"You can actually calm down a little. At least it's over for now."
Seeing that Aslan still couldn't recover from the shock, Durandal couldn't help but expressed relief.
At this time, Aslan was already stunned by the news of the nuclear bomb, so he had no choice but to sit down as he was told.
He didn't even notice Noel left the conference room.
"Of course, we didn't expect this situation beforehand, but when it actually happened, we were still shocked. We didn't expect that they would force a war like this, and launch a nuclear bomb without saying a word..."
Durandal replied bitterly.
Aslan listened, feeling as if his consciousness was paralyzed.
"It is unreasonable enough to start a war under such circumstances, and coupled with this kind of behavior...such a war is simply outrageous."
Aslan nodded as if led.
This is one-sided violence.
But isn’t that what war is all about?
There is no such thing as a reasonable and just war in the world.
Even if there is, it is only cleverly disguised by one of the parties in the war - or both sides.
"——The United Nations has temporarily withdrawn its troops, but I don't think they will give up..."
Durandal slowly thought about each sentence, as if he was trying to figure out some conclusion.
"Our people's morale has been greatly disturbed this time. Although we have blocked it, we are once again facing the threat of nuclear bombs..."
These words pierced Aslan's heart.
Why was this murderous act carried out? This is the voice of the victims of the fall of Julius 7.
The people who suffered the pain unanimously resented those who inflicted the pain.
Now, the citizens of the PLANT colony will cry out in dissatisfaction - why did they do this?
"The problem is about to begin now..."
Listening to Durandal's words mixed with sighs, Aslan finally raised his head uncontrollably.
"Speaker, then...!"
The other party looked at him, as if he remembered his existence again.
Aslan struggled to find the right words: "So...after this attack on the colony...and the declaration of war...how are you going to deal with it?"
The moment of urgency even caused Aslan to pause when he spoke.
Seeing the look of help on Aslan's face, Durandal sighed deeply: "If we decide to retaliate because of this, then the world will turn into a quagmire-like battlefield... I understand this truth, of course. I don’t want this to happen either…”
After hearing this, Aslan couldn't help but feel silently moved in his heart.
This person really does understand.
He worries as much as he does that the world will sink into the mire abyss.
At this moment, dreamlike anticipation suddenly shone in Aslan's heart.
But Durandal's next words directly shattered it.
"-It's just that the situation can't continue to be concealed. More and more people will know about it, and it will be hard to get angry - they will definitely not be willing to forgive this kind of behavior, and as the Speaker, I can't choose to turn a blind eye."
Under Durandal's gaze, Aslan could not say a word.
"The situation has evolved like the previous war. How can I stop it? Nuclear bombs have once again threatened our lives!"
What Durandal said was the unmitigated truth.
Aslan can understand that after all, no one is willing to let go of his anger.
Just as the earth suffered the disaster of Junius, do you want to tell them that war is not feasible and will bring more pain and loss of life?
Yeah, you didn't lose anything important in this disaster, so you can be generous.
But what about those who have lost their loved ones, their homes, their jobs, and everything?
That's not just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.
The fall of Junius directly caused the death of nearly 10 million people in the United Earth, and nearly 1 billion people were affected to varying degrees.
You must know that among the major forces on the earth, the places with the highest population density are almost all coastal cities, and the tsunami caused by the fall of Junius wiped out almost all coastal areas on the earth.
"But... please try to stop it! Speaker...!"
Seeing a hint of indifference in the speaker's expression, Aslan's heart returned to two years ago.
At that time, he went to the National Defense Headquarters alone to try to change the mind of his father, who was the speaker of the House of Representatives. Will he be the same as he was then, in the end still unable to make the other party understand his feelings?
Summoning some frustration, Aslan revealed his innermost thoughts.
"If we are only dominated by anger and hatred, and just kill each other blindly, that won't work! If this continues... the whole world will fall into a war where no one will benefit. Please, we must prevent this consequence. ...!"
"Alex..."
"I...I am Aslan Sara!"
Interrupting Durandal's consolation, Aslan's thoughts finally became uncontrollable.
"He is the son of Patrick Sala, the man who two years ago expanded the war to the point where it was beyond control and even spread a stupid sense of hatred around the world!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Aslan suddenly felt the embankment in his heart burst.
The dark thoughts that have been entangled in my heart for a long time are surging and seeking catharsis.
"I believe what my father said is right! I went to the battlefield to take away the lives of my enemies, and fought with my friends... Even when I sensed something was wrong, I didn't do anything to stop me. As a result, I lost everything...!"
All the painful lessons from the past were lingering in his mind.
