The next day, Xiao Ran informed her secretary of her decision to travel. Originally, when Xiao Ran saw Flay, she had the intention of transferring Flay to her side to be her secretary. After all, having someone she was familiar with working for her was much more suitable than having someone she was not familiar with. However, Flay refused to do so.
Xiao Ran didn't only have one secretary. However, since she represented Xiao Ran, she had to be very meticulous. Although she didn't have a clear authority, it didn't mean that she didn't have any authority. If it was the previous Flay, she would have agreed to work for Xiao Ran, someone she was familiar with. However, the current Flay was different.
The mature Flay was able to think of more things. She was also clear about her own abilities. She knew that she might not be able to take on a job that required great pressure and meticulous attention. At the same time, she was also worried that she might accidentally make a mistake while working, which would eventually lead to a bigger problem. Therefore, she refused Xiao Ran's offer and decided to stay in Dawn Society to work with Director Simmonds on the development of the new machine.
Although Xiao Ran didn't know how much Flay had changed, nor did he know about her abilities, he could naturally think of the things that Flay thought of. He just hoped that someone he was familiar with could help him arrange some more secretive matters. Her abilities were secondary. However, since Flay refused, Xiao Ran didn't say anything else.
Xiao Ran's departure from Aube was a big matter for Aube. He must make the most appropriate arrangements to determine the time of Xiao Ran's departure. However, it just so happened that Xiao Ran also had some matters to attend to. Therefore, while his subordinates were preparing for this matter, they wouldn't delay Xiao Ran's time.
After spending a few days discussing with the World Security Alliance about the handover of the captives, although the World Security Alliance had protested to Aubrey, the World Security Alliance could only protest to the current Aubrey. Compared to the time when Carly was in power, the World Security Alliance was no longer like a country at all.
However, the protests didn't matter to Xiao Ran. Firstly, the Dominion Angel didn't participate in the war blindly. As the flagship of Aube's army and Xiao Ran's ship, it represented Aube's mobile territory. Since they dared to start a war near Aube's mobile territory, Xiao Ran naturally had to teach them a lesson.
Besides, the one who made that fleet lose its fighting strength was the Freedom Gundam, the Archangel that had left Aube. It had nothing to do with Aube. What? The Dominion Angel is currently in the Zaft army base? Please, Aube is a neutral country. If you don't mind, I'll let the Dominion Angel visit your base next time. Besides, we have some simple cooperation with the Zaft to deal with the mysterious librarians. Why don't you join us and send a troop to the Zaft base? Don't worry, Aube will definitely guarantee the safety of that troop within the Zaft's sphere of influence.
Just like that, with Xiao Ran's righteous attitude and the alliance's current weakness in dealing with Aube, and the fact that the losses were not that big, Xiao Ran also generously made some concessions in terms of compensation. This matter was perfectly resolved under the satisfaction of the majority of the people in the World Security Alliance.
A fleet transporting a huge amount of supplies also began to sail in the direction of Aube. After dealing with this matter, Xiao Ran also began to contact some forces close to Aube. Although some forces did not have a formal army and had joined the World Security Alliance, it did not mean that these forces did not have resources.
Xiao Ran contacted them one by one, asking for support one by one, or by using the method of purchasing on credit. In the end, he managed to get a huge amount of supplies for Aube. Basically, Xiao Ran was simply borrowing favors, brushing his face, or returning favors. Doing such a thing once was enough. Not to mention that Xiao Ran was not thick-skinned enough to do it a second time, it was indeed not appropriate.
While Xiao Ran was busy brushing his face, the Archangel also began to move in the direction of Aube after leaving the battlefield at that time.
Mary naturally knew that now that Aube had become the army's territory, Kajali, Kira, and Lax would no longer be any obstacles to Xiao Ran. She also wanted to return to Aube.
