Theory of Conspiracy: The Resemblances
"I'm sorry, Kira," Cagalli patted her brothers back as she let go of their hug. She had calmed down and she felt extremely sorry for accusing Kira of something so mean. Kira nodded his head and squeezed her hand.
"It's okay. I know it must be hard for you. I'm sorry too, for not being able to protect you," he said in regret.
"I also want to say sorry to you, Lacus," Cagalli told Lacus apologetically. "I know you never lie, but that time… I think I really should learn to be a patient person, huh?"
"No need to apologize," Lacus smiled as she thought how would she feel if Siegel Clyne suddenly appeared in front of her then she found out that the man was only a fake. "I understand your feeling. It must be hard for you."
"So... does anyone bother to tell me who that man is?" Cagalli asked curiously.
Kira looked at Lacus, Lacus looked at Athrun, Athrun… sighed and gave them a 'why-must-me' look on his face.
"Well, his real name is Agnus Relgion. He had a face which look like your father's by chance and knowing how you will react to your father's order, the Seirans paid him to disguise as Uzumi-sama."
"The Seirans!" Cagalli moaned in disgust. Every wrong thing that happened in Orb seemed to be their action. "I will kick Unato from the council as soon as I get out of this place, and this time is for sure!" she swore angrily. Kira's eyes sparkled when he heard those words. He never liked the Seirans, though. Mainly for doing bad things to his sister.
"Do you still need my information?" asked Athrun playfully. Cagalli shut her mouth and nodded her head quickly.
"The guy who shot you, he was one of their mob. The main plan was to get your agreement on the development of the research center, then kill you so the Seirans could rule this country. Relgion's role was only as a decoy to get your agreement."
Cagalli's amber eyes showed dangerous glint as she clenched her fists. Kira and Athrun sweat dropped when she muttered something about sending every Seiran in this world to the land of Tartarus in a very evil tone under her breath. She was totally pissed, especially because the Seirans used her father's name. Can't they pay a respect to the death! Cagalli shouted inside her mind. And of all people, my father! Why you…
Lacus had to calm the other princess down when Cagalli began to curse uncontrollably. After a quarter hour full of soothing and coaxing words, Cagalli regained her self control. There was still one thing she wanted to know.
"Where is this Agnus now?" Cagalli stared at Athrun.
"Justice Penitentiary. Why?" he gave a questioning look.
"You'll see…"
Cagalli gazed at the man who resembled her father. The strong face, the sharp look, the way he stood and the way he looked at her, every point of his appearance sent Cagalli to the memories of the former leader of Orb. She could feel her heart ached when the man threw his face to another direction.
"Good morning, Mr. Relgion," she greeted him politely, just as the way she would greet the real Uzumi.
"What do you want?" he hissed rudely.
Cagalli took a deep breath, she really must convince herself to not abuse this man. However, she felt an unusual similarity between this man with her father. The similarity which gave her an urge to see him again.
"I want to thank you," Cagalli smiled softly, making Agnus to stare in shock.
"Wha—" Agnus' words were cut when Cagalli jumped to him without any warning.
"Thanks for being my father, although it was a part of Seiran's evil plan. Thanks for the praises you said, thanks for the chats we had, thanks for the time we spent together as a family… thanks for everything," Cagalli sobbed on his shirt.
At first, Agnus only stood without doing anything. But then, he put his arms around her shoulder and hugged her back.
"My daughter, she was a big fan of you. She joined the army to protect Orb but she died in the second war. I've never had the chance to say that I love her, thus I blamed you for being not able to prevent the war! That's why I accept this job when Seiran offered it to me. I'm sorry, Representative Athha. I'm very sorry…" tears streamed down Agnus' face. Cagalli understood Agnus' feeling. She too didn't have the chance to tell her father of how much she loved him.
"Then don't tell me you're sorry, tell me that you love me," Cagalli croaked. Her chest felt heavy from the emotion she held. For a moment she could feel her father was there, giving her his warm protective embrace by using Agnus' hands. However, she knew the man she hugged was not her father and she understood perfectly that she must not contemplate him as Uzumi. But this was her last chance to let her real father, wherever he was, that she loved him.
"I love you… my precious daughter. I really love you," Agnus whispered shakily. His words sent somekind of warmth to Cagalli's heart.
"I love you too, Father."

Lacus: No, thank you. I'm neutral
