ABO Cadets

Chapter 051, Origin

Outside of Rosen's apartment, Caesar had White Feather shrink down into its humanoid form and steadily land on the ground. They had just arrived at the visitor verification area outside the apartment's door. Soon, the face of a middle-aged man appeared on the screen in front of him, Mr. Wilde, the butler of Rosen's apartment.

Wilder smiled and said, "So it turned out to be His Royal Highness, may I ask if there is anything I can do for you?"

Caesar endured his furious heart and said as calmly as possible, "I have a pressing matter and need to see the Marshal, I'll trouble you to notify him."

The smile on Wilde's face could not be shaken by thunder, "Apologies Your Royal Highness, as for the Marshal, he is already asleep. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Or possibly let the Marshal come to the Imperial Palace to see you tomorrow?"

Caesar: "......"

— Sleeping? This is obviously an excuse!

As a prince, this was the first time in Caesar's life that he was stopped outside a door and refused entrance like this!

However, Marshal Rosen is in an honorable position at the end of the day. As the head of the Glory Legion and an important high-ranking military officer in the military, his private residence is fully covered with a laser defense net. People without permission cannot rashly enter. Rosen's entire apartment is comparable to a large park. Looking out from the gateway entrance, you can only see a wide expanse of lawns, flower beds and trees. Even the shadow of the villa where the owner lives can't be seen.

Thinking of Lin Yuan in that bedroom soundly asleep on the bed, Caesar felt a cluster of hot anger rise from the bottom of his heart.

Your Omega has been taken away by another Alpha, this simply cannot be tolerated!

Even though Marshal Rosen is considered to be an elder, in today's day and age the human life expectancy has already exceeded 300 years of age. With the Marshal's age, he can still be considered to be in the category of a golden bachelor. In addition, Lin Yuan has always really admired him and with Lin Yuan's pure personality, he clearly completely lacks any sense of danger. If he has any thoughts about Lin Yuan, the consequences would be simply unimaginable......

Caesar tightly clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down. Then, through White Feather's communicator, he requested communication with Black Dragon.

In the villa, Black Dragon's golden eyes flashed for a moment and said: "Master, there is a request for communication from White Feather."

Rosen raised the corner of his lips and put through the communicator.

White Feather excitedly shouted at his side: "Master Master! If the Marshal does not let us in, we will resolutely charge right through!"

With the Master, even the Imperial Palace can be charged through, not to say the Marshal's private apartment. White Feather suddenly felt very arrogant and proud. He is definitely the most impressive S-Class mech in the history of the Empire. Firmly breaking through all kinds of places is simply a piece of cake to him! This glorious deed should definitely be written into the Mech Association's annals! The hero rescues the beauty by resolutely charging through Rosen's apartment complex, getting ahold of Predecessor Suzaku and saving the day and what not is simply too romantic!

Compared with the excitement of White Feather, Caesar contrariwise quickly calmed down and looked at the image of the man with a serious face. Caesar took a deep breath and calmly said: "Marshal, I have some words to tell you, would you please let me in."

Rosen raised his eyebrows and did not respond.

Caesar continued to maintain his elegant demeanor and said: "In fact, I can use White Feather and break right through. Those laser nets above the apartment can't do anything to White Feather. However, I don't want to do that. Because if the matter of me breaking into the Marshal's apartment gets out to other generals and someone who uses their head carefully investigates it, it's highly likely that Xiao Yuan's identity would be exposed." Caesar paused, "I think the best way is to pretend that I have a matter to drop in and pay you a visit for. We can calmly sit down and have a proper chat. This is just for the sake of Xiao Yuan, you see?"

— At last, he had gathered a bit of brain and no impulse.

— However, if he dares to be impulsive, Black Dragon has long since been here on standby. The tail of the mech connected to the man swept out and unconditionally spoke no objections.

Rosen nodded. "Well then, there are some words to come in and say." The apartment gate was immediately opened with the owner's highest authority.

Caesar said a noise of "thanks" and immediately piloted White Feather into the apartment.

Rosen shut off the communicator and turned back to look at the son on his bed. He asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan, do you like this little prince?"

Lin Yuan, who was sound asleep, totally couldn't hear what his father was asking, he took his face and buried it into a pillow, lightly snoring.

