No need

That's way bigger than wanting a divorce yourself!

Bella nervously asked, "Did he say anything to you? After his susceptible period passed, did he get angry with you?"

"...No, I woke up first and just ran away."

The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence for a while, until Amelia suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

She said, "Forget it, either way, I'll just contact him directly. I'll apologize if I need to, compensate if necessary, and we can divorce immediately."

Although, it was a bit of a shame to let go of such a handsome Therianthrope.

But beauty was important, life was more important!

And Amelia didn't want to bring so much trouble to her family...

Although, she might have already caused some, but she had to find a way to fix it, right?

Bella had no other ideas. She said, "Why don't you send a message to that gentleman, explain things properly?"

"Yeah!"

Although their microcomputers weren't added as friends, their marriage bond was stronger than any friendship. You couldn't delete it even if you wanted to divorce.

Amelia gathered her courage and began composing a message to Ethan.

Should she just say sorry, she shouldn't have dragged him into marriage?

That was too direct, no good!

Or maybe, she didn't mean to help him through it, he just looked so miserable during his susceptible period?

No, that might make him afraid she'd reveal his pain to others.

And Tiger, watching the message box, showed "typing..." all the time.

It cheerfully said, "Master, the lady is sending you a message! She's been editing for so long, is she going to send you a long essay?"

Sitting on the aircraft, Ethan brought up their conversation.

Even though the features were Ethan's, his demeanor had changed drastically.

His lips were tightly pressed, eyes gleaming with a chilling light. Even without his usual mask, he exuded an aura of 'do not disturb'.

Ethan's gaze fell on the message box, only to find that the words "typing..." disappeared.

Tiger: "...Is the lady feeling shy?"

Ethan half-lidded his eyes, concealing the coldness in them. "In ten minutes, I have to meet the king."

"Yes!"

There was still some distance to Zone One. Tiger didn't dare to sneak around anymore, focusing on piloting the aircraft towards the palace located in Zone One.

At nine minutes and fifty seconds, the aircraft successfully landed.

Ethan strode into the palace with steady steps, attracting shocked gazes from everyone around.

The First Commander, not wearing his mask?

Daniel, seeing him for the first time, was also surprised, but his main concern was Ethan's health.

"Uncle, are you okay? What happened exactly?"

"I led a team to eliminate the parasites near the star domain. On the way back, the ship's medic was infected by the parasites, causing a riot, and the aircraft crashed. However, before the crash, we had already destroyed all the parasite eggs."

Ethan recounted the events without a hint of emotion.

But Daniel knew that the process must have been extremely thrilling.

He nodded, "Anyway, Uncle, as long as you're okay. About your susceptible period..."

Daniel had already learned from the adjutant that his uncle was found in a new room. It was said that two local noble families were in the process of alliance, and Ethan happened to be in his susceptible period.

Ahem, as a nephew, Daniel was a bit curious.

Ethan remained unfazed. He said, "King, connect me to Moss first."

"Okay."

Moss, who was suddenly connected, said in a businesslike tone, "King, what can I do for you?"

"It's my uncle who wants to speak with you."

Moss: "..."

If the main system had a physical form, it would probably smirk at this moment, but fortunately it doesn't.

Moss: "Commander Ethan, what can I do for you?"

"Last night, did you approve my marriage application?"

"Yes... the king allowed me to approve it!"

Daniel, who happened to be drinking coffee nearby, choked on it, and Avi, the AI assistant, immediately handed Daniel a handkerchief with a mechanical arm.

Daniel wiped the coffee from his mouth, sounding displeased, "Moss, what are you talking about?"

Moss: "Last night, I received a marriage application from Commander Ethan for a young woman about to turn twenty. At that time, I requested your approval, but Avi informed me that we should follow the rules. According to the rules, Commander Ethan and the young lady met the criteria for marriage, so I approved it."

This deflection of responsibility left the handsome and young king speechless!

Daniel hurried to look at Ethan, "Uncle, I was worried about you being missing, I didn't expect it to be your marriage application..."

Ethan remained composed; he picked up the coffee handed to him by the mechanical arm and took a sip, saying, "Nor did I."

During the susceptible period, Therianthrope's mentality regresses to childhood, or rather, to the most insecure period.

At that time, Ethan happened to have lost his suppressant due to the crash of his aircraft.

He saw a wedding photo on a billboard, and looking at the girl in the white wedding dress, he was suddenly struck with confusion.

Somehow, he ended up at the wedding scene of that couple.

What happened afterwards became completely blurred...

Long and fair fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa. The study was so quiet that Avi didn't dare to move its mechanical arm for fear of making a slight noise.

After a while, Daniel cleared his throat, "Uncle, this is my fault. I'll immediately have Moss annul your marriage, then go find that girl to explain..."

"No need."

Daniel: ???

Just then, Ethan's microcomputer beeped, reporting that traces of star pirates had been found in the third sector.

"Alright, I'll go."

Ethan stood up, donned his navy blue military cap, nodded to Daniel, and walked out.

As his uncle walked away, Daniel immediately told Avi, "Send me all the information you have on that girl!"

Moss: "Your Majesty, I'm still here; I can send it directly to you. My information is the most comprehensive."

Daniel smirked, "Oh, you reminded me; you're still here!"

Moss: "Your Majesty, as the most noble king, you cannot abuse your power for personal vendettas. Besides, I believe the commander should be very satisfied with his new bride, who happens to be your aunt."

"Oh?"

Ethan's biological age was actually forty.

For all these years, he had hidden behind a mask and never considered marriage.

Daniel already had children of his own, but his uncle remained solitary.

Daniel had suggested several times that his uncle find a suitable partner, but all had been rejected.

So, was it finally time for the Williams family's iron tree to blossom?

Daniel said, "Moss, give me all the information you have on Amelia, I want it detailed!"

"Yes, my noble king."

Amelia hadn't sent Ethan a single word.

What to send?

Every sentence raised questions, so why bother saying anything at all?

At worst, it's just a divorce!
