"Thank you for watching us, General," said Nordian, holding back tears.
"We are so grateful to you," Weim replied with a happy face.
"Thank you, General!" exclaim Arex and Sey too, simultaneously.
They stood up, and with a small smile, Arex said to Xyon, "General, we have been living in a child shelter for a long time, which is not far from the palace. We are unexpected children, and unwanted by our parents for certain reasons.”
“I even heard from the caretaker of that building, if we were children who did not comply with the wishes of our parents, because the Wormbye used turned out to be problematic, he said, or doctors who do not have good skills,” said Nordian.
"We were actually old enough to leave the place, however, since no one was willing to take us out of there, we thought of taking a free class held by Senior General Derix, who was not there, outside the palace," Weim replied.
"We started taking that class and thought about going inside the palace, becoming galactic guard soldiers. In the end, we went out there, and here we are now, General," Sey said with a sad face, "We even really like you, General Xyon, a lot, who managed to become a general with the highest and youngest scores among the participants of the royal exam yesterday.”
Xyon let out a long sigh after listening to that sad story, yet his face showed absolutely no expression.
"Alright, I will try to be fair to the other soldiers, but, if you need me, do not hesitate to ask. Anyway our age isn't too far away, and I don't really like formal calls. Just call me by my own name. Your training will start tomorrow, come back now" Xyon said with a stern face this time.
"Okay, General!" the four exclaimed together, then they lowered their heads, and left Xyon alone there.
The young general then looked at their backs with an annoyed face.
"I didn't think that there were also immortal beings who behaved like mortal humans. Innocent children will always be the victims of the selfishness of both parents. However, the soldiers and generals who lived within the royal palace of Palladina, were not the ones in charge of punishing such an old man. The officials who are law enforcement in the Supreme Court are supposed to act. Father and Mother seemed to be right, my knowledge of the universe is still very limited" he murmured softly.
He then walked into the palace. The blue sky of Palladina, illuminated by light from its parent star, Goldinian, apparently hides many unexpected stories and stories. Naturally no one would have thought that Nordian, Arex, Sey, and Weim were children discarded by their parents.
Six years quickly passed, leaving behind many memories and longings that until now had not been able to be conveyed. Due to the deep sadness of not being able to meet Hyerin, Xyon would always look for her own busyness.
He even managed to pass the royal school exam with the highest score, but he was not at all happy with the results. Hyerin continuously filled her mind, until Xyon could not sleep well every night.
He was indeed very diligent and diligent in every task given to him, without any day to rest, he would always teach the new soldiers from morning to evening. In the evening, he would specifically teach Nordian, Weim, Arex, and Sey, just out of loneliness. They eventually became very close to each other.
“It's just that Dad gave me so many tasks and galactic patrols, because .. Hyerin can't be lost from my memory, he said,” muttered Xyon in his mind as he was sitting in the backyard of the palace with the starry night sky, alone.
One day, Xyon was seen in the backyard of the palace alone, resting under a large cool tree.
A man seemed to be running hastily towards him. The man then sat down next to Xyon until the young General lowered his head to salute him.
"Your Majesty,” said Xyon quietly.
"Xyon," replied the man, Arnea, taking a deep breath of exhaustion after running to and fro.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Your Majesty?” ask the young general.
"Father and Mother are very worried thinking about me," replied Arnea with a riled face.
Xyon then looked at Arnea with a serious face and asked again, "What are His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Empress worried about you?"
"Ah, look, Klara and I have been married for six years but have not been given any children. That's what they're worried about," Arnea replied as she stroked her face once.
"Then, Your Majesty?" ask Xyon again.
"Again, it was my father who gave me such a task until late at night!" exclaimed Arnea with an annoyed face.
"Because you are the sole successor of this kingdom, aren't you?" reply Xyon with a flat face.
Arnea let out a long sigh, then said, "Ah, Xyon, what if you accompany us to Planet Earth? I've asked Mom for permission to at least be allowed to take a vacation, just three days. So I can be alone with my wife.”
“Why don't you use Wormbye?” reply the young general.
“Wormbye? I'm not ready, Xyon. I just want to have fun first. Having a child is a heavy thing, isn't it?” arnea asked as she scrunched her forehead.
"Senior General Derix won't allow me to go back there" Xyon said with no expression on his face.
"No way! Has he dared to go against my orders?! Or will he take care of me and my wife there, take your place as my personal bodyguard?!" exclaimed Arnea suddenly in a high tone.
Xyon now let out a short sigh, then shook his head once and replied, "After all, you will be alone, Your Majesty.”
"Xyon, no. I must take you, just in case something happens to me or my wife," Arnea replied with teary eyes.
"However, Your Highness, this galaxy is very peaceful. Only a few aliens from other universes can sometimes wreak havoc on the galactic end, right?" said his personal bodyguard.
Arnea immediately became upset because of the remark.
"You'll never know how lonely I am. Klara was formerly Her Royal Highness Princess Osmia, before becoming my wife. He'd rather go to his home planet, and I'm here busy training some young warriors, like you. General Xyon, you're my only friend, so I really hope you can come with me, so I have a good reason to get out of here for a while," exclaimed the Crown Prince with a face expression that began to wistfully.
