The modern airport had no lack of luxurious decorations. A tall and beautiful woman with long golden hair like a waterfall, a tall nose, and golden eyes that were shining brightly. She was wearing a simple black short skirt that wrapped her slender legs in black socks. She was wearing black high heels and carrying a travel suitcase. Every step she took seemed to be calculated before she stepped out.
No man dared to approach such a cold-faced woman because they were not qualified to know her. This was the thought that immediately appeared in their hearts when they saw her. He quickly killed the thought of going forward and losing face. However, there would always be a wastrel who would act like a wolf when he saw a beautiful woman, not to mention that this was a woman who could compare to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty!
She was Alice, and she was about to leave Tokyo Airport. Beside her were two young girls. One of them had long, beautiful golden hair and blue eyes. Her sparkling eyes were intoxicating. She was wearing a white short skirt and leather boots. Although she was only about 17 years old, she was dressed boldly and had another color.
The other girl had pretty, long, curly pink hair tied into a ponytail and pink eyes. There was no expression on his face. The sadness in his eyes made people feel pity for him. One could not help but sigh. Which man could make such a beautiful girl feel sad?! From time to time, he would open his iPhone and press the home button. On the screen was a little boy with black hair and purple eyes. He was smiling very happily, and a few girls surrounded him.
She seemed to be resisting this country because it was this country that had caused the person she loved and cherished the most to die here. The blonde girl patted her shoulder, her gentle and sweet voice making her heart tremble."Anya, it's okay." Didn't we come to District 11 to assist Princess Cornelia? We can kill more people from District 11 to avenge Lelouch and Nunnally.」
Anya shook her head…No matter how many people he killed, he would never come back. He had tried to persuade Monica, but Monica still did what she wanted and hated the people of District 11 to the bone!
Alice shook her head slightly when she saw the two girls being traumatized by Lelouch. If they knew that Lelouch was still alive, they would have to pay for everything.
[Yo! Three beautiful ladies, you're here for a vacation in District 11. Let's go play." A noble-looking man with a Mohican and a nose ring spoke frivolously.
"That's right. My brothers will definitely make you happy.」The people behind him echoed and laughed.
[Get lost.] Monica didn't even look them in the eye as she coldly spat out this word.
[This chick has quite a temper. I like hot ones the most.] Come with me!" The man pretended to reach out to grab Monica, but she grabbed his hand with one hand. With a twist, the man let out a miserable scream.
[Ah!!!!!!!!!!!]!!!!!!!!!! You bitch!" Mohican, who had been kicked to the ground by Monica, was panting heavily. [All of you, f * cking attack!] What are you still staring at?" He cursed at his companions who were stunned.
[Go!] As he spoke, the underlings behind him swarmed forward! The people in the airport frowned as they watched. No one dared to go up. Even the airport security personnel didn't dare to step forward when they saw the arrogant noble son.
[Stop immediately! Otherwise, I'll shoot!" Suddenly, a few men in black suits rushed out from the side and stood in front of Monica and the others. They raised their guns and pointed at the hooligans who had turned into pushovers when they saw the guns. These people were full of strength, and their suits were bulging with muscles. They were filled with killing intent!
" I'm sorry, Lord Knights. Please forgive me." As he spoke, he respectfully performed a knight's etiquette.
[Forget it, just treat it as entertainment. Ask them what family they are from." Monica waved her hand.
[Yes.] Then he turned around and shouted,"Hey! What family are you from?!"
" We... we are from the Spear family..." The Mohican was so frightened that he spat out the words.
"Sir, he's just an unknown noble. What are you going to do?」The man in black lowered his voice.
"Cut off their family's noble qualifications.」Monica walked out of the airport. Alice and Anya followed behind.
「Yes，yourlord!」the soldier replied loudly.
Only the incredulous onlookers at the airport and the group of stunned nobles were left.
Such a small episode did not affect their mood much. Alice, on the other hand, had not seen Lelouch for nearly two months because she had finally arrived in Japan. Although they usually had video calls, it did not eliminate much of their longing. The Alice at this moment was already a woman who had fallen into the sea of love, a woman who was immersed in love. In the past, she had never thought that she would fall in love with a person, a person who made her think about it day and night…
Because of the Japanese Liberation Front's kidnapping incident, after Millay and the others were rescued, they no longer had the mood to play and went back with Lelouch.
The empty streets were filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. He hoped that it would become a reality one day. The girl who had such a wish was filled with pure longing for the natural peace.
The girl's name was Eufemi? Li? Britain.
If there was a word to describe this young girl, it would be nothing more appropriate than delicate and pitiful. Her eyebrows were beautiful, her jade-like nose was pretty, and she was noble and slightly childish. Her slender hair danced in the night breeze, and the tips of her hair flashed in the bright moonlight. Even though she was standing on the balcony overlooking the street, there was not a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
As the third princess of the superpower Britain, she was the deputy governor of the territory that had changed its name from Japan to District 11 seven years ago.
In Britain, there were many royal families who stood on the front stage of military and politics. At the age of 16, she was supposed to be living a school life. Although it was only in name, she had become the ruler of a territory that was comparable to a country. This situation could only be seen in Britain. Of course, whether this girl was lucky or unlucky was another story.
