"Brothers of the Twelfth Legion, you have worked hard. The Frieza Force and His Majesty are proud of you."
Gele said.
"Brothers of the Twelfth Legion, once His Majesty emerges from seclusion, This Prince will personally request pensions for you. Tashihong, convert all of This Prince's gold into Universe Coins and distribute them to the families of our fallen brothers and to those who were wounded."
Leige said.
"Sir, who is this?"
Leidore looked at Leige and asked Gele.
"Division Commander Leidore, this is the adopted son of His Majesty, the eldest prince of the Saiyan race, and the eldest son of King Vegeta: Leige. He is also the division commander of the 2nd Division of my Fourth Legion."
Gele introduced him to Leidore.
"This subordinate greets the Prince."
Leidore knelt on one knee to salute.
"Division Commander Leidore, you have addressed him incorrectly. You should address Leige as Prince Leige, not just as Prince."
Gele said to Leidore.
"This subordinate greets Prince Leige."
Leidore shouted to Leige.
"Division Commander Leidore, there is no need for such formalities. Please rise."
Leige helped Leidore up and said.
"Thank you, Prince Leige."
Leidore said.
"No need for formalities."
Leige helped Leidore up and said.
"Yase, send a telegram to the Chief of Staff. Our army has eliminated one-third of the Slug Army's officers and soldiers, and the remaining two-thirds have surrendered to our forces."
Gele said to a white-haired man standing beside him wearing the uniform of a deputy legion commander.
"Understood."
Yase said.
After speaking, Yase went to have a soldier notify the radio operator to send the telegram.
14:00.
"Prince Leige, Legion Commander Gele, thanks to your timely arrival to support my Twelfth Legion on Lava Planet, I toast you both."
At the banquet, Leidore raised his glass to Leige and Gele.
"Division Commander Leidore, I cannot drink alcohol yet. I will use water in place of wine to toast you, and on behalf of my father, I thank the Twelfth Legion for fighting to the death to hold Lava Planet."
Leige said, raising his glass of water.
"Many thanks, Prince."
Leidore said.
"Division Commander Leidore, you have addressed him incorrectly again. It is Prince Leige."
Gele reminded Leidore.
"Many thanks, Prince Leige."
Leidore said.
He still did not understand; since Leige was the King's adopted son, what was wrong with calling him Prince? Why did Gele keep insisting he add the name? A prince was a prince; why add the name?
17:00.
After the banquet ended, Gele and Leidore were dead drunk, so Leige ordered soldiers to help them back to their rooms.
"Engels, go and find out why Slug attacked Lava Planet. If you uncover important information, I will reward you handsomely."
Leige said to the man beside him, who was wearing a battle suit, had purple hair and skin, and looked very much like an Earthling.
Engels was one of the few confidants Leige had within the Frieza Force.
"This subordinate obeys."
Engels said.
Afterward, Leige went to the room Leidore had prepared for them.
21:00, Room 668.
"Prince, this is your subordinate Engels, requesting an audience."
Engels said outside Leige's room.
"Come in. The code is six sixes."
Leige said from inside the room.
Engels entered the room after inputting the password.
"How did things go?"
Leige, dressed in pajamas, asked Engels.
"Prince, your subordinate spent quite a few Universe Coins to find out why Slug is attacking Lava Planet," Engels replied.
To uncover the reason behind Slug's assault on Lava Planet, he had spent over ten thousand Universe Coins to pry the information from the lips of the Lava Planet garrison.
"This card contains thirty thousand Universe Coins, and the password is four eights. If you have truly gathered important intelligence, this card is yours," Leige said, pulling a gray card from his pajama pocket.
After returning to Frieza Planet No. 2, Leige had withdrawn the three hundred thousand Universe Coins from his System Space and deposited them into ten Universe Bank Cards.
"Prince, your subordinate discovered that Slug is attacking Lava Planet solely to seize the Fountain of Youth Water located there," Engels said.
"Fountain of Youth Water? What use is the Fountain of Youth Water?" Leige asked Engels.
Leige did not know if the Fountain of Youth Water in this world functioned the same way as it did in the novels of his past life, which was why he inquired with Engels.
"Prince, a battalion commander among the Lava Planet garrison told me that just ten grams of this Fountain of Youth Water can return anyone to their youth or adolescence, and it can even significantly increase the user's combat power," Engels explained to Leige.
"Such a good item—you must have brought some back for me, right?" Leige said to Engels.
"I won't hide it from you, Prince; your subordinate spent quite a few Universe Coins to obtain thirty grams of the Fountain of Youth Water from a regimental commander in the Lava Planet garrison," Engels said.
"Well done. This card contains thirty thousand Universe Coins, and the password is four sixes. Consider it your bonus," Leige said, pulling out another card.
"Thank you, Prince. Your subordinate swears to be loyal to you until death," Engels said.
"As long as you remain loyal to me, there will be no shortage of Universe Coins and gold in the future," Leige said.
Engels then handed the bottle containing the Fountain of Youth Water to Leige and left his room.
If Father were to return to his youth, would he still be able to transform into a Super Saiyan? Leige wondered, staring at the bottle of Fountain of Youth Water.
March 23rd, 8:00 AM.
After resting on Lava Planet for two days, Leige and Gele led their troops to depart for Frieza Planet No. 3.
Combat Space.
"This time, I will definitely defeat you!"
