CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 34: THINKING, PART 3

Those who have a guide are more likely to be able to contribute more because they wouldn’t be affected by the Zergs who are emitting something that causes a sentinel’s mania.

Sentinels with a mental lock can stay on the battlefield longer than others.

The federation made the guides marry early so they could establish a mental lock with a sentinel.

The performance of sentinels who have mental locks can be said to be five times more than what they usually do without a mental lock.

Aside from their responsibility to give birth to more guides and sentinels.

The primary responsibility of a guide as a marriage partner was to establish a mental lock for their partners for their protection.

If it wasn’t already proven that a guide can only establish a mental lock with only one sentinel, Ryzel was sure that the marriage system would be different.

With the low population of guides compared to the population of sentinels, he knew that guides might be forced to marry more than one sentinel if they could establish a mental lock with more than one sentinel.

Nowadays, a lot of people are still lamenting why a guide can’t establish a mental lock with more than one sentinel. If that happens, then they might have an upper hand while fighting the Zergs.

However, for guides, it was fortunate that they could only establish a mental lock with only one sentinel.

Once a guide and a sentinel establish a mental lock and have their mental powers resonate with each other, sentinels would have a high degree of possessiveness toward their guides.

That possessiveness can become a burden to the guides once it becomes uncontrollable, so fortunately, guides can only establish a mental lock with one sentinel.

With the nature of sentinels, Ryzel can imagine how unfortunate guides could be if they have more than one sentinel around them.

In the course of history, there are a lot of records of guides who have suffered because of the possessiveness of sentinels.

When they learned about the history of guides, there were a lot of records of guides who suffered because of their sentinels.

A lot of laws were enacted to prevent sentinels from abusing their guides, so at least the situation of guides improved a lot compared to the situation hundreds of years ago.

Even though a lot of laws were enforced to protect guides, sentinels’ possessiveness is inherent, so the law just restrained them so that they wouldn’t hurt their guides.

Ryzel knew that Sentinel’s possessiveness is still a burden to some guides, especially those who have a very high compatibility rate.

According to the stories he heard from Lyre, some guides can’t even freely go out of their houses because their sentinels cause trouble for others because of their possessiveness.

Some can’t even wear their favorite clothes when going out because they know their sentinels will cause trouble as soon as they go out.

He heard different versions of stories from Lyre about some sentinels’ uncontrolled possessiveness.

That’s why Ryzel actually doesn’t want to marry someone who has very high compatibility with him.

He just wants to marry someone who passed the compatibility test, even if it was very low.

Ryzel even thought that the lower the compatibility, the better, because he doesn’t want to be troubled by anything.

He still wanted to focus more on his research and studies.

Unfortunately for him, he married Layton Lewis, who has a very high degree of compatibility with him.

Luckily, Layton Lewis seemed to be a sentinel who could control his impulses thoroughly.

Ryzel also understands that, as a general leading thousands of soldiers, Layton Lewis was someone who had very high self-control.

That’s why Ryzel believed that Layton Lewis wouldn’t act like other sentinels just because their compatibility was very high.

Ryzel was now at ease, as he had been married in time.

Now that he had solved his most crucial problem, he was a little bit at ease with his situation.

At least he doesn’t have to think about being deported to one of the fringe stars and how to survive for the next ten years.

Now he can continue doing what he was doing as he married in time.

He doesn’t need to think further about how to survive in a harsher place. He can continue doing what he wants for now.

He can continue doing his potion research and other things for his studies, as he still hasn’t graduated.

He also needed to ask Layton Lewis for help regarding his inheritance. He still needed to find an opportunity to tell Layton Lewis about his circumstances.

His relatives might already be anxious because he married Layton Lewis.

They already sent him messages and a lot of calls as soon as the news about him getting married to Layton Lewis was circulated early in the morning.

As soon as Layton Lewis’ status was updated and the pictures from the marriage registration center were out, he started receiving a lot of messages and calls.

He was aware that his relatives had been paying attention to his news ever since he started having matching tests with sentinels.

He knew his relatives had even sent some sentinels to participate in some of the matching tests, but they all failed to meet the standard.

Ryzel didn’t care much about it since he knew it was very difficult for him to find a match.

He was sure that his relatives might have relaxed their guards regarding his marriage because of his matching rates.

He knew that they must have been very happy and were just waiting for him to be deported since he couldn’t find a marriage partner.

They might have been waiting for the news of his deportation, but the news they received was that he was married to General Layton Lewis.

They started sending messages and calling him to verify his situation.

They were also thinking of getting benefits from his marriage. Ryzel can’t really understand how shameless they can be.

They got things they shouldn’t have and didn’t want to return them.

Now, they even wanted to get more benefits from him. He can’t really understand how his father was related to them.

His father was a very understanding man; he didn’t hate his step siblings but helped them. He was also very capable, so he was always helping his siblings whenever they needed it.

He really can’t fathom how his father’s siblings didn’t even think of their bonds. After his father died, they all went to get his things that should have been left for him.

Now, he needed the help of Layton Lewis to solve his inheritance problems and any problems that may arise because of his relatives.

He just needed to ask Layton Lewis about it to see if he was going to agree.

Ryzel looked at Layton Lewis, who was seated across from him, doing something with his light brain.

He wanted to explain his situation to Layton Lewis at this time, as both of them are still free.

But before he could open his mouth to say something, he heard Layton Lewis talk to someone else.

He heard Layton Lewis talking.

"Hello."

"Son, I saw your status. I know that the information update can’t be faked, but just in case. Is it true that you married someone?"

"Yes, indeed, I just got married last night."

"I see that’s good. You’re finally willing to marry someone.

Your mom can finally stop worrying about your marriage.

She has always been worried about you having no partner; she even started nagging me about it these days.

Fortunately, you finally found a partner. I saw his basic information. Is he really the son of General Carl Hanes?"

"Yes, he is indeed the son of General Carl Hanes."

"Oh, it is indeed that child.

I saw him when he was still a baby; his father brought him to the military at that time with his mother. He was a very cute child.

You should bring him home for me and your mother to see him.

Your mom was very eager to contact you as soon as she saw the update on your status.

I just stopped her, so you really need to bring that child for a visit.

I would also like to see how he has grown over the years."

"Okay, I’ll ask him first. If he agrees, we can visit tomorrow."

"Regarding the issue you caused yesterday, don’t worry about it; I already solved it.

However, your adjutant, Mervin, won’t be able to escape having a punishment."

"I understand; there’s no need to worry. Mervin’s punishment will most likely be suspension, which he anticipates.

Having that punishment is actually beneficial because he was always asking for a vacation."

"He is continuously requesting a vacation since you assigned him a lot of work. Don’t overwork him too much."

"I understand."

"As for the leave of absence you just submitted, I already approved it."

"Thank you, father."
