In the war camp, what was once a prosperous place where people who wanted to get away from the war lived, again life was giving them a hard blow before already their sad life of many, people who by obligation had to wield a firearm and fight for their homeland in different situations and problems that perhaps many failed to understand. The attack was already done, the beautiful area where it seemed to be out of everything, right now there is nothing existing in it, just a horrible and chaotic place, where only those who are prepared or at least already accepted in the world in which they live deserve to stand in this land full of blood.
The bodies for sure there was no trace of them, there was not a physical trace of them that once existed, or at least if there was something left, it would be human remains completely destroyed, only the records would be a witness of their existence, but if you did not even achieve something that deserves to be mentioned in this world, for sure you died without anyone knowing it, only your close ones were the only witnesses that you once lived and you were there until the end.
『What is your name child? 』
That military chief who was sorry for how the events were done, asked the little boy who was extremely tired in his arms, he was so tired, cold, his body was shivering, his eyes were being closed, he was totally tired that he could no more, neither to escape nor to continue fighting.
『Mikel....』
『Mikel, all right Mikel, let's get out of here, I'll take you to a safe place, I know I have no right to say it but, you have to try hard from now on』.
He was really being weighed down by all this, the military chief happened to look around and how this area was completely destroyed, the houses not even a trace was there, the track that was once here is cracked and cratered, the green grass that was once here was either burnt or covered by the debris left by the attack. Before he turned around to go back from where he came from, the same soldier with the name Ann, who pointed at Mikel barely looking at him was addressing his boss,
『Why are you willing to help him, we already declared that these people are our enemies, they didn't come to help us when we asked for it, they told us to wait while we were being attacked, our attack towards this small area is more than justified, we decided that if there were people living here, we would show no mercy, either it was them or our people would continue to suffer, we already agreed with our attackers, in war there are no exceptions, if that child was here at the time, his fate was to die from the beginning』.
He had made clear his words and his way of thinking about the situation, the attack towards this place seems to have its base, the other military that were in the place began to whisper among themselves and talk to each other, you could hear that some were in agreement, since the same thing happened to them, they saw with their own eyes to see their people die, others said that they will expand to here to have land for their people, they need all the help possible, if no one pays attention to them then they will have to take measures.
『Additionally, that child reacted with hatred towards you, don't you think he will have resentment towards you and us? If you take him to our lands to live and grow up, he will grow up with a hatred towards our homeland, no matter how many times we explain it to him, for him we are the bad ones, just as we see others as bad, we are alone, maybe now he is a child, but in the future we do not know what he could be, I will not allow someone who hates my history and what I lived through to step on my lands only to discard us like everyone else』.
Again he had not been silent, this soldier Ann had a radical way of acting because of everything he lived through, he learned with everything from the war and own experiences that not one does not deserve the help of another if the latter did not give it previously, his way of trust before others and his own was also somehow extreme.
『I know it very well, but what can we do, it hurts a lot and I am in the same way upset, not for something we decided to make this movement to be able to recover, they forced us to decide, but if you love your homeland and your people so much, I think you are forgetting something, this child is also one of ours, only he did not have the opportunity to see beyond what his eyes allowed him, he is just what you see, a little boy who did not know anything and ended up in this ugly end, for sure he asked for help and nobody came or maybe as in our case, they promised him things that never happened, if you see him like that with the way he favors you, doesn't it make you want to help him? 』
The military chief turned to look at the soldier Ann who had previously addressed him, he was also determined but at the same time sorry for his actions, but there was no other way, he put himself in Mikel's shoes and at the same time he remembered his people, it doesn't have to be necessary for them to be like them, It only has to be a person who lost everything to be able to sympathize with him, in times of war who because of it, many people believe that everyone is their enemy and do not see the most obvious thing about it, they generate hatred or create their own hatred to continue doing what they do, others create the feeling of resentment, others the feeling of fighting and battle, but of course there are also true feelings, such as revenge and sadness, which would only lead one to the worst way, many take action for what they do and see it right, Mikel right now hates these people but that hatred makes no sense, he doesn't know why this happened in the first place, he doesn't know why he is in that state, he doesn't know why everything they said was a lie, it was literally without context and his hatred would also be a meaningless one, that's what happens and you just get the doubt in your head of why?
『Why? you have your own answer to your actions, but I ask you not to involve anyone who knows nothing about it, this child survived and we should be very thankful that at least we didn't kill and saved a life, if we ignore it, we would only be true heartless monsters』.
