Chapter 60 - Behind The Scenes Isn't So Simple

Only someone like Chewe could ask such a question directly to Gyasi other nobles wouldn't dare to question this cold military general, but that was everyone's question: "when will the wedding be? Or when are you going to have children? Is Prince Mu already pregnant? ". Since yesterday when Prince Gyasi brought a recessive omega as a prince consort, the nobility was already gossiping about these topics.

Of course, the main topic was: Who was Mu Liang?

Was he worthy of the Imperial Third Prince, Gyasi Azikiwe? Was he handsome, talented, or special? What are his strengths? Many were already paying large sums of money to get Mu Liang's information, despite the fact that most of them were classified as state secrets of the Tang-Kai Empire, given Mu Liang's status as an imperial prince.

This doesn't prevent the nobles from paying more for the information and trying to bribe the civilians of the Tang-Kai Empire for any drop of information even if it is irrelevant, such as the curiosity of the zerg diablo nobility.

"After he recovers," said Gyasi a little thoughtfully. In this case, he was thinking of starting the marriage after Mu Liang's recovery, since it would be a political marriage between two princes, the preparations would take a long time, not to mention the invitations to be sent to several planets allied to the Zerg Diablo Empire and to those who composed the allies of the Zatrara Empire as well.

Perhaps they would have to perform the marriage with some neutral ally for both species, moreover, if the war goes on for longer the marriage cannot be carried out with great pomp because of the situation.

Calculating that time, it would take about two or three months after Mu Liang's recovery.

"What about the war in the Zatrara Empire?" Chewe asked curiously. Since having a wedding in the midst of war didn't seem like a very wise thing.

"I don't think the war will last more than a few months," said Gyasi nonchalantly.

"Are we talking about the same war? Aren't vampires attacking the Zatrara Empire? Vampires are like plagues and it is very difficult to exterminate, even if our empire sends help, it would be at least two years for the war to end, right? " said Chewe doubtfully. He was a doctor, not a war strategist, but it looked like Gyasi was taking the vampires lightly.

Gyasi just shook his head, which left Chewe confused. Was he overestimating the strength of vampires?

"Chewe, if it were another elven empire, this would really be the case for a war of at least 2 years and at most 10 years. But this is the Zatrara empire, whose emperor is the grandson of a great elder from the High Elves. The High Elves will intervene soon. Probably the Zatrara Empire is showing weakness or fear for vampires just to attract a bigger enemy and see which empires and kingdoms are trustworthy, "said Gyasi indifferently as if it was obvious what would happen in the next few months.

Chewe's expression froze only after he rubbed his glabella and stopped thinking about it. This business of wars, plans, and backstage was very complicated.

"What if Prince Mu becomes pregnant during the time between the engagement and the wedding?" asked Chewe in a playful tone, changing the subject. However, the issue of Gyasi having an heir was something even more serious than the war in the Zatrara Empire, as this could directly affect the future of the Diablo Empire.

The point of having a child wasn't just to have an heir to be the new emperor but to prevent greedy people from targeting a throne without an heir.

Things are very peaceful in the imperial family because of the existence of Gyasi and his younger brothers who can generate a future heir. As Gyasi has a compatible companion with a good track record, everyone expects them to have a son to be the next emperor.

If it doesn't work out in a short time, Gyasi's younger brothers will be the next ones to be in charge of this mission. There is only one problem, Gyasi's younger siblings are 10 years old this year and at the latest, if Mu Liang doesn't get pregnant in the short term, they will be 15 or 16 years old, which makes everything unfeasible for them to have children. They will have to wait for these brothers to turn 20, how can things be okay with a 10-year vacuum?

The nobles are still nobles, if they are not the nobles they are other powerhouses like the military or the big companies that would be restless. Wouldn't it be ironic to start a war for who will be the crown prince without an existing royal heir?

"I don't know what will happen if he becomes pregnant" Gyasi was very frank with his words. He really didn't know how the imperial family would react to the birth of their first child.

"At best, you and Prince Mu will be able to raise your child until the end of adolescence before he follows Emperor Ada to become the crown prince. In the worst case, when your son turns 10 he will be taken to be raised by the imperial aunt ... There is still an even more brutal hypothesis, your son may be at risk of life as a baby ... "Doctor Chewe started to talk about the possibilities of Gyasi and Mu Liang having a child.

