The first thousand two hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Before Lilyata could reply, Roas, who was standing in front of him, took a deep breath and gave him a standard military salute.
Although Tang did not directly help the Silver Eagle Regiment, his military operations on the Sokannada defense line indirectly led to the withdrawal of the Phoenix Empire's surprise attack fleet, because Prince Kursk was afraid that his precious Shadow Rangers would fall to the same field as the Deeper Fleet.
There is no doubt that this has helped the Silver Eagle Group a lot of money.
A month ago, the new detection device developed by Star Covenant through research on the battleships under the Deep Diver Fleet had also arrived at the Silver Eagle regiment and began deployment operations.
As we all know, Egg Statman made an indelible contribution to the development of this new detector by Star Covenant, and Egg Statman is one of the core members of Morningstar Casting.
As Ralph said, Roas was a devout Catholic, whose view of all things in the world was different from that of ordinary people's utilitarian and kind heart. He wanted what Delma could not imagine, and he wanted what Wald could not imagine.
Looking at the man opposite, who was slightly shorter than him, he understood the other party's thoughts from his black eyes. Tang Fang admitted defeat, not because he was afraid of revealing his identity, but because he didn't want to hurt his feelings, didn't want to blaspheme those beautiful things, and didn't want to shake his will.
The soul of the person in front of him is as dazzling as the sun's light and as holy as an angel.
"Being able to meet you here...is the most glorious moment of my life."
Roas believes that the best moment in his life is the moment when everyone cries with the wounded and the wounded come to the rescue team. Now... is the most glorious moment in his life.
He thought that when he received the award from the First Consul and received the Silver Eagle Medal, it should be the most glorious moment of his life. As it turned out, this idea was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong. In the Kravie star system, in a room in Demer, seeing this person with an extraordinary soul was the most glorious moment.
The expression on Ralph's face can no longer be described as "wonderful", but should be described as "complex".
It turned out... the person who defeated him in turn was Captain Tang Fangtang, the star alliance who was at its peak... No wonder Juventus lost so quickly and so miserably, no wonder Delma lost so thoroughly and so no suspense.
And Roas, Wald...and himself...
He lost, he lost completely... However, strangely, at this moment, he did not have much anger or depression in his heart. He was very calm, but also very excited. These were two contradictory words, but they appeared on him in an opposite way.
Calmness is about losing the game, and excitement... it is because of something else.
"I lost," he said to Lilyata, "I will keep my promise and stop interfering in the matter here."
Then he looked at Delis again: "After so many years... I was wrong... I'm sorry."
Delis said, "You should say sorry for her and her mother, not me."
Ralph sighed and looked at Lilyata again, looking at the familiar outline of the face, which could evoke the distant memories. He wanted to reach out to touch the face, but stopped halfway and chose to give up.
"I am no longer in the military and am just a theory instructor at Demer Military Academy... I'm sorry, it took so many years to fulfill my original promise."
Lily Aita tried to keep her voice calm: "You should say this at Lena's grave."
"I'm sorry... I haven't fulfilled my duty as a father for so many years."
When Ralph said the first sentence, Tang Fan already felt something was wrong, as if... it deviated from his expectations, not from a little bit, but from a very far and far away.
Until he heard the second sentence, his eyes suddenly turned into two copper bells, thinking, "Hey, hey... what a joke, Ralph... is Lily Aita...Lily Aita's father?"
Opposite, Lily Aita kept silent, not saying accepting his apology or not saying that he would not forgive his actions. It seemed that there was an insurmountable barrier and distance for this father with a prominent identity.
"You have really grown up and are no longer the little girl who used to be the one who can only treat you coldly. I am really relieved to see you take good care of yourself. Even when choosing a fiancé, I, as a father, can no longer give you better advice and choices. My daughter...I am proud of you."
After saying this, he turned his head and swept over Tang Fang's face and continued, "If possible, I hope to attend the wedding as the woman's father... This is the only thing I can do for you."
She looked at him and heard him say this. This was the first time she saw Ralph's face without sharpness, lack of seriousness, and no longer cold. This was very different from the cold and hard face she saw when she left the Silver Eagle Group 10 years ago. It was completely different from him in the past, which made her doubt about many scenes in her memory.
Is the Ralph in front of you the same person as the Ralph in the past?
For his military career, for his career, and for his motherland, he abandoned his wife and daughter, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father.
In her impression, he was a stubborn, ruthless, cold, iron-blooded and taciturn man. But today, the person who could call his father from a blood relationship, like many old people who are in their twilight years, will be worried about the marriage of their children, will be picky about the character of their son-in-law, and will sigh in front of others that time, and the years will grow old...
If he wants to be a soldier who puts national interests first, she will be a pirate who indulges himself. He wants her to be a female general, but she will become a eldest sister. He wants her to always think that she is a silver eagle man, and she will marry far away and be a foreigner's wife.
She has been fighting against him all her life, which is her struggle and revenge with her mother.
However, today, looking at his aging face and listening to his keen voice, he suddenly felt a sour mood. There was no imagined pleasure and excitement, no expectation and relief, only a faint melancholy, deep sadness, and continuous heartache.
It seems...it seems that her resistance and resentment, as well as the past life derived from it, has become meaningless.
He has changed, not the Ralph he used to be. How should she face him? The most resentful and angry in her heart, but also the most important man in her life?
This small living room seemed to be a wide and deserted intersection, with no pedestrians or traffic lights being guided by traffic lights. She stood in the middle of the intersection and didn't know where to go.
