Cecil used his blue eyes to stare at the foam plastic cup in front of him, which was filled with noodles.
[You're eating this again…]
He heard the words he didn't want to hear the most.
"Ah, no. This isn't supper like you think. Yes, it's supper.」
[Even if it is, it's not good for your body. You're still growing. Forget it, I've just finished my work. I'm going to borrow the kitchen."
[I said…]
At this moment. His savior had appeared in an unexpected place.
The surrounding scenery was instantly dyed red.
Red warning lights flashed everywhere, and the alarm suddenly sounded.
[Ah?] The Vermilion Bird looked around vigilantly. Cecil clutched his head tightly, as if he couldn't bear his headache.
It seemed that she knew what was happening in front of her.
An off-key high pitch came from the speakers in the hangar.
"Ah, emergency, emergency. Everyone, you've worked hard ~ Did you have a good break?」
Of course, this voice was very familiar.
Needless to say. It was the voice of the technical director of the special guide, Lloyd Asplind.
[But it's a pity!] The break time was over ~ ready to attack. Don't forget to prepare before you go out ~"
[Attack.] the Vermilion Bird repeated. Beside him, Cecil sighed deeply.
That place couldn't be called a village.
In the darkness, there was a wasteland with almost no signs of farming between the lush trees. It wasn't damaged by the war, as if it had always been like that. There wasn't even a decent path, and the path through the forest was probably trampled by wild beasts. However, the water and electricity were mostly connected. Of course, this was an illegal method without any permission. According to the feedback from the sensors, there was a hole underground. It wasn't a natural hole, but a man-made one. This should be the real hiding place.
The bright moon that seemed out of place above their heads gave them an inexplicable chill.
[I don't like this place at all.」As she stood on the hill and looked down at the village that could hardly be called a village, the military uniform wearing Cornelia muttered softly.
Beside the princess, Knight Gilford followed her as usual.
Therefore, the only person who could hear Cornelia's muttering was Guilford.
[Are you worried about something?]
Cornelia did not seem to want to answer Gilbert's slightly surprised question directly.
She only looked down the mountain with an unhappy gaze.
[According to the intelligence, there seem to be many young soldiers under the age of fifteen in this village.」
[Ah, yes, this is because...]
"Don't misunderstand, Guilford. No matter who it is, if they dare to point a weapon at me, no matter how old they are, I will not be lenient. I will give equal respect to my enemies and destroy them.」But she said so. There was a needle-like gleam in Cornelia's eyes.
"Of course I know that. However, there was no need to pay respect to those who had dragged their children into the war because of their own decisions.」
This fellow was like a roundworm in his stomach. Cornelia complained in her heart. There was still no news of her younger brother, Lelouch. This made her feel even worse.
In fact, when she found out that he was still alive, she was in her room, jumping around in a good mood, which did not match her image at all.
[Japan's Ether Party?]
When Vermillion Bird asked about this name, Cecil, who was staring at his laptop in the camp, nodded. He nodded.
" Although there aren't many members, they are quite famous in this district. This is because…"
[I know. They were a radical organization that claimed to eliminate all Britanians, whether soldiers or civilians.」
"The organization's methods are also quite brutal. It was an organization that engaged in terrorist activities and did not choose to snipe targets for its own sake. Regardless of whether the target was a civilian or not, as long as they were Britanians, they would kill them without exception.」
'There's no cure for this,' the Vermilion Bird thought. No, it was not just this terrorist organization. As long as it was related to such terrorist activities, he would maintain this view.
Could it be that they wanted to return to seven years ago?
In that era of war where human lives were thinner than paper
Moreover, the Vermilion Bird muttered in his heart. In reality, the so-called war was not something that could be ended simply by victory or defeat. Especially for the people of the defeated countries, the more miserable start was after the victory was decided, which was after the war. In a war where everyone was trying their best to scheme against each other, the violent atmosphere produced by the chaos of war had long spread to every corner. Therefore, the people who were in it would also expose the unforeseeable ugly form of a stable life.