Attracted by the quiet night, Eufemia walked out of the government office and looked at the Britan-only street called the Tokyo concession. However, what Ufemia cared about was this part. She often thought that although it was the national policy of Britain that separated the British subjects from the people called Numbers, it was their own self-centered way of thinking that made the streets in front of them restless.
However, deep in her heart, she kept thinking about the expressionless young man in the Haikou Memories Hotel. From his eyes, she could see that he was filled with disgust and hatred for this world... You were so gentle in the past. Why, why did you have such a gaze? Lulu Xiu.
Suddenly, she heard a sound behind her.
[The moonlight is so beautiful.] However, don't stand in the night breeze for too long. It would be bad if you caught a cold.」There was only one person in the hall who could speak to her in such a tone.
" Royal Sister " Ufemiya turned around and was about to call her when she suddenly swallowed her words. She straightened her posture and said respectfully. " Hello, Your Excellency Governor."
The other party also smiled at her. She walked into the balcony where Eufemia was standing. "It's private time now. There's no need to be so polite, Yuffie.」
She naturally called her by her nickname. Although this woman looked very mature, she looked very similar to Eufemia. Her name is Cornell? Li? Britannia, with the same middle name, meant that they were sisters of the same father and mother.
Ufemiya also responded to her sister's kind attitude with a smile. [Yes, Royal Sister.] Should he tell Royal Sister that Lelouch was still alive?
[Speaking of which, tonight is so quiet that it reminds me of the Li Palace in my own country.」
"This is because you like it there, Sister.」
"Mother hasn't seen you for a long time. She must be very worried about you.」As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gently picked up Eufemia's hair with her fair and soft fingers. She gently closed her eyes.
[You're not used to everything here. You must be tired, right? If you feel tired, then go back to your mother.」
[Don't]
The cold night air brushed across his face.
[This is my own choice to help you, Royal Sister.]」
[How stubborn. I'm afraid of you."
[It was Royal Sister who gave in to me.]
The two of them laughed happily. Cornelia moved her hand away, and Eufemia opened her eyes.
[Indeed, having you by my side has helped me a lot. Although I am good at dealing with enemies, I am not good at comforting the people. When the situation in this area stabilizes a little, your ability will definitely come in handy.」
[If only that was the case.] After much consideration, Yuffie suddenly said,"Royal Sister, I have something to tell you.」However, at the same time Yuffie spoke, Cornelia also said,"I have something to tell you.」
[Eh? Haha. Royal Sister, you go first."
[Yes.] Actually…Lelouch and Na Nali were still alive.」After much hesitation, she finally said it. If Yuffie knew, she would be very happy, right? After all, she used to like him so much.
[Royal Sister, you already know?] Yuffie said excitedly.
[What? Do you already know?"
[Yes. Actually, I wanted to tell you about this just now. I saw him at the conference hotel that day.」
[What?!] Cornelia's reaction was even more agitated.
"Yes, I was about to go look for him, but I missed the opportunity and he was gone.」Yuffie said with tears glistening on her face.
Corelia did not tell her about Lelouch and Nunnally being in ZERO's hands. If she knew, she would definitely go to ZERO.
[Moreover, Lelouch's eyes are so scary.」
"..." Cornelia fell silent. It seemed like ZERO was telling the truth. Lelouch's hatred for the Royal Family had reached a point where it was beyond redemption. Could it be that he will kill me?
At this moment. Outside the office that was connected to the balcony, there was a polite knock on the door.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to disturb your rest.」
[Is it Guilford?] " Yuffie, don't let anyone know about this." I'll send someone to investigate." She left her sister's side and returned to the office.
[What's wrong?]
" It's an emergency notice. I'm sorry to have taken up your time at night."
"Got it. Let's talk in my room. Is Dalton here too?」
[Yes. I've been waiting for you since just now."
[Oh, then let's go over immediately.] After pondering for a while, Cornelia returned to the balcony and smiled at Eufemia again. Her face no longer had the gentle expression from before. However, his tone was still calm. [Sorry, Yuffie. Private time is over."
" Please don't mind it, Royal Sister."
[Rest early. He hadn't been sleeping well recently, right? Staying up late is the enemy of beauty." With this half-joking advice, Cornelia left the room.
Her sister was the object of admiration for Eufemia. Powerful, elegant, and beautiful. He always gently tolerated her and protected her. However, there was a complicated look in her eyes as she watched her sister leave.
The establishment process of District 11 was not much different from other districts.
At that time, this country called Japan had a war with the Holy British Empire, and was defeated and annexed by the British Empire. Naturally, it was colonized. The British Empire had done the same thing eighteen times. It was not a bad thing for Britain to rule other countries by force. This was the country's goal and strategy. To be hated by people with different values.
Crush Imperialism!
Invader Britain, die!
Long live Japan!
This kind of cry, as well as the frequent terrorist activities and resistance movements in the 11th District, showed no signs of stopping.
No, not only did he not show any signs of restraint, but a few months ago, the former governor of the British Empire, the third prince, Clovis La Britain, was assassinated. Such a fierce anti-British struggle was not common in the British territories outside the 11th district. In other words, since the war, this land had a strong hatred for Britain, and it was difficult to govern.
However, the British side will be able to take on Cornelius? Li? As the trump card, Britain was sent to this difficult territory.
