Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 723 The Last Twelve Hours (Part )

"So this is the palace. I thought it would be more magnificent."

"Thor! Don't forget what happened here, keep your voice down!"

After enduring the severe cold winter, Scandinavia looked greener as the temperature rose. After stepping out of the fixed-wing plane, Thor and Millie were somewhat amazed.

Two-year-old Estell in Millie's arms seemed to be enjoying the flight just now. When she found that her parents were getting farther and farther away from the big iron bird, she stretched out her hands anxiously and muttered words that only Millie could understand.

"Let's fly~"

"Be good, I'll take you to see your little brother later."

While coaxing the child in his arms, he glared at his teammates. The riot that occurred in the Scandinavian palace not long ago has been classified as a vicious terrorist attack. In the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, the whole incident only resulted in the deaths of three people, the Earth Church priest Frey Alusta and two refugee representatives.

But Millie was no outsider, she knew very well that everything that had happened here was closely related to Kira's current behavior. The palace was large and the royal family was rich, but Millie, with her talent as a reporter, keenly noticed that there was a slight mismatch in the decoration of the palace square.

The bricks on the floor of the entire square were brand new, and had obviously been replaced not long ago. Against the backdrop of the surrounding cultural relic-level buildings, this newness suddenly made Millie feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart. Perhaps every stone slab that she and Thor walked on might be soaked with Frey's blood.

"Who would have thought of this day when we were in Heliopolis?"

After being reminded by his wife, Thor also sighed leisurely. Among the people from Orb University of Technology, Sai has become Cagalli's right-hand man, Kaz has completely returned to the life of an ordinary person and took the initiative to cut off contact with everyone, and the luckiest Thor and Millie not only achieved their goal but also gave birth to the fruit of their love. However, the experiences of Frey and Kira still made the old classmates feel a little sad.

"Don't bring up any irrelevant issues when you see Lars later. If Frey really stabbed me with that knife, I don't even dare to think about the consequences!"

"Correction, that's the photocopy man. Our old classmate died three years ago!"

Thor waved his hand to correct his wife's speech error. He could accept that his classmate was a gifted person like the strongest adjuster, but he could never accept the unethical biotechnology of resurrecting the dead. But obviously Millie did not completely agree with Thor's opinion.

"I don't need to explain what the old classmate you mentioned did, right? If it wasn't for Siegfried, my family of three would have been killed by her in the East Asian jungle. Instead, it was that copy person. Hilde has already found out that her last abnormal behavior was most likely due to mind control. Apart from this incident, Priest Alustar has saved millions of refugees. If I have to fix Frey's image in my memory, I would rather remember her as the copy person!"

Millie did not stand on Thor's side in her attitude towards the photocopier, because in the past two years she did not switch to being a housewife, but returned to her job as a front-line reporter after her body allowed it.

Instead, Thor spent more and more time at home taking care of the children. Because of this, Millie had a deeper understanding of the group of photocopiers.

Whether it is Isaac and Mayu who have been pardoned, or Tria who has become the number one terrorist, and Frey who has died, perhaps the copies have indeed inherited the memories of the original body, but Millie has always regarded these people as completely independent individuals. She insists that the good and evil of the original body cannot be crudely transferred to the copy.

Under the guidance of the palace guards, the two successfully arrived at the queen's bedroom. Rena, who was standing at the door, looked at the couple with a complicated expression and pushed open the heavy wooden door full of history. Queen Las Winslet was standing inside with her child in one hand.

The long light orange hair was casually tied into a bun, and the child in her arms did not cry. From Millie's perspective, the sparse red hair on the top of the head was a bright sign, announcing the identity of the child's father.

What surprised the couple even more was that Ra's was not wearing a court dress or home clothes, but a combat suit specially made for MS pilots. The crown-shaped helmet was also held in the hands of Ra's child, who seemed to be playing with it like a toy.

"Finally you guys are here, hurry up and pick them up!"

Without waiting for Millie to ask anything, Lars hurriedly stuffed the child into her arms. This action also attracted the attention of Estelle who was sucking her fingers in her father's arms. She stretched out her hand and murmured "Brother~Brother~" incoherently. Then, she didn't know which switch was triggered, and she let out a series of silver bell-like laughter.

"Las, you are dressed like this"

“I’m going to space.”

