Chapter 12 Meeting My Father
In the afternoon, I was taken from the hotel to the palace on time.
Well, it should be called an invitation. After all, his attitude was really good, and he was Angel's close attendant. You could tell at first glance that he came from the army and had been on the battlefield.
He is quite handsome and his mental strength level is probably not low.
What if my brother's group pet article follows the companionship and childhood sweetheart master-servant routine?
Before I could finish my daydreaming, the attendant had already brought me to the reception room. The door of the reception room was opened from the inside, and I saw Ingres and my father sitting together, seemingly waiting for me.
My father looks a little older than I remember, and his hair has grown longer.
Seeing that blond hair reminded me of when Ingres was a kid and loved to pull his hair and watch him scream.
Of course, I would never do such a thing. At that time, my mother would rescue my father and then kiss us both.
Well, it was a scene that I felt ashamed of at the time and now I miss a little.
"Good day, Your Highness the Crown Prince." I saluted my father.
Fortunately, I am an adult. If Alger was really a child, what would he think of someone who doubted his biological father?
What would I think?
I just wonder what's for dinner at the palace tonight.
"Good day, Alger," my father nodded at me. "You don't mind me calling you that, do you?"
I shook my head. He is my biological father and you can call me whatever you want.
Then Angel waved to me and took me to sit on the narrator's sofa.
The clothes I'm wearing today are quite similar to Ingres's.
Then the servants brought snacks and tea.
"I'm so sorry for calling you here suddenly today. It's mainly because Angel missed you so much. He mentioned you from time to time in the past two years. As Angel's father, I'm also very curious about you."
He paused as he looked at me.
I understand. I just want to see if my son will be cheated by netizens.
"I heard that you passed the exam for the Capital Military Academy. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
I took a sip of the tea in front of me. Hmm, it must be quite expensive.
"And I heard that your mental power doesn't seem to be A-level, but S-level?" The Crown Prince changed the subject and I paused. Although my report is confidential, I was not surprised that my father knew about it because I submitted it to the Capital Military Academy.
I just haven't told Ingres and the others yet.
I looked at Angel feeling a little guilty, and Angel looked surprised.
"...My hometown is too remote, so the test might not be accurate. I always thought I had A-level mental power."
I started to explain and didn't regret thinking too much before.
It’s because I’ve read too many novels about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, all those novels about hiding one’s strength, pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face, it’s really misleading me!
"Angel, didn't you say you wanted to prepare a gift for Alger? Why don't you go get it?"
The Crown Prince suddenly spoke to Angel beside him.
I understand. This is to get rid of the protagonist's brother and start to attack me - it's not like he's going to give me a check and ask me to stay away from Angel. Or even give me a certain amount of money and tell me why I came to the capital planet!
I feel a little excited when I think about it.
Angel really trusted his father, and he didn't doubt at all that his father wanted to get rid of him - after all, how much intelligence could a twelve-year-old child have.
After the attendant and Ingres disappeared outside the door, the door was closed.
There are only two of us in this room right now.
…
Tongtong, isn't your father going to silence me?!
[…According to predictions, no, it’s just the host…]
"Alger Pan, you're not fourteen, are you?" The Crown Prince's voice was as steady as ever. "You awakened your spiritual power two years ago. Did you lie about your age to cover up your premature awakening?"
【Cover up your vest————】
"Two years ago, Angel had a fever for unknown reasons, and at that time his mental power began to change."
I was a little confused about the look the Crown Prince gave me, but I was sweating profusely as I listened to what he and the system said.
"Generally speaking, the connection between twins is very deep, like Alice and Alpha, who both awakened their spiritual powers almost at the same time."
"I……"
I wanted to say something, but his look stopped me.
He seemed like he wanted to cry.

"I researched your life before you came because I didn't want Angel to be harmed by unknown parties." The Crown Prince took a sip of tea from the table. "Your household registration is on the planet where I found Angel. Your life from birth to now is quite ordinary and perfect."
"By the way, did you know that Angel has a twin brother?"
I know.
But I have to act like I don’t know.
The Crown Prince glanced at me, and I felt like I was being seen through.
"My wife's name is Jiang Ruyu, Angel's mother. Her family is also a hidden family. This family has a special characteristic that only I know now."
