Chapter 168: Lily’s past
“Shall we go?” Lily asked as her eyes were fixed on .
I nodded. “Where are we going now?”
“We have to et Alexandra. She is waiting for you,” Lily replied, and started walking.
My gaze was fixed on her for a second before I started following her and soon I caught up to her.
“How was the eting?” She looked at and asked.
“It was good. They were just discussing the matters of Pri Three.”
“Oh,” she replied and stared ahead.
I was expecting her to ask more questions about the eting, but she did not. To be honest, I had little contact with Lily after I arrived at the facility. We just made fun of each other.
“Why did you co here?” I asked her. This question has bugged for a long ti.
She looked at , “Of course, there are so reasons for to co here. You are also one of them,”
I was surprised. Did she co here because of ? But she told that I was one of the reasons. After arriving in this world, I have observed that won are more open to their feelings; they are not repulsive at the idea of a man having more than one woman. If they truly like a man, they would openly pursue it.
I shook my head. I am overthinking the matters. She may have other reasons to co here.
“Don’t think too much. To tell you the truth, many things happened in my life. I was once the renowned star of the forces. Where ever I went and created a na for myself. But unfortunately, in one of my missions. I was ambushed, and it affected my powers and resulted in my retirent from the frontline. I was depressed. But after a while, I regained my senses and went back to the facility, and started working as a receptionist. You would think that since I have so much experience on the battlefield. I would have beco an instructor. But I didn’t want to. I think you could have seen my parents in the city. I spent so ti with them.”
She paused and looked at , and then continued, “To tell you the truth. I was really happy with my life there in the facility. I didn’t have much of the pressure and I was able to spend so ti with my family. But sowhere down in my heart, I wanted to get back on the frontier. Face those vile aliens. And my wish ca true. During one of the raids. Forces have found the thod to restore my powers. Since they knew my conditions, they contacted to co back. This is the reason I am here in the facility.”
My brows were raised when I heard her words, but then I asked, “You told that I was also one of the reasons you ca here?”
She nodded. “Yes, you are also one of the reasons. When I first t you in the facility, you created a long-lasting imprint on and I wanted to have a deep relationship with you. And when I heard that you would be moving to the facility, I was really happy to see your progress. But sowhere in my heart. I wanted you to live in the facility so that we can spend so more ti.”
She sighed. “You are really incredible. To think that you are now in a relationship with one of the demons of the Forces. I was quite shocked, but sohow I also felt admiration towards you. You don’t know, but many n tried to pursue Tanya. But no one succeeded.”
“Anyway, we have arrived.” She looked at and said.
I was surprised. I turned around to see that we were standing in front of a room.
“Go inside,”
I knocked and stepped into the room and saw that Alexandra was sitting behind the desk. She turned to look at and a smile ford on her face.
“I was waiting for you,”
I nodded and stepped into the room. Lily followed and sat beside .
“How was your experience?”
“Experience?” I asked, but soon I understood that she was asking about the experience of the eting.
“Quite good. I didn’t expect that there would be this many people for the Pri Three. But it makes things more interesting. But I have a question,”
Her brows were raised when she heard my words.
“Tell ?”
“I understand that you want people to lead the forces and all those people, especially worked at the frontier. Honestly, I don’t have any experience regarding fighting against those aliens on the battlefield. Why did these people choose ?”
She nodded with understanding. “You have shown remarkable progress in a short period of ti. I told you before that these people have taken an interest in you. In the history of the forces, no one has shown this type of growth, and when they got to know that you have the potential to lead the forces in the future. They made special consideration for you. And today’s eting was specially arranged for you.”
I nodded when I heard her words.
“You wanted to et ?” I asked her again.
“Yes, you heard my father about leading the squad in the forces, right?” She looked at and asked.
I nodded.
“Then you should also know about the seriousness, right?”
I nodded again.
“You should be prepared. Things would be serious in the future.”
I could see the solemness in her tone. But I could understand her concern. My performance could determine my future.
Alexandra’s gaze shifted to Lily. “I think you have thought about it,”
“I understand,”
My brows were furrowed. I don’t know what they are talking about. My gaze shifted to Lily.
“It was Alexandra who told to co back to headquarters,” Lily looked at and said.
“Yes, it was who told her to co back. She would be working under you.”
I was surprised when I heard her. Lily looked at .
“It was because of you that I agreed with this mission. You don’t know, but I have volunteered to go under the experint.”
“Experint?” I asked, but then I rembered her words. She lost her powers and forces have found the thod to restore her powers.
“You would be the first one for the experint?” I asked her.
She nodded. “You don’t know, but I have suffered a lot when I lost my powers. But I accepted my life and settled in the facility. When they told about the experint, I was quite apprehensive. A part of my mind didn’t want to return to that chaotic life. But when Alexandra told that, I would be assisting you in the future. I accepted the task.”
I was stunned. Because of , she accepted to be the scapegoat for the forces. Whatever it may be. But she would be facing the risk of failure in the experint.
I was stunned and quite moved. To think that she would be taking a huge risk because of . I was flabbergasted.
I don’t know what good things I have done in the past to et these people. To be honest, I didn’t expect that I would et these many people who would be concerned about .
And as if she understood my thoughts, she said, “Don’t think too much. There was one more reason that I agreed to undergo the experint.”
“What is it?” I asked her.
“To be honest, even though I was satisfied with my life in the facility. One part of my heart always craved for this life. After enjoying most of my life praising for my performance in the field. I wanted to enjoy that thrill again. And when she told that the forces had found a way to restore my power and would be assisting you in the future, I agreed.”
I nodded in understanding but still felt that she was sacrificing her life for . She could stay back and spend the rest of her life peacefully. But I could also understand that she has lived her life in the midst of battles and after experiencing that life, it would be quite boring for her to live a plain life.
But suddenly, Alexandra’s voice drew my attention.
“You should go and take a rest. I would et you after so ti.”
I nodded and stood up to leave the room. From her words, I understood that she would co and et after so ti.
“Lily would guide you to your place,” Alexandra looked at and said.
Lily also stood up and looked at .
“Shall we go?”
I nodded and took one last look at Alexandra and left the room.
And as soon as I exited the room, I looked at Lily. “You shouldn’t have agreed to the experint. What if sothing happened to you?”
But she shook her head and said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Even though I would be the first one to undergo the experint, it should be quite safe.”
I could see that she was quite resolute. I nodded and said.
“Shall we go?”
