"Lady Mariana has left! Lulu Xiu!"
After learning that Queen Mariana had left for the expedition, Cornelia, Nonette, and Bertolis came to the Palace of Aries with their bodies that had not yet recovered. After learning from the maids that Prince Lelouch had come to the Space Garden, they were worried and came over. They happened to see Lelouch standing on a small hill, facing the rising sun.
Under the warm sunlight, Lelouch's back appeared exceptionally noble and glorious. It was as if he was standing in a realm that humans could not reach. The three people behind him were dazzled and in awe.
"Ah, I know!"
Lelouch replied calmly as he stared at the vast eastern sky.
"Are your injuries alright?"
" Yes, it's nothing serious. After all, it's just a wooden sword. Moreover, with our current level, the distance between us and Mariana is too great!”
Behind him, Cornelia woke up from Lelouch's back and replied softly. The depression after the defeat was greatly diluted by Lelouch's greeting. Nonette and Bertolis, who were standing next to her, listened to the conversation between the siblings, and their nervous hearts relaxed a little.
It seemed that Lelouch was not disappointed in them.
After a long silence, Cornelia spoke again.
"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first! Lelouch, Lady Mariana had no choice but to leave. The empire is still too weak, and we need a strong enough figure to lead the army. The empire cannot allow failure, so…"
"I know, Royal Sister Cornelia! As a prince, I know this bit of common sense. Don't worry, I don't hate my mother or that man!”
As Lelouch spoke, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the city below.
"However, who knows how many people will die in this war!”
The death brought by war can increase my strength, but the negative curse is not light either! It was still too strenuous for this three-year-old body to bear the faith and curse of millions of people.
Eh? This feeling…
A strange feeling suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to raise his head in shock and look behind him. Fortunately, Corelia and the others had already turned around and left, so they did not notice Lelouch's unusual behavior.
"What a huge amount of faith power. Moreover, it's from a living human!”
With the mark of the King of Humans, although Lelouch could not accept the beliefs and thoughts of all humans for the time being, this did not prevent him from sensing the changes in the beliefs and thoughts of most humans around the world.
Just now, his King's Brand had clearly conveyed a message to him. In the far west, the territory on the other side of the sun, where Asia was located. More than half of the world's faith and longing were gathered together on one person.
" Damn it, I should have thought about it long ago. Even that guy, Zarulu, can obtain the recognition and power of faith of most of the citizens of the Empire. Then, the country across the sea, which has the ruling power of the entire Asia and unparalleled national strength, as well as the supreme leader of the Chinese Federation, the Son of Heaven, who has half the world's population, must have even more faith.
Lelouch immediately cleared his mind when he thought about the Empire's expedition today and the news of the death of the Emperor of the Chinese Federation.
So that was how it was. Today was the day the new emperor ascended the throne, which was why the empire seized this opportunity to expand. It had not been discovered before because it was too far away. Those beliefs and thoughts were originally on the emperor. And today, the new emperor had ascended the throne and occupied half of the world's China Federation. Those citizens had all transferred their faith to the new emperor.
Such a huge amount of faith power, if it was given to me!
Thinking of this, Lelouch's heart was burning with passion. He quickly rushed back to the hall of the Palace of Aries.
"Your Highness Lelouch!"
The wet nurses and maids who were feeding Na Nali immediately bowed.
"No need to be so polite. Turn on the television and switch to the world channel!”
Lelouch waved his hand casually, indicating for them to turn on the television. He wanted to see the report on the Chinese Federation.
"Yes, sir!"
The maids responded and turned on the huge television in front of the hall. As expected, there was no need to switch to the world public channel. The number one television station of the Empire was already broadcasting the live broadcast of the new emperor of the Chinese Federation.
When he saw the baby in swaddling clothes on the dragon throne, Lelouch was instantly embarrassed!
" The 89th Son of Heaven of the Chinese Federation, the Supreme Leader of the Chinese Federation, the Provincial Governor, and the Great Emperor of the Federal Empire, Jiang Lihua, has ascended the throne today. Because the Son of Heaven was born on January 28th this year and was not yet a year old, the government affairs would be handed over to the eunuchs and the assistant ministers. Only when Tian Zi came of age would he gradually return his authority!”
As the TV reporter reported, the embarrassment on Lelouch's face grew deeper and deeper until it covered his head.
It would be strange if he returned it!
