Interlude: Confession

After lear had lectured his men, he made an excuse to turn and leave, and he had something he wanted to tell Maggie that he had to do.

He turned his back to the cheers of the crowd and left, and as he passed by the position of the black triple star, he pretended to show an elegant and handsome smile to Gaia, making Gaia's seven orifices smoke.

I couldn't help but be happy.

He even walked a little briskly, and that somewhat smug look made the three black uncles jump angrily.

Just as he was about to leave Gnaku, he heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Lieutenant, please wait a moment! ”

He turned his head to see that it was Aina.

Aina's face was a little pale, her expression was hesitant, and there was an indissoluble sadness between her eyebrows, she was already a very beautiful girl, and it was even more pitiful to show this expression at this moment.

If it weren't for Lear's heart, I'm afraid he would fall in love at this moment.

Men are unexpectedly, no, unsurprisingly very easy to fall into all kinds of love, which is a matter of reproductive instinct and does not shift by the will of the individual.

Lear asked curiously, "What's wrong, Aina?" ”

Although I've been getting used to it lately, and I understand that it's a name between friends, Aina can't help but be a little shy, and for this girl who hasn't had any friends since the past, it's a new experience to call her by her first name with her friends.

"Lieutenant," she hesitated before changing her title, "Lear, I have something to tell you." ”

"Is it important?" Lear asked inexplicably, "If it's not particularly important, can you please wait a minute, I have something to do here。。。。。。。 ”

"It's a very important word!" Aina said loudly, startling Lear, who was not mentally prepared.

"Please, listen to me, Lear." She said, a pleading look on her face.

"Okay。。。。。。。 But let's go somewhere a little quieter," Lear said, after all, in the hallway, "It's not a good place to talk." ”

With that, he pulled Aina to the porthole.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Lear laughs and says he doesn't know what Aina is going to say to him, but if he can help, Lear is more than happy to do it.

"That 。。。。。。" Aina's mouth opened and closed a few times, and her hesitation was palpable, but in the end, she took a deep breath and bowed her head deeply to Lear, "I'm so sorry! ”

Her voice was a little louder, so much so that the person next to her also noticed, something like, 'What's the matter, was that person's confession rejected?' 'No, I just saw what looks like the girl's confession?' 'Isn't that Lieutenant Alkerstein?' He was dumped? ' and so on.

"What's the matter, Aina, you look up," Lear was also a little flustered for a moment, but the top priority was to get rid of the onlookers, lest their unbridled discussion disgrace Aina, so he glared viciously at the gossip people who thought he had seen the emotional dispute, and drove them all away with stern and cold eyes: "Are you all idle, all go back to your posts, don't get in the way here!" ”

After all, he was an officer, and a man who was promoted as a hero by Zeon, and under his sight, the good deeds were suddenly scattered.

"Aina, calm down and take your time," Lear said with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened when you apologized to me so suddenly." ”

"Or did I have something wrong with my attitude and misunderstood you?" Lear tried to make a joke to lighten the mood: "It's the first time I've been dumped when I don't know it." ”

"Ahh That, I'm sorry," Aina said hurriedly, two blush flying across her face, "I didn't mean that. ”

"I know, don't care," Lear said with a smile, "It's tiring to apologize all the time, and I can't talk properly, how about a little rest?" ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Then I might as well be respectful. Aina also calmed down and said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

After a few moments, Lear spoke again, and he looked at Aina and asked, "So, why are you apologizing to me?" ”

"I don't remember anything you've done to be sorry for me."

"No。。。。。。。 Actually, I'm sorry for Noles," her expression began to darken again: "I'm very sorry that he left suddenly at this time." ”

"But he's definitely not running away," said Aina, firmly and eagerly, as if she didn't want her only remaining friend to misunderstand her family: "He's not that kind of person, there must be something。。。。。。 ”

AS SHE SPOKE, HER VOICE LOWERED, NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS SUSPICIOUS OF NORES, BUT BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHY NORES HAD RETURNED TO SIDE3 in such a hurry, because she didn't know how to defend him.

Lear couldn't help but say, "It's amazing, Aina, you really really trust Major Packat." ”

I believe to the point that although I don't understand what Norles is doing, I still trust him unconditionally.

