ABO Cadets

Chapter Volume 4 90




Because of worrying that his dad had run into trouble, Brian’s mood has not been very good these past few days, he has not been able to sleep well for several days, and even had nightmares for several nights in a row.


For his whole life, although his Dad, Berg’s personality was a bit cold, he was actually very doting towards Brian. In Brian’s mind, his Dad, Berg, was his biggest support. In addition, his father also obeys his dad’s every word, and his dad, Berg, is even more of a godly existence at home.


Brian was a bit unruly when he was a kid. Every time he did something wrong, his father, Drew, always loudly yelled at Brian, steaming with rage. He even wanted to use his fist to teach this son. Unfortunately, every time Drew clenched his fist, as long as Berg’s cold gaze swept over him, Drew would immediately come to a halt and slowly make his way over to gather up Berg’s shoulders in his arms, helplessly saying: “Hey, don’t be angry, I also do this for our sons own good…… What will we do if when he grows up this kind of thing continues?”


Berg lightly says: “It’s fine if boys are a bit naughty in their childhood, he will be sensible after he grows up, right? Brian?”


An itty-bitty Brian immediately nodded in rapid succession, cleverly clinging to his Dad’s thigh: “Yes, yes, yes! Dad, what you say is completely right!”


Berg faintly laughed and lightly rubbed Brian’s head, “Good boy, starting tomorrow, daddy will teach you the assembly and installation method of some new parts, you come to the mech warehouse with me for a few months, lest you also go out to stir up trouble.”


Brian’s eyes shone bright and he immediately grasped his Dad’s sleeves firmly, as if he were a puppy, he anxiously followed behind him like a small bum beetle.


Drew grows increasingly out of sorts looking at his son. Ever since this smelly brat was born, Berg’s attention has been entirely focused on this smelly brat……


Berg’s biggest dream was to be a master mech maker, this bit may have been passed down to Brian. From the time when he was little, he had been especially interested in mechs, and Berg was more than happy to teach his son all the knowledge he had. For Brian, spending time with his dad in the mech warehouse occupied most of his childhood, and it was also the happiest memory of his childhood years.


It was also because he had always liked to stay with Berg from a young age and that they have a lot of common language in the mech field, Brian’s relationship with Berg is naturally much closer than his with Drew. Drew was an upright and serious father in Brian’s heart and Brian deeply respected him more. But Berg is nevertheless his closest and dearest dad whom he can talk to about his dreams and even the person he likes about.


Brian knew from Caesar’s mouth that Drew led the Hydra Legion to Naomi Star. It was pretty normal to be unable to contact his father, but Berg rarely traveled far, and being unable to contact him for a full half a month, this made Brian very much uneasy.


***


After school that day, Brian and Snow returned to the dormitory together after finishing eating their evening meal, and Brian, who was always very talkative, was surprisingly dead silent all along the way.


Snow soon picked up on something amiss and after returning to the dormitory, took the initiative to open his mouth and ask: “The semester assessments are coming soon. Has the examination set up for your Mech Engineering Department all been released?”


Brian said, lowering his head: “En, it’s already been posted online.”


After he spoke, he unexpectedly fell silent again.


Snow somewhat worriedly asked: “What’s going on with you?”


Brian feigned an undisturbed smile and said: “It’s nothing. I’m probably just too tired from reviewing these past few days. Go and rest. I’ll take a bath first.” He then turned around and walked to his room.


Snow slightly knit his brows, grabbed Brian’s hand, and asked with a cold face: “Why are you lying?”


Brian turned his head around, coming into contact with Snow’s azure eyes as if they were the color of the blue sky—


The inside of that pair of clear eyes was filled with worry and unease, his slightly frowning look was marked with a distinct dissatisfaction.


Snow attentively stared at Brian’s eyes and said earnestly: “You could make Night Snow with but your own two hands. At your level, how could you be worried about a military academy’s first-year exam? Even though you could pass the third-year graduation exam no sweat? Speaking of this, Snow’s brows couldn’t help furrowing even tighter together, “What the hell happened to you that’d make you look for such a crappy excuse to lie?”


Brian looked at Snow frowning in dissatisfaction, his heart was moved, and he couldn’t help but stoop down and place a kiss on his lips, lowly asking a breath away from his lips: “Snow, is this you being concerned about me?”


