Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Fragments of History

However, as an influential figure who created an era, the life of Marshal Bisha von Phidias has attracted the attention of countless critics. Especially after the empire expanded the freedom of speech. With the passage of time, a batch of top-secret documents began to be disclosed one after another due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, including the truth about the irresponsible departure of Marshal Phidias and his assassination in the 44th year of the cosmic calendar. The fragments of history glow with a sharp and cold light like metal, revealing a somewhat ironic truth.Contrary to the positive and tall image of Phidias that the imperial officials have been vigorously promoting for decades, more people began to point out the flaws and weaknesses in the character of the second imperial marshal, and even raised questions about whether he is a soldier suitable for being a leader. doubt.

Although the arguments of all parties are not the same, but without exception, when almost all commentators mentioned the Marshal, he and the then Governor of the Union Miguel Hein were called the most important in an era. Two people, and a systematic comparison of various aspects of the two people from different angles. Even edited the authoritative historical research: Mrs. Aimee Montessey, the famous historian of "The First Year of the Universal Calendar to the Forty Years", also narrated and commented on the lives of the two legendary figures in one volume in her work ——However, as a matter of course, the name of that red-haired girl who was a commoner has been completely lost in the torrent of history.

This female historian, who had personally experienced those turbulent years, was the best friend of Daisy de Moore back then. She and the red-haired girl met on the planet Crete, and they lived together in the flames of war for 4 years. year.When the red-haired girl died in space, the twenty-one-year-old Aimee Francesca had just become "Mrs. Montesi" and was spending her honeymoon with her husband on the Hopf planet far away from Crete. Many years later, every time I recall the scene at that time, all the details seem to be vivid. The gray-haired historian sat blankly among the mountains of historical materials, letting the setting sun slant in through the window, dyeing everything in the room red—when he left his friend full of happiness and sweetness, and boarded the spaceship with his husband At that time, she was only 21 years old and never thought that this would be the eternal farewell between them!

"Aimei, don't be reluctant to spend money—marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime thing..." Before boarding the spaceship, Daisy was still smiling in the waiting room, putting the electronic cash card in her handbag inside.This weak woman who is three years older than Aimei has begun to become stronger after a long period of homelessness, and can take care of her younger companions instead. "Dai, you'd better go to Hopf with us! I'm really worried about letting you stay in Crete alone." Suddenly, full of sweetness, she heard her husband beside her speak, and said to the red-haired girl again, Look worried.

Her heart sank suddenly, and she looked at her husband silently—it was too much, An Jie! At least on this honeymoon, you should be completely mine, right?Why take another person with you? ——Although I have always understood in my heart that the person you care about most is my red-haired friend.More than once, in the face of life and death, in order to protect Dai, you even sacrificed your own life... I have always paid attention to this point—— But that being the case, why do you want to marry me again?Now that you are my husband, you will be mine alone from now on, Anjie!How can you still do this?

At that time, Aimei thought that when the two of them were alone on the honeymoon, she must make this point clear to Monty. "Anjie, Aimei won't be happy if you say that - what time is it, do you still want me to be a light bulb?" With a smile on the girl's ordinary face, Daisy looked at the sky subconsciously and said hesitantly , "Actually, I want to go back to Planet Ramel for a few days—I haven't seen Admiral Hein for a long time. I don't know if the Sun Alliance will give me an entry passport." "No! Absolutely not!" The husband next to me suddenly blurted out eagerly, and sternly said, "Dai, you can't leave Crete alone! It's too unsafe—if you want to go, I'll go with you!"

Daisy was surprised by the groom's overreaction, and looked at the 1.9 meter tall man in puzzlement.However, noticing that the bride's complexion was a bit off, Daisy hurriedly urged the two of them to enter the airport and board the ship. "Dai, promise me, don't wander around alone! —— Aimei and I will be back soon..." Before boarding the spaceship, her husband was still exhorting, with concern and worry on his face, "Don't Leave Crete casually, you know?" "Okay, okay, I see... Anjie, you are not allowed to bully Aimei!" Daisy smiled and helped the two of them carry their luggage, "Let's go, the flight is about to leave!"

