Chapter 048: Feelings Between Father and Son


The reason why Rosen was so certain that this was not a coincidence was naturally that he simply had his own solid reasoning. In the past, following the dissolution of the Dark Night Legion, a majority of the soldiers were allocated among each major legion. A great number of all of the officers ranked Major or higher were not willing to go another legion to obey the orders of another General out of their sheer loyalty to General Ling Yu. Therefore, many officers choose to be outright discharged from military service with some officers such as Knox and Irene choosing to serve as instructors in various military schools, no longer having any association with other legions.


Since they already knew that the generals in the major legions hated Ling Yu to their bones, it would have been impossible for them to sincerely treat his subordinates that were so loyal to him well.


Fornt and Zhou Yi represent the portion of the officers who retired directly after the dissolution of the Dark Night Legion.


Fornt used to be the Captain of the Dark Night Legion's Subsidiary Medical Treatment Squadron. He had a mild personality and brilliant medical expertise. After he retired, he could have gone directly to the Imperial Central Hospital as one of the top doctors. However, in spite of the capital star's generous pay, he came to this desolate planet and opened up a small public hospital. Running it for precisely 10 years, this truly does not follow a lick of common sense.


Zhou Yi is also of Asian descendant just like Ling Yu. When he was in the Dark Night Legion, he was the closest of friends with Ling Yu back when he was the Battalion Commander of the Dark Night Legion's First Guard Battalion. Even though this man behaves rather lazily, his body is highly trained in Kung Fu. This kind of Kung Fu that is focused on hand-to-hand punching and kicking is said to be very suitable for people with slightly-built bodies. Whenever Ling Yu had free time, he always liked to spar with him.


These two men's characters are 108,000 li apart. However, they have one key point in common.


Both of them are officers who Ling Yu personally selected for promotion, and both are unconditionally loyal towards General Ling Yu!


The two men have now simultaneously appeared on a desolate planet, one of them living next to Lin Yuan's home, and the other acting as a security guard at a nearby factory close to Lin Yuan's home. This is definitely not just a mere coincidence!


"Which of your subordinates from the Dark Night Legion are also on Planet Rennes?" Seeing the two keeping their silence, Rosen spoke with a cold face: "If neither of you speaks, then I'll take that as you want me to turn this whole planet upside down and go door to door looking for your old comrades then?"


The two men looked at each other face to face. Just then, Fornt said awkwardly: "We two, plus Lin Weicheng who has already sacrificed his life, no one else."


Rosen was silent for a moment and softly asked: "The both of you coming to Planet Rennes, this was planned by Ling Yu, right?"


Fornt and Zhou Yi abruptly stare at each other face to face.


Obviously, it was completely outside their expectations that the Marshal, who had been not hearing and not questioning for 18 years would suddenly go into an extreme rage, spitting with anger on this day.


(TN: Not concerned, never showing interest in something.)


Rosen tirelessly resisted the stab of pain in his heart and lowered his voice when he spoke: "Through all these years, I have always believed that he had died. But in reality, I have never once seen his corpse with my own eyes. And if he is really dead, then...... Where did Lin Yuan, that Omega child, come from then?"


"......!" Fornt and Zhou Yi's eyes simultaneously flashed with a trace of shock.


Rosen continued on speaking: "I have always felt that child quite resembled Ling Yu, but he was a Beta at the time. I had thought that Ling Yu died, so I didn't dare to rashly speculate about it...... I didn't know until last night that Lin Yuan was actually an Omega. Dr. Fornt, Lin Yuan's inhibitor was your doing, wasn't it? Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Yi, Lin Yuan's skill is so good, you also taught him...... Right?"


— So that's why there was always a sense of strange familiarity at the time when he was battling with that child in the mech training room.


When Lin Yuan operated his mech, a lot of his moves were just like that of a human martial artist. Including among these were some blocking moves, of which came from a boxing technique and they became exceptionally more familiar the more he observed.


