"Countdown 10 seconds!"
In the self-destruct chamber, Milian was completely overwhelmed by her emotions.
She cried out the final countdown, and then, unable to resist the coming despair, she turned and hugged Major Fraser next to her as if seeking refuge.
This action made the Major's body stiff on the spot.
It was a shame that although he came from a noble family and was already 30 years old, his experiences with relationships were still blank. The most intimate interaction he had with any woman was a gentlemanly invitation to a dance at a ball.
But he knew that Milian's actions didn't represent anything at this time.
She was just simply scared.
This was the instinctive reaction of fragile humans when faced with death. It didn't represent weakness or ugliness.
He could completely understand Milian's fear because he was also experiencing similar emotional shock at that moment.
