Chapter 220: 8.27

"General, since I will run away from the human kingdom, would you like to join me? We will set up a small house together and live together. We will be free from all this mess."

"What do you think?"

[Wha… what a depressing situation…]

[Pupa: Indeed. Altair must have been in a lot of pain. Cutting the connection with your parents are not an easy task. And he did it because he wanted to save you.]

[I didn't know his feeling can be this strong. I wonder if it's because of our instinct as a fated pair, or is it truly because his heart said so?]

[Pupa: If it's all just an animal instinct, then Altair would have fucked the prince rotten. Since he still has some of his sanity and even went as far as banging his head on the wall to keep his consciousness. Don't you think it's a bit cruel to call it instinct?]

[Pupa: He has way more than just instinct. In fact, I think he has shown you enough how serious he is about you. Don't be an asshole and ignored everything just because of your own ego.]

Yunyu stared at Altair, whose eyes showed a hint of pleading as if he would break down if Yunyu said no. Altair made it as if his life depended on his answer, either to follow him and run away or leave him all alone.

Yunyu was considering it. If he accepted it, then he would give peace in Altair's heart. But he was thinking about what would happen with the Breakmeter.

[Pupa, what is the current Breakmeter percentage, and what is the general goal to complete this Breakmeter?]

[Pupa: Breakmeter is still 50%. Since we've seen the hidden plot, the general goal is to make Altair a great general that protects people. It is his life call. His SSS alpha physique shouldn't be wasted.]

[Then, if I run away with him, he would live his life as a fugitive forever.]

[Pupa:…]

General Vega sat closer to Altair and held his hand. His eyes stared deeply at Altair's eyes, "Altair, are you sure that you will be okay with your choice? Being a fugitive forever, without rank, honour, and being cut off from your family?"

Altair nodded without hesitation, "As long as you are with me, then everything is alright."

General Vega saw the unflinching certainty in Altair's eyes. He sighed and hugged Altair gently. He caressed Altair's hair gently, "It must have been hard for you. I know this will not be easy, Altair Roderick…"

"S—So… will you follow me and run away from this kingdom?" Altair asked expectantly. Truthfully, he didn't want to be a fugitive like this, but if it was to protect his omega and his loved one, General Vega, then it was alright. 

Because he knew he had fallen in love hard with this man, whether he was his omega or not. 

Maybe since the very beginning, Altair had been in love with General Vega Satellarnus, but he didn't realize it yet. He loved his strength, self-discipline, and of course, his sexy body. 

General Vega caressed Altair's hair and sighed, "As much as I want to be with you. I cannot leave humanity. I need to protect humanity. So I cannot run away with you."

…

Altair felt that his heart sunk to the deepest pit. His body trembled because his heart was in pain. He tried to hold his tears, but he couldn't, and it dropped on General Vega's shoulder, "So, in the end, we cannot be together…"

"General… no, Vega Satellarnus. I know that you are the hope of humanity…" Altair gently circled his hand around General Vega's body as a response to his hug because this might be their last hug.

"I know that you cannot leave humanity, so I… so I cannot force you…" Altair said, his voice was shaking, but he tried hard to persevere.

[… even after I said that his Fatemeter hasn't decreased at all.]

[Pupa: Of course, he is in love with you, very much in love.]

"You don't need to force me, my alpha…" General Vega said, "Because I will never let you leave the military, I will never let you leave me."

"Altair, we will fight for such injustice."

"W—What do you mean? We will fight?" Altair thought everything was over, but General Vega gave him hope when he said; 

"You've been falsely accused by that bastard prince. If he wants to use his power to be a tyrant, then so be it. Let's see what he will do without us. We are the most powerful soldiers in the kingdom and probably the two most powerful humans in the galaxy. Do you think they can survive without us?" General Vega explained.

"General…"

"That is why you should keep your head up, and we will fight such injustice. We have devoted our life to protect humanity, and I will not let my alpha be falsely accused because of a greedy prince. Let's see what they can do without us," General Vega said. 

"General, you are risking your position… I am already a fugitive, but you are still the most respected General in the kingdom. I don't want you to lose everything because of me…"

"Altair Roderick, we are a fated pair. I will never leave you, especially after you saved the soldiers and me before," General Vega said, "Besides, even if we are not a fated pair, I will… I will love you nonetheless."

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 95%. This is the bonus Fatemeter because the host has successfully unlocked the hidden plot. Congratulations!]

[Pupa: Ding Fatemeter increases to 100%. Congratulations host! May you have a good love life with the master of this world!]

Altair raised his head immediately and then held General Vega's cheek with his warm palm. He kissed General Vega's lips deeply, and it gave both of them a gentle shock that circulated in their body.

They were indeed a pair of fated lovers, "Vega Satellarnus, whether you are my fated pair or not, I will always come back to you. Because I truly, truly loved you, and you only," Altair confessed.

General Vega nodded and replied, "I know, and that feeling of yours… has been reciprocated. I love you, Altair Roderick."

They embraced each other as they felt the gentle warmth of each other. Yunyu could feel the soft warmth of Altair. It reminded him of an old feeling, a nostalgia. 

[This feeling… is similar to my feeling with Javier. Warm, gentle, and loving… but I can trace this feeling like nostalgia way before I was even born in my original world.]

[Maybe this is the same feeling that I get with that man called Master Han Ye, the man that I sealed for unknown reason centuries ago.]

[Pupa, you don't remember your life as Larva, right?] 

[Pupa: No, my memory got instantly deleted when the host finished all missions.]

[Maybe, my second journey throughout the worlds will help me understand what really happened back then. Because if this is the same feeling that I got with Master Han Ye, then there is no way I would seal him out of malice.]

As they were embracing each other, there was a knock on the door. An anxious voice was heard, "G—General, royal armies are wanting to meet you and Altair Roderick."