Rosen faintly smiled, he reached out and tugged up the quilt for his son. He said softly: "Don't worry, even if he has marked you, so long as you don't like him, naturally there is a father who will back you up."

The words Rosen spoke directly put his treasured son is put above all of his principles.

— If my son is not happy, Caesar also doesn't get to be happy.

— So what about being a prince, so what about marking him? If my son does not look at you, even the Heavenly King would also have to move aside.

Rosen had just barely assumed the position of a father, he doesn't know how he should show love to his son. Rosen had of course been terribly distressed by his son lodging under another person's roof for a full 18 years. What's more, his son's Omega identity has already been exposed and Caesar had even secretly given him a mark without a second thought?

At this time, Caesar had rushed to the door, definitely coming to court death!

After entering the apartment, Caesar charged into the villa as fast as possible.

At the door, White Feather sunk to the ground, and when they walked to the front of the door, they found the door was open. Obviously, the Marshal was waiting for him.

This kind of "opening the door waiting for you to arrive" position...... Why does it seem so wrong?

Caesar ignored the strangeness of it in his heart and slowly walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he caught sight of Marshal Rosen sitting on the sofa. Even though he did not wear any special military uniform, he gave out a strong sense of oppression. However, as the man with domestic clothing swept his indifferent gaze over himself, it had nevertheless made Caesar's scalp go unbearably numb.

This feeling of being "examined" is especially unpleasant!

Caesar lightly clenched his fist out of sight, trying to cover up the strong anger and vinegar in his heart as much as possible. With an unperturbed facial expression, he walked up to face the man and said calmly: "Marshal, I will pick up Xiao Yuan and take him back, where is he?"

Rosen insipidly said: "He fell asleep."

"......" Caesar's fingers tightened themselves, "Marshal, I will still bring him back to the hotel. He has not returned all night, it might cause doubts to arise from instructors and classmates. "

Rosen facial expression was just as cynical as before, looking at Caesar he said: "I had Wilde pick up Xiao Yuan and bring him over here in secret and not one person has been aware of it. As for the matter of him not coming back for the whole night, you dwell in the room with him, if you don't say anything, who would know?"

"......"

Secretly picked up to come here? What does he want to do after all?!

Didn't you just recently go out to have dinner the day before? As a Marshal busy with military affairs, having his butler pick up a student in secret to bring to his home, but also in the situation of still knowing that the other person is Omega......

This absolutely not simple, right?!

Caesar was silent for a moment, and somewhat annoyed said: "Marshal, I have not meddled with you getting close to Xiao Yuan from the beginning. I had thought that you only appreciated his talents as an elder. You are willing to help him hide his circumstances. I am extremely grateful for you — but if you have any other thoughts about him, I advise you to give up as soon as possible!

Just as a wild animal uses its tail to surround its belongings to put in its territory, Caesar has clearly already determined Lin Yuan to be his Omega ever since he spoke out, it's a demonstration of the Alpha in front of you!

The corner of Rosen's lips rose slightly for a second, "Why should I give up?"

Caesar calmly greeted Rosen's gaze. "Because I like Xiao Yuan, I have already marked him, he is my Omega!"

Rosen's face abruptly grew completely cold: "You went and marked him, is he really yours? You completely marked him?"

Caesar said: "......although it is a temporary mark, I am serious about him!"

Caesar should rejoice that he did not have a momentary urge to completely possess and mark Lin Yuan. Otherwise, Rosen would have already gotten ahold of him and chopped him up into bits of waste.

Rosen faintly said: "Was he in a voluntary situation?"

Caesar: "......"

This question simply drew blood on the first prick.

Caesar was rather somewhat embarrassed in his heart. When Lin Yuan was marked, Lin Yuan was completely unaware of it. But at this moment in time of opposing one another with equal harshness, he absolutely must not show one hint of weakness in front of Rosen.

Caesar thickened his face to say: "It was."

Rosen asked in a low voice: "You mean that Xiao Yuan, he likes you too?"

Caesar continued to keep a straight face and said: "Of course he likes me."

Rosen: "......"

At that moment, Rosen suddenly really wanted to ask, you lie more than you tell the truth, did you learn your acting skills from your Father?

— Trent has taught such a good son!

