Chapter 042: The Little Omega Monster


(Edited)


Caesar had just placed Lin Yuan flat on the bed to let him get some proper sleep when he saw his communication device suddenly light up. It was news from his elder brother: "I waited for almost half an hour in this restaurant. How have you guys not arrived yet?"


- Lin Yuan's situation just now was too urgent and because of it, Caesar was deeply troubled and had neglected to inform his elder brother.


Seeing the arrival of this message, Caesar immediately replied: "Elder brother, sorry, the dinner gathering tonight is canceled, I had something happen here!"


Xiwei quizzically asked: "Does this have to do with Ball?"


Caesar was unable to explain to him in detail and had to say: "That's right, we can come back to this discussion later, I want to ask you to do me a favor real quick."


"Alright." Xiwei did not ask again and returned directly to the Imperial Palace.


At this moment, His Majesty, Trent had already long since piloted King Lion and returned to the interior of the Imperial Palace.


The captain of the Royal Guard Squadron, Regg, immediately and respectfully reported the details of this evenings state of affairs. The entire process of Caesar's forced entry into the Imperial Palace was even recorded by the hidden surveillance cameras above the Palace.


After watching the entire course of events replay back, Trent immediately piloted King Lion to the front of the door to the Palace where Caesar lived.


Outside of Caesar's Palace, the highest level defense system was activated.


- Caesar had always been sensible, why would he suddenly forcibly enter the Imperial Palace today, what could have driven him?


Trent slightly wrinkled his brows and ordered King Lion to connect to White Feather's communication device.


White Feather, who received the communication request, immediately stammered out: "Ma-Ma-Master! It's Ki-Ki-King Lion! His Majesty has returned! Ah, ah, ah, it's over, we will certainly be punished by His Majesty......"


Caesar quickly interrupted White Feather, with a tranquil expression he said: "Hurry up and purify the air inside the house."


"......Oh!" White Feather complied with his master's order and immediately started up the air purification system. All traces of the mixed scent between the Omega and Alpha pheromones inside the room were quickly removed and purified clean.


Caesar turned back and gave Lin Yuan a nice quilt. Then he stood up and walked to the living room and accepted the communication request from his father.


His Majesty, Trent's face immediately appeared on the projection screen in front of him.


On closer inspection, the looks of the two father and son have quite a bit of resemblance. Their facial features are equally handsome and profound. The bridge of their nose is cut straight downwards as if it had been sharpened with a knife. When their deep brown eyes coldly gaze at other people, it gives out a suffocating feeling as if being oppressed under a kingly aura. Coupled with their tall and straight figure, it naturally reveals a pureblooded Alpha with the most powerful scent.


His Majesty, Trent's temper is ordinarily relatively mild and his mood rarely fluctuates.


However, at this moment, he nevertheless used his sharp and ice-cold eyes to look at his little son through the screen. The immense pressure that came from the silence even made White Feather feel threatened into immediately shrinking back its neck.


- Caesar neither servile nor overbearingly met his Father's gaze.


Because he must stand with a straight back and obstruct every storm for Lin Yuan. If he ever toppled over, Caesar can't bear to think what the ending for Lin Yuan would be. Thinking of that optimistic and cheerful little guy who would be expelled from the military registry by the Military Department because of the exposure of his Omega identity and then even shut into a dark underground prison for the rest of his life...... Caesar felt like a knife was being twisted into his heart!


- He will never let Lin Yuan be met with such misfortune!


Therefore, he must advance pass his birth father, His Majesty of the Empire!


The father and the son looked silently at each other for a moment, Trent said faintly: "Why, don't you want to explain now?"


Caesar calmly looked at his father in King Lion's cockpit and in a low voice said: "Father, could you please come inside my Palace, I have something to say to you alone."


Trent came out of the cockpit of the mech and put King Lion back into the space button on the platinum-golden ring on his thumb.


The captain of the Royal Guard Squadron, Regg, immediately stepped forward. "Your Majesty......"


Trent waved his hand calmly. "You all step back, alright? We will have a chat with the Fourth Prince alone."


(TN: Better late than never but, here the King is using the Imperial "I" often translated as "We" (Note: he doesn't refer to himself like this in front of Caesar). I also want to mention that Caesar often refers to his parents as the royal version of Father and Mother (not all the time if he's having a soft moment with them) and calls his elder brother Prince elder brother. It sounds stuffy to always do that in English so I often just leave it out and try to make everything else sound formal instead. Occasionally I will throw it in if it calls for it.)