This was not as simple as the victor torturing the loser. Even if they were both losers, they would fight each other for their own survival. In these seven years, the Vermillion Bird had seen enough of this kind of ugliness and was unwilling to face it a second time.
Now, seven years had passed. District 11 had finally gotten rid of the extreme chaos after the war and temporarily entered a stable state.
Of course, Vermilion Bird wasn't sure about District 11 yet.
In particular, he had always been critical of Britania's racial policy, which made a clear distinction between those of subordinate origin and those of native origin. However, what would happen if they directly confronted the rulers of Britania? Perhaps it would end up like seven years ago. " I'm afraid they've misunderstood the meaning of the so-called 'patriotic'," Vermilion Bird thought." This is really too stupid."
Using strength to save everything
Anyway, the result was already known.
[Lord Vermillion Bird?]
The sudden call brought the Vermilion Bird back to reality.
Although there were times when he would act without thinking, once he started thinking, he would spend a lot of time in deep thought. This could be considered his own quirk.
Pulling the zipper of the flight suit to the neck, he drew out the air from his wrist to make the clothes stick to his body. While changing, Vermillion Bird turned to Cecil.
[Sorry. Is the headquarters of the Japanese Ether Party there?」
[Yes, yes.]
Cecil seemed to find it strange and nodded again.
"You must have heard about what happened four days ago. This was the terrorist bomb attack that involved the three-year-old girl.」
[Yes.]
"However, the media didn't report this incident. It might be the doing of those guys. However, in the end, we still managed to obtain information. It seems that one of the members who were arrested confessed to their hiding place.」
So that was the case. The Vermilion Bird understood. At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted from the side.
"Even so, I think this is just superficial information.」
The sound came from the head of the large trailer carrying Lancelot.
A man who looked nothing like a typical soldier was sitting diagonally beside the open car door, looking up at the night sky. She was not wearing a military uniform, but a white coat like a researcher's. Her feet, which were swinging back and forth on the assistant seat, were very slender as if they had not been trained. Although he was tall, he was not a muscular man. Moreover, he was wearing a pair of frameless glasses on his fair face. However, he didn't give people the feeling of being shrewd and capable like Gilbert, who also wore glasses. Instead, he gave people the impression of a bookworm who was immersed in the research institute.
However, he was still an out-and-out soldier with a high military rank.
His name was Lloyd.
He was the director of the technical department of the special guides that Vermilion Bird and Cecil were assigned to.
" What do you mean?"
In response to the Vermilion Bird's question, Lloyd maintained his happy posture as he gazed at the sky.
"Yes, it means what it says.」
"All the troops have given the standby order and are already in the midst of battle, but this person's voice doesn't sound nervous at all. Of course, there was no such thing as a tragic feeling.」
"Well, let's make a simple guess. The so-called Japanese Ether Party was quite famous for educating its members thoroughly, right? Therefore, their members could even carry out terrorist attacks on children as if nothing had happened.」
[That is…]
[Of course, it might not be to the extent of brainwashing. However, I don't think that the member who was captured by the army would give up the location of his base so easily.] Moreover, it happened to be in the next two to three days.」
Cecil realized the importance of his words before the Vermilion Bird did. Her expression immediately changed.
[Wait a minute. Then, the information that our higher-ups obtained about this place at the beginning…"
" Or maybe it's information obtained from other sources. At the very beginning." As he spoke, for the first time, a hint of instability appeared in the smile on his face.
[Don't you think it's ridiculous? We rushed here overnight and found out about the terrorist's nest, but now we're all on standby instead of launching an attack. They had even set up a frontline Knightmar assault formation. Considering that the opponents were hiding underground, they planned to scatter and land from the air. But now, it was over without doing anything?」
"However, at the very least, the main culprit of this incident must be arrested and sent to the military court.」
"Where's Her Highness Cornelia, who has been silent since she came to this area and defeated the resistance organizations everywhere? She's not here anymore ~ She's not here at all ~"
Shaking his head exaggeratedly, Lloyd easily jumped down from the tow truck assistant seat.