The newlyweds walked into the cabin side by side, the spaceship gradually rose, and the red-haired girl on the ground gradually disappeared—but Anjie kept looking out the window, as if she was so preoccupied that she completely forgot the existence of his wife beside her. "Hmph." She couldn't help but sneered suddenly, feeling an indescribable jealousy towards her friend -- she also looked out the window and cast a hostile glance at her imaginary red-haired friend. However, Aimei never imagined that this would be the last meeting between her and her! Because she was still angry with Anjie, she didn't want to talk to him in the first few days of the honeymoon. No matter how much Montessey tried to make peace, she didn't want to forgive him easily-they would be a married couple for the rest of their lives. How can a wife pretend to keep another woman in her husband's heart?

Mrs. Aimee Montessey thought so angrily at the time-but she didn't know that she had completely misunderstood her husband!And this misunderstanding was not resolved until nearly fifty years later!If she knew from the beginning that she would only spend 7 days with Anjie in her life, she would never spend 2 of them on anger and cold war with him. Their honeymoon ends without really beginning. When she just arrived at the travel destination, the news that the planet Crete had been destroyed in the flames of war had already spread, and her heart sank in an instant—but, to her own shame, her heart sank. What follows in the depths is actually a trace of joy and relief!She actually felt happy!

From now on... Anjie will really be her own angel! But she never expected that Daisy's death was the beginning of her own tragic fate—her happiness in the rest of her life was also shattered in pieces when her friend died. However, her husband's reaction was beyond her expectation - An Jie's expression was extremely terrifying, as if the end of the world was coming!Without saying a word, he immediately returned to Crete. However, what awaited them was a desolate planet blown into meteorites! She subconsciously covered her face and began to cry bitterly, but her mood was complicated—for her who grew up in the war-torn era, she had seen all the relatives around her leave one by one, and now losing this friend, for her, It's not unbearable either.When she was crying, she secretly glanced at An Jie beside her.

Her husband's face was so pale that there was no blood, and there was a terrible expression in his light gray eyes that she had never seen before.Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Anjie didn't say anything, not even a word about Daisy's death, just stood in front of the window of the space capsule, staring at the dead planet. "There are a total of 13 million living people! They all turned into ashes in an instant!! What kind of world is this, what is this world!..." There are also relatives on this planet, among the crowd who rushed back after hearing the bad news Someone couldn't help crying out in grief and indignation. "Is there no other way to solve the problem besides killing people? Don't those big figures know other languages ​​besides war?!" In such an atmosphere, dissatisfaction spread quickly. "Ha... If they have relatives in Crete, let's see if they will pour gunpowder there without any scruples! Those manipulative pigs!" A particularly excited person yelled. An Jie's expression also gradually began to change. He clenched his fists with both hands and pressed them tightly against the window frame. Hearing the comments and scolding from others, the corners of his mouth twitched—suddenly, Montessey turned around abruptly, With his usual vigorous skills, he punched the guy on the bridge of the nose with his mouth! "What are you! You deserve to scold the Marshal of the Empire like this?" Aimei screamed and jumped up and grabbed her husband's arm, but Montesi, who was always calm and gentle, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, seeing the other's nosebleed splashing on her hand, she still roared in a low voice: "There is something wrong with you!" Can you say it again?" "I, I..." The man was frightened by the opponent's fierce aura, and started to stammer for a while. "Anjie? Anjie? What's the matter with you?" Aimei was also frightened by her husband, and pulled him aside forcefully, "They are scolding the Marshal of the Empire and the Governor of the Alliance—what does it matter to us?" After all, this is still the domain of the Alliance of Independent Planets, and the freedom of speech is far greater than that of the military empire.Anjie Montesi didn't speak, looked at his new wife, sighed suddenly, and finally sat down peacefully, looking at the bilge of the alloy in a trance. "However—these big men are really hateful! I, I thought that Governor Hein was a good man—Anjie...they killed Dai!" Aimei suddenly couldn't help crying again, Looking at the dead planet outside the cabin, "An Jie, they killed Dai!" She