Chapter 123 - Can I Live A Peaceful Life?

Ch-123

"But the Terrorists demanded that if we don't hand over the team which participated in the secret operation on Leuod by disguising themselves as the Leuod they threatened to kill the president. 

"We agreed after a long discussion. We made a plan to rescue both Our President and our men. We rescued everyone alive. But the captain of the Team Henrieth Hazegroove left this world when he was admitted into the hospital. The remaining team members are safe. But they need some time to recover," he said seriously as he looked at the camera. 

"We checked with their families and informed them. They will be able to meet with their families," The young President said coldly.

"President, then what about Mr. Hazegroove? He is an orphan. To whom his ashes and his possessions will be given," the reporter asked without knowing that she raised a silent storm in her already messed up heart. Chasina felt complicated when she heard these words. 

Andrus Ajax Blaz chuckled a bit lightly. His chilly laughter resounded through his mike.

"His possessions aren't neither yours nor society. As for his burial, the government will take care of him. After All, he is one of the great soldiers of this country. He is dead. So, Please give some respect to him and the people who cared for him," he said icily.

Even though he is smiling. He is not smiling. His smile looked like a venomous snake bite. His crescent-shaped eyes exuded a cold glint. 

His eyes warned him not to mess with him.

Chasina is stunned at his answer. If one comprehends his words carefully, he is defending her.

He. Is. Actually. Defending. Her!

She didn't expect this from him. 

She is in a daze for some time.

She stared at his face noticing his clear features. 

He looked clean and neat. He has tanned skin. His skin has pores that are formed by his extreme tiredness and stress. 

The host felt terrified when she saw his expression. She is a little nervous when she hears the President is going to give his first interview in their show. And also she is aware of his personality. Everyone knew about his ruthless character. But now she is facing. She gulped as she remembered her script. 

"Now, how are you going to deal with the military, Mr. President? It is a known rumor that the military is always trying to pin the blame on Ms.Chasina Rosella, Who is soon to become an Ex-Commissioner. And as we all know that she risked her life two years back to save the Finance minister and his family. She was almost dead at that time. Just because she is the fiancee of Mr. Henrieth Hazegroove, and has an involvement in the past with this case, does it mean she has to take the blame for the suddenly popped up troop of Leuod. And we know after she rescued the minister the military helped the secret teams to help to clear Leuod. Now the whole country is waiting for your answer, sir? What are you gonna say, sir?" The host asked.

Actually, this question was added at the last minute. No one knows why the director wanted to add this question all of a sudden.

He also said if the president doesn't want to answer then they will just skip it. After All, it's a live show. Asking such kind of question is no less than attempting suicide. 

The slight curve on his lips deepened more and his eyes held an arrogant flicker. Even Chasina, who is watching him through a screen can feel chills in her spine. She pitied the host. 

He is so powerful, just his gaze is enough for someone to feel scared. His smile reached his eyes. His eyes turned into slime slits. His gaze is like he is watching his prey trying to hide in his den.

A peal of devilish laughter left his throat. His throat vibrated at his laugh. Everyone felt like they were watching a Scary Demon.

"Do you think I will let the innocent take the blame? Alvonia is known as a large democratic country in this world. One of the points written in the constitution is "even if a hundred criminals have escaped an innocent cannot be punished!'' We follow this. We won't push crimes on anyone just to close the case. This case will be handled by the Presidential teams further on. The military can only comply with them and cooperate in taking on the investigation!"

"Furthermore, she is not involved in the case this time. She won't be dragged in this case," The young president said. 

"Then we must be happy with our favorite idol. My dear fellow citizens, you heard the president. So, are you happy?" she asked the audience who sat on the

The opposite side of the set.

Loud happy cheers can be heard.

At that time a person from the audience got up and asked, "sir, then what are you going to do about the military officials who sought trouble with her in the past few days?"

Andrus' expression did not change. Instead, his face stayed neutral and calm. 

He looked over at that audience and then looked at the host, "Please pass a mic to them," he said with a ghostly smile.

The host ordered the production team to pass a mic to them.

"If they sought trouble with her then they would be punished according to the law," the young president replied.

"Thank You, sir," the youth said.

He smiled and skimmed his eyes through everyone.

"I know that Ms. Chasina is a great person who fought for the country in an unknown situation and saved a lot of effort and time for the country. 

"But may I know why you guys are so concerned about her?" the young president asked as he gazed at the audience.

Everyone started saying and became chaotic in a few minutes. The host stood up from her seat and controlled them. She asked them to reply one by one.

"Sir, you may not know. She is the first woman to rise to the ranks of the senior commissioner. And also I haven't seen a woman with that strong character. Let's take the recent examples, her wedding is stopped in the middle, she is slandered, she is almost taken advantage of by the military. But despite all these things she stood strong and brave. I wish to see her in politics but it's too bad she is resigning from her job and leaving the police organization. She is taking over her deceased father's business. My country lost a good civil servant," a certain audience said.

"Thanks for letting me know, dear," the President responded to the youth.

When that 17 or 18-year-old guy heard he was mentioned as dear. He felt overjoyed. A smile crept on his face. His ears turned red.

"I wish Ms. Rosella is watching this. And she must be very honored since she is recognized by the president of our country. And we hope she won't be resigning," the host said after settling in her seat. 

"Ms, she is already recognized by the citizens. So, it's not a big thing that I knew about her,"

"Next question please," the president asked. Which meant just continuing with the interview enough of your silly questions about some other person. 

And soon, the host continued with her questions. 

She spoke about the threatening issue in the military where it is rumored that Alvonia is not sparing good arms and ammunition for the military. Due to that even if there is a war, they won't be able to fight due to the damaged arms. The president replied tactfully for it.

They spoke about the upcoming changes which are going to be made in the country. And also about the effects of the power change. 

And also the elections which are in eleven months. 

The interview took place for two hours. Most of the news channels and media are telecasting the interview. 

Chasina felt shocked. 

"Dad, it's been three days, since the power change, why is he appearing only now

?" Chasina asked with uncertainty.

"He rejected everything. But because the interview is demanded by the citizens he agreed to give this today. The news about his interview is spread out only in the morning. He made time on the request of citizens," Alexander said.

"But why does he reject the interviews?" Chasina asked. 

Alexander smiled at her slightly.

"Because he is not a celebrity to appear in front of the citizens. He is the ruler of our country. And his job is to tend to commend citizens' requests. And he appeared when he pledged for the country. But it is not enough for the media. So they made a mess the past few days. That's one of the reasons your incident died down," Alexander said.

"But it's strange that he bought up my name. something's fishy!" she said.

"What made you think like that!?"Alexander asked with his wide eyes.

"Because a president is asking about myself in a live show. And asked why I'm given importance? There is more that reaches eyes," Chasina said.

She felt she was overthinking but she couldn't help feeling something was off.

"Don't overthink it!"Alexander said.

"There was huge silence between them.

"Dad....."

"Hmmm....."

"Can I not have the luxury of a peaceful life?" Chasina said catching him off guard. He turned his head to see her face only to see tears falling from her eyes as they reflected under the pale moonlight.