"Yes, he's the one I trust the most," Aina said, looking into Lear's eyes, "For me, it's like a father, so。。。。。。 ”

As she spoke, she suddenly pursed her lower lip tightly.

Lear could understand her feelings, such a trusted person, but left without saying a word and nothing to herself, if there was no pressure in Aina's heart, it would probably be impossible.

However, even if she was doubtful, even if she was nervous, she still firmly expressed her trust in Nolles.

Try to protect Aina, otherwise she will come into contact with the family's despicable Nores.

And Aina, who doesn't know what Norles is doing, still sees him as a father-like existence and trusts him unconditionally.

Is...... Enviable feelings, Lear couldn't help but sigh, although he knew that the relationship between these two people was very good in the past, but every time he saw it, he still couldn't help but smile.

"I understand what you're going to say, don't worry, I never thought he was a runaway."

"Major Packat must have never told you anything," Lear said with a smile, "but don't worry, you know him better than I do, and since he didn't tell you why he left suddenly, then this matter must not be something you need to worry about." ”

"Because Major Packart is a man who cherishes you very much, just as you see him as a father, he must also see you as a daughter."

"Would such a person deliberately hide from you those things you need to know?"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Aina was silent, but her expression seemed to improve, not that she didn't understand the truth, but when someone told her again from a third person's point of view, she felt much more relaxed.

"Since he judges, it's better that you don't know about this matter, so why don't you trust his judgment?"

"He didn't say anything to you, so I guess I believe you will trust him." Lear laughed and said that Aina was about his age, but he couldn't help but rub her head like he did his younger sister and comforted her.

If Lear was a theist, he would definitely swear to all the known gods at this moment that he had no evil thoughts, but the truth is that by the time he realized that his behavior was wrong, Aina's face was already red and could drip blood, and Lear hurriedly withdrew his hand, although there was also the option of pretending to be nothing, but he still honestly apologized: "Hmm。。。。。。 Sorry, subconsciously reached out。。。。。。。 ”

He sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. ”

"Ah, no, it's okay," Aina said hurriedly, "I know you don't mean it."

"This kind of thing can be done between friends, I'm just a little startled, please don't mind it so much."

Although Aina really doesn't have any friends, she also knows that such an intimate action is definitely not something that a friend can do, but at this moment, she can only think of such a statement for the time being.

Lear smiled awkwardly and paused slightly.

Then something suddenly occurred to him.

Nolles left without hesitation, leaving Aina alone on the battlefield, which is not cautious, did he not take this into account?

I'm afraid not, although he looks rough, but he is an unexpectedly delicate man, and he shouldn't be negligent.

If you want to say why Aina stays here, maybe the reason is because of Lear's trust in Lear, believing that even if she leaves in a hurry, Lear will be able to take care of Aina.

Because he and Aina are friends, Nolles believes that Lear is not one to abandon his friends.

However, this trust made Lear feel hot, in fact, he had not thought about it before, and more importantly, he was about to take everyone, including Aina, to death, and put them in danger that they would not have suffered if they had followed the rules.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Aina, after the war, you can follow me." ”

"Huh?" Aina paused for a moment, she didn't react to Lear's meaning.

"I mean," Lear repeated, "when the war starts, you can be my wingman, and stay with me, so that I can help you in any danger." ”

Despite this assurance, Lear himself is not confident that he will be able to protect Aina while completing his original goal, so he can only say that he will do his best, if it is a critical moment。。。。。。 I had no choice but to give up.

After understanding what Lear meant, Aina was silent, she didn't answer whether it was good or bad, but silence was her best answer.

"Don't you want to?" Lear asked.

"No, it's not that she doesn't want to," Aina said with a wry smile, and it was true that if she became Lear's wingman, she would definitely have a better survival rate than partnering with other teammates, but her self-esteem made her unable to accept it: "But in this way, I will definitely hold you back." ”

"There's no need to care so much about me," she said seriously, "Now that I've been on the battlefield, I'm also ready to be aware of it, and in this way, isn't it as if I'm the only one who has been given preferential treatment?" ”

"That's too cunning, I don't want to do that."