It wasn't until this moment that Rosen finally realized.


That's right, the way Lin Yuan operated his mech was completely just like a carbon copy of Zhou Yi!


Back in those years, Zhou Yi's talent was the reason why he was chosen by Ling Yu, it was precisely the way Zhou Yi piloted his mech. He entirely used humanoid mechs just as if they were human beings. The mech performed various kinds of a myriad of Kung Fu punching and kicking techniques and the effect simply made one exclaim in admiration!


Rosen is very familiar with Zhou Yi's standard method of punches and kicks, so as a result, he can predict beforehand all of Lin Yuan's movements when they battled with mechs!


— It's painfully obvious that Zhou Yi is Lin Yuan's master.


Rosen's sharp gaze was pointed straight towards Zhou Yi, "Even at this point, you still intend to hide it from me?"


The two men once again took another glance at each other's face. Zhou Yi only then said, "Cough, that's right, back then it was Lin Weicheng who brought Xiao Yuan back to Planet Rennes along with him, Weicheng had sacrificed his life not too long after on the front line. I accepted the General's orders to stay here and look after Lin Yuan. When Xiao Yuan was eight years old, I accepted him as my apprentice. I did indeed teach him Kung Fu."


Fornt quietly said: "I received a confidential letter from the General just as soon as I arrived on this planet. The general asked me to do him a favor and look after a child named Lin Yuan. At that time, I didn't know Lin Yuan's past circumstances. I had always thought that he was the Beta son of Lin Weicheng and Mrs. Lin...... Until Xiao Yuan's inhibitor exhausted at the age of eight, he suddenly fell ill, and I only then realized that he was an Omega."


Fornt paused, "Luckily the General had asked Weicheng to leave Mrs. Lin with a list of ingredients for the formulation of an inhibitor and some prohibited medications to prepare if ever needed. I referred to that list and remade a batch of inhibitors to give to Lin Yuan. Only after seeing Zhou Yi did I fully figure out the true circumstances in Lin Yuan's life.


Rosen felt a burst stabbing pain rise from the bottom of his heart from the two men telling him these things.


Ling Yu......


He didn't actually die! Even that child was born!


Rosen didn't know when all was said and done if at present he should feel mostly pleasantly surprised or mostly sad!


— Pleasantly surprised that he is still alive and that child is also unexpectedly still alive!


— Yet what makes him even more sad is that such a big secret was actually hidden from himself for so many years......


He thought he had died, he set up a tombstone for him in his back garden, and in front of the tombstone was filled with the symbol of the primrose, "There is no other love except for you". For a whole eighteen years, those flowers have already bloomed throughout the entire garden. Every year during springtime, a layer upon layer of flowers of beautiful purples and brilliant reds unfurl upon one another and wrap around the entirety of the tombstone. Just as if it was his own heart met with pain as vines tightly wrapped around it.


Eighteen years, longing for him every single day and night being met by endless remorse and painful torment......


However, that person is undoubtedly alive, but with not a single message, he didn't even let him know of the child's whereabouts......


Rosen's fingers powerfully slammed into the hollow of his palm and the pain that spread from the depths of his heart spread throughout his whole body and made his blood pressure rise. His whole body felt as if it were cut into pieces by a sharp knife and the heavy squeezing sensation in his chest nearly suffocated him.


After a long silence, Rosen took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Ling Yu, where is he now?"


Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "We also don't know the General's whereabouts. The General must be in hiding. You should understand this thoroughly. If those old farts in the Military Department found out that he never died, they would definitely never let him go."


Rosen's ice-cold eyes stared straight at Zhou Yi, "You really don't know?"


Fornt spoke with a gentle tone: "That's right, Marshal, at this point, it's no longer necessary to keep you in the dark anymore. Ever since that incident happened back then, the General has been extraordinarily cautious. Every single time he has actively contacted us on his own accord, we simply have no way to contact him in turn. He has even installed an anti-tracking device in his communicator and mail in order to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the Military......"