But in addition to Mary, Kira also wanted to go back to Aube. He wanted to meet his teacher in person, meet the person who had been taking care of him, and ask Xiao Ran personally what Xiao Ran wanted to do. Ma Yimi's last words indeed made Kira feel something that he did not feel before. In the battle with Aslan, he also felt Aslan's support for Aube and Xiao Ran at all costs. He believed in Aslan, and he also believed in Xiao Ran, so he also proposed to go back to Aube.
But the first person to propose it was not either Kira or Mary, but Lax. After Yan Hong carried the Freedom Gundam back to the Archangel, and the two entered the bridge, Lax took off her earphones, stood up, and looked at Kira, who seemed calm but had a lot of fluctuations in his heart, and Kajali, whose eyes were full of tears, guilt, disappointment, and sadness.
"Let's go to Aube."
After hearing Lax's words, Mary and Kajali both looked at Lax in surprise, while Kira nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Kajali wanted to go back to Aube. She also wanted to see the difference in Aube after she left. She was moved, but she was in a dilemma. She did not know what kind of attitude and mood she should use to face that person, Xiao Ran, who seemed to have taken away her position and power and became the official leader of Aube.
But what she did was too much. She said those words and led Kira to do those things. Kajali really did not know how to face Xiao Ran. After seeing Xiao Ran, what should she say? And without Aube's position, what could she bring to Aube? Trouble or help?
"I … I …" Kajali said the word "I", but did not know how to continue.
Lax seemed to see Kajali's inner struggle and thoughts. She smiled gently at Kajali and said, "I believe that person will not blame you for what happened. We can all understand how you feel about Aube, and I believe that person feels the same. Although you may have made many mistakes in the process, you did not cause any serious consequences. But a mistake is a mistake. Don't you even have the courage to apologize to him face to face?"
"Who said I don't have the courage!" Kajali retorted, but then her tone became soft, "I just … I just don't know how to face him."
Lax shook her head, "Then what do you think? Do you want to go back and meet him, or do you want to continue to run away and wander aimlessly as an exile without any help or supplies?"
Kira patted Kajali's shoulder. When Kajali turned to look at him, he shook his head slightly and said, "We have to go back and make up for the mistakes we made. Also, we have to know what teacher is really thinking. I believe that teacher is someone who is willing to fight for Aube, so the close relationship between Aube and ZAFT is definitely not as simple as we think. I want to know the inside story. I want to help Aube, help teacher, and also help you, do you understand?"
Kajali looked at Kira's encouraging expression, then looked at Lax's similar expression. She nodded hesitantly, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, let's go back. It doesn't matter if he locks us up, I have to watch over him. I can't let him lead Aube down the wrong path."
"Kajali." The encouraging smile on Lax's face suddenly turned serious and serious. He looked at Kajali and said in a deep voice, "You must not have such thoughts. Although you are the heir of the Ashari family, you are no longer the heir of Aube, and you are not the leader of Aube now. You are just a noble of Aube. You have no position and no right to decide the path of Aube, and you have no right to stop Aube's development. You can be a bystander, or you can participate in Aube's work, but you must never have such thoughts. For a country, having a common goal is the best."
"Lax …" Kajali stared blankly at Lax. She didn't understand why Lax, who had always helped her, would suddenly say something like this. He even stood on Xiao Ran's side and forbade her from continuing to order Aube around. However, when she saw Lax's serious expression and the aura he unconsciously revealed, Kajali was at a loss.
Kira also said, "Kajali, Lax is right. Whether it is for you or for Aube, you can't interfere in any of Aube's decisions. You are no longer the Prime Minister of Aube, and you indeed have no right to decide any of Aube's matters. If you insist on interfering, how will the people who support you and Teacher choose? Especially in a country, perhaps because of your words or actions, Aube will be divided and eventually become hostile. Do you understand?"
"I … I …" Kajali gritted her teeth and shook off Kira's hand from her shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and ran out of the bridge.
The people in the bridge looked at each other as they watched Kajali leave. The people in the bridge weren't just Mary, Kira, and Lax. There were also people in the bridge, Andrew the tiger, the helmsman, the weapon controller, and the radar controller. Kajali's immature action made these people shake their heads slightly.