covered her face and cried bitterly. "Wrong...they didn't want to kill Daisy...it was my fault—I killed her..." Suddenly, a word that was almost inaudible came out of Montesi's mouth, "If I wish I hadn't left her for my honeymoon... I really shouldn't have left her for a moment... it was my fault..." Burying his head in his hands, he was silent for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Monty's mouth, "Okay—since I made a mistake, I will go back and accept the corresponding punishment...I'm so sorry, Aimei." "Anjie?" Aimei looked up at her husband in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" However, her husband didn't answer anything, but unexpectedly reached out and hugged her in the cabin!There were countless strangers in the cabin, but An Jie hugged her like no one else. "Aimei, I love you." He suddenly said this sentence to her again with the same tone when he proposed to her. Ai Mei smiled, thinking that this was a sign of her husband seeking peace after a few days of cold war—she never imagined that this was the last farewell for her husband "Anjie Montesi". That night, the signed divorce agreement was left behind, and "Anjie Montesi" disappeared forever in the Milky Way like water vapor—just as it suddenly appeared in front of her and Daisy back then, leaving no trace disappeared! Losing her best friend and closest lover at the same time, Aimei struggled alone in the troubled times. Occasionally recalling the life with Daisy four years ago, she suddenly felt that those days were actually a kind of happiness that was out of reach—— At that time, there was at least one person who depended on her for life. However, now she has to bear everything alone, struggling to survive and looking for her missing husband. "Your name is so interesting—Angel! Whose angel are you?" "Does that still need to be said? Of course it is the guardian angel of you two ladies." "Hee hee...Mr. Montesi is really good at talking!" "Really—God couldn't bear to watch you two weak girls being devoured by the flames of war, so he sent me to your side to protect you until the day when the light of peace reappears..." ... When the child in her womb was born into this bloody galaxy in the flames of war, the lonely woman couldn't help but burst into tears—Anjie, what happened to you and where did you go? Poor Mrs. Aimee Montesey did not realize until nearly fifty years later that her husband, "Ange Montsey," had been court-martialed by the Empire, after only eleven days of leaving her. Secret execution! When she found the pale golden name "Clark Sonas" on the monument of the famous general in the Imperial Mausoleum, when her old and dry hand finally touched his cold tombstone, she endured half a century of tears In the dirt of his grave. "Anjie... Anjie!" she whispered to the guardian angel sleeping underground. Next to her, her nineteen-year-old red-haired granddaughter is looking at her grandmother in surprise and bewilderment... That year was already the 85th year of the cosmic calendar. Just as she had known Daisy de Moore for several years but didn't know the red-haired girl's extraordinary past, she didn't have the slightest clue about the man named "Anjie Montesi" who suddenly appeared in front of them in troubled times. I only know that it is a businessman from a distant planet who was stranded on the planet Crete because of the war, met them in the refugee camp and became friends. During the more than forty years since her husband left, she has been searching hard and wanted to know the truth of all the facts.When the true face of history gradually appeared, Mrs. Montecis was surprised to find that the ordinary red-haired girl who was exiled with her in troubled times actually had such a prominent background and a legendary past! That ordinary female companion was actually the fiancée of the Marshal of the Empire. However, even though she knew Daisy's true identity, she still couldn't find any information about her husband—Anjie Montesey was a person who never existed!The past experiences he mentioned are all false, there is no evidence of this person's existence anywhere, and of course, there is no news about his disappearance. It wasn't until the 84th year of the cosmic calendar, when the batch of top-secret documents began to be lifted due to aging reasons, that she suddenly saw that familiar face in the vast sea of ​​old documents! However, under the familiar face is a completely unfamiliar name and military rank: "Clark Sonas (cosmic calendar 09-34), military ID number: E027T&B87001, military rank: brigadier general. He was once the deputy commander of the T&B Special Forces of the Imperial Air Force Marine Corps. He committed serious crimes during the top-secret mission. For dereliction of duty, he was secretly executed by a military court on August 9th, 34th year of the universe calendar, and was later buried in the Cemetery of Famous Generals of the Empire with the permission of Marshal