She looked weak and gentle, but she was surprisingly agile.
Just like that, he walked towards Cecil and the others. The light behind his glasses flashed mischievously as he looked up at the trailer parked at the side.
"Aiya! Although it didn't matter what I did, if I could activate this Lancelot, everything would be fine. It would be a perfect solution!」
And in an instant, Cecil's expression also began to be tainted with some other meaning.
" You mean this incident?"
[What?] said Lloyd.
Cecil sighed.
[This is something that can only be said here. Even if there is an order to attack, can we still attack? For us."
[Aha, I've been exposed.]
"Of course. Whether she was good or bad, Governor Cornelia was still a typical Britanian.」
"The person who represents the Britania Empire.」
Why didn't she order the special guide technical department to attack when she was carrying out the military operation?
The decisive factor.
It was the Vermilion Bird.
Britanians born in their own country could not be compared to those born in the neighboring countries. This was the current Britania. Although there were also people like Cecil and Lloyd who had no prejudice against those who were born in the territory, the overall trend was not the same for the entire country. In fact, in the ruling army of the 11th district, there was a faction called the pure-blooded faction. The people of this faction were proud of their bloodline and were quite hostile to people from other territories in the ruling army. Even the country had tacitly agreed to this difference in ranks, so it was naturally a matter of course in the army, which sang the praises of patriotism.
The problem here was that the second princess of the Britania Empire, named Cornelia, was indeed a woman with a noble personality to a certain extent. For example, some of the higher-ups felt that rather than letting the people from the neighboring countries wander around in front of them, it was better to make the best use of them and let them fight on the battlefield. Such things were not within her consideration at all.
For Cornelia, only protecting the country and its people was the supreme mission. And she believed that this task had to be completed by the Britanians themselves. In other words, this was only the duty of a noble. This was the typical thinking of the ruling class. In short, for her, the people of the dependent countries under Britania's rule were only protected and could not play the role of guardians.
By the way, why did people like the Vermilion Bird have such a unique position in the Britania army, and why did they acknowledge the existence of the KnightmareFrameLancelot? This was because this special team of guides had a certain uniqueness. This department was usually referred to as the Special Task Force. Although it was formally under the jurisdiction of the 11th District's ruling army, in fact, from the name of its special dispatch, it could be seen that it was actually a force directly under the country. Someone who had higher authority than Cornelia in the country's higher-ups not only recognized the existence of the special mission and the Vermilion Bird, but also did not allow the princess to control the special mission force with her own will. And that was something that Cornelius was quite dissatisfied with.
Therefore, it was difficult for the technical department of the specially dispatched guide to have a good expression on her face.
Although he did not give them the cold shoulder or persecute them, he would never treat them as his own army. She only needed to stay in the army, and he would never put her in an important position. This was the attitude that Corelia had always carried out.
If we don't suffer a direct attack, we won't have the chance to fight. Even though he wanted to obtain Lancelot's combat data, he couldn't move now. In other words, it would be meaningless if he did.
"That's why we don't have to care about whether it's meaningful or not. According to what you said, aren't we also likely to be attacked directly? Can't we create some chaos in their base?」
[But Suzaku-kun still has to go to school, right?」
[Ahahaha. What? So that was the main point. Cecil, has anyone ever told you that you're more suited to be a nurse than a soldier?」
[Can't I tell you the truth?」
"Ah, no, no, this"
The unstable atmosphere between the two of them did not seem to reach their commander. The Vermilion Bird stood in front of the tent and looked to the northwest.
Under the bright moon, one could see the dense bushes, and the dark shadows of the trees blocked most of the view. Therefore, they could not see the terrorist base from here.
In other words, the Vermilion Bird and the others were not waiting at the front line. Rather than calling it the front line, it was more like the far back. Meanwhile, the Britanians 'Knight Mare troops led by Cornelia were advancing into the depths of the forest in front of them.
Cecil had also said that anything unexpected could happen, so he might give the order to attack.
