After Breaking Up, I Married the General-Chapter 146 - 145: In an unknown planet 11

Chapter 146: Chapter 145: In an unknown planet 11
"Ok."
"Your father was really good to you.
At that time even though he knew that both of us were highly compatible, he didn’t arrange a marriage for you.
But instead he requested that in exchange for you helping me stabilized my condition, I should keep our compatibility a secret to my parents until you’re already an adult and only if you already decided to be together with me.
If my parents had known that we were highly compatible, they wouldn’t force you to have an engagement with me without your parents’ permission.
But they’ll certainly find a lot of opportunities to coax you especially my mother who had always been worried about me since I awakened as a high-level sentinel.
You’re very young at that time so my mother might have coaxed you and might have slowly guided you to be with me.
As for my father, he will certainly try to find more opportunities for us to have more time together.
I already know the personalities of my parents well so I also don’t want to tell them about our compatibility at that time because you are still very young and they’ll certainly not allow me to stay in the frontlines for a long time so that I could have more time to be with you, so I promised your father that I won’t mention our compatibility with anyone else.
But he even let me promise him that I could only try to pursue you when you’re already an adult. And if you already have someone you liked, he begged me to let you go."
"That really sounds like what my father would do," Ryzel said happily. He was really happy hearing that his father always cared about him.
"Yes, your father really just wants you to be happy."
"Then, you haven’t appeared in front of me because of your promise to my father?"
"I was really busy after returning to the frontlines and rarely had time to go back to the Capital Star.
When I learned about your parents’ accident, I couldn’t leave the frontlines yet.
But I still instructed people to guard you and to me about your condition and how you are doing."
"You let someone guard me?"
"Yes, I was worried when I heard that all your parents’ assets were currently taken care of by your relatives and you would only be able to access them when you’re already in marriageable age."
"I always wondered why my so-called relatives didn’t try to get rid of me by simply letting me die accidentally or something.
I almost thought that they actually have a bit of heart left but it seems not. Did they actually try to get rid of me before and the guards you assigned protected me from those dangers?"
"They tried in the beginning but they realized that some people were protecting you so they became afraid and didn’t try to harm you anymore."
"Heh. So, since they couldn’t harm me physically they actually thought of sabotaging my marriage," Ryzel said with a sneer.
"Anyway, it’s also good because I was able to marry you. However, since you were already watching me since I was younger, why didn’t you appear in front of me? I don’t think my father let you promise not to appear in front of me at all."
"Of course he didn’t. But at that time I didn’t realize that I like you but I was just protecting you so that you can grow up properly.
Your parents have helped me before and we also got along well when you’re still a child and you even helped me without knowing it so I thought that I should at least protect you until you grew up."
"When I assigned people to guard you, I only thought that such a cute child like you should grow up without fearing that you are always in danger.
I haven’t heard of you getting close to other sentinels and I also thought that you’re still young, so I didn’t go and appear in front of you.
But I never thought that Dwight, who I hadn’t seen as a threat because I guessed that you guys were interacting again like brothers since he was also brought up by your parents...
Your meetings were also not frequent, so I never thought you guys would be together.
But one day, I suddenly heard that you guys were actually in a relationship.
I was very angry at myself because I also only realized that I’ve actually loved you for a long time and I don’t even know when it began.
At that time, I realized my love for you and I also lost my chance to be with you.
So, I got angry at myself and kept regretting it many times, why I didn’t even appear in front of you.
I lost my chance to be together with you and just like I promised your father, I let you go and didn’t appear in front of you even though I knew that you might only be the guide that would be highly compatible with me.
And since I thought that you already had someone by your side to protect you, I also withdrew those who were protecting you.
Because I don’t know if I could actually stay sane if I kept hearing news about you who was already in a relationship with someone, since my feelings for you hadn’t faded at all.
But when I heard from Mervin that you’d broken up with Dwight and were rushly looking for someone to marry, I rushed to the Capital Star because I knew that it was my last chance to be with you and I didn’t want to miss it."
"Thank you very much for what you’ve done. Because of you, I was able to grow up without worrying about my life. And I am really grateful that you rushed to come to marry me," Ryzel said and gave another kiss on Layton’s lips.
"But Layton, you actually thought that I was very young back then so you didn’t approach me.
Didn’t you know that guides mature earlier physically and emotionally?
Don’t you know that most guides were already in relationships when they’re 15 or 16?
Or they were already looking for a relationship so that when they’re officially an adult at 18, they would get married already or stay engaged and then, when they’re 19 years old, avoid being forced to marry a stranger?" Ryzel said and then bit Layton’s lower lip.
There are a lot of guides who were already married at 18 because they had already met who they wanted.
But most of the guides that Ryzel knew, especially the guides at their school, were guides who were just engaged or in a relationship but waited until a few months before turning 20 before marrying their partners.
He was also the same, as he was already in a relationship at that time and was just waiting to be married a month before he turned 20, unlike the others who already married a few months before they reached the age of 20 to avoid any mishaps.
There were only a few guides like Lyre who didn’t want to choose someone very early or be in a relationship and just wanted to enjoy associating with a lot of people to hear some gossip.
Well, Lyre had the support of his family who would surely look for a good sentinel for him, so Lyre wasn’t worried about his own relationship but instead worried about his relationship with Dwight and would give him a lot of advice he came up with or from what he heard from others.
"If you had at least appeared in front of me when I was 16 or even just in the early months after I turned 18, then we might have gotten along earlier and I might have liked you even more now if we had started our relationship early," Ryzel said and licked Layton’s lips and bit his lower lip again.
Ryzel knew himself well: if Layton appeared in front of him and said his intention of pursuing him, he would have definitely agreed with Layton as he was even more handsome and more powerful than Dwight.
And he had just agreed to be in a relationship with Dwight at that time because he was worried about his marriage partner and chose Dwight, who he already knew, even though he didn’t like him yet.
So, if Layton had appeared, he would certainly have agreed to be together with him instead of Dwight, even if he didn’t like Layton yet, because he was already a bit familiar with Layton as they had known each other before.
And Dwight, who just had a good potential to help him with his problem, couldn’t compare to Layton who could already readily help him as he already had enough power and position, which was more desirable to him.
"Yes, that’s why I’m really regretting it and angry at myself every time I think about it.
Especially after thinking that you might have liked me more at this time now," Layton said with a regretful tone.