Phidias. "My file is frozen, and the time limit for unfreezing: 50 years." —— Attached below is a secret transfer order signed with the name of "Bishah von Phidias" and an execution order with the same autograph! The historical fragments glowed with a cold light, and her husband's calm and gentle face was reflected in it—"Anjie Montesi", who claimed to be a free trader, but was actually the captain of the Imperial Special Forces! "Oh? Who am I? Of course I am the guardian angel of the two ladies - God sent me to guard you in the flames of war, until the day when the light of peace reappears..." After the battle of Liston-Santi, they managed to escape from the unprecedented intense gunfire.In the crowded refugee camp, the tall brown-haired man suddenly appeared in front of the two girls, and greeted them with a smile—as if he was a friend who had known them for many years. From then on, this man named "An Jie" really became the guardian of the two of them, protecting the two weak women in the flames of war, passing through the hail of bullets, just like protecting the two who were accidentally involved in the battle. The boat in the rapids will not capsize.He even used his body to block the stray bullets shot at the red-haired girl in order to protect Daisy when he crossed the war zone and entered a safe zone. At that time, Aimei didn't know that this brown-haired man was actually the vice-captain of the special forces of the military empire. After the Battle of Liston-Santi, Marshal Phidias issued a top-secret order to send him here. , to protect the red-haired friend beside her, his fiancée. He is just the guardian angel of Daisy alone - with a secret mission, even if he sacrifices his life during the war, he must complete the order from the highest level of the imperial military! However, because he fell in love with the petite partner next to the red-haired girl, he took Aimei under his full protection.But the cruel thing is that when the crisis came, the decision he made had to be to abandon Aimei and save the red-haired girl! This is the norm that he must abide by as a soldier. For decades, she has been jealous of Daisy, always thinking that the person An Jie loves the most is actually her friend.This terrible jealousy eroded her originally pure and kind heart like poison, so much so that when she knew that Dai was dead, she couldn't help smiling!That red-haired girl once took care of her like that, and smiled at herself as gently as her older sister, but——she actually guessed her good friend with such despicable thoughts! However, 50 years later, when the truth was revealed to the world, guilt and shame also began to erode her heart like poison. However, for those who have passed away, what can she do to make up for her misunderstanding and malice? In the same year, a book that shocked all parties: "Song of Blood and Fire-Memoirs of Marshal Kennan" was launched by the National Publishing House. Over the years, in order to track down the whereabouts of her husband, Mrs. Montessey has already developed the habit of paying attention to the current situation and politics, paying attention to all official and unofficial news.Of course, the 71-year-old Mrs. Aimee Montessey sat in an easy chair and carefully read page by page of this memoir written by the fourth Marshal—— As the most trusted subordinate of Marshal Bisha von Phidias, Marshal Kennan described in detail the third Marshal of the Empire he knew in the first half of his memoirs, many of which were unknown to outsiders .However, to the surprise of the 71-year-old man, there is no official mention of the red-haired girl who had a huge impact on the life of the marshal! ——Just like all official historical works in the past, the daughter of the general who was once the fiancée of the imperial marshal and later defected was gently erased from the official history by all those who knew the inside story.No one remembered her, and no one mentioned her. In order to maintain the radiant and perfect image of Marshal Phidias, what the red-haired girl got was that she was deliberately buried and forgotten by coincidence. "Crack." The book slowly slipped from the old man's hand and fell on the wooden floor. The setting sun in the afternoon lightly shone in, enveloped this weather-beaten old man, such a warm light... In that light, she suddenly felt like crying. "Grandma, grandma! It's time to eat!" The granddaughter's sweet cry suddenly came from my ear, her red hair flashed like fire at the door of the study, and she said with a smile, "Grandma's favorite kale salad is here at noon! " Red hair... Looking at the naive nineteen-year-old granddaughter, the corner of the old man's mouth twitched, and suddenly something shiny rolled down on the sleeve of his clothes.Dai, Dai... Now even Mei Li is already your age... In a few years, when I die too, who will remember you? Who can rescue your life from the flames of war and ruins, and let everyone know your