Coming into contact with Caesar's undisturbed gaze, Rosen pursed his eyebrows somewhat displeasedly, "Have you made up your mind to be with Xiao Yuan?"

Caesar hurriedly said, "Of course!"

Rosen stared straight into Caesar's eyes and spoke one word at a time: "Caesar, as a prince, did you completely forget the rules that you need to consider when choosing a partner? Lin Yuan is just an orphan and the fact is you are the sole heir to the Empire. You think that with your honorable status, people would respect you marrying an Omega of unknown origins ?"

Caesar earnestly said: "You are right, Xiao Yuan is an orphan. He does not have an illustrious family background to back him, but I like this one. His status and background have nothing to do with it. As far as I am concerned, he is the partner I want to protect for all my life, I believe that my foresight will not be wrong."

When Caesar mentioned this, his gaze had unexpectedly become gentle and soft, "Xiao Yuan grew up in such a difficult environment, but he is still so optimistic and kindhearted. He has always been very hard-working and he's awfully strong. I like him, even more, I love him dearly. I can guarantee that even if the royal family makes things difficult for him one day, I will absolutely use all of my strength at the risk of my life to prevent him from suffering any bit of grievance. I will not only give him the proper respect he deserves, but also give him the most open freedom."

Caesar raised his head to look at Rosen, his voice both calm and firm: "If one day in the future, I become this Empire's King, Lin Yuan would be the only Queen in my eyes."

— The only Queen in his eyes? The partner you want to protect your entire life?

The words of Caesar were completely firm and calm, he is clearly not just acting out a script. Since he has at last spoken about this, Rosen also has no reason to doubt his sincerity.

Rosen couldn't help but feel somewhat amazed from the bottom of his heart. He really only wanted to feel out Caesar. He didn't expect that Caesar's feelings for Xiao Yuan would be so deep. He had not only set his mind on Xiao Yuan, but he also had such a long-term plan for their future......

—An Imperial Queen?

His ignorant son is currently burying his face in a pillow, remarkably sound asleep.

His son, who hasn't yet to fully understand such things properly, perhaps does not know what romantic love is, he obviously also does not know Caesar's intentions.

This guy, Caesar, is obviously only wishfully thinking.

Rosen looked at Caesar's appearance of making a solemn vow and he couldn't help but feel it was a bit laughable in his heart. He lowered his voice as he said: "Caesar, even if you have set your mind on Xiao Yuan, it also depends on his own wishes. If Xiao Yuan doesn't want to go to the Imperial Palace, I will never, ever allow you to force him."

All of a sudden, Caesar was stunned and from the bottom of his heart couldn't help but think —

You are really too much of a micromanager, aren't you?

I am so good to Xiao Yuan, why on earth do you insist on inserting your foot? What is the matter with you old man, you think if he doesn't want to go to the Imperial Palace I'll kidnap and lock him up?

Caesar was displeased as he looked at Rosen, "Marshal, can I take Xiao Yuan away?"

Rosen said, "Can't."

Caesar: "......"

With great difficulty, he suppressed the anger that rushed forth in his heart once again, a burst of pulsating thumps rushed straight to Caesar's temples. Were it not for the opposing party being the Imperial Marshal where even his Royal Father had to respect him to some degree, Caesar couldn't help but think to rush up there and forcibly take that person.

What does he mean in the end when he says he still won't let that person go after so long?

At this moment, Rosen suddenly opened his mouth to speak: "Today is Mr. Aston's birthday. At what time did you attend the banquet?"

Caesar wondered a bit as to why the Marshal suddenly changed the topic, but he still politely replied: "8 o'clock in the morning."

Rosen went on to say: "So, at what time did you find out that Lin Yuan was at my place?"

"......"

Caesar had become stumped for words from the deepest parts of his heart, he suddenly felt a hint of chilliness crawl up his back!

Yes...... 10 o'clock at night......

Caesar didn't even have any time to answer before Rosen said the answer for him: "You left the hotel at eight in the morning and only found out that Lin Yuan was taken away by me at ten o'clock in the evening. Then at 10:01 and 5 seconds, you made your way over spitting in anger and demanded to pick him up and bring him back, you then wasted another five minutes at the door."

Rosen's expression was frightfully cold, "How long have you been apart, do you need me to calculate it for you?"

