June 28th, half past seven o'clock in the evening

"Lelouch, I'm sorry to borrow your house without permission, is this a student dormitory?" Conelia glanced around the room for a few moments, and then said, "It's better than Britaria's, are all your roommates out?" ”

"Imperial Sister, this is where the president specially provided it for me and Nanali to live, there is no one in all the rooms, only they will come here occasionally" Lelouch smiled and said, "Please use it, Nanali has been lonely for a long time, by the way, Nanali has not officially met with Sister Huang and Yufi"

"yes, after all, the balls have been too busy lately," Conelia rubbed her eyes at the mention of this, she didn't have the diplomatic skills of Schunezel, and the many banquets almost didn't fill her mind with a pile of mush

"Is Nanali out? I still want to see her at first glance" Cornelia took a seat and looked at the time, "It's already half past seven"

"Didn't Yuffie come too," Lelouch pulled out his chair and sat down, "Wandering around elsewhere again?" ”

"It's not that I remember that it should be the opening of Clovis's art museum," Cornelia also couldn't remember this kind of thing clearly, it seems that she heard Yuffie mention it a few days ago, and she didn't understand where that guy got the money to hold a private art exhibition and invest in the establishment of an art museum, and the official position of governor of District 11 is not oil and water

"Brother Huang really loves to play," Lu Luxiu laughed

"I'm sorry to hide it from you and Nanali at the beginning, but it's okay when Clovis is dead," Cornelia was a little angry when she said this, and when she first came to work, she told him that he just had to play it steady, but when she made that bear and let herself come over to pick up the mess, she couldn't wait to make a mess of the brioche bread

"Haha, the imperial sister has always had this temper, but she can't get used to the debauchery of Brother Clovis" Lu Luxiu smiled again, although it was pretended, but the corners of his mouth really hurt

"Young Master Lelouxiu, Miss Conelia, I'll bring the dishes first," just as Conelia wanted to speak, Saki Shiko had already begun to put the tray on the table

"Well, it's hard work," Conelia nodded indifferently, "Thank you for taking care of Lelouch and Nanali for so long, I'll give you a reward"

"No, but thank you for your kindness, Young Master Lu Luxiu, I'll retreat first" Saki Shizi bowed lightly and slowly retreated

"It's time to see that the time is also comingSpeaking of Lelouch, Nanali went to the back garden alone? It's impossible to go out on the street alone," Cornelia was a little worried, in front of her family and in front of outsiders

"Ah, Nanali has friends to take care of, it should be a little too late to play today" In fact, Lelouch was also very worried about Nanali, why didn't he call?

"Brother, I'm back, huh? Is there a guest at home today? The food smells hearty, and it smells of lavender," Nanali carefully pushed her wheelchair forward, smiling as she reached the living room door

"Nanali, long time no see" Cornelia looked at the royal sister like herself, both distressed and happy, distressed by her appearance, happy that she did not seem to have any mental illness, and the painful mark of Princess Mariana's death in front of her may have disappeared

"Is this voice the Imperial Sister Conelia?" Nanali asked in a cheerful tone

"Well, I'm here to go to Japan this time, and Euphemia and Clovis are here too" Conelia stepped forward, then half-crouched down and smiled at Nanali, "Nanali, you're getting more and more beautiful."

"Sister Cornelia is too, but I can't see you right now," Nanali said with a smile

"Nanali is such a strong child, I called Yuffie to come over quickly, it's almost eight o'clock now," Conelia took out the phone as if to hide her sadness

"Euphemia! Why hasn't it arrived yet? I think I told the driver where it was, did you go somewhere else? I'm going to leave you alone now," Cornelia answered the phone and said solemnly, "Come over right away, it's a family banquet today, Lelouch and Nanali are also busy, they still have exams in the past few days?" What are you doing if you don't open the door? ”

"Sister, it's because of this!" Outside the door came Euphemia's voice, as if someone else's voice was mixed in with it, "This man, he"

"What?! Dare to make a move on the princess of Britalia! Conelia pulled out her sword and rushed out of the door, and if it was thick, she would stab it directly in the direction where the sound came from!

