Chapter 168: A name but not his

"Admiral Leon Vich, General. I apologize that I could not meet you and give you company for the naval base inspection when you came to visit Seidel last time." Admiral Vich, the Terran navy soldier, explained further when he found that the young General of Archess gave a quizzical look as a response.

Upon hearing a more detailed introduction, Canillas soon offered Admiral Vich a salute, which required him to pull his right hand that wrapped Joanna's away before continuing with a handshake.

"It is an honor to meet you, Admiral Vich." Canillas then returned the greeting of the Admiral.
