I have known Claire for two lifetimes, and every time I contact him, I reply in seconds. This is the first time that I can't get through for a long time. Maybe he is busy? Xi Wei temporarily cut off Bai Lu's connection with Lan Xing, and sent him a text message: "Call me back when I'm free, I need you if I need something."
However, this text message was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no reply was received.
As the military commander, Claire was assigned to Planet Ryan to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Glory Legion's backup force. It's normal for the military to be busy. In case the Glory Legion is on the front line fighting with the Federation's enemy forces, Marshal Rosen needs support. Claire must be in place at any time. Therefore, it is normal for him not to receive the communication for a while, or for the communication signal to be disturbed.
Although all of this could be explained, the uneasiness in Xi Wei's heart became more and more intense, and the bad premonition weighed on him like a large dark cloud above his head, and he couldn't breathe. That night, he didn't close his eyes almost all night, fidgeting and waiting for Claire's reply. However, until dawn, the communication device on Bailu's side still didn't light up.
Xi Wei finally couldn't sit still, and immediately ran to see his father.
When he rushed to the palace where his father handled government affairs, he happened to meet a general coming out of it—it was Claire's father, Admiral Byron. This man is notoriously taciturn in the military department, and usually has an expressionless face, but today, his face seems to be strangely sad and heavy.
He glanced at Xi Wei, and seemed to hesitate to speak, but in the end he restrained himself, turned and left.
Xi Wei stared blankly at his back until His Majesty Trande's voice came from inside: "Is Xi Wei outside? Come in and talk."
Xi Wei, who came back to his senses, immediately turned around and walked into the palace, and asked anxiously, "Father, is something wrong with Claire? Why can't I contact him?"
His Majesty Trande was silent for a moment before stepping down from the throne, and said in a low voice: "Major General Claire was sent by the marshal to carry out a secret mission, and he may not be able to respond to you in a short period of time. His communication has been cut off, so don't worry. , he's fine."
"...Really?" Xi Wei couldn't believe it.
His Majesty Trande smiled and said: "Father will not lie to you. There are strict regulations on many tasks in the military department that cannot be told to anyone. In fact, I don't know what tasks Claire will perform. The news was told to me by the Marshal. .”
Hearing this, Xi Wei was finally relieved, but thinking of the heavy expression on the other side's face when he saw General Byron just now, Xi Wei couldn't help but worry and said: "I just saw General Byron's expression was not very good. Looks good, Claire's mission, isn't it dangerous?"
Trand was silent for a moment before saying, "Xi Wei, the reason you care about him so much is because you really love him, right?"
Xi Wei turned his head away in embarrassment, and whispered, "Father, tell me the truth."
Trand said: "As I told you, he is going to carry out a very difficult task. If he can succeed this time, his military exploits will be enough for him to be directly promoted to lieutenant general."
"What if it fails?" Xi Wei raised his head and asked.
Trander did not answer this question, but patted Xi Wei on the shoulder lightly and said, "Trust him."
The father's ambiguous answer made Xi Wei's mood even more entangled. However, he knew that the father had nothing to do. The Imperial Military Department was an independent system, and the military department never needed the royal family's approval to issue tasks. Claire was an imperial soldier. The greatest duty of a soldier is to obey orders. As long as it is a task assigned by his superiors, he cannot violate it.
Xi Wei left his father's palace sullenly.
After returning to his palace, Xi Wei asked Bailu to try to connect to Blue Star again. He knew that the communication would be cut off, but he still vaguely expected the blue star to jump out of the screen, twisting his body and saying that Ridiculous opening line: "Egret Egret, I miss you so much, have you missed me recently?"
I used to think that Lan Xing was very annoying, but now, Xi Wei actually missed that funny mecha that insisted on talking about relationship with Bai Lu, and... its owner.
"Master, the communication is still not connected. There should be no signal at all from Blue Star." Egret said softly, "I tried to search for Major General Claire's information on the Imperial Network, but I didn't find any useful clues. It seems that His Majesty is right. Wrong, he was sent by the marshal to carry out a secret mission."
"..." Xi Wei had no choice but to give up the idea of contacting Claire, and sat on the sofa frowning.
Now he can only believe that Claire can come back safely, as his father said.