However, the Vermilion Bird felt that it was not a bad idea to maintain the current situation.
Of course, it was not because his opponent was also Japanese that he felt lucky that he did not have to fight them directly. Regrettably, he had long forgotten about this sadness when he was determined to become a member of the Britania army. Therefore, regardless of whether the opponent was Japanese or not, as long as they dared to harm any civilian living in peace or dared to defy the rules of this world and stir up chaos, they would be the enemy of the Vermilion Bird.
However, the Vermilion Bird was very concerned about what Lloyd had just said.
As he said, there were indeed many incomprehensible aspects of this battle.
He also had a strange premonition.
What was this premonition?
Before he figured it out, it might be better to maintain the current standby mode.
In fact, there were other people in the army who felt the same way.
The man named Andre Dalton, who was only second to the Governor of the 11th District, Cornelia, was the deputy general.
Dalton naturally knew more about this battle than the Vermilion Bird.
In short, the purpose of this battle was not just to defeat the terrorist base. Just like what Lloyd said, it would be even better if they could attack the terrorist village with missiles.
The reason why he didn't do so was because he had other motives.
Reporting to the Governor, the assigned Glouchester aircraft has arrived at the designated location and is ready to move at any time.
The so-called Glouchester was an improved version of the fifth-generation Knight Sutherland, the main force of the Britania Army. Compared to Sutherland, it was more focused on close combat, and in combat, it was equipped with the launcher that the Rogue was proud of. The personal guards of Governor Cornelia were basically made up of Gloucers. Their purple bodies were the symbol of the Battlemage of Britania, Cornelia.
[I know. He told them to stand by. After that, I will give them the signal to attack.」Corelia's response came from Sutherland's communicator.
"According to our intelligence, Knight Mare is also on the move. I think they have already come out in full force, so please leave the task of commanding the underground raid to me.」
[I know.]
The communication should have ended here, but the two of them had gone to the same battlefield countless times.
Dalton was just about to close the Glouchester internal communication channel that he controlled when he suddenly heard Cornelia's untimely and gorgeous laughter.
"You seem to have an emergency report, Dalton.」
For a moment, Dalton was tongue-tied, and then he smiled shyly.
"Your Highness, understanding your subordinates 'hearts too much is not so much a virtue as a flaw. Only a monarch who could not let his subjects feel tired could be called a wise monarch.」
"There are many subordinates who are afraid to speak out under pressure. Instead of doing so, it's better to speak out boldly.」
[Yes!]
Dalton's expression became serious.
"Governor, according to our intelligence, isn't this gang related to ZERO? Why were their actions and ideas so different?」
[I know this. Speaking of which, ZERO was a person who knew how to cater to the people. However, the so-called connection between them and this group did not refer to an alliance.」
[Could it be that the opposite is the opposite?」
[It's only natural for me to think so. Based on the information that Guilford brought back…This gang was indeed tracking ZERO's whereabouts. Moreover, there seemed to be members of this gang among the terrorists killed by ZERO at Kawaguchi Lake. Therefore, not only were they not willing to unite, but they also wanted to fight each other.」
[But…]
[Even so, they don't know where ZERO is hiding.」
[ZERO should still be alive. It's just that we might not necessarily have as much information as those guys under the same search. No matter what, they're on the same side as ZERO, so it's very likely that they have information that we don't.」
"But they won't tell us honestly.」
"Because of this, we have to capture as many of their main members alive as possible. Originally, I had no intention of sending these guys to the judicial process. Personally speaking, I prefer to use drugs to make them obediently confess.」
Cornelia's voice suddenly sank. Even Dalton felt a chill down his spine. This was also the reason why the princess was called a witch by her enemies. She would never compromise as long as it was related to the annihilation of the enemy. I'll do what I say. It was also because of this that she could have such a glorious battle record today.
However, at certain times or situations, this could also become her weakness.
As an experienced soldier, while Dalton was thinking about this, Cornelia had already turned to the next topic.
