[Interstellar ABO] What Does an Imperial Marshal Do After Retirement?

Three hundred years have passed, and at last the Milky Way has seen the dawn of peace.

Peace is certainly a good thing, but it has brought a few small problems along with it.

The end of war means upheaval, and upheaval means unemployment.

At the forefront of the wave of job losses is the young and promising, undefeated marshal and commander-in-chief of the navy, Carl Yephikash.

After leaving the navy, he was assigned to the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. It sounds just as cool as Carl Yephikash himself, but the job is just as likely to be cut at any moment.

What professional skills does one need to head the Imperial Intelligence Bureau?

Keep a straight face while handling a public relations crisis about yourself.

Subordinate: Director, everyone on the Superlight Forum is saying you're an Omega.

Carl: Oh, I see. Take them away. Next.

Subordinate: They're also saying His Majesty relieved you of your position as naval marshal because your Omega status was discovered, and that your health is poor because you've been using suppressants for a long time.

Carl doesn't understand, but Carl is deeply shocked.

Carl recommends that everyone see a doctor. Be sure to thank Carl.

Stay resolute. Don't let good looks tempt you.

Agent: The Federal Naval Intelligence Bureau has analyzed the rumors and believes they may well be true. If you were marked by an Alpha chosen by the Federation, it would be greatly beneficial to us.

As if! What director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau could ever fail the test of a handsome federal agent?

Even if he is elegant, beautiful, composed, and sharp.

And has a gorgeous head of dark gold curls, with eyes like the sky at dawn.

...Isn't that a little too tempting?

"So you're saying there's still a chance it could work, right? If... you really are an Omega."

The young federal agent's smile was sincere and pure.

A few things to know before reading:

1. Both protagonists are experienced, clear-headed adults who take responsibility for their actions. The author does not deny that they may have had romantic experiences [which won't be mentioned in the story]. In other words, neither is assumed to be the other's first love.

2. Carl has not developed a secondary gender, while the agent is a genuine Alpha. In this setting, Carl can still sense the scent of pheromones and identify emotions, but he isn't affected by them. For the full details of the setting, come in and read at your own pace.

3. You don't need to tell me if you drop the story. Kisses to my lovely readers.

Theme: Every kind of power comes with a corresponding responsibility.
