Half a month later.

The Empire’s people erupted again.

— Admiral Lucas and Secretary Luo were going to get their certificate! It would be broadcast live from the Civil Affairs Bureau!

Post-war activities had been completed, all of the star pirates had been wiped out, and the army had been reorganized.

Studies had found that the plant growing alongside UNK that Luo Ran had found could restrain the side effects of UNK, so it began to be mined again along with common ore. The Second Prince and Lucas would control the use of UNK so as to ensure that it would not be abused and lead to loss of control.

But the female worm was presently being kept in the research institute after being injured, and would be put back in the ground. There may not be UNK in the future.

In any case, the attitude of the Empire was that they would not discard it, but they would not fear it. There were ways to control it as long as they weren’t too greedy. For example, the director of the research institute, Shi Xiuqi, still insisted on imprisoning the female insect to produce UNK, so he was fired by the Second Prince without hesitation.

Presently, the Empire was beginning to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the Second Prince and the canonization ceremony for Lucas.

Aldor had held the title of Marshal from generation to generation. Originally, Lucas had to be thirty-five years old in order to inherit it from his father, but because the Marshal himself was unwilling to hold the title anymore, and because Lucas was the god of war who destroyed the star pirates, the thick shield and sword that had made the Empire’s defensive line indestructible in the past few years, he was conferred the title.

In the future, Lucas would not be the Admiral, but the Marshal.

Equivalent to another leader of the Empire.

Lucas was busy with UNK after the war, and Luo Ran not only had to assist Lucas, but was also responsible for preparing the canonization ceremony. Thus, he was so busy that he barely touched the ground as soon as he got out of the hospital bed.

But no matter how busy they were, they had to get the certificate.

XXXX: I haven’t recovered from the joy and victory of finally annihilating the star pirates, and now this! I can’t ! ! ! Ahhhh it’s so great. It’s really so great, everything is so great! At this moment, please let me say the Admiral is victorious, long live the Empire! What a wonderful love!

XXXX: Ahhhh we said every day that they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and now they are! What a wonderful love!

XXXX: I’m not a CP fan, but I’m also very excited right now. I even want to cry a little. The star pirates have finally been wiped out, and the Admiral and the Secretary can finally focus on their own lives. Just, I really appreciate Secretary Luo. Thank you for always being by this hero’s side.

The Starnet fell into unprecedented excitement.

The Second Prince Zhou Mingjing was about to ascend the throne, the star pirates were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Admiral was getting married…..!

The Starnet was filled with cheers and joy. For several days in a row, discussions about the wedding and the Admiral’s victory for the Empire were lively from morning till night.

The old was replaced with the new.

On the day of the live broadcast, it was not an exaggeration to say that almost all the people in the entire country were squatting.

XXXX: My parents skipped work to watch the live broadcast…..these people are about to retire, can you believe it?

XXXX: Ah, this…..to be reasonable, the whole company here is on holiday! I asked the people around me, and they all went on vacation. The sister and parents upstairs are too miserable…..

XXXX: My grandparents also happily asked us to broadcast it for them!

XXXX: Ahhhh sisters, it’s about to start. I’m so nervous, so nervous!

. . . . . . .

“I’m a little nervous too.”

Luo Ran sat next to Lucas, reading the comments on the web. His parents were also squatting, so……

He suddenly felt a sense of shame.

“Why are you nervous, we’re just signing our names and taking a photo.” Lucas raised his eyebrows and smiled: “You are so inexperienced.”

“…….”

Luo Ran frowned and said: “The Admiral isn’t nervous?”

“Nope.” Lucas loved to show off how capable he was in front of Luo Ran. He held the other’s hand and smiled: “Don’t be nervous, just hold my hand.”

Luo Ran gently batted Lucas’s hand away and said with a smile: “Stop making trouble, it’s about to start.”

The camera was in place. The two sat up straight at a table, and the Civil Affairs Bureau workers also brought out two small notebooks.

“Admiral and Secretary, please sign.”

Luo Ran took the pens and handed one to Lucas.

With a serious expression, Lucas reached out to take it.

—Clack!

The pen fell to the floor.

Lucas: “…….”

Luo Ran looked at him with a smile.

That look seemed to say, don’t be nervous.

Lucas’s eyes shot daggers at Luo Ran.

He leaned over to pick up the pen, took the book, and was about to sign it.

“Admiral.” Luo Ran immediately took the notebook and said: “That’s the wrong page.”

“…….”

