Chapter 122
122. The Gay Little Prince, Part 11
"What the hell is going on, Gary?" Shu Shu immediately turned towards his son concernedly after getting into the aircraft. At the same time, Gary's communication device started to ring incessantly with incoming messages from Edgar and Fred.
Gary’s heart was sore. He . . . had made his family worried, hadn’t he?
"It's nothing, Mother. It's only Green straying and was dumped by me." Gary quickly adjusted his emotions and said with a smile.
"What? That guy actually dared to stray? So disgusting!" Shu Shu was immediately angry when he heard what Gary said.
"It's okay. In any case, it's better for him to stray now than to stray after we’re married." Gary comforted his mother.
"You've been in a relationship for ten years; how could he still stray?" Shu Shu frowned and suddenly said, "Is a relationship so vulnerable? Do you think your father will stray?"
Gary: ". . ." He had just connected his father’s call!
Edgar on the other side of Gary's communication device: ". . ." Did he look so unreliable? He was fully committed to Shu Shu. Moreover, which other people did he treat so well besides Shu Shu?
"Anyway, I'm so young and good-looking and so powerful, too. Your father certainly won’t stray." Shu Shu said again.
Gary saw his father nod at the other end of the communication device, clearly agreeing with his mother's narcissistic words, and envy once again rose in his heart.
His father set his mind on his mother and never changed. Even when he thought his mother was a beastman, he was still firm. But Green . . . .
The feelings between his parents had never changed, so he also hoped that the feelings between him and Green would never change. However, Green's feeling had changed a long time ago. Ludwig, on the contrary . . . .
"Don't worry, Gary. You’re like me, and you can definitely find a good beastman." Shu Shu comforted his son and then thought of Ludwig. "By the way, Gary, what’s going on with Ludwig? He’s chasing you?"
"Hmm." Gary replied.
"You tormented him so badly when you’re a kid, and he still treats you wholeheartedly, which is great." Shu Shu patted his son on the shoulder with a rueful expression across his whole face. The first time Gary met Ludwig, he fed Ludwig indiscriminately and almost killed Ludwig. After that, he never stopped tormenting Ludwig . . . . Ludwig's beast form was a white tiger, but because he was too thin and weak when he was a child, he looked like a congenitally sick white cat. Gary then started to keep him as a pet, carrying him everywhere and pulling his tail indiscriminately . . . .
Because Gary had tormented Ludwig so terribly, Shu Shu felt very guilty, so he especially spared no effort when he treated Ludwig. Afterwards . . . .
Ludwig was sickly when sent to his place, but when he left his place, he was already strong and healthy and physically sturdy, to the extent that Myer and Calvin were very grateful to him.
". . ." Gary was utterly helpless. He just wanted to play with Ludwig at that time and really didn't mean to torment Ludwig.
Anyway, it’s indeed great that Ludwig could continue liking him...
"But if you’re really with him, I’ll definitely feel weird . . ." Shu Shu said again. Although Myer had never done something impolite, Shu Shu had never forgotten that this was the love rival who once had given him a lot of pressure.
"Why?" Gary was puzzled. "Because of Ludwig's grandmother?" Myer liked Edgar but never confessed, so there were not many people who knew about it. At least Gary did not know about it.
"Never mind." Shu Shu replied. This was the matter of more than thirty years ago and actually had not affected anything since long ago.
The two chatted and returned to the imperial palace in a short while, and Edgar was already waiting there.
"Father!" Gary was a little excited when he saw Edgar. He had not seen his family for quite a long time.
“Welcome back." Edgar patted Gary on the shoulder and drew Shu Shu into his arms. "Let’s go in and eat."
Edgar led Gary into the house as usual. And inside the house, Fred and his sub-beastman partner, Lara, were already waiting.
After everyone was seated, Edgar began to ask Gary about the actual situation.
Gary and Lara also grew up together, so there was no need to put on airs in front of Lara or hide anything from him. Gary quickly explained clearly what he had encountered.
In the end, the whole family had a meal together while crusading against Green.
Gary was initially very happy eating this meal, but later . . . .
When they were having a meal, his father took care of his mother in all respects, and his brother also did the same to Lara. Only he was a lonely soul . . . .
When he had just been betrayed by Green, he, for a time, had had the idea of never looking for another beastman again in the future. But now, he wanted to start a new relationship.