Snow: “…………”


Some people’s level of shamelessness was simply more impenetrable than the city wall of the Capital Star’s Imperial Palace.


But hearing what he said, Snow, however, had to admit that he was a bit unaccustomed to looking at the always enthusiastic Brian suddenly hanging his head down dispiritedly and it also made Snow a little worried— what the hell happened to make Brian so dejected?


Snow was silent for a moment and shifted his eyes off to the side in embarrassment. He turned his head away and coldly said: “If you know that I am worried, then why would you still lie to me?”


—This feigned appearance of coldness and detachment, especially looking through Brian’s eyes, it is particularly titillating.


Brian couldn’t help but tightly wrap his arms around his waist, resting his chin on his shoulder, and say in a hushed voice: “Actually, there is a little issue concerning my family…… It seems as if my dad suddenly dropped off the face of the universe and I’ve been unable to get in contact with him for a full half of a month. I’m really worried that something could have happened to him……”


Snow was lost for words, he remembered that Brian’s dad was a very classy man and that he could successfully escape from Cepheus at that time was also thanks to Berg secretly coming to his rescue. Moreover, Berg even gave him an inhibitor. Snow has always been very thankful for that, and he also has a very favorable impression of Brian’s dad.


Brian took a deep breath and continued to say: “My dad very rarely travels far away. This kind of situation is definitely not normal. If by any chance something happened to him, I…… I really am very worried……”


Brian’s voice suddenly deepened. He tightened his arms wrapping around Snow even more as if he were drawing in a bit of warmth.


Snow could perceive his sadness.


Fellow student Brian, who would wear a smile all day long, unexpectantly displayed such a lost expression. A trace of distress suddenly surfaces at the bottom of Snow’s heart. He couldn’t help but reach out his hand and gently stroke the man’s head, saying softly: “Don’t be sad…… Being unable to contact him doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in trouble. Maybe your dad had a very important matter and left the Capital Star for the time being?”


Brian nodded his head, “……I hope so.”


At that moment, he suddenly felt very happy…… When Snow lightly stroked his head like petting a house pet’s fur, Brian felt as if the place where his heart was had received a kind of warming consolation.


Although Snow was cold and haughty on the surface, Brian knew that Snow was actually a very gentle and soft person hidden under the cover of his iceberg-like shell. He also silently cared about him and was willing to lay down his pride to console him…


Brian is already content with the way things are now.


This is the Omega I like, the Omega that can give me comfort and strength at a crucial moment.


Sensing that Brian’s embrace was getting tighter and tighter, Snow couldn’t help quietly saying: “Don’t think too much about it. I will go back tomorrow and ask my Dad. Both of them are members of the Undercurrent, they are very familiar with each other and there may be special contact methods.”


Brian nodded, and then released Snow, gave a small smile, and moved in to kiss him tenderly.


***


Unexpectedly, after returning to his bedroom, just after taking a bath, Brian received a communication request sent from Drew to his surprise.


Brian immediately picked up the request without a second thought, watching on as his father donned in a military uniform appeared in front of him, he couldn’t help but loudly yell: “Where have you been old man? Do you know what’s going on at home? The communicator has been unable to be connected with and I haven’t been able to contact Dad for half a month!”


Drew touched his nose and quietly coughed before he said: “You lower your voice a bit, your dad is here with me. I fear he’s too tired, I sent him off to bed just a moment ago……”


As he spoke, he swept the lens of the communicator towards the bed.


Sure enough, a man with a handsome face lay on the bed, his eyebrows relaxed, he was evidently sleeping very well.


Seeing that Berg was soundly asleep, Brian let go of the worry that had lingered in his heart for half a month and breathed a little sigh of relief, saying: “Isn’t the Hydra Legion at Naomi Star? How could Dad be with you, ah?”


“He came together with me.”Drew smiled and said proudly: “Stinking brat, I have some good news to tell you, you’re going to be a big brother soon.”


Brian stared blankly ahead, but didn’t respond for a short while, “What…… big brother?”


Drew raised an eyebrow up, saying: “You’re truly a moron! Your dad is pregnant. You will have a little brother or sister.” Drew broke off his speech and said seriously, “I want you to be a good big brother in the future. Take proper care of your younger sibling, don’t bully them, you got it? “


Brian: “……………”


Brian really didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry at this moment.


