Of course, Claire's character will make her life more tiring than Miriam and Lecter, but this is also part of her charm.
The most typical example is winning Yuna's respect.
Look at Yuna's attitude towards the Imperial people, and then look at her attitude towards Claire. It's obvious that Claire led the railway gendarmerie and captured many Crossbell people who were still resisting.
"You have actually done a very good job. You have given 'his' orders, the position of the 'Iron-Blooded Son', and you have to take into account all other aspects and take care of people. I don't think anyone sitting in your position can be better than
You do better."
Being praised so blatantly by Rean, Claire felt a little embarrassed:
"Actually, I... am not as powerful as you said. I am really small and have nothing... If you didn't give me a hand, I might just disappear."
"So you became the 'iron-blooded son'."
"Yes."
Regarding the whole story, before Rean came back, he had heard from Claire about the tragic past that happened to the Levitt family, a famous musical instrument manufacturer in the empire.
To put it simply, Claire's parents and younger brother were killed by Claire's uncle. Claire was aware of the truth, but as a child at the time, she did not have the power to bring down her uncle.
At this time, the prime minister appeared, giving Claire an opportunity to take revenge. In the end, Claire sent her uncle to the trial stand and sentenced him to death.
And Michael is the child of Uncle Claire, Claire's cousin, Erwin Michael's mother's surname. After his father was executed, he changed his mother's surname.
With this relationship, the relationship between the brother and sister has become more subtle. The Irving family is really good to Claire because of the revenge for killing her father. The entanglement between the two families is like a mess that cannot be solved.
Chaos.
That’s why Claire always shows a sad expression, such as when she mentions Levitt’s past, when she meets Michael, or now.
"You didn't do anything wrong. I can assert that, and it will be the same next time. Do what you think and I will support you in my heart, although I may not necessarily stand on the same front as you."
Hearing Rean's comfort, Claire's expression improved, she tilted her head slightly and said softly.
"The same goes for you. Over the past year, you have accepted requests from the imperial government and used extraordinary powers like the God of Riding, but you have been implementing your own will and working hard as a member of Class VII."
"Actually, I'm not as handsome as you said." Li En touched his head and smiled stupidly, "But to be seen through by you to this extent, I really deserve to be an 'Ice Maiden'."
Claire chuckled: "I started to feel a little embarrassed about that name. Before I knew it, I was already over twenty-five years old."
"Really? I can't tell when it happened. The Major hasn't changed at all."
Li En shook his head quickly. He knew exactly what to say at this time. He couldn't say that he had changed, let alone that he really couldn't tell.
"Instructor Sarah——"
"Ah, you are whispering again."
A whistling voice broke in, a very recognizable voice that was familiar to both of them.
Una Crawford, their common student.
It turned out that while chatting, the two of them had walked through most of the train and arrived at the dining car, which was the most crowded place.
"I'm not whispering, I'm taking Rean to see the train and have a chat." Claire calmed down her emotions and explained.
"What are you talking about?" Yuna asked curiously.
Rean answered: "Talk about age, Major Claire feels that she is not suitable for the title of 'Ice Maiden' - what do you think?"
"No way." Yuna shook her head more exaggeratedly than Rean, "Instructor Claire looks the same as before, only a little older than us, only one or two years old, and younger than Instructor Rean. He always looks the same."
It’s too old-fashioned to put on a poker face.”
It is a taboo to praise someone and criticize someone in person, but at this moment, Li En just felt that what Yuna said was right, so right, and secretly gave Yuna a look of approval.
As a result, Yuna failed to understand: "Instructor Li En, what do you think I did? Did I say something wrong?"
Rean rubbed his nose and looked at the sky. It would be wrong to say more at this time. After all, they have only been together for three weeks, and they are still far from a tacit understanding.
"Yuna, you can't say that. Your instructor is really amazing. It's a very lucky thing to be his student." Claire felt sorry for Li En.
"I know, Instructor Rean is a great person and a hero of the empire, but he is a little worse than Instructor Claire."
The frankly excessive words made Claire helpless for a while, and she could only tap her head lightly.
"You."
Yuna chuckled, suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Claire nervously.
"By the way, Instructor Claire, you must be careful about Instructor Rean. He is very good at treating women. You must not be deceived by her."
"Is that so?" Claire glanced at Rean with a half-smile.
Rean continued to look up at the sky.
When did I have a way with women? How could I not know?
Claire asked again: "How did you know?"
Yuna didn’t hide anything and confessed everything:
"Part of it is what Yal said, part of it is senior Randy's judgment, and part of it is my own personal experience."
Rean: "..."
Forget it, Altina. After all, she lacks common sense. This is not the first time.
What happened to Randy? I didn't seem to be offended...well, I seemed to be offended during the free day.
Claire's focus was different, and her expression immediately became serious: "What's going on with your own personal experience?"
"It's just...it's just..." Yuna said without thinking, but now she feels shy when she thinks about it.
The more she behaves like this, the more Claire becomes suspicious: "What's going on? Rean, can you—"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Li En said that he must not take the blame, otherwise he would become a scumbag who attacks students.
"Some experiences are just similar to mine. Ask yourself for details."
Neither of them would say anything, and Claire said that no matter how strong her analytical skills were, she still couldn't analyze it.
But at this time, there are new variables emerging.
"What? Yuna's face is so red."
"Did something happen to Instructor Rean and Major Claire?"
"What, Instructor Rean?"
"There is gossip!"
Not only that, someone noticed a few people in the corner.
The dining car is spacious and has enough tables and chairs, so there are most students
Boys and girls, when their curiosity is strong, and the target is the instructor, someone starts to make a move, and no matter who can hold it back, they all gather around.
It was so fierce that Yuna's scalp felt numb, and she didn't look as fearless as usual.
