4.3 – By now, it was almost time for the royal family to fall

Xue Ling woke up early the next day after a wonderful night’s rest. He rolled around in bed a few times, then opened the nano-computer and began to look through the Empire’s daily news.
People still seemed to be immersed in the grand wedding celebrations from two days ago. The royal family announced in the morning that His Highness Prince had left the capital planet for the battlefield, and people expressed that their hearts went out for the royal couple that had to separate as soon as they got married.

Xue Ling browsed through two pages before he laughed sarcastically and closed the window.
Thanks to the system’s reminder, Xue Ling called Honoria yesterday and asked her to release news of the Prince’s departure. It was better for him to take the initiative and share the news rather than to wait for others to find out. By then, not only would it be embarrassing for the Princess, his Royal Highness’ reputation would also be affected.
Although the Prince became the national idol of the Empire due to his outstanding powers and handsome appearance, the title of Princess was not just for show. As a well-known omega, Ashley had an entire escort of Alphas and a large number of followers who followed him even though they knew that he had been engaged to His Royal Highness from birth.
Simply put, Xue Ling had countless spare tires. He was of the opinion that since they were already there, he might as well make use of them and prepared to use public opinion to portray himself as the perfect Princess.
When the Prince returned, he would most likely discover that those around him had already become followers of the Princess. If the Prince really dared to do something to him during his heat, he would most likely be faced with an unexpected situation.
It was not advisable to overthrow an Empire alone, so Xue Ling packed up and returned to the Rhine family home with his attendants in tow.
The capital planet was very vast. The palace covered a very large area, and less than a hundred miles to the west was the Rhine family’s land.

This was a family that had existed since the establishment of the Empire. Their ancestors were the first pair of alpha and omega lovers in the Empire. Their love had been grand and spectacular, touching countless people of the Empire. Nowadays, the Rhine family had very few members left, and there were only two young masters in the family. One was stationed at the frontlines all year round, and the other had just gotten married.
Today was the day Ashley came home, and everyone in the family was very happy. This child was the apple of their eye, and they always felt that marrying him to the Prince was unfair to him. The Prince’s hypocrisy – having high vision and standards but little actual ability – made him unworthy of their child.
Xue Ling was warmly welcomed upon his arrival. After all, it was an aristocratic family, and most of the family members were involved with the palace in some way. Everyone knew that the Prince had left him to run off on the night of the wedding, and a few of them made sure to comfort Xue Ling, offering to cut the Prince into pieces when he returned if he was unhappy.
Xue Ling smiled and told them that he was fine. When all was said and done, it was an arranged marriage, and he had not expected the Prince to truly love him.

His graceful and understanding appearance despite his unjust treatment made his family even more distressed. They always had the feeling that they had handed over their most precious treasure to the Prince only to see him unhesitatingly smash it. He really deserved to be beat up!
Watching his family’s faces get uglier and uglier, Xue Ling knew that he achieved his goal, so he asked everyone to sit down and accompanied his grandfather and parents, coaxing them to the point where others began to say that he had matured a lot and knew how to be considerate of their emotions.
Lunch was served at home, and the entire family sat together. Everyone heaped food onto Xue Ling’s plate, and before long, his plate was completely full. Xue Ling laughed shallowly and separated everything one by one. His sensible demeanor once again made the family’s hearts ache.
Although his education was very strict from childhood, their family’s omega was still pampered and well-loved as he grew up. Back then, his head was always held high whenever he left the house, carrying with it a trace of arrogant charm, but now, he had just gotten married and had already become so sensible, no longer needing to be coaxed and rather spendt time to cajole others.
Watching his behavior made their hearts sour, and several elders’ impression of the Prince became even worse.
If it weren’t for the damned prophecy, their little Ashley would still be at home, and could slowly find an alpha or anyone else that he liked. As long as it was something he wanted, his family would be able to provide it. But now… his identity was different.
Xue Ling could faintly feel that the atmosphere was beginning to shift again; the balance that he needed to maintain was too delicate. In his heart, he cursed that the Rhine family was not that easy to sway; everything he tried didn’t quite work. It was really difficult when there were more family members.
The family dispersed after eating. Xue Ling pulled his brother Warren up to the second floor and into his original room, then slammed the door shut.
Warren was somewhat surprised. Although his heart ached badly for his brother, this younger brother had always been quite cold and aloof. It was the first time that he had seemed so careful and down to earth, and it piqued his interest. He wanted to know what sort of secret thing his younger brother had pulled him over to discuss.
“Elder Brother.” Xue Ling was serious as he looked Warren, slowly and carefully observing him. Warren was so surprised that he didn’t even breathe, and with this, Xue Ling could be certain that that man had not transmigrated into his elder this time. He finally let out a relieved breath, and began, “When are you returning to the frontlines?”

Warren was once again stunned, not expecting him to come so close only to ask such a simple question. He conveniently rubbed his younger brother’s head as he thought about it and replied, “It should be within these next two days. I had a short vacation.”
Xue Ling pressed his lips together, pulled over a chair, and invited Warren to sit. He then seated himself on the bed, appearing to want to discuss serious matters. “Brother, apply to transfer back.”
“Huh?” Warren had not heard clearly, and his face was puzzled.
Xue Ling took a deep breath, clasped his hands together and kept his face serious as though he had made a major decision. “Elder brother, I want to revolt. It doesn’t matter who sits on the throne, as long as it is not the Prince. I want to divorce him, and then have him die.” His expression was a little vicious, but he was very serious. Warren wanted to laugh at first, but soon found that he could not. “I’m serious, brother. If he does not die, the Rhine family will disappear from this world. I can tolerate that he doesn’t love me, but I can’t accept him laying a hand on my brother, my parents, or my relatives. Elder brother, don’t go back to the frontlines. Please come back and help me instead. Or else I don’t know when you or mother and father will disappear together.”