Zhou Yi nodded and echoed in agreement: "General sent Xiao Yuan off to Planet Rennes and placed him in Lin Weicheng's home. This was also to allow Xiao Yuan to peacefully grow up safe and sound. It was completely unexpected for that child Xiao Yuan to actually go behind our backs and secretly take the military school's exam... The rules and regulation institution of St. Romia Military Academy are extremely strict. We were afraid that if Lin Yuan did not go to school, the Military Department would specially investigate it and at that time they would instead follow the vine to get the melon and find out his past circumstances. So as a result, Fornt made a batch of inhibitors that can pass through the blood serum test and had the child take it along with him. I believed that I could have him drift along at first for his first academic year and come back later for his vacation and find another method."


Fornt thus also deliberately held a video conversation with his old friend Instructor Knox to make sure that the military academy would not examine the student's genes and had his nephew Karl largely look after Lin Yuan while in school.


However, when it comes to the secret of the feigned death of General Ling Yu, Fornt is not able to clearly tell Mrs. Lin about Lin Yuan's true identity, so he repeatedly emphasized the importance of the inhibitor, allowing her to persuade her son to take medicine on time every day, even so much that she said"If you don't take your medicine for two weeks you'll flare up again", then finished off by saying"You cannot stop for even a week", trying to make this matter sound as serious as possible.


Unfortunately, the original meticulous plan, due to Mrs. Lin's momentarily soft heart, did not tell Lin Yuan that he is an Omega but instead deceived him by saying that this was a problem with his immune system, causing Lin Yuan to be completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.


On the spacecraft, Lin Yuan's medication was interrupted for more than ten days. Because it was the first interruption, there was only a small indication of it appearing. He then took the medicine on and was able to suppress it to a halt. But the second time the medicine became interrupted was in the capital star and finally led to the collapse of the effect of the inhibitor in Lin Yuan's body. His pheromones were in total chaos and he almost entered into the estrus period right then. Caesar then discovered the truth of his Omega identity.


Thinking of that child Lin Yuan, Rosen's heart abruptly aches all over.


— That boy is actually his own son?


No wonder he always feels very close and dear to the child when he sees him, he feels himself growing soft-hearted in complete shambles when that child's sincere smile is aimed at him.


Perhaps Ling Yu had been forced by the circumstances as a reason for his departure and he had no other choice but to entrust this child to his former most trusted subordinates. In any case, that prideful Ling Yu surprisingly gave birth to this child. This child is of his own flesh and blood, in his body is half of his own blood!


Thinking of Lin Yuan's gleaming eyes, bright and glittering smile, and his cute appearance when he immersed himself in eating food......


Rosen's heart was then filled with an indescribable trace of warmth.


The son of himself and Ling Yu......


This is the existence that can only be imagined in a dream. At this moment, it unexpectedly truly became a reality!


***


After Rosen left Zhou Yi's residence, Fornt and Zhou Yi looked at each other and only then did they simultaneously become relieved.


The scene of Ling Yu's feigned death was far too lifelike. Those people in the Military Department had thought that the Ling Yu already died. Therefore, his former subordinates in the Dark Night Legion were not roped into a net and captured and a part of the officers even took the initiative to retire and many of them even looked favorably upon it.


Fornt and Zhou Yi have been lying low on this remote planet. They have not been noticed for more than a decade. They have gotten used to living a leisurely life on this small planet. As a result, at Rosen's sudden murderous entrance today, the two of them had been unprepared and had been caught red-handed.


In fact, if you change places with other people, even if they saw those two living nearby, would they also think that it was some sort of a coincidence? After all, there are only so many human-inhabited planets in range of the Empire's political borders. As chance has it there are also a lot of old comrades who happen to live in the same place.


But Rosen easily deduced that this was all arranged by Ling Yu. It can be clearly seen just how much he understood Ling Yu.


Zhou Yi lightly sighed as he spoke: "Just telling him like this, was it really right?"


