Her eyes were no longer on herself.
She is nervous.
It wasn't the same nervousness I had felt when I saw him before. This kind of nervousness was accompanied by a conditioned reflex of fear.
He was fine just now, why did he suddenly become scared?
Lugari thought about what had just happened. There was nothing abnormal. The only abnormal thing was that after she finished talking about Anid, she became like this.
So, she was afraid of Anid?
Lugari didn't intend to ask, at least not now.
Anid had just died not long ago. She was Anid's mermaid before. Mermaids are very loyal and kind creatures. She must miss Anid very much.
She raised her eyes, and the light in them floated like ripples in the water.
She asked him cautiously, "Admiral, do you hate mermaids?"
When she asked this, she subconsciously pursed her delicate lips, and her seaweed-like hair scattered around her body, making her look so well-behaved.
Lugari couldn't help but reach out and stroke her hair.
"Of course not."
He answered affirmatively.
So Junli moved her tail closer again.
She was no longer afraid now, her emotions had come and gone as quickly as they had come.
Lugari had something else to do in the afternoon, so he just used his break at noon to rush over from the interstellar army to check on her. Now that he was sure that she was fine, Lugari played with her for a while and then left.
An emergency meeting was held in the afternoon, and the topic of discussion was still the Zerg.
The atmosphere of the entire meeting was solemn and heavy. When the soldiers who had died before were mentioned, they all fell silent.
At the end, Lugari was suddenly called by the chief adjutant: "Admiral Lugari, we are deeply sorry for the death of Colonel Anid. He sacrificed himself for the safety of the entire empire. He was undoubtedly great. Everyone in the empire will remember him and those fallen soldiers."
Lugari replied, "It is our responsibility to protect the empire. Anid should be proud of himself. Of course, I am proud of him too."
When his name was called, he knew what the chief lieutenant meant. He continued, "As an admiral, I also have the duty to protect the empire. In critical moments, I, Lugari, will do my utmost to protect the empire, even if it means sacrificing my own life."
The tone of his speech was neither high nor low, neither humble nor arrogant, but the content was inspiring.
The price of sacrificing one's life is too heavy, and no one is really willing to sacrifice themselves. But if there is no beginning, no one will dare to do it. Lugari is such a beginning.
He sat there like a luminous being, his uniform becoming his armor.
Others were inspired and followed suit.
The Chief Deputy looked at them and choked up, saying, "The Las Empire is more peaceful and beautiful because of you."
At dusk, Junli was still waiting in the garden for Lugari to come back.
It doesn’t matter whether she can wait or not, as long as it’s time for dinner, she will go in to eat.
Fortunately, Lugari did come back early today.
Although it was only the second time he saw her in the garden, Lugari's heart seemed to be healed, as if mermaids were born with this ability. Lugari quietly walked to her side and, just like yesterday, picked a flower and pinned it in her hair.
Jun Li was delighted to see him.
He asked, "Do you like these flowers so much?"
She shook her head and replied, "I'm waiting for the Admiral."
