The sun set and the moon rose.
When the pure white moonlight shone on the table, it was already time for Carrie to work for several hours after returning from the intense battlefield.
Just as Mina had said, whether it was the soldiers who had died in battle or the soldiers who had survived, they urgently needed someone to arrange a place for them to go.
However, Carrie, who was so engrossed in her work, did not take into account that she herself was also someone who had walked out from the intense battlefield.
The tragic experiences she had on the battlefield, the accumulated fatigue she had accumulated was not much better than the surviving soldiers of Aubry.
"I did not say that you have to disregard your fatigue and fight until dawn."
The moment the door opened, a familiar figure stepped into Carrie's office.
Behind her were two helpless and troubled Aubry soldiers.
"Go and rest! Let me take care of this myself! Lord Mina will not make things difficult for me. "
Carrie put down her pen, rubbed her temples, and stood up. She spoke as she walked to the tea table on the right side of the room.
"Would you like a cup of coffee? Or perhaps a cup of tea? "
Mina's sharp eyes looked at Carrie's stubborn expression for a while, then shook her head.
"No. I don't need that kind of thing. "
Mina turned around and walked to the table, casually picking up the documents on the table and glancing at them.
"Compensation for the families of the martyrs? I didn't expect you to think so far ahead! Prime Minister. "
Carrie held the kettle tightly, wanting to make herself a cup of coffee, but she realized that standing up was already all she could do.
Taking advantage of the fact that Mina could not see her trembling right hand holding the kettle, Carrie sighed inwardly, let go of her hand, and turned around to respond.
"Every soldier who sacrificed for Aubry should be treated as they deserve. And the families who lost their heroes will not lose their pillar of support because of this. Because Aubry will take care of the families of the deceased heroes, until … "
She paused for a moment and subconsciously looked behind her desk, to the right of where she usually sat when she was handling official business.
That was where her loyal and close guards used to stand.
"Until … after a hundred years, the families of the heroes will go to the other side to reunite with the heroes without any regrets."
Even though it was only for a moment, Mina still noticed Carrie's gaze.
However, she did not point it out.
Placing the document back on the table, Mina strode over to Carrie.
"Then, I'm done here. It should be our Prime Minister's turn to visit the soldiers who were injured for the country. "
"But … I still have some unfinished business here."
Suddenly, Mina took advantage of Carly's inattention and slapped her on the shoulder.
Caught off guard, Carrie's legs turned to jelly and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, as the instigator, Mina was quick enough to support Carly.
"Now, do you still think you have the energy to continue working? Aubrey's Prime Minister. "
"You …"
Carrie struggled for a moment, but eventually gave up on the idea of continuing to work on the documents.
"Clearly, you also …"
"Work and rest should be balanced. Isn't that so? "
Thus, under the watchful eyes of her subordinates, Carly followed behind Mina and boarded the vehicle that had been prepared beforehand. They drove all the way to the treatment area where the wounded were being treated.
Gazing at the ruined city outside the window.
Looking at the originally lively scene that had now turned into a pile of rubble and monster remains that hadn't been cleaned up yet, Carrie suddenly felt her shoulders become heavier.
The battle that almost destroyed Aubrey had ended.
The next thing to do was to rebuild Aubrey.
Along the way, Carrie's expression kept changing.
At times, it was serious.
At times, it was sad.
At times, it was struggling.
Mina did not try to persuade her.
This was all a test for Carrie.
Not long after, the convoy from the Prime Minister's residence slowly drove into the treatment area.
Before the vehicle stopped, Carrie, who was thinking about Aubrey's future, was startled awake by a commotion.
"What's going on?"
Outside the window, there was a faint but clear voice.
At the same time, in the largest building for the wounded, there seemed to be flashing lights floating in the air.
Puzzled, Carrie got out of the vehicle and pulled an Aubrey soldier who was not far away.
"What's going on inside?"
"Ah …"
To Carrie's surprise, the Aubry soldier didn't immediately respond. Instead, after being urged by Carrie several times, he seemed to have snapped out of his daze and saluted Carrie in a fluster.
"I … I'm sorry! Madam Carrie. I … I … "
Compared to the Aubrey soldier's dereliction of duty, Carrie was more concerned about what was going on in the building for the wounded.
However, the Aubrey soldier hesitated.
"It seems like … someone … is singing in there."
The Aubrey soldier stammered a few times before he uttered a sentence that left Carrie scratching her head.
