“Wait, Sonia.”
Andre scuttled and arrived before her worriedly.
“Is anything the matter, Andre?”
“Do you really intend to do that?”
“… What you meant was…”
“To become the military representative and remain in contact with that guy?”
“That’s right, Andre.”
Sonia’s brows twitched when she heard Andre addressing Rhode as ‘that guy’ and a look of dissatisfaction emerged on her face. However, Andre didn’t notice as he knitted his brows and spoke hesitantly.
“I don’t think this is a good idea, Sonia. You’ve indeed interacted with that guy. But have you forgotten? Back then, didn’t that guy treat you badly?”
Andre sensed Sonia’s body tremble. Even though her expression remained the same, her reactions affirmed his thoughts.
“Sonia, I can ask them to send someone else instead…”
“Are you willing to go with me, Andre?”
Sonia asked and Andre was astonished. He gazed blankly, knitted his brows uncomfortably, and nodded after a few seconds of hesitation. It was due to this that he didn’t notice Sonia’s sense of disappointment hidden deep in her eyes.
“Of course, Sonia. If it is possible, I will surely accompany you.”
“I just casually said it, Andre. You don’t have to take it so seriously.”
Sonia revealed a gentle smile and shook her head slightly. Then, she took a step back.
“Don’t forget your duties, Andre. You didn’t come here to have a chat with me. Didn’t parliament member Carlson fight for your permission to assist in the front lines? Don’t you want to use this chance to start afresh? Have you forgotten the words you said to me before you came here? This is your chance for rebirth. You won’t crumble just like this and will stand up once again… This is your belief, isn’t it?”
“… Of course, Sonia.”
Andre gazed solemnly at the young lady.
“I’ve never forgotten this, Sonia. I won’t hide from my fate. This time, I will embrace all challenges bravely. This is the courage that you’ve given me and I will remember it forever.”
“That’s good to hear. I believe that you’ll succeed.”
Sonia smiled and turned around.
“Alright then, I should get going. I have work to accomplish.”
She spoke so softly that it was almost inaudible.
Anne laid across the wooden table and yawned lazily. Beside her was Orchid Heart who seemed to have entered dreamland. She sat quietly on the chair, rested her hands on the black book on her thighs, and nodded as though dozing off.
