Immortal Soul of Steel

Siegel's words made Lin Youde's thoughts stir and he nodded heavily.

"certainly."

Lin Youde's admission made Lux's pretty face blush even more.

"That's it..."

Siegel nodded slightly and looked at Lin Youde.

Through the new human's spiritual induction, Lin Youde was able to sense that there was relief and satisfaction in Sigel's mood. There is no dissatisfaction.

Through this perception, Lin Youde's confidence greatly increased and he also asked pretending to be confused.

"Uncle, why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Why do you think I'm asking you this?"

Siegel didn't answer the question with a half-smile, and kept looking at Lux. While making Lux blush, it also made Lin Youde deliberately make a pensive expression.

"...Uncle, has the conflict between you and Chairman Padrick of the National Defense Committee reached this level?"

Siegel looked at Lin Youde with relief and sighed.

"Who do you think caused this?"

Lin Youde looked surprised: "Eh? Does it have anything to do with me?"

Siegel nodded, showing a helpless expression.

"The disappearance of Aslan made Padric completely crazy."

"He was originally very radical, but when he thought that his only son had also been sacrificed, he fell into a serious madness."

"If Aslan hadn't found him again later and stabilized his mind a little bit, I can't imagine what Padric would have done."

"In fact, a few days ago, I said something to him a little bit, and he even wanted to attack me."

"Now he can no longer listen to anything..."

Lin Youde was stunned: "Ah this..."

Siegel glanced at Lux worriedly and continued: "Originally, it was just Padrick who was crazy, and if others didn't support it, don't worry too much. After all, neither P.L.A.N.T. nor ZAFT are really crazy. Padraic alone has the final say.”

"But the worst thing is that you have severely injured the children of the Juer family, the Elsman family, and the Amalfi family before."

"Now these three companies have completely turned to Padrick, coupled with the recent radicalization of the Earth Army. The situation has completely tilted towards the direction you said before."

Lin Youde nodded: "So, is it all because of me?"

'I really didn't expect that the accident I accidentally caused when I landed on the earth would turn things to this extent. ’

Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart, and Lin Youde responded: "So, is this the reason why you suddenly asked me this question, uncle?"

When Siegel nodded, Lin Youde glanced at Lux and replied: "Although I am personally very happy."

"But I remember that there is an engagement between Lux and Aslan, right?"

Lux's face froze, and Siegel said angrily: "You still know that there is an engagement between Lux and Aslan?"

Lin Youde pretended to be embarrassed and pressed his cheek with his fingers: "This... emotional matter... I can't help it..."

Hearing this answer, Lux's face softened a lot, and she looked at Siegel nervously.

Under Lux's nervous gaze, Siegel shook his head: "You young people..."

After sighing, Siegel continued: "I have already mentioned the engagement between Lux and Aslan to Padric, and he agreed to terminate it."

"Eh?"*2

Lin Youde and Lux ​​were both shocked.

Siegel stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, and looked melancholy.

"The original engagement between Lux and Aslan was a political marriage between Padric and I."

"It would be best if Lux and Aslan could get along well."

"But now that Lux belongs to someone else, and Padrick is so crazy, I really don't dare to let Lux stay with Aslan anymore."

"After all, the conflict between Padric and I has gradually intensified."

"What if he goes crazy and targets me? But if he implicates Lux because of me, then..."

Siegel shook his head, and Lux's face was filled with emotion. Lin Youde blinked and asked, "Is it really okay to tell me about this kind of thing?"

Siegel rolled his eyes at Lin Youde angrily: "Why do you think I told you this?"

Lin Youde was silent, and Siegel continued.

"I also have some thoughts about what you said before."

"So I plan to continue to terminate the engagement between Lux and Aslan, and completely put the conflict on the table."

Before Lux had any reaction, Lin Youde frowned.

"Uncle, isn't this bad?"

"As the Speaker of the P.L.A.N.T. Supreme Council, you and Chairman Padrick of the National Defense Council directly put the conflict on the table. Then wouldn't P.L.A.N.T. start civil strife?"

"Civil unrest at this time is not a good thing."

Siegel looked at Lin Youde with relief and said with a smile: "Of course I understand what you said. So, I just talked with Padrick before, but we haven't completely reached an agreement yet."

"Now, I plan to retire from the position of president of the Supreme Council on the pretext of breaking off the engagement between Lux and Aslan."

Lin Youde was shocked: "What?"

Lux also looked in disbelief: "Dad?"

Siegel raised his hand to stop the two of them and said, "I know what you want to say."

"If it had been before, I didn't actually intend to do it."

"But after chatting with Kira for a while recently, I found that the situation has become increasingly irreversible."

"Padrick's current support in parliament has reached 40%, close to 50%."

"His behavior is becoming more and more radical and his mentality is becoming more and more unstable. I can no longer stimulate him. Otherwise, I really don't know what he will do."

"So, take advantage of this opportunity to step down from your position. Looking for opportunities in the future is also a good choice."

Lux's eyes lit up: "Dad, are you going to follow Kira's words and take a step back to make progress?"

Siegel smiled and said: "Yes, although I don't know much about East Asian idioms, but at present, it seems that it is undoubtedly very suitable."

"Since we can't continue to stimulate him, let him come into contact with the Earth Army. Although many people will die in this way."

"But for the sake of peace in the future, this may really be a necessary sacrifice..."

As he spoke, Siegel sighed: "To be honest, even I don't know whether this decision will be a mistake."

"But for now, I have no choice."

Lin Youde gradually felt at ease: "Then, uncle, how are you going to deal with the matter between me and Lux?"

Under Lux's blushing and expectant gaze, Siegel smiled and said, "I will talk to Representative Ashad, the Orb Lion, about this matter, so you don't need to worry."
