AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 91
by VolareAfter seeing Auston off, Ruan Tang and Auston were initially able to contact each other constantly, but as Auston arrived at the Gemini galaxy and became busy with military affairs, the connection between the two became less and less.
They could only squeeze out time to contact each other in their busy schedules. Several times, Auston was so tired that he fell asleep on the other end of the communication. Based on the afterglow projected by their warships, Ruan Tang, a researcher from the military research institute, could even deduce their spatial leap process and understand the migration state of the entire army almost immersively.
Ruan Tang was slightly relieved, watching Auston being able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the legion commander –
The crazy longing for Auston in his heart was still difficult to eliminate.
This was the first long-distance separation since their marriage, making it difficult for both of them to adapt for a while, but Ruan Tang still forced himself to learn to adapt.
Because, he knew.
There might be more such separations in the future.
Ruan Tang forcibly extracted himself from this sentimental and melancholic emotion, and earnestly began to manage his work and the ten miles of crabapple blossoms that Auston had left him.
Recently, many things have happened on Imperial Star. One of them is the sudden announcement of marriage between the First Imperial Prince Iso and Duke Carlos.
Ruan Tang wasn’t originally so concerned about his brother’s former lover’s marriage, but the other party’s marriage partner was not only one of the seven dukes, but also Auston’s uncle, a highly influential figure. Moreover, Duke Carlos’s nephew had almost been rumored to be engaged to Ruan Tang’s current little brother-in-law, Ryan.
In this way, the only two Imperial Princes in the royal family were, in the eyes of outsiders, exchanging marriage partners. Such a high topic of discussion made it difficult for Ruan Tang not to pay attention.
This sudden marriage of the Imperial Prince seemed nothing special at first glance, but Ruan Tang didn’t know why he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
But where did this unease come from?
He had no way of knowing.
On the other hand, after Auston left, the Empress’s interaction with Ruan Tang became more frequent.
“Child, you’ve done so well. How could such a smart child like you not be my own? We must interact more in the future to maintain our relationship. Auston and your brother have gone to war. Now, the closest people on the entire Imperial Star, besides your mother, are the two of us…” The Empress looked at Ruan Tang with gentle eyes, almost like his own mother: “If there’s anything here that you like or want, just take it…”
Empress Catherine was a person who was good at judging the situation. As Ruan Tang’s status rose and he obtained the position of head of the Ruan Family Estate, she greatly changed her previous attitude towards Ruan Tang.
Not only was there no longer any contempt in her words, but there was also a great intention to win him over. After realizing that Ruan Tang might have feelings for Auston.
She didn’t even dare to mention Auston’s bad words or the initial urging for Ruan Tang to quickly give birth to a grandson for her.
She only adopted a gentle policy, constantly trying to win over Ruan Tang.
“Mother, don’t worry. You are Auston’s mother. Since Auston and I are married, in my eyes, you are naturally no different from my own biological mother. If I want anything, how could I not tell you?” Seeing her treat him gently, Ruan Tang immediately changed his address to the Empress as mother, revealing an appropriate sense of filial piety: “I’m doing very well now and lack nothing.”
They both tacitly knew that what the other was saying was empty words, but they didn’t point it out, only cooperating with each other to put on a show.
The current Ruan Tang was no longer the Ruan Tang he used to be. Even if he had relied on the Empress in the past and borrowed her power to rise to his position, and even said many lies to the Empress, the Empress could now look past it because of his status.
Among the superiors on Imperial Star, there was never any emphasis on right and wrong, black and white. They only focused on the results, never on the process.
Since Ruan Tang could climb up, no matter what method he used, in the Empress’s eyes, this was his ability, and it gave the Empress the motivation to think highly of him and cooperate with him in playing the game.
…
Ruan Tang was on Imperial Star, hiding needles in cotton with various dignitaries, and plotting with tigers.
At the same time, in the Radiance Legion of the Gemini star system, during the noon break, when the patrolling soldiers were mentally relaxed.
An unknown fleet suddenly appeared near the “Radiance” through a spatial jump.
They launched an attack on the “Radiance” main warship with a clear goal.
The other side didn’t have many people, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. The unprepared main warship only tilted slightly before quickly returning to normal operation. Although Legion Commander Duke Auston was currently unable to command in time due to the treatment of his mental disorder, Vice-Captain Carnell, a confidant of Auston’s who had been hiding in the army for a long time, quickly analyzed and judged the battle situation.
He launched an attack on the attackers.
Bang bang bang!
Several light bullets were fired at the same time. Just as the Radiance Legion’s light bullets were about to hit the small attacking ships, there was a loud “boom,” and those unsuspecting small attacking ships actually self-destructed.
A brilliant and dazzling faint light.
Like fireworks, it bloomed in the dark starry sky, dazzling many soldiers in the Radiance Legion who were still unaware of the sneak attack and confused, and they began to whisper to each other, asking what had happened.
