Chapter 75 - Retired Empress Nehand Achebe

After the reconciliation, Gyasi and Mu Liang spent some quality time together, after three days the rumor of the imperial prince Gyasi's devotion to the groom was once again the subject of gossip among the nobles.

Another reason for gossip was that Gyasi was protecting Prince Mu from meeting the retired empress, it was already widespread that the retired empress didn't support recessive omegas due to the retired emperor's favorite concubine.

The nobles are divided into three factions, the current emperor's faction that unites the support of the former emperor and the nobles who supported the retired empress; the second faction is of the oldest nobles who supported Kayin and the military part of the imperial family, these are the so-called supporters of Gyasi; the third faction is neutral and serves only to "monitor" the imperial family and the military.

Not to mention the judiciary and the large conglomerates, but they are independent of who is in power, they would be the true neutral power.

Because of this, the relationship between Gyasi and the late Empress, who is his biological mother, is bad. Since the mother was much more concerned with Ade than with the other two children. The tip of many times the young princes (Chad and Gyasi) fall into danger and the mother is more focused on creating the future emperor.

These were one of many fights between the former emperor and the retired empress. Which led Gyasi to be raised by his grandfather Kayin and to learn to be a strong fighter, which consequently forced him to enter the military career instead of being interested in palace politics.

In the Blood Palace the retired Empress, Nehand Achebe, was walking furiously back and forth in her room, her eldest daughter Nyashia Azikiwe was sitting on the bed watching her furious mother walk as she grumbled.

"How can that ungrateful son treat me like that ... Besides, a recessive omega ... he doesn't know how much I hate this kind of classless people who only know how to seduce alphas with their pheromones ..." Nehand Achebe he said disconnected phrases as she stopped walking and sat in an armchair facing the coast window for her daughter.

"Mother, you must calm down. What's the use of fighting with my older brother now? Isn't the pressure he puts up with this business of marriage and having a child no longer enough? Be more reasonable," Nyashia said softly, but her mother didn't respond so well.

Nehand Achebe snorted as if her daughter's words were absurd. She well knew that her son Gyasi had more options than marrying a recessive omega who was too weak to have children in the short term.

She knew that her son must have been angry and disappointed when she pressured him to marry after being harassed by others when he was younger, and after he was accused several times of coveting his older brother's throne.

His youngest son just wanted to rest and relax like an unimportant imperial prince, but he was thrown in the middle of this imperial politics, in addition to forcing Gyasi to pursue a military career and put him in several frontline battles aiming at the life of the young Zerg at the time.

Unfortunately, Nehand had his hands tied trying to protect the life of Ade, now the current emperor, and she preferred that Gyasi was away from the nobles in order not to have his life targeted in a nefarious way (poisoning or murder), however, it was no use since Gyasi was involved in the problems of the imperial family again.

Furthermore, Gyasi was forced to return from his mission shortly after succeeding and leaving his crew behind, who are his comrades-in-arms, which must have made Gyasi even angrier, and he wanted to shut up the nobles and do she strays from the subject.

"Besides, the weakest recessive omega in the entire galactic system ... One that we don't know if we can have children or not ... a dirty recessive omega" Nehand Achebe continued to complain.

She knew she was being petty and unfair, after all, the young omega who was an imperial prince of another nation didn't want the marriage, but due to several events, he was now from the Diablo Empire and had already been marked Gyasi. However, she had a wound in her heart when her husband and partner exchanged her for a recessive omega.

The former emperor, Ehione, might not have loved her and stayed with her by political marriage, but Nehand loved her husband with all his heart, but he never got that love back. How could she not feel bitter and hurt in such a situation?

Nehand didn't force a marriage with the emperor and neither did her family, however at the time she was the only candidate whose family was neutral and powerful, of course, that the ex-emperor needed her to balance the power of the nobles. The least Nehand asked for, even though he knew the situation, was that the ex-emperor should have respect for her. Of course, as a young dreamer of her time, she dreamed that one day she would be loved if she showed her good and hardworking side to the ex-emperor; unfortunately, this was only Nehand's positive thought.

"Have you seen your brother's fiancé?"  Nehand asked after taking a few deep breaths to calm down a little.