"Ahhhhh!!!h The next moment, the familiar screams resounded throughout the student dormitory

Ten minutes later

"Clovis, why are you back?" said Cornelia, coughing dryly

"Because I heard that my solo exhibition was going to be held, I sneaked out of the confinement room, and finally came to Japan with a forged passport, but I couldn't contact you!" Clovis grinned

"Brother Huang, a little bit like a man," Yufimia, who helped him with the medicine, dissatisfied

"Speaking of which, Yufi, why did you use that man to refer to me just now! If you don't, Sister Cornelia will open the door and make sure it will be stabbed again," Clovis said with a smile

"Because you can see for yourself, Brother Huang, you are wearing sunglasses and a felt hat, of course I will panic when you see me grabbing it without saying a word," Yuphimia clasped her hands and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Huang, forgive me and my sister."

"You've been the most playful of us ever since we were kids. The result hasn't changed until now," Clovis reluctantly sat up, the expression on his face could be said to be gritting his teeth, "And the same is true of Imperial Sister Cornelia, if it weren't for the fact that I had also learned some fighting skills, that blow would have pierced my thigh just now."

"Actually, it's better if you don't hide, anyway, I will report to His Royal Highness the Emperor about your escape, and after watching your exhibition, I will return to China immediately, and I will send Guildford to escort you," Cornelia took a sip of hot tea and said indifferently, "Get ready, Clovis"

"Huh?! I was stabbed by the imperial sister, you didn't count, but you still have to be escorted back to China and continue to be confined, imperial sister, please forgive me, you are too much, right? Clovis shouted, causing both Euphemia and Nanali to laugh

"Excessive? You dare to ignore the punishment made by His Royal Highness the Emperor, if it weren't for the special situation, I would have asked the pro-guard team to take you on the plane now" Cornelia said indifferently, "Clovis, it seems that you have been too comfortable to be the governor of District 11 in the past few years, and even your mentality has been relaxed"

"This"

"Sister, Brother Clovis just loves art, and besides, don't you say it's a family banquet? It's not good to stiffen the atmosphere in front of Lelouch and Nanali, who have finally met each other," Yuffie smiled as she pulled Nanali and Lelouxiu to her side

"It's true, I'll talk about this question when I get back, it's really the same as what Yuffie said, this meal is a family dinner, so I'll spare you for a while" Cornelia glared at Clovis again, then turned to look at Nanali gently, "Nanali, do you need me to pick up the food for you?"

"Come on, Nanali, you eat some shrimp first, I've already peeled it for you," Clovis handed the shrimp meat directly to Nanali

"Just by hand?! Clovis, your etiquette! Cornelia scolded with great dissatisfaction

"Ah~ Thank you, Brother Clovis, my brother doesn't usually peel shrimp" Nanali smiled and opened her mouth, and then Clovis reached out and threw the shrimp meat in

"Lelouch, how can you not even peel shrimp" Clovis shook his finger, "This won't take care of Nanali"

"I can't help it, I don't need to say it, I don't eat seafood," Lu Luxiu tilted his head and said

"Hahaha, Leluxiu's physical strength is still the same as before~" Yufemiaa covered her mouth and smiled, "It was the same when I was playing hide and seek in the back garden, and Lelouch couldn't run far before the countdown ended"

"I remember once hiding directly under Princess Mariana's skirt, hahahaha~" Clovis couldn't help laughing

"These are all things from the past, don't mention them again!" Lelouch's face was a little hot

"Snap" Cornelia suddenly put her hand on Lelouxiu's shoulder, and then squeezed it a few times

"Sister Pain, what are you doing?" Lelouch was stabbed by the sudden pain and gritted his teeth and asked, "It hurts."

"Lelouch, your health is indeed too bad" Cornelia couldn't help frowning when she saw him like this, "And his physique is also thin, and his height is close to that of Emperor Brother Schunezel, but if you have this physical strength, you really want to find a knight like Yufpe"

"Okay~ Just let Lelouch's knight compare with Suzaku," Yuffie clapped excitedly

"Yufie, I haven't recognized the identity of that Shuki Suzaku yet, besides, of course the knight has to choose Britaria to be reliable" Cornelia said indifferently, "And I also need to test his strength, in short, you are not a child anymore, you must make a decision that you will not regret for the rest of your life"

(Suzaku, he's going to be a knight of Euphemia?!) Why? When Lelouch heard the news, he was still calm on the surface with a hint of an indifferent smile, but his inner side was already up and down, and he originally planned to let Suzaku be Nanali's knight, but there was no way, so let's hide the information he knew about Suzaku for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future

"By the way, Lelouch, let's continue the topic of knights, who are you going to want?" Cornelia tilted her head and asked, "I've brought a few nice young men, and of course I'd like you to take a look first."