Luo Ran tried his utmost to hide the way his lips were rising. Holding back his smile, he placed his hand under the table beside Lucas.

Luo Ran winked.

—If you’re nervous, you can hold my hand, Admiral.

Lucas: “…….”

Lucas turned his head away from the camera and gave Luo Ran a fierce look.

—I’m going to teach you a lesson when we get back.

However, what the two didn’t know was that there were cameras in all directions, in addition to the one in front of them.

So everyone on the Starnet died together.

XXXX: Ahhhh why did I click in! Why!! Is it popular to trick a dog inside and then kill it now? I thought I just came to see the national CP sign their names, but unexpectedly, I’m watching an idol love drama?! What a wonderful love!

XXXX: Thank you, I was not a CP fan before, but now I am. Their interactions are so natural, hahahaha. Look at these two Imperial elites who’ve become so innocent after falling in love, with cameras everywhere, ah!!

XXXX: I’m dead. The Admiral is iron-blooded, but he’s so fond and gentle in front of the Secretary. And I didn’t expect the Admiral to be nervous. It’s obvious that he really likes him, and the Secretary is also very gentle. What a wonderful love!

XXXX: Hahahaha it looks like they’ve turned the two chairs into one, and they don’t even notice. Isn’t it so natural? 

XXXX: Hahaha don’t talk about the Admiral being nervous anymore, haven’t you noticed? Secretary Luo’s ears are so red that they’re about to bleed. His face is calm, but his whole body is red. Why is he so cute!

And after Lucas and Luo Ran signed their names, they went to take their photo.

The two stood leaning against each other in front of a red curtain, and Lucas subconsciously put his arms around Luo Ran’s waist.

Luo Ran had specially ordered a pair of suits for today, both of them white.

One was tall and imposing, and the other was elegant and handsome.

One looked stern and serious, as if he was accomplishing some important life event, while the other smiled gently.

When the two stood together, they were radiant.

Ka-cha—

The photo of the two of them was complete.

After all was said and done, they each had a small notebook. After returning to the office, Luo Ran was pressed on the desk by Lucas.

“Little bastard, are you laughing at me?”

“No.” Luo Ran said with a smile: “It’s human nature to be nervous. I think the Admiral is very cute.”

“Call my name.”

Lucas bowed his head and kissed Luo Ran.

“By the way…..” Luo Ran pushed Lucas away and said: “I just looked at the comments on the way back…..they seemed to have seen it.”

Everyone was very excited during the live broadcast, but when it was over, they had time to re-watch the recording slowly. Turning on their microscopes one by one, they found that Luo Ran’s stomach seemed to be slightly rounded, especially when viewed from the side.

XXXX: It can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be?! Is that what I think it is?! Ao ao ao ao, my excellent heir to the Empire is finally coming?!

XXXX: Could it be that…..the Secretary has been nourishing~ and replenishing~ lately and eating a lot, so he gained weight? [covers face]

XXXX: It can’t be fat. If it’s really fat, how can it be possible to only have a fat belly? Taking a step back, let’s say that the Secretary has a special physique and only has a fat belly. Then the fat should first be on the lower abdomen, not the entire belly. Don’t ask me how I know. [crying]

Luo Ran showed the Admiral everyone screaming like groundhogs on the Starnet.

“Then let’s announce it. Now that the situation is stable, the military department can make an official announcement.” Lucas hugged Luo Ran’s waist with a smile and took him onto his lap, gently rubbing Luo Ran’s stomach with the other hand.

His and Luo Ran’s child.

It was the continuation of his and Luo Ran’s blood, and also a part of their future family.

It felt like landing on the ground, coming ashore, having a home.

He had finally walked out of the flaming battlefield and come to a place of warmth.

Luo Ran asked: “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking, if Zhou Mingyu hadn’t drugged me, would you have been my subordinate for the rest of your life?”

Luo Ran chuckled.

At the beginning Zhou Mingyu guessed that Lucas would fall to Zhou Mingjing. The two had different principles, and Zhou Mingyu had always liked Luo Ran. Therefore, he intended to use drugs to destroy Lucas’s reputation and gradually wear down the people’s trust in him, paving the way for future corruption.

Zhou Mingyu arranged for a tryst, deceived the princess, cut off the surveillance in the hotel, and put the drugs in Lucas’s drink. Everything was ready.

But Zhou Mingyu didn’t expect that Lucas had a strong physique. As a 3S Alpha, the drug was not only non-addictive to him, but the onset was delayed.

The people on Zhou Mingyu’s side saw that Lucas hadn’t had symptoms for a long time, and didn’t dare to take any action.

