Chapter 226: 8.33

Dane Roderick checked his watch and sighed, it had been almost five hours, and General Vega and Altair hadn't returned from their private time together. But after five hours thirty minutes, Altair returned with his mech alone with a slight blush on his cheek.

He cleared his throat and said, "General Vega is currently unavailable. He is not in good health after the war, probably too tired after getting attacked too many times."

'Getting attacked too many times? But General Vega didn't seem to be hurt when we won the war a few hours ago…' the soldiers wondered. 

Dane Roderick glared at his son. His stupid son must've done it too much until General Vega couldn't maintain his consciousness.

"Bring me Rigel. He is not a prince anymore now," Altair commanded. The Lieutenants brought Rigel to Altair. Rigel struggled, but he was just a powerless omega compared to these powerful alphas and betas. 

Altair looked down at Rigel and said, "General Vega commanded me to give you leeway. I really want to cut your head here, but he said that you are still a human, and he only kills Zergs."

Altair had a mocking grin, "Rigel Constellar, you will be a small noble in the farthest outskirt, near the border of Zergs nest. You will be given protection and provided with daily necessity, but you are not allowed to mate or marry."

Rigel looked up in horror. He was still an omega. There would be times where he could be in heat, and if he was not allowed to mate or marry…

"P—Please spare me! General Vega has served under me for so long, I know that he will forgive me! He is also an omega, right? How could he do this to another omega?! Where is his conscience!"

Rigel turned his head, and his eyes darted towards his people, "Do you think this is just?! My people, I deserve better than this! We deserve better than this!"

…

No answer. The soldiers knew that they were no match against Altair or General Vega, especially after General Lot and many other Lieutenants were dead on their side. 

Rigel was used to be pampered and loved. Now that everyone turned their backs on him, he could only stare in lost, then he broke down crying on the ground.

The days after the war ended were no less busy than usual day. In fact, it was even busier because the bureau and ministry had a massive overhaul under the order of the new king, King Vega Satellarnus, their first omega king ever.

King Vega Satellarnus personally managed the bureau and ministry, and soon, he became way too busy to manage the military. Thus, he placed the military to the new General, the youngest general ever in the kingdom, General Altair Roderick. 

The capital was now located in Sweren as it was better for the whole kingdom development. 

Altair watched his omega, who worked nonstop to deal with the bureau's documents and manage the ministry like a good king. He hugged King Vega from behind and rubbed his chin on King Vega's shoulder, "Honey, you've been working way too hard. It's not good for our baby."

"Don't worry, I have great strength. Our baby will be fine," King Vega replied.

Altair looked at the three months old baby bump on King Vega's belly, and he sighed, "When will we get married? I've been waiting for so long."

King Vega frowned in response and flicked Altair's forehead, "Wait until everything is stable first, probably in two months. We cannot let the kingdom fall into ruin because of our ego."

"We don't need that grand wedding! Just… just two of us with my family and few close aides!" Altair insisted. He honestly couldn't wait anymore, he thought they would marry right after they did it, but King Vega kept on delaying it again and again.

"Do you actually love me? Why would you need to delay—"

Chu. 

Altair was stunned when King Vega kissed his lips gently, "Wait a bit more, okay? I also want to marry you, but there are people we need to manage first. Don't you want a good future for our baby?"

Altair stared at his omega. He was seeking assurance on those eyes. It was said that the fated pair could read each other's mind and could understand each other deeply. Maybe Altair already knew that King Vega was doing this for them and their future children, but he was just insecure and impatient.

"… I will wait… but I will stand by your side every day, every hour and every minute!" Altair insisted, "I don't know if other alphas will try to covet you when I'm not looking!"

"Wha… that's unreasonable!"

"I don't care!" Altair hugged King Vega possessively, "I want to protect you and our baby… so I will stay here until you finish everything!"

[Sigh, so childish…]

[Pupa: Well, he is still a nineteen-year-old alpha who met his fated pair at such a young age, and his fated pair already bears his baby. Of course, he will be insecure and possessive.]

[Anyway, what is the current Breakmeter?]

[Pupa: Breakmeter is 80%.]

[So this is that kind of world, huh…]

[Pupa: What do you mean?]

[Javier's world, I think I will stay in this world for a while.]

Altair sat on the sofa and crossed his arm. He refused to go to sleep and insisted on waiting for King Vega to finish his work first. After an hour, General Vega finally finished everything and stretched his body. 

"Altair, I've finished today's documents, let's sleep—" General Vega looked at the man on the sofa. He was already sleeping soundly, even when as far as sleep talking.

"Protect… omega… baby… zzz…" 

"Aish and you said that you want to protect me," King Vega rolled his eyes and carried Altair in his arm, "You're lucky that I'm your omega, Altair Roderick."

King Vega carried his sleeping alpha to the bed and kissed him before going to sleep.

"Everything has been prepared?" Altair asked the servants around. He scurried around in a hurry and then returned back to the bridal chamber anxiously.

"Honey, everything has been prepared. Nothing will go wrong, I guarantee!" Altair said. But after he said that, he looked again in the direction of the wedding venue outside of Sweren Palace. Then he hurried to recheck everything, from the food, the aisle when they would walk later, and many other unnecessary things.

King Vega rolled his eyes and caught Altair's wrist, "Sit down and relax. You are too anxious."

True, Altair was really anxious. Because he had been expecting this for so long, especially since now that his omega was six months pregnant, of course, he would be worried.

"Sit here, and relax with me. Remember that you promise you would walk the aisle with me together?"

"Of course! I will walk to the aisle with you! I will not let you walk alone. Just because you have no parents doesn't mean that you don't have a family!" Altair proclaimed boldly, "I am your soon-to-be husband, and we will have our first baby soon!"

King Vega smiled and kissed Altair, "Then we shall wait."