She was praised as the Goddess of War by some soldiers. She had excellent military qualities and immediately destroyed several terrorist organizations after taking office. Secretly scouting, locking onto the location of the terrorist organization, and taking the lead. Because of her unparalleled combat skills, the 11th District, which had lost its former governor, Clovis, regained some stability. There was no doubt that this was the work of Cornelia.
However, in addition to fighting against terrorist activities and anti-government movements, this iron-fisted princess was also committed to fighting in other areas.
This was the most urgent and difficult struggle for the governor.
This was the battle against internal corruption.
Cornelia did not go to the office of the Deputy Governor, but returned to her own office. She read the documents handed to her, and her face gradually became serious.
Even so, her tone was still calm. "Although I don't want to blame the deceased, it seems that my half-brother wasn't a good commander.」
The half-brother that Cornelia was referring to was the former governor, Clovis.
In fact, the current Cornelia did not have control over the British Army stationed in District 11. Excluding the personal guards that he brought along when he was appointed as the governor. The army stationed in this area was not her private army, but belonged to the former governor, Clovis. In addition, Britain gave the governors of the territories corresponding ruling power, and the armies equipped by the territories had great independence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was tainted with the governor's color.
"Are you dissatisfied with the command of the generals who govern the military districts?」
The soldier who spoke loudly was called Dalton. Not only was his voice loud and clear, but his muscular body and dignified expression, as well as the scars left on his face from fighting hard, all showed that this robust man was a pure warrior. However, he was not a warmonger who would resort to violence for everything. He was a person worthy of being trusted by Cornelia.
Hearing the words of the older attendant, Cornelia shook her head. Rather than saying that he was dissatisfied with the general, it was more like a matter of authority. He was given too much power.
The occupation of the 11th district was carried out by the five military districts. The east was Area A, the middle was Area B, the west was Area C, Hokkaido was Area D, and the northeast was Area E. Each of the five districts was equipped with an army to maintain law and order in each area.
It was still fine if that was the case. When Cornelia had just taken office, she saw that the various military districts had their own actions and policies. It was very annoying. And all of this was because the generals who were the mayors of the various military districts had too much authority. Most importantly, the independence of the military districts was too strong. It was not a big deal to hand over the command of the regular army to the general in times of emergency, but it was very abnormal to hand over all the personnel promotions within the army. The so-called army, as long as the central power is more concentrated, it will be stronger. This was the basic view of Cornelia. However, the current situation of the 11th district's ruling army was the opposite of this basic principle.
"That's why such a ridiculous thing happened.」After saying this, Cornelia threw the document in her hand on the table.
Ever since she decided to take up her post in the 11th district, Cornelia had asked her subordinates to secretly investigate and collect reports on improper personnel within the ruling army. Although the cases of nepotism and favoritism were of different types, what made Cornelia the most angry was the sheer number. To be honest, with so many cases, it would be annoying even if the investigation committee investigated them one by one.
Although he had considered it before, he did not expect it to be so many. Since useless people could use money and family connections to improve their status, it was not difficult to understand why terrorists had an opportunity to take advantage of them.
[What do you think? Although it was necessary to punish the people responsible for the personnel, the chaos caused by the major adjustment of the personnel that had already been confirmed was foreseeable.」
"However, if we don't do this, the Governor's Office will lose all its prestige. Moreover, an incompetent officer will lower the morale of a hundred soldiers.」
"What do you think of using actual performance as a reference for judgment?」
It was not Dalton who made the proposal, but another man, Guilford, who had just greeted Cornelia. He was very young and looked about the same age as Cornelia. She had a mid-parted hairstyle and a pair of scholarly eyes. This description made him sound like a very talented civil servant, but he was actually a soldier. However, his stance was slightly different from Dalton's.
He was a knight of Cornelia.
The so-called knighthood was the most unique system in Britain. Its name had two meanings.
Firstly, this was not only for the British Army, but also for the pilots of the humanoid combat armor Knightmareframe, which was gradually becoming the main force of the armies of various countries.
Second, it was to confer the title of loyalty to the British royal family and to serve the royal family for life.
So the meaning of this word was the latter. However, Britain was the first country to put the Knightmare-frame into actual combat. At that time, everyone who was awarded the title of knight was obliged to do the driving training of the Knightmare-frame, so the two were gradually used together. In the official constitution, there was no record of the driver of the Knightmareframe. The real knight referred to people like Gilbert. He was the pilot of Knightmar and the person who swore his lifelong loyalty to Cornelia. He would not change his stance because of the occasion.
" What's wrong?" asked Cornelia, puzzled by what Gilbert had said. [You mean actual performance?]
[Yes.] Standing by the wall, Gilbert lowered his head. "Although the status was obtained through improper promotion, not everyone who obtained the status had abilities that did not match the status. No matter what had happened before, there must have been someone who had worked hard in his current position. Therefore, what do you think about keeping those who have the ability and achievements and only demoting those who are not capable?」
" Hmm..." Cornelia muttered.
" Of course, if we do this, it will be unfair from a collective perspective. Therefore, he had to investigate the past achievements of the people who stayed behind. Make their merits and demerits offset each other."
