Yaming wasn’t the only person practically engulfed in bewilderment. On the main ship ‘Sarri”, the officers sat together, looking at each other in dismay. They were about to play a part in the border planet dispute. After receiving the mission, they arrived bright and early and boarded the ship. They were only waiting for everyone to arrive to head out on their journey.
But right now, basically everyone has arrived, except their boss– Admiral Sirius Monte.
“Where’s the Admiral?”
As Sirius’s most valued second-in-command, Andrew was asked this question once again.
“When it’s time, he will naturally appear.”
With a stiff face, Andrew spoke distantly. Internally however, he couldn’t resist sighing. He really wanted to tell them– stop asking. He wanted to know this answer more than anyone.
Ever since Sirius and a certain person started walking closer, the second-in-command-daren had found it extremely hard to figure out the whereabouts of his superior. Occasionally in insignificant situations, his calls would even end ruthlessly midway.
He could only say: “Right now, it’s still not the assembly time yet.” In other words, the Admiral wasn’t actually late yet.
The officers all looked dumbfounded.
They understood the logic, however in reality, the Admiral had never made them wait before. This was probably the first time they’ve encountered such a situation since entering the military.
Did some unexpected mishap occur? But the second-in-command looked pretty calm and confident, which made them seem like they were making a big deal out of nothing.
Facing the countless pairs of curious eyes craving for answers, Andrew coldly turned around and left the crowd with a lofty and indifferent back view. After he turned around the corner, where no one was present, he finally pulled out his personal comp and attempted to contact a certain mysteriously missing person. However, as he looked at the screen of the comp, for a long time, he could not press down on the call button.
Although Sirius possessed quite the reputation and was pursued by countless people, in reality…… this seemed to be his superior’s first love.
Expression dimming faintly, Andrew ultimately didn’t rush the other– in other words, bother him.
He shouldn’t question the other man so thoughtlessly and senselessly. Perhaps instead, he should be adjusting his work attitude as soon as possible to get used to the new schedule now that his superior was dating, and relax the standards to a greater extent to respect and allow others to love freely?
After all, Sirius has never been late.
The extremely conflicted second-in-command abandoned his plans to disturb his superior. In actuality, the other didn’t let him wait for too long either. About ten minutes before the arranged time, the big doors of the spaceship opened. Andrew turned his head and saw the Admiral that everyone was waiting for. Today, after tidying up meticulously, Sirius didn’t look like he was going to the border planet on a mission at all. On the contrary……
“In an hour, we will pass the biggest transit planet in Asha. There are many interesting things there. The fake beards last time were……”
“Sirius.” Nalun admonished to stop the topic.
The Admiral closed his mouth. However, he didn’t stop smiling.
— Looking extremely like he was going on a public date.

This was the first time Nalun entered Sirius’s battleship under his personal name. He came a few times in the past before, but they were all hurried glances. The arrangement of the battleship’s interior was just like its owner, not gaudy. However, with a closer examination, you can still discover that those ordinary, normal looking equipment were actually a gathering of Asha’s latest technologies.

When Nalun reached a few meters away, he faintly nodded, greeting the familiar person.
Andrew also returned the same courtesy.
Sirius succinctly explained the situation and then expressed to Andrew that they can prepare to head out.
Andrew said with restraint: “It will take 10 hours to arrive at the destination. I will prepare a room for his highness.”
Sirius waved his hand: “No need. I will make arrangements.”
Andrew: “…….” The feeling of a public excursion became even more intense. He struggled briefly and said: “Okay.”
The Admiral’s arrangement was very simple. He directly guided the new arrival of the ship, Nalun, to his own resting area.
The rooms inside the starship were based mainly on practicality. The size and aesthetics naturally couldn’t match the two people’s houses in the Imperial Capital. However, for a single person, it was enough to spare.
The room must have been specifically cleaned. There was not a speck of dust inside. A few basic pieces of furniture were all placed neatly. After Sirius entered, he threw Nalun’s luggage directly onto the lattice bed. Then, tugging on his tightly buttoned shirt, he smiled leisurely at Nalun, looking at him.
Thus, the Honored Prince also looked back unblinkingly, as if waiting for the other to speak. In the end, he still yielded and opened his mouth first: “Where’s my room?”
Sirius sighed sadly.
Nalun was very cold and indifferent– In this kind of situation where there’s only a single narrow bed, it was very uncomfortable for two grown adult men to squeeze in together.
“It’s next door.” Sirius pointed in the direction and then patted at the empty spot on the seat beside him: “The cleaning device is not done yet. Come sit here with me first.”
Should he sit?
Might as well sit.
Nalun didn’t plan to develop anything with the currently working cleaning device. He nested comfortably onto the sofa in the small guest room.
