Chapter 058, White Roses
One of the Empire"s six major legions, the Rose Legion, is a force belonging to the Shaman family. The insignia on their warships is a blooming white rose. The uniforms of the entire legion are also uniformly pure white. A rose looks as if it is beautiful, but is actually br.i.m.m.i.n.g with danger. This is the meaning the ancestors of the Shaman family put forth when they named the legion after it.
Lin Yuan had previously reviewed the glorious histories of each major legion of the Empire before he applied to the military academy. As a military school student, he certainly knew the well-known name of General Udir Shaman.
— One of the military powers, a general with four gold stars on his shoulder, and the current head of the Rose Legion.
It is said that he is an elegant as well as a gallant man, he has handsome looks and he has long blond hair with sky-blue azure eyes.
Although Udir is a high-ranking officer, his behavior is extremely sentimental. In regards to his studies in various plants and flowers, it is comparable to that of an expert botanist. On top of that, he hasn"t yet taken a wife after so many years. He was voted in at first place for the Empire"s Prime Bachelor by some gossip forums......
What makes many people confused is that the Omega a.s.sociation has already repeatedly sent General Udir a variety of characters of Omegas from pure blood in recent years. All of them without exception have been rejected by him under the lines of "dislike". There are even rumors that he a very unconventional "Celibatarian".
(TN: Direct definition would be something like "One who follows single/unmarried ideology " Celibatarians is just as it sounds, one who is celibate and is against having s.e.x and getting married. I don"t think it is a common term so abusing my power to throw a TN in here!)
Lin Yuan only knows this much about General Udir.
This generalissimo suddenly sent someone to come looking for him. While Lin Yuan was shocked he was also somewhat flattered at the same time.
The man in front of him was evidently an officer of the Rose Legion, dressed in a pure white military uniform from head to toe with an elegant rose insignia on his cuff, and two silver five-pointed stars on his shoulders representing his rank of lieutenant colonel. At this moment, the strange officer was looking at himself with a serious expression.
Lin Yuan was stunned and immediately and respectfully said: "Sir, please allow me to change my clothes."
The man nodded and said: "I will wait for you at the door."
No matter what the reason is since General Udir has a matter concerning him to call upon him, as a soldier, he must obey the commands of his superiors.
Although Lin Yuan"s heart was a little uneasy, he nevertheless turned and walked into the room. He changed into his neat and clean blue military uniform and straightened out his appearance in the mirror.
When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Caesar was surprisingly also rapidly changing his clothes. Lin Yuan puzzledly said: "Caesar?"
Caesar looked at Lin Yuan with a firm gaze and said: "I will accompany you."
Last time he attended the birthday banquet of Old Mr. Aston, Lin Yuan disappeared for more than ten hours before he was discovered and he was ruthlessly criticized by the Marshal. If he lets Lin Yuan go to meet with General Udir alone this time and the Marshal became aware of it, he might just immediately rip his skin off.
Moreover, Caesar also does not trust Lin Yuan to meet with Udir by himself.
If by any chance that strange man discovered that Lin Yuan is an Omega, something may happen.
Caesar walked with deliberate steps and went behind Lin Yuan and carefully examined the mark on the back of his neck.
Lin Yuan had just pasted a transparent bio-gel on that place, covering the whole imprint. But when all was said and done he pasted it by blindly feeling about, the adhesive was slightly askew. Caesar gently flattened the transparent adhesive with his fingers.
The warm fingertips slid across his neck, Lin Yuan immediately shrank back his neck, saying: "Don"t touch there, it"s ticklish......"
In reality, it was not ticklish. That moment when Caesar touched the indented mark, his whole body felt like it had electricity running through it. His back arches up in a strange shudder and his body gets feverish. Lin Yuan couldn"t help but think — Omegas are truly inconvenient, as soon as the mark on their neck is touched, their whole body goes soft. Because of this mark, he can never become a Beta.
However, he also could not blame Caesar for this reason. After all, the situation was dire and Caesar marked him for lack of a better option.
— Caesar is still very loyal.
Caesar was entirely unaware that he had been promoted from "a pretty good roommate" to "a loyal good bro" in Lin Yuan"s heart.
He helped Lin Yuan adjust the position of the adhesive plaster, the bio-gel quickly changed into the same color as the surrounding skin. Only until all traces were thoroughly obscured did Caesar take back his hand and said in a low voice: "General Udir only ordered you to go alone, if I follow right after you it will cause him to be suspicious. I will wait for you nearby in a bit." Caesar gave Lin Yuan a micro-communicator, "This is connected to White Feather"s intelligence center. If something happens, immediately press it I will come in with White Feather to help you."
White Feather said excitedly: "Lin Yuan, quickly take it! I will be just outside with Master ready at all times and eager at any moment to save the both of you!"
Lin Yuan quizzically said: " ......both of us?"
White Feather said: "You and Predecessor Suzaku ah!"
Suzaku pretended to not hear anything.
Lin Yuan couldn"t help but laugh and touch the dark red s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton on the chest.
He felt that Caesar was excessively worrying a bit. That General Udir had honorably without using any devious means sent someone to find him, there shouldn"t be any bad intentions, right? He is a student of a military academy and he has also never offended him. Is there really any problem if there"s something he needs to ask?
However, Caesar and White Feather"s concern still made Lin Yuan"s heart feel warm. He took the communicator from his hand and carefully put it in his pocket. Lin Yuan looked up at Caesar and said earnestly: "Rest a.s.sured, I will be careful."
Caesar nodded his head and looked at Lin Yuan with a tender gaze, "Go, I will secretly follow you guys with White Feather later on. "
***
The officer waited at the hotel entrance. Seeing Lin Yuan coming out, he made an inviting gesture.
Lin Yuan smiled politely at him and followed after him on the vehicle.
What puzzled Lin Yuan was that there was no military coat of arms on the vehicle sent to pick up. Instead, it was a very new private car. The car also did not go to the military district"s headquarters, but rather in the other direction to another city relatively farther away from the central city.
......where is this heading to?
As the vehicle got farther and farther away from the city, Lin Yuan"s doubts were also growing larger and larger.