"The meaning is very profound, but even so, it will leave a problem of principle. Besides, isn't this equivalent to us tacitly agreeing to the favoritism that should be punished?」
"Therefore, the demotion itself is targeted at all targets. After that, based on their achievements, how about issuing a new appointment and dismissal letter to those who stayed in the name of the Governor's Office? Although it is only a change in form, it makes sense. No matter what, I believe that the ruling army must ensure that there are outstanding talents. Moreover, if the initial investigation was detailed, the Governor's Office's authority could be demonstrated through the execution of the punishment.」
"After that, even if we take back all kinds of authority, no matter who it is, they can only obey orders, right?」
[As you wish.]
Such an opinion was beyond the scope of a soldier's identity, and the method was equivalent to fraud, but Corelia did not show any displeasure. Perhaps it was because she had been in contact with the army for a long time, but she had a strong military aura. On the other hand, she was both the second princess of Britain and the governor of the 11th district. As a ruler, he couldn't just be honest and upright. He also had the obligation to do things related to the public interest. Even if he had to deceive the world, he had to do it without hesitation. This was something that she knew very well.
Dalton, who had remained silent, spoke again.
"I also agree with this proposal. In any case, to eliminate the restless anti-government forces in various places, strengthening the ruling army is the top priority. For this reason, it was necessary to concentrate all kinds of authority on the princess.」
"There's no need to call me princess. I'm currently performing official duties as the governor.」Cornelia, who was bitterly blaming Dalton, immediately fell into deep thought again.
In fact, she knew exactly what her two subordinates were trying to say. Unfortunately, both of them, as well as Cornelia herself, had not been in District 11 for long. Moreover, the opportunity to take up the post was the inauspicious assassination of the former governor. Although she had defeated several terrorist organizations in a flash, she did not think that the situation in District 11 would be stable.
The important thing was to dye District 11 with the colors of Cornelia. For this, both Dalton and Guilford had said that they would carry out military reform. By the way, Cornelia was in full agreement with this idea. It was still too early for the civil officials to handle politics in this area. Besides, if it wasn't for this situation, why would he be sent here as the governor? What he was pursuing now was to cultivate his strength. It was more important than anything else to display the power to make the enemy lose their will to resist.
Clovis had been slacking off because he was powerless to do anything about it.
She suddenly thought of her half-brother, who had died not long ago.
In fact, the seemingly cold and dignified Cornelia L. Britannia was unexpectedly attached to the relationship between flesh and blood. Although he was especially protective of his mother, he also had a corresponding love for his half-brothers. In Britain, there were countless royal families who had fallen out with each other over the struggle for the throne, and she was one of the few.
In her opinion, although the deceased Clovis was incompetent as a politician and a soldier, he was also one of the younger brothers who needed to be loved. Therefore, she now believed that the peace of District 11 was the best way to mourn for her brother who was brutally murdered.
[No.]
Thinking back carefully, Clovis was not the only family member who had died here. And now, his beloved younger brother and sister were in the hands of ZERO. No matter what, the battle in the future would be very difficult. If he killed Lelouch and Na Nali, he would probably never forgive himself. Back then, he did not have enough power to protect them. Now, he clearly had the power, but it was restrained!
[Governor?]
Hearing Dalton's voice, Cornelia came back to her senses. It seemed that she had fallen into deep thought about private matters during an important conversation.
[Sorry, you're right. As for this matter, let's do as Gilford says. Is that okay, Dalton?」
[It seems that you are tired. It's my fault for disturbing you at this time. Please forgive me."
"No, don't mind it. Speaking of which, is that all that happened tonight?」
[Yes, and three of the twelve Knights of the Round Table have arrived at District 11.]」
[These three were sent by Father to test the results.」Cornelia sighed. Two of them were Lelouch's knights. It was because of Lelouch's promise that he would come back to pick them up as long as he became a knight.
"However, with the arrival of these three lords, can't we ask them to annihilate those terrorists?」A person like Dalton had a look of admiration on his face.
"Only the Emperor can order the 12 Knights of the Round Table. Without the Emperor's order, the three of them will not attack.」said Cornelia in distress. After all, the three of them were among the best Knight pilots in the world, but they were still the Emperor's personal guards.
" Yes," Gilbert answered, but he hesitated. Although he was standing at attention, his bespectacled, intellectual face showed hesitation.
Cornelia frowned in surprise. [What's wrong? "Guilford, don't worry. If there's anything else, just say it.」
[Yes, please allow me to report.] Gilbert said in a serious tone.
"It's nothing else. It was about ZERO, the terrorist suspected of killing His Highness Clovis.」
In an instant, Cornelia's eyes became as sharp as an eagle that had found its prey.
In Suttanfield's house, Kallen was lying on the bed, exhausted, listening to the news from her Apple laptop. " The reconstruction of the Convention Center Hotel in Haikou has finally begun. It had been more than two weeks since ZERO announced the Black Knights. In the end, no concrete evidence was found, and the escape route was hidden. Release the hostages and guide the vehicles to the coast…"
Suddenly, something collapsed outside. Kallen put on her nightgown and walked out of the room. She saw a maid kneeling on the ground, looking very clumsy as she did not dare to pick up the falling chandelier. This maid was indeed somewhat similar to Kallen…
[Eh? Kallen..."The maid changed her tone again." Miss, I'm sorry to have woken you up."」
[Here it comes again…]
[I'm sorry, the ladder fell down this time...]
