Editing HEAVY OBJECT:Volume11 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 12===

The scent of roses filled the small cockpit.

That may have been because she had sprayed the wine of hatred on her skin and hair to cover up the rusted iron smell.

Azureyfear Winchell wore the kind of full-body skintight suits that Pilot Elites wore. Its design was reminiscent of blue mourning clothes with a long skirt. A thin smile could be seen on the lips covered by a translucent veil and a trail of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

She was not a Pilot Elite, so she could not actually pilot the Object. The control system was still reliant on the Orchestra System that used tens of thousands of people in dozens of stealth submarines and satellites.

Normally, her presence there would have been unnecessary.

Pilot Elites had been thoroughly optimized in unspeakable ways, but not even they could endure the burden of the inertial Gs produced by the Destruction Fes. Boarding that Object was more than just reckless; it was suicidal.

Then why had Azureyfear done so?

She sat in that tiny and cramped cockpit with her limbs sprawled out limply and her breathing far too shallow.

Red blood dripped not just from her mouth, but from her nose, ears, and eyes too. Nevertheless, the Blue Rose smiled.

“Honestly, what a hopeless brother.”

The conflict between the Winchell and Vanderbilt families could not be stopped.

It had continued for centuries and it would likely continue for centuries more.

She had no way of fighting that, so she had reached a certain conclusion.

“If he intends to push aside all the many other candidates and inherit the Winchell family, then he cannot be so indecisive.”

A hint of happiness filled the Blue Rose’s face.

“Winchell or Vanderbilt? Your own sister or your lover? The time has come to choose.”

If she had simply brought the issue to him directly, Heivia would likely have insisted that he would protect it all, that he would not lose his family or his lover, and that he did not care if that made him indecisive.

But that gray decision would create many enemies. He could easily find himself ostracized by both Winchell and Vanderbilt.

She could not let that happen.

She had said from the beginning that she was taking on the decision her brother should have made.

“Now, brother. Please work towards your own happiness.”

She did not have the courage to publically celebrate his marriage.

Unlike her brother, she could not boldly claim she would bring an end to a centuries-old tradition.

Nevertheless, she had made her decision.

Since her indecisive brother would not, she would choose his lover over her in his stead. If the son of Winchell risked his life to protect the daughter of Vanderbilt, he would have the starting point he needed to make an attack on his seemingly impossible task.

“Kill me and continue forward!!”
