If Mephius and his associates refuse to appear in court, the court will initiate an automatic trial process. Once the verdict is handed down, if Mephius is found guilty, the judgment will be enforced.

It seems the association still has its own agenda.

The infant in his father's palm didn't know what was happening, but when he saw the darkening faces of his family members, he understood that something bad had occurred.

He may be small, but his love for protecting his family will never change.

"Don't be afraid, Daddy's not afraid, you're here!"

The cub patted its chest twice, trying to puff up its fur to make itself look bigger, more reliable, and fiercer.

The cub's determined look made everyone else burst into laughter, and the serious atmosphere from before was broken by the cub.

No one can resist an adorable little rascal.

Serena said, "It's alright. It's not just Mephisto anymore. Our entire Lorenzo family controls all the military power in the Federation. Now that things have come to this, let's announce our return to the public, rekindle the Lorenzo family crest, and see who dares to mess with our little one."

With the eldest sister making the final decision, the others quickly gathered their former subordinates. Serena's words were not empty talk; the Lorenzo family had incredibly strong roots in the military. Every generation of soldiers in the military had a Lorenzo family officer as their commander. However, due to Lorenzo's genetic issues, they were unable to consolidate military power, which caused the nobles to lose their vigilance towards Lorenzo and treat the Lorenzo family merely as a tool.

Now, it's time for them to pay the price.

Lorenzo has served the Federation wholeheartedly, yet now they are being discarded after their usefulness is over, and their treasures are being harmed. Therefore, even if they were to rebel, they would still have a reason to do so.

The cubs, on the other hand, are single-mindedly focused on growing bigger so they can protect their families.

But even though he ate a biscuit and drank a cupful of honey milk before his afternoon nap, and his belly was swollen and round, the cub didn't grow much bigger.

The little boy kicked his legs in disappointment, then was coaxed to sleep by his father. When he woke up, they had already boarded the Lorenzo family's warship.

Behind the warships lies the obedience and submission of the entire military.

Clearly, these military alphas have already made their decision: whether to choose the Federation or Lorenzo.

Now, they are not only Lorenzo's soldiers, but also the protectors of His Highness Omega.

To have a legitimate reason for sending troops, Serena simply transferred the entire military headquarters to the cub's name.

When these warriors learned that they were fighting for the high-ranking omega prince, they laughed so hard they almost threw away their alpha dignity.

It's fortunate that the guardians all had masks on, which could cover their flushed and excited eyes; otherwise, the military would have been utterly humiliated.

When the cub woke up, it saw that its father and the others didn't seem to be in any danger. They acted as if the cub was on a picnic or visiting someone's house. The cub relaxed and asked its father to rub its belly because it had eaten too much before going to sleep.

Mephisto was worried that the cub would be uncomfortable due to indigestion, so he used his spiritual power to relieve the cub's tension while rubbing its belly. As a result, the cub groaned and its whole body turned red.

Mephius was about to call the medic over when the baby in his arms suddenly grew larger and landed in his arms.

"dad……"

Qianyuan was a little embarrassed.

Perhaps his obsession with growing bigger was too strong, but why would he change sooner, and why would there be a delay?

Thankfully, it didn't happen later, in front of everyone in court.

Mephisto immediately wrapped Qianyuan in a cloak and took him to his room to get dressed.

The butler was always meticulous and had prepared two versions of clothing for Qianyuan long ago, including one for her childhood.

However, this was the first time that Qianyuan's identity had been revealed, and they were dressed according to the generally accepted style of Omega Prince.

Compared to the clothes Chiyuki usually wears, these are far more glamorous.

Qianyuan looked at the clothes that resembled evening gowns, and then at the military uniforms her family members were wearing, and began to feel uncomfortable.

Although Qianyuan loves beauty and cares about his appearance at such a young age, he doesn't like the feeling of being the only one shining. He wants to be in sync with his family.

"I want to wear the same clothes as my dad and uncles, not this."

Moreover, these don't look nearly as cool as Dad's uniform.

The little guy secretly added in his mind.

The butler, wearing a pained expression, said to Mephisto:

"General, I've said it before: omegas need to be raised with care, not like alphas... It's too rough to raise our little prince to be so simple."

Mephisto didn't actually mistreat Qian Yuan materially; it's just that he couldn't shake off his military alpha aesthetic when it came to dressing and grooming. He himself washed his face with plain water and wore military uniforms every day, so he had no idea how to dress up a child.

Even Serena, the only lady present, disdained to dress up; the flames and smoke naturally blended into her bright eyes.

It's fair to say that the Lorenzo family members are handsome based on their inherent qualities.

The butler continued to sigh and lament his disappointment, pleading with Qianyuan with an expression that looked like he was about to cry. Qianyuan had no choice but to change into her gorgeous clothes.

But he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This isn't handsome at all."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto draped his unused white cloak over Qianyuan, as if crowning him.

"My lord, you will always shine as brightly as the stars."

Qianyuan was taken aback, then smiled.

Okay, he and his dad are dressed in white and black respectively, so you could actually consider it matching outfits.

The long-awaited public trial, coupled with the fact that the defendant was a well-known general and the outrageous charges, had garnered unprecedented attention, with the entire live broadcast room packed with people.

"I don't believe it. Haven't your alliance's omega resources always been tightly controlled by the association? The personal freedom and marriage rights of the princes are all the responsibility of the association. How could a prince suddenly appear out of nowhere? This is the association going crazy, trying to seize the power of a general, isn't it?"

"This matter is really outrageous, but according to rumors, it is true that a certain general is keeping a prince as a concubine... Many people in the military saw it. That prince is not yet an adult, his body is very weak, and he is a high-ranking prince, so he is practically at the maximum level of buffs."

"This is bullshit! No matter how much you fight with the association, can you please stop targeting the innocent little prince? He definitely doesn't know anything and is just being manipulated. These people are truly despicable!"

"Agreed, His Highness is innocent. If His Highness were as handsome as the Omega Chief, he would be even more innocent. Just sentence him to eat one less meal of vegetables. These tonics are bullying my future wife!"
