludwig. They were still thinking that the sex scandal between Gary and Ludwig might be fake and did not expect Ludwig to appear in a blink of an eye and even make a protective gesture towards Gary.
　　
Ludwig really had a relationship with this Gary?
　　
"Colonel Mund, may I ask if you and Major Gary are in a romantic relationship?"
　　
"Colonel Mund, are you aware of Major Gary’s true colors?"
　　
"Excuse me, what do you think of Major Gary's attempt to kill a sub-beastman? The military department hasn’t disciplined Major Gary. Does it have something to do with you?"
　　
. . . . . .
　
Thanks to Emir, everyone now had seen the video of Gary trying to "kill" Emir, and they all disliked Gary even more.
　　
"Nonsense! With Gary's strength, wanting to kill a sub-beastman amidst the marching ants is simply too easy. What’s the use for him to be so bothersome and even leave a handle?" Ludwig said coldly. "You’re slandering him! I’ll hold you accountable!"
　　
When Gary said so before, these reporters did not take it seriously at all, but Ludwig saying so actually made them much more restrained. After all, if they really provoked the anger of the two dukes behind Ludwig, they were afraid that they would have to take the consequences.
　　
"If you have any questions, someone will explain to you in a moment. I’ll also have someone post the surveillance video of that time online. When the moment comes, I believe that the mud thrown at Gary will definitely be washed clean. As for now, please let me through. I have to go!" Ludwig added. He made a gesture, and several men immediately came up and surrounded him and Gary and then led them out.
　　
Gary finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time and had time to pay attention to things around him.
　　
Emir and a few of Green's subordinates were being surrounded by several reporters at the moment and probably talking bad things about him. And Green was actually nearby.
　　
Green kept saying that he loved him and wanted his forgiveness. Yet at this moment, he stood so far away, unwilling to help him to explain.
　　
Gary's eyes were full of irony, and when their gazes met, Green moved his line of sight away a little embarrassedly. He originally wanted to help Gary to explain just now, but he soon reasoned that if Gary ran into troubles, Ludwig might not want to be with him, and he could pursue Gary again, so he hesitated.
　　
This hesitation made it already too late for him, even if he wanted to go over.
　　
Green was feeling a little regretful when he suddenly heard a very familiar voice. He raised his head and unexpectedly saw his father and mother come together.
　　
As soon as his father and mother came, they went straight to Gary, and his mother shouted, "Gary, you bastard, relying on my son to become a major and swindling my son’s money, and now you want to run away? How can there be such a thing as a free lunch?"
　　
Gary had met Green’s parents once. At that time, these two people were very unfriendly to him. He did not want to look at their faces, so he quickly found a reason to leave and had never seen them again afterwards. He did not expect to actually see them again today.
　　
"You give me a little respect!" Ludwig once again stood guard in front of Gary.
　　
"Colonel Mund, don't be deceived by this man! He’s a beastman who entangles other beastmen all day long. He’s not a good person at all." Green's father also spoke. His appearance was quite dignified, and he also made no secret of his contempt for Gary.
　　
"When did Gary entangle others? And it’s even more unlikely for him to swindle money. It’s obviously your son who gave Gary money to repair the mech. How did it become Gary swindling money?" Ludwig was already angry and also felt very sorry for Gary. What kind of family Gary had run into, ah! If he had known earlier that this Green was so unbearable, he would have already . . . . Well, he could not do anything at that time . . . .
　　
Ludwig was extremely depressed. Green's parents, however, did not believe his words at all.
　　
Their son did very well in the military. As a result, most of his money was given to Gary, which had long made them dissatisfied. "It requires so much money to repair a mech? This is just an excuse!"
　　
"Father, Gary really helped me repair my mech." Green stood up this time. His parents actually showed up . . . . If this continued, Gary would really never forgive him!
　　
"Where’s the mech?" Green's father asked.
　　
Gary and Ludwig turned towards Green when they heard the words. After they explained it clearly back then, they returned Green's old mech to him—they certainly didn’t want to keep other people's things!
　　
Green's face turned white. The mech was taken away by Emir! Everything today was planned by Emir; he was well aware of this fact. And since his old mech had been taken away by Emir, it must have been dealt with by him.
　　
Emir was doing his utmost to discredit Gary.
　　
"We’ll take this to court and sue you for compensation." Green's father said to Gary again.
　　
"You want compensation from my son? Why?" A clear and bright voice rang out. Everyone looked over and found a sub-beastman wearing big sunglasses approaching.
　　
This sub-beastman said "my son" . . . . He was Gary's mother? Those reporters were increasingly looking forward to the follow-up after seeing this development.
　　
"What the heck is the matter with my son?" Shu Shu looked at the people around him with puzzlement across his whole face, a little confused about the current situation. He gaily came to welcome his son but found that his son was being surrounded by people . . . . What the hell was going on?
　　
"Don't you know what your own son has done? He swindled my son's money!" Green's father said. "Also, how the hell did you educate your child? Don’t you care that he likes beastmen?"
　　
Getting criticized made Shu Shu stupid. Since he came to the Beastman Empire, except for experiencing one kidnapping, his life had been smooth sailing. Edgar doted on him very much, to the extent that he had never been criticized like this.

Glancing at Gary blankly, Shu Shu could not help but say, "What's wrong with my son liking beastmen? Why should I care?" He himself also liked beastmen, ah.
　　
"It turned out to be an upbringing problem! Your family only entangled my son because you saw that he has future prospects, right? Now that there’s a better target, you dumped my son? I’m eager for your son to break up with my son, but your son must return the money taken from my son." Green's father was very rude to Shu Shu. Since Gary appeared, Green had been unwilling to listen to his words, so he not only had opinions about Gary but also about Gary's family.
　　
"How much money did my son take from your son?" Shu Shu subconsciously asked.
　　
"I have the remittance record . . ."
　　
"Father!" Green added, "Don't do this!"
　　
"I'm doing this for your own good, Green." Green's father glanced at his son and then turned to face Shu Shu again. "You'd better make a decision quickly. Don't wait for the Duke of Mund to come and give you troubles."
　　
Like Emir, Green’s parents also thought that the Duke of Mund would definitely not approve of his son being with Gary. It was precisely because of this that they took the risk of offending Ludwig and came to trouble Gary after Emir had contacted them.
　　
Of course, he also did this to make Gary have no chance to climb up Ludwig . . . . They treated Gary really badly at that time. If Ludwig and Gary were allowed to be together, Gary would probably get them into trouble in the future!
　　
And this was also the idea of ​​Emir and the mech soldiers around Green. They all were keen for Gary to be with Ludwig, yet now . . . they did not believe that the Duke of Mund would allow his son to be with such a beastman.
　　
"Gary, are you short of money?" Shu Shu turned towards his son. He was very generous to his son, ah, and Edgar was even more generous to Gary. Gary always had too much money to spend; not having enough money to spend never happened to him, okay?
　　
"No." Gary opened his mouth. Watching his mother's outward appearance in this situation, he was a little envious. He also wanted a partner who would always protect him so that he could always remain pure. Lifting his head, he unconsciously glanced at Ludwig and then said, "I'm helping him repair his mech!"
　　
"You heard it. My son only took the money for helping to repair the mech." Shu Shu said to Green's father.
　　
Green's father snorted disdainfully. Gary, however, spoke again at this moment, "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense. How could I fall for such a beastman? He’s not even worthy of carrying my shoes; saying that I rely on him to support me and that I take his money is even more laughable. His little bit of money isn’t even enough for me to shop casually.”
　　
Gary’s words could be said to be harsh. Shu Shu was a bit stunned hearing it. Although he did not fully understand the current situation, he knew that his son had always liked that beastman named Green.
　　
Yet now his son said he did not like that man. Anyway, it did not matter if he did not like that man . . . . Edgar had had several in depth conversations with Gary about Gary’s relationship problems, but he was not overly concerned about it. From the beginning, his approach was to completely not interfere with whatever Gary wanted to do.