The Chief was about to finish his words, where Mikel seemed to react to something, he was trying to remove his hand to the ground that seemed that at any moment it was going to fall, this was seen by the Chief and he realized that there was something on the ground, he picked it up without further ado and realized that it was a destroyed spinning top and that only part of the half was left, you could see that the tip of the handle was destroyed, broken, this toy that was no longer useful for anything, for some reason it was loved by the child Mikel, the military chief saw how the child did everything possible to take it with his hands, where without saying anything he gave it to him and quickly Mikel began to touch it, to hug it with how weak he was, and it was not only the destroyed spinning top, but he was also taking out of his pocket the yo-yo that he could recover from his house, he no longer had the strength to continue crying, he would only fall asleep from exhaustion.
『I'll get him back.... let's play again one day...Didiel....』
Finally he fell asleep that it even looks like he had died, the Military Chief as if trying to make the minimum movements to not wake him up, he was calling his soldiers to tell them the change of plans that they will suffer. The Chief told them to continue with what was agreed, their objective with the attack was to dislodge in a radical way this whole area, being close to their homeland and that there is almost nothing, it was the best way to be able to expand before the battle of great losses they had, after the bombing they have the order to check the area to confirm that there is no one here, they will expand a few more kilometers without colliding with the nearest city of the nearby district, they will make this place all their land and use it to be able to shelter other people.
『(This was a privileged place? Well look what we did with your paradise, we are suffering and you are important people who are well off and live far from the war, we will take this place for our people and this way there will be no more favoritism or classism, it is a great area, we would have taken advantage of your houses but if we had come only with weapons, we would have lost to the military forces of this place, the bombing was the only thing they lent us, the only thing they gave us, the only solution we had, we were not allowed to lose in this mission).』
Ann was still thinking about himself and above all while looking with his own eyes the chaos he generated, it gave him joy? sadness? doubt? happiness? he only destroyed things for his good cause, after reviewing the plans they had, the Military Chief was going to withdraw from the place to put Mikel to safety, with utmost respect everyone said goodbye to their Chief while they returned to carry their weapons and be alert to any danger that came.
『Mikel, you are a lucky man, I hope you live much longer than us』.
Meanwhile in the area where the bombing took place, the soldiers were checking the whole place, while others were snooping around, or as it would be better to say they were looting the little that was left, others were lifting the debris and could see the challenges of immobile faces, giving to understand that here lived people who had a lot of money, while others when searching in the rubble, they found corpses that were totally unrecognizable, the expression of many of these before such an image was normal, they were not astonished or frightened, by words of several of them said that they have seen worse things, but even some said.
『Receive what we have received, damned people who exclude even their own people』.
The name of this soldier who seems to be taking a little relevance for his personality, was called Ann, this to summarize from very small had joined the army by obligation not of his country, if not his district where he lived, as it was being invaded silently by external forces who wanted the power of these, being a small district of France, they feel that they were not taken relevance and even their pleas were ignored, since the rest of France was focused on other wars that had more weight in the history and decision of the world. Ann seeing that he was fighting alone and seeing his people fall, asking for help and no one coming, he took a great resentment to his own people that right now with the passing of the years, he would not mind the option to rise as a nation of their own, you can only count on yourself and no one else, and it was not only him, many important people, mayors and politicians of the district, felt lonely also raised the same doubts, before the pressure they lived needed drastic measures.
『Hey, a person is approaching us』.
『Is he armed? is he accompanied?』
『No, he's walking from far away, he's only wearing a suit, his hands are loose, if he walks with that same speed, I'd say he'll be here in about 30 min』.
A colleague of Ann's was informing him about this, Ann himself looked through the viewfinder and if it was true, a person in the distance was walking the alone towards where they were, this seemed strange to him as it is very risky, he took a good look at it and quickly came to a quick conclusion.
『We have to go ahead too, that suit only indicates that it is someone important, this time I will calm down, we will listen to what he has to say, what our Chief said I would like to get to understand him』.
Ann was returning the visor to her partner while the others were hurrying to check the area to walk even more to the front, this could come good as it could come bad, Ann was more than doubtful about this, how she will handle things because she can already make an idea in her mind, it was from far away but she can make sense of it, that person who was coming walking and alone, was Adrien Schuman, Didiel's dad. Who this one had pending things to do in this place.