Delis sighed. She was the one who knew everything and the one who could understand Lily Aita's feelings best. Because the girl has been living with her since her mother passed away.
She watched her grow up day by day in rebellion, and she watched her resolutely leave here and embark on a deformed road of struggle, but she was powerless, helpless and ineffective in doing nothing about it.
From this point of view, Lily Aita and Ralph are really similar.
Wald, Delma and others knew about the relationship between Ralph and Delis and Lilyata early in the morning, and did not reveal too complicated personal emotions. Tang Fang was completely different. Although he had doubts about the relationship between Ralph, Delis and Lilyata early in the morning, and was puzzled by the four competitions just now, he had no time to calm down and think carefully. Now that he heard about the father-daughter relationship between Ralph and Lilyata, thinking about their story, he became very confused.
Also, what is Ralph's so-called "fiance"? Is he... talking about himself?
The sudden enlightenment made him savor it all at once.
Walder's physical fitness competition, Juventus' command competition, Delma's wealth competition, Roas' character competition... Isn't this the test item used by my mother-in-law to pick on her son-in-law?
It is embarrassing to be a wise man who has never seen it.
He tried to endure it, but no matter how he couldn't bear it, he walked out from behind the coffee table and came to Ralph, interrupting the depressing atmosphere that continued to ferment between the scene: "Sorry, the fiancé you are talking about is... me?"
If it is in a normal situation, it is obviously rude to ask such questions, but at this moment, he no longer has the intention to worry about whether he should speak at this time and whether he should ask such a question.
Ralph changed his expression just now and looked at him with a smile: "There are only four young people in this room, you and them. Now you defeat them one by one, and use your strength to prove that you are qualified to marry the woman from the Bryant family." After saying that, he patted his shoulder: "Good job, young man... I am proud to have a son-in-law like you."
"Haha...hehe..." He laughed dryly, but that smile was even uglier than crying.
"Tang Fang, you idiot, look at what you did." Only he knew the pain in his heart.
He walked towards Lilyata and asked in a low voice, "You lied to me? What's going on! Didn't it mean..." He pointed to the painting on the living room wall and said, "Didn't it mean... everything is to keep that painting?"
Delis showed a puzzled expression, looked at him, and then looked at the painting, thinking about what's going on with "The Battle of Angeli"... Wait, could this guy recognize the true origin of the painting?
She looked at the young man in front of her with a horrifying gaze, and the ocean in her heart caused a storm. In any case, Captain Tang, as an Asian, could see through "The Battle of Angeli". Such eyesight did not shock her or surprise her.
Tang Fang didn't know that his words made Delis's thoughts drift thousands of miles away, and he was waiting for Lilyata to reply.
My elder sister was awakened by his question, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said in a very serious tone: "I never said that this matter has anything to do with the paintings in the living room... I just said that in order to save Delis's most precious thing... it's me, you idiot." As she said that, she pinched his face with her hands.
"According to the tradition of the Bryant family, now... you are my fiancé."
He looked up at the Battle of Angeliri on the wall of the living room, and then looked at Lily Aita's face, and suddenly remembered the scene that happened just now. Although the eldest sister was talking to "The Battle of Angeliri", her words were indeed "to protect Delis's most precious property."
For Ms. Delis, who has always been single, what is the most precious property? It is not a painting, but a person - Miss Liliellata.
At that time, Delis went to the kitchen to make tea, and did not hear their conversation, so he was not clear about this. But the painting on the wall was the original work of Leonardo da Vinci, which was priceless, but Miss Emma was there, and he could recognize the origin of the painting. So he took it for granted that "The Battle of Angeli" was Miss Delis's most precious wealth.
Of course, even if he did not recognize the origin of "The Battle of Angeli". Lilyata was able to bring him into the ditch. Just say "Look... how good this painting of "The Battle of Angeli" is, Mr. Leonardo is really a talented painter." He would naturally ask and also believe that Ralph came here to buy "The Battle of Angeli".
As for why Ralph didn't show his flaws, he made him realize something was strange in advance. I'm afraid Lilyata had already had a conversation with his father before coming here and agreed on some things."
It seems... it's only me who was kept in the dark and made my elder sister feel embarrassed.
"You...you...you..." The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he felt unwilling to accept it.
There is no one in this world who is forcing someone to be a groom, and she has not gotten her belly bigger and needs to be responsible for her unborn child.
At this moment, Lilyata stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Don't have an attack, think about Aros' whereabouts."
This sentence fell into his ears, just like someone strangling his throat with his hands, and the anger and unwillingness were forced to suppress.
He couldn't use force on her, and the eldest sister was holding information about Aros in her hand. What else could he do except shut up and admit defeat?
"According to the tradition of the Bryant family, fathers have the power to marry their daughters, unless there is a person who is better than the marriage partner and willing to marry the woman. Although I have a strong relationship with my father, no matter what... I am a member of the Bryant family." Lilyata continued: "Don't show such a terrible expression, you are not at a loss. Don't worry, I won't force you, but I just don't want him to use the marriage incident as an excuse to interfere in my life and change my life. Just treat this as a play."
He thought about it seriously. Indeed, according to the living habits and social culture of Chinese civilization, it was Miss Lili Aita who suffered a loss in this matter, not him.
Of course, perhaps those who don’t like him will make a fuss about this matter, such as slandering him as a romantic and erotic young man who is full of wits. But as long as the person he likes doesn’t think so, those rumors are not as harmful to him as a stinky fart.
If swearing and cursing could kill him, he had already died thousands of times.
At this moment, Ralph noticed the small movements between the two, frowned and asked, "Why...is there any problem?"