“General, this…” Landon stared dumbfounded at the several large fireworks that exploded in front of him without gaining any advantage for his own fleet, and couldn’t quite understand why the other party’s leader would send more than a dozen of the latest miniature attacking ships,Delusion to attack his own large-scale legion.
The purpose of this impossible mission.
Carnell, who had just finished commanding the battle, frowned. Hearing Landon’s question, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly rushed towards Auston’s treatment room: “Damn, there are spies in the legion. The other party is aiming for His Highness’s treatment…”
Landon was shocked, and then understood the point. He anxiously followed Carnell towards the treatment room.
Inside the treatment room.
Auston was still lying in the cold, hard treatment pod, unscathed.
And the assassins who intended to break in to assassinate him had already been subdued by the soldiers who had discovered them first. Seeing this, Carnell immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“General Carnell, something bad has happened. During the treatment just now, several logistics soldiers were suddenly discovered to be assassins, intending to assassinate His Highness Auston… Although they were quickly subdued by General Lant and did not succeed in assassinating His Highness…” Doctor Lingle grimaced and said: “But His Highness’s mental disorder treatment failed. After this, his next mental sea disorder attack may be even more severe…”
Carnell was taken aback and became nervous again: “Ah?”
“Moreover, just because they rushed over, even though I tried my best to maintain it, the treatment device still deviated by 0.001 millimeters in His Highness’s mental sea. There is a 60% chance that His Highness will lose his memory after waking up.” Lingle frowned, completely unaware of how this could have happened.
He had clearly advised Auston not to act recklessly and risk his life for treatment at this time. He should have brought Ruan Tang with him.
Carnell immediately asked with a solemn expression: “What else? Besides amnesia and the next mental disorder attack being more severe, what about the impact on His Highness’s body? Is there anything else? Will it affect his intelligence?”
He didn’t expect that even though he rushed as fast as he could, he was still one step late and failed to protect Auston.
“No, it won’t cause any impact. This is already the most serious impact.” Doctor Lingle said with a grimace.
Carnell quickly calmed down. Countless guesses about this assassination and the mastermind behind it flashed through his mind in an instant. After a while, he immediately ordered his subordinates: “Okay, in that case, you immediately contact the people on Imperial Star and tell them to send the madam over within a week to help His Highness relieve the disordered mental power.”
As Auston’s confidant, Auston granted Carnell the power to decide on all matters, large and small, within the army and the group during his absence.
“But General, the Duke doesn’t want the madam to come over. You know that…” Seeing him make such a decision, Landon immediately spoke out in opposition.
Everyone on Imperial Star knew about Auston’s infatuation with Ruan Tang. If something happened to Ruan Tang because of this, even if Auston lost his memory, who would bear the responsibility when he remembered it later?
“Nothing is more important than His Highness’s life. The madam is His Highness’s Omega, and even if she dies for His Highness, it is her fate.” Carnell directly interrupted him with his own way of thinking: “If something really happens, I will use my head to apologize to His Highness!”
He was a typical loyal and straightforward Alpha-male chauvinist. In his eyes, Omegas were born for their own Alphas. Now that Auston’s body needed Ruan Tang, as a subordinate who was centered on Auston, he would not care about Ruan Tang’s safety at all.
He only wanted Auston to be well.
Landon still didn’t quite agree with his decision: “But what if the madam doesn’t want to? He is the head of the Ruan Family Estate, Lieutenant General Ruan Yang’s brother. If he doesn’t want to come, we can’t just have someone tie him up, right? After all, the news of His Highness’s accident must not be leaked…”
The border was cold and dangerous, and it was a place that Auston would never want Ruan Tang to come to.
“Then, while sending people to contact Imperial Star, send another team to secretly search for Omegas with an information whitematch rate of over 95% with His Highness. With the war imminent, His Highness’s mental power must not be disordered.” Carnell decisively decided.
When Auston was unconscious, Carnell was the supreme commander of the legion.
Seeing that he was determined to do so, Landon had no choice but to remain silent.
On the other hand, the personal soldiers who had subdued the assassins suddenly thought of something and asked Carnell, “What should we do if His Highness loses his memory?”
“We’ll talk about everything after His Highness wakes up. As long as it doesn’t damage His Highness’s intelligence and mental power, things like memories are not a big deal.” Carnell frowned.
As far as he was concerned, the fact that Auston might lose some of his memory was not a big deal at all… As long as Auston was still the legion commander, and this treatment, which had been disrupted by the encounter, did not bring any other impact to his body.
That was enough.
Solving Auston’s mental disorder was their top priority.
Just as they were talking, the door of Auston’s treatment pod suddenly opened.
Carnell strode forward, and everyone made way for him.
Auston opened his eyes and sat up. He calmly scanned the surrounding environment and finally fixed his gaze on the people in front of him: “Carnell? Lingle? Landon? Arthur?… What’s going on? Why am I here?”
As soon as he said this.