existence? "Grandma? Grandma?" Mei Li looked at grandma's suddenly sad face in surprise, and asked softly at a loss, her eyes swept to the cover of the book that fell on the ground, and she looked at the old man in puzzlement—— Why does grandma cry when reading such a book? "No. You can't let her be lost in history like this..." Suddenly, she heard her grandma finally muttered a word, and she bowed down to pick up the great man's memoir, "Dai." I want to do something for that red-haired girl; I want to give her her proper place in that period of history; I want her to remain in the memory of future generations—together with her brother Bixia who is the leader of the generation, in the people It was passed down from word of mouth to hundreds of years later. Five years later, that is, in the 89th year of the Cosmic Calendar, a historical work titled "The First Year of the Cosmic Calendar to the 40th Year of the Cosmic Calendar" was published.Due to the sufficient historical materials, detailed textual research, and novel and bold arguments, this book has attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it was released. The author of the book is signed as: Aimee Montesi—a name completely unfamiliar to the historian circle. All readers have noticed that the name "Daisy de Moore" appears in the book - this name has been noticed by all scholars in the past when researching history, but due to various limitations of materials and external conditions It has never been explored in depth.That's a taboo name. This book has aroused considerable repercussions in the realm of the empire where speech is gradually being freed. When the book won the highest honor in the country's publishing industry: the Trier Award, people were surprised to find that an old man appeared on the podium—so late that he almost fell asleep and died underground. "For this book, I have prepared for nearly 50 years..." At the award ceremony, the voice of the silver-haired old man was slightly choked, "I would like to dedicate this to my husband and my friend from 50 years ago: Daisy Miss de Moore." Daisy de Moore! This name has undoubtedly been forgotten for nearly half a century. If most of you here are not historians, I am afraid that almost no one will have the slightest impression of this name!However, when the guests were discussing in low voices, there was a crisp sound of a glass breaking suddenly from the VIP seats in the first row! The place where everyone's eyes focused was the 80-year-old former marshal of the empire: Ulysses Kennan.Hearing that name, the old marshal, who had experienced many battles and seen countless turmoil, suddenly had an expression of incomparable shock and astonishment on his face. He pushed aside the support of the attendants and stood tremblingly from the VIP seat. Get up and walk over. "You, are you the one who claims to have Miss Moore's diary and relics?" The old marshal stared fixedly at the female historian with white hair on the stage, with complicated eyes. "That's right. It turns out that Your Excellency has received my letterhead..." Mrs. Aimee Montessey smiled faintly, nodded to the old marshal, and then ended her speech to the scholars in the audience: "Everyone , if nothing else, I expect my next book to appear in two years' time--consisting mainly of the life-history of my good friend Miss Daisy de Moore--which will, I believe, fill the There is a gap in today's historical research." The historians were stunned at first, and then began to whisper excitedly——Dess de Moore! For those who bury their heads in history all day long and want to faithfully record everything, this name is undoubtedly full of mystery and uncertainty—because there are too few and too few materials left, and they are still alive. The few people who knew the inside story all chose to remain silent. But now, finally someone who has grasped the truth of history is going to come out and lift the veil covering that girl! "Mrs. Montessey, Mr. Kennan said that it would be a great honor for Mrs. Aimee Montessey to come to his house some other day if she is free to visit him." When the awards ceremony was over, Mrs. Aimee Montessey walked to the door Received a polite transfer from an attendant. "Okay, I'm also going to see the old marshal." Mrs. Montessey smiled slightly, looking thoughtfully at the crimson sky of Coppel, "There is no need to change the date, if it is not too presumptuous, I'm going to visit the house today." In the spacious living room, the sunset reflected everything in a blush. The old man who once took over the military power of the empire after Phidias slowly turned around from the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the approaching old woman, and said in a low voice. Greeting: "Mrs. Montessey?" "No, sir, in fact, you should call me 'Mrs. Sonas'—" Mrs. Montessey said quietly, "because my husband is the deputy commander of T&B of the Imperial Air Force Marine Corps: Clark Brigadier General Sonas." "Sonas?... Oh, my