Chapter 98 - Finally I Found You

Mu Liang touched the white dragon scales, it felt a little warm and it wasn't damp, he could even tell it was something soft. Of course, as the white dragon didn't feel threatened, his skin wasn't harmful to the half-elf.

The white dragon's breathing was calm and the long tail curled around Mu Liang's waist, the tail exerting almost no force when lifting the prince from the ground.

"People are coming... They are the same people who invaded the hospital" the white dragon mentally communicated with Mu Liang.

Mu Liang became alert too, he couldn't forget that his life was in danger. Suddenly his wrist communicator started to glow, he answered the call and saw the image of Huang Lian, luckily she was alive and with a few scratches.

"Prince Mu, are you alright?" Huang Lian asked looking through the shrunk holographic screen to see if there were any wounds on his master, luckily he looked fine. Of course, the background had been blocked and Huang Lian could only see the upper part of Mu Liang's body, you wouldn't know what she would think if she saw a dragon behind her weak master.

"I'm safe, but I don't know where I am. And the Rebels are coming." Mu Liang also omitted that he was with the white dragon.

"Prince activate the location system and connect to the internet so the military can find you. I'll try to get to you, keep hidden for now" Huang Lian said worriedly and hung up, she hurried to activate the digital tracking system to quickly find Mu Liang.

Nadira was still unconscious, fortunately, the explosions generated tremors and the military was investigating, a small group with Mechas Armor entered the tunnels and found a woman passed out on the ground, with some wounds on her hands, but apparently nothing serious.

"I want the identification of all of them, there may be rebels among them," Lieutenant Obax told her subordinates, there were other people around passed out, only in worse shape than Nadira. Some were missing an arm or a leg, others had no salvation and only a few pieces remained.

Lieutenant Hadiya Obax watched everything with her darkened eyes. Her hand shook with rage. For she, the Rebels were cancer in the Diablo Empire, but the former Emperor Ehione was a pacifist and only had palliative measures for the Rebels, which left them even more brazen and dangerous.

"Lieutenant..." one of the soldiers called Lieutenant Obax, the woman looked at the soldier who seemed to have frozen looking at Nadira.

"What happened, Private Jahi?" Lieutenant Obax asked seeing the soldier kneeling in front of Nadira's body, she thought that maybe that young woman was related/acquaintance of the soldier and he got emotional.

"I took some of her blood to see the records..."

"And?" Lieutenant Obax was losing patience with Private Jahi's hesitation.

"According to the database, this woman is our Retired Empress," Private Jahi said after looking once more at the genetic report he received from the empire's databases.

However, Nadira's appearance and Nehand Achebe's appearance were as different as the sun and moon, but the genetic data cannot be forged, so they could only imagine that the empress was using some secret body-transformation ability.

"What?" Lieutenant Obax was also shocked by this result. Fortunately, she recovered quickly enough to send a message to Major Haben Aminata.

They found the retired empress and she was injured and unconscious, only the goddess of creation could have known how upset the current emperor would be upon receiving the news.

Going back to Mu Liang who did exactly what Huang Lian said, but he was being carried by the white dragon.

"I can walk," Mu Liang said in protest. The white dragon had reverted to his human form, which was easier to run and hide, he had to borrow Mu Liang's spare clothes, as after the transformation he was completely unclothed as they were torn apart by the sudden transformation.

The young white dragon was quite tall, the clothes were short on him, but it was better than running n.a.k.e.d for his life. He was carrying the prince like a princess, as the half-elf lacked the physical conditioning for a quick escape.

"I know you can walk, but now is the time to run" the white dragon replied seriously. He wasn't being sarcastic or acidic, he was just being too honest.

The footsteps of a group seemed to get closer and closer, luckily the white dragon and Mu Liang entered a nearby tunnel and hid in the dimly lit parts of the tunnels.

The two were silent as they watched a group in mecha armor pass at high speed, they didn't even look around. They seemed to be getting away from something or someone.

