When Andika came to the capital of the Empire for the first time, what he thought was…..the capital had too many radiant people.

Secretary Luo, Admiral Lucas, the princes……they were all confident and beautiful people.

But he was different. He was an illegitimate son, an accident that came about when the king slept with a woman after the main wife’s death.

He had many excellent Alpha brothers. And there was only one female in the family — his much-loved older sister.

He was too redundant, and his birth was also very humble.

Since he was a child, he had learned to read people’s faces, and was weak, timid, and calculating.

Andika felt that he was like a rat in the gutter.

“Hu……”

Inside the main hall was a banquet full of people making toasts to each other, while Andika hid in the grass in the back garden, gasping for breath.

What happened……?

“You…..are you okay?” Andika saw a tall man approaching him. His tone was concerned, and he was also radiant.

. . . . . . .

After that, the man, Lu Cheng, the adjutant of the Imperial Admiral, came to look for him at the embassy.

“I, I’m an Omega, I don’t mind. You, don’t, don’t bother with me.” Andika pressed himself to the wall and lowered his head, saying cautiously and with a little nervousness: “Don’t, don’t come looking for me.”

“How can you not mind? I put a temporary mark on you and took advantage of you.” Lu Cheng frowned and said: “I can’t be so irresponsible. You can ask me to pay compensation, and if you still want me…..I’ll marry you. I can do it.”

Marry…..?!

Andika took another few steps back, desperately trying to plaster himself to the wall. “Adjutant Lu! Getting married is not……a trivial matter.”

Just because of the accident Andika caused, he would marry him. Andika was worthless to Lu Cheng.

“I know it’s not a trivial matter.” Lu Cheng scratched his head, saying in an earnest and embarrassed manner: “I know I’m taking advantage of you by saying this…..you’re a prince.”

Ah…..?

“But I want to tell you that I fell in love with you at first sight! I really like you, and won’t take advantage of you. I’ll treat you well in the future! Really, I mean it.”

Ah…..??

Andika couldn’t believe it: “Love at first sight?”

Lu Cheng repeated: “Yes! I really mean it.”

“Why?”

Lu Cheng was taken aback. He paused and scratched his head: “I don’t know, I just like you……maybe because you’re really good-looking and cute. I, I feel that you are very good.”

Ah…..???

Andika’s breathing was rough. “You…..you’re lying to me.”

“No, I’m really not.” Lu Cheng said anxiously: “I’m really sorry I took advantage of you, but I…..ah, just……”

Neither of them spoke anymore.

. . . . . . . .

In the end, the two of them did marry, and in a grand manner befitting a marriage alliance between two countries. Andika was the star of the show for the first time, and was fawned over and flattered by others.

Andika also moved from his small room in Luobing to the Empire.

Lu Cheng’s house was in the suburbs. It was an independent villa, not too big and not too small, and looked very comfortable.

“Sorry, ah…..it’s not as good as a palace.” Lu Cheng helped Andika with his luggage, saying with some embarrassment: “But I cleaned it up very well, and then cleaned it again before you came.”

“It’s all right.” Andika went upstairs with Lu Cheng supporting him by the arm.

He had recently been in detox, using medication and physical restraints, so his spirit was very bad and his feet were weak.

“I’ve also invited a doctor to the manor, who can take care of you at any time.”

Andika grabbed Lu Cheng’s sleeve nervously and said in a low voice: “You’re……you’re not going home?”

“I work in the military department, but I will naturally come back after work.” Lu Cheng rubbed the back of Andika’s head and said: “How could it be possible for me to get married and still sleep at the military department? So miserable.”

Everything was settled. Lu Cheng and Andika hung up all their clothes together, and then Lu Cheng went back to military headquarters to hand in some official documents.

Andika was pleased to hang his clothes with Lu Cheng’s, and soon after began to tour his new home.

His joy was evident to both the doctor and the housekeeper.

Andika was extremely excited.

He had a family now. He had Lu Cheng.

He suddenly had many, many things, so much that it felt unreal, as if it could be gone tomorrow.

Andika visited the bathroom. He pushed open the door, but froze when he stood in front of the full-length mirror.

He saw what he looked like — stick-thin, pale-faced, with dark patches under his eyes. He looked sick and lifeless, with eyes that were a bit cloudy.

Andika was aware of his own condition. Nowadays, he panted even going up and down the stairs. The drug withdrawal had taken away almost all his strength.

What a failure.

Bam—!

Andika slammed the bathroom door shut.

“Your Highness?” The housekeeper stepped forward and said with concern: “Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

The housekeeper was appointed by the Imperial family to take care of the married prince from Luobing, and was responsible and professional.

“N-No, it’s nothing.” Andika returned to the living room and sat down, saying: “I’ll wait for Lu Cheng to come back…..”

The housekeeper then made Andika some soothing tea.

Andika waited until evening when Lu Cheng returned, and his speed was indeed quite fast.

“Lu Cheng……!”

As soon as Lu Cheng opened the door, he was embraced by the fragrant Omega, and was a little flustered for a moment.