The people around him immediately confirmed that he had indeed lost his memory.
Unable to distinguish which stage of memory he had lost, Carnell immediately stepped forward and reported to him in detail the current situation, the cause and effect of his assassination, and the bad news that this assassination had caused him to lose his memory and that the next attack might worsen his mental disorder.
“Gemini star system, the Zerg are making a comeback, and the Emperor actually sent me to war… Good opportunity, this is really a God-given opportunity.” Auston was a little surprised that he had finally chosen to risk making this treatment that might damage his mental power and failed, but considering the current situation, he felt that his risk seemed worth it.
Landon looked at him worriedly and immediately asked, “Your Highness, your memory?”
“Star calendar 734, if I’m not mistaken, I’ve lost about two years of memory…” After quickly integrating the acquired information, although Auston was a little surprised by his choice, he quickly calmly accepted the fact that he had lost two years of memory.
Unlike the pretentious and delusional Auston in front of Ruan Tang and on Imperial Star, Auston in front of his trusted subordinates was often a person with extremely strong self-control and rarely showed his emotions.
Like a natural leader, inexplicably convincing and authoritative.
Hearing his words, the uneasiness in the hearts of the subordinates because of this assassination and Auston’s failed treatment all calmed down.
Seeing this, Landon immediately asked: “Your Highness, since you have lost two years of memory, do you need us to integrate everything that has happened to you in these two years, print it all out and send it to you to read…”
He always felt that amnesia was a big deal.
“No need to be so troublesome, fighting the Zerg is the most important thing. This is the good opportunity we have been waiting for for many years. You only need to integrate the current fortress situation and the latest situation on Imperial Star, the political situation, the claims of the major senators, and how the various nobles are aligned, both openly and secretly…” Auston rubbed his forehead, not caring at all that he had lost two years of memory: “I don’t have that much time to study my past trivial matters.”
He didn’t think that there would be anything particularly happy in his past two years that would be unforgettable for him.
For him, anything that could be forgotten would not be a big deal.
Seeing this, everyone present nodded in agreement, and no one dared to disobey his will.
…
Ruan Tang received the news from Auston’s forces at the first moment after Auston’s accident that Auston’s treatment had failed, resulting in memory loss and a possible increase in mental disorder, requesting him to go over and help Auston relieve his mental power.
Ruan Tang never expected that the Alpha, who seemed so obedient to him, would dare to make such a decision behind his back, without even consulting with him. Not only did he cause himself to lose his memory, but his condition also worsened. Ruan Tang was immediately so angry that he trembled, his face turned ashen, and he almost vomited blood.
“Madam, are you… going?” Vincent asked cautiously, looking at Ruan Tang’s ashen face.
Ruan Tang clenched his fists tightly, almost digging his nails into his flesh: “Go, of course I’m going. He dares to hide such a big thing from me. Not only am I going, but I also have the mind to beat him up.”
He acted so well-behaved and reasonable in front of him. This Alpha is actually just a straight-A male chauvinist who likes to be autocratic and doesn’t respect Omegas, right?
Vincent: “…”
He hadn’t had much contact with Ruan Tang. He didn’t expect that Ruan Tang, who usually looked gentle, actually had such a fiery temper.
Thinking of this, he silently sympathized with his master for a second and began to question whether he should have come to invite him to go to the border to help Auston relieve his mental power.
Ruan Tang directly cut off the communication. He spent most of the day first using his power on Imperial Star to strictly seal off the news of Auston’s accident so that there was not the slightest possibility of it being known by outsiders. Then, he went to the palace to see the Empress, expressing his intention to go to the border to accompany Auston because his estrus period was approaching.
The Empress was immediately overjoyed. As Ruan Tang’s status rose, she no longer expected Ruan Tang to be willing to be a reproductive tool to give her a grandson. This time, the Emperor sent Auston on an expedition, and she no longer expected this son to have a chance to come back alive. She had secretly obtained Auston’s genes and planned to cultivate a grandson herself in private, and then nominally adopt him into Ruan Tang’s name.
But doing so violated the Empire’s Life Law and could easily be seized by the Emperor’s forces.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ruan Tang took the initiative to propose to go to the border to spend his estrus period with Auston and get pregnant to give him a grandson.
Although the Empress also felt that Ruan Tang might be doing this to fight for power, it seemed that they were still on the same boat at the moment, so how could she not be overjoyed?
No matter what happens in the future, she now desperately needs this legitimate and pure-blooded heir.
She simply raised both hands and feet in agreement: “Good child, my good child, I knew you were a good child. Go and spend your estrus period with Auston. Empress Mother will definitely arrange everything properly for you, ensuring that you arrive safely at the border fortress and return safely.”
“…I understand, thank you, Mother.” Ruan Tang immediately nodded.
After everything was properly arranged, Ruan Tang embarked on a journey to the border, escorted by Auston’s Imperial Star personal soldiers, leaving Imperial Star for the first time in his life.
