Chapter 535: Char and Lala

"Captain Lar..."

"Let's chat?"

"Yes."

Char walked into the room with Lara Shin. He and Lara Shin sat on one side, while Ramba Lar and Crowley Harmon sat on the other side. They all looked serious.

"Char Aznable, what do you want to do? Who...are you?"

In fact, Ramba Lar and Crowley Harmon had wanted to ask this question a long time ago. They both had a familiar feeling about Char, not the Char Aznable they knew, but the feeling of knowing him long ago.

"Captain Lar..." His expression was extremely tangled. Malu's retelling echoed in Char's ears again. In the end, he chose to take off his mask. "Long time no see, Captain Lar, Miss Harmon."

"You! This face!" Ramba Lar and Crowley Harmon were shocked. Although their memories of this face were only of children, they would never forget it even if they grew up.

"Caspar... Are you His Highness Caspar!?"

"It's me, Captain Ral, Miss Harmon."

"You... Are you still alive!? I heard..."

"Yes, I died once, as Caspar Deacon."

"But... What is this..."

Char told Lamba Ral and Crowley Harmon all his experiences over the years, from escaping from Side 3 to hiding his identity on Earth to being hunted, and then to their life in Side 7, after which he separated from his sister and joined the Zeon Army under the identity of Char Aznable...

Char himself felt incredible. He felt that he would not be such a sincere person. To him, everyone was a chess piece and tool that could be used, and it was even more impossible for him to tell others his true identity and all his previous experiences.

But...

At this moment, he suddenly felt relieved, the heavy invisible shackles on his body were removed, his shoulders were free of pressure, and his back could be more upright. He wanted to continue talking and wanted to enjoy this relaxed feeling.

"..."

After listening to all of Char's experiences, Lamba Ral and Crowley Harmon remained silent for a long time. Their mood was also complicated. The child back then had become the annoying person he is now. They were very angry and felt that everything they had done to protect them was in vain.

But at the same time, they also expressed their understanding. They could not imagine what Char had experienced. Without having experienced that kind of life, they were not qualified to point fingers at Char.

"So... Your Highness Caspar, what do you want to do?" Lamba Ral asked Char. He was still loyal to the country of Zeon, still hated the Zabi family, and was willing to return to the name of Deiken. But if Char wanted to do something that did not conform to his ideas, he would not agree, even if he died.

"I want to... revive the Republic of Zeon, the country that my father dreamed of!"

"What... is this... is this true?" Lamba Ral asked.

"Yes, the ideal country that my father fought for all his life, the home of space residents who are not oppressed or excluded, is my goal." Char did not lie, he only said half of it. The goal of revenge can be achieved in the process of achieving this goal.

"...This is difficult, no, it should be said to be a fantasy. Your enemy is not only the Zabi family, but also the Federation." Lamba Ral said.

"I know that both the Zabi family and the Federation will become our enemies, but... it is only part of the Federation now."

"Part of the Federation?"

"Yes, you have seen how powerful my partners are."

"Well..." Lamba Ral and Crowley Harmon were silent. Of course, they had seen that they were brought safely from under the nose of the Kycilia Agency to Granada, this military fortress, brand new excellent MS, and extraordinary pilots. Those who can do this are definitely not ordinary people.

But... it's not enough!

"He has already achieved a high position in the Earth Federation. The Federation will also have our helpers, and before the war between the Federation and Zeon ends, they will not stop me, but will only win me over."

"But after that, the Federation will not be able to sit idly by, and... you can't restore the country alone."

"So I need your help, Captain Lar."

"Me?"

"Yes, Captain Lar, when you were still in the Zeon Army, you were very popular in the Zeon Army, and your position and reputation were also very high. With your help, we can win over more people in the Zeon Army. I believe that there are many people in the Zeon Army who are dissatisfied with the Zabi family like you."

"Well..." Ramba Lar tacitly agreed that many people in the Zeon Army had long been dissatisfied with the cruel behavior of the Zabi family, and... there were also many people who missed the Zeon of the Deacon period like him, and missed the time they served under Deacon.

"I will do my best, Your Highness Caspar, but... this is not enough." Ramba Lal was very rational and was not fooled by Char's few words. So if he wanted to join Char's camp, he needed more proof. After all, he was not alone now.

