"Ha ha ha ha."
"Exactly!"
Guilliman laughed heartily.
Unlike Lion, Guilliman was a Primarch with a sense of humor rather than a cold and aloof one. He had always enjoyed working with Qin Mo, because Qin Mo always faced everything optimistically and always inspired confidence.
The room's atmosphere, which had gradually grown heavy under the weight of two grave topics, changed.
Then there came a knock at the door. A Custodian entered, and Guilliman immediately became serious again.
He would not have been so serious if it had been another Custodian, but it was Anreda. This Custodian handled diplomatic affairs across the sector. There were always occasions where the presence of an important figure was needed to demonstrate sincerity, and a Planetary Defense Force officer who had served under the Lord of Tyran when he was still insignificant was clearly the right sort of "important figure."
And Anreda's arrival at this moment was surely related to the Governor who had killed his own people.
So Guilliman became serious.
"There is a small matter," Anreda said, but it was not what Guilliman had expected. "A naval officer from the flagship's communications department came to me, hoping I could help report it... After thinking it over, I decided to do him this favor..."
"Go on." Qin Mo nodded.
"This naval officer has a child, around twelve years old, but the child is nearing the end of his life. He lives in a relatively remote part of the sector, and his wish is to see the victorious naval fleet pass through near-planetary orbit." Anreda explained.
Qin Mo froze for a moment upon hearing this.
A twelve-year-old child nearing the end of his life was unimaginable.
Leaving aside the matter of age... if he wanted to see a victorious naval fleet, every time fleets