"Yes, Your Majesty." Regg immediately led the Royal Guard Squadron's warships to speedy retreat.


Caesar saw their retreat and in turn, shut off the defense system outside the palace.


The Palace doors were opened and Trent entered the Palace. He immediately saw that Caesar was standing in the living room. After seeing His Majesty, he immediately bowed in a standard royal ceremony and respectfully said: "Father."


Trent coldy swept his gaze at him, then turned and walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down and looked up at him. "Why don't you explain now, what can't you let others know and what also permits you to boldly order White Feather to forcibly break into the Imperial Palace?"


Caesar went up to face his Father and said, "Father, do you still remember Lin Yuan?"


Trent nodded. "I remember, why?"


Caesar went on to say: "He took second place in the school-wide mech competition on campus. I went with the school team to the capital star to participate in the National Finals. I didn't expect him to be an Omega. Back when we were at the hotel, his pheromone level suddenly increased. I took him straight back to the Imperial Palace in order to take the inhibitors elder brother previously left behind."


Caesar paused and continued: "The situation at the time was very desperate. If I didn't give him the inhibitor injection in time, his pheromone would rise again and he would enter the pre-estrus phase, so I ordered White Feather to forcibly enter the Imperial Palace."


Trent was silent for a moment and softly asked, "Then what about Lin Yuan now?"


Caesar said: "He is already asleep."


Trent said: "That is to say, you used an inhibitor to control his pheromone concentration?"


Caesar honestly said: "Not only that, but I also bit into his Omega gland and temporarily marked him...... because at the time the pheromones in his body were very chaotic, I had to mark him to forcibly suppress his body's pheromones fluctuations."


Trent looked with a deep gaze at his own son. After a long time, he lowered his face: "Caesar, you must be aware, an Omega who disguises their identity to sneak into a military academy violates how many Imperial laws and Military Department orders? Such a major crime will receive what kind of punishment?!"


Caesar nodded. "I know."


Trent spoke coldly: "Yet you still tell me all this? You think your Royal Father will help you shield Lin Yuan?"


Caesar is silent for a moment, only to say seriously: "Father, I don't want to deceive you, because for this matter I simply can't rely on my own power, it's impossible to keep this in the dark. Once discovered by outsiders, the consequences will definitely be even more serious. So, I decided to tell you the entire truth, I hope to get your help."


Caesar looked at his father, his eyes were completely calm: "I love Lin Yuan, I want to use every ounce of my strength to protect him."


"As an Alpha, We are bestowed with power countless times stronger than Beta and Omega. Is it not to be able to protect the people you want to protect at the crucial moment? If you can't protect the one you love the most, then what use is my ability as an Alpha and my status as a Prince?!"


"If by any chance, something happened to Lin Yuan, I can only choose to go to the Military Department and give myself up. I marked him and I injected him with an inhibitor, if the court-martial convicts him, I am his biggest accomplice...... I am willing to accompany him together to prison."


"......" Trent looked at Caesar silently.


Caesar let out a softened voice: "Father, if you understand that I want to protect the feelings of the person I love, your son begs of you to help us...... In the entire Empire, there is only you who has the ability to conceal this matter. "


"......"


The message in the speech is a true, correct interpretation and the sentences are reasonable. As a Father, Trent unexpectantly found himself unable to retort for a while.


Trent couldn't help but look up at his little son who had just turned 18.


The chubby child in his memory always followed behind his elder brother as a bum beetle. Back when he was busy with government affairs, he rarely worried about things in the Palace. In the blink of an eye, the small Prince named Caesar quickly grew up.


The 18-year-old boy stands tall and straight with a strong build just like his own. He looks just like the younger version of himself.


Even now, he can go so far as to calmly look face to face with his father, for the one he loves, he braves the dangers and forcibly goes into the Imperial Palace without an explanation, but also throws out the, "I love him" and "I will accompany him into prison" preconditions to ask for Father's help?


- As an Alpha, We are bestowed with power countless times stronger than Beta and Omega. Is it not to be able to protect the people you want to protect at the crucial moment?


- If you can't protect the one you love the most, then what use is my ability as an Alpha and my status as a Prince?


This is what the 18-year-old Prince said, straight out of his mouth.


By speaking a few simple words, he easily overthrew the Empire's centuries-old tradition.