-------------------------------------------------
Just after his son had taken the help transport, Adrien had been informed about the situation of all this, that Mikel was heading towards the enemies and where his home was, Adrien was thinking it clear, what could be the best solution, everyone is important to him and if he can he would save a life, but taking that risk would only endanger the lives of the others that for sure, if it even gets over extended, the battle could come this far and all would certainly be lost.
『Already give the order for all the military to return, we can't risk so much for one life』.
Adrien had said, even though he is not the military chief in the same way because of the position he holds and his importance in the country, the military would pay equal attention to him, he would go back to help people evacuate by taking the transports, but the military chief that since the night before since they were told that the enemy forces were coming, he started to think about something, who could be this enemy that they had not foreseen, the attack with the bombings was sudden and almost nobody saw it coming, how the information that could not leave France reached the enemy and without realizing it they made an enemy with someone they did not know they had something, a sudden attack? Is this the beginning of a war? The Military Chief could not sleep to answer all his doubts and put a fixed point to this, if they do not know who to attack or who did all this, nothing can be done then, who would they talk to and agree with, the attack came from the west, but what is in the west, there are obviously their districts but far from there there is only sea, how could they receive an attack from that direction, the Military Chief was breaking his head that he would need medicine to calm down.
『Better first I go step by step, the place where they attacked was only that safe area that was not so big, the rest is pure meadow that extends for miles, at first that place was desolate and no one took importance, so it was decided that there is a safe place for important people and resources, no one knew of that whereabouts nor the enemy countries nor the friendly and neighboring countries, it was a blind spot where we have planted, but even someone knew of that place, the safe area and decided to attack it. .. 』-『The date must also be important and that is where we are looking at, an April 5, 1950 the safe area was attacked, just the day Didiel Schuman's birthday, just the day his family was gathering to celebrate, from that information we have come to the conclusion that their goal was to wipe out the Schumans, but if not, what else could be the purpose? uhm....The only way the information could have been leaked is that those who knew about it told someone and the word was passed on to the attacker, but the only ones who knew about it were those who work in the house and...』
At that moment the Military Chief something came to his mind, in these days that they have been in the temporary shelter, he saw Didiel very close and worried about his friend Mikel, he always looked for encouragement and gave him all the support possible, besides that when he was in the meeting with Adrien, Adrien also told him about the Ajax family, that he died in the combat and that said person was Mikel's father.
『The only family that Mr. Didiel must have met was the Ajax family, I remember that last name... Yes! He is the same young man who fought in the war under my guidance, the same one who asked me to leave the war years ago as he was feeling bad, he contacted me years ago so that he could live in that well off area outside the war, with that you had a son Ajax, I would have liked to congratulate you...after that came the Cold War but from there on I don't remember any more information』.
The Military Chief had been left with nothing else to think about, in his office he would look for some report or information that would be useful, but of course, he is not in his office nor in the central agencies, all the information is there, the only thing in his office is the current information that they could collect in these days, waiting until they return would take days, Knowing who is the enemy is important in any war to avoid making mistakes, but quickly the Military Chief remembered something, it was not only Ajax who asked to live there, but other soldiers who were his companions, some managed to survive but very badly wounded, quickly the Military Chief would stand up and even if the sun had not set he would go to the different tents to ask for Ajax.
『Ajax? yes, we are artillery buddies or rather we were...what did he do after living here? Well as you know the cold war started, so our duty was calling us, the western district was under attack so we soldiers who were nearby went to help them as much as we could for years, we managed to control part of the border but protecting the other end, the port was impossible, we had an obligation to help, but our lives were worth more according to Ajax, we heard that they asked for help and we contacted them, but I think the answer they gave you was not what they expected 』
Ajax's companion kept talking more about it, this was very helpful for the Military Chief who did know about the attack from the west and that they had received a notification for help, of course they gave it importance and took the necessary measures for it, but the answer they gave them as the guy said, was not in very good taste. The Military Chief was leaving to return to his office to continue answering their questions.