[All in all, we'll put ZERO's matter aside for now. We need to deal with these guys first. They've really caused us a lot of trouble. Take care of them once and for all! Dalton!"
[Please leave it to me!]
[I still can't make her understand.]
With a faint worry and an annoying premonition that lingered in his heart, Dalton once again made the oath in his deep voice.
After that, Dalton and Vermilion Bird's premonition came true.
[Are you serious,ZERO?」
Don't think too much, Fan. By now, Corelia's troops must have been mobilized in full force. Now that she did not have her own personal guards, there was almost no one she could trust around her, Corelia. If she wanted to completely destroy a stronghold, she would not appoint any of the generals in the military district. She would personally take action.」
[But, is it alright for us to use the Ether Party as bait?」
"That group of people was never on the same side as us. It was just a one-sided hostility. They were the ones who had been brooding over the attack. This time, he was just borrowing the Britania Army to make them suffer the consequences of their actions.」
"Don't get the severity of the matter wrong, Fan. It is impossible to achieve our goal without sacrifice. There was no need to show any sympathy to those who had already become obstacles.」
[I know. They were ready to move out at any time.」
[Very good. Then…"
Dark clouds covered the moon.
It instantly turned dark.
At this moment,
Move out!
At the same time, on the other side, Cornelia also gave the order to attack from her personal Glouchester.
[Landing!]
Deafening booms rang out simultaneously in the two islands that were once called Japan, turning into a vortex of regional sounds in the silent night sky.
The moment the earthquake-like explosion shook the building, the man immediately jumped up from his chair.「？! What's wrong?"
However, he did not panic. Instead, he immediately ran to the window to peek at the scene outside. This was what a person with military affairs should look like. However, that was all the man could do.
The man looked out of the window and saw that the other end of the straight road was already on fire. Not far away, a huge pit was blasted in front of the iron gate, and the cement fragments that were stirred up splashed everywhere like building blocks.
[W-What?!]
The intercom suddenly rang, and the man grabbed the phone reflexively.
"Director, terrorist activities! The terrorists attacked our base!」
The man should have given clear instructions at this time, because he was now the ultimate responsible person for all the facilities here. He should have given the order to the soldiers here to attack and try his best to defend this important venue. In short, his duty was to take corresponding measures in an instant. If he did that, he might be able to prevent the enemy's attack from succeeding.
However, the man did nothing but run around. In the blink of an eye, the chaos spread to the entire base.
Gunshots and explosions could be heard everywhere.
It was mixed with roars and screams. The attack wasn't just from the front. Even the side door was on fire.
The man's confusion had turned into fear.
Staying here would kill him!
At this moment of consideration, he abandoned all responsibility.
They would only shout and defend themselves! The man struggled to move his fat body and desperately escaped underground. There was an emergency shelter there. If they could escape and close the door, no one would be able to break through from the outside. If they waited there, there might be reinforcements from other bases.
Entering the password into the touch screen, the heavy door of the fallout shelter slowly opened a crack, and the man rushed in like flying and hid in the low space.
At this moment, the man finally heaved a sigh of relief.
but
But at this moment, the man began to taste the true horror.
"Aiya aiya, leaving his subordinates behind to escape alone, there really is such a pig-like officer!」
The man's eyes widened.
There should be no one there.
A figure was reflected in the darkness.
Black cloak, black gloves, black boots, and
Black mask.
All these elements could only form a single word that instantly jumped into the man's mind.
" You, you're ZERO?!"
Under the mask, ZERO, no, Lelouch, and Lamperuge revealed a cold smile.
"Although it seems like this is the first time we've had a conversation like this. But I think I know your personality quite well, and your actions are easy to guess. So I've been waiting here leisurely for the arrival of my lord.」
The built-in loudspeaker transmitted the voice clearly.
The man couldn't help but take a step back.
[Wait, wait a minute! I…"
[I told you that I know your background very well, right? The General Staff of the 11th District of the Holy Britania Empire, the Central Military Administration, Kikolov Murat.] When the former governor, Clovis, was in power, he was actually the third person in charge of the ruling army.
