"Yes, I also think that Lelouch is doing very well! However, I was a little worried about Yuffie!”
Cornelia was born in Lelouch and had placed all her attention on him. Therefore, she was even more aware of Lelouch's change than Mariana. It seemed that they were part of the reason. She had always wanted to become Lelouch's best sword, so she was very satisfied with Lelouch's demeanor as a king. However, looking at Yuffie who was doted on by Lelouch, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
Yuffie was too gentle!
"Me?"
Yuffie opened her big watery eyes and looked at her sister curiously.
"That's right! You just follow behind everyone you see with a smile. You don't have any vigilance at all!”
Cornelia bent down and rubbed Yuffie's little head as she spoke seriously.
"Ah, this is exactly what Yuffie feels like!”
Mariana nodded in agreement. As a member of the royal family of Holy Bunitania, and even the third princess, Yuffie's personality was as pure as a piece of white paper. Her existence could be said to be like Lelouch, an anomaly in the royal family.
"Mother and her relatives are very troubled. That way, if a bad person appeared in front of her, she would probably happily follow him.”
"That's why I let the two little fellows stay together and let them fuse with each other!”
Mariana sighed again.
Nonette, who was listening attentively to their conversation, asked Bertolis quietly,""If we fuse His Highness Lelouch and Her Highness Ufemia together and then separate them, will it be a boy or a girl?”
"Nonette, I think your words are really stupid!”
Bertolis pushed up her glasses and said venomously,
"I say, you have such a gentle face, why do you always say such outrageous things, Bertoris?”
Nonette pouted and looked at his good friend with dissatisfaction.
"Because I'm just stating a fact!”
Bertolis 'personality seemed to be gradually approaching Mariana's, becoming more and more black-bellied.
"Bertolis is evil!"
Nonette continued to look at Bertolis in grief, and Bertolis continued to respond to Nonette mercilessly,""Thank you!"
The continuous blows already made Nonette feel like crying.
" Wahhh…Wahhh…"
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the quiet courtyard. It came from the door in the distance. The sound gradually approached and became clearer.
This was the cry of a baby!
It wasn't the heartbroken Nonette, but the cry of a baby.
"Na Nali!"
Lelouch, who had been standing there quietly, suddenly turned pale and said in surprise. He could tell that this was the cry of his younger sister, Na Nali, who had just been born.
Everyone turned around and saw a tall figure walking toward them at the end of the gravel path. This man was wearing a special knight's uniform and a cloak that only twelve people were allowed to wear in the entire country. On his broad shoulders, his face was as deep as a sculpture, reflecting the strength of a martial artist. However, it was not bad up to this point. It was all filled with the heavy feeling unique to a valiant knight. However, what completely ruined this image was that his hands were clumsily holding the cute baby wrapped in soft velvet.
"Waah…"
"N-Lady Na Nali, it's okay. It's not scary, not scary at all. Look, look…"
Even though he tried his best to put on a strange face to coax the child in his hands, his face was still too scary for a child. The forced smile was like a ghost's smile. It was completely useless to coax the child.
This baby was Mariana's other child, Lelouch's sister, Princess Nunnally VI Britania of the Holy Britania Empire. Not long ago, Mariana handed Nunnally, who was still sleeping, to Bismarck. However, she did not expect her to wake up so soon. In other words, Na Nali had been sleeping soundly until she woke up in Bismarck's hands.
"Waah…"
Seeing such a boorish man make an even stranger expression, Na Nali's cries became even more intense. From the looks of it, the more Bismarck tried to coax Na Nali, the more frightened she became. It had become a vicious cycle.
Looking at the scene from afar, Cornelia was so shocked that she almost burst out laughing. As Nonette and Bertolis recognized the noble identity of the other party, they suppressed the laughter in their hearts, but their cheeks were also puffed up.
The closer the man got, the more she laughed. Nonette and Bertolis turned their faces away, their bodies twitching.
(I can't take it anymore, Bertolis!）
(No, we must hold it in. We can't be rude in front of this lord!)）
The two girls 'faces were flushed red. They communicated through their eyes. Their reverence for that man was fighting fiercely with their body's instincts.
"Even the most powerful Knight of the Round Table in the Empire is helpless, Lord Bismarck!”
