The soles of the military boots were slightly hard, and made a clear sound when he stepped on the smooth stone slabs on the ground. His steps were very steady and the intervals were consistent, showing that he was a strict and well-trained soldier.
"General, this is it."
The police officer introduced them a little nervously and respectfully, and then several soldiers followed the officer into this ordinary police station. They waited quietly without saying a word.
"You stay outside, I'll go in alone. Also, Salina cast a soundproof barrier."
"Yes, sir!" A female officer mage answered, and then a light blue transparent barrier opened, covering the corridor and the small police station.
Lettice sat indoors, watching a figure walking over to the railing. Her feet were wearing black lace-up military boots, and above them were tightly wrapped black pantyhose. The material was slightly thick, which showed off her figure while also having a good thermal insulation effect.
This mature figure placed a chair outside the railing and sat down directly, with his legs naturally crossed and raised.
"Long time no see, Lettice."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lettice looked up in surprise, looking at the mature and capable female general. Behind her ears were a pair of curved black threaded horns, like a great demon entering the human world, giving people a strong impact.
Although her figure and appearance had changed a lot from the past, Letis still recognized that this was her former roommate at school, the timid and shy girl from the Goat Horn Tribe, Nia.
"Niya?"
"Well, yes." She bent her fingers, placed her arms on the armrest, and lightly supported her face. She looked at her friend who was dressed strangely in the room. Her brown eyes stared for a long time, as if she was recalling many past events.
"Are you surprised? I think you and I are both."
Compared to the past, Niya is not timid at all now. Instead, she has a kind of confidence and calmness that comes from the heart. It seems that everything is under control, and she exudes a powerful aura.
"I looked up Lettice's information. To be honest, I was very happy when I saw you settled in Solander. At that moment, I even wanted to meet you again and catch up on the past."
"But this year's experience has made me a little disappointed in you, Letis." The general of the Sheep Horn Tribe stared at his former friend.
"Really?" Lettice looked at her friend and then lowered her head. She didn't want to argue, and felt there was nothing worth arguing about.
Seeing that her friend seemed to have given up and accepted her fate, Niya felt a faint anger rising in her heart for some reason. Perhaps it was because she saw her past self, or perhaps she was a little angry at her friend for not fighting back. But she also knew that this was wrong. This friend was not a soldier trained by her, and she could not use the forced correction method of the army.
There was still a big gap between her and Luo Lan. If Luo Lan Hill were here, he would probably be able to gently untie the knot and anxiety in his heart like water. She closed her eyes slightly, sighed in her heart, and then opened her eyes again.
"Are you going to keep going like this, Lettice?"
The woman in the fur coat in the room lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Taking another deep breath, Niya stood up, and with a flick of her finger, she melted the door lock apart, then opened it and walked into the small room.
She walked slowly to Lettice's side and then sat down side by side with her.
"My tone was a little harsh, I'm sorry." Then the two of them leaned against each other gently.
"Nothing." Lettice wiped her eyes.
Nia leaned against Lettice's side, looked up at the gray-blue ceiling, and spoke slowly.
"Actually, that day, I had just returned to Solander, and when I was reminiscing with my former colleagues, they talked about the latest fashionable clothes in the capital, and then they mentioned your name."
"When I heard that, I was very surprised and happy because I hadn't heard from you for a long time after graduation."
"So I found your information. Seeing you working in a factory after graduation due to the post-war liquidation, I felt a little worried. You used to be so proud in school, and as the daughter of a wealthy and noble family, such a huge change in life must be difficult for you to accept. Perhaps, unknown to me, Lettice also shed a few tears."
"Later, watching you flee all the way, trekking through a long journey and finally settling in Solander, I couldn't help but feel happy and wish you well. I hope you can survive these difficult days."
"Finally, I saw what I had experienced this year, and it made me feel an urgent sense of regret."
"You've clearly come through such difficult circumstances and experiences, so why, in the end, do you push yourself into such decadence and self-destruction?"
"You've got the wrong person. I'm actually like that. A proud and arrogant greenhouse flower. I don't have any noble qualities, and I can't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about me." Lettice's voice came intermittently from the other side of the room.
"Didn't we say in school that we should promote our favorite things to the world?"
"No, that's just an excuse and a cover-up. I just simply want to be praised and complimented by others."
"But Lettice did a great job, didn't she? People really liked your clothes before. If you truly bring joy and happiness to everyone, why bother worrying about the starting point?"
"I'm very petty. I can't stand people saying bad things about me. I hate people who criticize me."
"Don't worry, everyone has this." Niya's voice softened.
"But I can't help but tell them to shut up. I don't like people talking about me like that. Why can they judge me so condescendingly? If I don't accept it with an open mind, it's like I'm a bad person."