"That's what you think?" For Lear, he really didn't have the idea of treating someone favorably, for him it was just to make up for his own negligence.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Yes, that's what I thought," she said, looking calmly into Lear's eyes, "That'。。。。。。 I can't say it, but I don't feel right. ”

"I understand what you're trying to say," Lear said with a smile, "but I hope you understand that this is not an order from me as your superior, but a request from me." ”

"Stay with me, Aina." He did not realize that this sentence could be understood in other ways, and this was due to the lack of rich grammar and vocabulary in English, and it was not his own intention.

But what does it matter, because Aina is not mistaken either.

"For me, other people are my subordinates, but you are my friend, treat your friend well, and hope she doesn't die, is this a violation of any rules or principles?"

"I 。。。。。。" Aina didn't know what to say for a moment, Lear's logic was actually bandit logic that confuses concepts, but she was really stopped in a hurry.

"So it's decided?" Lear said with a smile.

"This 。。。。。。。" Aina had an unacceptable expression, but she was quickly defeated by Lear's gaze.

"I see, then please let me accept your kindness, but," her face was still unrelieved, "I can't accept doing nothing like that." ”

"I'm afraid。。。。。。。 There's no way to take down the enemy," there was a look of dazedness and pain in her eyes, and Lear knew why: "Even more so after that." ”

It's because she's that kind of person that Lear feels so kind and willing to take care of her.

It's not just friends.

"But at least, I can be your shield in times of danger." She said this sincerely, with an expression as if Lear couldn't talk anymore if he refused.

"Okay," Lear smiled, "then I'll try to keep myself out of danger." ”

"If you were to be wounded, Major Packat would probably kill me, though he always had a good temper。。。。。。。 Have you ever seen when he's angry? ”

Aina thought for a moment, "No, no, I've never seen Noles get angry. ”

"Then he must be very scary to be angry." Lear came to a conclusion.

After saying that, he felt that his time was running out, so he said to Aina, "Then so be it, Aina, I still have some things to do." ”

"We'll see you later."

"yes, I see."

He turned and left, but he hadn't taken two steps before he heard Aina's voice behind him.

"Lear," she whispered, "thank you." ”

Lear smiled back, and walked away.

β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”

As Lear approaches his room, he feels nervous and anxious about seeing Maggie like never before.

This anxiety, to be precise, was a little overwhelmed, but he also knew that he didn't have as much time as he thought, and if he didn't want to keep himself busy, he had better get in quickly.

So he ended up in his room, and sure enough, Maggie stayed in his room as he had guessed.

Seeing Lear come in, Maggie was stunned at first, she didn't expect Lear to come back suddenly, but then she noticed that something was wrong with Lear's expression.

A feeling of wanting to say and then stopping.

"What's wrong, did you forget something?" She smiled slightly, as if she hadn't discovered anything, and had the same conversation as usual.

"No。。。。。。 Well, it's not that I've forgotten something. Lear felt his throat dry, his brain buzzing as if he had been hit by a ram, and his heart was beating almost as fast as after a 100-meter sprint.

He thought that he was mentally prepared to say the next words calmly and calmly, after all, although what he was going to do next was the first time in two lives, it seemed that he was an unexpectedly useless man.

He couldn't help but clear his throat, seeing his embarrassed appearance, Maggie didn't dwell on it more, but chose to divert the topic: "Speaking of which, you just came back just in time, and there are things sent to you from your country." ”

As she spoke, she handed Lear a small box labeled with an express and military label.

"From your home country?" Lear's attention was really distracted, he turned the box around, looked at the details of the label, and to his great surprise, the label actually hung the stamp of the chamberlain serving the Duke of Dekin: "Axis? ”

Lear thought about it, he didn't seem to have any connection with Axis, although it was an important extraterrestrial planet development transit station and mineral base for Zeon, and Alxstein also had power there, after all, when it came to the military industry, he couldn't avoid mining, but when it came to Lear personally, he couldn't remember any connection with Axis.

"It's not work-related," Maggie said with a smile, "Anyway, you can take it apart and take a look." ”

Something mysterious, Lear couldn't help but open the box with curiosity.