The death of his friends, the hatred caused by the disappearance of those lives, the murderous intention towards Kira——
Cagalli cried and questioned.
Lux's soul torture.
cried Aslan in annoyance.
It was his father who caused this situation, and he was the culprit of all these tragedies.
"...But! There are still people who are manipulated by my father's remarks, and then...let the result evolve to this point...!"
"We must never let everything happen again..."
Aslan couldn't say any more, he just panted excitedly.
As if tired after an all-out sprint, he leaned back on the chair and turned his face away in pain.
After a moment of silence.
Durandal said calmly: "I heard Thalia and the others said that the prisoners in Julius No. 7..."
Aslan's body froze slightly, but he heard Durandal's voice full of care.
"It seems that it caused you to suffer again..."
"No, it won't. On the contrary, I think it would be better to know,"
Aslan replied quickly as if rejecting his sympathy: "Otherwise I will be kept in the dark again and never understand the truth..."
"Maybe you misunderstood me Aslan. In fact, in my opinion, you don't need to feel guilty for their actions."
Durandal leaned forward and comforted in a deep voice: "You have a completely negative prejudice against Speaker Sarah, maybe it is a helpless result..."
Aslan couldn't help but look at Durandal.
Does he mean that his father is not wrong?
But he was clearly the one who denied his father's actions after the war!
What my father did was wrong. A man who tried to destroy all life on earth. How could his actions be reasonable?
However, Durandal's words seemed to move Aslan's stubborn heart.
"It's just that as far as Speaker Sara is concerned, he wasn't that bellicose at the beginning, was he? Maybe his approach was a bit extreme, but... tracing back to the source, all his actions were also based on protecting the colony. ', protect us, in order to create a better world."
Aslan began to struggle.
This is not wrong... My father just chose the path he thought was right and worked hard.
At least he still loves his country deeply and is willing to protect it, and is willing to do anything for it.
At least Aslan would not choose to question this aspect of his deep love for his country.
"——Many people are like this. Although they have the intention, they end up making wrong decisions. And those wrong words or thoughts may not be conveyed completely and accurately, because the listeners also use their own thoughts. and concepts to interpret those messages!”
"speaker……"
Aslan then understood that Durandal was trying to comfort himself. He was a little frustrated for a moment and wanted to decline his kindness. However, he saw that Durandal's attitude was extremely calm and he continued to analyze to him:
"The prisoners at Junius 7 just used Speaker Sara's words to normalize their motives. They believed they had done nothing wrong, because in their minds, Speaker Sara might have said so. .”
Aslan had never thought about this matter from this perspective, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide for a moment, listening in rapt attention.
"So, how can you be affected by that kind of remarks? They are them, Speaker Sarah is Speaker Sarah - and you are you. No matter whose son you are, you are a person with the ability to think independently. individual."
For a time, these words gradually warmed Aslan's heart.
That's right... his father is his father, and he is himself, so Aslan rejected his father's approach and chose to embark on the path of disobeying his father.
I know this intellectually, but I have never accepted it emotionally.
"Don't take that kind of thing as a debt. You owe nothing to anyone."
Aslan listened wholeheartedly and seriously accepted what the other party said.
Durandal suddenly smiled and said: "Look, didn't you come all the way here to prevent the war from happening again? That's enough. Don't take all the mistakes on yourself."
Aslan lowered his head like a child, no longer as impulsive as before.
Looking back, I was indeed filled with a sense of guilt, so I lost my cool and kept worrying. If I had this mentality, no matter what I did, it was just to make up for my uneasy conscience.
Now is not the time to be impulsive because of personal concerns.
"Having said that, I'm very happy that you can come here like this today."
As if to cheer up Aslan's spirit, Durandal smiled sincerely.
"No, that's..."
"As long as everyone has this intention, we will be able to save the world. Others may laugh at me as a dreamer, but this is indeed my belief. If humans lose their dreams, humans will never be able to move forward."
Hearing this, Aslan couldn't help but feel a heat in his chest.
In this way, I and my friends are also dreamers.
As expected, the Speaker had the same philosophy as them.
Durandal's soft expression showed determination: "So, for this belief, we must overcome the difficulties in front of us..."
Aslan seemed to feel that he had received some kind of reward. The ending of the day when I broke up with my father two years ago seems to have been rewritten at this moment.
He sat quietly, but felt an untimely sense of satisfaction.
Button——
It was also at this time that there was a sound from the door of the conference room.
Under Aslan's gaze, a gloomy-looking man in a red uniform walked in.
"Noel? You-"
Looking at Noel who was wearing military uniform again, Aslan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Can you change the color for me?"
Noel ignored Aslan's surprise and looked at Durandal.
