Broken hunger

"Look, say what you have to say and move to our new goal," you respond stoically.

"Hell, no I want answers!" Ariana is clearly angry at the secrets and falseness through the entire process.

"I want them, too. But do you really think that they will give the answers just like we're snapping fingers?" You made the gesture, they won't answer our questions, so we have to go to the point where we get what we want.

"A very clever guess, Silverman. You come across as promising. We will see."Steven sounds pleased. "You could go now and have a small tiny noble responsibility, a simpler place without any dangers, and all the advantages of not being dinner or without being conscripted by the war. An easy existence, far beyond your previous station. "

A dramatic pause fills the luxury ship of dread and a tense sense of urgency, You will have to choose immediately your destiny... You look at the dark eyes of Ariana and sees that she is undergoing the same emotional roller coaster you are living.

"But that is not what you both or anyone who aspires to be a noble wants. Only the ones that take the risks can rip off the real benefits of becoming a real noble; a real governor, or politician who controls entire planets... But of course, It has a risk: A duel in groups you and Ariana against the other two soldiers candidates. It is the traditional way for soldiers who want becoming nobles; the romantically called trial of blades, a very old term as it is a mecha tournament.

"So our victory will be enough to save our respective crews" The feeling you could save your men makes you feel warm.

"If you agree to fight for a real nobility status quo. You will be offered 3 rewards to choose from."

"The government of your planet.'

"Save your crew and ship."

"Live in luxury In Our capital planet."

But the first question is whether you will risk it and fighting for the Nobility or accept a peaceful retirement.


"I have it clear, says Ariana with total conviction; I will fight for the Nobility."

"It is great to have a brave contestant. Now, Captain Silverman. What is your choice?

A glorious duelling against mighty foes... That's the ultimate goal of a real Cougar warrior, of a Paladin. Yet, in a way, you could imagine a simpler life, maybe having your own dojo, create your own discipline that taught to the new Cougar's generations"

"Come on, Silverman. Don't let me alone on this. We have achieved a lot together. This is a piece of cake, just mecha combat! We are Aces on that!" Ariana implores with his black eyes shining due to the tears. "Don't let me alone to do this, please..."

"It's The moment of truth, you must choose." Steven's voice roars out, bordering the hysterical which causes the sudden standstill of everyone around you as if the universe hanging on waiting for your choice.