"No. Apparently, he had been brought in from the hospital after recovering from a near-death attempt. Then there was a conflict in the room of imperial brother Ade, which caused the bridegroom to be wounded. When he woke up Gyasi kept him busy for a long time, then the omega had to recover for the rest of the week, while Gyasi was with his grandfather in the military battalion ... I heard that Gyasi went back to the omega's room three days ago, and they are still together now" Nyashia commented with a playful chuckle at the end.

"Your brother has already lost his mind," Nehand said, shaking her head in disappointment.

"This is good since he was forced to get married, that he can at least choose someone he likes"

"That was very fast, we don't know if they love each other or if it's just the pheromones at work" Nehand didn't want to agree with her daughter. She didn't believe in love, after all, they were people who were in power, this kind of love between Alpha and Omega was just fairy tales for them, the cruel reality didn't allow fairy tales.

"I'm not going to get into the fight between you two" Nyashia said with a shrug, after all, she felt it would be better not to put herself on anyone's side. On one side was her mother who loved her from the bottom of her heart and on the other was her third older brother who took care of her and guided her on the Mecha's path, even though others preferred not to see a princess getting dirty with engine grease.

"When will your brother's fiancé be able to see me?" Nehand asked changing the subject.

"The cousin said that it was only after a week or more to be sure. So, it must be soon, if Gyasi doesn't overdo it yet again. Mother, you must call him in private and make everything as simple as possible. His mental power is too unstable, if any of the nobles dare to play with him just to provoke, it can cause disaster. In addition, his fight with Gyasi has already spread within the court and to the nobles. Chewe did the favor to spread the word that you would be resting for a week to gain more time without hurting anyone's honor"

"Is it that serious?" Nehand asked, her heart a little anxious. As omega, she well knew that an uncontrolled mental power was very dangerous, she ignored the rest of her daughter's sentence, she didn't care now that the nobles thought of her, after all, she has already retired from the position of empress. She felt a little sorry for her son's fiancé and feared for Gyasi's life.

"He tried to hurt people at the hospital when they said that he and Gyasi couldn't be intimate for a long time ... Right after Gyasi marked him ... Then Duke Adowa and Marshal Iyasu went to tease Gyasi and ended up hurting his fiancé..."

Nyashia told the things that happened to her mother, who became even more concerned about her stubborn third child.

"This omega needs the training to control his mental power, can anyone teach him? What is the human empire doing out there? " Nehand asked, livid with rage.

"His power is very great and is controlled by psychotropic drugs according to the investigation. Which makes him furious and makes him have bad judgments. To make his body worse, you may not be able to withstand his mental power..."

Once again the daughter told about the many "secrets" of Mu Liang to Gyasi's mother, it's not known what Mu Liang knew that everything the original did than he was being discussed by his future mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Most likely he wouldn't want to see them anytime soon due to shame, as the background of the original Mu Liang is quite colorful.

"Mom, not everyone has refined control like yours. Where were they going to get someone like you to teach Prince Mu? Isn't he very pitiful? My poor third brother, in addition to having to fight the court's schemes, he still has to worry that the groom doesn't end up killing himself..." Nyashia said everything in a soft and weak tone as if she felt a lot of empathy for Mu Liang.

"You can stop right there ... I know what you're doing! I'm not going to become a mentor to that little weak recessive omega" Nehand said rolling her eyes, despite having a smile, as the daughter couldn't see her mother, she stopped talking.

The daughter, on the other hand, was smiling too because she realized that the mother didn't use the word "disgusting" or "useless" to refer to her third brother's fiancé. This meant that her mother at least didn't hate Mu Liang despite his gender, even she had some sympathy for the young recessive omega. Her goal was accomplished, as she didn't want the third brother and mother to continue fighting.

In the end, she had to act like an adult between these two tough-headed people.

At two, they started talking again, but only about common things, and avoided talking about Mu Liang and Gyasi.

Nehand Achebe knew he needs to keep her eyes on Mu Liang, wasn't it the best thing to become the young man's mentor?

Although she was a woman who was heartbroken and behaved arrogantly, she had a very soft heart when it came to talented people, but who didn't have the right guidance to shine. Even more, Mu Liang had been cheated a good deal of times in his life and almost died for it.

In the end, despite Gyasi having a bad opinion of his mother, she was a wise person who gave a lot of support to the Diablo Empire, but who had to act arrogant and cold when he was in power, now getting rid of this character was something difficult.
