The curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian
The Feelings that Blurted Back

Meanwhile, inside Planet Halida, the atmosphere has been very busy for the past few years. The servants, every year should be preoccupied with holding a party called a dance, when in fact, the party was made to find a proper princess.

The dance will be held every year until Higarashi finds his soul mate and gets married. Every year too, officials, nobles, and leaders from all over the planet, both inside and outside the Goldinian Solar System, are, welcome to bring their daughters who are old enough to marry.

However, no matter how many girls were present and during whatever dance party took place, Higarashi remained in his stance, that is, he did not want to get married. Not knowing what the reason was, in fact, he was old enough to get married, and high court officials began to talk about this.

One afternoon, the king, Neriya, and the empress, Klafina, and Higarashi were seen together in the palace backyard to enjoy the fresh air while walking around.

“Hey, Son. You are twenty-two years old, and of all the girls, has nothing caught your eye?” ask Neriya.

“Ah, I'm still very young. Why hold a dance party since I was eighteen while I still consider myself too young for such things?” ask Higarashi to his father.

Neriya started to look annoyed after listening to that question.

“If you do not marry and have no children, then the planet will no longer have a leader who is pure blood from the previous leader, Higarashi. Chaos will ensue, and those high-ranking officials will definitely stage a massive coup,” Klafina said.

“Gosh, I've never even seen you close to a girl, whoever it is!” exclaim Neriya.

Higarashi let out a long sigh, then asked, “Look at Planet Palladina. They can make Xyon prime minister because he has no pure descendants from the previous leader, so why can't I be like that? Isn't it easy to appoint someone to be prime minister after I'm gone but not married?”

Neriya immediately turned his head towards Higarashi while frowning his forehead.

“There's a rumor circulating inside the palace that you're not actually interested in the opposite sex, son. The dance will always be held annually in the palace, until you find a companion, and get married!” yells.

"I'm not interested in the girls,” Higarashi replied.

Klafina smiled slightly, then she looked at the boy and said, “Entah what kind of girl you want to make as your wife, son. Isn't there a pretty girl who really caught your attention there?”

“Already! We'd better match this kid with a princess from Diamona!” exclaim Neriya.

Higarashi stopped his steps. Neriya and Klafina also stopped stepping, then looked at him with a serious-looking face.

“I don't want to marry anyone! I also don't want to be betrothed to anyone!” his yell.

He then walked to his private room, leaving his parents there.

Higarashi did not care about the call. He continued walking until he arrived in front of his own room. In a hurry, he opened the door and went inside, then walked quickly towards the cupboard that was in front of his bed..

He then opened the cupboard, then took an object that he always put a bit deep at the end, even hidden until no one servant knew it. Higarashi then closed the cupboard and walked to the bed. He then sat down while watching an object .., which he had been hiding, with a sad face.

It was a bottle label with a chrysanthemum flower.

“I don't want to get married, but I'm looking forward to someone. Memories are short, but very imprinted in my heart, even now,” mumbled slowly.

He then lay on the bed while still holding the label with his left hand.

“Does he remember me?” mumbling again.

The next morning, Neriya, Klafina and Higarashi are seen eating breakfast that has just been served by the waiters. However, the slightly tense atmosphere actually made them not talk to each other for a while.

"Until when did you decide not to get married?" neriya asked as she picked up a bowl of soup with her right hand.

"I don't want to get married, until any time," Higarashi replied, eating his breakfast.

"You've been twenty-two years, does your mother need to come directly to all the planets in the Metal Galaxy, to find a girl for you?" asked Klafina who suddenly stopped eating her breakfast and looked at Higarashi with a small smile on her face.

"No need to bother, Mother. I don't want to get married,” replied Higarashi again.

Usually, Neriya always patiently faced her son who answered questions about marriage with such rejection, but somehow this time he became very upset to hear the same answer from Higarashi.

Suddenly, he stopped eating the bowl of soup earlier, then kicked the dining table with his left hand, with a face filled with annoyance.

"What's really going on? Why don't you get married? All the virgin girls who are always present at every dance, all of them you ignore. Don't you understand that the rumors circulating about you are troubling us! You should have realized, as a prince, as crown prince, that you should marry and continue the interplanetary royal relationship! There should be no thought in your brain to delay marriage again! I will soon match you with the Princess of Diamona!” exclaim Neriya.

He took a long breath. His wife, Klafina, then looked at Higarashi who was still eating his food. It seemed that the crown prince did not even budge even though his father had been angry since.

With a smile, Klafina asked, “You still miss that dark blue haired little girl, don't you?”

Higarashi immediately stopped eating his breakfast after his mother asked him that, until he looked at Klafina with a serious face. Neriya was even surprised and turned towards his wife because of the question.

“Not possible, dear. First, the little girl had most likely already forgotten about Higarashi. Second, he is a human! There's no way I'm going to bless their relationship! Do you want our granddaughter to be born later to be a Crossbreed? Didn't you hear the curse on Crossbreed, which circulated for a long time inside this Metal Galaxy? That crossbreed will lead to a more devastating war going forward, between us and the Silverians, or any of the other planets, than it is now! Although the curse is only a rumor and has not been proven true, but even the rumors have made trouble!" exclaimed Neriya with a face that was red because it held back emotions.