The world is dominated by genetically superior Alpha genes. Betas are forever in the lowest rungs of society. Omegas only need to be responsible for bringing up children and reproduction. This is the societal rule that human beings have developed since the evolution of the three genders of ABO.


But, Caesar said that the Alphas possess the strongest abilities not for conquest and possession, but rather for protecting the people they care about.


This sentence has been heard by others, especially by those Alpha bigots who are the chauvinists of the senior generation. They will surely mock this Alpha and say his brain is faulty.


However, when Trent heard these words, he suddenly felt incomparably gratified.


- Caesar grew up.


He has his own beliefs, his own loved one, and has the courage to work hard and fight for his beliefs.


No Father doesn't hope to see his son mature, let alone the King of the entire Empire such as Trent.


He has always regarded this small son of his as something to nurture as the heir to the throne. From ages big to small, the teachers who looked after Caesar were all personally selected from the most erudite scholars of the generation. The trainer who taught Caesar fighting skills was also once the champion of fighting in martial arts.


- After Caesar grew up, sure enough, he did not let his Father down!


As an honorable Prince, Caesar will not just arrogantly display his title as a Prince and throw it around, but will instead act calmly and keep a low-key profile, he knows to weight the pros and cons and utilizes the appropriate behavior, and before his Father he wouldn't lie and he would never speak incomplete sentences filled with empty words. In the act of feigning Vermillion Bird's death, he had successfully deceived the museum and the Mech Association with a few words.


For an 18-year-old child to accomplish this is already super rare.


What's more, he has not been bound by the Empire's centuries-old traditional, outdated way of thinking. He has his own beliefs in his heart pertaining to the relationships between Alpha, Beta, and Omega, he has his own unique way of thinking.


- And this way of thinking just so happens to closely coincide with Trent's own way of thinking.


There is nothing more gratifying to someone than such a thing.


If there is one day when he grows old and the whole Empire is handed over to this little son of his, perhaps he can genuinely rest assured then?


Thinking of this, Trent raised his head and looked at his small son, he couldn't help but make his tone a bit gentler: "Caesar, you said that you fell in love with Lin Yuan, did you know that he was an Omega?"


Caesar shook his head: "When I first liked him, I always thought that he was a Beta, I also just discovered it today."


—The little Beta monster has unexpectedly turned into a little Omega monster, Caesar is also extremely surprised.


As a Beta, Lin Yuan is already ferocious enough to shock people, if they knew that he was actually an Omega, he estimates that the jaws of all of the Alphas in the entire school will drop, especially the Alphas who suffered a crushing defeat at his hand during the competition. If they knew that the one who defeated them was actually an Omega, he reckoned that they would ashamedly go hit a wall.


(TN: I think this is supposed to mean like finding themselves stupefied without another option? Where did this slang come from? Put it back!!! Edit: User suggested that this might be a reference to an ancient Chinese way to commit suicide by hitting their head against a wall until they die. (Or until they bleed perhaps lol.))


Listening to what Caesar says, it is obvious that he likes Lin Yuan.


Even while knowing that Lin Yuan was a Beta, he still went right after him in spite of even the set traditions of the royal family's lineage. When he, himself was young, his budding love was that of the purest and most beautiful romance without the slightest entanglement of any political interests.


As a Father, Trent could not bear to shatter his son's beautiful dream.


Moreover, this kid surprisingly took a fancy to Lin Yuan...... His eyes are actually very good.


The corners of Trent's mouth couldn't help but lightly raise upwards and he said in a soft voice: "Since you have already brought your beloved directly into the Imperial Palace, I cannot give you my approval, but on the contrary, it seems that I would be unreasonable?"


Hearing his Father's words, Caesar immediately excitedly said: "Father, do you agree to help us?!"


Trent nodded helplessly. "You already said that if he went to jail, you would accompany him. What can a Father do? Leave you tied up and under house arrest? Since you have clearly requested to be bound with Lin Yuan, I will assist you and I can only also incidentally assist him as well, isn't that so?"


Bringing his gaze face to face with his Father's smiling expression, Caesar's face suddenly grows hot.


This feeling of bringing his beloved one to come to meet his Father is still quite embarrassing......


Trent thought about it and said: "It is not difficult to continue to conceal Lin Yuan's identity. The Royal Guard Squadron will definitely keep their mouths guarded like a closed bottle. The crucial point is the school. Over there, you can't let the instructors or the student body know about this matter. Do you think Lin Yuan can still participate in this competition?"


Caesar said firmly: "I believe he can!"


