Chapter 53: Cherish the Present
These words were what Lane wanted to say before he came again.
But he was sluggish at the time, and it wasn't until a few months later that she sacrificed her vacation time to help them investigate the intelligence that she realized how much she had secretly done for him and for Class VII, but she never mentioned it.
This good intentions must be rewarded, even if it is just a sincere thanks.
Maybe Claire herself doesn't care, but since she did it all over again, Rien doesn't want to miss any opportunity, whether it's reversing the big things in the future or the small things in life.
"Lai ......"
Claire's eyes changed, the iceberg instantly melted, and then quickly froze, and she shook her head.
"It's too much to say, it's an abuse of power."
"Nope." Li En smiled slightly, "When the royal family goes out, they are eligible to ask for entourage and security. Both the princess and the elyse are women, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience in choosing a man, and no one is more suitable than the major. ”
"Hmm......" Claire was speechless, "I'll think about it, the vacation, and the matter of learning Miss Sarah's letting go." ”
"That's fine." Rien smiled softly.
Whether it's Laura or Claire, they're all people he values.
As for what exactly is this feeling? Whether it is friendship, family affection or love, Li En doesn't know, and he doesn't have any plans to get to the bottom of it.
He once left this world and stayed in the darkness where even time has been forgotten, and he just wants to enjoy the present moment and cherish the present.
Maybe one day in the future, he really has to make a choice and face his heart, but that will have to wait until after the decisive battle, if he is still alive, it is not too late to think about it.
Now he can't afford to make promises, so it's just like this, it's the best.
"Is the Major done?"
"For the time being." Claire also sat down beside Rien, "The Confederation Army and the Santeac branch of the Railway Gendarmerie will be put on maximum alert, and the Intelligence Bureau will help to the fullest. Although understaffed, Rechter has applied to you to see if he can call in some of the regular army or hire some people who are also active in the shadows. ”
"Maybe it's already here." Lane snorted.
Not perhaps, yes for sure.
Not to mention the wild boss he encountered when he was cleaning up the first wave of puppet weapons, just looking at the strategy of his biological father, it is impossible to prepare alone.
The Gray Knight, the Second Branch, and even the Railway Gendarmerie and the Intelligence Bureau are all covers, and even if they are all defeated, he will arrange a backhand.
It's scary to think about. The only thing to be thankful for is that Claire didn't know all this, and she was kept in the dark, probably because she was worried about her kindness and love, and she did it on purpose, and also to prevent her own side from seeing the flaws.
"......" Claire didn't speak.
She has followed Osborne since she was a girl, and in terms of understanding Osborne, in addition to the hidden truth, her adopted daughter is better than Riehn's own son.
Even if Osborne doesn't say it, how can she not see any clues, precision analysis is her strength.
She just didn't want to make it difficult for Li En, father and son were hostile to each other, and it hurt to think about it.
Claire was embarrassed about something, and Lane knew it clearly, and immediately regretted why she couldn't control her emotions just now.
But at this point, he could only rack his brains to make up for it, comforting:
"Don't worry, it's a good thing in this situation. In any case, the act of association will bring turmoil to the Empire, and as a member of the Empire, you must stop them, and I understand this reason. Of course, if you can, I don't want to use his power, just rely on our power to solve it. ”
"We?" A subtle hint of apprehension flashed in Claire's eyes.
"Well, we do." Rien looked into Claire's eyes, and her intentions were self-evident.
As a "child of iron", you think of us in every way, and of course I will consider you as one of us. Isn't it just the "Iron Blooded Child", as if there is no one around me.
"Okay, we." The corners of Claire's mouth turned up, although it was very shallow, but with an indescribable brightness, "Your Excellency and Rector didn't tell me, I don't know anything. The current situation, working with the Grey Knight and the Second Branch, is the best way to deal with it - this is the judgment of Claire Livitt, who belongs to the Railroad Gendarmerie. ”
"The second branch belongs, and Dawn Schwarzer thinks the same way."
Lane also followed Claire's example, entered a formulaic state, and said pretendically.
"Since it's a collaborative relationship, I'll give the Major one more clue that might be useful."
"Please."
"Guerrilla Association. I felt the smell of Fei in the morning, and I don't think it's an accident. ”
"Of course not, she, the temporary acting master of the Fandel Dojo, and the new violinist who has already spread the word in Santa Teyak, they all revolve around you, who made your 'Grey Knight' so popular?"
It can be seen that Claire is in a very good mood, so good that she will tease Rien, which is very rare.
"Because they're a bunch of sassy guys, too."
Li En, who started again, has also improved his rank a lot, and he replied softly and hard - he just said before that no matter how much someone loves to worry, Li En is worried that she will be overworked.
"But that's not all. The guerrilla associations and associations have been hostile for many years, and I don't think it could be a mere 'coincidence' that Falipino is here at this time. ”
"Definitely. Even if not, the experience of the guerrillas and social friends can be applied to this event, and maybe they can be caught faster than we can - no, nothing. ”
Halfway through that, Claire suddenly changed her tune.
Li En thought for a moment and guessed the answer: "It seems that the major has already caught the tail of the association, when it was at the iron gate?" ”
"You've seen it."
Claire stopped and stared before, Yuna and they couldn't see the clue, it didn't mean that Lane couldn't do it, after all, he had the script in his hand, and it was not difficult to push it back.
Many of today's layouts and plans are also based on reverse pushing, including asking Claire to contact Fei at this time, for the big event that happened at night.
"The iron door...... Not so easy to open. ”
"I know."
Lane's answer surprised Claire.
"You know?"
"Yes. So I didn't say anything at the time, it wasn't something to be made public, especially not to Yuna - otherwise she would hate the Empire even more. ”
"I don't have to think about what she's going to say."
Claire finally confirmed, spitting out heavy words solemnly and jerkyly.
"You really know...... That event, fifteen years ago...... The Hamel tragedy. ”