Shu Shu was just a bit stunned, but Green's parents were very angry. What did this Gary mean? What was wrong with their son?
　　
"You’ve climbed up Colonel Mund now and so don't look at our son anymore, right? Humph, do you think the Duke of Mund may let you enter their door?" Green's mother said with a sneer.
　　
"If Gary wishes to, I’m willing to let Ludwig enter his family’s door." Calvin, who hurriedly rushed over after receiving his son’s message and happened to hear Green's mother’s words, at once said.
　　
His son was determined to like Gary and most likely would not change in this lifetime. Although he was not happy, he could not stop him either. After all, he had experienced such a painful feeling of unrequited love.
　　
Back then, he had planned not to marry for the rest of his life, but later Myer was willing to accept him, which was simply a dream come true for him!
　　
Calvin saw Shu Shu standing on the side as soon as he finished speaking, and his face immediately showed a guilty expression. His own son coveted others' son, which made him feel even guiltier towards Edgar and Shu Shu.
　　
Meanwhile, the surrounding people and the reporters who saw Calvin appear and heard Calvin's words were startled. The Duke of Mund agreed to Ludwig and Gary together? Did he know all the things Gary had done? Also, Gary would say those words because he knew the Duke of Mund’s attitude?
　　
"Mother, take off your sunglasses." Gary suddenly turned towards Shu Shu.
　　
"Oh . . ." Shu Shu took off his particularly big sunglasses and asked confusedly, "Gary, what's going on with you and Ludwig, ah? Are you in love?" As he spoke, he glanced at Ludwig guiltily. At that time, Myer gave him a lot of money to treat Ludwig. As a result, he had not treated him yet, and Gary already fed Ludwig a bunch of things, which Ludwig basically couldn’t eat at that time, and nearly killed Ludwig . . . . Although he later rescued Ludwig, it still made him feel a little guilty towards Ludwig.
　　
"No, he's chasing me. I haven't agreed yet." Gary said and glanced at the people around him.
　　
At this moment, all the people around him had been petrified, and they were all staring at Shu Shu fixedly.
　　
Shu Shu rarely appeared in public in recent years, but his face was still very recognizable. This was the empress, ah! The empress who could earn billions of money just by making a move casually!
　　
This sub-beastman turned out to be the empress. Then Gary . . . .
　　
It seemed that the imperial family had a little prince whom had never shown his face?

119. The Gay Little Prince, Part 8


"Mr. Gary, why would you hit a sub-beastman?"

"Mr. Gary, we received an inside story saying that you’ve seduced Colonel Mund on the spaceship. Is this true?"
　　
"Mr. Gary, I heard that you’ve abandoned your own lover so you could be with Colonel Mund. What do you think about this?"
　　
"Mr. Gary, as a beastman, you’ve been entangled with other beastmen. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?"
　　
. . . . .

Many reporters surrounded Gary like a group of sharks sniffing the smell of blood, not letting Gary go. At the same time, various kinds of sharp questions were thrown by them, almost all of which were unfavorable to Gary.

Gary did not need to think long and realized right away that someone must have done something. His face became gloomy at once. "Get out of the way!"
　　
After Fred grew up, regardless of character or appearance, it was precisely the same as Edgar, but Gary was more like Shu Shu.
　　
He had no ambitions, was amiable, and easy to get along with. He did not like to fight and kill or deal with overly complicated things. He always devoted himself wholeheartedly to research and food, to the extent that he appeared to be naive and easy to be bullied on the whole.
　　
But he was really not easy to be bullied.
　　
Back then, after breaking out from the marching ant encirclement and going away, he had exploded and directly beaten Green up. And now, with an ugly expression on his face and the spiritual power on his body circulating endlessly, he showed an aura of not to be trifled with.
　　
There were beastmen as well sub-beastmen among the reporters, and at this moment, after hearing Gary say "get out of the way", they subconsciously took a step back, not daring to stare at Gary and question him incessantly like before.
　　
Josh was one of the people who fell back.
　　
He was a reporter of a web portal. Half an hour ago, their website suddenly received some information.
　　
This information concerned a beastman named Gary. According to the information, this beastman named Gary initially got entangled with a beastman named Green, thereby becoming a major in the Third Corps. Soon after, he hooked up with Colonel Mund and abandoned his former lover . . . .
　　
The information also contained a transfer record of the beastman named Green transferring money to Gary every month as well as a photo of Colonel Mund with the beastman named Gary.
　　
As soon as they saw this information, the people in their newspaper office were all excited.
　　
A beastman deceiving the feelings of others simply couldn’t be considered as a big news, but if this matter was connected to Ludwig, the situation was completely different!
　　
Who was Colonel Ludwig Mund? This was the son of two dukes who once had been the second “most eligible beastman” among sub-beastmen!
　　
This Colonel Mund was very outstanding but insulated from any sex scandal. Although he once said in public that he liked beastmen, no one had ever seen which beastman he got rather close with. Of course, no one had ever seen him get close with any sub-beastman either.
　　
Oh, there was a beastman whom he got close with. Someone once photographed him having dinner with Crown Prince Fred . . . . However, it was clearly impossible for the crown prince to be with him. Who did not know that the crown prince liked the crown princess?
　　
Now someone had exposed that Colonel Mund was with a beastman named Gary, which was indeed a super big news, ah! Especially since the beastman named Gary seemed to be a bad person . . . .
　　
The newspaper office people realized the value of this news almost immediately, and Josh hurried to the spaceship docking point without catching his breath. When he arrived at the spaceship docking point, he found that there were many of his colleagues here.
　　
Without a doubt, they all came here for the big news!
　　
After having a quick face to face with these people, they kept watch together outside, wanting to see whether the beastman named "Gary" really existed or not  . . . .
　　
This beastman named Gary did exist, and he came down from the spaceship soon after. The person himself was a little thinner than the one in the photo and did not look striking at all. Rather, his temperament was mild, making people difficult to believe that he was as unbearable as written in the information.
　　
As a result . . . just when they barely raised some doubts and were going to figure out the specific situation and then investigate in detail, they actually saw this beastman named Gary hit a sub-beastman!
　　
He, as a beastman, actually hit a sub-beastman! This guy was simply a disgrace to beastmen!
　　
In the Beastman Empire, even if two beastmen fought each other until the sky was dark, others would not care much and would only report it to the police at most. But if a beastman hit a sub-beastman . . . the beastmen around would definitely rush up immediately and beat up that beastman who hit a sub-beastman!
　　
These reporters were all angry. They had their own duties and did not go easy on anyone, so they opened the live video cameras and stepped forward to ask questions one after another .
　　
As a result, they had not even asked a few words, and they were actually intimidated by the majesty of this beastman and eventually began to retreat subconsciously . . . .
　　
Josh was a sub-beastman who did not feel humiliated, but several beastman reporters beside him already turned red in the face. One of the beastman reporters took a step forward and, gritting his teeth, continued to ask questions. "Mr. Gary, are you going to take action against the reporters?"
　　
With this beastman taking the lead, others also stepped forward in succession. "Mr. Gary, it’s said that you could get promoted in the Third Corps because of Lieutenant Colonel Green. Is this true?"
　　
"Mr. Gary, what’s the relationship between you and the sub-beastman you hit just now?"
　　
. . . . . .