[Clean it up quickly. Soon, it was time to go to school.」
"Miss, you've been going to school a lot recently. Did you make a friend?」The maid who was kneeling on the ground said in a motherly tone.
[This has nothing to do with you, right?!] Kallen walked into the room impatiently and slammed the door shut. Leaning against the door, she grabbed the collar of her sleeping robe tightly. Her trembling voice sounded like she was about to cry." Hurry up and disappear…"
Two middle-aged businessmen in suits watched as the fork lift moved boxes of items into the warehouse.
[Although it's a benefit, it's a pity to give it to the people of District 11.]」
[That's why it flowed to you.] It was fine. It was better to reduce the number of people in District 11.」
[The remuneration will be transferred to your wife's account.]」
"Her Highness is a soldier. She won't be familiar with such things.」
Suddenly, a series of automatic rifle shots with silencers rang out." Quick! Turn on the lights!" One of the middle-aged men shouted in fear.
When the lights were turned on, all they saw were corpses covered in blood. [You, you, you are ZERO!」The two merchants widened their eyes in fear as they looked at the masked man holding two silver M1911A1s.」The cold voice was like a seductive voice from hell.
Bang! Bang! Only two gunshots could be heard.
[Elora: A small village northeast of Bombay, India) launched an attack on the main front line of the European Union Alliance. From our point of view, we can't always be tied down by this District 11. He had to clean up the internal affairs and upgrade that area to a safe zone. For this reason, defeating the terrorist organization was also an important mission. However, the problem of Refrain (a hallucinogen similar to drugs), which was spreading in District 11, was also serious. Because of this, productivity also decreased. They had to cut off the main transportation route of the Chinese Federation. Do you understand?" Cornelia said solemnly to Yuphilia, who was standing beside her.
[Yes, please be careful.]
"You too, don't go out of the concession again.」
[Sister, about the Black Knights…]
" Let them be free for a while. I owe them a favor for saving you. But when I come back, I'll clean up this area before handing it over to you. So don't think about dangerous things. Alright? Yuffie." Cornelia gently tucked Yuffie's hair behind her ear.
It was because of that man, the son of that damned emperor of Britania. Speaking of which, you're the same…but now, you're still…
Did ZERO mean that she would continue? Why did Lelouch appear in the hotel at that time? Vermilion Bird, what would you think if you were me? Regarding ZERO's actions, and I will…
" Royal Sister, about Lelouch..." Yuffie said to Cornelia in a voice that only the two of them could hear. When the two Governors were talking, the subordinates naturally did not dare to get too close, so they did not have to worry about being overheard.
"There's no news from the people I sent out. Don't worry, Lelouch and Na Nali will be fine. I'll bring them back unscathed.」Speaking of Lelouch and Na Nali, her younger brother and sister were still in the hands of that man. It was too difficult!
"Ah..." Kallen yawned as she leaned against the wall outside the Student Union office."It's so hard, living a double life."」
[Hurry up, Vermillion Bird, over there!」Mi Lei's voice came from inside the door.
"Idiot! Stop! Vermilion Bird! Stop! Stop!" Lelouch's terrible voice came from the office. Kallen hurriedly went in to take a look and stood there in a daze.
"I'm sorry, Lelouch. Because it was the president's order." The Vermilion Bird said apologetically, but there wasn't the slightest hint of apology in it...
[You're clearly smiling!] Hey!"
[Don't move.] Charley turned Lelouch's face away.
[Draw here, draw here.]」Long Er happily drew on Lelouch's face with a paintbrush. Serves him right! Why did you have to be so fierce to me last time!
"Good morning, meow ~" Millay waved at Kallen, wearing a pair of large cat claw gloves.
" Good morning..." What is this?" Kallen looked at the members of the Student Union who were wearing cat-like clothes. Even the coldest Snowy was not spared.
[Ah, didn't I tell you? Arthur's welcome party." Livare said.
[It's really peaceful…]
"Enjoy yourself during the crisis.」
" We've also prepared Kallen's portion. Look, as an apology for what I said to you last time. Which one do you want?" Charley pointed at the various cat outfits hanging on the clothes rack.
[Eh? Me too?" Kallen said.
[What do you think? Miss TV celebrity?" Levar said to Charley.
"Ah, the topic has changed?!」Long Er said.
[Don't joke about this. After that, we had a hard time. We were surrounded by people all the time and forced to ask questions. Even in the bathhouse." Xia Li said worriedly.
"We can't even leave school this week. There are groups of reporters outside.」Long Er said, her scalp tingling.
[Even if that's the case, why are we banned from going out too!」Lelouch said.
[This is called friendship. We don't ask to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same year. We only wish to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year.」
[No, it should be Romance of the Three Kingdoms.] This is the case in the Chinese Federation." Long Er said.
[Is this a proposal?]
[Even if you want to die, you have to drag others down with you.]
"You're really too much, aren't you, Rosefinch?」Levar looked at the Vermilion Bird and was stunned."That's great. We can be together again." It's really great." The Vermilion Bird wiped her tears.