After carefully wiping the saliva off the helmet, facing Miri's puzzled eyes, Lars gave his answer directly. As a result, Miri stuffed the child back to Thor, and then grabbed Lars' arm and took a few steps forward, completely ignoring that Thor's hair was almost pulled off by the two children. "What are you talking about? You should have received the report of the first wave of the Celestial Beings' attack, right? Before Kira showed up, they were tied with Luo Pan. They were Celestial Beings, Aslan, Zhen, and Uncle Mu were all there. What can you do to help them?"

Las looked at Milialia quietly. She knew very well that the other party did not want to belittle anything. Two wars in three years had already made all countries have a more intuitive understanding of UACE.

Although her driving skills are at the level of an ordinary ace in the People's Revolutionary League, they are at best at the level of Edward. Looking at the entire Tianren, it is hard to say whether she can beat Luna.

"Is Cagalli going too?"

"Eh? I don't...her."

Seeing Millie's unprepared expression, Lars's eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc. She stretched out her index finger and gently tapped the other's forehead and continued: "I am Lars who can read minds. You can't fool me."

The two children in Thor's arms not far away seemed to have skipped the process of "from familiar to unfamiliar". The two-year-old Estel showed a strong curiosity about Joshua and kept trying to move over Thor to his brother's side. Seeing this scene, Las and Mili smiled with relief at the same time.

"In fact, I have always known that you all think that I am the third party who interfered. I took advantage of Cagalli's ignorance and Siegfried's psychological problems at the time to succeed in getting to the top."

"no."

"Don't forget my nickname," Millie put on the queen's exclusive combat helmet with her backhand. The wings extending from both sides of the crown reminded Millie of Valkyrie, the most famous Valkyrie in Norse mythology.

"In fact, if there hadn't been a marriage alliance with the kingdom at that time, the clans of Orb probably wouldn't have returned in a short time. We all know that!"

Millie was explaining something in a panic. Las's 'raid' was not without purpose. In terms of closeness, Siegfried and Cagalli were friends since they fled from Heliopolis. If Millie were to ask herself, deep down in her heart, she did have the thought of criticizing Las for stealing her love.

But she also clearly remembered that three years ago, in order to rescue her and Thor, Siegfried left Lars alone in the village. As a result, if Cong Yunhe had not arrived in time, Lars and Master He would have become a handful of mud in the dense forest.

So for a moment, Millie wanted to bury her head in the dirt. The embarrassment of having her little thoughts exposed by the person involved, as well as the shame brought about by her inner moral standards, made her feel unable to face Lars.

The marriage between the Kingdom and Orb, to put it simply, was the Kingdom taking the initiative to help the Asha family stabilize the political situation. At that time, Siegfried had just massacred the entire Celan family, and the Orb family, big and small, was in urgent need of external aid to help them restore their trust in the Asha family, and the Kingdom was the best candidate for this role.

In a broader sense, the marriage between the Kingdom and Orb can be seen as one of the foundations of the People's Revolutionary League, because in this way Siegfried, the humanoid nuclear bomb, will not be regarded as the exclusive weapon of the Asha family. At least Siegfried must be fair between the Kingdom and Orb. This equal sharing of responsibilities is also the cornerstone for East Asia to be willing to humble itself and start negotiations.

"In fact, I was just stealing a man. When Siegfried rescued me naked from the petri dish, when he put his hand on my forehead and told me not to be afraid and that he would take me out of my memories, when he hugged me tightly and kept repeating that fortunately I was okay, I knew that I would only be with him in this life, even if he already had Cagalli, even if you all thought they were a perfect match, of course I had to take the initiative to have hope for my own love!"

Looking back at Thor behind her again, the expression on Las' face was indescribably gentle. Millie, who had also become a mother, immediately noticed the reluctance hidden under Las' maternal love.

"Lars."

"This is why I want to go to the universe. Maybe not being able to get the love I want is God's punishment for me, but no matter what, I am Siegfried's legal wife. If Cagalli can do it, I can do it too, right?"

"child."

"If I stay in the universe, then please ask you and Thor to raise Joshua as your own child. I remember Siegfried has arranged a marriage for you two."

Reaching out and fastening the cloak with the royal emblem, Las gently hugged Mirialia, and then she pushed open the heavy wooden door without hesitation.

The Scandinavian wind lifted a corner of her cloak and ruffled Miriam's thoughts. She tried hard to say something, but when the words came to her lips, Miriam found that she could not make the slightest sound. The surging and heavy love from Lars pressed on Miriam's chest like a boulder.