Inside was a video file identical to the one he had sent to Serra, as well as a 。。。。。。 What is this?

Lear picked up the 'thing' and looked at it carefully, it was a common red 'omamori' in Japanese culture, but Lear touched it, but he felt that the contents were very strange, it seemed to be a 。。。。。。

。。。。。。 Crucifix?

The surface of the omamori is also indescribably subtle, and the words that were supposed to be kana or kanji for "pray for health" are now embroidered with the English word "have a good health" that makes people laugh and cry.

Extraordinary...... It has the characteristics of the cosmic century.

It's like the kind of local tourist specialty that fools outsiders who don't know anything, but considering that even the Zeon Museum, which is designed to boast of its fame, will buy the world's strange tourism products as antiques, which is actually quite good.

Who sent this?

Lear opened the video that had been sent with the amulet, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, but it was a little unfamiliar to him.

Who is this? Lear thought for two or three seconds, not remembering who she was until the girl in the video began to speak.

Harman Kahn, the sister of his former sentain, Senna Kahn, was a lovely little girl, and Lear was about seven years old。。。。。。 Eight years old? I was still nine years old, and I already knew her.

Well, I don't remember very well, after all, at that time, Lear was bent on expanding his 'sphere of influence' in the school, and waged an arduous struggle with Char, Karma and others in the second grade.

I really can't remember the information of a little girl, after all, he is not the kind of genius who will never forget, but a mortal who will naturally forget what he is not interested in.

However, because of her relationship with her sister Senna, Lear and Haman are not small, and she likes Lear very much, and she doesn't know why.

In Lear's recollection, Harman's face was very blurry, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that Harman had grown into a child who could not be said to be a child.

It should be said that she is already a beautiful girl.

"Greetings, Brother Lear." Harman in the video looks very ladylike, with long hair tied into a double ponytail, but as far as Lear remembers, although she is not a tomboy with a woman's body and a man's heart, she is not a polite type.

Sure enough, even if she maintained that deliberate posture at first, but when she began to speak, the ladylike appearance gradually disappeared, and a warm and slightly noisy way of speaking that made people feel that she was really still a child made Lear not only smile, she talked about what happened after she moved to Axis, talked about the fact that Maharaga was often away from her because of work, talked about the happy or unhappy things in the new school, and said that she was because of Lear- The big brother she knew and liked so much became a hero, something that made her feel proud.

"Brother Lear, you're the idol of all the boys in our school now," she said with a grin, "I got this from them with a snack!" ”

As she spoke, she showed a card of children's toys in her hand, with Lear's head printed on it, and his body, and a stat similar to combat power underneath, which was something that made Lear have a fever on his face.

"Along with this letter, there is also the amulet given to me by the church priest, and it would be nice if you would like to bring it."

"Listen to Daddy, we are about to win, and the battlefield you are on now is the last battle against the Federation," she said, clasping her hands together in a gesture of prayer, "Haman will be here to pray for your martial arts, and I hope you will return safely as soon as possible." ”

She then happily recounted some interesting things from her life, but at the end she told Lear something that was a little concerning: "The officer who came to the house said that I had some special talents, and my father said that he wanted me to serve Zeon and His Majesty the Duke. ”

"I heard I'm going to the moon, that's where you're now, Brother Lear, right? I'm going to leave Dad, but I'll do my best. (Note 1)

"Maybe one day we will have the opportunity to fight together."

"I look forward to seeing you soon."

Then the video was cut off, and Lear was a little annoyed, if he knew that this was the content, he shouldn't have released it in front of Maggie, wasn't this adding difficulty to what he was going to do next?

Lear wasn't an idiot, and Harman's kindness was so obvious that it would be strange for him to turn a blind eye.

He turned his head as if nothing had happened, and met Maggie's gaze, who seemed to look at him with some smile.

Lear quickly lowered his head.

"You've been quite popular lately, big hero." Maggie couldn't help but tease, perhaps with a hint of something else.

There's a hint of flavor that she can't show.