Lelouch cursed in his heart and shook his head with a bitter smile. He also knew the history of the Chinese Federation. Since the year 1927 of the Imperial Calendar, the eunuchs of the Chinese Federation had collectively revived and controlled the government. It was only suppressed by the powerful hand of the emperor who succeeded to the throne later. Zarulu had never dared to start a war. Other than the reason for the empire itself, it was also because of the emperor's reign. The old dragon is still here. How dare the little ones do evil things at night?
Unfortunately, with his death, the successor was a little girl who was not even a year old. It was almost imaginable that in the next few years, the Chinese Federation, which was known as the most powerful country in the world, would soon sink.
The Empire was now like the rising sun, slowly rising. The Chinese Federation was no longer a concern.
No! No! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the empire, and it's the same for me! If they could take in that young emperor, the Chinese Federation might not fall. Adding on the huge population base, this Son of Heaven might be able to become a true queen before he reached the root.
One king and two queens.
There was already a king. The first queen was that mysterious female voice, and the second one would be given to this emperor!
Lelouch looked at the baby lying in the swaddling clothes on the TV and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. The lack of power of faith, the inability to resist that man's power, and the powerful backing, were completely resolved at this moment.
Jiang Lihua, become my first queen!
Lelouch took the little princess consort Na Nali from the wet nurse's arms and glanced at the head maid standing at the side.
In the past, he thought that she was just an ordinary maid. He did not expect her to be a member of the Geass Church, and she was Mariana's trusted aide. Otherwise, Mariana wouldn't have let outsiders know about their relationship. After all, only Zarulu, Mariana's accomplice, knew about the taboo relationship between mother and son.
And the head of the research lab, that guy, he knew about his body's condition but didn't report it to Mariana. Especially last night, when he heard that Mariana was crazy enough to destroy Na Nali's facial features and create an environment that would allow Na Nali to awaken her sixth sense, his spirit had fluctuated greatly. However, that person had deleted the fluctuating data. In order not to let Mariana notice his change, he even pretended to be afraid and left his seat.
He thought that he had done it very secretly, but with Lelouch's powerful spiritual power, he could clearly feel his brainwaves that were almost without any fluctuations. As a laboratory director, how could he be so nervous just because of Mariana's words?
What an interesting guy. Perhaps he could become a pawn for him to break into the cult of Geass!
Including this woman!
Lelouch didn't believe that with his abilities, he couldn't subdue a little handmaiden whose master wasn't around.
After a year of war of expansion, the Holy Bunitania Empire expanded its territory to new Zealand, Newfoundland, and the Pacific Rim Islands, all the way to the land of Africa. Only after the intervention of the European Union and the Chinese Federation did it stop its advance and start to consolidate the conquered land.
According to the pre-set policy of the Empire, these conquered lands would only exist as colonies. At the same time, for the convenience of future expansion, the Empire had numbered the conquered colonies. According to the English numbers, all the colonies and the size and influence of the original countries were numbered one by one.
At the same time, in order to eliminate the culture and customs of the colonies, the Empire called the people from the colonies as Numbers!
Mariana also returned to the Empire when the Empire stopped their conquest and went into hiding again to prepare for the next step of their strategy. This was her last expedition. From now on, she would stay in the palace and devote herself to the implementation of the plan.
In the year that Mariana was away, Lelouch had enough time to carry out his plan. Usually, Lelouch could squeeze out a portion of his time to spend with this maid. Through the influence of the King's Brand and the child's affinity, he slowly conquered her.
A month later, this maid named Anna Louis was finally seduced by Lelouch on the bed one night and completely conquered. After that, he contacted the laboratory director through her. However, when they met, the progress of the matter surprised Lelouch. The researcher who had helped Lelouch hide his true situation had long planned to swear allegiance to Lelouch when he grew up. It was just that he himself had not expected that His Highness Lelouch, who was clearly only three years old, actually had intelligence that was not inferior to an adult. He had even begun to plot now.
It was both of their own accord. Lelouch had gained another important subordinate in the Church of Geass. At the same time, he had made two pawns in the Geass Church. Although Lelouch had not yet learned the true purpose of Mariana and Emperor Zarulu's actions, he also learned about the existence of the ruins and part of the reason for the Empire's war.
He would search for the ruins and open the door to the source, where Aliya was.
Unfortunately, Mariana returned in less than a year. Lelouch's next move had to be temporarily halted. Lelouch, who was gradually growing up, was already deeply wary of this crazy woman. He actually wanted to do such a thing to Na Nali. This had already touched the biggest taboo in Lelouch's heart.
An irreparable rift had formed between him and Mariana.