Fornt turned over as he rolled his eyes, "Now you're asking this question, don't you think it's too late?"


Zhou Yi coughed, "Cough...... I think even if we didn't say it, he could have also very quickly investigated to uncover the truth. Rather than letting him drag Xiao Yuan away to do a paternity test, we'd be better off telling him directly. After all, Xiao Yuan is also his son."


Fornt nodded his head: "Since we can't continue to conceal it from him, letting him know his also fine. He will be there to take care of him in the Military. Xiao Yuan will be much better off in the future."


Zhou Yi thought about it before saying: "He surprisingly found Planet Rennes and came over, obviously, Xiao Yuan's identity as Omega has already been found out by quite a number of people. I reckon it's probably an issue with his inhibitor. After you go back, you should re-make him a batch of inhibitors without delay."


Fornt immediately said seriously: "I know, I will go prepare at once."


***


Rosen once again returned to the place where Lin Yuan grew up.


Mrs. Lin saw him coming back and immediately greeted him. She smiled and said: "Instructor, come and sit down."


Rosen walked into the house and looked around for a moment, his face stiffened as he said: "I...... may I go to Lin Yuan's room and look around?"


Mrs. Lin was shocked for a second, "Of course you can, please come with me."


Lin Yuan's bedroom was set up in a corner, an inadequately small room of less than ten square meters. It was systematically clear and orderly. A one-person bed was laid out with blue sheets on it, the curtains were also a light-blue, close to the color of the sky. To the side on his writing desk is where various mech models are exhibited along with a plethora of trophies.


This is that child's room......


He came to this house at the age of four and lived here for a whole fourteen years...


Was he very fond of those mech model toys when he was a child?


He won so many trophies when he was in school...... He is truly a smart and sensible child......


Rosen looked inside Lin Yuan's room and recorded each and every one of his trophies as his growth trajectory. He felt proud of him, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel somewhat bitter.


As his own biological father, he never had the chance to witness this child's growth. By the time he found out the truth, he was already an outstanding 18-year-old boy. How did he live in those years? When did he take his first steps? When did he say his first word? When he was young, was the first word he learned to say "Dad"?


The feeling of watching his son growing up little by little, was something Rosen would never have the opportunity to experience.


Seeing Rosen's gaze cast towards the biggest trophy, Mrs. Lin smiled and presented it to him: "This is something Xiao Yuan got when he was in middle school. The school held their first fighting competition and in the end, he won the championship. Everything he knows about martial arts was taught to him from his master, he was especially happy after Lin Yuan received the award. He also asked his master to come to our house to have a meal and spend his birthday together with him."


Rosen nodded his head and asked: "What day is his birthday?"


Mrs. Lin replied: "It is Christmas Eve."


Christmas Eve......


He will inscribe this day in his heart. From today on, this will be the most important holiday for himself —


His son's birthday.


Rosen was silent for a moment and then once again spoke: "Mrs. Lin, can I take a look at photos or video recordings from his childhood?"


Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Of course you can, ah. I'll go get them real quick."


Mrs. Lin soon after held the video recordings and connected them to the TV inside the living room.


On the TV, a clip taken of Lin Yuan as a child was played. Rosen sat on the sofa and watched without saying a word.


The little four-year-old Lin Yuan rolled around on a bed and then turned over into a somersault. Rolling from one side of the bed to the other, he was not in the slightest weary. He flipped around all by himself and looked to be very happy playing.


Five-year-old Lin Yuan went along with his mother and sister to celebrate his birthday. The gluttonous little guy wanted to sneak some cake and as a result, the cake was planted right in his face with the cream then slathered across his entire face......


Lin Yuan, a six-year-old, carries a backpack on his back to go to school, he waves goodbye to his mother, his face full of baby fat had a brilliant smile......


At seven years old, Lin Yuan came home with the first place on his school report card for the first time. He looked at his mother with a beaming smile and used a young and tender childish voice to say, mother, I am amazing, aren't I? I will come back every year in the future with a first place on all of my exams for you......