God, Sonas!" Kenan's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he had been stabbed by something, "You, you got the information about Miss Moore from Sonas. information?" "Your Excellency Kennan, it's been almost 52 years since we last met?" Mrs. Montessey didn't answer this question directly, but asked a question naturally.The old marshal hesitated for about 3 or 4 seconds, but in his still flexible brain, he never remembered where he had seen this unknown woman before. He was silent for a while, and a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his old face. "In the 37th year of the cosmic calendar, I was honored to see Marshal Phidias and His Excellency who came to inspect that year in the nursing home of the refugee camp on the planet Sianti." I still don't really remember seeing Kenan Mrs. Montessey finally added in detail, "At that time, Daisy and I had just evacuated from Crete, but because we missed the last spaceship, we were stranded on the planet Santi. Unfortunately, Daisy was in the air raid She was injured in the right leg, and she was stranded in the infirmary of the air port—after your inspection, you personally instructed her to be admitted to a field hospital with much better conditions." The detailed description surprised the old marshal of the empire—this is something that only those who have personally experienced it can clearly understand!This woman turned out to be Daisy's close friend! The hand of the old man holding the cane trembled slightly, as if the flames of hunting and hunting were rekindled in front of his eyes. "You're still wrong... That instruction was actually the marshal's own intention. However, he didn't want to give it himself... Bi Xia is such a proud person." The tide of memories suddenly flooded the old marshal, looking out the window In the bloody sunset, Kenan's voice seemed to be constantly coming from the other side of the sky—— "Is it the Battle of Liston-Santi? It was a large-scale battle that has rarely been seen in more than ten years... Within the jurisdiction of the government-in-exile, the Marshal and Hein invested a total of more than 40 million troops, right? Because the combat radius is very large, and most of them involve inhabited planets, before the war begins, the Alliance has started to evacuate civilians from the combat zone." "As a result, when the war was about to start, Hein actually sent an urgent telegram. The content seemed to be: 'The logistics department counted the number of refugees, and the person failed to evacuate the war zone in time. I sent someone to look for it, but found nothing. .It is estimated that she is still stranded in Shi Anti. I hereby inform you.'——It should mean something like this..." Kenan recalled with difficulty. "Hein's mind is really hard to figure out... Telling Phidias such news at that time was to disrupt the deployment of the marshal, right? Shi Anti, it was the place where the battle was most intense at that time what." "But he was wrong. Although he received the news, the marshal didn't even think about it, and still launched the attack as planned—I don't know what Phidias thought at the time, but the attack on Shi Anti was more serious than planned. violent!" "The scorched-earth cleaning seemed to completely destroy the place—at that time, I thought that he really didn't care about that person, right? He knew that the person was fleeing somewhere under the gunfire. !" Decades later, there is still indescribable confusion in the old man's tone. "However, when the troops landed on the surface of Shianti, the marshal, who has always been indifferent to the consequences of the war, actually began to inspect the refugee camp with compassion! ——At that time, I vaguely felt: Could it be that Bixia loves that person? ? It’s just that I don’t dare to say it out yet, I’ve always known his temper... How can I allow others to pierce his pride?” "Besides, during this war, for some reason, his temper became more and more bad." "Thank God... When we were patrolling, we finally saw that person—of course, I didn't notice you, the lady next to her..." The old man smiled apologetically, "You survived such fierce artillery fire , What a miracle... However, the person was unconscious, and his leg was injured by the blast. Due to the poor medical conditions, a large area of ​​festering was seen, which was a bit disgusting. However, at that moment, the expression on Phidias' face , clearly and unmistakably told me his true inner thoughts.” Kenan sighed with emotion—— "If he could have lowered his head a little at that time and begged that person to come back to him, then nothing would have happened in the future—however, Bixia is such a person who never bows his head and admit defeat!" "No matter how much you worry about your young partner who is unable to protect you in the flames of war, even though this time it almost became the eternal farewell between the two, the marshal still refuses to say a