Faced with the reasonable request of 'Uncle George', Luther naturally agreed.
"Of course."
So as Luther pressed the summoning bell, soon a female guard knocked on the door and entered.
"Luther Your Excellency, what are your instructions?"
"Take Mr. George·Alstar to the living area and arrange for him to meet with Miss Flay·Alstar. All his needs can be appropriately met."
Faced with Luther's casual instructions, the female officer of the Guard responded loudly and saluted valiantly;
Luther turned to George·Alstar, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, for additional explanation.
"Uncle George, if you have any other needs, you can write them down and submit them first.
I will let my subordinates deal with it first, and we can have another meeting to discuss it if necessary.
Don't worry about what I promised you. After all, you were the first person Atlantic Federation contacted us, and for Flay's sake, your success will also be beneficial to us.
I have some other things to do here, so I'll send you off a short distance away."
George·Alstar, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs stood up and shook hands with Luther, thanking and confirming by the way.
"Thank you for your candor and kindness, Mr. Luther.
I also happen to be able to have a good conversation with my little girl Flay.
Do you mind if I ask you, Mr. Luther, about things related to you and Ms. Cagalli?"
"Of course."
Luther answered like this again, shook hands with 'Uncle George' and said goodbye, seriously accepting the data disk he gave.
After George·Alstar also said goodbye to Lacus and Cagalli, and left the reception room, Luther once again stopped Lacus who was eager to ask, and rang the bell to summon another female guard officer.
"Luther Your Excellency, what are your instructions?"
"Give this information to Tessa and ask her to take a general look at it first to confirm its completeness."
As the female guard officer saluted and accepted the order, Luther was ready to explain the reason to Lacus;
And Lacus may have been blocked twice by Luther, so he seemed to have calmed down a little and was thinking about it himself.
Facing Lacus who was thinking, Luther first revealed a simple fact.
"Lacus, and Cagalli too.
Although our 'Anti-War United Front' has similar ideas and similar goals, in the final analysis, 'Celestial Being', Orb and Plant are three independent political entities.
Therefore, since what I am selling is not Plant's interests, to put it bluntly, Lacus, you have no right to question me.
And Cagalli you abandoned your own responsibilities and obligations and let me represent Orb even more so."
"But..."
Facing Luther's argument, Cagalli could only hold back a "but" and couldn't say any more;
After Lacus carefully thought about Luther's words, he nodded first and then made a retort.
"Luther Your Excellency is indeed right.
However, providing the mobile suit operating system that Natural can use to other forces should indirectly harm the interests of Plant, right?"
Facing Lacus, who had distanced themselves from each other even though they were addressing each other, Luther first made a joke that was not a joke.
"Lacus I'm offended when you call me that. After all, personal relationships are personal relationships and business matters are business affairs.
Of course, if our personal relationship goes further, or if we merge further in public affairs as political entities, or even the two go hand in hand, our interests will become more entangled;
On the other hand, Lacus, you have the right to question me."
Regarding Luther's joke, Cagalli suddenly whispered.
"If it were me, wouldn't it be okay..."
Seeing Cagalli blushing and panicking after speaking, Luther couldn't say anything else, so he had to cough lightly and continue to answer Lacus's inquiry.
"Then Lacus, you actually know the situation of Orb.
Therefore, from the moment the mobile suit operating system available for Natural is provided to Orb in order to improve Orb's self-protection capabilities, the leakage and proliferation of related technologies are inevitable."
Lacus is naturally easy to understand, and Luther is telling the truth.
In this case, you can't blame Luther for why it provided such important and dangerous technology to Orb, right?
Doing that would mean that Clyne Faction himself excluded himself from the core circle of the 'Anti-War United Front' camp, and this camp alliance is so important to Clyne Faction and Plant now and even in the future.
After understanding this, Lacus took the initiative to apologize without hesitation.
"Sorry, Luther, Cagalli, it was because I was concerned that things got messed up."
"No, it's okay. Lacus It's normal for you to have such a reaction. My reaction was even bigger than yours at the time."
Faced with Lacus's apology, Cagalli made a very reasonable reply;
On this basis, Luther revealed some more important information.
"But Cagalli, actually last time I asked Kisaka to bring back the operating system of Orb and deleted the most critical database."
"What!?"
Amid Cagalli's doubts, Lacus was the first to respond.
"So in fact, Luther, what you promised Uncle George just now is also the version with the key database deleted."
Luther smiled and nodded to Lacus who responded quickly, and then turned to Cagalli with an expression of 'You plotted against me, Luther'.
"Judging from the normal deposits into our account at Dawn Bank, there was also a large amount of 'technical consulting fees' a few days ago, I'm afraid your father's new wave of messengers are already on the way.
I just don't know if it will be Kisaka, a 'professor', or someone else."
Regarding Luther's answer, Cagalli seemed to understand it, but it seemed that he did not understand the real meaning;
So Lacus glanced at Luther in a charming manner and provided additional instructions to Cagalli.
"In other words, our Lord Luther was testing your father's intentions, and your father also responded with actions.
In other words, the reason why I did not ask Cagalli you before and announced the establishment of 'Anti-War United Front' after I arrived is because Luther has already received a response from Cagalli your father;
So may I ask, Sir Luther, why don't you make any confirmation from me?"
Seeing that Cagalli was angry with understanding, Luther responded with a smile to Lacus who asked "knowingly".
"You mean, the singer of Plant, the daughter of Supreme Council Speaker Siegel·Klein, and the person in charge of ZAFT Patrick·Zala's son Athrun·Zala's fiancée, Miss Lacus·Klein;
The reason why he deliberately stayed in the dangerous Debris Belt, and even encountered an attack by Eurasian Federation special forces disguised as pirates, so he wanted to come into contact with 'Celestial Being' at all costs;
In fact, you just want to show off your singing voice for the 'Celestial Being' fleet, and there is no political purpose?"