"Don't make things difficult for him! There is indeed someone singing here. Moreover, the person singing is someone you know. "
When Mina's affirmative voice sounded, Carrie saw the Aubrey soldier heave a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to show too much of it.
This made Carrie feel helpless.
"Go back to your duty! Pay attention to your surroundings. "
"Yes! Madam Carrie. "
Looking at the backs of the fleeing Aubry soldiers, Mina stood at the gate and looked at Carrie.
"If you're curious, why don't you follow me! No one will come to welcome you if you just stand there! Prime Minister. "
The corners of Carrie's mouth twitched, but she did not respond to Mina's sarcasm.
To her, such sarcasm was something she was used to.
"In the depths of the bone-chilling night …"
Carrie followed behind Mina. The moment she stepped through the door, Carrie's spirit was lifted. She felt refreshed, and the accumulated fatigue in her body seemed to have disappeared.
"What … what's going on?!"
Carrie's bewildered gaze followed Mina to the hall of the building, landing on the figure surrounded by the wounded.
Rays of pure white light scattered from the small triangular drone hovering above the hall, covering the figure like moonlight.
The figure that seemed to be covered by a layer of holy white gauze was so beautiful, so holy.
"The singing of prayers seems to be faintly glowing …"
"That … is Ra …"
After a pause, Carrie recognized the back of the figure.
However, the moment she touched the long black hair, Carrie seemed to have understood something and did not speak.
Mina gestured to an empty corner and signaled for Carly to follow her.
"You …"
As soon as she walked over, Carrie saw a familiar mask and a familiar figure.
"Ley … no … Knight. I didn't expect it to be you. You … "
Carrie looked at the figure sitting in the corner in surprise, then subconsciously turned to look at the eye-catching figure in the hall.
"You …"
"We're missing. Aren't we? "
Before Carrie could ask, the man took the initiative to speak with a smile.
"According to the actual situation, we are indeed missing. This is not something to be surprised about. Isn't it? Prime Minister. "
Carrie stared at the mask for a while, then finally nodded.
"You're right. After all, under those circumstances … "
Carrie sighed, then suddenly put on a serious expression.
"Knight. After that, you didn't return to PLANT? You went with her and Audrey. "
The man named Knight frowned.
He understood.
Carrie's words seemed to be hiding something.
"No. At that time, we were indeed missing from this world. They've completely disappeared. "
As he spoke, the gaze hidden under the mask was still wandering around.
Maybe it was because the singing was unusually moving.
Maybe it was because the figure was very eye-catching.
Other than the triangular drone hovering above the hall, no one noticed the situation here.
"Then, who was the Holy Lion Knight who appeared in Zaft half a year ago?"
Carrie finally asked the question that had been in her heart for a long time.
"Half a year ago, Holy Lion Knight?!"
This time, it was the man and Mina's turn to be surprised.
"It seems that the changes in this world are far beyond our imagination, isn't it? Mina. "
"Perhaps so. When the Pillar of Heaven fell into this world, we didn't receive any news about the Holy Lion Knight. It seems that the destiny plan advocated by our Chairman Dilandal is far more complicated than we know. "
Watching the two talk back and forth, using the name "Holy Lion Knight" as the basis, Carrie could speculate a lot of possibilities. She frowned and couldn't help but organize the information she knew in her mind.
"In fact, after the crisis of the X1 rift erupted, Zaft's newest warship, the Minerva, went missing. After the sub-fleet that went to the D.S.S.D frontier research space station to search sank, Zaft was suppressed by the monsters that came out of the rift at his doorstep. It wasn't until Chairman Dilandal relied on the powerful lethality of the miniaturized Genesis and the efforts of the "Holy Lion Knight" that PLANT and Zaft officially declared as the hero of the battle against Yakin Duwei, that they were able to eliminate the alien monsters that once suppressed PLANT's doorstep. "
"Holy Lion Knight?! Yakin Duwei?! "
The eyes hidden under the mask gradually turned cold.
There was only one person who could be crowned with the title of Holy Lion Knight in the battle against Yakin Duwei.
That was when the Genesis was about to be launched towards Earth. The pilot who piloted the Freedom Gao Da and then used unknown means to summon a pure white steel lion to destroy the Genesis in one fell swoop, Ray Mingkai.
"If that person is the so-called Holy Lion Knight, then who am I?"
The mask was slowly taken off, revealing the true face hidden behind it to Carrie.