"Ahem。。。。。 Ahem。。。。。。。 Lear pretended to cough and said nonchalantly, "What are you kidding, Maggie, it's just a child, it's just 。。。。。。 It's not even twelve years old, right? ”

Lear wasn't quite sure how old Harman was: "It's just a child's longing for an older person, don't joke weirdly." ”

These words were in Lear's heart, and he didn't think that Harman's kindness to him was love, but that it was a child's longing for a big brother who played with him and seemed to be omnipotent.

After all, Harman is still that young.

"Don't underestimate her," Maggie said with a smile, "The girls are unexpectedly more precocious than you think, and the boys can already feel love when they are still addicted to hero games." ”

"If nothing happens, beware of the great hardships in the future."

Because Maggie herself is like this, although she didn't know anything when she fell in love, she just felt that person was a special existence, and waited until she reacted.

That person has become family.

"Nonsense." Lear slipped Harman's video letter into a drawer, and as for the 'amulet', he hesitated, but couldn't trample on Harman's kindness, and finally stuffed it into the pocket of his driver's suit.

"I'm not talking nonsense," Maggie said with a smile: "Don't you think about it, marry this girl home, of course the main mother must be Miss Serra, but this girl's status is relatively low, and she is also the second daughter, her father is the prince's confidant, it is just right to marry back, and the Zabi family is still the ruler after all." ”

She spoke as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her, and she expressed her opinion to only those who were very close to her.

"That's enough, don't say it." Lear frowned a little unhappily.

"And Miss Aina, too, although she is an only daughter, she also has an older brother who is the head of the family, and it is not impossible for her to marry her to be a side room."

"When his sickly brother dies, the Sakhalin family will naturally become our possession."

"It is regarded as the fulfillment of the master's wish, and a few more lovers can give birth to grandchildren earlier, and the master has long been 。。。。。。。"

"Maggie!" Lear interrupted Maggie loudly, then looked at her angrily.

Maggie, on the other hand, looked back into Lear's eyes and didn't shy away, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Maggie surrendered first, she lowered her head to try to hide her expression, and said softly, "。。。。。。 It's just a suggestion, I'm just putting forward the most reasonable suggestion, Li 。。。。。。 ”

"Young Master."

Then she turned her head and said in a pretended cheerful voice: "If you don't accept it, forget it, by the way, young master, you should go to the battleship and stand by, right?" ”

Seeing Maggie's appearance, Lear couldn't help but feel a sense of distress, if it was in the past, he would only feel unhappy and anxious, but after understanding his own mind, all that was left was severe pain.

Just as Lear was Maggie's first love, Maggie is also Lear's first love.

He never wanted his first love to show such a weeping expression.

It is said that the first love basically did not end well, and hopefully it was just a bad joke.

Fortunately, with Lear's enlightenment coming to an end, some of the past compromises and concerns became less important with the realization that he would involve everything around him.

Lear paused, then walked up to Maggie, who grabbed Maggie's hand and whispered to her, "Maggie, there's something I want to tell you. ”

That's exactly why he's back.

"When this war is over, please marry me."

Hearing this, Maggie suddenly looked up, and Lear could see that although she had no tears, her eyes were reddish, which she would never see in a strong Maggie.

Lear looked at her round eyes, slightly open lips, and looked at the shocked look, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a hint of mischief, after all, such Maggie was very rare in his memory.

"Hmm, what's the matter, won't you agree?" Lear smiled and said, "Sure enough, I should still take out the ring, but now there is really no way, can I compensate you later?" ”

In fact, Lear still has a pair of rings on him, which Maggie gave him to give him the engagement ring between him and Serra, but no matter how much he says, he can't take out the ring.

"What about your answer?" Lear asked softly.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Maggie paused for a moment, and instead of crying of dramatic joy, she replied softly, in a happy tone, "Okay, I'm honored." ”

"Let's get married."

Although he had imagined it, Lear was still infected by the joy of this moment, which he had never thought of, and even gave him the illusion that he was omnipotent at the moment.

Maybe it's not a delusion, but if, like those film and television works, love is a force that can't be rationalized and can't be measured by data, but it's invincible in the world, then it's probably not difficult for Lear to destroy the universe at this moment.