Looking at Lin Yuan's adorable appearance as a child, the more Rosen stared, the more he liked him. He is itching to reach out his hands to go hug him.


......Xiao Yuan, I am truly very sorry. I am an unqualified father. Not only did I fail to protect your Dad well enough, but I also let you live relying on someone else's charity for so many years. Only now, 18 years later did I become aware of your existence.


......From now on, Father will absolutely never again let you receive any harm upon even a single hair on your head.


Rosen took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa. Looking back at Mrs. Lin, he seriously said: "Mrs. Lin, thank you, you have taught Lin Yuan very well."


Even though this woman's personality is weak, she is nevertheless really good to Lin Yuan. It is truly not easy for a person to bring up children all the way into adulthood while suffering every possible torment.


Rosen didn't know how he should express his gratitude, he could merely just take a good look at her and say seriously: "You've worked hard."


Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: "I-I haven't worked too hard. Xiao Yuan, he has always been especially obedient ever since he was a child. I didn't have to worry about him at all. "


Rosen grabbed his communicator's number and put through a password to set it aside for Mrs. Lin. He softly said: "If you run into any problems in the future, please do not hesitate to tell me. I will help you all. "


Mrs. Lin said: " Thank you!"


Then, Rosen turned and left.


Mrs. Lin, who all by herself had stood in place of himself and Ling Yu and taken over their responsibilities of bringing up Xiao Yuan into adulthood. His heart was overflowing with gratitude. He does not know what he should do in order to repay and compensate her. He will have more opportunities in the future, he will put it aside until he sees Lin Yuan again.


At the moment, Rosen only wants to see Lin Yuan's face as soon as possible.


I want to use every ounce of my strength to bring that child into a hug and tell him —


Son, don't worry! Your father is right here and he will use every bit of his strength to protect you.


***


Rosen pilots Black Dragon to go back to the capital star at the fastest possible speed.


At this moment, Lin Yuan had just recently woken up.


The 600th annual celebration of the Empire was taking place in two days from now. In the time between today and tomorrow, there was free reign to make plans. Lin Yuan originally wanted to have Caesar take him all around the capital star and roam around, but Caesar just happened to have something to do today, it seems like he had to go to Brian's grandfather's birthday party?


After Lin Yuan got out of bed, the smart system inside the hotel room immediately produced a pleasant voice: "Lin Yuan, good afternoon! Before leaving, Caesar left behind a voice message for you. Are you currently listening?"


While Lin Yuan walked towards the bathroom and he also said: "En, let's hear it."


The system began to play the message and right away the familiar sound of Caesar's voice soon reverberated in the room. The deep and low timbre he heard from both of his ears felt extraordinarily warm —


"Lin Yuan, today I will be going to attend the birthday party of Brian's grandfather. I can't accompany you to go out for a stroll. I will take you to the capital star to look all over the place tomorrow. You can make your own plans for today. Oh, by the way, there is some lunch I brought for you on the table, remember to eat it after you get up."


"Oh, got it!" Lin Yuan said a line in return and couldn't help but laugh.


This is just a message, nothing more, but I surprisingly can't help but answer him. Could the reason be that I'm just so used to his voice?


Lin Yuan rapidly washed his face and brushed his teeth then went back inside the room.


Sure enough, there was a heat-retention box placed on the dining table. Opening the lid, the aroma that assaulted his nostrils made Lin Yuan unable to help but gulp down his saliva.


The food is very rich, there are roasted chicken legs, meat patties, and two vegetable dishes, all of which were things he liked to eat. He didn't expect Caesar to be so attentive. Before leaving, he was entirely prepared for lunch. He evidently guessed that he would sleep until noon then?


Lin Yuan smiled and sat at the table and bluntly began to eat.


Caesar isn't here and Lin Yuan also does not want to go out and mindlessly stroll about with no set destination all by himself. This afternoon, he stayed in the hotel and went to the holographic network to play around in mech battles.


