Chapter 44: The Sword of the Heavens
0
In terms of conclusion, the Federation and the Orb Union government in exile didn’t come to an agreement. It can be easily seen from Scirocco’s annoyed face.
0
Ade guessed, Kira has Cagalli, and Cagalli has a strong nature and cannot accept the terms offered by the Federation. As for what conditions caused the conversation to fall apart so quickly, it might be the puppet government Lacus had speculated about earlier. Then he told Lacus about his conclusion.
0
“You’re an NT?!” Lacus was shocked. It was very rare for this expression to appear on her face, but that wasn’t the point now, right?
0
“Didn’t I say that?”
0
“What was I doing before …” Lacus held her forehead with her hand and let out a long sigh, deliberately talking to herself in a voice that Ade could hear, “Fortunately, the current course is the right one. “
0
I must not say anything at this time, or I will fall into her trap.
0
“Major Scirocco didn’t get consensus with both Commodore Yamato and Miss Athha.” Lacus blinked at Ade, “So his only hope is me?”
0
As if to validate her words, Aker knocked on the door with a twisted look, “Dr. Adrien, as much as I hate to say it, Major Scirocco would like to talk to you and Miss Clyne.”
0
The three arrived at the conference room, and Scirocco was already waiting inside. He must have just found out that the NT in the base was Adrien Lingus himself, and gave Ade an undisguised look of “so it’s you!”. Behind him stood several officers, one of them looked particularly conspicuous. Judging from his shoulder patch, he should be a captain … could he be Yazan Gable?
0
Scirocco apparently had no intention of explaining, but simply watched Ade and Lacus sat down opposite him. Graham was in no position to engage in such a conversation, so he saluted Scirocco and went out.
0
Scirocco’s consciousness was dank, cold, and inexplicably oily to Ade’s perception, so uncomfortable that he wanted to hit his face immediately. Amuro also said he did not like Scirocco, now Ade understands what he means. But this guy is said to be good with women? Ade thought it incomprehensible.
0
“Dr. Lingus, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Scirocco greeted with a leathery smile, “In fact, this matter has little to do with you, but, out of courtesy, the military department still asked me to let you know that we will take Miss Clyne away.”
0
There was not much problem with his statement. Lacus was now without human rights as a defector from a warring enemy country. Because of her status and beauty, she was instead more of a sought-after good, and Scirocco was now fighting Ade for the right to own this good. In this case, Lacus barely even has the right to speak, and she understands that. The end result depends on how tough each of the Federation and Ade is. Ade is a Lunar person and doesn’t need to care about the Federation’s reaction, which is why Lacus is counting on Ade to bail her out.
0
Scirocco represents the entire Federation top brass, and that’s where his confidence is from. Ade’s own identity has a little role here, but don’t forget that he has a strong homeland behind him.
0
“Major Scirocco, right? I’m just a researcher, I don’t know politics. This woman, who I brought out of ZAFT at the risk of my life, is a trophy of mine. If the Federation wants to take her away, they are taking my thing from me, and you know the consequences.” Ade grabbed Lacus’s hand and put it on the table, “I’m done talking, who’s for it and who’s against it?”
0
Scirocco froze for a moment, suddenly showing a fascinated smile, and applauded, “Good, good. It seems that our army’s intelligence work still has some problems, the staff’s even told me that Dr. Lingus is a very good talking weak man, what a great fallacy. But, since you are rescued by us, it’s not good to let me leave with empty hands, right? Or doctor, are you looking down on me?”
0
“We can settle this account when we return to Anaheim, and I will not forget to return the favor of the Federation. But I’ll take Lacus with me, and no one can keep her. I promise.”
0
“Doctor, I certainly respect you, but I’m afraid your trophy is not of much value to the Queen and her husband, right?” Scirocco shrugged, “Dr. Lingus, you’re putting me in a difficult position.”
0
Ade sighed. Lacus identity was too sensitive, and in the end, he could only solve it in this way, “Difficult? Then I think you’d better given up. She is my woman, with my identity, do you still want to take my woman away from me?”
0
Scirocco looked at Ade with a gloomy look. Of course, he could not shout “I am an NT, I know you are lying!”, the key here is only in Ade’s statement, whether it is true or false is not important.
0
Scirocco sneered, got up, and left. After a day of bumping into the wall, he didn’t even have the heart to pretend to be polite.
0
After that, Ade returned to the room with Aker leading the way, and Lacus naturally followed in.
0
“So you knew it would end up like this, right?” Ade looked at her with a complicated expression, “Is this pretty much the same as the script you prepared?”
0
“In my script, that last line would be said by myself, and I was very surprised by Ade-san’s performance in front of me.” Lacus laughed very happily, “I can’t imagine Ade-san has such a side. It was really a surprise today.”
0
“That is acting… I just don’t like Scirocco.”
0
“But I’m satisfied.” Lacus’s smile became a little despondent, “according to the agreement, I will eventually return to PLANT, and Ade-san is so important to the moon, so you can’t leave with me. So even if the Federation publicized today’s conversation, Ade-san, you can just say that you’re tired of me at that time.”
0
Looking at him as if he wanted to say something, Lacus put up her index finger and pressed it to his lips.
0
“I’m serious. I’m not a woman who waits for a pie to fall from the sky. Since Ade-san has given me the opportunity to return to politics, I will give my all for this opportunity. This is my biggest dream and there is no way I will give up.” The young girl withdrew her fingers with a firm look, “There is something I want to fight for with all my might. I have always come this way and will always stick to it. So much for the status of a singer, so much for the dream of a politician, so much for everything else.”
0
She is talking about the dream of being a politician, right?
0
“By the way, can you… perform… perform the acting just now again?” For a moment, Lacus’s firm look disappeared and she poked her arm out with a slightly red face, “Who is for it and who is against it? Can you play it again?”
