CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 33: THINKING, PART 2

Ryzel could still remember that General Layton Lewis, in his youth, was still willing to tell him different stories and also helped him with his homework sometimes.

He also knew that the general at least had a good relationship with his parents.

Ryzel had a bit of a friendship with Layton Lewis when he was young, so he knew that if he married him, at least he wouldn’t be miserable.

General Layton Lewis’ character was also guaranteed by a lot of people, and as a God of War admired by the entire Federation, he can’t do anything that is against morals.

So Ryzel was sure that being married to General Layton Lewis was a good choice.

Not to mention, Layton Lewis fits all the requirements he has for a marriage partner.

He was strong enough and could easily defeat his family in terms of wealth and status.

Looking at his treatment after getting married and his treatment after waking up, it seems that getting married to General Layton Lewis was a good choice.

Ryzel was treated very well, which is very good. His treatment is actually beyond his expectations, but Ryzel doesn’t want to refuse Layton Lewis’ goodwill.

He still doesn’t understand why Layton Lewis was so good to him.

Even though Layton Lewis already said that he married him because he wanted to. He still doesn’t believe it.

He knew it wasn’t good to just doubt someone’s intention, but with what happened to him, he really doesn’t believe what Layton Lewis said.

A man who has been with him for years wasn’t even the least bit sincere. So, Layton Lewis, who suddenly came and said he wanted to marry him because he wanted to, was unbelievable.

However, he could still see that Layton Lewis was being sincerely good to him.

As they are already married to each other, they will be each other’s partners for life.

Unless General Layton Lewis has an accident, their marriage is for life.

A marriage between a sentinel and a guide is harder to undo because their marriage isn’t only bound by the legal laws.

Once they are married, a sentinel and a guide will also be bound to each other via their mental power.

Ryzel understands that they are now tied as one, so he wasn’t opposed to getting along with Layton Lewis.

Ryzel would do his duty as a partner sooner or later, so it would be better to get along with Layton Lewis.

He already decided that for his relationship with Layton Lewis, he would just go with the flow.

If he was treated well, then he would also treat Layton Lewis well.

He resolved to treat Layton Lewis the same way he treats himself. In terms of being in love or having other feelings, it would be up to time and fate to determine whether he would feel anything for Layton Lewis.

Ryzel wasn’t opposed to falling in love with Layton Lewis because he was already his partner, but feelings can’t be forced, so Ryzel left it up to fate.

He would just do everything that he was supposed to do as the partner of Layton Lewis.

As for other things, he wouldn’t care about them.

He still wanted to continue making his potions, so he knows he doesn’t have the energy to focus too much on other issues.

Getting married to Layton Lewis was really good; at least he was allowed to do anything that he wanted.

Layton Lewis already promised him that he could do everything that he wanted, so he could continue doing his potion research and making potions.

At least he wasn’t restricted from doing what he wanted, like most of the guides who married.

Most guides were actually reluctant to be married early because most of their actions would be restricted after marriage because of different circumstances.

Most of them can’t do what they enjoyed doing the most after getting married.

That’s why a lot of guides were actually reluctant to get married early.

However, they couldn’t go against the Federation Law, so they just followed the arrangement.

Most guides would be married to soldier sentinels, so most of them have to follow their partners wherever they were assigned to.

They would be living near the place where their partners are assigned so that they could give timely guidance if needed.

That’s why their actions would also be restricted a bit.

They couldn’t enjoy the freedom they had when they weren’t married.

However, guides also knew that they needed to fulfill their responsibilities as guides because humanity was still fighting against the invasion of the Zergs.

They knew that they couldn’t even have the little freedom they have now if the Zergs succeeded.

At least they could still enjoy their current life for now, but as soon as the Zergs succeed in their invasion, they will surely end up dead.

So, even if they have a lot of dissatisfaction with the early marriage law for guides, they won’t oppose it fiercely.

Ryzel and the other guides knew that as long as the invasion of the Zergs was still a threat, they couldn’t get the freedom they longed for.

They knew that even if they voiced their dissatisfaction, nothing would happen.

The survival of humanity as a whole is at risk, so they could just bear with the current circumstances they are experiencing.

Now that their situation is better than their predecessors, there would be no point in fighting for their rights now that the whole race is still at risk.

They knew that the government wouldn’t compromise further as long as there were still Zergs as threats.

The guides were actually the people who wished for the end of the battle the most.

Unlike some sentinels and ordinary people who wanted to gain honor and title through the fighting, the Zergs all wanted the battle to end.

They fervently wish for the annihilation of Zergs because they understand that the root cause of their problems is the current war that has been happening for hundreds of years.

For now, they could only fight for better treatment for themselves, but they can’t fight for the freedom of their marriage because it is one of their responsibilities.

Society imposed these responsibilities on them for the survival of humanity.

They are responsible for guiding sentinels, and of course, they are also responsible for the birth of more guides and sentinels. That’s why their marriages are decided very early, and they need to get married early.

The Federation wanted to reduce the casualties on the frontlines, and they also wanted to have more powerful sentinels to fight. So, guides needed to marry early for them to do their responsibilities earlier.

As long as guides establish a resonance with their partner and establish a mental mark and lock, then the sentinels won’t be negatively affected by their sensitive senses.

They can’t be easily affected when fighting the Zergs, so their combat effectiveness will skyrocket.

The higher the compatibility, the easier it is to establish a resonance, and the longer the mental lock could work. That’s why compatibility between a guide and a sentinel is very important.

If a guide and a sentinel have high compatibility, the mental lock established by the guide in the sentinel’s mind would work for a long period of time.

It means the Sentinels could stay on the battlefield longer without fear of having a mania.

This is also a reason why, a long time ago, as long as you had the highest compatibility with a certain sentinel, the guide would be forced to marry the sentinel with the highest compatibility with them.

Having higher compatibility doesn’t necessarily mean that they would fall in love with each other, especially for guides and sentinels that have only a few percentage differences.

At that time, the guides didn’t even have a choice to marry someone they liked, as they needed to marry the person with the highest compatibility with them.

When the study of medicine advanced and made soothing and stabilizing potions, that’s only when the guide’s plea to marry someone they liked was answered.

Even though there were still a lot of restrictions, nowadays most guides can still marry someone they at least fancy.

However, it doesn’t mean that the importance of a high compatibility rate is gone.

It was still very important, especially if the compatibility rate was very high.

That is also the reason that as soon as people knew that the compatibility rate of Dwight and Sean was very high, support for their marriage became very high.

Even though most people knew that he was treated unfairly, just because the compatibility rate of Sean and Dwight was very high compared to his compatibility rate with Dwight, which was only 35%, they all blessed Sean and Dwight.

The mental lock on a sentinel is very significant on the battlefield.

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.
