Chapter 395
FRENCH Royal ARMY HEADQUARTERS
Entering this wooden base, Gen made an anxious march toward his Captain's office .
Occasionally, he glances at the offices he passes by, checking out what was the other activity goes on . It seems everyone is occupied lately .
All the higher rank officials were discussing methods: on how to defend their borders, water territory, and this very nation . Not mentioning, the New France the French Naval discovered, now began inhabiting that island .
In what he heard about, it was a vast land, bigger than France and this continent . But a war between the British Army would possibly erupt soon, claiming wider sovereignty, and the king won't back down but will defend the Newfoundland whatever it cost .
Naval Captain Klein Williams brought more soldiers and weapons to assemble once they arrive that land . The Williams twins are remarkable Royal soldiers that brought success battle to this nation .
Gene now takes the stairs toward his captain's office on the third floor . May, he still has a lower rank, but he is part of the French Monarchy . He holds an important stance in the Royal family .
Inside a particular room, Carlisle was tidying up a few things he needed for the war . He picks up the map in his drawer then places them inside his small suitcase, prepared where he stores his stuff against wetting them accidentally or naturally during his ride toward their northern border .
He takes a break and stood near his office window and looked outside . His chest was heavier to leave like this . But he was pressed between his sworn duty and his private matters . However, he cannot abandon his country .
Lost in his thoughts, a light knock on his office door, then Gene steps inside . He bowed before he steps forward and halted in front of his table . He seated on his chair and gestured Gene to take a seat as well .
"Thank you, Captain," he shows gratitude, and then take a sit on the chair place by the table .
"Gen, how was it?" Carlisle asked anxiously . He badly wanted to know what was Marivella's response .
"Captain, I am sorry, but I was not able to speak with, Miss Chen . "
"Why? Is she left home?" he guessed .
"Yes, captain, with Miss, um…"
His tongue almost slipped out, mentioning Madison's name . It was a secret, between him and Doctor Charles who only knew about the people from the future .
"I mean, she went home and Miss Carlene accompanied her . But Captain, the Korean soldier, and the Prince were waiting secretly inside Chen's residence . Miss Chen force to come as her family held by him," Gene reported .
"What are you saying? He is forcing them to come with him?"
"It looks like that way . The prince suddenly changed the day of their voyage . "
"What was Charles and the other's proposes about this? So much had happened, so now we need to change our plan . On top of this, I have to leave . I cannot help them to take place in our plans," he stated worriedly . He felt hopeless that nothing he could do right now . Besides, he cannot afford to wield a conflict between this Prince .
"Captain, this is the message from Doctor Charles and the others . We will stick to the plans of kidnapping Marivella to hide her . You don't have to worry, and so, just go . Leave everything to us . "
"That is their message for you . "
Carlisle heaves a melancholy sighed . It may too easy to say it, but his concerns have been split into two .
"I see . . . " he responded lazily . "But, do they meant to help with nothing in return? I mean, those siblings: Henry, Edward, and Carlene?"
"Don't worry, Captain Charles . They were genuine in helping Miss Chen . They don't want any compensation . "
"Then, I will leave you behind to help them out . "
"Understood, Captain . Please, come back alive . "
He meets Gene's sincere gaze . He is a very loyal person, who he becomes his valuable friend . He always prayed to meet him again, in the next life if ever they will grant one . He's hoping, by then, they both have a better life and in better circumstances than in this life .
If his dream were true; they were seated in a foreign place in a foreign room, he is tossing glass with Gene, big smile plastering on his face wearing different clothes . Maybe, that was a modern time, the future .
"Gene, I will rise even from the dead," he quoted meaningfully .
Gen smiled . 'Yes, you did . Not only that, but you also traveled to the past to support yourself to be with your lover . '
Carlisle notices how Gen smiled at him . "Do you have something in your mind, Gen?"
"Ah, no Captain! I was just thinking, later you come back, could we have a glass of ale?"
"My— Can You Read My Mind? I love that idea, Gene . Let's hit a tavern and share a drink . "
Gene nodded happily, and then went on .
"Captain, we needed more people to commend the plan . "
