I got a good night's rest yesterday... And still, I'm trying to wrap my mind around that reward I got for helping my race in achieving a new level of power...

"Maybe I should take it... Not only would be much more powerful, but my potential would skyrocket based on being a hybrid..." I said, contemplating it to myself.

If I took this thing, not only will my power grow passively, since that is a Hanma bloodline passive ability, my strength would be far too great for any challenges, hypothetically speaking.

I took the Vial out of my inventory and took a hard look at it...

Not knowing much about it, I decided to inspect it, since other than being a 'Hanma blood' tonic of some sort I didn't have a clue as to what this thing was...

'Fuck it.' I thought.

I used my 'observation' ability on it...

.

.

.

[Hanma Bloodline Tonic: The strength of this fiendish bloodline will run through your very veins once swallowed. (Take note that due to the potency of the bloodline it will take effect of over 5 years to fully sublimate within the genes of the drinker, as well as change the host's appearance. ..)

.

.

.

This was a first... This thing was a slow build-up. Essentially what it's saying is that my Hanma abilities will take 5 years to fully absorb.

Or it was a dud...

"Interesting..." I said.

Well, why not. I don't see a reason not to take it now, the benefits probably won't show for at least a year.

I took a deep breath and swallowed the thing.

.

.

.

'... It tasted like utter shit...' I thought disgusted.

On one hand, I didn't feel any weird things happening to my physique, specifically any warm 'sensations' or 'tingly' feelings, and lastly the most popular effect, pain...

'Maybe it was a dud, I figured something like this was, 'potentially' too good to be true.'

I thought a little dejected.

"Well, it isn't like I particularly needed a boost in my strength..."

I quickly gathered my bearings and then came out of my bed to get a bath and my clothes on...

"It seems my plan on going to Yardrat is going to initiate," I said dejectedly...

"Really? Why all of a sudden?" Rosetta asked, her voice filled with concern...

"I require techniques, and they are the perfect people to go for such things, plus... Why are you so worked up all of a sudden?" Daiko asked curiously.

He felt her reaction was a bit too off for his taste.

"T-that- It's nothing... Could you tell me how long you'll be gone for at least?" Rosetta asked.

"... A couple of years, maybe about 3-4 years, and 5 at best," Daiko stated.

Rosetta clenched her jer fists behind her before responding...

"I'll... Prepare a ship for you to leave within a couple of minutes..." Rosetta added.

However before she could go, Daiko grabbed her hand...

"Rosetta, do me a favor and don't alert anyone else... I need this to be a secret between both of us..." Daiko said, staring her in the eyes.

Rosetta understanding that he was serious nodded reluctantly...

After a few minutes, the orders were now given. Daiko quickly went to his newly modeled ship, now with Rosetta seeing him off...

.

.

.

"Don't you think this is too fast? We just unlocked our new powers yet you're already ready to leave? Couldn't this trip wait a few more years?" She asked, trying to dissuade the current events...

Daiko sighed.

"It could have been avoided... But I've had this on my mind for the last 2 years... I'm glad yo... Our race unlocked our maximum potential... But things change... You know I'm not like the others... My powers are volatile and borderline almost uncontrollable, so this is for the best." Daiko said.

'unfortunately, it's the truth, my angry still has control of me, I don't have a shounen protagonists luck, if I go berserk there's nothing that will stop me, the only thing I've done so far simply removed my ability to get angry, but not necessarily controlling said anger.' Daiko thought to himself...

Rosetta on the other hand wasn't having any of it... Her jaws were clenched, withholding a silent rage.

'Why does he always do this!? He always goes away to do tasks out of absolutely nowhere, and now this!!?' She thought angrily.

As Daiko was heading off, he turned back toward her...

"Oh and Rosetta. Tell Vegeta that I'm expecting his child by the time I'm back. See you in a couple of years." Daiko said smiling, quickly closing the hull of the ship, and flying off, leaving Rosetta confused...

.

.

.

"H-he... Knew?..." Rosetta repeated to herself, falling on the floor.

.

.

.

Rosetta could be seen walking in the capital of the city. However, anyone could tell she was in disarray.

She looked a few shades paler than she would like to admit.

Some might question why she was out in the city and not in her chambers...

It's because she was looking for someone...

.

.

.

After half an hour of searching, she found who she was looking for.

"Darles!" She shouted, alerting some of the nearby Saiyans to her arrival. They had gathered and bowed their heads, but it was like none of them existed at the moment.

"Queen Rosetta? What are you doing here?" Darles said after running towards the queen.

"We need to talk... NOW" Rosetta stated, her tone indicating that she wouldn't take anything other than a yes as an answer.

Darles simply nodded and followed the queen.

'What would the queen come down here for? Is it THAT urgent?' I asked myself.

As we both left the eyes of the crowd, we went to my second home nearby, which was luckily far away from the capital of the city...

As we both drew closer to my house I took a good look at the queen. And she looked like she had gone through. a second divorce...

I had never seen her in a state like this before...

"What's wrong Rosetta? Did someone hurt you?" I asked her, but even that seemed implausible to a degree, she was one of the strongest people on the planet...

However, Rosetta said nothing for what seemed like minutes...

And then...

"He knows..." Rosetta whispered.

I looked at her with visible confusion.

'What?' I said to myself.

"Who knows? And WHAT do they know?" I asked, still puzzled about everything.

I saw her take a deep breath... I could tell she was composing herself. Or at least, trying her hardest to.

"Daiko knows about you and Vegeta..."