Then Luo Ran went upstairs, catching up with Lucas’s belated attack by accident.

“No way.” Luo Ran said with a smile: “I think…..even if such a thing didn’t happen, it would have been something else. Even in the worst case, we would be together until we retired, and when we were old, it would only make sense to marry each other.”

After all, they only had each other.

“That sounds pretty miserable.” Lucas raised his eyebrows.

Lucas was sitting on the office chair, with Luo Ran on his lap. Luo Ran put his arms around Lucas’s neck and rubbed against him, saying: “En, I would work for you the rest of my life. So miserable.”

In response, Lucas said vigilantly: “What do you mean? Is there anything you need from me? Let me tell you, I’m not buying it.”

Luo Ran said: “My spiritual state isn’t fully recovered, but I still have to work. I’m tired and need spiritual treatment.”

—Spiritual treatment would get twice the result with half the effort after a lifetime mark, and the effect was so great that it would help Luo Ran recover quickly.

Lucas tentatively asked: “Then I’ll give you a vacation?” 

Luo Ran still had to help Lucas read official documents during holidays, and even at home, so this was meaningless.

Luo Ran smiled and said nothing, just burying his head in Lucas’s neck.

Omegas had a special physique, which was different from a Beta. Intercourse was not affected during pregnancy. After all, an Omega also needed Alpha pheromones to prevent a miscarriage.

Especially for a 3S like Luo Ran. Half a month later, he was ready.

“Ranran…..” Lucas took a deep breath and said: “Are you sure? Once the lifetime mark is set, it can’t be washed away. You know the consequences.”

“En.”

“You’re sure?” Lucas asked again: “Don’t you want to think about it?”

His tone was a little solemn.

Lucas knew that as an Alpha, he had an advantage in terms of gender, so he didn’t want to act rashly.

“Lucas……”

Luo Ran grabbed the tie around Lucas’s neck and gave it a light tug. He raised his eyebrows and said: “Are you not okay with it?”

He had been taking the medicine for half a month, so why would he have to think about it more?

“…….”

“Wu…..”

Lucas put one hand on the back of Luo Ran’s head and kissed his hair, while his other hand started to wander.

Lucas asked hoarsely: “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure?”

“En.” Luo Ran blushed and hugged Lucas, saying: “But for the sake of the baby, you…..you take it easy.”

“Okay.”

Lucas undid Luo Ran’s hair tie.

With a swish, Luo Ran’s hair loosened and fell over his shoulders messily.

Lucas tied Luo Ran’s wrists with the hair tie.

Luo Ran: “ ? ”

Lucas raised an eyebrow and said: “Didn’t you tell me to take it easy? So don’t struggle, I don’t play well.”

“…….”

Lucas picked Luo Ran up horizontally and walked toward the bedroom.

. . . . . . .

Two months later, the Imperial wedding of the century arrived.

The national CP — through the efforts of all parties, the wedding of Marshal Lucas and Secretary Luo Ran was prepared in a short period of time.

The wedding took place on a planet full of flowers, and all the important figures in the Empire and the galaxy were in attendance.

The best man and the bridesmaid were Adjutant Freeman and Rong Duo, and everyone teased them, trying to match them up.

On this day, the citizens squatted in the live broadcast room as usual.

In the video, the sky was purple-blue with clusters of nebulae, and the sides of the elevated platform where they swore their oaths were wreathed in purple wisterias.

It was a military wedding after all, and the scene was not very extravagant, but with the natural wooden arbor, the wisterias, and the decorations, it still looked very grand.

It was finally time to take their oaths.

Lucas and Luo Ran stood on the elevated platform together.

Lucas was dressed up for once. His hair was neatly combed, and he wore a close-fitting black suit. In the words of the adjutants, he looked like he was putting on airs, and was completely unrecognizable.

Luo Ran wore his usual white suit, but the accessories were more refined, and the clothes of the two were studded with jewelry.

Lucas held the manuscript, stood up straight, and said resoundingly: “Before the god of love and all the witnesses today, I, Lucas Aldor, am willing to marry Luo Ran. Now and forever, in good times and bad, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, in happiness and sadness. I will always love you, cherish you, and be true to you until death do us part.”

Luo Ran also said: “In front of the god of love and all the witnesses today, I, Luo Ran, am willing to marry Lucas Aldor.  Now and forever, in good times and bad, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, in happiness and sadness.  I will always love you, cherish you, and be true to you until death do us part.”

And forevermore.

— The End