Gary was not stupid. Seeing all these people, he realized right away that he was definitely calculated, and he did not need to think about the person who calculated him, which was definitely Emir.
　　
When he was on the spaceship, he had already made a clean break with Green and Emir. He thought these two people could no longer bring him trouble. He did not expect that Emir was actually still haunting him.
　　
Gary, frowning, turned his gaze towards Emir nearby and felt his mood worsen.
　　
Emir covered his mouth with his hand, but his eyes showed that he was pleased with himself.
　　
Back then on the spaceship, Ludwig had been standing at Gary’s side, calling Senior Brother Gary, and saying that his parents had already accepted him liking beastmen since long ago . . . .
　
But Emir did not believe it at all.

Duke of Mund and Duke of Grote only had Ludwig as a son. How could they approve of Ludwig being with a beastman?
　　
What's more, he knew a little secret information about Ludwig.
　　
His parents were quite rich and had some business dealings with the Duke of Grote. Several years ago, his parents had told him one thing—the current Duke of Mund had once thrown Ludwig, whom was only sixteen years old, to a remote planet, not in the least concerned!
　　
Duke of Mund and Duke of Grote only had this one child and had always doted on him very much. How could they suddenly banish him to a remote planet? His parents were very puzzled at that time, but later Ludwig said in public that he liked beastmen, and they guessed the whole thing.
　　
Because Ludwig liked beastmen, his parents threw the sixteen-year-old to a remote planet. And also because of it, Ludwig, who was just eighteen years old and had just returned from the remote planet, was sent into the military by his parents. They had also been giving him all kinds of very difficult missions to complete . . . .
　　
There was no doubt that Ludwig's parents were opposed to him and a beastman together. What Ludwig said on the spaceship at that time was probably a lie.
　　
The thing was, if Ludwig had really liked Gary all along, and his parents also weren’t opposed to it, why would Gary not be with Ludwig early on and entangle Green instead?
　　
Although he liked Green very much, he also had to admit that Green was nowhere near Ludwig.
　　
Gary had such a powerful mech, but he never took it out and used it. He was obviously Myer’s student, but he never told others about it, and they never saw him contact Myer . . . . Maybe because he had a guilty conscience, so he was afraid that Ludwig's parents would give him troubles!
　　
Him entangling Green before was definitely because he knew that it was impossible for Ludwig to be with him.
　　
The more Emir thought, the more he felt that this should be the case. He eventually exposed this matter to various media in the capital star.
　　
Seeing Gary surrounded by reporters, Emir's heart throbbed with pleasure.
　　
After today, Gary would surely become someone unanimously hated by everyone, and the Duke of Mund and the Duke of Grote would definitely loathe him more than everyone else.
　　
"Hello, can I interview you? Do you understand the matter between Mr. Gary and Colonel Mund? Why did he hit you?" There were too many reporters around Gary, so some reporters who could not squeeze in turned their sights and simply targeted Emir.
　　
Surrounded by reporters, Emir burst into tears all at once. "I . . . I don’t dare to talk."
　　
Seeing Emir cry and hearing Emir say that he did not dare to talk, those reporters began to question Emir even more eagerly.
　　
"Actually, I'm an admirer of Lieutenant Colonel Green. I’ve always liked Lieutenant Colonel Green very much." Emir suddenly said.
　　
These reporters had done their homework before they came. They found little news about Gary, but they found a lot of news about Lieutenant Colonel Green, who was involved in the sex scandal between Gary and Ludwig.
　　
The brave and good at fighting Lieutenant Colonel Green was a well-known figure among the young generation of the Third Corps. Frankly, they were quite surprised that such a man actually liked beastmen.
　　
And this sub-beastman in front of them turned out to be an admirer of Lieutenant Colonel Green . . . . So he was also involved in the messy relationship?
　　
"I like Lieutenant Colonel Green. After Major Gary found out, he arranged me to work in the worst cabin. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Green helped me, and he . . ." Emir took out a video copied from Green's aide-de-camp.
　　
The video was cut from a video recording of their fighting with the marching ants, which happened to shoot the scene of Gary "pushing" Emir.
　　
Although Gary had already explained this, and Will and others also stood on his side, the mech soldiers of the Third Corps did not actually acknowledge his explanation.
　　
Many of their comrades died, and they were also beaten up by Ludwig, completely losing their faces. How could they really put away their former hatred towards Gary? Not to mention that afterwards, Ludwig also restricted their movements on the spaceship; Gary and the maintenance staff ignored them, and Green still blamed them . . . . Even if some people had believed Gary and felt guilty for their behaviors towards Gary, all those emotions dissipated along with the passage of time, and now they hated and resented Gary even more.
　　
Gary obviously hid his own strength, which only made them look down on him. Why should they be blamed?
　　
Gary was so strong and a student of Master Myer to boot, yet he had not told them and never shown his own skills either, making them come out as such a major disgrace . . . . These people all supported Emir to teach Gary a lesson.
　　
The reporters all knew about the Empire’s Third Corps and First Corps’ encounter with the cosmic marching ants at the border, but they did not expect that there was actually someone who still plotted against a sub-beastman’s life in that kind of battle!
　　
The scene in the video looked like Gary was pushing Emir, but in fact, there were still other possibilities. But since the first impression was the strongest for most people, the nature of this matter had been decided.
　　
Emir was complaining tearfully about Gary’s conducts and deeds. On the other side, Gary said with a cold face, “These are all fictitious things!”
　　
Edgar and Fred faced all kinds of reporters all day long, and when they talked with the reporters, they always seemed to do it skillfully and easily. Shu Shu, however, could not do it. Gary, who had almost never been besieged by reporters, was even worse.

