Chapter 10: Already Registered as Married

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Valerie hopped onto the aircraft and got away from the Central Building before she heaved a sigh of relief.

Still, she had chills down her back, her legs were weak, and her waist was sore.

The experience of being someone’s exclusive medicine was not so pleasant at first, putting aside the fact that Jonny had such a great body.

Nonetheless, Valerie had no regrets.

She quite liked Jonny. He helped her out, and they were now husband and wife. She had no issues with being his exclusive medicine.

However, how could she have imagined that he had such a prominent status?

The first commander of the Empire… Wait, was he not that ruthless imperial “war god” who always wore a silver mask?

How could he be the same person as Jonny?

They clearly had different personalities!

Valerie felt that her thoughts were in a mess right now.

She forced herself to calm down quickly, then called her mother’s SmartBit. It took a long time for Ruth to pick up. Before Valerie could speak, Ruth’s sobs rang out from the other end.

“Sob sob, Val, I’m divorcing your father!”

“Huh? Why do you want a divorce all of a sudden?”

“He hit me! And he kept defending Madeline, so I asked him if he sees Madeline as his real daughter. He didn’t deny it! Then, his shame turned to rage and he hit me!”

Nick’s consoling mutters could be heard nearby Ruth’s SmartBit as well. He was probably saying stuff like, “Mom, don’t be angry, it’s surely a misunderstanding. Dad will let you hit him in return.”

Valerie rubbed her throbbing temples and sighed softly. What a mess this was.

Ruth cried for a while before she recalled the matter of the exclusive medicine.

She said hurriedly, “Val, where are you now? I’m sorry, I forgot to send the exclusive medicine. I’ll bring it over right now!”

“Mom, it’s fine. I’ll be home soon. We’ll talk then.”

Valerie hung up the call despondently, covered her face with her hands, and was silent for a while before she said, “Snowy, find out for me—the Federal Empire will sentence a person to how many years for a marriage scam?”

“Thirty years. But Master, you didn’t pull off a marriage scam. He agreed at the time.”

“A werebeast may forget what he did or what he said during his manic-depressive period…” Valerie’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Doesn’t that mean he’ll also forget who helped him alleviate his manic-depressive period?”

“Technically, that’s true. But don’t forget, Master, you’re already registered as married. Even his SmartBit addresses you as ‘Madam’.”

The implication was that even if he forgot who alleviated his suffering, he would not forget who dragged him into the marriage.

Valerie, “…” She was too careless!

Forget it, she was done for. Everything was ruined!

Just half an hour after Valerie left the Central Building, the door to the newlyweds’ lounge slowly opened, and Jonathan, who had changed into a dark blue military uniform, walked out with a cold expression as he buttoned his cuffs.

The adjutant next to him said, “Sir, His Majesty has summoned you urgently. Would you like to go back with us to see His Majesty first?”

Jonathan lowered his eyes, looked back at the lounge, and grunted softly.

…

The Sullivans’ villa in the Third District.

The Sullivans were in the food and beverage business. Their restaurant had opened branches in the Middle and Upper Third District.

Fresh food was becoming increasingly scarce. Only the rich could afford to eat stir-fried dishes, while the poor only drank nutrient solutions to maintain the basic needs of the body.

Valerie was lying on the sofa. By her side was Ruth, who had forgotten about her own troubles and was looking worried.

“Val, you’re telling the truth? Jonny is the first commander who has been wearing a mask?”

“His SmartBit said so. I don’t think it’s fake.”

“Then, why did you choose him…?”

Valerie covered her face with a pillow.. “How could I have known that a werebeast I picked up at random would turn out to be such a big shot?!”