As Gary was thinking so, he received a message from Ludwig. "Gary, I’ve already had someone sue all the reporters who reported false news today as well as Green and his cronies. Don't worry, I’ll find more lawyers and make them get proper punishment!" He was going to let the lawyers sue all the items that could be sued, nothing less.
"Okay." Gary sent a message back.
Getting a reply, even if it was only one word, Ludwig's face showed a happy expression, and his mood immediately improved.
The reporters who were standing not far from Ludwig, however, were all wailing like they were at a funeral. It only took a while, and they already received messages from the lawyers. Ludwig really moved fast.
Emir was not only accused, but the police also handcuffed him. He looked at Ludwig and then at Green, and he totally felt that he had been blind.
Green was also looking at Ludwig with eyes full of pain. Gary was a prince, yet he was willing to join the military with him. Gary really loved him, but he lost the man who had loved him so much.
He had a feeling of giving up and stopped bothering. When the police handcuffed him and took him along, he completely didn’t resist.
Both Emir and Green were investigated by the military department.
Emir, without permission to move, had left the protection circle during the war, causing death to many of his comrades, and also tried to frame others. He was finally sentenced and had to go to a mineral planet to serve his prison sentence . . . . In fact, his prison sentence was very short, but it was still very painful and hard to accept for a sub-beastman.
Anyway, this was still a trivial matter. For Emir, what was even more painful for him was probably the subsequent impact brought by this incident.
His parents were quite rich, but they were not that kind of big businessmen whom could be considered as notably rich and powerful. Now that he had offended the imperial family, the people who cooperated with his parents tore up their contracts one after another. His parents could no longer continue doing business, and perhaps it would not take long for them to go bankrupt.
They loved him very much, but in this situation, they would inevitably hate him . . . .
His future was gone, and even his family began to reject him . . . .
Covering his face, Emir was in great pain. He did not know how he got to this point. When he took a fancy to Green, he naturally felt that since he liked Green, then he could grab him. When encountering the marching ants, he naturally felt that since he was a sub-beastman, those beastmen would definitely save him. If they died, it meant that they were not capable enough . . . .
When Green saved him and dropped Gary, he was even prouder of himself. He hoped that Gary, this irksome guy, would be eaten up by the marching ants.
He also wanted to set Gary up so that everyone would hate Gary . . . . Who would have thought that in the end, Gary was fine and drove him into a corner instead?
Emir had to serve the most sentence, but Green did not have to. He was just demoted—he, who had become a lieutenant colonel with great difficulty, became a major again. This was because he had made a command error when encountering the marching ants, the mech soldiers he led were too selfish, and there were problems with his style of work while carrying out the mission.
Such punishment seemed to not be severe at all, but it had actually ruined his future.
Green’s parents knew that Marshal Mullen was quite fond of Green. So they went to find Marshal Mullen after getting this result, hoping that Marshal Mullen could help Green. But as it turned out . . . .
Marshal Mullen knew Gary’s identity, and he had a preference for Green largely because of Gary. Now . . . Marshal Mullen absolutely didn’t want to see Green as well as Green's family.
Ludwig told Gary about all this stuff.
Gary had been staying in the imperial palace without going out these days. At most, he only went to the star network to check the online news. And today, most of the online news were related to him.
The majority of the evaluations of him were kind, but there were also many people who did not like him and even hated him.
"Because he’s a prince, so he can do whatever he wants? Even if that sub-beastman named Emir isn’t a good person, as a beastman, he can't just go and beat a sub-beastman!"
"He hasn’t only beaten him once but twice! According to the video, when Green’s mech was torn apart, he was even more violent!"
"Both Green and Emir have received legal sanctions. He beat people yet nothing happened. Is it because he’s a prince?"
“Don’t tell me that beastmen of the imperial family can beat sub-beastmen as they pleased?"
. . . . . .
The whole thing had been completely made public. The monitoring device on Gary’s body even proved that he was trying to save Emir rather than plotting against Emir’s life at that time, yet everyone still spoke ill of him.
He did hit Emir.
"I was out of my mind with anger at that time." Gary was very annoyed when Fred asked about this.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry too much. He hasn't suffered any harm, and there’s no injury report either, so he can't do anything to you. As for the online news . . . they’ll soon be suppressed." Fred said.
The online news were indeed going to be suppressed very soon—Edgar had already set the date for his abdication ceremony and Fred's enthronement ceremony.