Caesar: "........."

Rosen said: "Black Dragon."

Black Dragon was quietly watching the good show, called by its Master, it immediately and calmly said: "Master, apart for fourteen hours, six minutes and five seconds."

Caesar: "............"

Rosen looked at Caesar and said coldly: "After you left Lin Yuan, it was a whole 14 hours, 6 minutes and 5 seconds before you realized he was taken away by me. If I want to bring harm to him during this time, it would be enough for him to die 10,000 times!"

Caesar: "........."

His original hot anger and jealousy were instantly replaced by intense frustration and remorse.

That's right, he should not have left Lin Yuan alone and by himself in the hotel. He should be together with his classmates or with Instructor Knox. Even if Lin Yuan is left alone, he should also confirm his safety at all times. After all, Lin Yuan's identity is not simple. If by any chance someone with some motives wishes harm upon him now, today, if he was not currently at his side, would be the best opportunity they could lay their hands on!

I actually ignored such a big crisis......

Caesar lightly clenched his fists and didn't know what he should say for a time.

Rosen insipidly said: "Caesar, you are so careless, how can I be at ease if I hand my son over to you?"

Caesar suddenly raised his head and looked at Rosen incredulously. His voice trembled a bit: "So...... Son?"

Rosen nodded as he spoke: "That's right, I am Lin Yuan's biological father — What did you think I brought him back here to do? You don't know how to protect him well enough. I had him come home for the night, do you have any problems with that? "

Rosen looked at Caesar with "you are an idiot" written all over his eyes.

Caesar: "....................."

A layer of cold sweat instantly came out on his back, Caesar even wished more than anything to go back just now and give himself a ruthless slap to the face!

— What has he done?

— He was challenging his father-in-law just now?!

— He even threatened his father-in-law, saying that Lin Yuan is my Omega and not to involve yourself in the matter! Don't get any ideas about Lin Yuan!

— He......

— He is simply courting death.

Caesar wished he could be sucked into the floor and immediately bowed his head and respectfully saluted. He spoke apologetically: "My-My apologies, Marshal, I-I was momentarily impulsive, it was a misunderstanding...... Pardon me......"

Rosen looked at the little prince in front of him obediently bowing his head and faintly said: "You overlooked his safety and went to attend the banquet alone. Only until 10 o'clock did you remember to get in touch with him. This is the first thing. You've said you love him over and over again. You've known he was an Omega for this long, yet you didn't even connect this to refer to his origin. This is the second thing."

"......" The cold sweat on Caesar's back practically soaked through his shirt.

The father-in-law has begun to criticize him violently, he was really done for......

Just then, even the unusually excited White Feather also sensed that this turn of events didn't bode well and it shrunk back in its space button and didn't dare to come out.

Black Dragon stood to the side and continued watching the good show.

Rosen continued to ask with a cold face: "Did you really think that Lin Yuan is an orphan? Where could have a battlefield orphan went to escape the Omega Association's registration?!"

Speaking of this, Rosen is truly a bit angry. Almost immediately after he knew that Lin Yuan was an Omega, it brought about some suspicion to find out the whole truth. But Caesar marked Lin Yuan for so many days and unexpectedly did not go to investigate Lin Yuan's origins in detail, but simply thought that Lin Yuan was an orphan?

— This moron!

Caesar's face was flushed with red as he was met with his father-in-law's lecture and bowed his head and said, "I-Actually I felt skeptical about his origins once before, but by Father's word I didn't go investigate. Xiao Yuan's foster mother also said that he was the son of Lin Weicheng's comrade-in-arms. I was careless for a moment......"

Caesar deeply bowed his body towards the Marshal, "I'm sorry, Marshal, this is really my carelessness...... Please forgive me."

Just a moment ago he was spitting in anger and told him to not get any ideas about Lin Yuan. But now, he has bowed his head and was saying I'm sorry, please forgive me......

Caesar's behavior of being slapped in the face makes Rosen feel a little bit delighted.

Seeing his favorable approach of acknowledging his mistakes, as a prince, his appearance of bowing his head in a respectful and venerable manner is actually somewhat funny. Rosen's anger had disappeared and he said calmly: "Xiao Yuan is the son of me and Ling Yu." "

Caesar: "......"