word! ——Before that person's hospital bed It only stayed for less than three minutes, and before your friend even woke up, he walked away as if nothing had happened." "He's just the marshal who came to 'inspect' the refugee camp... that proud fellow!" Hearing this, even Mrs. Montessey began to smile bitterly—yes, she also remembered: after Daisy woke up, how she said to her red-haired friend excitedly by the side of the sick bed: "Day, I I saw Marshal Phidias just now! It’s the Marshal himself!! It’s a pity that you haven’t woken up yet, otherwise you will be lucky! What a handsome Marshal!” At that time, she clearly remembered that after hearing her words, an extremely complicated expression suddenly appeared on Daisy's dead gray face.However, she just echoed, and said lightly—— "Really? It seems that I don't have the kind of luck to meet big shots..." Dai... It took me 50 years to understand how you felt when you said this!Forgive me, forgive me for my ignorance and carelessness back then, for not being able to share a little bit of worry for you, but blindly dragging and misunderstood you. Excited to see the marshal with my own eyes, I even cut out a photo from the media reports—the one on the top is the marshal inspecting the refugee camp, and behind it... is the ward where Dai is, which can still be seen vaguely His own back and Dai's red hair. Later, due to several times of moving and turmoil, she didn't know where to throw that photo—after Daisy died, Governor Hein of the Alliance returned the things Daisy was carrying at that time.However, in a diary, the yellowed newspaper clipping fell out. Dai, Dai——you have kept it very dearly, is it because, it is the only photo of you and that person in your life? Trapped in her own memories, when Aimei regained her concentration and listened to the old Marshal Kenan's words, she unexpectedly heard her husband's name! "However, what even I don't know is that since that narrow escape, Phidias has assigned Brigadier General Sonas to that person with a top-secret transfer order—he seems to be I'm afraid that this kind of unfortunate thing will happen again, but your friends don't have the good luck to escape the flames of war this time." "Appointing the deputy commander of the special forces T&B to do this kind of thing! Ha, it really is the marshal's has always been willful!" Kenan finally couldn't help but smiled wryly, but his eyes kept staring into the depths of the sunset , "I didn't even think at the time that your friend could be so important—how much that damned woman made the marshal worry!" There was a slight anger in Kenan's voice, and the cane paused vigorously. "Your Excellency seems to have some prejudice against my red-haired friend." Mrs. Montessey smiled wryly. "Prejudice? The marshal's life has been messed up by that person!" The old man sneered, his blue eyes sparkling sharply, "She made the marshal leave so irresponsibly, and the unification of the entire galaxy was delayed for a whole year A year!—a whole year! Do you know how many more people died?!" "——is the wife's husband: Brigadier General Sonas, the fate of his life is also because of that man... What a promising soldier. If he lives to this day, he will at least have the rank of admiral, right? Instead of dying on the battlefield, he ended up being executed in such a disgraceful way!" Hearing her husband's name appeared in the memory of the old marshal, Mrs. Montessey's hands began to tremble slightly. "On the seventh day after that person's tragic death, your husband returned to the army headquarters and demanded to be punished. After understanding the reason, I tried to prevent him from immediately meeting the marshal. You must know that Phidias at that time , is still not in the usual state...he has become another person." Marshal Kennan smiled bitterly, "After your red-haired friend died, for a long time, the marshal was in extreme depression and lost his usual Judgment." "However, Sonas didn't listen to my dissuasion, and still wanted to take corresponding responsibility for his mistakes—result, result..." The old man's brows were tightly frowned, regret and pain were expressed, "As a result, at that time Fei迪亚斯元帅在盛怒之下，竟然真的按照委派时立下的军令状，下令将他以失职罪处死！” “才26岁的索纳斯就这样被枪决了……过了三个月，当元帅终于开始冷静下来时，他对这件事表示了悔意——毕竟，在那种情况下，即使索纳斯准将在那个人身边，也是绝对无法从骇人的反物质爆炸中让她生还的啊。” “于是，虽然是因罪处死，索纳斯的名字还是留在了名将纪念碑上，也被允许下葬在陵园里——然而，他的死，完全是无辜和无价值的。那个人，本来不该带累这么多的人！” “所以……不要再向我提起那个名字——元帅死后的几十年来，我都不想再听到那个名字。”果然，叙述至今，凯南一直以“那个人”来称呼红发少女，从不曾提起她的真名！ “不！黛才是无辜的！”一直安静地听着的蒙特西夫人忽然打断了凯南的话，脱口，“她才是真正无辜的！她难道想带累任何人吗？——她和所有千百万平民一样、是被你们这些军人政客在那场战争里杀害了的最无辜的人！” 凯南元帅被老妇人忽然间爆发的愤怒镇住了，定定看着她。 “斐迪亚斯元帅、海因总督、还有阁下……你们都是了不起的大人物，也都或多或少地接触过她，但是——你们知道黛的梦想吗？知道她也有自己的梦想吗？！你们从来不曾了解过她，却把战争造成的一切推在她的头上！” “如今，阁下是想要运用自己的影响力，永远把黛封闭在历史里吗？你是想为了保持官方塑造的'斐迪亚斯元帅'的形象，而把她抹杀掉吗？” 蒙特西夫人的语气也激动起来，几乎是斥问地对着老元帅道。 “不……我只是不想再提起她而已。”老人温和地回答，历尽沧桑的脸上透出看尽繁华后的从容，“要知道，对我来说，她的存在并不是一件愉快的记忆——而比夏……唉，我觉得比夏这样的人，应该在世人心中保持一种完美的形象，给后来者以向往和信心。” “好，那么就由我来提！”蒙特西夫人冷笑起来，“我要把真实的黛留在历史里，如果老元帅您不乐意的话，除非是永远封住我的笔！”