He was worried for half a month and thought with a crippling fear that something had happened to his dad, and in the end, it turned out to instead be something good— Dad was actually pregnant?!


Looking at Drew’s excited appearance with his IQ suddenly dropping 100 points, Brian showed an unusual loss for words.


However, thinking that Dad will be going give birth to a soft and cute little one, one that would follow him at his tail and use their soft and puerile voice to call out, “big brother” “big brother”, Brian couldn’t help but to also get excited, inquisitively saying: “Old man, is this one going to be a son or a daughter? Alpha or Omega?”


Drew frowned, saying: “We still don’t know yet, however, I’m hoping for an Omega that does as one is told. In any case, as long as it is not an Alpha son it’s fine.” So as to avoid an unruly trouble-making one like Brian that made this father of his especially want to brandish his fists and punch someone.


Brian said with a beaming smile: “An Omega would also be pretty good, I would certainly take good care of them and try to nurture them as much as possible……”


—Nurture them into the kind of little Omega monsters like Lin Yuan and Snow, who couldn’t be bullied.


— Of course, Brian could only say this in his heart.


After Drew shared the good news with his son, he once again donned a grave look and said: “That’s right, you have to take an exam in a few days, isn’t that so?”


Brian said full of self-confidence: “Relax, even if your son can’t get full marks, he can stay in the top three for sure.”


Drew nodded and said: “After you’re done with your exams, don’t come back home, your grandfather went on a trip to a relative’s place and your dad is here with me, you can go wherever you want this vacation.”


(TN: He used the word that means your father’s cousin and I’m assuming (confident) that he’s referring to Trent with that since I don’t think any of Drew’s cousins have been mentioned/plot relevant.)


Brian’s eyes lit up, “Really?!”


In that case, he could accompany Snow on a romantic two-person trip…… What would be a good place to go? Take a look at the legendary violet nebula in Andromeda Galaxy M31? Or go to Planet Rennes to see the snow?


Brian was immersed within his beautiful fantasies, he didn’t notice in the slightest how worry flashed in Drew’s eyes as he said those words.


—You mustn’t go back to the Capital Star, because there very well may be a huge crisis lurking in the Capital Star.


Drew took a deep breath and looked at his son as he said in a low voice: “If you run into a situation where you are unable to get in contact with us again, you don’t need to worry, the Naomi Star Space Station had been blown up. The communication signal here is not very good.”


Brian nodded: “I got it, take good care of Dad.”


Drew knit his brows: “You’re telling me.”


Drew gave his son a cold look, turned off his communicator, and looked at his soundly sleeping lover in bed, he immediately smiled in a cheerful mood.


***


The good news that Berg was pregnant was shared with Caesar by Brian that very night. They had played together their whole lives. There were practically no secrets kept between these good bros.


Caesar was quite surprised by this. He knew that ever since Wang Shu had given birth to Brian, General Drew was worried that his body wouldn’t be in good health and wasn’t willing to let him give birth again. In fact, the life expectancy of humans now commonly exceeds 300 years. Omegas all have the ability to give birth until they turn 100. Many pure-blooded Omegas have numerous children. Berg Wang Shu had only given birth to Brian. The number of people in General Drew’s bloodline is indeed really thin.


Brian was very excited about becoming a big brother and even wanted to help think of a name for his little brother/sister. Unfortunately, with his naming ability, he’d certainly curse his younger siblings to death.


Brian also raised the subject of vacation plans, saying that he wanted to go back to take a look at Snow’s hometown together with Snow. He even asked Caesar, would you like to drop by Lin Yuan’s hometown to see the snowy scenery?


Caesar couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows—


Could it be a coincidence? Why is General Drew having Brian go out on vacation to mess around, and his Fu Wang also told him not to return to Capital Star to go on vacation? Is something going to happen in the Capital Star?


His keen intuition suddenly made a sudden feeling of uneasiness rise from the bottom of Caesar’s heart.


That night, Caesar contacted Xiwei Dawang Xiong, and Xiwei smiled and said: “Nothing is going on with the Capital Star, you’re just overthinking things too much, don’t you think? Fu Wang is letting you go out to learn your own sense of principles from your own experience. As an Alpha prince, you still haven’t gone to as many places as I have.”


