Another two years passed by quickly. The day Lelouch had been waiting for had finally arrived. It was the day Princess Marianne was killed.
He didn't let Baijue replace him, and instead spent most of his time with Na Nali.
Lelouch didn't know what kind of feelings he should have for Mariana. She was very good to him and Na Nali. However, this care was a continuation of her love for Zarulu. She would definitely think of a way to kill whoever went against Zarulu.
Therefore, in order to not let the plot of Britania deviate from his memory, Lelouch simply allowed the plot to develop according to the original work, and Mariana's soul could still survive.
The night was so quiet, but a series of rapid gunshots came from the hall of the Palace of Aries, breaking the silence of the night. Lelouch, who was hiding outside the Palace of Aries, knew that these were the gunshots VV used to kill Princess Mariana.
Lelouch did not feel anything about Mariana's words. The only thing that made him unhappy was that VV still used Na Nali as a witness.
VV, I will make sure you die a horrible death. Lelouch secretly swore.
The next day, just like in the original novel, Lelouch rushed to the Palace of Aries, which had almost been riddled with bullets. A large number of guards were already on guard here.
A few nurses and doctors were surrounding a stretcher. The person lying on it was Na Nali. At this moment, her small head and eyes were wrapped in gauze. Looking at Na Nali's miserable state, Lelouch secretly clenched his fists. I originally thought that I wouldn't be angry, but this anger…As expected, I couldn't really remain calm.
"Lelouch! Princess Mariana had already left.”Cornelia walked over and hugged Lelouch. At the same time, she whispered into his ear," I'm sorry, Nunnally's injury..."
"I was the one who injured Na Nali. It was my inaction that caused it.”Lelouch placed the blame on himself. Even if he wanted to tear VV into pieces, he knew he couldn't do it. The biggest advantage of a transmigrator was that he knew the plot. If he killed VV now, he would lose this important advantage. He could only forcefully restrain his impulse. He had to follow the old path.
In order not to affect the plot, Lelouch decided to leave like in the original novel, so he went to find Zarulu. Dressed neatly, Lelouch walked towards the audience hall of the palace.
"The 17th heir to the throne of the Holy British Empire, Lelouch V. Britania, is here!”
The herald's voice rang out in the hall. Lelouch strode forward and looked at the tall man sitting on the throne. He looked as if he did not care about anything. Lelouch wanted to rush up and punch him.
However, he knew that he couldn't do it now. He gritted his teeth and cried out in grief and indignation," Your Majesty! Imperial Mother was assassinated! Na Nali is also seriously injured!"
There was no change in Zarulu's expression. He only said impatiently," Oh! I know, so what? Did you ask to see the British Emperor just to say such words? Pass it on to the next person. I don't have time to play with children!”
The surrounding ministers were in a discussion.
"As the greatest man in the empire, shouldn't Father protect his wife and children?”Lelouch resisted the urge to summon the Shadow Legion to massacre the entire battlefield and continued to shout.
"Being killed and seriously injured only shows that you are weak, and the weak have no value in life. The royal family does not need the weak!”
At this moment, Zarulu's cold voice reached Lelouch's ears.
"Then! I've given up my identity as a member of the royal family. I've had enough. Anyway, the royal family, which advocates the survival of the strong, doesn't need a weak person like me!”Lelouch looked at him and stood up unwillingly.
"You're already dead. You've been dead since you were born. The clothes you're wearing, the houses you live in, the food you eat, and even your lives are all given to you by me. In other words, you have never lived on your own, yet you are so ignorant!”" I'll send you to Japan," Chalulu suddenly said. He had a new idea. As long as there was value left, he would be fine." You're already dead and have no value. If you're a prince or princess, you should be a good exchange tool."”
"Is that so? I understand now. This is the value of Na Nali and I in your heart.”Lelouch turned around and left the audience hall. He wanted to accompany Na Nali. Cornelia was also in the hospital. He and Youfei were by Na Nali's side.
Although Corelia had already found out from Lelouch that the murderer was VV, she still pretended to search for the so-called " terrorists " for the sake of her work. She could not do anything to VV yet. VV was now in control of Britania's religion in Anding, and it was not easy to deal with them.
"Big brother." Na Nali replied when she heard Lelouch's voice.
"Na Nali, don't move. Don't worry, I'll definitely cure you.”Lelouch consoled.
"Mhm, I believe in you." Na Nali nodded sensibly.
" Lelouch, the doctor said that Nunnally's eyes were stimulated and she lost her sight temporarily. She doesn't know when she will recover, and her legs..." The big sister, Cornelia, didn't know if she should tell this cruel truth to her younger siblings.
