A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 123
Chapter 123
123. The Gay Little Prince, Part 12
The emperor of the Beastman Empire was about to change again . . . .
Although the previous emperor Chris abdicated early, he was not too young when he abdicated. What about Edgar now? He was only over sixty years old and looked very young, yet he was actually going to abdicate!
Edgar had done a lot of things during his thirty years on the throne, and Shu Shu's charity project had also reached the peak. This made the people of the Beastman Empire feel very melancholy and unwilling to let go after confirming the news.
In this way, there were fewer and fewer people discussing Gary online. Still, there were some people who had been dissatisfied with the imperial family and now tirelessly vilified Gary online, but they were often scolded back by netizens as soon as they cropped up.
Even at this time, they still had time to keep staring at Gary over those trifles!
Although it was not right for a beastman to beat a sub-beastman, if they themselves met such a malicious sub-beastman, they also wanted to beat him, ah!
Gary was still paying attention to these at first, but then he did not bother to care about it and began to continue studying mechs instead.
Although the mech he previously used was great, it was not the most suitable for him. Now, he wanted to make a mech suitable for him and then . . . give it as a present to his mother.
His father and mother planned to go out and have fun just like his grandfather and grandmother after abdicating. He planned to give them something as a gift, and the most suitable one was naturally a mech.
Thinking of himself having made a mech for Green but not for his close relatives, Gary could not help but feel guilty, so he was even more motivated. In this way, he completely ignored Ludwig.
Of course, he did this with a little evasive mind too.
Ludwig was four years younger than him, and he used to think of him as a younger brother. It would inevitably take a little while before he could adapt to the other party’s pursuit.
Gary felt that he needed to calm down, so he simply turned off his communication device and refused to take everyone’s call. Ludwig was extremely anxious when he ran into this situation.
Before, he did not dare to confess because he was worried that they could not even be friends after he confessed. Now . . . although Gary had hinted that he could pursue him, Gary clearly did not give him the opportunity to do it.
If he continued to make no progress, wouldn’t Gary like others someday?
Ludwig was extremely fretful. He even went to find Fred several times, but unfortunately, Fred could not see him.
"Mother, have you contacted Gary?" Ludwig went to ask as soon as Myer came back home.
Myer saw his son, who was more than a head taller than himself, look at him eagerly and was a little helpless. "I contacted him, but the call didn’t go through." Gary should have turned off his communication device, so no one of them were able to contact him.
Ludwig suddenly felt a little lost.
Watching his son, Myer felt resentful towards him for failing to meet expectations as well as impatient to see some improvement, but he also felt a little weird. He had once liked Edgar, and although he had completely forgotten Edgar after being with Calvin, there was always a little preoccupation in his heart. As it happened, his son fell in love with Edgar's son.
Ludwig was really a bit like himself back then . . . . Myer could not help but laugh bitterly.
He was very angry when he first learned that Ludwig liked a beastman, but his son kept insisting on it, so he had no choice but to eventually agree . . . . He felt a little guilty towards Ludwig.
He did not reduce his workload when he was pregnant with Ludwig. It did not matter at first, but unfortunately, there was an accident before he gave birth. He received a shock to the extent that he gave birth to Ludwig prematurely.
It was fine if Ludwig was merely born prematurely, but his eggshell was also broken . . . . The eggs birthed by others could be carried around casually, but the egg he gave birth to was sent to the emergency room and then had to be placed in a special incubator . . . .
Later, Ludwig could not even get out of the shell smoothly. He only got out of the shell with the help of a doctor.
He was so tiny and weak, and all the doctors at that time felt that he could not live for long. It could be said that he and Calvin were heartbroken over him.
In the end, it was Shu Shu who made Ludwig, whom would not be able to survive in the ordinary course of events, remain alive and even healthier than ordinary people . . . . Because of this, although he would feel weird when facing Shu Shu, he was also very grateful.
If his son liked others, he might still be able to oppose it longer, but if it was Gary . . . .
"Ludwig, if you really want to be with Gary, give him the beast bead." Myer suddenly said. Nowadays, he did not expect anything else and only hoped that his son could get together with Gary.
He had already given it, but Gary did not want it . . . . Ludwig was heavy-hearted, but he did not tell his mother about this matter and just answered, "Yeah."
"Even if Gary doesn't want to see you now, he’ll certainly see you when Fred ascends the throne a few days later. You go sort yourself out well." Myer said again.
Ludwig finally got his spirit back.
Gary had never appeared in front of the media before, but now his identity had been exposed, so naturally, there was no need to hide it again.
He basically didn't pay attention to dressing up when he was in the military, but this time, there was a special stylist hired to take care of his appearance and dress him up in accordance with his temperament, which actually made his attractiveness index increase rapidly.
Ludwig stared at Gary from a distance with a particularly hot gaze.
Green, who was resting at home, saw Gary through the live broadcast on the star network, and his eyes were full of regret. Gary was as dazzling as a little prince; no, it should be said that he was indeed a little prince. What about him? What was his current self?
After a series of complicated ceremonies, the emperor of the Beastman Empire became Fred, and most of the imperial family's industries were also handed over to Fred. Of course, one of them became Gary's.
Gary suddenly became one of a few richest people in the whole Empire.
