"Uncle Alex! Commander Alex, please help us!" Shouted the girl who was unyielding.
Inside the military's main office...
Alex stretched his muscles that had stiffened. Not to forget he also tidied up the documents on his desk, storing the data he had listed and several other things. He also did not forget to make a copy-paste of the documents he had made, just in case someone made a fraud.
"Huh, I'm finally done too. Now, I can focus on learning the science of poison making," he murmured softly.
He knows his position now. He spoke, muttering very slowly. Afraid of someone filming him or doing anything that could blow him away. He still remembered the events of Russell at that time, also he knew many people who liked him. Not because of the prophecy at that time, but because of their cynical gaze after knowing Alex was even appointed as commander at the headquarters.
As he stood up from his seat, he faintly heard a commotion by calling out his name. It seemed, she heard the voice of the little girl asking for help, but afterwards she also heard someone pushing her away loudly.
"Truly inhuman! I can't stay still" murmured Alex.
Alex out of his room. He saw a guard who was also his subordinate was scolding the little boy who begged him. He was even caught being rude to the girl.
"God! Just ask for protection with your gods. Why do we have to protect yourself and put our own lives at risk?" Screeched at the man while pushing the petite body of the girl before him. Alex quickly ran over and caught the little girl so she wouldn't fall.
"Thank you, Uncle," said the girl so cute.
Very cute,~Batin Alex.
This guy is so cruel. How could he be rude to this cute little boy?~Next in heart.
Alex immediately remembered his childhood which was always treated badly by everyone around him. He recalled the time when he had to march with his comrades, yet he was pushed by them so violently. Worse, no one helped her until Verrel arrived and helped her fight them all.
Not only with fellow children, when Alex just wanted to shake hands with his teacher like other students, his teacher firmly pushed Alex to the ground.
"God! I wouldn't want to mess up my hands for an unlucky disciple like you. There I'll fuck seven derivatives if I shake hands with you. If you're not the son of Mr. Russell, maybe this school is also reluctant to accept you" said Alex's teacher who is still recorded clearly in his brain.
Or when she helps a child who has just fallen, or poops in her pants. Or maybe when they are sick or faint. When no child would approach her, because of the smell and everything else. Instead of getting appreciation from the parents of the students he helped, but he only get insulted and encouraged so he had to suffer injuries and bruises.
"Co-commander. Commander Alex? What are you doing here?" Asked the guard in a nervous and frightened tone.
Alex has been brought back from his reverie.
"You ask why? You think I'll go deaf when I hear someone yelling my name?" Ask Alex.
The guard was silent. He didn't dare answer anything from Alex.
"What is this that this country's military academy teaches to soldiers like you?" Ask Alex.
The man seemed to be holding on to anger. He finally evaporated his emotions in front of Alex and it certainly seized the attention of some parties at the headquarters.
"Why really? Is it because your rank is higher than mine, that you can do as you please? Is it because you're more everything you can beat the weaker ones?" The man asked Alex.
Alex crossed both his hands on his chest, looking so arrogant.
"Forward your opinion. I want to hear it" Alex said.
"Hey everybody!" It was the man who made everyone gather there.
"Look at your arrogant new commander. He even insulted our military academy! He doesn't deserve to be a commander!" The urge provokes everything.
Hehe. I could use this opportunity to throw him out. I'm sick of being a guard here. He who is a new person can immediately become a commander and I swabnya just because he is the son of a former commander-in-chief of the country who even until now still no one can replace him, he said,~In the man.
Some of those who were jealous and hated by Alex also defended the man, insulting and berating Alex, making the masses more and more on their side of the guilty. Meanwhile, some other people just fell silent and analyzed or even just participated in protesting Alex, some were exposed to incitement from one party's opinion.
The girl who had seemed to be silent was terrified, now she stood in the middle of them to bear witness. He's undaunted. He was not afraid to be killed with the man who had saved him.
"Uncle, aunt, everything's enough!" The little girl screamed a little. That shout managed to make them silent.
"Uncle, please help them. Help my family, help everyone" the little girl asked.
No, he's not defending Alex in a way that's against everyone. He defends Alex in his own way, with him whining and crying for help so they all know what Alex means is right. To let them all know what the guard was doing was wrong, the man had abandoned a people they were supposed to serve.
"Can the business here be ruled out? There are tens, hundreds or even thousands of people's lives depending on us. Are you guys gonna shut up?" Ask Alex.
"But many soldiers have been killed, commander," someone said.
"Tch. Just waste time talking and telling cowards like you!" Alex Exclamations.
"Sir, show me the way to where you are" said Alex.
"Certainly uncle? Is it true that uncle will help me?" Ask the little girl.
Alex chimed in with a nod. While the little girl pulled Alex's hand and led him to a place. However, when Alex just came out of his office, he saw someone like spying on the office or maybe he was after the beautiful little girl.
"Sir, can you wait here for a moment? I'll call my friend" Alex asked.
"Yes, man."