Fools from the General Staff. Later on, Cornelia felt that there was no need for such unworthy advisors like you to exist, so now you're all being treated coldly. At present, you're just being rewarded with a mouthful of food.」
[I…]
[However, if I were Cornelia, I probably wouldn't even bother to give you cold food. Why? Because of you…"
At this point, Lelouch burst out laughing.
[Ahhh, there's no point in me saying all this here. You'd better walk to the guillotine with your own legs.」
[W-what do you mean?!]
Don't misunderstand, I'm too lazy to dirty my hands. It was just an order.
As Lelouch spoke, his left hand reached out to his left eye under the mask and pressed a small switch, revealing his eyes.
A magical mark appeared.
Eyeballs.
In the eyeball.
It was as if it was invading Lelouch from the inside, spreading in his originally clear pupils.
It was like an immortal bird that had been reborn from the ashes.
The light produced by the depths of his left eye had a strange red glow.
Then, Lelouch quietly ordered.
[Tell me.]
In an instant.
The world had turned upside down.
Everything in reality was gone with the wind, turning into a strange, enigmatic peace. To resolve all contradictions and rebuild an ideal world that was like a two-sided mirror that could not be understood by all consciousness in reality.
This place was neither heaven nor hell. The sea was harder than diamonds, and the stars were darker than the night. Right and wrong interchanged and intertwined. Only a certain supreme and honorable person was crying. The chaos that had existed since birth was quietly permeating the infinite universe.
This was the power that C.C. had given Lelouch.
This was the only time. No matter who it was, they would obey any order given by Lelouch. The formula to destroy the world.
Its name was Geass.
The firebird flew into the man's eyes from Lelouch's pupils.
Lelouch continued.
[Tell me. Tell me everything you know about Rick Boccado.」
and that person
He began to confess everything.
[So, what was the result?]
As usual, C.C., who was sitting on Lelouch's bed, treated this place like his own home.
At that time, Lelouch had just taken a shower and was roughly wiping his wet black hair.
After a series of vigorous wiping, he finally wrapped the towel around his head.
[Nothing special. Apart from being in charge of guarding the Britania Army, Kikloof Murat seemed to be doing some part-time work that had nothing to do with the mission.」
[Working?]
"It doesn't seem to be called a traitor. That guy's goal is just to fill his own pocket.」
Lelouch threw his burning body onto the sofa and reached out to pick up a glass. Inside was whiskey soaked in three ice cubes to moisten his throat.
Lelouch took a deep breath and stretched his body.
Then, she turned around and looked at C.C., who was lying on the bed.
"That man has private dealings with the anti-government forces in District 11, and he earns a lot of money every time. He used his identity as a staff officer to not only leak internal information to the terrorists, but also secretly sell the weapons in his hands.」
[Oh, oh, he's a big villain.]
"This is just a small matter. It's impossible to shake the situation in District 11. At most, he could earn some pocket money. However, this fellow had spent money to buy his current status. No one knew what he had done before. Desire would expand infinitely with the change of status.」
[It's a pity that you've blocked his path to wealth before this. Is this also the way you're good at buying people's hearts?]」
"Of course, after this, Murat's confession video and evidence will be sent to all major media outlets in the name of the Black Knights. It would also be announced online. However, the video could be said to have been coerced, and official evidence might not be valuable. However, there would always be people who believed in him. And it was our Black Knights who exposed the corruption within the Britania army.」
[Yes.]
C.C. hugged the big cushion on the bed to his chest and asked with a tilted head.
"But how do you know so much about that man?」
After hearing this, Lelouch suddenly revealed a wicked smile. Then, he immediately returned to his calm expression.
"Of course I know. Speaking of which, our Black Knights have also received that fellow's care. Magnificent Lotus's Glass originally came from that guy. Of course, I haven't traded with him directly, so tonight is the first time I've met him.」
As expected of Lelouch. C.C.'s mouth fell open in amazement.