『Yes, we knew that the western district was in a guerrilla war, but in those moments we were focused more on other things that we have left it to another plane, in addition to informing us, that guerrilla war began by protest riots, war as such was not, it should have been controlled with the soldiers that the Chief of that district asked for help, but it seems that it was extended much more than I imagine, but perhaps they could not control their own people? no...the bombings...that they do not have in that district, the only thing that I can think of is that someone external took advantage of the disturbance that was generated to attack with force, camouflaged in some way without giving us account....that would explain their force of weapons, the bombs, but that still does not answer then why the people that saw my men, they say to take our same colors....Ahhhh!!!!! This is very difficult!!!! We are attacked by our own men or someone third party!!!!! 』
But quickly the Military Chief started to think of another solution, he went back to the topic of how the information was leaked as it is the key to why this attacked this place, the Ajax Family was invited to Didiel's birthday, so they knew the information, and as Ajax was still a soldier at disposal, he was doing his job trying to bring some peace to that attacked district, at some point, on some day, he must have commented about the birthday to the other people, if that place was already being attacked, then it would not be difficult to suppose that the enemies were walking freely in the streets. Someone heard him, knew the location and attacked that day. The Military Chief seems to have come up with one of the possible solutions as to how the information was leaked and that was Father Ajax.
Quickly with that information it was already morning, he managed to come up with this with the mind he was given, he had to inform Adrien about the fact, he ran to give him the information, listening to him, Didiel's father sighed saying that it must have been what really happened.
『Didiel must have told his friend about his birthday and he told his father about it, also in the letters he sent me he said that he was invited to his friend's birthday and that he invited him to his own, from there I investigated who the Ajax family was and I found out that he was helping the guerrilla in the Arnicania district which is to the west』.
『Yes yes, Arnicania, but I still don't understand why one of our districts would attack us...』
『I am always informed of what is going on in the country, Arnicania suffered a guerrilla as a result of the little supply they had and their economy was collapsing, I sent them an announcement that I would help them as soon as possible when all this is over, they are not the only ones who have problems in the country and even less in the world, then I didn't hear anything more from it, I thought I had solved the problem』
Adrien had finished, in that that the Military Chief tells Adrien what he believes could have happened, both adults thought it through and especially Didiel's father, since he could not be so wrong, it was said that maybe being so cornered and losing ground, and finding out that there was a land where they could expand, they decided to attack it as a measure where their people could escape.
『If they wanted to escape, why didn't they just travel to other districts, they would be safer there』.
『Hey, you are a military chief and you should understand, escaping in the middle of the war only indicates that you lost, if they left their land, the forces that attacked them would invade the place and proclaim it as theirs, the citizens fought only for our homeland and country so as not to be conquered by others, they asked for help and did not take it as important as they should have, that guerrilla war was a good smoke screen 』.
Everything was taking shape little by little, Arnicania who was being invaded, its people decided to stay and fight for in the name of their country France to not let themselves be defeated, although they asked for help these were left with what was a simple internal dispute, Adrien had everything planned to reactivate the district, but in that case why they were not more direct and say that they invaded them?
『The people of Arnicania are different from the others, besides their accent, they are people that if they can fight and come out victorious by themselves they will do it, they would give anything for their homeland and it would be like that until they can't anymore, if they see that they are in real danger, that's when they ask for help, you should have seen when I got the notification, the guerrilla started 5 months before they sent me the request, the people of Arnicania are too proud, they are a district that if they had the necessary resources they could even rise up independently』-『But that's what we are for, they will know how to fend for themselves and face adversities, but they are closed to others, for that very reason they would not manage to survive this long, they need us if they want to continue living in the same good way before all this started』-『They are our people that I didn't know how to give them the focus they needed and now they deserve all my attention. ...』
Adrien himself with everything the Military Chief told him had already come to a conclusion, everything gave to indicate that the one who was attacking them from the West was Arnicania, who for all this time was one of the best districts to live in France, but even in a prosperous place like them ended up falling into the hands of the war. Adrien gave a communiqué that the last transport with all the civilians had just left, that now it was time for them to leave the place and for everyone to go. The military chief also gave the same order saying that they should also hurry to leave the place.
『Yes, you'd better get out of here, I still have business to do』.
Without further ado said Adrien, this the military chief did not understand, but seeing Adrien's determined gesture, he quickly realized something, that Didiel's father was thinking of going to help them right now, he quickly denied him and that they had better all leave here, he told him that he was an important person for the country, that his death would be a loss for the politics, that he should not risk so much, first it is him and then the others.
『You are confusing me Military Chief, the politically important person is my father, Robert Schuman, I am only his son who was prepared for a position that does not exist yet, as you see it, I am someone replaceable, already prepare someone who is more fit for the position that I have been building and creating all these years of my life』.
『You mean the world leaders project? you are creating that project in order to become one, or at least that's what I have believed all this time』.