"Sister Cornelia, don't worry. I already know about Nunnally's condition. I have a way to cure her.”Lelouch had some confidence in the power of the Holy Lord Talisman. However, they were still in Britania's territory. When they returned to the Chinese Federation, he would begin to treat Na Nali.
"That's good." Corelia was quite confident in Lelouch's methods. Whether it was the magic book he gave her or the power of royalty, they were both things that she had never heard of before.
"Lelouch, are you and Na Nali going to Country R?”You Fei interrupted.
"Yes." Lelouch replied.
"Big brother, we…" Na Nali was a little sad when she heard Yu Fei's question. Her mother was dead, and they had to be sent to another country.
"Don't worry, Na Nali. Brother will always be by your side. You won't be alone.”Lelouch comforted her and looked at Yu Fei." Yu Fei, the Emperor's orders cannot be changed. Believe me, I will come back. We will meet again."”
"Yes." You Fei nodded.
……
Lelouch and Nunnally were sent to Japan by Cornelia.
Lelouch was not worried about his and Na Nali's safety at all. Not to mention that the crew on his plane were basically people from Cornelia, Lelouch could also summon the Black Shadow Legion at any time. Moreover, as a hostage, his identity aside, Japan still had to protect him and Na Nali in name.
After a day of long-distance flight, the plane entered Japan. Lelouch took Nunnally off the plane and was sent by the Empire's diplomat to Prime Minister Xuanwu's villa in the suburbs. It was easy to guess that the nominal protection was actually imprisonment.
Because of the busy journey, the two of them rested for a day. The next day, under the lead of the diplomat, they took a car to a large manor outside the city. It was a typical Japanese style of architecture. The manor showed its owner's identity. Here, Lelouch finally met the father of his former best friend, Rosefinch, and the stable prime minister of Japan, Xuanwu Shuki.
It was hard to tell what this middle-aged man was thinking about. It was obvious that he was not an easy person to deal with.
"Welcome, the 11th Prince of Britain, His Highness Lelouch, and the 7th Princess, Her Highness Nunnally.”Although he was being polite, Xuanwu's tone was still that of a superior." Nice to meet you. I'm the current Prime Minister of Japan, Xuanwu."”
"Hello, Prime Minister Petrewood." Lelouch replied, unwilling to be outdone. He didn't fear the Pivot Wood Black Tortoise at all.
"Hello," Na Nali, who was hiding behind Lelouch, looked much weaker.
" En." The Xuanwu narrowed his eyes at Lelouch and said to the screen behind him," Come out, Vermillion Bird."”
When she heard her father call her name, the Vermilion Bird walked out from behind the screen and said embarrassedly," Hello! It was their first meeting! I am the Pinnacle Vermillion Bird!" The miniature version of the little Vermilion Bird bowed to Lelouch and Na Nali!
"This is my son, Vermillion Bird. I'll let him accompany you. I hope you'll be happy in Japan.”Xuanwu said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister Pedestal.”Lelouch expressed his gratitude.
"Hello! Vermillion Bird, just call me Lelouch.”Lelouch extended his hand to the Vermilion Bird, wanting to shake his hand.
"Hello!" The Vermilion Bird held Lelouch's hand shyly.
Finally, he saw the servant of the three surnames, Trash Sparrow, who was reputed to be comparable to Lu Bu. His combat ability was one of the best, and his level of being a traitor was also top-notch. He killed his father at the age of 10, and even said in a dignified manner that it was to save the country. How could he save the country by himself?
In R2, he became a Knight of the Round Table with the gift of Lelouch. Even if he became a Knight of the Round Table, did the region change? Did the style of Britania change? The answer was no. The Vermilion Bird's actions were of little use.
"Hello, I'm Na Nali." Na Nali couldn't see yet, but she was still very happy to see her new companion.
Accompanied by the Vermilion Bird, Lelouch and the rest returned to the villa where the Vermilion Bird had settled down. Soon, Lelouch discovered that the villa was surrounded by surveillance cameras and guards who were secretly monitoring it. Some of the security guards were very well done.
The life of the hostage was greatly restricted. He could not go out normally, and his scope of activity was limited to the villa. If he wanted to go out, he had to go through layers of approval, which was very cumbersome.
However, Lelouch endured all of this because he wanted to give Na Nali a period of recovery and let her walk out of the shadow of her mother's death.
The Vermilion Bird was very responsible as a companion and brought a lot of joy to Lelouch and Na Nali.
However, this period of time did not last long.