[You sold the person who helped you in the past to improve your reputation.]」
[I've long wanted to cut ties with that guy.」As he said this, Lelouch's smile turned into a sneer.
" Fortunately, we still have other ways to obtain weapons. Besides, that kind of man will betray us soon. Giving false information, getting rid of all of us in order to get promoted, and so on. That guy is such a fence-sitter."
Lelouch spoke so indifferently, and there was no guilt in his words or tone. He couldn't feel it at all. He just smiled with such a proper expression.
C.C. was speechless at Lelouch's reaction.
Though I've long expected him to twist and twist
But I didn't expect it to come to this.
Perhaps it was because of this that he was more suitable to become his contractor?
At this moment, a question suddenly appeared in C.C.'s mind.
She didn't think too much about it and asked.
[By the way, what happened to the Rick Boccado incident?」
And following her words,
Lelouch's expression suddenly stiffened. The smile disappeared from his face and he avoided C.C.'s gaze.
He silently swirled the wine glass in his hand.
[Lelouch?]
C.C. asked again. However, the only answer she got was the crisp sound of the canned food on the table.
Lelouch replied lightly.
[I was indeed a step too late.」
[What?]
"We misjudged Rick Boccado. On the surface, he was an ordinary employee working in the concession bank, but his actual identity was not the same. He was an intelligence officer, and he probably worked directly for Cornelia.」
C.C. held his breath.
" Bocado must have been following Cornelia's orders to investigate Kiklov Murat. It was mainly about the direction of the money. This wasn't just limited to the orders given to Bocado. There should be many other people like him. Because now, Cornelia had made it a top priority to rectify the discipline of the 11th military district, and Bocado had evidence of Kiklov Murat's corruption, and he was killed because of it. He was killed by the Ether Faction, which had close ties with Murat.
Murat just had to be involved with the Black Knights from the start. As soon as he realized that he might be abandoned by his trading partner, he immediately changed to another reliable partner. This was my mistake. I should have noticed and cut off the connection between him and the Ether Party at the first moment.」
C.C. listened to Lelouch in silence.
Lelouch turned around again.
His face was expressionless.
He said in a voice as expressionless as his expression.
"Don't misunderstand, C.C. I have no special feelings for Bocado. As an intelligence officer, he should have realized this long ago. Killing or being killed was a life-and-death struggle. In this regard, I share the same opinion as Cornelia.」
Yes, it was.
Indeed.
but
Moreover, as Bocado's wife, if she knew that he was such a man and still insisted on being with him, she should have more or less the same understanding.
[Their three-year-old daughter is innocent!]
Lelouch said in a low voice and turned his face to the side again.
This was because children could not choose their own parents.
so
C.C. hugged the cushion and somehow remembered what happened a few days ago.
He recalled the sunset when he sent Lelouch off in this room.
This man did not have a sense of justice, C.C. concluded. And now, she also believed that this conclusion was correct. However, he did not abandon his most fundamental feelings. No, it was impossible to give up, because his current goal was also born from feelings.
He wanted to protect his most important sister.
Revenge on the father who abandoned him
In the end, everything that this man did had the shadow of emotions, so he kept repeating the original path. A person who could completely overturn the Empire that dominated one-third of the world could not be called a human. Under the great desire, one could only see the path to success when they gave up everything else. However, he was still alone.
Take back your words.
This man was not qualified to be her contractor yet.
However, as he was thinking this, C.C. sneakily jumped out of bed.
He walked towards the sofa where Lelouch was sitting.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that Lelouch had already fallen asleep. Perhaps he was too tired. In fact, he hadn't had a good night's sleep recently. He had been busy working around the clock.
After a moment of hesitation, C.C. went back to the bed and picked up the folded blanket before returning to the sofa.
She gently placed the blanket over him, but Lelouch, who was sleeping on the sofa, still did not wake up.
C.C. sighed softly and turned off the lights in the room.
In the darkness.
The murmur was very soft and almost inaudible. It was gentler than usual.
[Good night, Lelouch. You should go back to school tomorrow.」