Andika grabbed Lu Cheng’s collar and said: “Lu Cheng, shall we make a lifetime mark? Will you mark me permanently?”

……??

Lu Cheng was stunned.

He couldn’t laugh or cry. Hugging Andika, he said: “What’s the matter?”

“You give me a lifetime mark!” Andika was a little anxious.

“This……” Lu Cheng explained gently: “A lifetime mark needs to be prepared for in advance……”

“No need to prepare! I can do it.” Andika hugged Lu Cheng without letting go.

“Even if you can, I can’t. My profession…..”

Before he could finish speaking, Andika burst into tears.

Lu Cheng was startled.

Andika simply cried, sobbing so hard that it seemed like he was venting something.

Lu Cheng hurriedly patted the man on the back, and coaxed him in a panic: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Tell me what’s wrong? Ah? Don’t cry…..”

“You give me…..” Andika choked out, “…..a lifetime mark.”

“Listen to me, you calm down.” Lu Cheng could probably guess what was going on. He said sharply: “Listen to me.”

“The reason I won’t give one to you is because I could die at any moment, understand? On the battlefield, my duty is to protect my superior and charge into battle. My life is of secondary importance to the Empire and the Admiral, which is my duty and honor. You…..”

Then Andika began to cry louder.

“Andika…..” Lu Cheng was completely confused. He hugged this person and kissed him indiscriminately. 

“Don’t cry, don’t cry……”

Andika’s emotions had completely collapsed, and Lu Cheng could do nothing about it. In the end, the doctor had to come to restrain Andika and inject him with a sedative.

Finally, after a long sleep, Lu Cheng coaxed him for a long time after he got up and this matter passed with difficulty.

. . . . . . .

A week later, Lu Cheng took Andika to military headquarters.

Andika held Lu Cheng’s hand tightly and asked: “What are you going to do here? Can I join you?”

Lu Cheng smiled, but didn’t speak, and only took him to an office.

“Hello.”

Andika saw Luo Ran standing by, taking inventory.

He’s radiant, thought Andika.

Luo Ran was not an Alpha. He looked gentle, and had once served Andika food, so Andika wasn’t very afraid of him.

Luo Ran smiled and said: “Adjutant Lu told me that Your Highness doesn’t have much to do at home, so I asked him to have Your Highness come over and help me take inventory. Can you?”

“Yes……!” Andika said, a little flattered: “Can I……?”

“You help Secretary Luo here, and I’ll go and train with the Admiral.” Lu Cheng patted Andika on the shoulder.

“You stay with me…..” Andika was a little nervous.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be right next door. Secretary Luo will laugh if you’re like this.”

“…….” Andika pursed his lips.

One afternoon passed in this way.

Looking at the documents Andika handed to him, Luo Ran was a little surprised. He said: “Adjutant Lu was right. You’re good at math and have a keen eye for numbers.”

Andika had even found and sorted out all the mistakes and omissions in the documents very efficiently.

“Really……?” Andika was also surprised.

“Really, thank you so much.” Luo Ran said with a smile: “I’ve also heard that you, as a prince, have very good cooking skills. Adjutant Lu gave us a taste of the cake you made before. It was very delicious.”

Andika was taken aback for a moment, then said happily: “Then I’ll make it again, and bring it for you to eat.”

“Okay, ah.” Luo Ran said: “Adjutant Lu has a lot of documents to go over. You can come to the office and help him in the future, or you can also come and make some small snacks.”

Luo Ran wasn’t worried about information leaking. Under his management, all of the military department’s data had been scattered and concealed. Except for a few key people, those below had no idea what they were calculating and sorting out.

“Okay!” Andika nodded his head as if pounding garlic.

Luo Ran raised his eyebrows and said: “Then in the future, the adjutant will be fortunate.”

Andika couldn’t be happier.

Although it was only a little, he seemed to have gained some value.

After another month, Andika went into heat.

Lu Cheng was reading a document when he suddenly felt someone hug him from behind.

Lu Cheng smelled the strong scent of berries on Andika’s body, and paused, then said: “Your heat…..?”

“En.”

Lu Cheng pulled the man to his side and kissed him.

. . . . . . . . .

“Ah……!”

Andika sat in front of Lu Cheng, and as he pushed hard and actively opened the genital cavity, Lu Cheng entered.

It was Andika who forced Lu Cheng to stuff it in, and the pain caused him to lay against Lu Cheng’s shoulder. His limbs were weak, his eyes were full of gold stars, and he almost passed out.

“Andika…..!” Lu Cheng gritted his teeth. “You……!”

He’d been had!

Andika’s condition had been getting increasingly better this month, and he had almost forgotten about it.

“En.” Andika was trembling all over, and grinned as he said: “You’re the one who’s been had.”

“You can’t escape.”

After saying so, Andika passed out.

“You……” Lu Cheng hugged him, reaching out to gently rub the back of his head.

This was really…..

“I’ll take good care of you in the future,” Lu Cheng said in a whisper.