"In the war between the Federation and Zeon, we must continue to build our strength in secret. With the help of our collaborators, we will have military power that the Federation will fear at the moment of restoration. It is unrealistic to want to defeat the Federation, but it is no problem to make them dare not easily attack us. This is the first point. And... my collaborator prepared a gift for me, a gift that will make the Federation dare not act rashly against us. As long as we get that thing, we will have the real qualifications to negotiate with the Federation."

"That thing?"

"Sorry, Captain Lar, that thing is too important. Even I can't confirm whether it really exists now, so I can't tell you the details now."

"... I need to think about it." Lamba Lar said.

"Understand, we will stay here for a week, you have enough time to think about it."

After that, Char put on the mask again and left the room with Lara Xin. Lamba Lar and Crowley Harmon who were left behind did not speak for a long time.

"What are you struggling with?" After a long time, Crowley Harmon broke the deadlock and took the initiative to ask Lamba Lar.

Lamba Ral just looked at Crowley Harmon without saying anything. The answer was obvious.

That's right, he cared about Crowley Harmon. Now that the Ral family was gone and his old father had passed away, the only person who was worth Lamba Ral's attention was Crowley Harmon.

The era of Daken was over. Now it was the era of the Zabi family. To put it nicely, Char's behavior was to restore the country, but to put it bluntly, it was treason!

It would be fine if he succeeded. Once he failed, he and Crowley Harmon would be doomed, and they would not even have a decadent life of drunkenness and dreams.

"Lamba... Actually, you don't have to worry about it. No matter which way you choose, I will accompany you." Crowley Harmon held Lamba Ral's hand and said gently. Since she saw Lamba Ral for the first time, she fell in love with him, just as Lamba Ral also loved her. For him, Crowley Harmon could do anything. Otherwise, she would not have risked her life to rescue the Daken brothers and sisters from the Daken ancestral home and sent them to Earth because of Lamba Ral's distress.

"Harmon... Alas."

"And Lamba, we didn't choose, did we?"

Lamba Ral was silent and acquiesced to Crowley Harmon's words. Char was no longer the former Caspar Daken. He grew up, learned conspiracy and trickery, and learned to be ruthless.

After knowing so many things, if Lamba Ral was unwilling to join Char's camp, would Char let them go?

...

"Major, will you let Captain Ral and the others go?" Lara Sing asked with a smile.

"Why do you think so?" Char asked Lala Xin in surprise.

"Because the major is a gentle person."

"Gentle? Haha." Hearing this, Char covered his face and smiled bitterly. The word gentle has nothing to do with him, just like two parallel lines that never intersect.

"Otherwise, why would the major save me?" Lala Xin insisted on her point of view.

At the beginning, Lala Xin was sold from her hometown to South America and became a tool for the warlord. Because of her induction ability, she helped the warlord make a lot of money. Although she lived a carefree life and could send money home, she also lived in fear and was often beaten and scolded.

Even if her previous master died, the next master would still be the same. Lala Xin still lived a life of today and tomorrow.

Until Char took the initiative to approach her, pulled her out of endless suffering, and took care of her all the time, treated her well, taught her a lot of things, and did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He would also give her money for her to send back home.

"I'm actually the same as those people, treating you as a prop..."

"Lying won't work for me, Major."

"Hmm..."

Char's mouth twitched, secretly cursing himself for not having a trust list. The only two names on it made him suffer repeatedly.

However, Char was also in a dilemma. If Lamba Ral really rejected him, would he get rid of Lamba Ral and Crowley Harmon? If it was him before, he wouldn't have such a dilemma and would definitely make up his mind to get rid of all the hidden dangers, but now...

He liked that relaxed feeling very much. He knew he shouldn't have it, but it didn't stop him from liking it. If...if it could always be like this, if he had so many followers like Yang Hui, wouldn't he have to be so tired?

At this moment, Char suddenly felt his head being hugged by a small body.

"Lala?"

"It's okay, Major, you can have a good rest now."

"...Thank you, Lala."

Although Char still didn't get an answer, Lala's embrace was warm and comfortable, allowing him to empty his mind, put aside his complicated thoughts, empty himself, and fall asleep leaning on Lala's arms.

"You're welcome, Major, have a good rest." Feeling Char's even breathing, Lala murmured softly.
