Chapter 128: The Long 'Knife' Unsheathed (I)

After the meeting, Cecilia looked at Robin, who was still discussing other matters with Jarvis in the chamber, and left alone and returned to her room. {}

Changing into loose and comfortable pajamas, Cecilia lay on her back on the large fluffy bed, staring at the silver ceiling in a silent daze.

Having just returned from a long two-month patrol and attending such an important meeting that had taken so long, Cecilia was already emaciated. However, recalling Robin's impassioned speech in the meeting and Martina's calm and calm posture, Cecilia felt a sense of distress for no reason, and she couldn't let herself sleep peacefully.

Truth be told, Robin's statement in this meeting made Cecilia feel a strong crisis. During this meeting, Robin bluntly announced to everyone his decision to appoint Martina as the executive of the autonomous region. Moreover, most of the subsequent administrative plans were directly related to Martina, thus further cementing Martina's position in the fleet.

From the fleet's point of view, Robin's decision is undoubtedly extremely wise. With Martina's addition, the Autonomous Region will become more secure, all aspects of the fleet will be further strengthened, and even the wonderful blueprint described by Robin is just around the corner.

But in the face of all this, Cecilia could not be happy, she seemed to be caught in a contradiction that could never be resolved.

As a republican **, as a member of the fleet. Cecilia understands Martina's importance and why Robin brought her back. But as a woman, as Robin's partner, Cecilia was jealous that such a good woman appeared by Robin's side.

No woman would gladly accept a man who shares herself with another woman, and even now, when the concept of marriage is almost gone, Cecilia still retains the same exclusive desire for love as any other woman.

Cecilia, the name means blind person in Latin, and Cecilia does have an almost blind attachment to love.

In this space age, where it is possible to be separated from your partner for hundreds of millions of kilometers at any time and anywhere, people have long had no extravagant hopes for marriage. In the Confederation, people may also retain the institution of marriage for political purposes or for some other reason. But in the republic, the well-defined welfare system makes it unnecessary for men and women to secure their interests through marriage. People are together because of pure love, and if love disappears, there will be no nostalgic separation, and even if children have been born, the children of the republic will be raised by the academy of increasing ranks. Therefore, in this context, Cecilia and Robin were able to maintain their love for seven years, which is already an incredible miracle in the eyes of others.

But now, Cecilia feels that the long-distance run is finally coming to an end. She didn't have the confidence to banish Martina completely from Robin's sight, and she couldn't accept that there was another woman lying next to Robin.

"Is my view of love still a girl's fairy tale after all?" Wiping the corners of her eyes sourly, Cecilia buried her face in the pillow.

But just as she was about to cry, Robin's tired voice suddenly sounded in the communication in her room.

"May I come in?"

"Robin?" Cecilia sat up suddenly, hurriedly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and ran to open the door for Robin.

Opening the automatic door of the room, Robin held two plates of delicate desserts and appeared in Cecilia's eyes.

"Robin, you ......" Cecilia stared blankly at Robin and the dessert in his hand.

"It's your birthday, so when I came back from the Northern Star Field, I bought two desserts of your choice. Luckily, you actually came back today, and I finally got all the work done by 12 o'clock......"

"Birthday?"

Cecilia looked back at the timer in her room and realized that November 15 was indeed her birthday, and that there was less than a minute left before the clock jumped to November 16.

Closing the automatic door of the room, Robin casually put the dessert on the low table at hand, and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of Cecilia's eyes with his hand: "I'm sorry, in these twenty-four hours, I only left one minute for you." ”

"Actually...... Actually......"

Cecilia tried to explain that she had forgotten that it was her birthday, but Robin didn't give her a chance to explain, and he used a small silver spoon to scoop a spoonful of artificial cream from the dessert and put it into Cecilia's mouth before the time jumped to the 16th.

Gazing softly into Cecilia's eyes, Robin smiled and whispered, "I hope it's sweet." ”

"Robin, I'm ......" felt the heat in Robin's gaze, Cecilia felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the intense vertigo and rapid heartbeat almost made her breathless.

"I love you, Cecilia." Licking the remaining cream from the corners of Cecilia's mouth with the tip of her tongue, Robin kissed Cecilia's moist lips hard. With almost wild fervor, he carried Cecilia to the low table and unbuttoned the back of Cecilia's pajamas.

"I love you too, even if it's just one minute in a day, I'm willing to give everything......"

Cecilia melted away by Robin's love, and she whispered in Robin's ear over and over again in a sultry pant. At this moment, Robin's love full of leaks has completely filled her empty and wounded heart, even if she knows that Robin will leave silently when she sleeps, she is not willing to give up this moment's short and sweet happiness......

Meanwhile, in another room diagonally across from Cecilia's room, a lonely Martina curled up by the door with her knees folded, staring silently at the bloody shirt in her hand as if unconscious.

Leaving the conference hall with Robin, she watched Robin walk into Cecilia's room with two plates of desserts, and at that moment, she wanted to hold Robin, but she didn't say anything after all, just smiled and said goodnight to Robin before walking into her room alone.

From losing everything to her determination to follow Robin to a completely unfamiliar place, Martina struggles along the way. After arriving here, she was immediately aware of Cecilia's wariness and Afra's hostile gaze, and even during the meeting where Robin announced her status, Martina endured countless suspicions and distrust.

All this was so foreign to Martina, and her fragile mind could hardly bear the weight of such a weight, but she finally gritted her teeth and kept a smile until the end.

Is it worth it?

To many people, it may seem like a fool to give everything for someone who doesn't love them. However, looking at the bloody dress in her hand and recalling the thrilling experience between herself and Robin, Martina never regretted even watching Robin walk into another woman's room.

Unlike Cecilia, who has not experienced many ups and downs, Martina, although she has had an enviable and wonderful childhood, has experienced ups and downs that others cannot experience in their lives.

From a wealthy daughter born with a golden key to a weak girl who was slaughtered after losing her father. During this time, Martina witnessed too much of the evils of the world. However, in this black memory, the only remaining light is always preserved.

Robin, the name has a completely different meaning to Martina. She couldn't imagine what she would be like now without Robin.