Two more soldiers appeared behind the soldier with the whip of violet scales and a fierce fight broke out before the eyes of Mu Liang and the white dragon.

Mu Liang felt an itch in his gland in his neck, suddenly the soldier with the violet scale whip stops on the battlefield after throwing another enemy away, he looks towards where the prince and the dragon are hiding.

The white dragon even wanted to run, but the soldier's overwhelming aura felt like it was choking him. How could anyone have such an aura that they could suppress a hybrid as strong as he was?

"I won't be able to escape," the white dragon said pitifully to Mu Liang, he squeezed Mu Liang's body a little in his arms, he would at least try to protect the other part as much as he could.

The soldier quickly approached where the two men stood and he was stared at by two pairs of blue eyes that were filled with caution and ferocity as if they were going to take him down at any moment.

The two men who were looking at him were too handsome even to be real, of course, the soldier only directed his attention to Mu Liang and how he was being hugged by another handsome man.

Gyasi felt his teeth itch as the helmet of his mecha armor revealed his face, he so badly wanted to snatch Mu Liang from that stranger and take him to a room to mark his territory again. Alphas tend to be much more territorial than omegas, which often leads to fights, of course, the alpha always losing fights to his omega.

"Gyasi!" Mu Liang looked like a baby bird happy that his parents had returned with food, chirping as he tried to get out of the white dragon's arms.

The white dragon breathed a sigh of relief and released Mu Liang, they were finally safe, the army had found them first.

Gyasi disarmed and hugged Mu Liang's warm body, kissing the top of his head, his heart could finally rest, moments before he had received the news that his mother had also been found. Now that he had his mate in his arms, the world seemed to have returned to its rightful place.

Of course, Sahid and Dinari were still fighting behind the romantic scene, the sound of steel clashing and bullets being exchanged was very clear, the white dragon looked at all this and felt his beautiful cherry lips tremble, not knowing if he was angry with the couple in love or laugh at such a romantic cliché.

The white dragon that was being a great chandelier in the middle of the romantic scene decided to help the two soldiers who were fighting behind the loving couple. He used his elemental powers to land several hits, while Dinari and Sahid hit the vitals of enemies' mecha armor.

Then, quickly the enemies were neutralized and everyone was finally able to breathe more easily.

"You! Ah, Liang what were you thinking?!" Gyasi said after feeling his companion safe in his arms, but he was still angry and very worried, what would he do if the Rebel group had found Mu Liang first?

Just thinking about it made his heart freeze and his mind cloud with terrible, bloody thoughts.

Mu Liang shivered at Gyasi's angry tone, he knew that the time had come for him to be reprimanded and maybe even punished for his rebellion and escape from the secret and safe mansion.

"You'd better talk when we're in a safer place," Sahid said looking around. He called the other soldiers and they came to carry the surviving enemies for interrogation and arrest.

As a more pacifist society, the Diablo Empire didn't have the custom of torturing prisoners or punishing them with the death penalty, prisoners or traitors to the nation were kept in one of the special security prisons located on one of the planet's moons.

Gyasi could only agree with his subordinates, besides, it would be better to take Mu Liang for a hospital check-in just to be on the safer side.

Huang Lian still conscious saw Prince Mu being carried by a zerg army soldier, she was finally able to rest and closed her eyes, luckily her wounds could be treated in the hospital without her life being at risk.

The white dragon was also taken with Mu Liang, after all, this person who will help him escape from the rebels, at least deserved a reward and check-in at the hospital.

"What is your name?" Mu Liang asked looking at the white dragon, he looked over Gyasi's shoulder. They were running most of the time and he forgot the most basic question.

"Emery," the white dragon said with a cute smile, which made Mu Liang feel suddenly shy which consequently when seeing his fiancé get shy with another man, made Gyasi feel jealous, at the same time he thought his adorable fiance, a rather conflicted feeling.
