"Haa …"
Sitting on the chair, Alisa hugged her legs with a gloomy expression.
She had been locked up here for quite some time now.
After hearing about the civil war in the Empire, Alisa had been restless. She had been trying to contact her mother. She knew that the Lionfort Society was the commercial pillar of the Empire, so the civil war would definitely affect them. But no matter how hard Alisa tried, she could not contact her mother. In the end, she had no choice but to come back.
Then, she was locked up here by Director Haider.
Alisa did not know what to do. She had already learned from Director Haider that the humanoid mechas used by the Lionfort Society were manufactured and supplied by the Lionfort Society. This made Alisa even more restless. Although Director Haider told her that once the aristocratic party took control of the Empire and ended the civil war, the Lionfort Society would rise rapidly, how could Alisa believe such nonsense?
Moreover, the Linefort Association was already the largest commercial supplier of the Empire. How else could it continue to rise? Let them rule the Empire?
But on the other hand, if the aristocratic party failed, what awaited the Lionfort Society would be a disaster!
Alisa was no longer a child. She had studied abroad in Libel for a few years and had a certain understanding of politics and economics. The only thing that relieved her was that, according to Director Haider, her mother did not participate in the coup. In order to prevent her from getting in the way, Director Haider imprisoned her mother.
But … was it really that simple?
Alisa remembered what Fangzheng had taught her about the danger of monopolizing a country, especially a large corporation like the Lionfort Society. It would be fine if it cooperated well with the royal family, but if there was a problem, the government would definitely find all kinds of reasons to weaken and suppress it. Now that the royal family had such a big hold on the Lionfort Society, Alisa did not know what to do.
Would the emperor not pursue the matter just because she said that her mother did not do it on purpose and that she was also a victim?
What made Alisa even more anxious was that not long ago, Director Hydle had approached her and asked her to cooperate with the Aristocratic Party. He also promised that as long as she was willing to cooperate with the Aristocratic Party, her mother would be safe and the Lionfort Society would remain the same.
"Don't tell me you really think that if the regular army wins, your Clayfort Society will still be safe?"
Alisa could still remember what Director Hydle had said to her.
"You have no way out. If the noble alliance doesn't win this civil war, will you and your mother have a good ending? As long as you're willing to nod your head and officially join the United Army of Nobles, then everything you're worried about will not happen again! "
Director Haider's words were so convincing that Alisa started to waver.
Of course, joining the Noble Alliance wasn't just an empty promise. According to Director Hydle, Alisa had to be engaged to one of the Four Great Noble Families, Lufas. This was what Alisa was hesitating about. If she could protect her mother and the society by sacrificing herself, then … should she do it?
Join the United Army of Nobles and be engaged to one of the Four Great Noble Families?
But she was still so young … Ugh …
Bang!!!
While Alisa's thoughts were running wild, a dull thud suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a loud gunshot. Then, it disappeared in an instant. Dead silence followed.
What's going on?
Hearing the sudden appearance and disappearance of the gunshot, Alisa became nervous. She stood up and looked at the door anxiously, then looked around. Her Conductive Bow had been taken away, so there was nothing else here that could be used as a weapon. But just to be safe, Alisa still grabbed the chair next to her and looked forward carefully.
Under Alisa's watchful eyes, the originally locked door opened with a click. Then, a person walked in.
"… Huh?"
Alisa was stunned when she saw the familiar figure.
"Yo, looks like you're doing well."
Fangzheng looked around, then greeted Alisa with a smile. Alisa just stared at him blankly. The next moment, she suddenly dropped the chair in her hand and pounced on Mr. Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng!!!"
Alisa screamed as she threw herself into Fangzheng's arms and burst into tears.
"It's okay, it's okay now. See, I'm here, aren't I?"
While comforting Alisa, Fangzheng smiled and stroked her head.
Fey, who was standing at the side, stared at Alisa. Then, Alisa lowered her head and looked at her chest.
This woman's chest was so big just now, but now it's so flat?
Why is it so flexible?
It's completely different from mine …
"By the way, Mr. Fangzheng, why are you here?"