Time passed quickly, and three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the mark on the back of Xi Wei's neck could no longer be seen clearly, and the pheromone smell belonging to Claire gradually dissipated.
Omega was temporarily marked by Alpha, and as time passed, it finally disappeared.
But Xi Wei was surprised to find that he still missed that person very strongly in his heart.
For three months, Claire hadn't heard from her, as if she had disappeared from this world. Xi Wei went to His Majesty Trande, Uncle Berg, and even Claire's house to ask Mrs. Grace...
But the result was the same answer: "Claire went on a mission, and the return date is uncertain."
No matter how anxious Xi Wei was, it was impossible for him to drive the egret directly to the battlefield to find him, right? What's more, Claire has no idea which galaxy he went to perform what mission.
——Damn the military secrecy system!
Xi Wei really hated that he couldn't become a soldier as an Omega, otherwise, he would be able to fight side by side with Claire!
On this day, Xi Wei finally couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the palace to find his friend Aide'an.
He hopes to get some news from Carlo. After all, Claire and Carlo have been in a good relationship over the years, and they have also been roommates in the military academy for four years. In addition, Carlo is currently the successor being trained by the Hydra Corps. Maybe can know something.
The result, however, was regrettable—Carlo's answer was the same as the others: "I don't know."
Xi Wei's face became more and more ugly, Aide'an couldn't bear it, he gently held Xi Wei's hand and said, "Don't worry too much, he will come back."
Carlo also echoed: "That's right, don't worry, he will come back."
Xi Wei had no choice but to change the subject and said, "You two are so close to each other, are you getting married soon?"
Carlo's face flushed suddenly, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, but Aidean smiled calmly and said, "Yes, we are going to get married on Christmas Day. I want to get the certificate in the morning, and then, the parents of both parties and the best It’s enough to have a meal with friends.”
Xi Wei looked at Carlo amusedly: "Didn't you say that you're going to have a grand wedding and marry Ed'an?"
Carlo quickly waved his hands and said, "Ed'an can do whatever he likes, he doesn't like to be noisy, so it's better to keep it simple."
Obviously, the estrangement between the two of them due to the wedding issue has disappeared long ago. Xi Wei knows that after thinking about it, as long as Aidean explains a few words in a gentle tone, Carlo will be dizzy and lost. If you get it, don't you just follow him in everything
Seeing that the two childhood sweethearts finally came together, Xi Wei was also very happy for them. He patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with a smile, "After you get married, you must treat my Aidean well. If you dare to bully him , See if I don't deal with you!"
Carlo hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "Absolutely not!"
Aidean smiled gently there, perhaps his decision to be with Carlo was a bit hasty, and his feelings for Carlo only reached the stage of liking and being touched.
But he knew that Carlo really loved him, and Carlo could give him the peaceful and peaceful life he wanted most.
That's enough, happiness is actually that simple.
At Christmas, Carlo and Aide'an got their marriage certificate smoothly. Carlo was as happy as a big child, and directly carried Aide'an all the way home.
From the first time I carried Aidean to the hospital when I was very young, then I sneaked away to see my sweetheart at Allen College and carried him down the mountain when I was in school, and this time, I directly carried my daughter-in-law home, Carlo felt that I simply became a winner in life.
Aidean didn't dress up much today, he was still wearing a very simple shirt and trousers, but in Carlo's eyes, his wife is really beautiful! Carlo can't wait to overwhelm him and eat him up...
However, the parents of both parties were still waiting, so Carlo had no choice but to restrain the desire in his heart, and took Aidean's hand to go to the Royal Hotel for dinner together.
Carlo booked a private room in advance, and only invited the parents of both parties, Carlo's grandfather Mr. Aston, uncle Drew, Mr. Berg and his good friend Xi Wei.
Reg is the matter of Aide'an's father, and only those present know. As for how Reg and Randy gave birth to Aide'an, the elders of the Carlo family wisely didn't ask too much.
The meal ended in a warm atmosphere.
General Drew said solemnly: "Although there is no grand wedding, from today onwards, the two young people of you are a formal husband and wife. From now on, you must respect each other, communicate in time if there are any conflicts, and live a good life."
As he spoke, he glanced at Berg next to him. Berg just smiled faintly, and gave Aidean a bracelet as a gift.