In Caesar's heart, there is an upsurge of perilous, stormy waves.

Xiao Yuan was actually the son of the Marshal and Ling Yu! With his lousy brain, he couldn't have thought of this because he had assumed that Ling Yu had been long gone. He even saw General Ling Yu's tombstone in Rosen's back garden with his own eyes......

No wonder Xiao Yuan is so outstanding, being a classmate. His classmates call him a little monster and his level of manipulating mechs is so strong......

You must know that Marshal and Ling Yu are both people who possess S-Class mechs! Both parents' mental thresholds can control S-Class mechs. With the genes of these two people combined, the ones born will be of the purest and genetically most powerful descendants!

Lin Yuan's family background and backing is unexpectantly so powerful, Caesar suddenly felt that his road to the future was bumpy......

Rosen continued to be displeased as he said: "Your Father wouldn't let you investigate, so you won't investigate? If by any chance, one day your Father wants to sacrifice Xiao Yuan for the sake of political interest, will you also readily agree?"

Caesar hurriedly said: "Of course not......"

Rosen frowned and said: "Your Father already knows all this. If I didn't discover that there was something amiss with Black Dragon's intelligence center, I would have nearly got deceived by him too. I always thought that 19 years ago, Ling Yu piloted Black Dragon and was buried alive in the interstellar ruins. I was under the impression that the Black Dragon I woke up was its replica body. I didn't discover until recently that Black Dragon's intelligence center was altered by people."

Rosen glanced at the black mech stationed in the room, Black Dragon cooperatively flashed its golden eyes.

Rosen continued: "Following me spiritually matching with it over and over again, Black Dragon surprisingly retrieved some scattered and fragmented memories. It is the original body of the Black Dragon. It is not the replica, but the part of its memory of Ling Yu piloting it to escape was artificially removed in the data center of the Mech Association."

Caesar was shocked and said: "Data removal?! Is this Father's doing?"

Rosen nodded with a cold face: "If not your Father then who else? Obviously, back when he secretly saved Ling Yu, he created the illusion of Black Dragon being buried alive, then brought back the body of Black Dragon, wiped out a portion of its data and put it back in the Mech Association. Wherever Ling Yu is, he is also probably the only one who knows. However, I only just recently learned about the full truth. He went to attend Mr. Aston's birthday party today. I still haven't had time to contact him."

Caesar was in a complicated mood and remained silent.

It is no wonder that Lin Yuan was presented with the highest authority golden card by his Father. It turned out to be because his Father attached great importance to his parents, so he was given this card when he was born. His Father liked Lin Yuan so much, he obviously also knows that Lin Yuan is that child.

Looking at the silent Marshal, Caesar did not know what to say.

After a good while, Rosen then faintly said: "Caesar, the reason why I told you the truth is that I want you to properly protect Xiao Yuan at school in the future. After all, I can't look after him at all times. If you are at his side, I will also be able to rest more assured. Rosen paused, "Such as today, more than ten hours not being in the least concerned after I came and picked him up and took him away without your knowledge. I hope that there will be no second time."

Caesar immediately nodded: "I promise, I will never make this mistake again! After I return to school, I will surely look after him well!"

This please Rosen as he nodded his head and stood up from the sofa and said: "Okay, go back now. Xiao Yuan is already asleep, don't disturb him by being too loud. I will send him back to the hotel early tomorrow morning."

This time, Caesar does not dare to have the slightest objection.

Not to mention that tonight, the Marshal wants to keep his son at home for a week, he also does not dare to have any objections.

"Then...... I will leave first, good night Marshal."

Caesar brought out an incomparably cordial smile and bowed his body venerably and respectfully, then turned away from Rosen's apartment with White Feather.

The fullness of his hot anger and the vinegar that was filled to the brim clashed together, then once again hanging his head dispiritedly, he turned around and left with his tail between his legs.

Caesar felt that he was never in his entire life as stupid as he was today.

(TN: Between starting up a new translation project and just regular life stuff I've been a bit busy, I'm surprised I wasn't being hounded lol so thank you! Soooo the great battle between Papa Rosen and Prince Caesar commenced. The victor was very clear lmaoooo. School is creeping up on me so we'll just have to wait and see how much time it'll cut out of my free time. Peace~)
