Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 252 Siegel's Decision
Siegel's words made Lin Youde's thoughts move, and he nodded heavily.

"of course."

Lin Youde's admission made Lacus' pretty face even more red.

"Is that so..."

Siegel nodded slightly, looking at Lin Youde.

Through the spiritual induction of the new human beings, Lin Youde could perceive that Siegel's emotions contained relief and satisfaction.And no dissatisfaction.

Through this perception, Lin Youde's confidence greatly increased, but at the same time he asked pretendingly in doubt.

"Uncle, why do you suddenly ask this?"

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

Siegel didn't answer the question with a half-smile, as well as the eyes that kept looking at Lacus.While making Lacus blush, it also made Lin Youde intentionally make a pensive expression.

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

Siegel looked at Lin Youde with relief, and sighed.

"Who do you think did this?"

Lin Youde showed astonishment: "Eh? Is it related to me?"

Siegel nodded, showing a helpless expression.

"Aslan's disappearance made Patrick completely crazy."

"Already radical, he thought that his only son had also died, and he fell into a severe madness."

"If Aslan hadn't found him again afterwards, which made his spirit a little more stable. I really can't imagine what Padraic would have done."

"In fact, a few days ago, I said a few words to him, and he even wanted to do something to me."

"Now he can't listen to anything..."

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

Siegel glanced at Lacus worriedly, and continued: "Originally, it was only Padrik who was crazy alone, and if the others didn't support it. Don't worry too much. After all, whether it's PLANT or ZAFT, it's not true. Padraic alone has the final say."

"The bad thing is that you beat the children of the Jiuer family, the Elsman family, and the Amalfi family before, and they were seriously injured."

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

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

'I really didn't expect that when I landed on the earth, I accidentally made an accident that turned things to such an extent. '

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

During Siegel's nodding, Lin Youde glanced at Lacus and replied, "Although I am very happy personally."

"But I remember that there is still an engagement between Lacus and Aslan?"

Lax's face froze, and Siegel said angrily, "You also know that there is a marriage contract between Lax and Aslan?"

Lin Youde pinched his cheeks with his fingers pretending to be embarrassed: "This... emotional matter... I can't help it..."

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

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

Sighing, Siegel continued: "I have already mentioned the engagement between Lacus and Aslan with Padraic, and he agreed to dissolve it."

"Huh?"*2
Both Lin Youde and Lacus were shocked.

Siegel stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with a melancholy expression.

"The original marriage contract between Lux and Aslan was the political marriage between me and Patrick."

"It would be best if Lux could fall in love with Aslan."

"But now that Lux has her own heart, and Patrick is so crazy, I really don't dare to let Lux stay by Aslan's side."

"After all, the conflict between me and Patrick has gradually intensified."

"In case he goes crazy, it's okay to target me. But it's because of me that Lacus is implicated, then..."

Siegel shook his head, and Lacus was moved.Lin Youde blinked and asked, "Is it really okay to tell me about this kind of thing?"

Siegel gave Lin Youde an angry look: "Why do you think I told you this, kid?"

Lin Youde remained silent, Siegel continued.

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

"That's why I plan to go ahead and break the engagement between Lacus and Aslan, and completely put the contradiction on the table."

Before Lux had any reaction, Lin Youde frowned.

"Uncle, isn't this bad?"

"As the chairperson of PLANT's highest council, you and Padrik, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, directly put the conflict on the table. Then wouldn't PLANT start civil strife?"

"It's not a good thing to have civil strife at this time."

Siegel looked at Lin Youde with relief, and said with a smile: "Of course I understand what you said. So, I just talked with Padrik before, and it hasn't been fully settled yet."

"Now, I plan to step down from the chairmanship of the Supreme Council on the grounds of annulling the engagement between Lacus and Aslan."

Lin Youde was startled: "What?"

Lacus also had a face full of disbelief: "Dad?"

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

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

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

"Padrik's current support in the parliament has reached 4%, close to 5%."

"His behavior is becoming more and more aggressive, and his spirit 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 and step back from your seat. Looking for opportunities in the future is also a good choice."

Lux's eyes lit up: "Father, are you planning to follow what Kira said, and retreat to advance?"

Siegel said with a smile: "Yes, although I don't know much about East Asian idioms, it seems that they are undoubtedly very suitable."

"Since you can't continue to stimulate him, let him touch the Earth Army. Although many people will die in this way."

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

Speaking, Siegel sighed: "To be honest, even I myself don't know if this decision will be a mistake."

"But right now, I don't have a choice."

Lin Youde gradually felt at ease: "Then, uncle, how do you plan to deal with the matter between me and Lacus?"

Under Lux's blushing and somewhat expectant gaze, Siegel smiled and said: "I will talk to the Orb Lion Ashar representative about this matter, and you don't need to worry about it."