Trent smiled: "Even if he is the Omega that you marked, it doesn't matter?"


Caesar said: "It doesn't matter, I support him participating in the competition, his strength is stronger than many of those Alphas and he's eager to excel."


Trent nodded with satisfaction. "Okay. Then, in that case, act like nothing happened today. You and Lin Yuan will continue to participate in the competition tomorrow. When you return to school, you will wait another day before leaving, take along some inhibitors and let the Royal Guard Squadron personally escort you. I will greet your headmaster and the Guards' will not rigorously inspect the vehicles. Lin Yuan will continue to go to school as a Beta and then find a way to graduate no matter the means. You can marry him and bring him back as your Princess then."


Although this method has a bit of risk attached to it, there is his Royal Father backing him. As long as he always accompanies Lin Yuan at his side, he will be given an inhibitor injection once every three months. It is certainly no problem to graduate from the military academy without a hitch.


As for the future, I want to marry him as my Princess......


Now, Lin Yuan is only his friend and it's a long ways away from taking that step, but it's not too late to slowly work hard.


Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully looked at his Father: "Thank you, Father!"


He had thought for sure that he would be punished by Father today. He didn't expect his Father to be so fair and reasonable!


Trent's gaze moved onto his son, he smiled, stood up from the sofa and said: "This particular instance, Father can help you two, next time you mustn't be so impulsive, remember that you are a Prince,"


Caesar immediately guaranteed: "I know!"


Trent paused and said: "When Lin Yuan wakes up, take him to meet me."


Caesar became embarrassed as he looked in the direction of the bedroom and nodded. "Alright."


***


Lin Yuan has not yet woken up when Xiwei has rushed back.


Going directly inside the Palace where Caesar lived and seeing Caesar, Xiwei hastily asked: "What happened to Ball?"


Xiwei did not know Lin Yuan's name, only the username of Ball.


For a whole month, he accompanied them on the holographic network to play mech battles. Xiwei indeed grew very fond of that hard-working and earnest Lil' Ball, who was also the one who his younger brother fancied, naturally, a large part of his heart he had already grown close and dear to him. Furthermore, both of them were mech fanatics and they also shared many common interests. When the three people were together, more often than not, Big Prince and Ball would amicably chat, leaving Small Prince out hanging to dry off to the side.


Caesar met his elder brother's worried gaze and without better option, opened his mouth to explain: "Ahhh, he is an Omega. Today, the concentration of his pheromone suddenly rose. I had no other choice but to take him back to the Imperial Palace to find an inhibitor......"


Xiwei was surprised: "He is an Omega? You liked him for so long, yet you didn't find out about it?"


Caesar: "......"


Xiwei gave his little brother a cold look. "This is truly too stupid, the one you like is an Omega yet you didn't even see it coming."


Caesar: "......"


After being chided by his elder brother, Caesar had to sheepishly touch his nose. His nose had actually already picked up the scent of Omega pheromones before. However, at that time he thought that there was a problem with his nose. He didn't investigate it carefully...... Moreover, his present inhibitor was so powerful that it could pass along each stage of the military academy's blood serum test? So to say, Snow is also definitely an Omega?


Before Caesar could even deeply think about it further, Xiwei no sooner directly bypassed him and walked into the bedroom.


In the bedroom, Lin Yuan was sleeping on Caesar's large bed, he was probably sleeping so deeply because of mental exhaustion.


Xiwei walked up to his bedside and looked at him. The spotless white quilt covered his body revealing only a head. The boy slept sideways on the bed, his jet-black hair looked as if it was color washed by ink......


He was called Ball, his face was also a bit round with a small amount of baby fat on his face that makes people want to pinch it.


The more Xiwei looked, the cuter he became and he couldn't help but say: "You said that this was Ball? Your eyes are actually not bad."


Caesar looked at Lin Yuan and smiled as he said: "His name is Lin Yuan."


Xiwei turned to look at him. "You brought him back to the Imperial Palace, does Father know?"


Caesar said: "Father was just here a moment ago, he knows about all this and agreed to help us cover it up." Caesar paused, "That's right, there is something I need to ask of elder brother. I need to bring a few inhibitors back to school."


Xiwei simply nodded, "This is no problem. I will give you some to you later."


Caesar paused. "And...... I was also forced to temporarily mark him, his body will have the scent of my pheromones, would this lead to suspicion from others?"


Xiwei patted his brother's shoulder and smiled: "Rest assured, I have medicine that masks the smell."


