Arc 7: Chapter 30
As the ruler of the empire, Youhe Hovis and Bai Cen’s wedding was the center of attention.
Countless guests were invited, from noble families to generals, to ministers, celebrities, and numerous reporters.
The whole wedding was also being broadcast live on the StarNet, so that everyone could witness this prosperous event.
The camera frequently focused on Wei Feng and Lin Yuan, and the bullet screen was very lively.
[After their divorce, I wonder if the Marshal is a little regretful? After all, they were married for six years, even if they didn’t make a mark, they probably still had feelings for each other.]
[Not saying that Lin Yuan isn’t good, he makes quite a good match standing next to the Marshal, but if the Marshal and his ex-wife didn’t have all those obstacles between them, they would’ve been a fairy couple.]
[I don’t believe the Marshal doesn't have his ex-wife in his heart. Bai Cen is his first Omega, how can he forget him so easily? He’ll remember for a lifetime]
[Lifetime my a**! If my Omega was like Bai Cen, I would spend money and beg him to divorce okay?]
[Tsk, some people have no conscience. Bai Cen was unwilling to bear responsibility, but you say the Marshal should still have him in his heart? Who’re you trying to disgust?]
[I think they’re trying to disgust me. Is a 100% pheromone match a joke? Did you not see the Marshal’s change in attitude after the divorce? He and Lin Yuan have been the most famous couple on campus, living together near the school, and dropping him off and picking him up every day. The two of them couldn’t be any closer.]
[A student of Imperial University here. They aren’t just loving, they’re really really really really really loving! Whenever Lin Yuan came to school after his heat period, no Alpha could appear within ten meters of him for a week!]
[So loving, why don’t they get married? Only explanation is he’s still thinking about his first wife.]
[Sicko, it’s none of your business if other people get married.]
Lin Yuan sat and waited. He felt a little bored and began to fiddle with the flowers on the table.
Wei Feng was also bored. He took off his white gloves and pulled the Omega’s hand, gently tracing on the Omega’s soft palm.
B, a, b, y.
R, a, b, b, i, t.
Lin Yuan ignored the Alpha, but his blushing ears betrayed him.
Wei Feng let go of his hand and spread his own palm, meaning that it was Lin Yuan’s turn to write on him.
Lin Yuan looked left and right with a little guilt and then shyly grabbed Wei Feng’s hand and wrote slowly.
H, u, s, b, a, n, d.
Wei Feng smiled softly. Bright sunlight danced across his face, adding a layer of warmth onto his blue eyes. He wrote on the Omega’s hand again.
After today, gift me a rose, okay?
Lin Yuan liked the idea and nodded, and wrote back.
Ok, I’ll give you the most beautiful rose.
Not far away, white doves lifted baskets of fresh flower petals and spread their pure, white wings, flying into the clear sky. Melodious music weaved through the wind, and everyone quieted down.
Youhe Hovis stepped out onto the high platform. Wearing a well-cut white suit, his handsome face exuded dignity and nobility.
On his left lapel was a brooch inlaid with a beautiful blue diamond, transparent and pure, like the color of the ocean.
Lin Yuan noticed the brooch at first glance, and then looked at Wei Feng’s eyes.
Very similar, but his husband’s eyes were the most beautiful.
Lin Yuan’s pinky hooked the Alpha’s and swayed gently, like he was being spoiled. Wei Feng’s heart softened, and he interlocked their hands together.
Youhe walked down the stairs onto the stage. Bai Cen appeared at the end of the aisle, holding his father’s arm, and walked towards Youhe step by step.
It was a beautiful picture. Under the gaze of the entire empire, being together with the one you love. But…
Lin Yuan felt like the stairs were as white as bones, and the carpet was as red as blood.
Bai Cen and Youhe stood facing each other, and proceeded with their union according to the royal ceremony.
The guests sitting all smiled and clapped thunderously, sending their blessings.
The last step of the ceremony was a kiss. The handsome imperial monarch leaned closer towards Bai Cen, his beloved Omega, and their lips were just about to touch, finishing their marriage, but then…
“Wait a minute.”
Someone’s voice interrupted the ceremony.
Youhe, Bai Cen, and every guest turned their heads and saw a handsome man in the first row stand up. The scar across his face was fierce under the bright sunlight.
All eyes were on him, and then in the next second looked towards Lin Yuan.
The netizens on the live broadcast had exploded immediately.
Why is the Marshal stopping the wedding? Wasn’t the Marshal who wanted to divorce Bai Cen, did he regret now? What’s going on?
Youhe stood on the stage and looked down at Wei Feng condescendingly with the posture of a monarch. He smiled elegantly and asked: “Marshal, do you have something to say?”
In a trance, Bai Cen looked at Wei Feng and seemed to hear his heart pound. Even the scar on the Marshal’s face didn’t seem as terrible as before.
But he quickly composed himself. He knew logically that Wei Feng didn’t have feelings for him at all, so why did Wei Feng want to stop the ceremony? He inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Wei Feng walked towards the center of the aisle and slowly made a noble salute: “Your Majesty, there’s something that needs to be dealt with today, I hope Your Majesty can understand my rudeness.”
Everyone was confused. What matter needed to be dealt with at a wedding ceremony except for getting married?
Youhe frowned slightly: “Marshal, what needs to be dealt with today that can’t be postponed to tomorrow?”
Wei Feng’s eyes sharpened: “This matter must be dealt with today.”
He opened his optical terminal and projected a holographic screen that was glaring in the sun.
“This is an encrypted message from eight years ago, which was supposed to be buried where no one would ever see.”
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 37%.】
“But no matter how deep something is buried, as long as you dig hard enough, you can always find it.”
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 29%.】
“The truth should not be buried. The whole empire deserves to know. Sins should be judged equally, whether the sinner is an ordinary person, or the emperor.”
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 21%.】
Wei Feng looked at Youhe’s panicked face and couldn’t help raising the corners of his lips.
He clicked on a message and an extremely familiar face appeared, a younger version of the emperor today.
The young Youhe said: “Hello, Mr. Francis.”
Mr. Francis? Who?
A rough voice answered: “Crown Prince of the empire, why are you looking for an interstellar pirate like me?”
What?! Was this Mr. Francis, the worst criminal in the history of the empire?
Wei Feng looked around at all of the nobles, generals, and reporters and felt an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart.
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 17%.】
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 9%.】
Lin Yuan listened to the system prompts and didn’t feel as excited as he expected.
Even though Wei Feng was also a victim of the war, he was the only one who shouldered all of the responsibility of finding and exposing the truth.
All of these years, without the truth, the war was never really over. All of the people on the ruined border, the soldiers who lost their normal lives, and their families who were also broken, this war was a pain that would never disappear.
Thankfully, under the sun, there was no shadow that would hide forever.
