The prince’s accident on the front lines happened half a month after he left the capital star on his wedding night. It should have occurred just after he arrived at the front lines.
This could probably be called starting off on the wrong foot?

Xue Ling didn’t think too deeply into it; he has waited for more than half a month for this day. He first spent some time in bed laughing, and then contacted Warren.
He still had a smile on his face when Warren appeared on the communicator. Warren had no idea why his younger brother was so happy – although he was in a high ranking position, he wasn’t authorized to receive reports of things like the Prince’s accident.
“Brother, please send in your application to stay in the capital. The Prince has had an accident on the front line, and all his authority will be handed to me. I can approve your application very quickly.”
Warren was somewhat surprised, asking stupidly, “What happened to the Prince?” He saw his younger brother’s smile and wondered, “Was it something you did?”
Xue Ling laughed and felt that his eldest brother in this life was a bit silly and cute. “Of course not, but whether or not he can return will depend on my mood.”
Warren nodded his head to show his understanding. It was too inconvenient for them to communicate through the nano-computer, so he set a time with Xue Ling and prepared to enter the palace to see him.
Xue Ling contacted Honoria again and asked her to come with her team, then dressed himself in white. He put a sad, anxious look on his face and went straight to the old King’s palace.

The road was a little long, but he insisted on running over by himself.
At this time, the old King had just received the news and was both angry at his son and upset over his misfortune. When he was informed by people in the palace that the Princess had run over as soon as he had learned the news regardless of the distance, he once again felt somewhat comforted.
His son was unreliable, but his son-in-law seemed to be very good. The old King’s expression relaxed, and he went to receive Xue Ling.
Xue Ling was panting when he came in, and because he had run at full speed the whole way, his eyes were slightly reddened. Such an omega could touch anyone’s heart, and the old King once again scolded his son for being useless.
He ordered people to come seat Xue Ling, and comforted him by saying, “Luther will be alright. Don’t worry too much now, sit down and rest a bit first.”
Xue Ling stood still. It seemed that he still hadn’t recovered from his extended run, his face turning redder and redder as his eyes continued to dampen. “Father-King, I’m going to the front lines to find him!”
The old King’s hands stilled for a moment. He thought to himself that this child must really have deep feelings for Luther, and somewhat helplessly said, “Child, don’t be so anxious. Luther is my son, and I know his ability. Although he was ambushed, he will be fine.”

Xue Ling clenched his fists and looked uneasy. “But Father-King, I’ll really be anxious if I can’t go to the front lines to look into it. Something happened to him right after he arrived, what if the Zerg had people in the front lines?!”
The old King’s expression also changed slightly. In recent years, the Zerg had become more and more rampant, and it wasn’t impossible for them to have infiltrated the army. “Child, don’t be in such a hurry. Originally, the Prince oversaw the running of the country. Now that something has happened to him, these things will all fall to you, and you cannot be too busy worrying. Even if there really was a problem in the front lines, you can’t act on impulse.”
Xue Ling’s clenched fists loosened slightly. He could tell that the old King was not on guard against him at all and obviously did think that his son-in-law would have plans to betray his son.
That wasn’t surprising. The Empire has existed for so many years, and there had never been any alpha and omega pairing that divorced because they couldn’t get along with each other. Alphas were always very good towards their omegas, and omegas were generally very affectionate towards their alpha. Unfortunately, that was under the premise that they developed mutual feelings for each other and marked each other. But if they were like Xue Ling, who had not even seen the Prince after their marriage, it was not impossible for him to say he wanted to kill him and then take action to turn himself into a widow.
Xue Ling seemed to have calmed down, but his eyes were still red. “Father-King, these days I have only been responsible for things around the Empire. If I also have to take over the front lines, I’m worried that I won’t be able to handle it all myself.”
The old King squinted. It was not that a situation where the reigning King had run into an accident and the Queen had to take over had never happened before. Besides, Ashley received the best education the Rhine family could provide, and he still trusted him. It was just that the location where the army was stationed on the front lines was a little far away. With the Prince’s accident, the army’s morale would be unstable and somewhat difficult to deal with.
At this time, the palace servants came and reported that Honoria and General Warren were both requesting an audience.

Honoria’s arrival had been expected. After all, she had to liaise with the royal family every day and her appearance after receiving the news did not alarm the old King. Rather, it was Warren’s arrival that seemed to come out of the blue.
The ugly look on Xue Ling’s face finally improved. He looked up at the old King and explained, “My brother has been providing me with special training recently. Earlier, I rushed over as soon as I received the news and forgot to tell him that I was not training today. He should have come here because he was worried about me.”
The old King was rather slow to react, smiling as he asked, “What special training is Little Ashley doing?”
Xue Ling looked down, blushed and pressed his lips together. “I found that my fitness had improved after that fever from few days ago, so I thought that if I could learn to fly mecha and fight in space, I could help the Prince a little, and maybe he would not leave me alone in the palace anymore.”
The old King was stunned. He had not thought that Ashley would say such a thing. When he had asked Xue Ling the other day about his son’s departure, his answer had been very mild. The old King had thought that he hadn’t cared too much about his son leaving him.
Did he think that the Prince left him because he was not strong enough?
What a lovely child.

The old King’s heart softened at once, and if not for the distance between them, he would have reached out to touch Xue Ling’s head. “That’s good then. Let General Warren come in, and I can inquire about the results of your special training.” There was a smile in his eyes as he looked kindly at Xue Ling.
Xue Ling was quite satisfied. He did not want to have to imprison the old King before he had achieved his goals. It was better if the other party did not defend against himself at all so as to facilitate his plans.
Warren and Honoria came in together. They were not acquainted, and did not greet each other. After saluting, Warren was summoned up by the old king. Honoria curtsied to the old King, and then to Xue Ling before efficiently taking out her nano-computer and preparing to start recording. “Your Highness, I have just heard some very bad news. I want to know how your Highness plans to deal with it.”