Caesar: "......"


Elder brother really has every medicine one could think of on hand so as to not get married simply by any means, fair or foul.


The two were chatting. Lin Yuan, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly turned over and somewhat discontentedly grumbled: "So noisy."


Caesar blanked out for a second and immediately pulled his elder brother out of the bedroom and said with a light voice: " Let him sleep peacefully for a while. I'll have White Feather go with you to get the medicine after the competition is over, I'll look for a chance to properly thank you."


Xiwei nodded and turned around with White Feather.


Caesar returned to the bedroom and found that Lin Yuan had actually woken up.


He evidently hasn't figured out the situation, half-consciously rubbing his eyes, looking somewhat confused around the interior of the Palace......


This room is too strange. The bedroom is unbelievably large, the bed is also exceedingly large, practically seven or eight people could lie down side by side on such a big bed. Even performing a somersault would be no problem. Isn't such a large area a bit too extravagant......


Moreover, the platinum-gold design engraved on the headboard looks very refined, obviously from a rich and honorable household.


The furnishings in the house are extremely elegant, the ceiling is closed, but the roof is open with portholes. A glittering group of stars in the sky can be seen through the transparent glass. The floor of the room is covered with thick and pure white carpet, just as if it was snow.


......where is this, ah?


Lin Yuan dazedly scratched his hair and raised his head and his vision caught sight of Caesar.


Caesar went to his bedside and sat down, he softly said: "Did that noise wake you up? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"


Lin Yuan saw Caesar and felt a bit relieved, but he still doubtfully asked: "Where is this? What was wrong with my body back then? My heartbeat abruptly sped up and I felt so strange everywhere. Have you taken me to a hospital to get it examined?"


When Caesar heard these words, he felt a bit baffled.


What was wrong with your body? Go to the hospital for an examination? Don't tell me this little guy doesn't know that it was an oncoming estrus??


Caesar was silent for a moment, trying to put the softest possible voice: "Lin Yuan, you don't need to hide it from me, I already know."


Lin Yuan looked at him skeptically: "What do you know?"


Caesar: "......"


Lin Far: "??"


Caesar embarrassingly did not know where to start, "I'm saying I already know that you are an Omega and in order to suppress your estrus, I had no other choice but to temporarily bite into the gland on your nape. For marking you...... you, you will not blame me then?"


Just with Caesar mentioning it, he actually began to blush!


Lin Yuan: "..............."


What is he talking about, ah?


What Omega? What mark?


Lin Yuan was silent for a while before he said, "I don't seem to understand what you are saying."


Caesar hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, the mark on you is only temporary. If I didn't mark you at the time, the Omega pheromones in your body would continue to rise, it was certain to enter the love-making period, if that had happened you would have been unable to participate in the competition." Caesar paused and softly said, "Lin Yuan, as an Omega, no matter what your reason is to sneak into a military academy, it is known to be a punishable offense. Of course, I will help you hide this secret and when the competition is over, I will bring a batch of inhibitors back to school."


Lin Yuan: "............... "


The script is wrong?!


How did I suddenly become an Omega? Also love-making period? Also marked?


Lin Yuan pinched his palms as hard as he could to make himself wake up. Recalling the "mark" repeatedly mentioned by Caesar. His fingers subconsciously drifted to the nape of his neck and touched it. Sure enough, in that place, they felt the imprint left behind by Caesar......


Lin Yuan suddenly felt a burst of numbness spread across his scalp and his face also became complicated.


When Caesar saw his blank appearance, it became apparent that he had not clearly understood the situation until now.


Caesar suddenly felt that something was a bit off. If he was an Omega, he should be aware that his physical condition is caused by the onset of estrus. He should also have had the knowledge to know about marking, ah. Could it be that......


Caesar astonishingly asked: "Could it be you don't you know that you are an Omega?"


Lin Yuan was awfully puzzled but still said very seriously: "I've always been a Beta, ah. Caesar, aren't you mistaken somewhere? What are you doing marking a Beta? Also, I am not in any such estrus cycle, I have a defect in my immune system. Ever since I was a child, if I didn't take my medicine, my heart would beat faster and my body would grow feverish. Didn't I already tell you earlier??"


Lin Yuan used the"How are you so stupid?" and "You went so far as to mark a Beta" look towards Caesar.


......Caesar was left dumbfounded and speechless.


(TN: Kinda ends off abruptly, but yeah. I'm back thanks for being patient!)
