But he didn't return. Not him, not the platoon he brought. The reports came back that it was an ambush and no one was alive.

So she was sad. Very sad for a while. And then she decided on what she wanted to do.

Neva : how are you doing ? I heard your lover died.

Nana ; fiancee. He promised to marry me when he came back. He even.... I lost it...

Neva : what are you going to do now ?

Nana : return to army.

Neva : the company you were attached to got disassembled .

Nana ; I'll just go to another one. Find out who ambushed my Izuya. Kill him.

Neva : why don't you marry me ? For business sake. I want to get my father's assets back from the clan. Then with my own, I want to rebuild my own organisation. The kind which can reach far and wide . Can help you to find the death of your lover.

Nana : business only.

Neva: yes.

Nana ; ok. Deal.

__________________________________

She did as she said she would. She re-enlisted with another company after the wedding had ended.

After 10 months, she returned back to her new home after she received a letter.

Neva : you're back.

Nana : a baby ? You and your lover's ?

Neva ; yes. A girl. Her name is ilise.

Nana ; none of my business. Go raise her somewhere quietly. Why do I have to come back and raise her ?! Why won't you answer your calls !! You're lucky I'm on a week break.

Neva : I want to raise her like our own.

Nana : then... How about your lover ?

Neva ; she'll be fine. She will come see from time to time. Secretly.

Garlis brought the baby over " Mistress. " Nana walked over and looked at the baby. She took her pulse " she's sick. "

Neva : birth defect.

Nana : I know.

Neva : army changed you a lot.

Nana : you will too, if you see dead people. Every day.

Neva : so ? It's for business too.

Nana sighed " I'll correct her missing stomach. How is she eating now ?"

Garlis : with liquid into her body directly.

Nana : that is the usual procedure. He has so much money, why didn't he get someone to correct this ?

Garlis : master is waiting for you to do it. Said you're the best option.

Nana : .... Fine. I'll tell everyone I'm the mother.

Garlis ; and you have to stay till she turns 2

Nana ; that's a year and a half.

Garlis ; the clan will be sending people to ask when she turns one. And then other gossips and people will come by to check. So you need to stay till it blows over.

Nana : fine. I'll take a leave.

Garlis: I can help you with that. Mistress.

" Fine. " Nana drops her army bag to the floor " where's my room ?"
