The next morning, Caesar attended the morning meeting as usual and officially took office as the Chief Executive of the nation.The title of General Caesar would become history.Caesar delivered his inaugural speech without any visible abnormalities, accepting interviews and live broadcasts, explaining to the public that the gunshot last night was a mistake during a drill and the leak of Plan B.Caesar calmly apologized for this: "This was a mistake made by our staff, and I will take responsibility for the impact it has caused."He detailed the contents of Plan B once again, stating that before completely eliminating the terrorist and violent organizations targeting the Asti people, the empire would still impose strict control measures on them.Caesar said:"It is now clear that there are still some discordant situations within the empire.""Blind acts of terror have had a severe impact on our lives, and innocent people have even lost their lives as a result.""Some people think that
"If you die, Miss Emilia will be heartbroken."Lola opened her eyes in the dawn light, her forehead still throbbing with pain, just like when she was caught stealing food for the first time as a child and was hit on the head with a wooden stick by the chubby male chef in the restaurant.She felt as if her head had become a container full of milk, her brain swaying and getting battered with pain. The intense dizziness made her want to vomit, but Lola still persevered and resisted the urge, murmuring, "Thank God.""You should thank Miss Emilia."A familiar male voice rang out. Lola maintained her lying position on the bed and gently turned her aching neck to see Angus.Just like when he was at the mansion, Angus was wearing a black shirt that had been washed until it had faded. However, he didn't have the same gentleness he had shown Emilia. When looking at Lola, he didn't seem to be looking at a living creature."What do you want to eat?" Angus asked, "But there's only bread."Lola sai
"Alright, thank you, goodbye."After the call ended, Arthur put down the phone and told the person next to him, "It's not her."His subordinate marked an asterisk next to the foreign phone number, indicating that it had been checked and did not pass.Nearly two months had passed since Lola had fallen off the cliff. At that time, they had only found one of her shoes, some strands of her brown hair, and fragments of her clothing.Besides that, there was nothing. There was no trace of her body; perhaps it had sunk to the ocean floor with the waves that day, or maybe it had been swallowed by a lurking shark in the depths of the sea.Caesar never publicly announced the news, as it seemed he couldn't accept the fact that Lola was dead.Arthur had already come to terms with the truth that Lola had died.No one had gone to save her; the only person who had tried to rescue Lola had been imprisoned. Caesar found a retreat order on his phone. Even Lola's companions had given up on her, so how co
With a clenched fist and a rubbed palm, Lola thought she could find an Alpha for a temporary mark to endure the arduous heat period.Sadly, the doctor warned Lola that due to her physical condition and the two major surgeries she had undergone within a year, it was safer for her to continue relying on medication at least three times.However, now it was much easier. Lola, whose mark had been washed away, no longer needed those expensive suppressants. The cheapest ones in the pharmacy would do, already included in the healthcare system, with most of the cost reimbursable.Three days after the mark was removed, Lola still chose to stay in the hospital for observation. She could save money elsewhere, but not when it came to her health. She didn't want any more unexpected occurrences.The woman sharing her ward wasn't as calm as Lola. Her congenital intellectual disability meant she stay upset for a long, but the fever and pain after the mark removal kept her crying day and night. Perhaps
Due to her exceedingly critical questions, Lola successfully lost the opportunity to watch the heartbreaking romantic drama with her roommate.But that was okay. Her roommate had simmered delicious asparagus soup that night and left a portion for Lola, which she drank in one go.The window on the balcony was open. Lola hummed a song as she watered her plants, occasionally using fallen pine branches to swat at flies. She cleaned up the pine branch remnants that impaled the fly corpses before her roommate could find them.She didn't stop training.Unlike the Empire, perhaps due to being a multi-ethnic nation, racial discrimination in the Republic wasn't as severe. Even the Asti people, who migrated here, were welcomed and given legal aid.In the Empire, since Caesar took office and the new Prime Minister ascended, there hadn't been any violent incidents.Asti people who had previously participated in and planned violent bloodshed were arrested one after another. The trials against them
Lola was a typical silver-hair enthusiast. It had nothing to do with genes or anything else; Lola had shown a different preference for silver hair since she was a child.Just like Angela's teacher liked brown curly-haired boys, Eugenie liked pale-skinned Omegas, Ollie liked adults with a food aroma pheromone, Caesar liked delicate wrists...Lola had a natural liking for silver-white hair. Even though a popular silver-curled anime protagonist often picked his nose and said, "Not all naturally curly-haired people are bad," Lola still had a soft spot for silver straight hair.Whether it was Miss Emilia's bountiful cream cake flavored silver straight hair, Caesar's silver hair that felt great to touch and provided a sense of security when tugged, a silver-haired male artist she dated before, a female politician who liked to bun her silver hair but allowed Lola to touch it, or Miss Inid tonight with her enchanting cat mint and cool basil scent...Lola couldn't resist the allure of silver h
Inid was puzzled by Caesar's question, she turned her head and asked a little strangely, "Haven't you always known?"Caesar moved closer to Enid, he could better sense the scent on her, keenly capturing and analyzing that faint jasmine fragrance.There was no mistake, the scent that only existed in Caesar's dreams was, intact, still in this world.Caesar confirmed that the other person was still alive, still perfectly well, maybe even somewhere holding a Roast piglet and taking big bites.Thinking of this, Caesar's heart started beating again, his first reaction was joy, and then, what surged up was the Alpha's special possessiveness.After permanently marking an Omega, an Alpha naturally has a unique desire to possess them. They (he/she) can't tolerate other Alphas touching the Omega, any intimacy beyond social distance can drive them crazy.Not to mention - marking.The closer to Inid, the clearer the scent Caesar smelled. This familiar, adorable scent, also left traces on Inid.Cae
When he heard Lola's familiar voice, for a moment, Caesar wanted to follow the phone line to pull her out. She was indeed still alive. It wasn't a nightmare, not a fragile illusion that would shatter upon touch. This annoying and adorable little piglet, her suicide was indeed a ruse, she wouldn't give up so easily.He wasn't dead yet, how could this little piglet be willing to commit suicide?Caesar didn't move, he quietly listened to John communicate with the person on the other end of the phone. Lola's voice was so cheerful, it was obvious that during this time without him, she was still living her happy single life.The fine pattern on the light green wall cloth was filled with golden sunlight, Caesar was still, the green leaves of the Aleppo pine at his side painted faint shadows on the glass window, and he remained sitting in the shadows.He listened as Lola revealed a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Oh? You really want me to come... well, okay, tonight, right? Where shall we meet?
