A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

The Alliance Director turned off the photo projector, plunging the study into a brief, surreal dimness.

It was noon, but the moment the extremely bright projection was turned off, it still gave the illusion that it had been dark for a moment.

The Alliance Director's gray eyes, hidden behind his glasses, gleamed sharply. "You've seen the holographic image of His Highness the Crown Prince, haven't you? Do you find him beautiful?"

Ferdinand's Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally found his voice: "Dad, you mean... you mean..."

"We need to add a variable to the interactions between Liernia and the military."

"I'm supposed to find... find that person who came to Earth to marry General Takamagaru..."

"Crown Prince of Leonia, Carolius Skelway."

The Alliance Director picked up his bone china teacup, the bottom of which tapped against the tray with a soft sound, and Ferdinand's spine stiffened.

"An omega crown prince, an omega crown prince who is willing to give up a lot of resources for his lover, and even after marrying him, he can directly reach the center of power in the universe."

"My God, what a perfect creature." The Alliance Director chuckled. "He's amazing, a natural stepping stone. Anyone who steps on him can rise to the top in one leap."

Cold sweat trickled down his spine, soaking his back. Ferdinand watched his father stir the dark brown liquid with a teaspoon, stammering, "But that one, after all, is the crown prince of a level five civilization, they are so powerful..."

"So what? He's still a female. He can be controlled by pheromones, by emotions, and he'll give everything for another person," the Alliance Director said.

"As long as he is female, he cannot escape this nature. The maternal instinct to give everything for love and family is the underlying logic of the female brain. Once you win his heart, he will be your little kitten. This is the truth of the universe."

"Do you think I have a chance to get close to this Crown Prince?"

The teaspoon rests on the rim of the cup.

The Alliance Secretary smiled for the first time that evening.

He was very old, his face was covered with wrinkles, and when he smiled, the shadows accumulated in the wrinkles made him look like a mannequin.

"Not close."

"What?"

"It's about making him infatuated with you."

The Alliance Director gazed at his son and said ambiguously, "Emotions need a core to anchor them. Crown Prince Liernia's love can be anchored in the highest heavens of humanity; if that's the case, why can't it be you?"

"Your mother gave you a beautiful face."

"You should be glad you're attractive enough and have a likable personality. Use the same patience you have for comforting other omega families. Trust me, son, you're no worse than that Major General Gao Tian."

Ferdinand shuddered uncontrollably.

His father knows everything.

He has a penchant for married women and will seduce the wives of other colleagues.

He did indeed seduce many women.

As long as it's not marked, it won't be discovered.

He was only twenty-four years old and had been working in the government for less than two years. Before that, he had only done ordinary administrative work, and when his life lacked excitement, he would seek out some thrills.

However, he did not expect to be involved in this level of competition so soon.

As my fingers unconsciously caressed my cufflinks, they touched the cold family crest, the bald eagle's talons gripping an olive branch.

I heard that their family crest comes from their national emblem from ancient Earth.

Bald eagles are greedy birds.

"But Crown Prince Lyrnia's attitude towards Major General Takada doesn't seem fake..."

"So you must become his new true love. No one doubts true love, but true love is fickle; if you can love one, you can love another. Even if you can't stop this marriage, you must at least become the unattainable thing he keeps thinking about on his wedding night when he tosses and turns."

The Alliance Director pushed away his teacup.

"What the military can give, we can give too. And what the military can't give..." The Alliance Director looked at him, "only my successor can give. You should be able to, right?"

Ferdinand stared at the loose skin and age spots on the back of the Alliance Director's hand, recalling Major General Gao Tian, ​​whom he had seen on the big screen a few days earlier.

Young, strong, and powerful.

"Perhaps the Crown Prince of Liernia doesn't like my type?"

The old director laughed out loud, and something in that laughter made Ferdinand feel uncomfortable.