"You’re slandering me! I’ll let my lawyer send you a lawyer's letter!" Gary added.
　　
"Mr. Gary, are you sure this is slander?" Josh looked at Gary aggressively. He was obviously a beastman yet still asked another beastman to support him and give him money.
　　
"Mr. Gary, you hit a sub-beastman. I’ve already reported it to the police. The police will be here soon!" Another man said.
　　
Many of them had come for Ludwig's sex scandal. They wanted to know if Ludwig was really with the beastman named Gary. But now, what they cared about most was not this matter anymore.
　　
This beastman named Gary was really too vile. They had to expose his evil deeds and could not let Colonel Ludwig be deceived by him!
　　
These people were filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, many people on the star network had also seen the news here.
　　
"Colonel Mund’s sex scandal and lover are exposed?" After some people saw such a headline on certain news sites, they immediately clicked in. As a result, they saw many things that a beastman named "Gary" had done.
　　
This man was with Lieutenant Colonel Green not long ago. In a blink of an eye, he had entangled Colonel Mund? This was too shameless!
　　
"This is fake, right?"
　　
"How could Colonel Mund like such a beastman? If he’s going to like a beastman, he should like His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince!"
　　
"I also think it’s fake. Colonel Mund totally won’t like such a beastman, right?"
　　
"This Gary is so horrible! He actually hit a sub-beastman!"
　　
. . . . . .
　
On the star network, it did not take long for a group of people to start crusading against Gary.

118. The Gay Little Prince, Part 7


Gary naturally wouldn't run around indiscriminately on the spaceship of the First Corps, but he would go to find those maintenance engineers whom followed him before.

And it was this move that gave Green and Emir the opportunity to approach him.
　　
Green apologized over and over again, hoping to get his forgiveness, while Emir cried and pleaded, begging him not to harass Green again.
　　
It was really funny. When did he harass Green? Clearly, it was these two guys who came to harass him all day long.

Gary endured it insufferably for two days and then discovered that the two men disappeared from his side.
　　
Obviously, this was what Ludwig did . . . . Gary breathed a sigh of relief. In the following days, besides staying in Ludwig's room to rest, he went to find Will.

The spaceship belonging to the Third Corps had been eaten thoroughly by the marching ants, but they still managed to bring some things out. Gary and his subordinates worked together to repair all the things that could be repaired.　　
　　
In addition to this, some people from the First Corps came to him on account of his reputation, looking for him to repair their mechs. So he also lent a hand to repair their mechs. He liked to fiddle with various kinds of components since he was child, and he genuinely liked his job, so he did not feel bored at all.
　　
However, while he was willing to repair the mechs of the First Corps’ mech soldiers, he was not willing to help repair the Third Corps’ mechs. He was never the Holy Mother who returned good for evil. Before, although those people did not like him, they more or less didn’t show anything to his face, so he could not be bothered about it. But now both sides had shed all pretense of cordiality. If he still helped them with repair, he plainly cheapened himself.
　　
Because of this, people of the Third Corps, except for the maintenance staff, basically remained at a respectful distance from Gary, but he did not care about it either—he had made up his mind to leave the military and still cared about what these people did?
　　
On this day, Gary helped a mech engineer of the First Corps to repair a mech. During the repair, he still couldn't resist making some adjustments to others’ mechs.
　　
"Lieutenant Colonel Gary, you’re really great! My mech has never been so easy to use!" After that First Corps’ major tried his own mech, he looked at Gary with a blazing gaze. "Lieutenant Colonel Gary, you come to our White Tiger Force, okay? We’ll definitely give you the best treatment! We can also contribute our boss to work extremely hard for you."
　　
When this man first expressed gratitude, Gary was in a very good mood. Compared with the people of the Third Corps, these First Corps’ people who were not stingy with praises were really lovely.
　　
However, when he mentioned Ludwig, Gary could not help but frown. Recently, the First Corps’ people kept mentioning Ludwig in front of him.
　　
"There’s no shortage of people who work extremely hard for me." Gary turned to face that major and suddenly asked, "Also, who asked you to come?"
　　
The major touched his nose and ran away awkwardly.
　　
As the major left, Gary's brows furrowed tighter. He was aware of Ludwig’s thoughts, and it was exactly because of this that he had tried not to make contact with Ludwig as much as possible. Yet, many things still seemed to be unavoidable.
　　
While Gary was thinking so, he saw Ludwig.
　　
Ludwig, holding a meal box, ran toward Gary. He was obviously an extremely grave and stern man with a very imposing manner, but he became completely gentle after seeing Gary. "Gary, I asked the kitchen to make your favorite food."
　　
“Thanks. No need to trouble yourself like this later." Gary said.
　　
"No trouble, no trouble. I don't feel troubled at all!" Ludwig promptly replied.
　　
"Then you can go back." Gary sent Ludwig away.
　　
Ludwig did not dare to disobey Gary and could only leave in the end.
　　
"Gary, won't you consider it?" Will with his lame leg arrived at Gary’s side and asked in puzzlement.
　　
"I don't want to consider it for the time being." Gary sighed. He somewhat didn't know how to face Ludwig now.
　　
"Colonel Mund is very good to you." Will said again.
　　
Gary fell silent. "Did Green treat me badly before?" Things like delivering food and sending clothes that Ludwig did now, Green had often done the same and even more.

