“These days,” he muttered under his breath, “even farming can stir up trouble.”

Shaking his head, he turned and left as well

The conference room finally fell silent.

Only the proposal remained behind, lying alone on the table, its surface reflecting a cold gleam beneath the lights.

The vibration of his device pulled Cristian out of his contemplation over the strategic map.

He glanced at the caller ID, and his brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

Mom.

At this hour, there was a high probability she was not calling for anything serious.

Still, he accepted the call.

Zaylee’s face appeared on the screen.

As always, she wore a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with the unmistakable look of someone eager to watch a good show unfold.

“Cristian!” she greeted cheerfully. “Are you busy now?”

Cristian’s expression remained blank. “Just wrapped up.”

“Good, good.” Zaylee nodded happily before smoothly changing the topic. “I heard you went to Planet A001 a few days ago?”

A faint twitch crossed Cristian’s brow.

News traveled fast.

“Official business,” he replied.

“Official business?” Zaylee dragged out the words meaningfully, grinning from ear to ear. “Mm–hmm. Rushing all the way to A001 to drive off the Fifth Military’s fleet and rescue Eliza’s farm was all for official business. I also heard you stood there talking to my future daughter–in–law for quite a while?”

The tips of Cristian’s ears grew faintly warm.

“Mom,” he said calmly, “your sources are impressive.”

“Of course they are.” Zaylee looked utterly justified. “That concerns the daughter–in–law I’ve been dreaming about. How could Not pay attention?”

She leaned closer toward the screen, eyes gleaming. “So? What did you think after meeting Eliza in person? How was she? Better- looking than her photos?”

Cristian fell silent for a second.

“…She’s alright,” he said.

Zaylee froze. Then she burst out laughing.

“Alright?“” she repeated. “You stubborn brat. If you can say ‘alright,‘ that means she’s extremely good.”

Cristian did not respond.

After laughing enough, Zaylee continued pressing him. “What did you guys talk about? Did you guys have a proper conversation? You didn’t go around wearing that icy face of yours again, did you?”

Cristian thought about the few sentences he had spoken to Elizabeth.

…It did seem like rather little.

Still, he was absolutely certain he had not looked cold. After all, Elizabeth had smiled at him the entire time.

Outwardly, however, he remained composed. “I said what needed to be said.”

“What needed to be said?” Zaylee looked utterly unconvinced. “Which probably means you spoke three and a half sentences total?”

Cristian did not deny it.

Zaylee sighed dramatically before turning her head and shouting offscreen, “Trevor! Look at your son!”

A faint rustling sound came from the other side of the call. Then another face appeared.

It was Trevor.

The commander of the First Military and one of the kingdom’s most powerful military figures was currently sitting on the couch in his living room, reading documents.

He lifted his head and looked at Cristian through the screen. His expression remained calm, though a faint trace of amusement flickered in his eyes.

“I heard you went to Planet A001?” he asked. As expected of husband and wife. Even the opening line was identical.

“Yes,” Cristian answered.

“The Fifth Military won’t make any moves for the time being.” Trevor said. “But this isn’t over yet. You know that.”

Cristian nodded. “I know.”

Trevor studied him for several seconds before suddenly asking, “How are things between you and that girl, Elizabeth?”

Cristian paused.

He had expected his father to ask about official matters. Instead…

“…Pretty good,” he replied.

Trevor raised an eyebrow.

Beside him, Zaylee immediately laughed again. “Did you hear that? ‘Pretty good.‘ Earlier he told me she was ‘alright.“”

Trevor set down the document in his hand and leisurely took a sip of tea.

“That girl, Elizabeth, is very outstanding,” he said calmly. “To withstand the pressure of the Fifth Military and completely reverse the situation like that… ordinary people couldn’t have done it.”

He paused, then looked at Cristian.

“You’re lucky.”

The tips of Cristian’s ears heated up again.

“Dad,” he said, “the genetic matching system chose her.”

Trevor glanced at him meaningfully. “You should be grateful to that system. If it hadn’t picked her for you, where would you have found the chance to meet a girl that exceptional?”

Cristian said nothing,

Zaylee leaned over again eagerly. “Tell your mother honestly. What exactly do you think about Eliza?”

Cristian remained silent for several seconds.
