Chapter 124
124. The Gay Little Prince, Part 13
It made no sense to talk with a drunkard, but Gary could not just look on unfeelingly as Ludwig destroyed the beast bead . . . . Having knocked Ludwig out with a slap, Gary pried open Ludwig’s mouth and stuffed the beast bead back into him.
Ludwig"s body was full of the smell of alcohol, and his face was entirely red, but he was still very handsome . . . . Gary was dazed and suddenly realized that this man, whom had been his younger brother, had really grown up a long time ago.
These days, besides making a mech, he had also thought about his future.
He was rich and powerful and would definitely be able to live well in the future, but he was afraid that it would not be easy for him to find a partner after his heart.
If he liked sub-beastmen, he would certainly have many choices, but he had long been clearly aware that he liked beastmen.
In the Beastman Empire, there were many beastmen who would choose to be with their own kind, but most of them only did so because they could not marry a sub-beastman. There were only a few truly outstanding beastmen who would choose beastmen as their partners in the entire Beastman Empire.
That being the case, could he find a partner to his liking in the future?
Of course, he could just not look for a partner. With his current situation, he could definitely live his life alone freely and easily. It was just that he wanted a family after watching his loving parents since he was a child.
Gary"s gaze fell on Ludwig again.
He had a good impression of Ludwig, and the determination Ludwig showed him just now aroused his feelings somewhat. But the feelings came quickly and suddenly, which made him not so sure every time.
Moreover, he had always regarded Ludwig as his younger brother, which also made him somewhat unable to pa.s.s the hurdle in his heart.
But maybe he could try?
Ludwig had already grown into a big man since long ago. He should not just remember the little kid who used to run behind him and ignore the man in front of him. What"s more, Ludwig was indeed the most suitable man for him.
Ludwig was born well; his roots and background were known, and he always liked him. And he himself was also not without feelings for this man.
Gary made up his mind and was actually much more relaxed. Seeing that it was late and Ludwig was still unconscious, he simply didn"t go to sleep and just sat in meditation and cultivated next to Ludwig.
Gary only opened his eyes to look over once there was a sound of activity at Ludwig"s side.
"I . . . last night . . ." Ludwig opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor smelling of alcohol from head to toe. He looked very awkward, and his face instantly reddened.
"You’re drunk yesterday."
"I was drunk, I . . ." Ludwig nodded. He was about to say something and suddenly remembered what happened last night.
Although he was drunk last night, the thing he did was in fact what he sincerely wanted to do. However, he did not expect that when he showed his determination to Gary, he was actually rejected by Gary . . . . Recalling this, Ludwig suddenly felt wronged.
"Go back and take a shower. Clean yourself up." Gary said. "Also, don"t do that kind of stupid thing like last night. Even if you really want to give me the beast bead, you have to wait until the wedding to do it."
Gary would deliberately mention this because he was worried that Ludwig would really destroy the beast bead . . . . Green treasured his beast bead very much and had never let him see it. Later, Green had a relationship with Emir, but he did not give it to Emir either. Other beastmen were basically the same as Green.
And Ludwig? This guy did not take the beast bead seriously at all. He said that he would give it away, and he actually gave it away. He was even going to destroy it if it was not received . . . . Gary chuckled, his gaze falling on Ludwig. He already decided that he was going to try with Ludwig. In this way, if it went smooth, they might get married in another year or two, and it would look better if Ludwig"s beast bead was taken out at that time.
The words Gary said were absolutely sincere, but Ludwig only regarded it as Gary wanting to make him leave.
Before, Gary did not accept the beast bead he gave and then refused to see him. This time Gary did not accept it either. After this . . . would Gary refuse to see him again?
Ludwig raised his head and looked at Gary firmly, "Gary, everything I did last night was sincere."
"I know." Gary nodded.
"I’ll only like you alone in this life." Ludwig added and once again took out the beast bead. "I don"t want to force you at all, Gary. I just hope that you can see my determination . . ." He was going to destroy the beast bead in his hand as he spoke.
Whom he liked was a beastman, and so the beast bead was completely meaningless to him. Ludwig had never taken his beast bead seriously.
"You"re crazy!" Gary s.n.a.t.c.hed Ludwig"s beast bead, utterly dumbfounded.
"Gary, I just hope that you won’t avoid me. I’ve grown up now, and I’m no longer that little brother who can only follow behind you." Ludwig stared at Gary firmly. He had already decided, no matter what happened today, he would not take back the beast bead.
"I won"t avoid you again. Get up and take the beast bead back." Gary was somewhat helpless.
"It"s useless anyway, so I won"t take it back." Ludwig said again.
Ludwig was very stubborn and would never go back on his decision. Gary somewhat understood this. Seeing Ludwig"s current behavior of not taking the beast bead back no matter what, he could not help but have mixed feelings.