After crying in Fangzheng's arms for a while, Alisa finally relaxed a lot. She raised her head and looked at Fangzheng curiously. Facing Alisa's question, Fangzheng just smiled.
"Do you even need to ask? Because I'm a member of the Noble Alliance Army. "
"Huh?!"
"The Noble Alliance Army bought over Starlight Technology, and they even asked you to marry me, hehehe …"
"R-really?"
Hearing this news, Alisa panicked. At the same time, her cheeks turned red.
In other words, the person I'm engaged to is Mr. Fangzheng …?
Doesn't seem bad?
Just when Alisa was at a loss for words, Fangzheng smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Okay, I'll stop joking around. I'm now on the same side as the regular army. I'm here to suppress the Linefort Society and rescue you."
"Huh?"
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Regarding Alisa's disappearance before her engagement, Fangzheng had learned about it from Director Hydle. After Fei had easily disassembled the crappy mecha, Director Hydle had been frightened out of his wits. He had collapsed to the ground and confessed everything. So, Fangzheng naturally knew that the Noble Alliance Army wanted to marry Alisa and take control of the Linefort Society, so he played around with it.
"Really!"
Hearing this, Alisa's face turned red. She punched Fangzheng in the chest.
"Mr. Fangzheng, why are you teasing me!"
"Because it's fun."
"Hah …"
Alisa was completely speechless at Fangzheng's unhesitating answer. But she also knew that Fangzheng was such a person. Back then, he had told her about Silent Hill in the thick fog, left them in a strange castle, and told her and Allie ghost stories for a whole night under the pretext of "increasing their courage" after they saw the ghost … Well, he had a lot of bad records.
"Oh, Mom!"
At this moment, Alisa thought of her mother.
"Mr. Fangzheng, please save my mother. She's also imprisoned by Director Hydle."
"Oh, but I don't think that's necessary."
Hearing Alisa's request, Fangzheng shrugged and turned around. Alisa also hurriedly looked outside the door. She saw a woman with short blonde hair and a fierce aura standing there. Behind her was a purple-haired maid.
"Mom, Sharon, are you okay?"
Looking at this scene, Alisa cried out in joy. Upon hearing her call, the purple-haired servant girl bowed with a smile.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Miss."
"Of course I'm fine."
Compared to the maid, Alisa's mother was speechless.
"Why don't you take a look at what you've done, stupid daughter."
"Stupid? Stupid?"
Hearing her mother's words, Alisa was stunned.
"That's right, stupid. You were fine in Libel. Why did you come back?"
"Of course I was worried about you!"
"But what can you do when you come back alone?"
"Ugh …"
Facing her mother's question, Alisa was instantly speechless.
Indeed, what could she do if she came back alone?
"If you had stayed in Libel obediently, I have a hundred ways to deal with an idiot like Hydle. But in the end, you came back and fell into Hydle's hands. He used you as a hostage to force me … You're really stupid. To be honest, I was a little worried that you would be stupid enough to accept the marriage proposal of the Noble Alliance Army. "
"But, but …"
Facing her mother's calm analysis, Alisa immediately refuted.
"But Mom, if the Noble Alliance Army fails, what will happen to Lineford? No matter what.
Our society provided weapons and equipment to the Noble Alliance Army. When that time comes … "
"I'll take responsibility."
Alisa's mother replied coldly.
"But this has nothing to do with you, Mom. They made the decision on their own …"
"It's also a crime to not be strict with your subordinates."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"Besides, Lineford Society and the noble faction have been flirting with each other for so long. It's impossible that Ms. Elina didn't know about it. In short, she can't escape from this responsibility."
"Then, then what should we do?"
Hearing this, Alisa became anxious, while Fangzheng chuckled.
"Have you heard of 'making amends with good deeds'?"
"Making amends with good deeds?"
"That's right. So far, the 4th Armored Division has been fighting hard, but in terms of logistics, they're running low. So, I think … "
Saying this, Fangzheng looked at Ms. Elina.
"Shouldn't Lineford Society do its job well?"
"No problem."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Ms. Elina nodded slightly.
"I will fully cooperate with the regular army."