"What's wrong? You should be smiling at this time.」Livare grabbed the Vermilion Bird's neck and fell to the ground with him.
[Hehehe...]
[But this is the advantage of the Vermilion Bird.」said Xia Li.
"I hope he can consider the atmosphere around him occasionally.」
" I'm sorry..." the Vermilion Bird said.
[Can't you tell that this is a joke?」Levar pinched the Vermilion Bird's face.
Yes, Lelouch and I saved everyone. Kallen thought as she looked at everyone laughing. After the hotel hijacking incident, the world's attention was focused on the Black Knights. The Black Knights were like Lelouch's declaration, friends of the weak. They were involved in terrorist acts, unreasonable armies, corrupt politicians, profit-oriented enterprises, criminal organizations, and other evils that could not be punished by the law. We instantly became heroes. We had more helpers, and we received another knighthood. But it wasn't all good, because…the leader's Lelouch had killed Clovis, and many of our companions wanted to know his true colors. However, if they forced him, Lelouch would say that his identity as ZERO would disappear. We've already reached the point where we can't do anything without him. 'I can't leave him anymore. No matter when, I will think of him. No matter where, I will want to be with him…'
In the Japanese Liberation Front base, several people wearing old Japanese dark military uniforms knelt on tatami mats. The room was huge and a little dark.
"Why would the people help the person who saved Eufemia?」
"The Capital also said that they wanted to give the Red Lotus Second Style to the Black Knights.」
" To that kind of half-baked person?" A rather young man snorted coldly, full of disdain. The Black Knights 'reputation had far surpassed that of the Japanese Liberation Front.
"They are not a resistance organization. The evidence is that ZERO killed Lieutenant Colonel Cao Bi.」the woman with short black hair said.
" Did the lieutenant colonel commit suicide?"
" There are also rumors that they didn't stop it. " Lieutenant Colonel Fujido, no matter what, if this goes on…" The oldest old man looked at Fujido, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed.
[Miss Kallen, Miss Kallen.]
Kallen ran her fingers through her long red hair and walked down the stairs. When she saw the person who came, she was shocked.」
[I have something to give you.] Millay, who was wearing Ashford Academy's uniform, held her bag with both hands. Her ladylike temperament was obvious.
[May I ask where you are taking the guests? " The living room is still…" The maid who looked quite similar to Kallen asked in fear.
[Go to my room.]
[Yes, sir.]
"Ah la, he said he was your friend. I thought he was a man. He came back early in the morning and didn't go to school. It seemed like he was going in and out of the slums.」A woman with blonde hair and blue eyes who had her hair tied up in a high bun said,"You did whatever you wanted while your father was in this country. Blood relations are an indisputable fact."」She looked at the maid standing there with disdain. The maid looked away and took a few steps back, not daring to look at the woman.
[You're the one who's enjoying the freedom when Daddy isn't around!]」Kallen said sternly.
The sound of porcelain shattering entered everyone's ears. Kallen looked back and saw the maid squatting down, trembling."What should we do? What should we do?"」
[What the hell are you doing!] The noble lady emphasized.
"I'm sorry, Madam. " I'm sorry, Madam," the maid apologized nervously and picked up the pieces.
"It's really useless. You can only rely on a woman's body.」The woman was actually jealous of the maid's appearance.
In Kallen's room, Millay sighed,"What a complicated family."」
[What do you want to give me?] Kallen said lightly, slightly displeased.
[Yes, Grandpa asked me to.」
[Headmaster?]
"It's not convenient to give you the certificate of results since middle school.」
[Do you know? The fact that I'm a Britanian-District 11 mixed-blood.」Kallen looked at Millay, who didn't know how to explain, and continued,"That was my stepmother. The real mother was the slow-witted maid who knocked over the vase.」
"Is father the head of Suttanfield?」
"Mother is an idiot. In the end, she became a servant who was ordered around and did not have the ability to do any work. No matter how much she was looked down on, she could only smile foolishly. Because Britania invaded Japan, my mother, who was originally Japanese, was criticized by other people in the family who had always wanted to take my father's place. My father was forced to marry my stepmother. Her mother had lowered her status for her father. She didn't have to stay in this house to face these people.」
" Do you hate your mother?" Millay sat upright.
[I just find it troublesome.] Kallen picked up the teapot and refilled Millay's teacup with black tea.
[Hey, what a heavy topic.] The main wife, the second branch, and the daughter were actually living together.」
"That's not entirely the case. It's not inconvenient to eat, dress, and live. It's not something that I can't bear.」
"Is that so? But ah, even if you can endure every little thing, if you accumulate all of them, you will eventually collapse one day.」Millay looked out of the window, then suddenly turned back and said in a relaxed tone,"Don't worry. Although I really want to know other people's secrets, I'm not interested in telling them."」
In the beautiful park, people came and went. Couples, couples with children…
「Refrain?」Mi Lei slapped the incoming phone.
"It's a drug. Its characteristic is that it makes people feel like they've returned to the past.」
[It should sell well. Especially for the Japanese."
"Everyone will miss the Japan before Britania's occupation. It was a drug that targeted the Japanese. He couldn't just leave it be. After the supplies of the scoundrel arrived, they immediately took action.」
"I heard that the supplies have increased, and there are many people who want to become companions. The Black Knights are really popular. If it weren't for ZERO, we wouldn't have been able to do anything.」
"Because we are partners of justice. I'll call you when the ammo arrives.」Shan wanted to hang up.