Will recalled the past things and immediately stopped talking.
　　
On the way back after the busy day was over, Green once again appeared in front of Gary.
　　
"Gary, are you with Ludwig?" Green stared at Gary, his eyes full of unwillingness. He had been watching the people of the First Corps these days. Not to mention that he was unable to approach Gary, he also learned from those people that Gary had been living in Ludwig’s place.
　
"What's that got to do with you?" Gary felt vexed already.
　　
"You’ve been living in his place these days. You’re together, right?" Green bit the bullet and said.
　　
Gary lifted his feet and walked away. He felt very, very miserable when he found out that Green had betrayed him, but after a few days, he was already much better. When he saw Green again, his mood would not fluctuate wildly.
　　
"Gary, do you think he’ll always be with you? My parents disagree with me and a beastman together. Will his parents agree?" Green suddenly said. "Duke Myer and Duke Calvin only have one child. Can they accept that their child will have no offspring?"
　　
Gary did not know whether Myer and Calvin could accept Ludwig with a beastman, and he never thought about it either. After all, he had never considered being with Ludwig. "So what?"
　　
"Gary, you won’t have a good result if you mix with Ludwig. His parents certainly won’t approve of him being with a beastman, and maybe they’ll even harm you. Gary, forgive me. We’ll be as good as before, okay? I swear, I’ll definitely convince my parents." Green promised.
　　
"Who said my parents would never agree to me being with a beastman?” Ludwig's voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, he ran towards Gary from the other end of the passageway and quickly arrived at Gary’s side, glaring at Green all along—this guy actually ran to Gary and planned to deceive his man; it was really too vile!
　
"My parents have long consented to me being with a beastman I like!" Ludwig reiterated once again while looking very carefully at Gary.
　　
Gary unconsciously turned toward Ludwig and happened to meet Ludwig's gaze, not missing the feelings inside.
　　
He knew that Ludwig should be telling the truth. This man would never deceive him. Moreover . . . Myer sometimes had a strange attitude towards him.
　　
He had known for a long time that Ludwig liked him, but he really didn't expect that Ludwig had even persuaded his parents. This was something Green had not been able to do before.
　　
"It's impossible!" Green did not believe it at all. "It's impossible for your parents to agree to you being with a beastman!"
　　
"My parents have long agreed." Ludwig stated affirmatively. Looking at Green, he sneered, " Do you think everyone is like you?"
　　
Green froze, and a feeling of defeat rose from the bottom of his heart.
　　
"Gary . . . I . . ." Ludwig suddenly realized that he had actually spoken something similar to a confession and immediately looked at Gary with some helplessness. He was always decisive in his work. He previously didn’t dare to confess to Gary mainly because Gary had Green at his side. If he had confessed, Gary would have definitely drawn a line with him. But Gary was single now.
　　
"Gary, I’ve always liked you. I’ve liked you for more than ten years!" Ludwig said out loud.
　　
Glancing at the dazed Green, Gary said to Ludwig, "Follow me."
　　
Gary actually didn't refuse or reprimand him! Ludwig was almost bubbling with happiness and then followed after Gary.
　　
Meanwhile, Green sat on the ground in desolation.
　　
"Green!" Emir appeared out of nowhere and looked at Green with tears streaming on his cheeks. "Are you going to abandon me?!"
　　
Green, seeing Emir crying incessantly, inexplicably felt a little fed up with him all of a sudden.
　　
He liked fighting and many thrilling activities. And it was exactly because of this that he would choose Gary instead of a sub-beastman back then. But later . . . . why did he go find a sub-beastman?
　　
Getting up from the ground, Green went back without giving Emir a glance.
　　
Behind him, Emir wiped his tears dry and couldn't help but gritted his teeth. "Gary . . . . It’s all Gary’s fault . . ."
　　
Gary took Ludwig back to the room that originally belonged to Ludwig but now belonged to him.
　　
The door broken by Ludwig had already been repaired, and Ludwig’s scent in this room had completely disappeared as well, leaving only Gary's own scent—he and his mother were the same; they never liked others’ scents on their own territories.
　　
"Ludwig, I can't accept you." Gary suddenly said. If he refused Ludwig in front of Green, not only would it make Ludwig embarrassed, but it might also raise Green’s hope again, so he brought Ludwig back to the room, intending to make it clear to Ludwig.
　　
"Is there something wrong with me, Gary? I can change it immediately."
　　
"You’re great, but I don't plan to start a new relationship right away." Gary said.
　　
"Is it just that? In other words, you’re willing to let me stay at your side?" The dejected expression on Ludwig's face was swept clean. "Gary, I've liked you for a long time. You don't have to like me. It’s okay as long as you’re willing to let me stay at your side."
　　
"I might never like you." Gary added.
　　
"I’ll try hard to make you like me!" Ludwig stated.
　　
Seeing Ludwig like this, Gary opened his mouth to speak but did not even know what else he could say.
　　
In the following days, Gary simply didn’t come out of the door of his room. Rather, he found some components and continued to study mechs.
　　
After fighting the marching ants with a mech, he had some new ideas, and now he urgently needed to inspect and verify them. Of course, there was another reason for him to do so, that was, to avoid Ludwig.
　　
He had just ended a relationship and did not want to start another relationship immediately. Moreover, that was unfair to Ludwig.
　　
Ludwig could not see Gary. In the end, he could only appear on the doorway of Gary's room from time to time and then steal a glance while the robot was delivering something to Gary.
　　
But even so, he was already perfectly satisfied. At least Gary was on his spaceship now, not on a different planet than he was like in the past.
　　
"Boss, you’re considered to be one of the most outstanding men among the younger generation of the Empire. Why does someone still look down on you?" The people around Ludwig who observed all this had some sympathy for Ludwig.
　　
"What do you know? Gary is much more outstanding than me!" Ludwig replied at once. Gary was too low-key, otherwise . . . he would have long become the most popular beastman in the Beastman Empire since he was smart and strong and also had the same innate ability in the medical field as the empress!
　　
Well, even if Gary was very low-key, he was still the most popular beastman in the Beastman Empire at present . . . .
　　
Ludwig sincerely felt this way, but his subordinates thought that he saw  Gary through a lover’s eyes. After all, although Gary was outstanding, he had not reached the level of being more outstanding than Ludwig.
　　
At least the somewhat chubby Gary was never as handsome as Ludwig.　　