Gyasi remained calm while his cousin and friend talked about all the possibilities, of course, inside he was furious.

"You forgot to say the most likely hypothesis is that I will be sent on a remote mission and my pregnant husband will be left in the castle unprotected. Maybe my older brother can take care of my husband from that time ... "Gyasi spoke with a bitter smile, his eyes seemed to shine with the flames of anger. The irises are already a shade of sunset red, the shade has become a deep and frightening red.

Gyasi didn't think that his older brother would betray him, but that didn't mean that there would be no trap for the nobles to frame Mu Liang and Emperor Ada to make a special matrimonial on behalf of the baby.

"It will depend on whether you continue to lead the colonization project for the newly discovered new galaxy. You know very well that there are several nobles and military watching this project and they want to snatch it from the hands of the imperial family "said Chewe looking away from the frightening look of his third cousin.

The pressure of an Extreme Alpha was too much even for an Alpha like Chewe. Although Gyasi's aura didn't change anything, but the bloodthirsty gaze of those on the battlefield was too heavy for ordinary people and even worse for a life-saving doctor.

It wasn't that Chewe hadn't seen his share of ferocity around, but as a doctor, he was a reasonable and peaceful man. He could not compare himself with Gyasi who was a general in an active battalion and who fought wars almost all the time.

"Therefore, I would be glad that Mu Liang didn't become pregnant at this time. It would take five years to complete the exploration of the first planet, after that time the Imperial Family would already have a fixed root in the new galaxy and another battalion could be sent"

"Furthermore, we could open auctions for the portal for the new galaxy and the lands of the new one to other empires, which would make it difficult for backstage machinists to harm their own people, as there would be competition. In addition, half of my battalion is already there on the new planet. If another entourage that can take over my responsibility now there could be accidents and my men will die little by little "

Gyasi spoke in an icy, logical tone to Chewe. The cousin frowned and felt a headache, he hated the schemes and more schemes between the imperial family versus the other powers.

Everything seemed fine on the surface, but that was only possible if Emperor Ada and the imperial family didn't give breaches to be exploited, be it moral breaches like being easily seduced by beauty, or ethical breaches like corruption, or breaches in strength like power over the military or a breach in the power of bloodline, such as a weaker or corrupted bloodline.

If any of these four characteristics are missing and that gap opens, chaos, conspiracies and battles could be expected in the bloody behind the scenes of power.

"You know all this and yet you have already marked Prince Mu, you just it so fast!" Chewe said incredulous and annoyed. The third prince knew all this and yet he did not hesitate to have sex and to mark the omega recessive.

Everyone knows how complicated it was for an omega recessive to get pregnant, being a risk to the health of the omega and the baby, the pregnancy cannot be taken lightly. Of course, there are the inherent advantages of the recessive omega like the question of the lineage's power being stronger than in other children born from other omegas.

Gyasi smiled at Chewe, but it wasn't the previous bitter smile. This was a familiar smile for Chewe, the same smile the former emperor gave when he completed a successful plan.

Chewe was appalled and his heart went cold.

"Should we talk in a private room?" Chewe asked when he saw Gyasi's domineering look and fox smile.

"We can talk another time. My little Liang is waiting for me to have breakfast, "said Gyasi, changing his face to a soft and sweet expression as if he were an actor who won the late Oscar award.

Chewe narrowed his eyes at his clever cousin, but he can only sigh and ask nothing. Since everything he could ask could be considered highly confidential.

Gyasi now with a smooth and careful face looked like a totally different man from moments ago with his dominating gaze and the smile of a smart fox. He passed his cousin with his two guards behind him.

"What do you want with Prince Mu?" asked Chewe when Gyasi already had his back to him.

"I don't think that's your job to know, cousin" The military general's tone was calm, but Chewe felt a kind of territorial threat from this third cousin.

Gyasi stopped walking for a moment, but that was it, so he started walking again with the guards.

Chewe who observed all this didn't know what to think. After all, your cousin Gyasi could be pretending to be upset, which made it harder to distinguish that person's thoughts.

He can only pray to the goddess Ashia that Gyasi wouldn't try to harm Prince Mu because of the problems of the diablo empire. In many ways, Chewe could predict the disaster this would all become if it did.