Passing through this period of improvement, Ball immediately won 20 matches in a row, the more Lin Yuan played the more excited he became, and it soon became nighttime.


I don't know why, it's almost seven o'clock already and Caesar still hasn't returned yet. Perhaps Brian's grandfather celebrates very late into the evening on his birthday?


Lin Yuan's stomach was empty, he took off his helmet and logged out of the holographic network and planned to order something to eat. Right at that moment, his communicator suddenly turned on, Lin Yuan chose to connect it and right away saw a familiar face appear on the screen in front of him. "Lin Yuan, is it convenient to go out now? I want to see you."


It's the Marshal!


Lin Yuan immediately and excitedly said: "Where are you Marshal? I will come out at once!"


Rosen softly said: "You can head down to the doorway of the Royale Hotel, I will send someone to pick you up."


"Alright!" Lin Yuan immediately turned around to change his clothes before going out the door.


He had just arrived at the doorway of the hotel when from not too far away, a high-end black suspension car began to come over. A man with a serious facial expression came out of the car and personally opened the door for Lin Yuan. In a low voice he said: "Lin Yuan, please get in, the Marshal ordered me to come and pick you up."


"......" This is simply the welcoming treatment of a VIP!


Lin Yuan was overwhelmed by all of the favor he was receiving as he took a seat in the car, he somewhat nervously asked: "Where is the Marshal?"


The chauffeur smiled and said: "I will take you to his home first, the Marshal will very soon be arriving at the constellation of Cepheus."


To the constellation of Cepheus? Is he not in the constellation of Cepheus? Could he have been carrying out a mission in another galaxy?


Lin Yuan is extremely puzzled in his heart, but stemming from his manners, he doesn't dare ask a lot of questions.


The car was extremely fast and they soon arrived at the location of the Rosen's residence.


After laser scanning and password authentication, the apartment's entrance was opened and the car drove straight in.


This is Rosen's private residence in the capital, an independent villa which was unusually designed. The lights inside the house are all turned on and with the full moon in the distance, it was just like a castle in a dreamland. The floor area of the entire apartment is almost the same size as a small park. The three-story villa is surrounded by a wide expanse of lawn, gardens, an exercise yard, and there is also even a super-large swimming pool not too far away......


Lin Yuan looks out through the window of the car at the landscape outside. He couldn't help but lament, the Marshal's home is also far too big......


Moreover, the Marshal unexpectedly called himself to come over to his home. Is there any such secret matter that they cannot let other people know that required them to talk about it?


One of Rosen's trusted aides had been the one acting as a temporary chauffeur, the butler of Rosen's entire apartment, Wilde. Seeing Lin Yuan curiously looking out of the window, Wilde couldn't help but smile and say: "You can go sit down inside the house in advance, the Marshal will arrive soon."


Lin Yuan was politely invited into the living room by the butler. The living room layout is just like Rosen's personality. Simple European-styled furniture, no excessively lavish decorations, but instead it was set up in a very comfortable fashion giving off a homely aura.


Lin Yuan had just sat down on the soft leather sofa in the living room when at that moment, the door suddenly opened. Rosen came in travel-worn and caught sight of Lin Yuan. His originally indifferent gaze involuntarily softened.


Lin Yuan hastily got up from the sofa and went to go salute the Marshal, but he instead saw Rosen smiling as he said: "Just stay sitting down, in the future when we see each other private, there's no need for any of that annoying etiquette." He then finished speaking and turned back to Wilde, "Tell the kitchen to go prepare dinner."


Wilde hurriedly respectfully said: "Understood, Marshal."


The kitchen had obviously already been prepared and within five minutes, the fragrant food was at last placed on the table.


Rosen personally gave Lin Yuan a bowl of rice and handed it right in front of Lin Yuan as he said, "Still haven't eaten dinner I presume?"