"Don't like your type? Do you think omegas have a specific type of partner they like? No, they don't. They just like people who are good to them. As long as someone is good to them, they can easily fall in love with them. No matter what kind of person that is, no matter what their purpose is, no matter if they are a scumbag or not."

Ferdinand frowned slightly.

He felt that what his father said was a bit of an exaggeration, since his mother was also an omega.

Omegas are people too, and people can fall in love with those who are good to them; that's not wrong.

Does his father think that his mother was stupid for falling in love with him and marrying him?

"Dad, I think..."

"Give him a little treat, so that when he's with that Major General Gao Tian, ​​he keeps thinking about you."

Before Ferdinand could finish speaking, the Commissioner of the Union interrupted him.

The Alliance Director looked up at him.

He was quite old, yet his eyes remained as sharp as ever. His irises were a rare silver-gray, not cloudy, and his pupils were clear, like those of some inhuman, noble feline.

Ferdinand did not inherit his eye color. His eye color was the same as his mother's, a gentle brown.

The alliance director said, "Don't try to refute me. I can give birth to you, so I can naturally give birth to your younger brother."

Ferdinand swallowed the resistance that surged to the tip of his tongue.

"Go and pay a visit to the Crown Prince this afternoon on my behalf." The Alliance Director opened his encrypted terminal, and the state guesthouse pass was transmitted from his terminal to Ferdinand's terminal: "Just in time, I received news that Major General Gao Tian will not be with the Crown Prince for the next two days. I have already arranged for the Crown Prince to stay at the state guesthouse."

He had already arranged everything, leaving Ferdinand with no option to refuse.

Ferdinand stood there, feeling a little dizzy and his vision blurred.

His father didn't even allow him to refuse.

What if he doesn't want to? What if he already has someone he loves?

In his dazed state, he heard himself say, "Dad, I need to... to what extent do I need to go?"

The Alliance Director took a memory chip from a drawer, its metallic surface reflecting a cold light: "This is Major General Gao Tian's personality analysis and hobby analysis. Here, take it, and then study it."

Ferdinand stepped forward.

The Alliance Director placed the chip in his son's palm. "Remember, getting the Crown Prince of Liernia to voluntarily change his marriage partner would be a perfect score. If that's not possible, at least secure a position close to him. Ideally, get all of Liernia's support for the military to the Alliance. If not all of it, at least half."

The chip had sharp, pointed edges, and Ferdinand gripped it tightly.

"You won't let me down, will you?" The Alliance Director looked at him with a smile.

"I will do it," Ferdinand said, his voice trembling.

At this moment, I finally felt the pressure my father had exerted as the leader of the political party for over thirty years.

He felt cold all over and was sweating profusely.

He had no autonomy whatsoever. He was his father's puppet.

The warmth of home is an illusion.

In reality, the mother is the father's vase; he is the little vase born from the big vase.

Perhaps to the Alliance Director, everyone is merely a tool.

His wife and son were no exception.

"I'll go prepare right away."

As Ferdinand turned, his knee hit the corner of the table.

A high-level alpha's body wouldn't be seriously injured by the impact of the wood, but the feeling of the hard, heavy wooden corner hitting his skin and bones still hurt him a lot.

He subconsciously glanced back.

The Alliance Director had already opened his communication interface again and was talking to someone. His profile, bathed in the vibrant sunlight, resembled a stone sculpture.

He didn't notice Ferdinand's gaze.

Ferdinand turned and walked out of the study.

Ha, what is he thinking?

Do you want to receive comforting looks from your father after falling down, just like when you were a child?

As he left the study, Ferdinand gave the Commissioner of the Union one last look.

The Alliance Director was smiling as he made a communication call.

His smile always gave him the appearance of a very kind old man, but this time Ferdinand saw clearly that there was a cold calculation deep in his eyes.

Human political leaders.

Ferdinand went downstairs.

First floor.

His mother had already directed the chef to set out lunch, a large table full of delicious-looking food, and she was now sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a surprised expression.