『Yes, I would have liked to be the Leader of Europe, I also already contacted other people from different continents to take the position, but in the end I realized that there is someone better for it, people who are one step above me, my father will be the first and then it will be my son, I have everything ready, don't miss Robert Schuman's speech either, there my project will also stand up *smiles*』
Adrien's words were a bit like saying it, like saying his last words even if he doesn't want to do it, since he was a child Adrien lived what was the Second World War and he knows how terrible it can be, also he by his own initiative prepared himself and used everything in his power to create something that can end this and bring finally a peace or at least end all the war, a place where people can live peacefully without the constant fear that you can be attacked from the sky. He did the same with his son, Didiel knew what was going on but never saw it up close, he was learning regarding how the world is and preparing himself in everything to find a solution, somehow Adrien was also trying to raise his son away from what he considers evil.
『My son is better, I know I wasn't a great father to him, but at least I wouldn't want it to be with hate when we meet again, I'm going to go get Mikel, you guys can go』.
This confused the Military Chief a lot, since recently Adrien said that they were going to retire from the place by letting Mikel die, but in this time he has been thinking it through everything that happened, that discussion with his son made him reflect on what he really does and how hard he tried so hard in his life.
『Would you lower yourself to stop being special if you are not able to fulfill what you tried so hard for』.
He clearly remembers his son's words, it hit Adrien so much that he decided to go and save Mikel, but he is right whether his son wants to or not, what's the use of preparing yourself so much mentally and physically, you prepared yourself so much in your whole life if in the end you are not able to save a life that could be the life that in the future will see your achievements.
『Every life is important and my duty is to save as many as I can』.
Adrien would run out of the shelter on his way to the West where the enemy was, the Military Chief would try to stop him with words saying he better retreat, but as if he was a stubborn child doing a trick, Adrien would not listen and would run out of the shelter in a hurry, the Chief would look at this and was gritting his teeth, he cannot believe that Adrien is really acting in a childish way, so without further ado he would give the new order.
『Those who are willing to risk their life!!!! Come with me!!!!』
When he made the call, many soldiers came with a shout, it was more than he thought, but quickly the military chief was proud of his men, so in a simple way, he decided to take a vehicle and to take with him 4 soldiers, the rest had the order to get as far away as they could from the place and guard the transports that had previously departed. In the middle of the road, Adrien was already running, but quickly realized that his shirt was bothering him, without further ado he would unbutton the first button, leaving him with an untidy tie appearance and an exposed collar.
『Fast get in Adrien, I know what you are trying to do, it's really crazy』.
The military chief appeared with the vehicle beside him, which Adrien for the first time felt so alive, he felt tired, let the air hit your face and run in an ungraceful way, for the first time that man was satisfied, no matter how he looks, it seems that the men who trust him will be there to help him.
------------------------------------------------
Returning to where we left off before, Ann and his other companions had approached to make the encounter with Adrien less short, who was at a distance before so as not to put him at risk and not to be considered a risk, he asked the military to put him down and the rest of the way he would walk, this was certainly a total danger for him and the Military Chief gave him to understand it, but Adrien was more than determined.
『I trust people, especially not to be afraid of our own people』.
With those words he had said goodbye to the military, these hidden with their visors were going to watch what was happening, although they were not going to see well due to the distance so that they would not be located. Finally the meeting had materialized, Ann who seems to represent Arnicania and Adrien who was representing the country of France.
『First I want to introduce myself-----』
『We already know who you are, Adrien Schuman, son of Robert Schuman, the truth is I always thought you would look more formal and elegant, or at least that's how I saw you through the viewfinder, but I'm glad to know that an important person like you, can look as burdened as anyone else』.
『Direct to the point, well, better for me, I would like to first check if you are from Arnicania and the ones who attacked this secure area days before』.
He was going to answer their doubts he had with the enemy, who Ann was willing to listen to everything and answer everything, and it was as they had guessed, they are from Arnicania and they were the ones who sent the attack to this place, quickly Adrien was asking of why they did this since if their objective was to kill them then they have failed completely and this opportunity will not be repeated again.
『Kill them? hey it, why do important people think they are everyone's target, we didn't attack because we knew you were there, and if we had known anyway we wouldn't have given a damn, we did it because our people need a place to take shelter or at least have another chance, this place even though it belongs to the neighboring district they don't use it for anything, look at it, we are already far away from the safe area and there is nothing here, just meadow and land, if they don't use it then we could stay here, that would have been perfect, we would have come peacefully if only you hadn't thrown us out of the way』
Ann was more than clear with what really happened, they know perfectly well what are the purposes or origins of why they did all this, from here Adrien was making some sense, but at the same time there were things he was wrong about, so they didn't do the attack because they are the target, but quickly Adrien was turning to Ann.