"But Boss, this isn’t the way to go on, ah."
　　
"I also know that this isn’t the way to go on, but I can’t do anything about it, can I?" Ludwig was a little helpless and suddenly thought of something. "Can you help me think of a way?"
　　
"This . . . . The way of chasing after a sub-beastman is useless for chasing after a beastman, right?"
　　
"Yeah, we’ve only chased after sub-beastmen."
　　
"I’ve never even chased after sub-beastmen . . ."
　　
Ludwig's subordinates expressed themselves one after another.
　　
"Then, if there’s a beastman pursuing you stubbornly, what will you wish him to do?" Ludwig asked again.
　　
"If there’s a beastman pursuing me stubbornly, I’ll certainly beat him up until even his mother can’t recognize him!"
　　
"I'm not interested in beastmen!"
　　
"I'm determined not to be the one below . . . . Wait a minute! Boss, the man you like may accept a beastman, but he may not be able to accept being the one below. You’re too strong, Boss. Won’t he always disagree then?
　　
That Green was basically unable to defeat Gary and suitable to be the one below. Their boss was different though. Such a tall and big beastman . . . .
　　
Ludwig looked pensive.
　　
Ludwig had never thought about such a thing before, but now, having thought carefully about it, he realized that it was indeed a problem.
　　
When the robot delivered the meal for Gary today, Ludwig followed in, brazen-faced.
　　
Gary frowned. As he was about to drive Ludwig out, he found that the tall man before him was looking him in the eye, and his appearance was no different from that when he was a child.
　　
In the past, he would often be soft-hearted toward this kind of Ludwig, and then, regardless of how awkward the relationship between his own parents and Ludwig’s mother was, he would go to see Ludwig time and time again. This time, he also couldn’t help but be soft-hearted. "You have something on your mind?"
　　
“Gary, I can be the one below. I can do everything that sub-beastmen can do, and I can still learn too. You don't see me look tall, I . . ." Ludwig looked at Gary earnestly. Although every time he was dreaming, it was always him who pressed Gary to do this and that, but as long as Gary was willing to be with him, he absolutely didn’t mind being pressed by Gary!
　　
Gary: ". . ."
　　
Gary drove Ludwig out. After driving the man away, he could not help feeling funny as well as extremely embarrassed.
　　
He was used to the sight of the way his parents got along since he was a child. Essentially, regarding being the one above, he was more inclined to be the one below . . . . During the years he liked Green, his mother talked privately with him, and then he was even more disposed to be the one below.
　　
After all . . . according to his mother's words, it was easier to be the one below, and, as it should be by rights, he could still command his partner to do this and that . . . .
　　
What's more, he still wanted to give birth to an egg!
　　
However, in spite of thinking so, he had actually never shown anything in front of Green. Green never mentioned marriage with him, ultimately making him unable to fully open up when facing Green.
　　
Ludwig returned to the spaceship's main control room dispiritedly. The others saw his expression and could guess what had happened.
　　
"In fact, there’s a way that can prove one’s sincerity." Someone suddenly said.
　　
"What way?" Ludwig looked over.
　　
The man wanted to speak but was stopped by others. Yet even then, Ludwig already guessed what he had wanted to say.
　　
At dinner that day, Ludwig once again followed the robot into Gary's room.
　　
"What do you want to say?" Gary asked again.
　　
Ludwig took a few deep breaths, filling his lungs with Gary’s scent, and then spat out his own beast bead. "Gary, I’ve long wanted to give it to you . . ."
　　
Seeing the beast bead in Ludwig’s hand, Gary could not help but stare blankly.
　　
Until he grew this big, he had only seen Fred’s beast bead. At that time, having no beast bead, he was envious and really wanted to take a closer look, but Fred quickly put away his beast bead and said that it was to be given to his own wife and could not be seen more.
　　
Later, when Fred's wife grew to adulthood, Fred coaxed his wife to eat the bead bead. He never saw anyone else's beast bead after that.
　　
Green . . . had never shown him his beast bead and even always avoided mentioning this.
　　
"Gary, I’ll give it to you. You must believe me. I sincerely want to be with you. I won’t be with anyone else except you." Ludwig said again.
　　
"What if I don't want to give you my beast bead?" Gary abruptly asked.
　　
"It doesn’t matter." Ludwig said. He had long planned to give his beast bead to Gary, but he himself hadn't really had an extravagant hope that he could get Gary's beast bead . . . . Gary had been with Green for so long, and they might have already exchanged beast beads. If they had not exchanged . . . . Gary had not given Green his beast bead after ten years with Green. It was definitely impossible for Gary to give his beast bead to him all of a sudden, wasn’t it?
　　
Gary suddenly remembered an unexpected mishap that his parents had had before. His father once thought that his mother was a beastman, and, thinking that they were doomed to have no children, he gave his beast bead to his mother to play with and told others that he had lost his beast bead . . . .
　　
At that time, he was very touched and also wished that he could have such a partner. As a result . . . Green, whom he fell in love with, did not fulfill his wish, yet Ludwig did.
　　
"I know. You go out." Gary spoke.
　　
"The beast bead . . ." Ludwig, holding his beast bead up, said.
　　
"It’s used for proposing marriage. Don’t tell me that you want to save the pursuing and directly propose marriage?" Gary sneered.
　　
Ludwig was extremely disappointed but soon recalled—the meaning of Gary’s words seemed like . . . he could pursue Gary?
　　
Ludwig left Gary's room giddily. But when he tried to go in after the robot again, he found that Gary had refused the robot delivering him meals.
　　
"There’s enough food in my space button. No need to deliver me meals." Gary sent out such a message, and then he never opened the door again. He did not continue to study mechs though.
　　
His heart was initially in turmoil, and now it was even more unable to calm down.
　　
Gary suddenly discovered that he did not know how to face Ludwig . . . . He had not yet fallen in love with Ludwig, but he could not deny that his feelings for Ludwig had begun to change to some extent. He could not consider Ludwig as a younger brother any more.
　　
Why hadn’t the man he liked back then Ludwig? If that man had been Ludwig, they must have been very happy now.
　　
After shutting himself in the room, Gary's days were very peaceful, but such peaceful days did not last for long—the spaceship had reached the capital star!
　　
Military spaceships were able to block signals, and their spaceship had been blocking signals in order to maintain secrecy. Only after they were near to the capital star did they finally remove the blocking. The blocking was just removed, and Gary’s communication device started ringing incessantly with messages from his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and also his older brother and his older brother’s partner.
　　
The news of their encounter with the marching ants had been passed back. Although his close relatives had already gotten the news that he was not inconvenienced, they still didn’t feel reassured, so they would send so many messages.
　　
His mother even expressed that he would personally come to pick him up.
　　
Gary’s heart was warm seeing so many messages. Lying on the bed, he started to reply to each and every message.
　　
Meanwhile, at the stern of the spaceship, someone connected to the star network and began distributing some information to the media.
　　
After the spaceship was settled at the docking point, someone inspected the spaceship with a machine to ensure that it did not carry any alien and illegal goods. Once it was done, the people on the spaceship were finally allowed to go down.
　　
Gary did not want to squeeze with others, and the person who came to pick him up also said that he would wait for him. So he waited until most of the people had left before putting his stuff into the space button and then walking down the spaceship breezily.
　　
There were so many people packed in this spaceship, and it was noisy outside the spaceship. After looking around for four times, Gary took out his communication device and started to contact his mother, asking him to come find himself.
　　
As a result, his message had not yet been sent out, and someone suddenly rushed towards him. "Gary, I beg you to not entangle Green. You already have Colonel Mund, so let Green off, okay!"

Emir? This guy again? Seeing that Emir was going to hug him, Gary subconsciously lifted his foot and kicked Emir away.
　　
Emir fell to the ground, crying out in surprise, and started to weep bitterly. At the same time, some reporters ran out of nowhere and unexpectedly set about surrounding Gary.

117. The Gay Little Prince, Part 6


"I'm sorry, Gary. I . . ." Green did not know what to say. Facing Gary, whose gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, he only felt terribly cold all over.