After staring at Ludwig for a good while, Gary suddenly asked, "Even if I don"t give you my beast bead, you’re still willing to give your beast bead to me?"
"Of course!" Ludwig replied. Hadn’t Gary already asked this? Why did he ask again now?
"If I’ll never give you my beast bead, are you willing to marry me?" Gary asked again.
"I’m willing!" Ludwig was a little dizzy when he heard the word "marry" and replied right away without thinking about it.
"Okay, then I promise to date you for the purpose of marriage." Gary abruptly stuffed Ludwig"s beast bead into his mouth. If this little thing left the beastman"s body for too long, it would lose its effect, and he could never let Ludwig"s beast bead be destroyed.
"Really?" Ludwig was pleasantly surprised, his face full of disbelief.
"Really." Gary said. Ludwig was so determined; he might as well not drag it on. He believed that Ludwig would treat him well.
If Ludwig treated him badly . . . couldn"t he still clean up Ludwig?
Gary was confident that he could beat Ludwig into the ground, but obviously, he thought too much—it was simply impossible for Ludwig to treat him badly.
After getting Gary’s approval and Gary no longer avoiding him, Ludwig practically became Gary’s little brother and followed Gary all day long. Not to mention taking care of Gary by serving him tea and water, if Gary made him go east, he would never go west; if Gary made him eat chicken, he would never eat duck. Even if Gary said that fish flew in the sky, he could also earnestly agree.
All this was very different from the love life Gary had imagined at the beginning, but he did not dislike it at all, so much so that it did not take long for him to no longer think of Green.
It was said that if you wanted to forget a failed relationship, the best way was to start a completely new relationship. This saying was indeed true.
There was a big handsome guy wandering around him all day long; how could he still think of his ex-boyfriend?
Gary and Ludwig were originally very familiar with each other. After they dated, the familiarity between the two of them grew even more with each pa.s.sing day, and they got along better and better.
Only a month later, Gary realized that his feelings for Ludwig had grown deeper and deeper. He would miss Ludwig when he could not see Ludwig; he wanted to share everything with Ludwig, and when Ludwig did something for him, his heartbeat would speed up.
He could no longer regard Ludwig as his younger brother, and he even couldn’t stop himself from having an urge to grope Ludwig.
Before he knew it, he actually became more and more l.u.s.tful . . . . Gary silently retracted his hand on Ludwig"s waist.
Ludwig noticed Gary drawing his hand back and felt extremely sorry—why did Gary stop touching him? If it were him touching Gary, he would definitely be reluctant to let go . . . .
Thinking of Gary treating him better and better these days, Ludwig’s courage grew big, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Gary"s hand.
Gary did not break free, and then he felt Ludwig start to squeeze his hand back and forth, left and right, reluctant to let it go. Probably seeing that he had not objected to the squeezes, Ludwig moved closer and kissed him on the lips several times.
After being kissed by Ludwig, Gary felt a tingling from his palm straight to his heart. He clearly realized that he had fallen again.
"When are you going to let go of my hand?" Gary abruptly asked.
"I . . ." Ludwig did not let go of Gary"s hand. Even if he was not very confident, he had already determined one thing, that was, Gary no longer rejected him and should even have a good impression of him.
In that case, why would he let go of his hold? But if he kept holding and squeezing Gary"s hand, maybe it would make Gary upset? After all, Gary had always liked to occupy the dominant position. "How about you come and hold my hand?"
Gary: ". . ."
"What are your plans for us?" Gary asked again.
"Everything’s up to you." Ludwig immediately replied. As long as Gary did not break up with him, everything was up to Gary.
"Okay, then I’ll set a date for us to go get the certificate." Gary said.
"!!!" Ludwig stared at Gary, feeling so happy he was about to pa.s.s out.
It was only over a month since Fred ascended the throne. Numerous media had just turned their sight away from the imperial family, and the imperial family broke another big news—the little prince who had not been exposed for long was going to get married!
Prince Gary would marry Colonel Ludwig Mund.
Edgar and Shu Shu did not oppose Gary"s decision at all, while Myer and Calvin were very happy—their son finally wouldn’t have to be lonely for a lifetime!
Both sides did not object, so naturally, the wedding was soon prepared . . . . And before the wedding, Gary received messages from Dr. Dean and Dr. Jones, whom had been examining him since he was a child. They hoped that he could go for a checkup.
Gary considered for a while and agreed.
Since he was born, he always went to them for checkups and to record his physical data. Now it seemed that he had to go for a pre-marital checkup. However, his current physical condition might scare Dr. Dean.
Dr. Dean always thought that he was an abnormal beastman, but he reckoned that his current body was already completely different from that of a beastman.