After Kallen hung up the phone, a series of beatings and insults entered her ears." Say something! You 11th District citizen!"
[Hurry up and apologize! Apologize!" A Britanians in strange clothes stepped on the shop assistant on the ground and said.
[Aren't the people from District 11 very good at bowing their heads?」
" People from District 11…" Kallen was so angry that she wanted to walk over, but she was pulled back by someone.
[Lulu Xiu.] Kallen looked at him in surprise.
[There are five opponents. You can't possibly win.」
[Then can we just leave it be?!] Kallen glared at Lelouch.
"Take a look for yourself. The person from District 11 who was beaten up. Help him and try. That person from District 11 won't be able to do business from tomorrow onwards. He had chosen to become a slave in Britania, and that was what working in the concession meant.」Lelouch said nonchalantly.
The surrounding people only frowned as they watched. No one was willing to get involved in this muddy water.
[Even if that's the case…]
[What did you say just now? Are the people of District 11 very pitiful?」
[No way, you want to be their companion? Right?" These Britanians hooligans aggressively walked up to Lelouch and Kallen.
"..." Lelouch didn't say anything. He just looked at them coldly.
[Hey, say something. Kid!"
[Don't be too arrogant!] One of the hooligans threw a punch at Lelouch's face, but Lelouch grabbed it with one hand, and the strength in his hand increased. [Ah…Let go, let go! You bastard! It's going to break!" The hooligan said in pain. Lelouch let go of his hand.
[You bastard!] The hooligan was so embarrassed by Lelouch's actions in front of so many people that he flew into a rage out of humiliation and took out a folding knife from his pocket to stab Lelouch. However, Lelouch moved his waist backward to dodge. That person swung his knife backhandedly, but Lelouch happened to grab his wrist.
"It seems that you don't need your hands anymore.」He exerted force, and with a crack, his entire arm was twisted into a fried dough twist by the student!
[Ah!!!!!!!!!!!]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」The hooligan was tortured by the strong sense of empathy and fainted. Lelouch looked at the other hooligans. Those hooligans all ran away in fear when Lelouch looked at them. Only the hooligan who had fainted from the pain was left. Looking at his hand, he was probably crippled for life.
The surrounding people looked at Lelouch as if he was a monster. After all, they had never seen someone so strong that he could injure someone's entire hand like that.
"Britania is full of trash.」Lelouch said.
Kallen ran to the side of the person who was beaten up and asked worriedly,"Are you okay?」
The people from the 11th district struggled to get up. When they saw Kallen's school uniform, they thought,"A Britani student?" He immediately said respectfully,"Welcome." Would you like a California hot dog?」When he saw Lelouch walking towards him, he asked respectfully,"Boyfriend? If possible, please. There's also ice cream."
Kallen looked at this person's behavior in surprise. How much had the people of District 11 fallen to?
"District 11 is much better than when we were still in Japan. Thanks to the colonies in Britania, both the military and the economy had settled down greatly, and they could even obtain civil rights. As long as he went to the government to go through the procedures, wouldn't he be able to become an honorary Britanian? The rest was a matter of self-esteem. However, he could understand why they valued this.」
[And then?]
[Hm?]
"You know this, Lelouch? What was Lamperucci thinking? What did he want to do? Not as ZERO."
[I don't know.]
"Your brain is very good, but you always say it verbally. Charlie always complains and regrets that Lulu doesn't work hard. It's a waste of your brain.」
" That's why I'm only doing it as ZERO, not as myself. The people from District 11 knew very well that they could live well if they bowed to the Britanians. They are willing to fall…I didn't choose to play ZERO. If I had to explain these people one by one, wouldn't it be tiring? ZERO is only guiding, not persuading…"
Bang! Kallen couldn't take it anymore and slapped Lelouch hard. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the knuckles of her other hand were white from clenching her fist.
"I always thought that you could understand my thoughts. So this is what your righteous partner looks like. Did you dress up as ZERO just to look cool? Lelouch, you disappoint me!」Kallen shook her head and left, ignoring the five fingerprints on her face.
In a quiet bar, Jeremy and Villetta were sitting at the bar counter. Because of ZERO's 'orange', Jeremy looked very haggard. His dark eyes were obvious that he hadn't slept well, and his chin was full of stubble. He stared at the whiskey in the glass without moving.
[The Orange incident…]
" Uh…" Jeremy suddenly clenched his fists.
[I'm sorry. When the Pinnacle Vermilion Bird was robbed, you said you had no memory. Is that true?]」said Villetta after much consideration.
[I didn't expect you to believe me.」
"No, actually, during the Shinjuku incident, I also experienced partial memory loss.」
[What?] Jeremy looked at Villetta in surprise.
"When I regained consciousness, Sutherland had already been taken away. Before I lost my memory, I met a young man in a school uniform.」
" That means that student…" Remembering that there was evidence, Jeremy became slightly excited.
[I can't remember his face.] said Villetta apologetically. "But my mission is worth investigating.」
As night fell, in the container area of a container factory at the dock.
