Chapter 249 Daken’s Daughter!! (5,000 words long chapter!)(2/3)
In an instant, everyone who was talking about it was speechless for a while, and then they all stood up like an electric shock.
"Daken!! Daken's daughter!! The former Prime Minister and Lady Astraya have a son and a daughter!!"
When recalling the life experiences of former Prime Minister Zeon Daken and Astraea, everyone realized Artesia's identity.
In shock, everyone looked at each other and turned around to leave, presumably sending a message to the forces behind them.
The news that the daughter of former Prime Minister Zeon Daken escorted Dejin Sodo Zabi back to Muzo with the help of the Earth Federation is undoubtedly the most exciting news for Muzo now.
Moreover, the direction that the convoy carrying Artesia was headed was something that people could not ignore.
Perhaps, because the news of Artesia escorting Dekin with the help of the Earth Federation spread, the Earth Federation convoy, which had originally suffered some sporadic attacks, gradually became smoother.
Obviously in the early planning, it was planned to take a lot of effort to clear the road, but it inexplicably became smooth before the Earth Federation convoy arrived.
This made the commander leading the team feel surprised.
"80% of it is because the local forces in Muzo are watching and trying to show favor to you, the daughter of former Prime Minister Zeon Daken."
Yuko sat neatly across from Artesia and told her the results she had calculated after her calculations.
Under the black veil, Artesia's expression seemed not to be so clear.
She looked through the half-dark car window at the streets littered with wreckage, with a burning building appearing from time to time, and fell into silence for a long time.
Until, the convoy arrived at a place that was once regarded as a holy place by the Zeon Republic, the predecessor of the Principality of Zeon, the cemetery of former Prime Minister Zeon Shim Daken.
The Earth Federation's convoy stopped in front of the locked gate of the cemetery.
Originally, the convoy could directly break open the gate, but the commander of the convoy did not issue this order considering Artesia's feelings.
After Artesia expressed her heartfelt thanks for this arrangement, she stepped out of the armored vehicle and walked to the gate accompanied by Yuko.
"There seems to be someone over there."
Yuko pointed to the small house not far away, and then pointed to the lock on the door.
"I can open it."
Artesia shook her head, stretched out her hand to pull up the door's ring, and banged it on the door panel a few times.
"Dang!"
"Dang!!"
The heavy noise broke the tranquility of the cemetery and caused a commotion in the small house.
"Damn bastards! This is not a place for you to run wild! This is the place where former Prime Minister Zeon Shim Daken rests forever! If Lord Daken hadn't led you to resist the tyranny of the Earth Federation, would you still be here today?
?!"
Amidst the hysterical screams, an old man with an old face, white hair, and a shotgun in his hand angrily rushed out of the small house and looked at Artesia and Yuko who were standing by the door.
.
The next second, the still angry old man was stunned and seemed to be unable to react.
This is a scene I haven’t seen in many years.
Wearing a long black gauze dress, with her face covered by a black veil, she looked like a guest who had come to pay homage to her predecessors.
If it weren't for the Earth Federation convoy behind them, I'm afraid this old man would have already reacted.
"Old man, could you please open the door and let me in... to pay my respects... to pay my respects to the former Prime Minister Zeon Shim Daken?"
Artesia's eyes moved slightly, and she finally understood why this cemetery had not yet been killed by those fanatics.
The fundamental reason is probably the reason why this old man fought so hard to protect him!
"Forehead……"
The old man blinked, turned around quickly, put the shotgun back in the small house, stepped forward quickly, took out the key, and opened the door for Artesia.
"Sorry, sorry! There has been some chaos here in Muzuo recently. In order to prevent the cemetery from being destroyed by those ungrateful bastards, I can only lock the gate."
"No! Thank you very much, old man!"
As the door slowly opened, and after 11 years, she once again set foot in this cemetery, and once again came to the cemetery of her father Zeon Shim Daken, Artesia's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
With.
"Let's go! Yuko."
The next moment Artesia took Yuko into the cemetery, Dejin, who was being escorted by Earth Federation soldiers and A Liang, also staggered past the old man.
"etc!"
The old man shouted subconsciously, but attracted the alert and cold eyes of the Earth Federation soldiers.
This shocked the old man.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said.
"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean to stop you. It's just that he, he is Dejin Zabi?"
"Yes."
The Earth Federation soldiers nodded and ignored the old man.
When they followed Artesia's footsteps, the old man was shocked, his feet softened, and he knelt down on the ground.
He recognized it.
His confirmation came out.
The girl just now wearing a long black gauze dress with the black gauze covering her face is probably the daughter of the former Prime Minister and Lady Astraea.
"It's so, so similar! So similar!! Lord Daken, Lord Daken, your daughter is back!! Your and Lady Astraya's daughter is back! And she brought that damn Dekin-Za with her.
Bi is back!!!”
Yuko, who was following Artesia, couldn't help but look back. She knew the old man's howling.
However, she couldn't understand it and could only record it silently.
The grass is green, the flowers are in bloom, and the bronze statue of Zeon Shim Daken is still standing here after 11 years.
And behind the bronze statue is his final resting place.
Artesia stood in front of the bronze statue, raised her head, and looked at the bronze statue through the black veil.
"It turns out that 11 years have passed."
Artesia sighed quietly.
"But I can no longer remember what my father looked like."
Artesia closed her eyes and tried to recall her father's appearance, but she was still unable to picture Zeon Shim Daken's appearance.
The only thing I remember is that my father's beard was very prickly and painful, but it made the young Artesia feel at ease.
But, all of this, on that day, Artesia lost the support that made her feel stinging, painful and reassuring.
"Dejin Zabi. Do you still remember what my father looks like?"
When Artesia opened her eyes again, Dejin Zabi had been pushed under the bronze statue by Earth Federation soldiers.
Dejin gasped and almost fell to the ground.
After taking deep breaths, he tried his best to stand up.
"No, I don't remember."
After taking a few deep breaths, Dejin stood proudly in front of Artesia.
The outcome has already been determined.
He didn't want to, let alone be timid in front of Daken's daughter, or even beg for mercy.
"Really? The obvious answer. Isn't it?"
Artesia received a pistol from the Earth Federation commander.
"Crack!"
Bullets loaded.
The crisp sound made Dejin Zabi tremble all over.
"Are you scared?"
Artesia smiled lightly and pointed the gun at Dejin Zabi.
"No."
Dekin-Zabi laughed.
"Yes. If you are so scared, I will look down on my father."
Artesia raised her gaze, looked at the bronze statue, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
Loud gunfire tore apart the tranquility of the cemetery.