Randy was worried about his son, gently stroked Aide'an's soft hair, and said reluctantly: "After getting married, I should often go home to see my father. When I have a baby in the future, if I don't want to bring it, I will give it to my father. A child will be more lively, you know?"
Aidean was helpless at his own father's jumping thinking, nodded and said: "I know."
Carlo was so delighted that he wanted to get down on his knees and say to his father-in-law, "You're so handsome"—more kids, that's what he thought!
Reg said expressionlessly: "Treat Aide'an well, if you dare to bully him, see if I don't break your leg."
Carlo's back felt cold, and he quickly smiled and said, "No, it's too late for me to hurt him."
Xi Wei also gave two friends gifts, a pair of beautiful pillows, and Aidean happily accepted them.
After attending a simple wedding banquet with his friend, Xi Wei drove the Egret back to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace, Caesar greeted him excitedly and said, "Brother Wang, I have good news for you. acceptance letter!"
He held an exquisite paper notice in his hand, on which was the school emblem of the best military academy in the empire.
"I got full marks in the test." Caesar said happily.
Xi Wei patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad, good job!"
His Majesty prepared a small celebration banquet for Caesar, and the family celebrated in the queen's bedroom.
Although he was already full at Aide'an's place, Xi Wei still ate some fruit with him seeing his younger brother's excitement.
Caesar has finally grown up. As soon as the new year is over, Caesar will go to the military academy to formally study as an imperial soldier. Xi Wei believes that the environment of the St. Romia Military Academy is enough for his younger brother to complete a transformation.
After eating, Caesar went back first, and Xi Wei came to the queen's palace. He wanted to have a good chat with the queen, but unexpectedly found that the queen was hiding there and secretly wiping tears.
"Queen, what's the matter with you?" Xi Wei asked suspiciously, "You were fine just now, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Queen Anna hurriedly wiped away her tears, and forced a smile, "It's nothing, Caesar was admitted to the military academy, I... I'm just so happy."
However, Xi Wei sharply saw a photo that his mother had just taken out of the drawer - it was a photo taken by Claire and Carlo wearing military uniforms at the gate of the military academy when he was admitted to the military academy.
The two Alphas, who were admitted to the military academy at the age of 16, were rated by the media of the Empire as a rare prodigy in a century for a long time, and occupied the headlines of the major media of the Empire. It's just that after so many years, those comments have long been overwhelmed by other news.
Xi Wei looked at Claire's young and energetic appearance in the photo, and felt a sudden pain in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, where is Claire? Do you know something? Please, tell me the truth, okay?" ?”
Queen Anna's eyes were red again. She was silent for a long time before she hugged Xi Wei tightly and said with a sob: "Xi Wei, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... Claire... In fact, he was on military duty three months ago He disappeared at that time, and the military department has been looking for him, but there is no whereabouts... The marshal said that he may have been... buried in the Iswell galaxy... Your father was afraid that you would be sad, so he ordered everyone to hide it from you... "
Speaking of this, Queen Anna was already in tears.
Xi Wei listened blankly. At that moment, he suddenly had the feeling that his head was hit by a heavy hammer—what is a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and what is shocking news. It was only now that he finally realized it personally.
I see.
No wonder the father's answers are always ambiguous every time, no wonder the uncle Wang has been avoiding questions about Claire, no wonder the expression on General Byron's face when he met that day...
Blue Star's communicator could not be contacted for such a long time, in fact, I should have guessed it a long time ago.
Thinking that that person might have been buried in the vast universe, Xi Wei's heart suddenly convulsed like a convulsion. He clenched his fists tightly together, and he didn't even pierce his nails into his palms to catch blood. find.
In the winter of 798 years of the cosmic calendar, December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Carlo and Ed'an received a marriage certificate and successfully married, and Caesar received the admission letter from the St. Romia Military Academy.
After Xi Wei attended his friend's wedding banquet and his younger brother's celebration banquet...
But heard the news of Claire's death.
In just one night, he experienced all the joys and sorrows in the world. He thought that he had acted in many sad scripts, and he had cried bitterly for the death of relatives and friends in the scripts, but it was really at this moment that he realized that the heaviest sadness is the absence of tears of.
Because he couldn't cry anymore.
