Chapter 233: Joining the Army
A few days later, Yukina came to the top of the main hall and calmly watched the king bow deeply.
"The king, Prit's daughter Yukina applied to join the army to inherit her father's mantle. ”
The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly, and the only thing that didn't exist was approval. The fact that a woman joined the army was unprecedented in the history of the Delores Empire, and if it was agreed, it would be a precedent.
The king glanced at Adam and Cronin, Adam nodded, and Cronin smiled and said: "Why not, Miss Yukina's bravery is second only to General Plit, and as a descendant of General Plit, she has a good prestige, and most importantly, General Plitter has been by-" Cronin's tone paused, and Yu Guang glanced at Yukina as if he had some scruples about his feelings, and did not continue, "It's reasonable, it's not impossible." ”
Yukina glanced at Cronin gratefully, and Cronin smiled at Yukina and said that she didn't care.
With Cronin's proposal, what opinions can other people have, they all agreed, and this important position was decided in such a child's play.
"Wait a minute, Cronin, no matter how prestigious she is, after all, she is just a woman, even if she has fought with the army, she is not a soldier, she has neither a real name nor military merits, so it will be difficult for Miss Yukina to convince the public. "Adam rarely objected to Cronin.
Everyone was shocked, could it be that the direction of the wind had changed? The mouths all agreed for a while, and they listened to it for a while, and the best choice when they did not see the situation clearly was to wait and see the changes.
Cronin seemed to feel a little surprised and looked at Edem, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that it is best to need a respected assistant to make Yukina's position sit firmly, Satsuma, what do you think?" This person has been in the army for thirty years, although he is only a civilian official, but the weight of his words is not to be underestimated even if it is the military academy. ”
"So... That's it. Edem looked at Cronin for a moment, then closed his eyes, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the wind had not changed in any direction.
Only Adem, Cronin, and Wang were left in the room.
Edam looked at Cronin with a calm face and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Cronin stretched and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"
"You and I both understand the reason for Pulit's death, after all, his friend is dead, he is alive and has military power and prestige, once he ascends to the heights, the stability of this country will be in danger, in order to cover up the truth, shouldn't you let Yukina's family not ask about political affairs, not about the military, what is your purpose? I said, if you do something that is not good for the Delores Empire······"
"Rest assured. Cronin interrupted Adium, "How could I do something harmful to the Empire? The king saw Cronin wink at himself, first stunned, then nodded.
"The reason why I let Yukina become a general is for the victory of this battle, Yukina has a good talent in martial arts and military deduction, and has been exposed to Pulit since she was a child, although she has just come of age, she already has the demeanor of a general. Cronin told the story, Adam couldn't help but nod when he heard it, in fact, that's the case, but Adem never believed in Cronin's every decision, but it didn't endanger the safety of the empire, so he let it go, after all, his lifeblood was in the hands of the other party.
Once the matter of Yukina becoming a general was decided, it caused a national sensation, but most of the opponents were those who did not know Yukina on the border, and everyone in Birk City offered sincere blessings to Yukina, and of course, Valen and Helena did the same.
Valen and Helena had a wedding ceremony after graduation, Valen was handsomely dressed, Helena was dressed softly, and the talented woman was envious of others, but there was always a trace of sadness in Valen's happy expression, and there was always one less person in the seat of her relatives, and this time the banquet where Yukina became a female general was also the same.
Yukina also didn't want to hold a banquet, but this process, where did Yukina have that mind before her father's bones were cold, and sat in the room with Helena and Valen to talk about the interesting things of the recent days, and time passed a lot, but for a long time, they fell into a deep silence, and Valen and Yukina found that their topic could never be separated from Charles, even if they had been away for almost half a year now, they were still thinking about Charles.
"On the battlefield, will you meet Charles?" said Valenmore, holding the rim of his glass in a low voice, looking at the wine in the glass, as if asking, but not seeming to be.
"Probably not, how could Charles participate in the war of the Cagabau Empire, if Charles can forget the past so quickly, is Charles still Charles. Yukina smiled with a memory of what she had done with Charles, no matter what she liked or hated, Charles could remember it clearly, and she didn't say anything.
"Hehe, let's change the subject, Helena, how can you still come to the banquet when you are pregnant, you must know that drinking alcohol is not good for children. Yukina didn't want to talk about it anymore, and her heart was filled with sadness, and she asked Helena in disgust.
Helena was silent between the two for a long time, and she couldn't interject herself on Charles's topic and could only drink quietly, listening to Yukina's words, Helena smiled and put down the wine glass in her hand and said: "It's okay, the frost flower wine still has a trace of medicinal effect, and the doctor in the hospital also recommended me to drink it, but only in small amounts." ”
"Yes. Yukina looked at Helena's slightly bulging abdomen, and her eyes gradually became a little curious, "Can I touch it?"
"Of course. ”
Yukina gently put her hand on Helena's belly, gently stroked it, and her expression became wonderful, with surprise, doubt, and even fear, and said softly: "This is really a very magical feeling, this is where we once existed." ”
"yes, this is where we used to live. ”
Helena stroked her belly slightly, with a doting smile on her face, no more innocent and lively, more mature, Yukina felt very familiar when she saw this smile, it was her mother's smile.
When the feast was over, Helena returned to her home, and it was dark in the living room, and Alyssa sat quietly in her seat, motionless, without the need to find the light, for it was all darkness before her, and those who waited would never return.
"Mother, I'm going to the front. ”
Yukina's words finally made Alyssa regain her senses after a long absence, watching Yukina burst into tears and shaking her head non-stop: "Yukina, don't let me die again, okay?" (To be continued.) )