Lin Yuan became embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, "En......"


A trace of tenderness couldn't help but emerge in Rosen's gaze. He handed chopsticks over to him and softly said: "Come, eat first and when you've eaten your fill we'll talk."


Lin Yuan humbly took the chopsticks and lifted up the rice and began to eat. Rosen took delicious food and place it in front of Lin Yuan from time to time and Lin Yuan was surprisingly unrestrained when he ate it. He was completely starving and immersed himself in all kinds of delicious food.


Soon enough, he finished off his dinner. After eating his fill, Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "Marshal, what did you call me for today?"


Rosen grew momentarily silent and then stood up as he said: "Come follow me."


Lin Yuan followed Rosen to the back of the villa.


He was merely only able to see the garden within a radius hundreds of square meters, but from what he could see many kinds of beautiful flowers and plants were grown here. The red flowers shone under the moonlight as if they had been ignited into a blaze of fire. Layer by layer were magnificently unfurled flowers laying upon one another, a light wind passed. Even the air was filled with the distinctly sweet scent of flowers.


In the midst of a cluster of flowers stood a single tombstone. On the tombstone, a row of clear-cut handwriting is engraved —


The Lacey Empire's Head of the Dark Night Legion, Tomb of Major General Ling Yu.


Enveloped underneath the moonlight, the tombstone seems to be draped with a layer of soft light muslin.


Seeing the words on the tombstone clearly, Lin Yuan suddenly froze in place.


Tomb of Major General Ling Yu? Is this...... Dad's grave? But, according to Suzaku's deduction, isn't Dad still alive?


Only, Suzaku was kept in the museum for so many years and also evidently did not know about Dad's whereabouts. What's going on now? Why would the Marshal's home have Dad's tombstone? Could Dad have died later?


Lin Yuan looked at the tombstone in front of him and suddenly his thoughts began going into a whirl.


Just then, the sound of Rosen's voice suddenly entered his ears, revealing a bit of strange hoarseness: "Xiao Yuan, do you know who this is?"


Lin Yuan: "......"


Rosen softly said: "He is your Dad...... He secretly gave birth to you and sent you off to Planet Rennes to hand you over to his most trusted subordinates to raise...... Because the Military wasn't willing to let him get away, he couldn't keep you at his side and get you caught up in danger...... So, he injected you with an inhibitor and wanted to have the identity of a Beta, growing up ordinarily and happily."


Listening to the Marshal's soft voice as he spoke, looking at the ice-cold tombstone in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't restrain his emotions as the rim of his eyes grew red, "I...... Dad, he...... How did he die?"


Rosen was silent for a moment. "He didn't die."


Lin Yuan doubtfully asked: "Then this tombstone is......"


Rosen raised his head and looked right at the tombstone in front of him and said: "This tombstone was set up by me 18 years ago. At that time, he was pregnant. When he was piloting a mech to escape from the constellation of Cepheus, he encountered a cosmic sandstorm. I had thought that he was buried alive in the interstellar ruins, so I set up a monument in my home..... Since you have been born, then it proves that he did not die. He is still alive and properly gave birth to you."


(TN: Raws said 19 here and only here. I'm assuming it's a typo for now lol.)


Rosen turned his head back to look at Lin Yuan and said with a gentle tone: "Xiao Yuan, I am your Alpha father."


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


Because of too much shock, Lin Yuan suddenly widened his eyes as he stared in disbelief at the man in front of him.


The Alpha father who he has been continuously wondering about, it was actually him?


How is that possible?!


But...... the Marshal would never joke about this kind of thing. Moreover, when Dad was faced with the onset of estrus, he did indeed have Adjutant Knox to request for the assistance of the Glory Legion. In those years, General Rosen also indeed rushed over to help......


Then he marked Dad?


Lin Yuan was in a complicated mood as he looked at the man in front of him and entirely didn't know what the right thing was to say.