He didn't cheer loudly, but it was as if he had suddenly deflated, and the tension and anxiety that he had suffered from before were completely gone, and he felt a little tired, and a cloudy breath came out of his lungs.

"To be honest, I now have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe," Lear couldn't help but smile and said, "I was still thinking about what to do if I was rejected, and how to get along with you after that, such a thing." ”

"Don't worry about that kind of thing, I want to know," Maggie said softly, "I won't refuse." ”

It's not that it's impossible to refuse, but it's never going to refuse, and the same result is a different mentality.

"Even so, no one can guarantee until they reach a conclusion," Lear said, "and I'm a little nervous." ”

"You're going to have to fight later," Maggie paused for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice, "You shouldn't have told me at this time, you can do whatever you want, why did you choose such a bad time?" ”

She wasn't sure if that would affect Lear, so she couldn't help but say with some concern.

"No, it should be said that it is because of this time that I have come to confess to you," Lear said with a smile, "It is not strange that anything happened on the battlefield, in case I can't come back, wouldn't it be if I haven't spoken yet。。。。。。。 ”

"Don't say anything like that!" Maggie snapped, and Lear was startled, then noticed the nervousness and anger on her face.

Maggie is by no means a theist and doesn't believe in god-like babble, but at the moment she stops Lear's self-cursing curse like a joke.

"If you confessed to me for that reason, then I'd rather never hear what I just said for the rest of my life!" She said sternly, but there was a hint of weakness between her eyebrows.

"Before, too, my heart stopped when I saw you hit by a missile," she kept counting Lear's mistakes, "and before at SIDE4, if you did rush out。。。。。。 ”

She couldn't even think about it: "Why do you keep doing such dangerous things?" ”

"Don't worry, Maggie," Lear couldn't help but take her in his arms, "I didn't think I might die to confess to you, on the contrary." ”

"I confessed to you because I was sure that I would be able to return to you."

"I'm not a suicide volunteer, we have decades, maybe even hundreds of years to be together, and I will never leave you first."

"This is my solemn vow, and I swear that I will never break it."

"So you believe it, right?"

His words made Maggie nod vigorously.

"After this battle, there will definitely be a celebration and a holiday back to our country, and then we will get engaged first," Lear couldn't help but start planning an illusory future like all fools who are indulged in love: "Then after the war is over, although I don't know how long you will have to wait, let's officially get married." ”

He didn't notice Maggie's suddenly stunned expression: "What kind of wedding do you want?" ”

At this moment, Maggie said helplessly, "That's not good, Lear, Miss Sierra is your wife, and we can't get engaged until we marry her." ”

"So 。。。。。。"

"Wait a minute," Lear finally realized that he and Maggie's thoughts were a little subtly mismatched, and he hurriedly interrupted, "Maggie, you misunderstood. ”

"What?" Maggie said blankly.

"When I say get married, I mean to take you as a wife." Lear said, staring into Maggie's eyes.

"That's right。。。。。。" Maggie's voice grew lower, and she could tell that something seemed wrong.

Lear took a deep breath and said, "It's not a side room, there's no other girl, I'm talking about wanting you to be my only wife." ”

"Can you take it?"

The anxiety and panic of being rejected came back to my heart.

"So 。。。。。。" Maggie looked at Lear seriously and said, "What about Miss Serra?" ”

"I'll solemnly refuse, I'll go talk to Daddy and cancel our engagement," Lear said, grabbing Maggie's hand, "It's enough for me to have you alone, and I don't need anyone else." ”

"As long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Maggie looked at Lear for a moment, then suddenly withdrew her hand from his hand, and the sudden emptiness of her palm made Lear feel unreal.

Maggie said softly, coldly, and hatefully, "Why don't you just understand? ”

"I'm not even from a civilian background, although the lord regards me as his own, but after all, I am Alxstein's subordinate," she closed her eyes in pain, and said with some uncontrollable feelings: "Why do you think I endured the distress to watch you with other girls?" ”

"I can't be your wife, don't you understand it now?"

"Master Alkerstein!" She deliberately used an honorific title that she barely used, and this sense of alienation made Lear's face stiffen.