"You don't need to show this expression. It's over between us." Gary said.
　　
"No, Gary, I love you!" Green blurted out.
　　
Did he love Gary? Of course he did. He would never forget how pleasant it had felt being with Gary.
　　
Gary was not a sub-beastman, but he was still madly in love with him and even took the initiative to pursue him. At that time, he sincerely believed that he would be with Gary forever.
　　
However, Gary was a beastman after all.
　　
When others sympathized with him for not having children and teased him for actually liking a beastman, and when a pretty sub-beastman was friendly to him, he, inevitably, would always become dissatisfied with Gary.
　　
Yet that dissatisfaction would vanish like smoke in thin air every time he saw Gary. After all, he really liked Gary very much.
　　
But even so, as he grew older, he became more and more sensible and clearly realized that he and Gary were unsuitable.
　　
His parents would never agree to him being with a beastman, and his promotion in the military might also be affected because he liked beastmen.
　　
Why wasn't Gary a sub-beastman?
　　
When Emir first confessed to him, he did not feel anything toward Emir and even told Gary about it with a smile. Later, he heard his subordinates say that Emir was targeted by Gary and arranged for the work unit in the lowest cabin, and he could not help but have some sympathy for Emir.
　　
Gary was a beastman; why did he still target a sub-beastman?
　　
When all was said and done, he did love Gary and did not want to break up with him. In the end, he just quietly transferred Emir to another position . . . . As a result, such an approach made Emir start to go near him the whole day.
　　
At that time, Gary was busy making mechs all day long and had no time to reply to the messages he had sent. He was bored, so every time he saw a message from Emir calling him "Elder Brother" appear on his communication device, he would often reply. Gradually, the more they chatted, the better his opinion on Emir was. Furthermore, driven by his beastman's nature, he could not help but want to protect Emir, a sub-beastman.
　　
When Emir fell ill and said that he felt very uncomfortable, he went to see Emir. After that, without him even realizing what was going on, he had already had a relationship with Emir.
　　
Sub-beastmen’s attractiveness for beastmen was really great. He had never been so excited like that when he was with Gary . . . .
　　
He knew that Gary was a rather conservative man, and he also knew that Gary wanted to be the one above. Thus, he was always quite restrained when he was with Gary. But with Emir, he did not need to worry and feel entangled about anything.
　　
He could vent himself as much as he liked on Emir’s body.
　　
In the following days, he and Emir were very close, and all this naturally couldn’t be concealed from his subordinates. Everyone advised him to break up with Gary and be with Emir, but he still hesitated and did not even dare to see Gary in the end.
　　
It was not until today when he saw Gary and Emir in conflict did he finally step forward. And everything that happened next was totally unexpected by him. Gary’s identity was completely beyond his expectations either.
　　
Gary naturally realized that Green had to love him, and he also loved Green. But even if there was love, he could not accept a compromise.
　　
Gary no longer paid attention to Green and walked directly into the spaceship. At this moment, Emir suddenly got up and stopped Gary with a deathly pale face.
　　
Not long ago, he thought he was the victor and got Green. Now though, Green showed his love for Gary but completely forgot him.
　　
Why? Gary was a beastman; why did he get Green's love?
　　
"Gary, you pushed me at that time. You’ll go to the military court for wanting to kill me!" Emir suddenly said. Back then, Gary saved the soldiers around him but was slow to save him. He started to worry, afraid that Gary would drop him. When Gary reached out to pull him, he was even more worried that Gary would throw him to the ants.
　　
It was right then that he saw Green return . . . . Needless to say, he shook off Gary's hand and expected Green to save him.
　　
However, Green and others seemed to think that Gary had pushed him at that point . . . .
　　
As soon as Emir's words came out, everyone on the scene went still.
　　
Immediately afterwards, Green's voice rang out, "Shut up, Emir! Gary didn't do it on purpose. I apologize to you on behalf of him. Since you're fine, let's just forget about it, okay?"
　　
"Green!" Emir stared at Green in disbelief. Green believed that Gary had pushed him and wanted to harm him, yet he still helped Gary apologize under these circumstances? Green really liked Gary so much and did not like him?
　　
He had invested so much in order to be with Green.

Emir felt deeply hurt by what Green had done. Gary, however, felt a little funny. He had not done such things at all; why did Green apologize for him? Green thought he was a man who would harm a sub-beastman because of a love affair?
　　
How did he like such a person at that time?
　　
"Go sue if you want to sue; I'll be waiting!" Gary dropped a sentence, no longer willing to pay attention to these two people.
　　
"How could Senior Brother Gary harm a sub-beastman like that? It's so ridiculous!" Ludwig also dropped a sentence and went after Gary. His older brother Gary had always been a very proud person; how was it possible that he would harm a sub-beastman in that way?
　　
Gary was too confident, and everyone had also seen Gary's strength, so they did not particularly believe Emir's words.
　　
If Gary really wanted to harm Emir, could he still survive?
　　
"Gary really should’ve thrown you to the marching ants and given up on you!" Will, sneering, glanced at Emir and turned away.
　　
He had been worried about Gary, fearing that Gary would be miserable and even unable to continue mixing with the Third Corps after Green had betrayed him. But now he no longer needed to worry about it.
　　
Gary was Master Myer’s student. Even if he left the Third Corps, there would be countless people fighting over him! What's more . . . Colonel Mund obviously treated Gary differently.
　　
Will finally relaxed and led the maintenance staff to help the First Corps to handle matters. Meanwhile, Green and other mech engineers of the Third Corps were still standing woodenly in the same place—they all had received a huge blow.
　　
"Green . . ." Emir looked at Green anxiously.
　　
"Gary didn't push you back then, did he?" Green suddenly turned toward Emir.
　　
"How can you think that?! You clearly saw him pushing me!" Emir immediately replied.
　　
"But if he really wanted to harm you, why are you fine?" Green stared at Emil, his teeth clenching tighter. Gary was with this person at that time; why didn't he save Gary but saved this person instead?
　　
If he had saved Gary back then . . . Gary certainly wouldn’t have been so cold and detached towards him after so many years of relationship.

