When the child heard this, he took the lead in looking at Commander Gowers.

Commander Gowers smiled at him and nodded.

Seeing this, the child timidly stretched out his hand and put his little hand on Lingchu's.

Lingchu held his hand, stood up and said, "Commander Gals, let's take him away first."

Commander Gowers nodded.

Lingchu said again: "Please don't send it away. As for what happens after this child... we will contact you in private."

Commander Gowers looked at the child and nodded again.

Lingchu and Yanchen then left with their children.

Watching them walk out of the reception room, Fred looked at Commander Gowers anxiously, "Commander, how could you keep that child with you?"

Commander Gowers said nothing.

Fred scratched his head: "I know the commander may feel sorry for him, but we were trying to quell the chaos at the time, and there was nothing we could do. Besides, even if the commander didn't take action at that time, once the child's identity was exposed, the empire would not let him go.

If you let him go, maybe he will die a worse death, and he will not be able to grow up after all. You——"

Although it may not be appropriate to say so.

But Fred was telling the truth.

The empire had just been established, so naturally there would be no royal blood from those small planets left behind.

Even if Commander Gowers didn't take action, it would still be difficult for this child to grow up safely.

Fred felt that this might not be entirely Commander Gowers' fault.

Hearing this, Commander Gowers said quietly: "I used to think the same as you. I felt that everything I did was for the empire, but I don't think so now."

Fred looked at Commander Gowers blankly.

Commander Gowers smiled at him and said, "I am a father, Fred. If you have also become a father, you will know how I feel now."

He turned his head, looked in the direction where Lingchu and Yan Chen left, and sighed.

"Do you know what I was thinking when I looked at him just now? My child, and millions of children in the world, were so fragile and cute when they were born. At that time, they had no way to choose their own.

He was born, and he didn’t know what he would face after he was born. It was not his fault that he was born into the rebel army. War should not harm children."

Fred gradually fell silent.

He was actually married, but he never had children.

Because his wife had been seriously ill a few years ago and had never given birth.

He doesn't care about this himself.

It seems that he has never liked children.

However, he knew in his heart that Commander Gowers was right.

Children are innocent after all.

Parents can choose whether to have this child, but children cannot choose their parents.

If possible, that child would not want to be of rebel blood.

However, God did not give him the right to choose.

But he had just been born, he had done nothing, he had made no mistakes, yet he was killed just because of his bloodline.

Is it truly fair to him?

Fred asked himself, but could not find a real answer for a while.

Seeing him lowering his head, Commander Gowers reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling easily, "I'm getting older and it's time to leave the military area. If that child comes back to me, it will be my compensation for him.

, let me accompany him through the last period of time."

Even if it takes his last life, he is willing to do it.
