She Married My Stepbrother, Then I Became His Commander Chapter 10
The war was over.For bringing the K-7 campaign to an end, I received the Purple Star, the Empire's highest honor, and became the youngest major general in its history.The day I returned to Capital Planet, my father and stepmother were waiting at the spaceport in their best clothes.The moment they saw the general's stars on my shoulders, their faces lit up with eager smiles."Son, you're back! I'm proud of you!""Ronan, let me look at you. You've lost weight."My father reached for my shoulder while my stepmother tried to take my hand.I stepped back before either of them could touch me."Mr. and Mrs. Cross." I looked at them, calm and distant. "I don't believe we're acquainted."Their smiles froze."Ronan, is that how you speak to your father? No matter what happened, I'm still your father!""My father?" I smiled. "Where was my father when I was driven to the front? Where was my father when my grandmother was driven to her death?""You..." He was too furious to answer.My stepmother
She Married My Stepbrother, Then I Became His Commander Chapter 9
Sienna gave up her rank and privileges as a lieutenant, then applied to serve as a regular mecha pilot in the Seventh Assault Unit.She started doing everything for me that I'd once done for her.Every morning, she woke up before everyone else to calibrate my mecha.Before every operation, she checked my gear again and again, making sure nothing could go wrong.In battle, she always covered my weakest flank, using what little firepower she had to clear a path for me.She no longer called me Ronan. Like everyone else, she called me Commander.The war slowly stripped away her pride and stubbornness, leaving only silence and endurance.Everyone at the base saw how hard she tried. Many told me that after everything she'd done, I should give her another chance.I didn't.Once, after we came back from a brutal ambush, everyone was exhausted.She quietly walked over and offered me a psychic serum, her voice hoarse."Commander, your mindscape is badly depleted. You need rest."I didn't take it

Life in the Seventh Assault Unit was hell for Declan.I didn't single him out. I treated him like any other recruit.But he'd been pampered all his life. Even a basic cross-country run with a pack had him whining, let alone a real combat simulation.More than once, he tried to cut corners during training. Every time, I doubled his punishment.Then, during a mission to clear out Swarm stragglers, he ignored orders, left the squad without permission, and stumbled into an unsurveyed hatching ground.He set off an alarm and sent a flood of larvae straight toward us.It took everything we had to rescue him. Larval acid splashed across his calf and left him badly injured.The anesthetic left him drifting in and out of consciousness in the med-pod.Sienna sat beside him, watching him anxiously.I walked in and looked down at him coldly.As if sensing my presence, he started mumbling in his sleep."Credits... I was never short on credits... what did I want a combat suit for... I just wanted he

A month later, Sienna finally used her father's connections to get herself and Declan transferred to K-7.They found me at the training ground on their first day.I was leading the recruits through close-combat drills."Ronan!"Her voice trembled with excitement.I didn't turn. Instead, I knocked down a soldier who tried to ambush me. "Too slow. Again."She rushed in front of me, her eyes red. "Ronan, I've finally found you. I'm sorry. Everything was my fault. I...""Lieutenant Mercer." I cut her off, glancing at the brand-new lieutenant bars on her shoulder. My voice was flat."This is a war zone, not a place to catch up. If you're reporting for duty, see the quartermaster."My cold response wiped the excitement from her face.Declan came up behind her. When he saw the command insignia on my shoulder, envy flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly put on an innocent look."Ronan, we came here to see you."I finally looked at him with open disgust."Private Hayes?""Yes.""Good." I smiled f

Every success at K-7 meant risking my life.I led every mission from the front, tearing through enemy lines with reckless force.Before long, the soldiers under my command had given me another name: the Crimson Ghost, a name that struck fear into the Swarm.During one battle, I stayed behind to cover the main force's retreat. My mecha ran out of power, and three bug lords closed in on me.My mindscape was on the verge of overloading. I thought I was going to die.Then a gentle yet powerful mind-link flowed into my mindscape like cool water, calming the frenzy inside me."Hold on! There's an opening at three o'clock on your left!"A calm woman's voice rang out in my mind.I brought my guns around and fired, blasting a hole through the weakest point in their formation.A silver-white medical support mecha rushed to my side. A surge of healing energy swept over my mecha, restoring its power almost instantly.After the battle, I climbed out of my cockpit and finally saw the pilot who had s

After the call ended, I shut down all my contact channels.While I was on a military transport headed for K-7, Sienna returned to my old house.She found the place empty and grabbed Susan."Where's Ronan?"Susan pulled free."Ronan? He's gone to the front. He won't be coming back."Sienna froze, her face going pale."Gone? Where? What about his grandmother's funeral?""Done. He handled everything himself," Susan cut her off, her eyes full of contempt."What are you doing here now? Ronan needed you, and you were off celebrating with the man who killed his grandmother. I've never seen anyone as heartless as you."Sienna staggered back, unable to speak.She called me over and over, but every call ended with the same cold message: "Unable to connect."When she couldn't reach me, she went to see her father.When he answered, she could hear a military briefing in the background."Father, can you find out where Ronan went? He's... disappeared."General Mercer's voice was sharp with anger and
