Chapter 79 - Do You Know? I Missed You Every Day

After General Craig gave the eldest prince over to Major General Klaire, he led his team back to the capital planet. The Morningstar Corps fleet immediately took off on the prearranged route for the Lyra galaxy.

The Morningstar Corps officers saw the eldest prince holding their general tight and not letting go, and conscientiously turned and retreated, leaving the command room to the two of them.

The two men held each other. It was quiet enough in the room to hear a pin drop.

Bluestar ruined the atmosphere by jumping out and saying, “This is great, my owner can finally see His Highness the Prince, and I can finally see Egret! Egret, did you miss me?”

Egret pretended not to hear him.

Bluestar’s familiar voice made Xi Wei come back to himself. He pushed Klaire away hard, frowned and said, “Klaire, I’ll give you ten minutes to clearly explain exactly what’s going on!”

Klaire rushed to say, “Don’t be mad, I’ll explain it to you slowly, okay?”

As he spoke, he wrapped an arm around Xi Wei’s shoulders and brought him to the sofa to sit down. He had Bluestar pour Xi Wei a glass of water, as if to put out the fire seething in the big beast.

Xi Wei took a sip of cold water, looked back at him and said, “The military called a press conference and announced the news of your death. I thought you had…” When he thought of the sadness he had felt when he got the news about Klaire, his fingers couldn’t help but clench tightly around his cup. “Since you didn’t die, why didn’t you come find me?”

Klaire gently took his hand and said softly, “Actually, at the time, I also thought I was dead for sure. In order to assist the marshal, I led the Morningstar Corps and battled through the flank to the border of the Iswell galaxy, but ended up getting caught in an ambush from the Direwolf Corps. It felt like the Direwolf Corps knew about our deployment in advance, and were waiting there for us.”

Klaire paused, then continued, “The marshal and I fought our way out of the enclosure, but unfortunately, Bluestar took heavy damage from an electromagnetic cannon while he was breaking through. He lost his balance and was drawn into the Iswell galaxy wormhole.”

“The wormhole?” When Xi Wei heard this, he couldn’t help but grab Klaire’s hand tight in worry. “And then?”

“Bluestar’s communication system and navigation system were completely destroyed. We lost our direction in the wormhole, and drifted for a whole month. Afterwards, some mysterious troops fortunately passed by and rescued us, and they brought Bluestar and me to planet Nami.”

Xi Wei had heard of planet Nami. It was located near the Iswell wormhole, but there weren’t any Imperial troops stationed there. Who had rescued him?

Xi Wei asked, confused, “Who rescued you?”

“It was a mysterious Imperial general.” Klaire gave Xi Wei an answer that surprised him. “After he saved me, he took me to an underground base to recover from my injuries, and kept me in a room with no communications signal. So even though I was alive, I had no way to contact you.”

“What my owner said wasn’t right, that was clearly an intensive care unit!” Bluestar jumped out and said, “Your condition was too serious, so in order to save you, that general even activated the empire’s most advanced medical mecha! You were unconscious for a full six months until…”

“Shut up.” Klaire forcibly muted this mecha who sold his owner out.

Xi Wei immediately grasped the important point in what Bluestar had said. He glared at Klaire and said word by word, “Klaire, what Bluestar said was the truth, right? It wasn’t that the general blocked off your communications signal, but that you were unconscious the whole time, and that’s why you couldn’t contact me, right?”