『I didn't throw them aside, I received their notification and gave them a response as such』.
『The answer that was to ignore us? everyone in Arnicania knows perfectly well what your answer was, in short you said that you were already taking measures to help us, but to wait for a while since you have other pending things to do.... pending things to do? more than protecting your people from themselves and from those who invaded us? really? is it that you don't know how to do your job well, at first we were upset but we quickly understood, we are at war so there must be more important things...important...more important than your people again.... but anyway, we decided to wait while we could solve the problem by ourselves, do you know how much time passed since all this started? 5 months, 5 months where everything was hell and you didn't even know about it until we told you the news』.
『Eh? But if all that you say if it is correct and you could even say it is their fault』.
『Correct you say? of course it is correct, and in that time of 5 months we were invaded by the ..... we made an agreement and I can't say it.... but in any case we were suffering and asking for help where you told us to wait!』
『But what would you like me to do, you just informed us 5 months after everything and that's where I just realized that my measures were not the necessary ones, if you had done it before at the beginning of everything, I would have planned better, but I see that your pride didn't allow you to do that』
It seemed to generate an argument, that always happens, it is not something rare to see, in any agreement where one was harmed, it is always normal to see someone who shouts and is slowly wanting to lose his sanity just for not listening to what he wants. At that Ann at Andrie's words, he was still keeping calm and making every effort to continue the discussion.
『The pride of our people to want to defend France... that's the pride you are talking about... or is it that you don't consider us citizens as such and that's why they didn't pay attention to us all this time, not that they defended the poor, not that they used their power for us, if we asked for help so much, why did it cost them to come and help us, I even know it was a simple problem to solve but we were not the right ones to do it, the enemies were not so many when they invaded us, they came from the sea so their forces could be frightened away. ...if they had come this would not have happened...now they are already establishing themselves in the port and with the purpose of expanding even more, they are voting us out of our own lands, isn't it logical to want to have a place to call home?』
Ann remembering everything that happened, he would want to cry shedding small tears, the other soldiers who were next to him were also saddened by their situation, this made Adrien more sentimental, because when looking at them well, they are not as adults as he imagined, they know how to carry weapons, surely they have been the last compulsory recruits to participate in the war and were short time, but luckily they did not know what war was as such, but for this invasion they had no choice but to really experience it firsthand.
『I...I'm sorry...you're right, instead of waiting to be notified I should look for where there is trouble, it was a mistake on my part』.
『And what, an apology won't bring back what we once were and are....』
Ann stopped gripping her gun and would lower it while trying to hide her face she was crying, these people must have felt abandoned in everything they went through, asking for help from people who know they have the means to do it but not the right guidance, how they must feel. But now Adrien was thinking about something, apparently those enemies took advantage of all this and took over a small place in France, they are literally invading them on the sly, if this continues like this, they will take more possession and a war will be fought for the power of these lands, this was bad for Adrien, but of course, how could they dislodge all that invasion, right now all their resources are being used or they already have plans to be used in other ways, or not even to have a fight between them, maybe just agreeing can be solved, but now they have nothing to offer. Adrien would look at his surroundings, the craters made by the bombing and realized something, breathing the area a bit he also realized something.
『Oil?』
Adrien said and the other Arnicania military listened, these also breathed and the air was weird, as they approached the craters they noticed something incredible, from these seemed to generate or seep a little oil, it was not much to fill even the small craters, Adrien approached one of these, to a crack that seems to be expelling little by little the oil.
『This seems to be an area rich in oil, it was never invaded or populated until now, the bombings must have shaken the earth releasing little by little the oil that was locked up here for years, if we start digging for sure we will find more, we could have a source of oil for a while, do you know how important oil is? we could even become even more capable than we are (with the oil we would have resources and we could share it with other countries and reach many agreements) This is our hope!!!』
Adrien was excited about this discovery, the other Arnicania military didn't understand about this, yes they knew what oil was but the importance seems to be more than just a thick black liquid, Adrien would walk until he was in front of Ann who this without any warning told them.
『Thank you』
Ann didn't understand why Adrien was saying thank you, she would quickly tell him of how can he say such a thing to her after killing many people and destroying this place, but quickly Adrien would answer her.
