Although the situation was urgent, Mariana had just given birth and was still in the so-called " confinement period ". Therefore, the Empire took a defensive stance in the war in South America for the first time. At the same time, they secretly mobilized troops and war resources, waiting for the arrival of the shining Mariana.
A month passed quickly. During this period, Cornelia visited the Palace of Aries every day to visit Princess Mariana and her half-brother Lelouch, regardless of rain or shine. Of course, there was another reason for her visit to the Palace of Aries besides her idol, Queen Mariana. It was Lelouch's existence.
As the culprit who had embarrassed herself in front of everyone for the first time, Corelia's love for Lelouch far exceeded that of her mother, Queen Mariana. If it wasn't for the fact that she still needed to attend the primary course of the officer school, Mariana was sure that this little guy would live in the Aries Palace and stick to Lelouch all the time.
As for why the noble princess, Cornelia, was also studying in the officer school? Speaking of which, this had a lot to do with her own hopes. In ancient times, the royal education in Britania was accompanied by full-time tutors and religious guidance 24 hours a day. However, this traditional method had progressed with the times. In the current era where personal choice and freedom were more valued, the royal family had a certain degree of freedom of choice when they reached a certain age.
Back then, Mariana had once studied at the Sergeant Academy. She had suppressed all the boys and set a record that was said to be impossible to surpass. She was known as the undefeated Mariana. After graduating from the officer academy, Mariana stepped onto the battlefield. With her outstanding military achievements, she was promoted from an officer to a knight of the round table and received the title of knight marquis. In the eyes of the people, this was something that was almost impossible.
The shining Mariana was a legendary existence among the commoners and nobles.
Children always worshipped heroes, especially in the Holy Bunitania Empire where chivalry prevailed and the imperial system was preserved. Coupled with the close interaction with Mariana, Cornelia's admiration for Mariana turned into the purest longing. It was not surprising that she would choose to embark on the same path as her idol.
However, Cornelia's biological mother was born into a noble family with a long history. She had originally planned for her daughter to only grow flowers and grass in the palace. In order to change her mind, he even mobilized the entire clan to persuade her, which became a famous story in the palace.
"Lady Mariana, where do you plan to hold the one-month-old banquet to celebrate Little Lelouch?”
Cornelia asked Mariana as she hugged the cute Lelouch and carefully kissed his milk.
Lelouch, who had grown teeth, could not chew hard food, so he could only eat these things. However, he did not hate them because these foods were specially made. They were not only nutritious but also delicious.
After a month, Lelouch's brain finally calmed down. This was because Aliya had been sealed in C-World by Gaia. Countless wandering human consciousnesses and beliefs from all over the world rushed towards him. They were then absorbed by the King's Brand in his spiritual world and turned into the purest spiritual power.
Originally, the King's Brand could still slowly strengthen his body, but with Gaia's curse on him, the power that overflowed from his spiritual world would immediately be wiped out by Gaia's curse.
Therefore, Lelouch could only use all his power to strengthen his soul and spirit to resist the corrosion of Gaia's curse.
In a month, Lelouch had been smoked by a physical hypnotic gas, so although his growth rate was fast, his physique was very weak. Although he was not sick, his voice and strength were much smaller than babies of the same age.
This was also one of the reasons why she had been feeding Lelouch for the past month. The other reason was simply to get along with his younger brother.
"In the Empire Hotel, His Majesty doesn't have the time. As a commoner, I don't have many friends from the nobles and the royal family. Lelouch's one-month-old banquet could only be arranged by the Ashford Family!”
Mariana looked at Corelia and Lelouch in her arms with a gentle smile.
Although she was a commoner, it wasn't that she didn't have the support of the nobles. It was just that she was slightly inferior to those from the big families.
Hearing Mariana's answer, Cornelia wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she could only sigh deeply.
Even the royal family had many things that they could not control.
Probably sensing her sister's disappointment, Lelouch, who had finished his milk product, suddenly reached out and hugged her. Immediately, her mood changed and she smiled happily.
"Hehe, have you finished eating? Amazing, Lelouch!"
"Lelouch really likes you, Cornelia. Oh right, why don't you let Lelouch marry you when he grows up?”
"Is it really possible?"
Hearing Mariana's sudden suggestion, Cornelia said in surprise. Then, she seemed to remember the age gap between her and Lelouch and lowered her head hesitantly.
"No, I'm 11 years older than Lelouch. When he grows up, I'll be old!”
"How can that be? " You're so pretty, Corelia. Even if you were older, Lelouch would still like you. Wasn't there a saying in China that a third-year female student should carry a gold brick?”
Mariana was only joking, but she did not expect that Cornelia would take her words seriously. Mariana found it funny when she saw that Cornelia, who had been longing for her, was actually worried about Lelouch. She continued to tease her.
"Is that so? If only that were the case!"
Cornelia was still not very confident, and there was a trace of bitterness on her face.
If only she returned to her mother's womb now and was born a year later. In that case, she would be a younger sister than Lelouch by a year.
At this moment, she would never have thought that a year later, her fantasy would become reality. Her mother had indeed given birth to a younger sister.
"Lelouch, do you like Sister Corelia and want her to be your bride?”
Seeing that she was still depressed, Mariana gently teased Lelouch, but her eyes were fixed on her.
The two of them didn't know that Lelouch had heard their conversation clearly. If it wasn't for the fact that his body needed to constantly resist the curse from Gaia, he would have been able to speak a few days ago.
Furthermore, his immense mental strength, powerful soul, and the power of the Human King's brand allowed Lelouch, who was only a month old, to possess his own independent consciousness. After taking good care of her for a month, he fell in love with this handsome and gentle sister.
Therefore, after hearing his mother's joking words, Lelouch endured the pain brought by the curse, opened his small hands, held Cornelia's face, and said with difficulty,"
"Bride!"
Time suddenly stopped at this moment!
"Your Highness the little prince…actually spoke!”
The frozen space began to flow again as the maid exclaimed in disbelief.
Mariana and Cornelia stared at Little Lelouch's beautiful violet eyes and shouted excitedly.
"Lelouch, say it again (x2)"
"Hehe! Bride…giggle…bride!!”
It wasn't an illusion. Lelouch really spoke. However, he didn't seem to understand what the word meant because he was looking at his mother and repeating the word 'bride.'
However, from his actions just now, even if he did not understand the meaning of the word, it was obvious that he had a good impression of Cornelia.
A one-month-old baby was actually so prepared to say a single word. Lelouch's talent was self-evident.
This talent made Mariana and Cornelia look forward to his future.
However, the two of them had different expectations. What she thought was that her younger brother, Lelouch, was so smart that he would definitely become a great prince in the future. He might even be able to inherit the throne of the Empire. If that was the case, she would have to work even harder. It was no longer purely because she longed for Princess Mariana, but to become someone who was worthy of Lelouch and help him become the emperor.
Even his father, didn't he also suppress the rebellion with the help of the First Knight Bismarck and Lady Mariana, stabilize his throne, and expand his territory!
Her! Corelia could also become a sharp sword in Lelouch's hands, protecting his life, crusading against his enemies, and fighting for him.
Clenching her fists, she stared into Lelouch's deep violet eyes and made up her mind.
However, Lelouch's mother, Mariana, had a completely different thought. It could even be said that it was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations.
Very good, it seems that Lelouch's talent far exceeds my imagination. Perhaps, the second daughter did not need the emperor at all. Lelouch's potential far surpassed that old fellow, Zarulu. If he could use Lelouch's genes... then perhaps he could create a child whose aptitude was not inferior to Lelouch's.
Then, by combining their genes, the most powerful CODE carrier in history would be born!
