The Commander was dead.
I took over his position.
The first thing I did was abolish the exile system. Whether human, beast–person, or pure beast yet to awaken intelligence, all should have equal rights to stand in this world.
The second thing was to bury Lucas on the highest mountain peak of the Federation.
This was his wish.
A beast–man so proud in life wanted to be above everyone even in death.
Ethan stood to the side, not interfering, quietly waiting for me to dig the hole and bury the little scorpion in the soil.
“Born on this land, buried on this land.”
“This is the best resting place for him, right?”
I nodded.

Pricking my fingertip with a needle, I made a small patch of daisies bloom for Lucas one last time.
From now on, I had no more connection with him.
“Let’s go.”
I held Ethan’s hand, slowly walking down the mountain.
Looking into the distance.
The North District was full of vitality. That green river crossing the desert supported the development of Earth’s civilization.
“Commander, you’re amazing.”
Ethan smiled.
“Don’t call me Commander” I frowned slightly, “I’m not used to it.”
“Then what should I call you?”
“Olivia? Babe? Or…… My dear wife?”
I blushed, letting go of his hand and quickening my pace.
“Nonsense.”
But I didn’t dare walk too fast.

But I didn’t dare walk too fast.
I simply stopped, mustering all my courage to shout at him.
“Ethan, marry me!”
“Don’t ever leave me in this life!”
Ethan beckoned with
is finger. My body floated up, falling uncontrollably into his arms.
He mischievously
ched my waist.
“Yes, Commander.”
“We will never be apart.”