He put down his teacup and looked at my... hair.
"Hair the color of mutton-fat jade may seem white to ordinary people, but those who know the difference can tell at a glance. It's impossible to fake it."
…
…………
Everyone, help!
My vest has been stripped off!
My biological father recognized me, what should I do?!
No, my biological father recognized me. He doesn't know that I will inherit a pirate group now, nor does he know that the person who adopted me is from Nebula. If he really wants to recognize me, I can -
I feel like I'm really a scumbag. My dad's eyes looked like he was about to cry but couldn't.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
We both stopped talking.
"You remember me, and you remember Ingres, but Ingres remembers nothing." The Crown Prince was the first to break the silence.
"Ayu and I both know that our eldest son, Pingping, seems to know everything since he was born."
"He loves An'an very much. Sometimes he acts like a little adult and comforts A'yu when she's sick and in pain. Even when the starship crashed, Pingping was the first to protect An'an."
Then he seemed to be recalling his own memories.
"All these years I always felt that Pingping was still alive."
I paused. "Your Highness the Crown Prince—perhaps this Pingping has already had his own life?"
I tried to give some advice. To be honest, if I were asked to hold a family reunion meeting now, I would be so scared that I would tap my toes on the ground. It would be better for everyone to pretend to be ignorant.
Besides, the younger brother needs to be unique. He doesn't need an older brother who looks exactly like him to steal other people's attention.
Silence again.
"Is that so?" The Crown Prince looked at me with a bit of surprise.
"Are you happy?"
No, brother, just pretend——
"...I'm fine. My family treats me very well." I'm such a soft-hearted person. "Does your hand hurt?"
I looked at his prosthetic limbs hidden in his sleeves and gloves. With the current interstellar technology, regenerating severed limbs is not a difficult task, but after almost ten years, he still has prosthetic limbs.
"...I almost forgot where you saw it?"
My father's eyes were so soft that I couldn't bear to look at them. "It's in the newspaper that brought Angel back."
After listening to what I said, his expression became more complicated.
"Angel will probably be back in a few minutes," he checked the time, "Can I see your true face?"
“…”
I hesitated, my heart softened, but Dad, are you really going to accept that I'm your eldest son so quickly? You don't even think about why I changed my face to contact Angel?
Is this world too naive?
Generally speaking, shouldn't we be suspicious of a son who suddenly appears and knows everything but refuses to recognize his father?
I really came here with a purpose!!!
I sighed, touched my temples, and my face flashed, revealing my true appearance.
That face looked exactly like Ingres's, and also somewhat similar to the father in front of him.
Looking at my face, his eyes turned red.
"mediocre--"
"Your Highness, my name is Alger."
I put on my fake face and helplessly reminded my biological father in front of me. My attitude also said it all.
I will not return to the royal family.
"I'm back, Dad! Alger!" The door to the reception room opened and Angel came bounding in. My father and I both restrained our facial expressions.
Well, he even held back his tears.
Very good, very good. As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has seen big scenes.
"Dad, it seems like you guys had a good talk?" Angel looked around like a little adult.
"I like Alger very much. I was just about to ask for his contact information." The Crown Prince looked at me calmly. What else could I say?
An old father with smuggled goods.
But forget it, he doesn't even doubt my intentions, what else can I say?!
As the crown prince, he didn't even bother with me. He even dropped his suspicions and let me complete my mission! What could he have done wrong?!
Don’t use the knife of affection to kill me!
"Just about to add." Then, under Angel's gaze, the two of us exchanged contact information.
...this subtle sense of shame.
"Where's the gift you gave Alger?"
Angel pulled out a gift box from behind his back like he was presenting a treasure. "It's the same school admission gift package as mine!"
I thanked him and took it. I looked inside and it looked like the stationery gift pack that I would prepare before school started. However, the Star Military Academy gift pack was even more advanced.
In addition to basic school supplies, I seemed to see a compressed aircraft inside.
No, your royal family gives cars as back-to-school gifts, right?
I looked at the father and son with a puzzled look and fished out the aircraft. "Is this also a must-have for the Capital Military Academy?"
You guys from my country don’t lie to me!!!