Seeing the dilemma of her two good friends, Cornelia stepped forward and asked.
"Your Highness Cornelia, no, this is Lady Mariana forcing me!”
The man with a very troubled expression, the former Fifth Knight, the current leader of the Knights of the Round Table, the first and only Knight of the Round Table, Bismarck Waldstedt, quickly explained,""I don't have a wife or children. I said it was impossible from the beginning!”
He was able to command the Britania army calmly and never thought that such a day would come. If the enemies who had died under his sword were to see this scene, would they crawl out of hell in shame and anger?
"Oh, you make it sound like I'm bad.”
Mariana looked at ease, but the smile in her eyes revealed her true intentions.
"I didn't mean to tease you, so I asked you to take care of Nunnally.”
"You're not deliberately teasing me? Really?"
Bismarck's eyes were filled with suspicion. Judging from Mariana's expression and tone, he knew that she would wake up if she knew that Na Nali was in his hands. She had already foreseen her current pathetic state.
In front of Her Highness Corelia, Her Highness Lelouch, Her Highness Eufemia, and two candidates from Pandora's Secondary Sergeant Academy, Bismarck felt that his dignity as the First Knight was gradually losing its luster.
"Although you can say that. Actually, I wanted you to experience what it feels like to be a mother. It must be very hard! I have to take care of two children like them!”
Mariana touched Lelouch's head and stopped him from kicking Bismarck. At the same time, she teased him with a smile.
"How can a person who eats three full meals as usual when giving birth feel like a child?”
This person even used the excuse of recovering her weak muscles and bones due to pregnancy to exercise wantonly. Besides, since Lelouch and Nunnally were Princes and Princesses of Britania, they naturally had professional wet nurses to take care of them. Therefore, Mariana did not feel like she was raising children. The First Knight, who was responsible for supervising the daily lives of the princes and princesses, was quite clear about these things.
Bismarck sighed helplessly, but Na Nali, who had once stopped worrying, burst into tears again.
"Wuuu…"
"Ah! N-Your Highness Na Nali, I'm not angry at you!”
It would be easier if the little baby understood what she was saying, but unfortunately, she only saw a face that was bigger than her body and a bloody mouth that was big enough to swallow her. So...
" Waaah!!!"
"You bastard, what do you want to do to my sister?”
If it wasn't for the fact that he was weak and couldn't carry Nunnally, Lelouch would have rushed up and snatched his sister from Bismarck. Ever since he found out that Bismarck had Geass and that he was a die-hard fan of Zarulu, he had lost interest in recruiting Bismarck.
Moreover, the Knights of the First Round Table could choose a region and manage it themselves. At the same time, he was also responsible for monitoring the princes 'behavior and reporting to the emperor.
Therefore, Lelouch did not like this man. Of course, no one could tell anything from his attitude and tone. After all, he treated the others the same way. Moreover, as the king grew, this sense of distance would continue to expand.
"Ahhhh!"
Seeing that Bismarck seemed to have fallen into despair, Bertolis held back her laughter and approached Bismarck, who was hugging Nunnally.
"Um, Lord First Knight. If possible, let me…"
"Yes! Right, right, I'm counting on you, Franks Substitute.”
Bismarck no longer had the dignity of a Knight of the Round Table. He handed Nunnally to Bertolis as if he had found a life-saving straw. In his hurry, he had even forgotten Bertolis's name. He only gave her a simple code name based on her uniform.
Bertolis didn't care about Bismarck's address. She took the baby with a more delicate gesture than a man's and gently held it in front of her chest.
"Look, look, Your Highness Na Nali, gulu haha!”
She slowly swayed left and right, smiling as she approached the baby. At the same time, she made a funny face. However, even though she had deliberately made a face, it was ten thousand times better than Bismarck's smiling face. The effect was also quite obvious. Almost at the same time, Na Nali's crying stopped and she stared at Bertolis 'face with innocent eyes.
Bismarck, you've lost. You've lost to a twelve-year-old girl who's not even a knight.
Mariana looked at Bismarck and said," Bismarck shook his head with a bitter smile. He had to admit that Mariana's disdainful gaze was enough to make Princess Nunnally stop crying.
However, it was also because of this experience that Bismarck never got married until he died in battle, let alone have a child.
