Proposal!
Chapter 714 Proposal!
Is the girl on the hospital bed the real Lacus Clyne?
Although there are still some doubts about its credibility, the identity of Nicol Amalfi, as the other party in contrast, has been strictly confirmed.
Whether it is the intelligence from the headquarters of the East Asia Republic Space Force or the inquiries from the PLANT Council, there is a lot of information about Nicol Amalfi.
If the girl who had been in a coma had not suddenly woken up, the country would have probably already sent a negotiation team to take Nicol Amalfi away and use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the PLANT Supreme Council again.
Now, this plan has been shelved as the girl woke up.
At the same time, the video of the conversation between Nicol Amalfi and the girl on the hospital bed was specially encrypted and sent back to the country through top-secret channels.
A few hours later, a message was sent to He Ming.
"The time has not come yet, so take care of it yourself."
With just eight words, He Ming already knew that the country did regard the girl on the hospital bed as a trump card, but there was no suitable time to use this trump card.
Come to think of it.
Ever since the scene where "Lacus Clyne" coughed up blood when she made the Black Suit Declaration, ZAFT's bloodiness has been aroused.
Judging from the battle reports from various fronts, the Earth Federation Army is increasingly at a disadvantage when facing the fully motivated ZAFT army, and is only a hair's breadth away from being on the verge of total collapse.
“This is a very vexing problem.”
"Sir, how about arranging her to stay by your side?"
After completing the renovation project of Iron Man 3, Salamantini, who did not have much work on hand at the moment, stood beside He Ming and made a suggestion.
"Arrange it nearby?"
He Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. According to the current situation, East Asia must want to temporarily hide this Lacus Clyne and wait for the right time to play this trump card."
Saramantini nodded slightly and continued.
"As far as our current situation is concerned, neither the Pillar of Heaven nor the Polaris can properly accommodate this 'Lacus Clyne'. Although there should be a suitable position on the Nova, if an unexpected situation occurs, we may be unable to reach it and cause unnecessary trouble."
Listening to Salamantini's analysis, He Ming smiled helplessly.
"After all, is it true that we are the only place where this 'Lacus Clyne' can stand?"
"exactly."
After a pause, a hint of mischief flashed in Salamantini's eyes.
"Come to think of it, isn't your Excellency just lacking an orderly?"
"What?"
The TV was showing the route of PLANT holding a memorial ceremony for Bloody Valentine and the subsequent black suit declaration.
The person sitting by the bed,
The person leaning on the bed,
They all kept a serious expression and watched the video to the end.
It was not until the picture froze on the moment when Aslan Zala personally wiped the blood from the mouth of "Lacus Klein" with his sleeve that Nicol Amalfi let out a long sigh.
"Is this the dramatic change that occurred when I was captured?"
The person on the hospital bed closed his eyes slightly after hearing this.
"That was the dramatic change that happened after I was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
Nicol could see the hidden pain of the person on the bed, but he could do nothing.
"Lux, can you tell me what happened? Why are you here? And who is she?" The person on the hospital bed bit her lips slightly and finally spoke slowly.
"I still remember that I boarded the Silver Wind spacecraft and went to Junius 7 with the memorial group to hold a memorial ceremony. But when we were about to arrive at Junius 7, a riot suddenly broke out on the Silver Wind."
She frowned tightly, as if she didn't want to recall the scene.
But whether it was to let Nicol Amalfi know the truth, or to make herself understand the truth hidden behind it, she forced herself to recall.
"Were they attacked by the Earth Alliance?"
"No! They were not the Earth Alliance attackers, but our own. The accident happened when everyone was discussing ZAFT's recent achievements."
"Mr. Arnold, I remember him as a kind person who treated others very gently. But at that time, he was the first to attack the people around him."
As if remembering something terrible, the person on the hospital bed tightly grasped the quilt.
Nicol Amalfi clenched his fists, but he couldn't muster the courage to reach out and comfort her.
What's more, just when he finally mustered up the courage to try to comfort her, that person had already come out of the horrific memories of that time.
"Mr. Arnold, Ms. Lisa, and Mr. Heino, they, they were like possessed, constantly attacking the people around them, attacking me. Those who were still conscious tried their best to send me into the escape pod, and after the escape pod was ejected from the Silver Wind, the Silver Wind seemed to explode."
"Then, you were rescued by the people on this ship?"
Nicol Amalfi suppressed the self-blame in his heart and tried to keep his voice calm.
"No. After that, I was actually found by ZAFT. However, they did not inform ZAFT headquarters of my news. Instead, they pushed the escape pod I was in towards the depths of space and attacked it. Then..."
The person on the hospital bed smiled weakly, raised his right hand and touched his long hair which was a mixture of gray and pink.
“Then, it is what you see now.”
"How could it be? How could it be so?"
Nicol Amalfi couldn't believe what he saw and heard, but the person lying on the hospital bed was undoubtedly Lacus Klein.
Nicol Amalfi couldn't help but believe it.
"I, I want to go back! I want to go back to PLANT!"
Nicol Amalfi stood up suddenly, but soon he sat down again in frustration.
“Crash…”
Nicol Amalfi raised his hands and looked at the shackles that bound them with self-mockery.
"What can I do in my current state?"
"Yes. There are many things you can do. Nicol Amalfi."
Just then, He Ming and Salamantini stood at the door of the ward.
"who are you?"
Nicol Amalfi stood up subconsciously and stood in front of the bed.
"The one who held you captive."
He Ming smiled slightly, strode into the ward, and looked Nicol Amalfi up and down.
Judging from his expression and actions, the period of imprisonment did not cause the young adjuster to lose much of his ability to resist.
"My name is He Ming. Ladies and gentlemen, I have a proposal now. Are you interested in listening to it?"