Rosen took a step forward and lightly placed his hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder and said in a low voice: "It's your father's incompetence. I couldn't protect either of you well enough back then. I wasn't even aware of your existence until today...... Sorry, Xiao Yuan...... I'm sorry......"


Looking at the glistening tears forming in the corner of the eyes of the man who had always been tough and indifferent and hearing his voice choking with emotion, Lin Yuan suddenly couldn't help but feel a burst of distress.


In fact, during that time he also couldn't blame him for the whole affair, after all, Dad was discovered to be injecting inhibitors by the Military. The Military would have had him severely punished and back then Rosen was only a General, it was simply impossible to save Dad...... The old-fashioned rules established in the Military are to blame. Furthermore, those four-star generals of the so-called major legions, because his Dad is an Omega, blotted out all traces of the meritorious services from the Dark Night Legion......


This world is merely to be blamed, it is really too unfair when it comes to Omegas......


Lin Yuan looked at Rosen's painful and remorseful appearance and hurriedly said: "No, there's no need to say sorry, I won't blame you...... I think Dad also wouldn't blame you for trying to save him...... You are already trying your best aren't you?"


Lin Yuan scratched his head and turned his head back towards the tombstone, "In these past years, you had thought he died, you were also very upset, right? You secretly set up this tombstone at your home for him and even engraved his military rank on the tombstone...... I think...... You must certainly love him very much......"


Rosen was suddenly stumped for words.


He had thought that this child would surely blame himself and blame this father who neglected to do his job.


Unexpectedly...... Xiao Yuan was actually so kind-hearted and open-minded.


The father and son stood side by side in front of the tombstone and remained silent for a long time.


Rosen just then spoke in a small whisper: "Xiao Yuan, are you willing...... to call me Father?"


Lin Yuan was stunned and looked back at Rosen, stuttering as he said: "......Fa-father?"


Rosen immediately took Lin Yuan tightly into his arms and entered an embrace.


That kind of hug seemed as if he was afraid of losing something precious, it even made his heart tighten into a dull ache.


"I am here, Xiao Yuan......"


"Father will protect you, I will never again let you suffer any grievances, absolutely never......"


Listening to the man's voice deep and low voice cracking with emotion in his ears, Lin Yuan was silent for a long time before finally reaching out and returning his hug, he lightly buried his face into his father's embrace.


A hug like this even made him reluctant to part from it......


This is precisely the love from a father that he had never experienced before.


Strong, warm, reassuring, able to prop up a sunny and cloudless sky for himself......


Father.


The author has something to say: Actually, it could have been broken off in the middle! But I don't want the stop halfway to make everyone have a kidney deficiency, thus a big chapter is finished!! Eight thousand characters, come one, you can't deny it! Writing until midnight la!! Seeking praise!!


PS: I saw a lot of people asking, let me talk about the settings in this work.


In this writing, when an Omega is in estrus, the blood relatives within three generations will not be affected.


Father, grandfather, son, and grandson, these direct blood relatives are not affected by each other because of the common genes in their body.


For example, Rosen and Xiao Yuan, even though they are an Alpha and Omega, because the father and son are pure [Flesh and Blood], even if Xiao Yuan was in estrus, Rosen wouldn't be affected at all.


In addition, regarding the daddies names, one is called Father (父亲), one is called Dad (爸爸) (Daddy (爹爹) doesn't feel too suitable, so it's like this......) 2k novel reading network


(TN: Utter fools. I have managed to climb out of my hole! What's the plan now? Next chapter is a shortie so good for me? Some small changes. A kind reader found a better translation of Sheffield to be Cepheid so that'll be a thing from now on. Also, I've been aware of something for a while now, I was just kind of laissez-faire about changing it. Planet Rennes should really be Planet Ryan, the other translator also planned on changing it to Rayan, but Ryan is like the English name it was going for. So... Opinions? If it's alright now as Rennes then I'll keep it like that, but let's just get a little census so I'll stop thinking about it every time I go to bed. Sorry for such a long note~)