"Letting you return to the army and become a red coat is the limit of what I can do now. After all, in the current situation, I can't stimulate the Earth United too much. Please forgive me for this, but I believe that with your ability , you will be wearing white clothes again soon."
Durandal explained with a smile.
"Yes, thank you very much for your trust."
Noel emphasized the word trust with great emphasis.
Durandal can't let himself return to white?
If it were someone else, Noel could barely believe it, but Durandal——
However, Noel had actually expected this situation, or in other words, Lux had expected it.
Whether it is due to consideration of the situation or control of the rights in hand.
It is impossible for Noel to become a white man.
Durandal really needs Noel's reputation among the Sara faction and his powerful MS combat capabilities.
But at the same time, because Noel and Lux are very close, Durandal will not let Noel exist.
At least he will suppress Noel to a certain extent, and it is impossible for Noel to have the rights he had in South America.
All in all, Noel can become a weapon, but the prerequisite is to ensure that the weapon will not backfire on him.
"I have always trusted your abilities."
Durandal replied with a smile as if he didn't hear the implication of Noel's words.
"hehe--"
Noel laughed and said nothing more.
In fact, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction. After all, he had yelled at Yitzhak not long ago that dogs don't even wear red, but the result——
He could already predict Yitzhak's expression when he heard the news.
Hiss - my balls hurt!
Aslan stood aside and felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat unexpected.
Except Noel regained his military status.
Are Noel and Speaker Durandal so familiar?
Just when Aslan was about to say something.
A charming figure suddenly appeared on the rear screen.
"I am Lux Klein, please calm down and listen to me."
Aslan forgot his words for a moment and just stared at the girl on the screen.
Noel also looked over subconsciously. From the perspective of plastic surgery alone, the case in front of him can indeed be said to be very successful.
At least he didn't see any difference between real and fake Lux.
The only difference may be the temperament and charm of both parties.
Seeing the different expressions on the two of them, Durandal smiled lightly and said nothing.
"The recent Junius 7 incident, the joint Earth declaration of war derived from it, and yesterday's attack are all extremely distressing things. Once again, I was suddenly attacked by a nuclear bomb. I am the same as you all. are shocked and angry.”
Aslan didn't know the true identity of Lux in front of him for the time being, but he still felt something was wrong.
There is no reason, I just feel this way.
"——However, I hereby ask you to calm down and stay rational at this moment."
Shaking her pink hair, the girl loudly appealed to the people, just like she did on the underground radio station after being wanted by Patrick for treason during the previous war.
only--
"Being dominated by anger and shouting hate will lead to another war."
——No, this is not Lux.
Because Lux wouldn't say such a thing.
After Aslan was sure, he was startled and subconsciously looked at Noel, who was staring at the screen seriously.
I don’t know if he found out about this——
However, soon, Aslan thought of another crucial place.
If the Lux in front of me is fake, then——
Thinking of this, Aslan quickly looked at Durandal.
Facing Aslan's gaze, Durandal withdrew his gaze from Noel, smiled helplessly and did not answer.
"In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, the Supreme Council is doing its best to improve everything."
"The Parliament always advocates peace, and it still insists on seeking a more ideal path and never gives up. Therefore, I implore you to believe in them. I also believe in the representative of the Parliament, Speaker Durandal... At this moment, let us calm down. …”
The girl's speech, which sounded like an election platform, didn't even end.
Durandal said as if he was mocking himself: "You can laugh if you want, it doesn't matter."
Aslan looked at Durandal speechlessly, but Durandal did not avoid it, just smiled slightly: "Of course you know, right?"
"ah……"
Aslan looked at the TV again.
So this person who looks exactly like Lux is really not Lux——
"It's really embarrassing to say that I have to rely on such a little trick. However, I am also helpless. Her influence cannot be underestimated. Among the people, she is even much greater than me."
After the war, Lux's popularity remained unabated, especially after Patrick Sala was labeled a war criminal.
Her image, which had always advocated peace and went to the battlefield for this purpose, immediately increased, and more and more people fell in love with her charisma.
Indeed, people are more willing to listen to the words of singer Lux than to listen to a politician speaking out.
But when politicians just use a fake Lux to deceive the people?
"...I think it's a joke too, but I still need to use her power now."
Durandal looked at the confused Aslan: "At the same time, it's just like I need your and Noel's strength."
"Me and Noel?"
Aslan was confused for a moment and forgot that he had ever distrusted him.
Durandal smiled slightly, walked out of the table and walked towards the door: "Come with me to have a look."
As if overwhelmed by his momentum, Aslan agreed.
As for Noel——
"This fake waist is a little too thin, and the bones seem a little too big..."
