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 relations.h.i.+p 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 ident.i.ty 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 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. 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 circ.u.mstances? 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 pus.h.i.+ng 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 relations.h.i.+p.

"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 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p." Ludwig abruptly said with a red face.

Generally, a military s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p 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 p.r.o.ne 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, flus.h.i.+ng 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 ident.i.ty, 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 b.l.o.o.d.y 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 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p 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 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p 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 h.e.l.l was the relations.h.i.+p 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.

Gary did not want to pay attention to Green again. After destroying the mech and beating Green up, he had decided to not trouble Green anymore.

The two men, Green and Emir, were unworthy of him spending too much attention on them.

However, he did not plan to look for them, but the two men exhausted all means to be a hindrance to him on the journey back to the capital star.
