Chapter 221 - 8.28
"G—General, royal armies are wanting to meet you and Altair Roderick."
Altair and General Vega stared at each other, having an ominous feeling. General Vega asked, "What do they want?"
"They want you to hand them, Altair Roderick. He shall be arrested. That’s what they said, General," the soldier outside said.
Altair’s face paled. He was not scared of bunch of B ranked guards, he could kill them in one snap, but he was scared that they would harm General Vega and other soldiers. The royal guards were well known to be coercive and often used their immunity from the king or prince to do whatever they wanted.
"G—General, I will hand myself to them. I don’t want you to get hurt," Altair said.
"What are you saying?!" General Vega grabbed Altair’s hand and assured him, "You protected me when I was about to get killed, and I will protect you as well!"
General Vega stood from the bed, holding Altair’s hand and dragged him out of the room together. He opened the door and rushed outside with Altair.
The courtyard was already filled with at least thirty royal guards with their weapons. They pointed their guns toward Altair and General Vega when they came out. The chief of the royal guard said first, "General Vega Satellarnus, hand Altair Roderick to us. He has been sentenced to death if he refuses to marry His Highness, Prince Rigel."
"And why is that? Why does Prince Rigel want to marry my alpha?"
"Don’t speak nonsense, General. Altair Roderick is the fated pair of Prince Rigel, he had marked him, and now he is responsible for marrying him. General Vega, you are hindering a royal task. This is punishable by death!"
General Vega stared coldly at the man, and he scoffed, "Tell your prince that Altair Roderick is my alpha. We are a fated pair. And Altair hadn’t marked your prince at all. Because if he did, I would die out of heart attack, as all you know about true fated pair. Besides, did your prince showed you his love mark from Altair? If not, then he is lying, and you are just following order without a second thought."
