Immortal Soul of Steel

"Mr. Speaker Durandal, why are you here?"

Aslan stood up, and Lin Youde also stood up.

Durandal smiled and replied: "I heard that the prince of Orb has returned from Orb with our P.L.A.N.T. Miss Lux."

"As the Speaker of P.L.A.N.T., of course I am obligated to receive him."

"Is this Prince Kira?"

"I am Gilbert Durandal, the current Speaker of the P.L.A.N.T., nice to meet you."

Durandal stretched out his hand to Lin Youde, and Lin Youde also stretched out his hand to hold it.

"Hello, Speaker Durandal, my name is Kira Ashar."

"I'm really flattered that you came all the way."

Durandal shook his head: "No, no, no, it's me who should be scared."

"The Prince of Orb brought Princess Orb, our original princess of P.L.A.N.T., Miss Lux Klein back to P.L.A.N.T."

"For such a big thing, I actually didn't come as soon as possible because I was dealing with government affairs. It's really a dereliction of duty on my part."

"Please don't be offended by Prince Kira and Princess Lux."

Lux smiled and waved her hand: "Speaker Durandal was joking. I have never thought of a princess or anything like that."

"I'm just an ordinary girl who likes to sing. I really don't dare to be the princess of P.L.A.N.T. or something like that."

Durandal smiled and shook his head: "Miss Lux, you may think so, but the citizens who can't stand P.L.A.N.T. think so."

"You haven't been back for more than a year, and people across the country miss you very much."

"If Princess Cagalli and Aslan hadn't often quarreled and went out last year, they would have caused some ridiculous stories, which would have attracted the attention of people across the country."

"I'm afraid I can't handle the pressure anymore and I have to invite you back to hold a concert to appease the people."

"People across the country still love your singing."

Cagalli's pretty face turned red: "No, no, don't listen to his nonsense. Aslan and I didn't do anything ridiculous."

Aslan coughed and responded: "Ahem, cough, cough, yes, yes, Cagalli is right."

Lin Youde squinted at the two of them with a speechless expression: "Guess whether I believe it or not."

Cagalli, Aslan: "..."

Lin Youde shook his head, let go of Durandal's hand, and asked.

"Is there no other singer in P.L.A.N.T. to replace Lux's previous position?"

Durandal smiled bitterly and said: "Prince Kira, you have underestimated Miss Lux's status in the hearts of the people of P.L.A.N.T."

"Although Miss Lux doesn't admit it herself, she does have a princess-like status in the hearts of the people across the country."

"Miss Lux's singing has incredible power and can heal the pain caused by the war."

"Only Miss Lux can do this kind of thing, no one else can."

Lin Youde and Lux ​​looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"It looks like you've tried it."

At the same time, Lin Youde muttered in his heart: 'No way, Lux's singing voice also has the power of a "singer" like Lin Mingmei? ’

'But, Lux sang it in front of me so many times before, but I didn't feel any special power. ’

‘When I tested Lin Mingmei’s new human telepathy, I didn’t feel any special power from Lux. ’

‘Is this a rhetorical tool used by Durandal to win over Lux and me and increase the Klein faction’s rhetoric? ’

‘Or is it just because this world is special to Lux, that’s why Lux has special power? ’

‘Well… I’ll find a chance later and ask Lux to sing it to me again so that I can feel it again. ’

Based on the principle that you won't lose if you give it a try, Lin Youde made up his mind and asked Lux ​​to find an opportunity to sing to him.

And Durandal is back now.

"Yeah, of course I tried."

"Miss Lux married Orb and became the princess. As the Speaker, of course I must also consider the people."

"However, I later found several singers to support him and appease the people with his singing, but they all failed."

"So, as soon as I learned that Miss Lux had returned, I hurried here."

Durandal looked at Lux and begged: "Miss Lux, do you have time recently? If possible, please sing two songs for all the citizens of P.L.A.N.T."

"Everyone misses your singing."

Facing Durandal's plea, Lacus did not directly agree, but looked at Lin Youde.

As Lin Youde nodded slightly, Lacus replied.

"That's it, I understand. If it's just about singing, I'd be happy to sing for everyone in P.L.A.N.T."

"It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the full moon banquet for Cagalli and Aslan's children, why not sing at that time?"

In response, Durandal quickly agreed, fearing that Lux would regret it.

After discussing the matter of singing the song, Durandal invited Lin Youde.

"Prince Kira, the launching ceremony of our new ZAFT ship will be in five days."

"When the time comes, please bring Miss Lux with you."

"I believe that the arrival of you and Miss Lux can boost everyone's morale and inspire everyone's fighting spirit to defend their homeland and country."

Durandal's statement was very appropriate, and Lin Youde couldn't find anything wrong with it.

In addition, Lin Youde knew that this was the beginning of the plot of the second season, so he agreed on the spot.

"No problem, I also want to see what ZAFT's new ship looks like."

"Just in time, when I came back this time, I brought back the Freedom Gundam that I took away from P.L.A.N.T. before."

"That machine was originally a machine from P.L.A.N.T. This time, let's treat it as a gift and return it directly to P.L.A.N.T."

Durandal was shocked: "Return the Freedom Gundam to us? That is the legendary machine you made in the last war. Is it really okay to return it to us?"

Lin Youde smiled and waved his hand: "No problem, the war is over. That machine still remains in my hands, why not return it to its original owner. After all, it is your thing, I am just borrowing it."

"As long as your Excellency the Speaker doesn't mind me being shameless and using all your original things to give you as gifts, just blame me for being shameless."

A trace of doubt flashed in Durandal's eyes, but he still smiled and replied.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

"On the day of the launch ceremony of the new ship, I will transport the Freedom Gundam to the new ship to boost everyone's morale."

Lin Youde nodded and responded: "Of course, no problem."

With that said, Lin Youde, who had been using New Human Mind Sensation to try to sense Durandal's emotions, immediately discovered Durandal's doubts.

Lin Youde had no explanation for this. Lin Youde was a little proud of being able to make this old fox confused.

"By the way, will you go, Aslan, on the day of the launching ceremony?"

Lin Youde seemed to have just thought of something and turned to ask Aslan.
