"No, I must go."
"What for?"
"To rescue someone."
Horace had realized, upon seeing the gigantic warship appear in the atmosphere of Helheim Star, that Lin Fu must be among those people.
He could ignore the others, but if Lin Fu died on Helheim Star, he would never have to go back, just wait to be imprisoned until death!
On the contrary, if he saved Lin Fu, the Commander, considering Lady's sake, would take him back as well.
The old man, watching Horace's receding figure, muttered softly, "Who indeed is the cleverer one here? If Joseph V had foreseen this, I wonder if he would be green with regret."

The gigantic warship remained stationary in the outer space of Helheim Star, but the atmosphere inside the ship was anything but calm.
They had received news of the Imperial Marshal's death.
A disagreement arose among the people.
