![The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]](https://idrive.wunovel.com/at-global/cover/67f78ebcfcf88956c80a1a96.jpg?time=1744277180579)
ASTRID wanted to swear a bit after realizing that there’s a high chance Lance needed to be replaced. This was all because the other was actually foolish enough not to know that he had an ability.
Seriously, anyone that had enough IQ should have noticed by now that people fall for his seduction because there’s some hocus-pocus involved. But now Wulfric just confirmed that Lance was someone that’s truly ignorant. No, it went beyond that.
Astrid wasn’t sure if it was because the other was simply truly lacking in the brain department or if he was so confident with his own charm that he really believed anyone would be ready to open their legs for him at the snap of his fingers. Astrid had a feeling that it was a little bit of both.
Now the only image he had of Lance Reid was an overconfident idiot. A bit harsh but once he thought of all those newcomers he had an affair with, he felt the urge to punch the other. After all, what the other did, albeit not on his own volition, was almost the same as forcing his partners drink a date-rape drug against their will.
He sighed. He knew that it’s better for this guy to get lecture and undergo training. This could make certain that Lance wouldn’t have another ‘victim’. But this could also mean a delay in shooting. Which in turn would result in the delay of the show’s release.
Another frustrated sigh escaped his lips. He should probably just accept the inevitable.
Seeing the frustrated expression on Aster’s face, Wulfric understood that the other already assumed that his hands were tied and he couldn’t really do much about the whole situation.
“Don’t worry, I can probably do something to make sure that guy won’t be replaced and your shooting won’t be delayed,” he said.
Astrid was a bit surprised hearing that. “Is that okay? You won’t be using your military power to do that, right? Because if you do, then it’s fine. It’s probably better to just replace that guy.”
“Hey, although I’m short tempered, I don’t do power trips.” Wulfric said that in a scolding tone, but no one would think he’s offended because of how the corners of his lips were raised. “I said that because I really can do something about it.”
Besides, Hildred hadn’t yet reported the whole thing to the capital’s military base and there’s no way their army would do so. Since Hildred had already confirmed the other’s ability, he and Leland had talked about how their army could benefit with the other’s ability.
That’s a bit crass, saying it like that. But someone with a pheromone-related ability like that was quite sought after in the military. Before this Lance Reid could be nabbed by another army or worse, by the intelligence department, it’s better for their Fenris Squad to nab the other and make him work for their army.
In order for Lance Reid to get training, they should report about his ability first to the military. But since it’s in their benefit to not do that, they had already thought of an alternative. Or rather, Leland did.
“You have nothing to worry about,” he said again. “Trust me.”
At that ‘trust me’, how could Astrid not to? If Wulfric was this confident, then that meant that he must really have a way to solve the situation.
“Okay,” he said. “I trust you.”
Wulfric smiled at that. “So, how was filming going?” he asked, changing the topic.
———-
After about an hour of wonderful conversation, Wulfric reluctantly ended the call. He still had a lot of work to do. He glanced frustratedly at the pile of papers on his desk. But after that talk with Aster, he felt very refreshed. It’s like he could work for another 24 hours without sleeping.
That’s when a knock came to the door. It opened and Leland walked in.
“Your Highness, I just finished talking to Hildred. He and Mr. Reid are already on their way here,” he said after standing in front of the prince’s desk.
Wulfric nodded. “Did Reid arrange things on his side properly before leaving? I don’t want to see a report of him going missing surfacing in the [StarNet].”
“Hildred said that Mr. Reid had arranged everything and emptied the next two weeks of his schedule.”
“Good.”
“Once they arrived, I’ll take over from Hildred and educate Mr. Reid about the things that he should and shouldn’t do as someone who has an ability.”
Wulfric grinned when he heard that. “Make sure to thoroughly ‘educate’ him.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”

At the main mansion of the Grimaldis located at the capital star…
A flying car landed on the driveway and a boy with silver hair and a pair of sapphire blue eyes jumped down. He walked towards the manor with a bounce in his steps. Showing how much of a good mood he was currently in.
Of course, Nicol was very happy. He just got the highest score in their class for their mock quiz. He was also praised by his art teacher for the sketch he made. With this, he could probably request something from his father.
Several AI robots welcomed him back. Taking his bag and asking him if he wanted snacks.
“No thanks. Is my Dad back home?” he asked.
“No, young lord. Lord Thomas is still not back,” one of the robots answered.
But as if on cue, the door opened and his father walked in. Nicol’s face immediately brightened.
“Dad!” he called, running towards the other.
Thomas quickly knelt down to catch the running cannonball. Then, he picked Nicol up. “You’re in a very good mood,” he said, tapping the boy’s nose.
Nicol showed a toothy grin and told his father about his accomplishments today.
Thomas stared at his son and he could easily see what the other was on about. “Okay. What do you want?”
“I want to see Brother Aster!” Nicol didn’t hesitate to say.
Before Thomas could say anything, a voice spoke from up the stairs.
“Who is this ‘Brother Aster’?”
Thomas looked up and greeted the owner of the voice, “Father.”