"Are you doubting me?" Emir looked at Green with anger across his whole face. "Fine, you like Gary, then go chase after him! But Gary has Colonel Mund and surely won’t like you anymore!"
　　
Emir turned around and ran away once he finished speaking. Green subconsciously wanted to catch up with him but stopped his footsteps.
　　
The marching ants that had besieged the First Corps had almost been killed off. As for whether there were still other marching ants here, this had to wait for a careful and systematic search after the main troops came.
　　
Once such creatures like the cosmic marching ants were discovered, the military definitely had to do their utmost to eradicate them, but this was not something a small troops could accomplish.
　　
Gary knew these things, but it was not his job to take care of it. He was currently unable to support himself anymore and urgently needed to find a place to rest.
　　
"Senior Brother Gary, you can live here." Ludwig brought Gary to the doorway of a room and opened the room door.
　　
Gary walked in and felt there was something wrong after two steps . . . . This room was full of Ludwig's smell, and the smell was also very, very strong!
　　
This was Ludwig's room . . . . Gary came to a halt and turned to face Ludwig with a frown.
　　
"This is a slightly better room on the spaceship." Ludwig abruptly said with a red face.
　　
Generally, a military spaceship would not prepare guest rooms, and in his case, whether he went to sleep in another beastman’s room or another sub-beastman’s room, it was all improper. In addition, he could not go through another minute to find another room. Gary entered the room and closed the door straightforwardly, shutting Ludwig out.
　　
After doing all this, he could no longer support it and finally slumped down to the ground and then became a little hamster.
　　
He never turned into his beast form when he was outside. After all, his pitifully-small beast form was very unusual, and it would lead to great trouble if found by others.
　　
But now, he could not care too much.
　　
The dual physical and mental fatigue made Gary unable to maintain his human form. He turned into a little hamster and lay prone on the floor, sleeping for a very long time. He woke up for a moment in the middle, bewildered, but turned round and fell asleep again.
　　
Finally, he was awakened by the sound of the door being smashed.
　　
Someone outside the door seemed to be trying hard to smash the door. According to his experience as a maintenance engineer, the door would soon be smashed open . . . . Gary was thinking about this in a daze and then suddenly realized that the situation was very wrong—his current appearance was still a little hamster!
　　
His beast form simply couldn’t be seen by others! But if he turned into his human form now, he would be stark naked . . . . A second before the door opened, Gary jumped onto the bed, got into the quilt, and changed back to his human form.
　　
With a loud “bang”, the door was smashed open, and at the same time, Ludwig rushed in from outside. "Are you okay, Gary?"
　　
"What problem can I have?" Gary poked his head out of the quilt and  turned his gaze toward Ludwig coldly.
　　
"I'm worried that you have an accident. I . . ." Ludwig, seeing Gary's calm gaze, somewhat didn't know what to say. At this moment, he suddenly noticed the pile of clothes under his feet . . . .
　　
Those were Gary's clothes, including his undergarments . . . .
　　
That was to say, Gary was lying naked on his bed?
　　
Ludwig felt his nose heating up, and then blood bubbled out of his nose. He wanted to cover his nose, but it was already too late. Finally, he could only look at Gary, flushing with excitement, "Sorry, I'm sorry . . ."
　　
While apologizing, he took a step back and then made a run for it . . . . However, he came back again after having just run a few steps. "It's all my bad. I broke the door . . . . I'll be guarding you outside." Gary had slept for one day and one night. He sent Gary a message, but Gary did not reply. He rang the doorbell, but it was also useless. Extremely anxious, he finally kicked the door, but he did not expect to actually see such a scene.
　　
Although Gary's body was completely covered by the quilt, just imagining the "view" under the quilt, he . . . . His nose seemed to bleed more and more.
　　
"Colonel, the marshal ordered you to lead the squadron to proceed toward the capital star. Lieutenant General Basque will be responsible for the marching of ants." A few of Ludwig’s subordinates had been looking for Ludwig and happened to see Ludwig covering his nose and standing outside the greatly-damaged door of his own room. Never mind this, there was also blood flowing down Ludwig's hands and staining his chest red.
　　
This . . . . Could it be that their colonel was a victim of domestic violence? His nose bled a lot because the bridge of the nose was broken, right?
　　
"Why doesn’t he let me continue to deal with the matter here?" Ludwig was a little puzzled.
　　
"Because a big event has happened over there in the capital star." Chief of Staff Archie said.
　　
"What big event?" Ludwig frowned.
　　
"It’s concerning the imperial family. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor suddenly announced his abdication." Archie replied. "His Imperial Majesty the Emperor suddenly announced his abdication, and the crown prince's enthronement ceremony has already begun. The marshal ordered you to return as quickly as possible."
　　
"We haven't killed enough marching ants yet. Why should we return?" Someone grumbled.
　　
"Is it no good being able to return to the capital star?" Ludwig glared at this man. At the same time, he was already clear about the current situation.
　　
Although he was the heir to the duke, he did not have to show up at the enthronement of a new emperor. However, while he was allowed to not go, Gary absolutely had to go.
　　
The people below did not know Gary's identity, but those military department heads were very clear about it. Them issuing such a command was in fact ordering him to escort Gary back.
　　
It was indeed possible to get military merit by staying here to kill the marching ants, but Gary was obviously more important . . . . Ludwig promptly ordered, "Then we’ll set off and leave for the capital star  immediately."
　　
Ludwig issued several orders in succession and finally said, “Okay, you may go.”
　　
Everyone turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, they looked back at Ludwig worriedly, “Boss, are you okay?”
　　
“What’s wrong with me?” Ludwig was puzzled.
　　
Archie and others looked at Ludwig expressionlessly, "Boss, sister-in-law's skill is very good, ah . . ."
　　
Ludwig finally remembered his bloody face and realized that these people’s minds had to be running wild. He at once snapped, "Get lost!"
　　
As Ludwig drove these people away, Gary finally got dressed and walked out of the room.
　　
He heard these people’s conversations just now, and he was not surprised one bit that his emperor father would abdicate at this time.
　　
His father had been thinking about abdicating since long ago. For him to be able to endure until this moment was already very good.
　　
"Gary, we’re going to the capital star. What are your plans for the future?" Ludwig took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, looking at Gary with deep concern. Gary went to the Third Corps for Green, and later . . . .
　　
"I’ll take over some of my family's industries." Gary said. His father gave him a lot of industries, including the largest mech and spaceship manufacturing company in the entire Beastman Empire. He thought that he would simply go into his own company as a researcher later. In that case, his life would absolutely be countless times more comfortable than living on the spaceship all day long.
　　
"I . . . I’ll also take over some of my family's industries then." Ludwig blurted, smiling at Gary and showing his white teeth.
　　
"You don't like the military?" Gary asked curiously.
　　
Ludwig certainly liked the military. Although back then he joined the military for Gary, but after a long time, he slowly liked the military. However, he had missed Gary once, and now, after waiting so long, Gary and Green finally broke up. If he did not accompany Gary at this time, who knew if another beastman would appear at Gary’s side?
　　
Thinking this way, Ludwig stared at Gary a bit stubbornly.
　　
Gary, seeing Ludwig’s expression, could not help being a little distracted.
　　
Ludwig was four years younger than him, and he always regarded this man as his younger brother. But now, after seeing him again . . . . Ludwig had long grown up without him being aware of it. Nowadays, when people who did not know saw them, they would most likely think that Ludwig was older than him.
　　
"Gary!" A familiar voice sounded. Gary turned his head and saw Green.
　　
Green was a lieutenant colonel after all, so the First Corps did not restrict his movements, which allowed him to run to Gary’s side.
　　
Gary had a pretty good rest for one day and one night, but Green had not slept yet and looked extremely haggard now. "Gary, you listen to my explanation."
　　
"Get out of the way." Ludwig stepped forward and stopped Green.

"This is between me and Gary, Ludwig. There’s no need for you to intervene!" Green, frowning, glanced at Ludwig and then turned his gaze toward Gary. "Gary, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. You . . ."
　
Green's expression suddenly changed—he smelled Ludwig’s scent on Gary’s body.
　　
What the hell was the relationship between Gary and Ludwig?
　　
If Gary and Ludwig were together, he . . . .
　　
Green had always been very confident, and he was indeed much more remarkable than many people, but Ludwig was never included among these people.
　　
Originally, there were still a lot of things he wanted to say, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
　　
Gary did not care about Green and quickly left. Ludwig, however, glanced at Green proudly before going after Gary.
