Chapter 204 - 8.11
Although General Vega already warned his soldiers not to tell anyone about Altair Roderick and his achievement, it was inevitable for the news to spread around the kingdom and developed into rumours.
The rumour started from tame one like... Altair Roderick was a strong alpha that took out the giant mantis after so much valiant struggle;
Up to ridiculous rumour, like Altair Roderick might actually be a Zerg in disguise, and he could take over humanity. This one, even Altair, was laughing at such baseless rumour.
However, Altair was never free from the bound of rumours after all, like the rumour that he was a young playboy that played with the hearts of many omega men and women. Though, that one was not entirely baseless. Because Altair had many lovers, both men and women, before he was admitted to the military academy, though he never slept with any of them.
Even Altair’s parents, Dane Roderick and his wife, were surprised by their son’s achievement. When they asked General Vega of the achievement, the General simply said, "Indeed, Cadet Altair Roderick has achieved such amazing feat at such a young age. But I don’t want him to be arrogant and conceited after he won once."
"He is still an inexperienced young man. It is best to let him develop first before he got too popular and other royals started having their eyes on him. Don’t you think so, General Dane?" General Vega said. Dane Roderick felt the explanation made sense and decided not to confirm Altair’s achievement to other nobles.
Altair didn’t seem to worry much after he confronted General Vega that night, though. In fact, he trained even harder and didn’t seem to fret over his senior cadets’ taunt anymore. He became dedicated to training and even more dedicated when he trained with General Vega.
Two weeks passed, and the ball for Prince Rigel’s debut would be held in two days. Prince Rigel was now eighteen years old and was a beautiful omega that was so popular even before his debut in the noble circle.
But this ball was to show his true face instead of just pictures, which made everyone so excited about seeing Prince Rigel up close.
