BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 - 8.15
Altair didn\'t return to the military academy after Prince Rigel\'s debut ball. Two days later, the news was spread around the kingdom\'s online newspaper. Prince Rigel announced his new partner that he met after the debut ball, Altair Roderick, the Young Master of Roderick Duchy, and a very rare SSS rank alpha.
Prince Rigel described their meeting as a fateful encounter that only happened between fated pair.
The news spread around like wildfire, and the headlines were;
\'Breaking News: Prince Rigel and Altair Roderick is a fated pair!\'
\'Royal News! Altair Roderick and Prince Rigel are already talking about marriage!\'
\'Breaking News! Royal Family is already discussing the marriage with Roderick Dukedom!\'
Yunyu was pacing back and forth in his office, worriedly. He didn\'t know that his decision not to romance the master of the world would lead to this horrible outcome. Pupa watched Yunyu, who was anxious and floated around nonchalantly.
"You know this is the outcome every time you refuse to romance the master of the world, right? Do you remember Sakuma that turn you and Mamoru into android? XuanLake, who infected you with nano bugs so that you can\'t leave him? Every time you refuse to romance the master of the world, it will be a disaster."
"I just don\'t get it…" Yunyu scratched his head in confusion, "You said that Fatemeter is only a way to show the main lead\'s feeling for you, right?"
"Correct."
"Then why do I feel like every time we start a journey, the Fatemeter feels more important than Breakmeter? In every world, if I don\'t romance the main lead, I will usually get something bad coming to me."
"… then just romance them," Pupa said curtly. As if it was answering a dumb question.
"I know that you are scared of getting pregnant again, but do you remember the beautiful life you had with Javier? You had four children that grew up to be great royals, and you grew old with Javier," Pupa said, "Why don\'t you recreate it in this world as well?"
"You don\'t need to do it in every world, because some worlds, like world 7 with XuanLake, it is impossible for you to get a happy life with Hu Xuan in real life. Because you were just a bunch of data."
"But Altair is a good man, you know…"
…
Yunyu knew that Altair was a good man. Despite his brash and stubborn attitude, he was still a very responsible alpha. It was just… no matter how lewd his mind was, Yunyu was still a man. He did not have the same pain tolerance as a woman and getting pregnant over and over traumatized him.
Yunyu sighed as he sat on the chair, then he heard a knock on the door. Pupa disappeared as Yunyu pressed the intercom and let the man outside to come in. He thought it was another cadet requesting a day off.
But when that signature blazing red hair entered the room, Yunyu was shocked. He almost forgot to act as General Vega.
General Vega cleared his throat and asked, "I\'ve seen the news from the kingdom\'s official news. Are you sure that you and Prince Rigel is a fated pair?"
Altair leaned on the wall, his eyes were cold, and he didn\'t seem to take General Vega\'s word kindly, "What of it? What is your problem if Prince Rigel and I are a fated pair? Maybe we are indeed a fated pair because of our gene. Don\'t you say that I should get a good omega to marry?"
"Yes, I know that…" facing Altair\'s cold and nonchalant gaze, General Vega felt that his heart tightened. General Vega often noticed Altair staring at him with worship on his eyes, watching the General as if he only had General Vega in his eyes.
But now, such a nonchalant gaze made him uncomfortable.
"I just want to warn you that fated pair is a sacred thing. I know that you will find your own fated pair, but don\'t be too hasty—"
"Oh, shut up," Altair said. He smirked and scoffed, "General, I\'m not here to argue with you. I know that you don\'t want me here, so I will not disturb you and leave the military academy," Altair said.
"WHAT?!" General Vega gawked. He didn\'t expect Altair to drop his bright future because of this, "No, no, I don\'t want you to leave! Cadet Altair Roderick, you can be a great asset for humanity!"
Altair was honestly surprised by General Vega\'s reaction. Knowing him, he thought General Vega would nod nonchalantly and continued his work. It was such a pleasant surprise for him because he came here intending to withdraw from the military academy.
Altair couldn\'t bear seeing the face of someone he loved kept on staring at him with his pair of cold and nonchalant eyes. He wanted to end it here and left the military academy forever.
"Why did you get worked up over my leave anyway? You have plenty of senior cadets who are not stubborn, devoted to you, and would not say no to your order," Altair said. He took a document from his jacket and put it on General Vega\'s desk.
"This is my letter of withdrawal. I will leave the military academy in one month."
[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to 5%.]
General Vega stared at the letter of withdrawal in front of him. He was stunned by this bold move, "W—Wait, how about your parents? General Dane must have opposed this, right? Have you discuss your withdrawal with them?"
"No, I don\'t need them to know. I just don\'t feel like continuing my training in the military academy."
"Then, what are you going to do?!"
"I will marry Prince Rigel and then join the royal circle. I will have a comfortable life without needing to fight those Zergs anymore," Altair scoffed, "General, without me, you will continue with your regular work. You don\'t need to train me every night."
"Goodbye, General."
[Pupa: You have to make him stay. The moment he left that door and leave the military academy, then there is no way this world will be completed.]
[So he will get married to Prince Rigel nonetheless? Because he wanted to make me envious or sad?]
[Pupa: Yes, it is quite obvious, right?]
Altair stared at the shocked General for a good minute, then turned his back, intending to leave the General\'s office.
"Wait!" General Vega took a big step and caught Altair\'s wrist, "Don\'t leave, this is your place. The military academy is your home, and I am your General. Listen to my order and stay!"
Altair gritted his teeth. General Vega still didn\'t understand him, right? He was always the same cold-hearted man that would never understand this burning feeling in Altair\'s heart.
In the fit of frustration, Altair turned his back and caught General Vega on the shoulder. He pushed the General on the wall and covered him with his tall figure.
Slam!
General Vega winced a bit because of the sudden push, but he was not hurt. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Altair\'s figure engulfed him, and he looked down, "General, did you know how frustrating you can be?"