At the end of the ceremony, the media left, but the top figures of the Beastman Empire were all transferred to the imperial palace to participate in the banquet held by the imperial family.
Recently, several empresses did not like to hold banquets. It was truly not easy for them to go to the imperial palace to participate in a banquet . . . . Many people were deeply moved when they stepped into the imperial palace.
Ludwig was also deeply moved. He and Gary had known each other since they were children, but the number of times he had entered the imperial palace could be counted on his fingers . . . .
"Ludwig, I heard you’re pursuing Prince Gary?" A beastman came to Ludwig’s side and patted Ludwig on the shoulder.
"Yeah." Ludwig admitted as he swept his gaze all around the place, looking for Gary.
The man who talked with Ludwig was one of Ludwig’s friends. Seeing Ludwig like this, he could not help but "tsk tsk". "I’ve long known that you like beastmen, but I didn’t expect that the one you like is actually the little prince."
"Yeah." Ludwig answered absent-mindedly. He . . . did not find Gary.
"I didn't expect you to really like beastmen, Ludwig! My younger brother is extremely broken-hearted this time." Another man came to Ludwig’s side.
Although Ludwig spent most of the years in the military, he also lived in the capital star for one month each year and knew a lot of people. And now, these people had gathered around him and asked about his news.
"Ludwig, haven’t you and the little prince known each other very early? You actually didn’t tell us about it. You’re really not a good friend."
"Ludwig, is the little prince easy to get along with? Is he really the same as you, liking beastmen?"
"Ludwig, are you together yet?"
"Except for the two imperial princes, you’re the most remarkable man in the capital star. Don't worry, the little prince will surely like you."
. . . . . .
Not being able to find Gary and having his scars mentioned time and time again, Ludwig's mood was getting worse and worse. When a robot carrying wine glided past, he took a glass and drained it in one gulp.
Ludwig had been staying in the military where he could not drink. He did not drink much or like to drink, but this time, after one drink, he could not help drinking the second and third glasses.
"Bold!" The friends around Ludwig said one after another.
Ludwig picked up and drank another glass of wine.
"Look, the imperial family has come out." Someone said. Ludwig promptly turned his head and saw the imperial family appear together. Of course, his eyes could only see Gary.
Gary had changed to another set of formal attire and looked more handsome than before! Ludwig stared stupidly, and the whole person was stunned.
Two of Ludwig’s friends who were standing beside him glanced at Ludwig, and one by one could not bear to look straight at him and turned their heads. They never expected that Ludwig, who was always very cold, would actually show such a love-struck expression . . . . That beastman named Gary looked a bit like Empress Shu Shu; although he looked very good, he was definitely not a great beauty, ah!
Ludwig's gaze was burning hot, and Gary could not ignore him at all and only felt that he was weird.
"Gary, Ludwig has been watching you." Shu Shu turned his head and said to Gary mysteriously.
"I know, Mother . . ." Gary turned his gaze towards his mother a little speechlessly. It was simply unnecessary for his mother to remind him about it, ah . . . .
Edgar only spoke a few simple words to introduce Gary, whom had never appeared in front of everyone before, and then took Gary to meet some people.
During this period, a gaze was firmly locked on Gary.
Many people at the banquet were watching Gary, but that one gaze was really too ardent. Gary could ignore other gazes but was unable to ignore it.
After Edgar had taken Gary to meet all the people he had to see, Gary took a deep breath and headed for Ludwig, who was standing not far away and staring at him fixedly. "You come with me."
"Okay!" Ludwig nodded vigorously. His eyes brightened, but he also looked stupid again.
Gary smelled the strong scent of alcohol on Ludwig’s body once he got close to him, so he took a second look at Ludwig’s appearance . . . . This man did not seem right; he was . . . drunk?
Gary walked over to the lounge upstairs, and Ludwig blindly followed suit behind him. Soon the two entered the lounge.
"Sit down." Gary said and found a sofa to sit down himself.
However, Ludwig did not sit down. Rather, he suddenly knelt in front of Gary, "I like you, Gary!"
Gary's heart jumped, and then he saw Ludwig take out his own beast bead again.
"For you, Gary."
"You keep . . ." Before Gary's words were finished, a beast bead with body temperature was already stuffed in his hand.
"I really like you, Gary. If you don't want it, just throw it away!" Ludwig said and then shook his head again. "No, you can't throw it away. It’ll be bad if you throw it away, and it’s picked up by someone else. If you don't want it, just destroy it."
Gary held the beast bead in his hand, always feeling that his hand was a bit hot. "You’re drunk, Ludwig."
"I'm not drunk; I'm very sober. I want you to see my determination. Except for you, I won't be with anyone else, and the beast bead will also be useless." Ludwig said.
Ludwig was clearly drunk, and it made no sense to talk with such a drunkard. Gary, holding the beast bead, tried to stuff it into Ludwig’s mouth. "Swallow it, and stop making trouble."
Ludwig stared at Gary foolishly. Then, unexpectedly, he snatched the beast bead from Gary's hand and was going to crush it forcefully. "I'll just destroy it. I’ve already given it to you, and I’ll never take it back again . . ."
Not waiting for Ludwig to really destroy the beast bead in his hand, Gary at once slapped him on the back of his head and directly knocked him out.