He hurriedly replied, "What a person, why do you think so much of yourself, to me, you are more important than any other girl!" ”

Lear's hurried defense was not exchanged for Maggie's response, and she said softly, "Lear, I have never felt inferior, no matter who I am, I feel that I am at least equal in personality with them. ”

And this is exactly what you taught me, for me, you are the only light in those dark days, the parents who gave birth to me and the old man who raised me can't compare, and I have become the light of people.

"But that's the rule, it's the Zeon's rule, and as long as you're a member of Zeon, Lear, you can't disobey it," Maggie said firmly, "You won't be unclear about what happens if you disobey this rule, if that's the case。。。。。。 ”

"I'd rather disappear in front of you forever."

She said so resolutely: "Young Master Alkestein, please allow me to solemnly refuse your marriage proposal. ”

Maggie had to say this, she looked at Lear's surprised expression, felt the pain in her heart as if it were torn, and then resolutely and unconfusedly said the words of refusal.

She is happy with Lear's intentions, but for the sake of his future, she can't accept it.

It's not that Maggie doesn't love him, but it's because she loves him that she made this decision, because she knows that the so-called love is not an instantaneous brilliant firework.

She also doesn't allow Lear to become a burning, a firework that no one cares about.

But Lear also had his own thoughts, and he tried to grab Maggie's hand again, but she dodged him, and he had to withdraw his hand in a huff: "Zeon's rules? Do you think I'd care about that kind of thing? ”

"Maggie, you should know what I'm doing, these, the so-called superior or inferior rules that divide people into unequal personalities with so-called differences in blood and wealth, are what I want to eradicate at the risk of my life."

"I don't care about the so-called rules at all." He said almost through gritted teeth.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ In that case, please wait until you already have the power to break the rules," Maggie said sadly, and she couldn't help but caress Lear's cheek: "If you don't have that ability, don't challenge it, it's a unconscionable move, you should know it yourself, right?" ”

"Besides, it would be unwise to choose me for the sake of your personal development, as Miss Sierra is the only heir to the House of Mars, and she 。。。。。。 is the one who will be more helpful to you! ”

"I don't care about that!"

"But I care," Maggie said softly, "I want you to be better, and I care more about that than you do." ”

She said sadly, "This is the only thing I can't help you no matter how hard I try. ”

If possible, of course, she would like to meet Lear in another way, in another capacity that is a good match for Alkestein, but the frustrating truth is that there is indeed a congenital gap between people that cannot be bridged no matter how hard they try.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Lear was a little depressed, a little angry, and full of destructive impulses to ask, "Isn't it okay anyway?" ”

Maggie wanted to say no, but she couldn't.

"Please let me think again."

She gave an ambiguous answer.

"I see。。。。。。" Lear took a deep breath, and just then, the sound of the radio echoing throughout the Granada base began.

"Attention all combatants, attention to all combatants!"

"Our reconnaissance unit has confirmed the movement of the Federal fleet, all combatants, please return to combat positions!"

"Repeat, all combatants, please return to combat positions!!"

"Our army is about to leave!"

"For the sake of victory, Zeon demands that everyone do their duty, Sieg Zeon!!"

β€œβ€œβ€œSieg Zeon!!!!!” ””

Even in the soundproofed officer's cabin, the cheers outside the door as if everyone were going crazy were still audible.

It was time to go, and Lear walked towards the door in a bit of a daze, feeling as heavy as he had finished a triathlon.

Before leaving, he said to Maggie without looking back, "Maggie, what I want to tell you is that no matter what decision you make, my decision will not change. ”

Like Maggie's resoluteness, this sentence carries a similar, if not more significant, uncompromising will.

Note 1: The location of the Flanagon Agency is in the neutral satellite group SIDE6, but it will not be officially established until March, so the planning stage should be in Granada, the lunar city of Cecilia's lair.

In addition, Harman, as the cover, is the heroine of the author's smile, and finally gives her a chance to appear.

Note 2: I wrote the 11,000-word super large chapter, which I wrote for two days to finish, so the interlude of the Mid-Autumn Festival promise can be regarded as a fulfillment here, huh.

I struggled for two days, and I was really refreshed after writing, thanks to the book friends who pushed me when I was hesitant, oops, people really still have friends.