A few men in the Black Knights 'uniform were hiding in the dark. Yucheng complained,"What is ZERO thinking? Although he wanted to defeat Britania, wasn't he helping the police?」
[But it doesn't feel bad to be thanked.」
[That's right. On the Internet, the Black Knights were already heroes.」
[Is this really enough for us?」Thinking of what Lelouch had said during the day, Kallen felt her heart ache. He had always thought that Lelouch's goal was the same as his, but what was the result? He had shattered his heart, which was already riddled with holes.
[It's ZERO's signal!] One of them said immediately when he saw the green flashing signal light in front of him.
[He really went in!]
"Every time. What kind of method did he use? With that kind of skill, was he even human?!」Yu Cheng said in disbelief.
In the warehouse, dozens of workers were moving boxes."Is the Nagoya part done?"」
"Don't worry, it's very safe here.」
Suddenly, the shutter door was riddled with holes and kicked open by a powerful force.
[The Black Knights join in!]
[Intruders!] The dozen or so people quickly picked up their AK-47s and started sweeping at the door. Suddenly, a red Mech rushed in.
「knightmare! How could it be!"
[Stop joking!]
"Knighthood is indeed powerful. As long as there is one, there will be an overwhelming advantage.」Kallen broke through an iron door. The scene inside shocked her and she froze on the spot.
[Japan! Japan!"
"Yes, we're getting married next month.」A woman said blissfully, but there was only darkness around her. She was talking to herself.
[I got promoted! This time, we're going to Paris!"
[Shall we go to the fireworks show next week?!」
"Leave it to me. Japan's technology is the best in the world!」
[It's confirmed! About studying abroad! I'm really good!" It was the person from District 11 who was beaten up during the day!
「Refrain。」"If all of them accumulate, one day, they will collapse." Kallen remembered what Millay had said. [Yes, so I…]
[Hey, hey, it's very dangerous to run.」
[Mom?!] Kallen looked at the woman walking past in front of her blankly. Suddenly, the woman tripped. Kallen, who was sitting in the movie, quickly supported her with her hands. [I say, straight man, how can you not take good care of Kallen?!」
"How weak are you, woman? You rely on Britania, you rely on men, and this time it's drugs! Her brother was no longer around. If she continued to do this, ah!!!!!!!」Suddenly, Knight's left hand was shot by a machine gun."Knight Police?!」
[Isn't that the police?!]」
[Are they colluding? Jade City!" Shan wanted to shout at Yu Cheng.
"I don't know! When I investigated, it was indeed the case."
" Damn it." Lelouch looked at the Mech helplessly.
Kallen drove the Knight Mare in the tall container, hiding while shooting at the Knight Police.
[What a hindrance!] Kallen wanted to throw her mother away, but she hesitated. [Why? I don't need it! I obviously don't need it!" Knight Mare's hind legs were shot and exploded. He fell to the ground and slid forward.
The woman on the ground was still muttering," Kallen, straight..."
Lelouch led his men and rushed to the scene." If you're going against Knight..."
" Run... quickly. Run! You idiot!"
"I'm here. I've always been by your side.」The woman stood up and raised her hands in a hugging gesture."Kallen, I'm by your side!"」
[Is that why you've been staying in that house? You're so stupid just for this kind of thing!"
Knightpolice, who was behind her, pulled out a dagger from his waist and wanted to cut Kallen's knifemare. Kallen kicked back and blocked the dagger with only one hand. "I'm the one who's right! I'm the idiot!" The rope in front of Knight's chest shot towards the other side of the container, hooked it, and then quickly retracted. Knight Police, which was pressed against Knight Mare, was quickly taken away. It crashed into the container, splattering sparks. The iron sheet on the container shaved off the cockpit of Knight Police, and endless scarlet blood flowed out from it.
[Kallen!!!!!!] Fan wanted them to run over nervously.
Kallen, who was in the cockpit, propped herself up and looked at her mother, who was sitting on the ground. "That's great, Kallen. You can become a Britanean. That way, he wouldn't be bullied. He could also make phone calls and travel freely.」
[Is she Kallen's…mother?] Lelouch looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground. He walked to her side and picked her up. Kallen watched as Lelouch picked up her mother. She looked at Lelouch with tears of gratitude.
However, on the ceiling steel plate, C.C. was looking down at Lelouch.
" Fake tears will hurt others, fake smiles will hurt themselves."
In the hospital, Kallen sat beside the bed and looked at her haggard mother. Lelouch stood beside her.
"It's the aftereffects of drugs. I'm basically unable to talk and need time to recover.」
"Wait for me. I'll definitely change for you before Mom recovers. "A world where Mom and I can live normally, so, so..." Kallen choked on the second half of her sentence, and tears flowed down her face. Suddenly, her mother placed her hand on hers."Good luck."」
Kallen trembled as she looked at her palm."Come on, Kallen, my daughter."」
She cried and nodded."Yes, I will do my best."」His other hand held his mother's slightly rough hand."I'll do my best." Hehehe…"
Lelouch placed his hand on Kallen's shoulder and gently pressed it, giving her a gentle smile.
"Don't give up. I'm here. I'll always be by your side to protect you.」
Kallen looked at Lelouch with blurred vision. Kallen had fantasized countless times that Lelouch would say this to her. Now, her dream had come true.
