Lin Chucheng, you can co out now.
Oraina opened the iron door and greeted the two inside with a closed-off posture. Lin Chucheng rubbed his eyes owing to his eyes not having adjusted to the sunlight, then tried to salute Oraina.
I hope you two have learnt your lesson. Landing in detention is nothing to be proud of. Dont forget to obey orders in the sky next ti. You are soldiers, a group dedicated to carrying out Her Majestys will, not unbridled goons. The next ti you defy orders, I will execute you.
Yes, Maam.
Hmph. Oraina walked up to Lin Chucheng and pinned a star-shaped dal embellished with a leaf at the centre onto the breast pocket area on Lin Chuchengs chest. She gave his shaky chest a thump and explained, Thats a silver oak leaf dal for you two to comnd you on your courage. Its one thing to defy orders, but you did defend our honour and complete the mission. Just try not to receive your dal in the detention room next ti.
Yes, Maam! Lin Chuchengs voice quavered with excitent. All of his anger and discontent was gone. He held back his tears of joy as well as the urge to smile. Having received the dal, he supposed that Oraina genuinely punished him for disobeying orders and not because he was Lin Dongqings son, an assumption that lifted his spirits even further. Thus, he deed her an excellent captain.
Oraina stepped back and saluted Lin Dongqing: So, now that you have your dal, when do you plan to leave?
Leave? I-I never planned to leave Y-you are not going to transfer when I have already been in detention, are you?
Im not getting rid of you. Werent you intending to earn a dal? You should go ho now that you have earned it, right? People usually take years to earn the dal. With this, you can proudly call yourself a terrific soldier even without ntioning Lord Lin Dongqing. Since youve achieved what you ca here for, its ti to go ho, isnt it?
N-no, Captain Oraina, I did not co here for a dal Lin Chucheng was cognisant of what Oraina implied; he just didnt know how to respond. Rather, he didnt want to respond.
Theyre all the sa. People think I just covet a dal despite my skill. They mistake my efforts for a craving for glory. Ive never depended on Lin Dongqing, yet nobody would have regrets because of him. As much as I wanted to escape his curse, I cant Nobody will ever acknowledge for as long as I carry this surna. Im never going to distinguish myself
Lin Chucheng, feeling as if he was plunged back into detention, gripped his shirt, but words failed him
Go ho, Young Master Lin. There is no reason for you to remain here. Its dangerous here. We cant afford to bear the consequences if you die. We are not babysitters.
Captain Oraina, I think you have crossed the line. Alice confronted Oraina with an akimbo stance. Captain Oraina, we have reflected on ourselves and accepted our punishnt. Do you not think you have crossed the line when you continue to heckle him after that?
Mind your attitude, Gunner.
Alice caught the hand Oraina tried to push her with and responded, I do not know what Lin Chuchengs background is. Who cares if he is the son of a high-ranking minister? You think we would defy your orders and risk his life for a dal? Have you never been shot at? Have you ever had three fighter jets hunt you? You resemble a commander now, but can you describe the enemy?
Slap! Oraina rocked Alice without hesitation then grabbed the latters collar and delivered another bloody slap: Youre the one who has crossed the line. How many more days do you want to spend in detention?
Captain Oraina, did you see the mosquito that crashed into ? Alice spat her blood off to the side and resud. Pardon my bluntness, but you are not worthy of being a captain. We accepted our punishnt, yet you continue to heckle us. Lin Chucheng could just go ho if he was here to garnish his resu. Demonstrating a lack of judgent, unable to praise and punish appropriately, I see why you are still a low-ranking captain. I am now worried you will put a bullet in my back out of spite.
Oraina ramd her fist into Alices face, sending the latter to the ground, then stomped on Alices face. As Alice struggled to roll away, Oraina delivered a kick to Alices gut, driving the latter into a wall. Orainas breathing grew louder as she threw her gun to Alice.
Lin Chucheng realised Oraina was planning to fra Alice for stealing her gun to justify the act of murder she was about to commit.
Stop, Captain Oraina! Lin Chucheng grabbed Orainas shoulder and shouted, If any harm befalls Alice, I will inform my father right away.
Oraina stopped for a second and then pushed Lin Chucheng away. She ordered, Lock Alice in detention for another three days and halve her food allowance for affronting her commander! What do you want, Lin Chucheng?! This is not a babysitting centre?!
I dont need you to babysit ! Im Lin Chucheng. Stop putting Lin Dongqing and I in the sa sentence. Whether I die or not is none of your business. I ca here to serve in the military! Im not leaving until I end this war!