During this time, he also received the sincere greetings of the Imperial Emperor. His older cousin, who had successfully retrieved his beloved bug from Yaming Charvey, was very grateful and excited. Through the personal comp, Nalun could already imagine the other person smiling ear to ear. After the call finished, he even received a joint picture of his older cousin and Xi Jin in his bug form– With a sullen deep glare, the 8 legged bug balanced firmly on top of the Emperor’s head.
Meanwhile, his older cousin, who was over 30 now, seemed to be enjoying himself as he wore the ‘8 legged crown’.
The Honored Prince furrowed his brow, unable to approve this kind of randomly showing off behavior. There’s really no need to circulate this kind of foolish selfie, alright?
The Admiral, who was a lover of selfies, poked his head out from behind Nalun and gave it a glance: “Speaking of which, we haven’t taken a serious picture together yet.”
Nalun looked towards him darkly and pulled out a certain familiar picture.
— With a horizontal advertisement in the background, two people stood in front of the door of the Abbott Clinic, looking harmonious and intimate.
Sirius: “……”
Nalun quickly closed the image. As he pointed at his head, he changed the topic, saying: “Xi Jin recovered. There’s some change in his personality, but he still gives me about the same kind of feeling.”
Sirius leaned against the back of the seat. After hearing the news, he didn’t seem too surprised.
Nalun: “He’s an Insectoid. Aren’t you skeptical?”
“I trust in you.”
Nalun shook his head and said gravely: “Don’t tie this to me. No matter what happens in the future, Luye is completely responsible for everything.”
Sirius in amusement: “Another matching statement?”
The Honored Prince narrowed his eyes: “Actually, we don’t need a matching statement. If the Scepter or other such things disappear in the future, the reason can only be that His Majesty accidentally lost them.” He thought briefly and said: “I’m not taking the blame for him again.”
Sirius nodded his head: “You’re right. I will help testify for you also.”
Nalun nodded his head in satisfaction: “Naturally.”
The Imperial Admiral and the Honored Prince exchanged looks and smiled. Silently, they established a ‘secret’ agreement.
Sirius leaned down, moved close to Nalun’s ear, and said softly: “Now that we’ve finished discussing other people’s business, shouldn’t we talk about our own issue?”
Eyes flashing briefly, Nalun turned his head to look at Sirius.
“What do you want to talk about?”
The Admiral quietly gazed at him. Ever since the two of them opened up, other than the proactive kiss during Nalun’s visit the next day, after that, they strangely entered a pure love state of only holding hands. Even the nightly ‘visits’ became omitted.
“You’re currently getting used to me.” Sirius said confidently: “Getting used to my existence, allowing me to get close……”
As he spoke, Nalun felt the warm weight on his shoulder. Sirius slowly embraced Nalun from behind with both hands and pulled Nalun partially into his arms.
“But other than getting used to me, I hope even more that……”
A scorching breath blew across Nalun’s ear, as if ready to burn him until nothing remained. Nalun pressed his lips together tightly, quietly waiting for the rest of Sirius’s words.
“I want to take you on a stroll around the spaceship. Is that okay?”
Nalun understood.
— This clearly wasn’t a normal ‘stroll’.
This group of people on the spaceship belonged to the other part of Sirius’s social circle. They occupied a large portion of the Imperial Admiral’s life, yet Nalun didn’t know much about them. Right now, Sirius was personally leading him over.
If Sirius wanted to bring a certain someone into his circle, he must make a long term plan.
Back when Nalun agreed to leave together with Sirius on this trip, he already had a faint feeling. Sirius had no intention of hiding their relationship– And there was really nothing to hide either.
However, the two people’s beginning seemed just like a shadow that relentlessly enveloped the Honored Prince’s mind. Even though the development of events had changed countlessly, he still seemed unable to recover from the state of ‘attempting to cover up everything’.
Sirius was still waiting for an answer.
Nalun evaded his embrace and got up. There weren’t too many emotions to be seen on his face.
He said: “Maybe another day.”
As soon as his voice sounded, the Admiral’s dark gaze dimmed somewhat, as if layers of black smoke started emitting from his body.
Nalun turned a blind eye, pretending he didn’t notice anything as he took out juice from the cabinet. His grayish green eyes were half lowered and half restrained, hiding all of his stirring restless emotions.
–If the Admiral were capable of disengaging from the sorrows of being rejected, he’d be able to detect the familiar signs of a certain someone up to mischief.
“Oh right. I need a blueprint of the spaceship.” Nalun mentioned, saying: “The doors of the corridors all look too similar.” Also the long corridor was filled with twists and turns. Walking down it was really mentally exhausting.
Sirius suddenly raised a hand and indicated for Nalun to be silent.
Nalun looked over in confusion. He saw the Admiral lighten the sound of his footsteps and slowly move towards the door.
Accordingly, Nalun also softened his movements and followed him.
Sirius placed his hand on the door handle. A few seconds later, he pressed down. The door opened swiftly. Simultaneously, the Admiral turned to the side to make way. Following the sound of screams, a group of young men in military uniform tumbled to the ground in a disheveled pile.