『I'm just thanking you, I'm still angry with you just like I'm angry with me, but *sigh* that's life, the best thing I can do is to take advantage of what we have, this oil will serve us a lot, even you will no longer have to escape from your home and you can take it back, I promise you from my heart that now this time all my attention will be in being able to help you』.
Before Adrien's words, Ann did not understand about this, it is clear that we have to go on with life, but she does not like the easy way in which he forgot all the bad things and now looks to the future, it contrasts a lot with him and the other soldiers who always have in mind all the ugly things they lived and they are not able to move forward without having to carry all the weight they lost.
『Hey sir, you kind of skip a lot of things to say that then you care about us, seriously can I take your word that this time you will help us? I don't want to lose my home again because of things I didn't know could happen』.
『I promise you, the leader of Europe Adrien trusts you』.
『Europe's leader? What is that?』
Ann did not know why Adrien refers to himself as a title that does not exist yet, to this the adult laughed saying that more in the future he will realize what he is referring to, it seems that everything just went well, this Adrien's military watched from afar, they could only see a few specks but everything indicates that everything went well. The Military Chief was breathing a sigh of relief to see that his friend is fine, since of everything going wrong was more likely, no doubt those who prepared for that work have the most peaceful way to solve problems.
『By the way, I'm looking for a boy, his name is Mikel, have you seen him?』
『Ah, you are looking for him?so...』
Ann was telling him about Mikel's situation, to this Adrien was a little dissatisfied since it seems wrong to him that that child is going to be in a place where things can get worse at any moment, no doubt in any day or year a war can break out if the necessary measures are not taken, in that Ann was asking him if he is his father, but quickly Adrien would answer.
『No, his father is Ajax, I am looking for him since I am in charge of saving him just like my son Didiel wants to see his friend again』.
『Coming here after an attack, yes you are brave Mr. Adrien, but I'm glad then now, before I was a little off in the head, but that the father of that child is still alive, I'm glad I didn't kill a life then』
『No, his father and Mikel's mother did die』.
At this what Adrien said, Ann from how calm he was, turned to being worried about this, these were walking calmly in the direction of the east where they would meet with the military, while Adrien kept talking naturally.
『I could see it with my own eyes, I was going to leave Ajax and Mikel abandoned, I prioritized my family's life more than others, just like you said, I was out of my mind』.
『(You were there? eh?...you were going to abandon your people? ..... How could you prioritize your family more...if you recently said that you would help us first ....)』
『My son really loved that family, he got attached to Mikel, for that same reason when he managed to escape I don't know how from the shelter, my son made quite a fuss, already in the morning when we found out that they were coming here and we still believed that they were the enemy, I said something that displeased me the most at the end, I was going to abandon the child and again prioritize the others』
『(He got away from you? how can you let a child escape?.....eh?...were you going to let him die?...is that what you mean?.....eh?...can I really trust this man?....me just said that he cares more about his life than the lives of others. ...a child...he let him escape....he was crying sad for his family that died that he let die.....I was going to kill that child....eh....eh....eh?....my head....)』
Adrien was talking with total normality about things, that was also something of the Schuman's, they tell things without any feeling when they are true, but noticing that Ann was not walking, Adrien turned to know what was happening, but when he did, he realized that Ann was pointing a gun at him, they were silent for a few seconds, you could see Ann trembling and with fear in her face, while Adrien was calm as if wanting to control the situation.
『I'm sorry....but just now I was about to shoot the wrong person, I...have a fragile mind and heart sir....』
『¿? Hey Ann....-----------------』
... ------------------------------------You could hear a gunshot, Ann's companions didn't understand why he had shot her, quickly they were going to take his gun away but Ann just dropped it and started to cry about what she did, while Adrien, Didiel's dad, had been shot in the neck which left a huge wound, blood was gushing out of him, although the soldiers nearby were going to help him there was little they could do, seeing Adrien's face of agony, seeing how he touched his neck and finally collapsed, they didn't know why this happened, they were all trembling about how this whole deal ended. While the military from afar, the Military Chief looked with the visor, he could only see how several points on the spot, where one without further ado fell to the ground, quickly this entered him a cold all over his body, as he knew that they had the most obvious end.
『Mr. Adrien!!!!!!』
Now both parents just lost their lives for what they thought was right but in the end it just wasn't the moment they have been wishing for.