Caesar: “……”


Dawang Xiong has had the body of an Omega and the personality of an Alpha ever since he was a child. He frequently sneaks out of the Imperial Palace to “travel” everywhere, and he indeed has traveled all over the Empire’s major galaxies. Caesar really admired this too.


Since Xiwei had said as much, Caesar’s mind was reassured and he concentrated on preparing for the examinations next month.


***


What Caesar didn’t know was that after ending the call, Xiwei was abruptly summoned by Trent to the Palace.


This was the first time that his Fu Wang had urgently called him over this late at night. Xiwei spoke somewhat puzzledly: “Fu Wang, what are you calling on me for so late at night?”


Trent said with a heavy expression, “Go on a trip to Lyra, your younger sister Sia is critically ill and it isn’t easy for your mother and me to leave the Imperial Palace. Go and check up on her on our behalf.”


(TN: the second princess, already married, has a big-sister-like beauty. Changed from the previous translation of Cecilia. 西雅-Xīyǎ)


Xiwei said in shock: “Yaya is sick? What illness could be so serious?”


(TN: Nickname from the last character in her name.)


Trent sighed softly: “The doctor said that it’s a mental issue, she has always had mild depression, it’s gotten even worse recently. A few days ago she almost committed suicide…… You have been close to her from a young age. Go spend some time with her and talk her out of this funk.”


Princess Sia was only one year younger than Xiwei and after she was married off to Lyra the year she turned 18, Xiwei never got to see her face-to-face again, only hearing about her state of affairs through the occasional video call.


Even though she was a princess, as an Omega she had to bear and raise children as a housewife.


When his little sister Sia was a child, she had a strong personality and she liked to run off to all kinds of places with beautiful landscapes to paint pictures. Novel ideas would pour in unceasing torrents from her mind. Shutting her up in the house all day long, it was no wonder that she would suffer from depression.


Xiwei nodded immediately, saying: “Then I will set off tomorrow and go see how she is……”


His little sister who was so lively when she was young would unexpectantly suffer from depression and attempt suicide. Xiwei was so terribly distressed that he couldn’t wait to immediately fly over to her side.


Trent was silent for a moment and solemnly said: “You are an Omega, you cannot show your face in public. Be careful when leaving the Capital Star this time, I will send people to escort you. Don’t wait until tomorrow, just get going now.”


Xiwei was stunned, he hurriedly said: “Got it, Fu Wang, I’ll go back and prepare.”


Later that night, Xiwei departed from Cepheus along with the accompanying Royal Guard Squadron.


What he didn’t know was that all the while within the Imperial Palace, His Majesty Trent and Queen Anna had followed his mech with their eyes as it gradually disappeared past the horizon.


With glistening tears threatening to spill from her eyes, Queen Anna said almost inaudibly: “Xiwei and Caesar will both be safe, right?”


Both of their daughters had been married off and are far away in the Lyra Galaxy. After all, the princesses are much less threatening than the princes. Their safety can be guaranteed too. Anna feels the most unrest about the eldest prince Xiwei, who has always been unwilling to be married off and the youngest prince Caesar who was still attending school at the military academy.


Trent’s facial expression was extremely heavy, a good chunk of time had gone by before he spoke in a low voice: “They are, I already made the arrangements, all of them will be safe.”


When he foresees possible dangers occurring, he sends his sons off in advance. This is what he should do as a father. Xiwei and Caesar are still young, he cannot allow his children to be drawn into this dispute. Even if the Royal Family really goes to ruin, he also has to ensure the safety of his sons.


Trent gently placed his hand on his wife’s shoulder, turning back to look at her, “You should go with Xiwei……”


“No.” Queen Anna interrupted him with a smile and said softly, “I am the Queen of this Empire, I am also your wife. No matter what, I should be by your side and we should face everything together”


Queen Anna gently held His Majesty Trent’s hand, her gaze was earnest and resolute.


The woman who appeared weak and gentle, at that moment, the brilliance in her eyes even surpassed the most resplendent starlight in the sky.


The author has something to say: There is only the calm left before the storm ~~


Before the storm arrives, the little monster, classmate Lin Yuan still has to be marked, simply adding hail to a storm (be delighted to hear and see it).