"No, Sister Huang, I really don't need to woo woo!" Lelouch was just about to refuse, but Yuffie stuffed a small cake in his mouth, and almost choked to death

"Leluxiu, you can't refuse~ After all, as a man, if your physical strength is so weak, you will have an accident~" Yuffie chuckled and said, "Okay, my sister is caring about you"

"That's right, Lelouch, don't refuse, I'll help you find a candidate when you go back" Conelia said solemnly, "Your identity is different now, and Nanali needs someone to take care of you, doesn't it?"

There is no way to refuse "this" at the mention of Nanali, but after all, the guardian knight is also a Britarian, and the emperor is likely to make him betray himself with an order, or will he use Geass directly?

"Okay, what are you going to do about this at the family dinner, I do have a candidate for knights, I'll let him come out and meet you tomorrow," Clovis peeled off a crab shell and said, "Hurry up and eat, let's go out for a night view later."

"Okay, good~" Yuffie said happily

"Clovis, you're a prince anyway, how can you ......"

"Imperial Sister Conelia, the soup cooked by Miss Saki Shiko tastes very fresh, please take a bite" Nanali carefully handed the fish soup to Cornelia

"Ah, be careful, I'll do it myself," Cornelia hurriedly took the fish soup more carefully, and then blew it a few times before drinking it

"Well, it's delicious, Nanali," Cornelia smiled

"Well, thank you," Nanali smiled as well

"Nanali is such a good boy who knows how to be polite, by the way, Brother Clovis, I don't have anything worth sending, just give you this" Clovis laughed lightly and rummaged through his pocket as if he remembered something, and then pulled out a key card "This is the management card in my amusement park, as long as there is this Nanali, you don't need money to play anywhere, and you can also mobilize the backstage staff, find a time to play with Lelouch"

"Ah~ Thank you, Brother Clovis, brother, can you help me put it away" Nanali took the magnetic card and handed it to Leluxiu, and Lelouch had to put it away, the management card of the amusement park? Clovis has really invested in a lot of strange things

"Then I'll give Nanali the same gift, Qiang Qiang~" Yufimia took out something from the bag she brought in, "Nanali remember to keep it~"

"This is...... Where did you come from, Yufi? Clovis couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that kind of thing clearly, "Isn't this a pass for the institute?" Only the Governor of District 11 is eligible, and mine has already been handed in."

(Institute?) Is that what C.C said Clovis did privately...... Very good, this kind of thing is exactly what is necessary for me) Lelouch couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, it was really good to pretend

"Yufi, aren't you afraid of accidents when you give this thing to Nanali" Conelia stretched out her hand and snatched the pass "Enough, you look like a little girl, you're not going to fight on the battlefield, you're the princess of the royal kingdom who will marry someone in the future"

"Just kidding, this is a gift for Nanali" After sticking out his tongue, he put a straw hat full of bouquets on Nanali's head, "I knitted it with Japanese flowers and plants by myself, and it fits Nanali very well~"

"Well, Nanali is really beautiful," Clovis complimented with a smile

"Really, brother?" Nanali asked, tilting her head a little shyly

"Well, it's beautiful," Lelouch replied with a smile

"Sand", and then Lelouch himself had something on his head

"Lelouch, for you" Cornelia straightened the top hat for him, "I don't know what little girls like, but Guilford and the teacher told me what boys like in general, this is the dress I specially asked someone to make, let's put on the hat first"

"Hahaha! Lelouch, you really look like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland," Clovis couldn't help but laugh as he clutched his stomach

"Uh-huh! It's so similar! Euphemia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh

"Well, do you really want to send a set of other clothes? I was going to let Lelouch wear this outfit to accompany me to the banquet," Cornelia revealed her dirty wishes, and sure enough, ...... Forget it, it looks good, then I'll trouble Lu Luxiu for you these days, anyway, with your wisdom, you shouldn't have to worry about exams."

"Sister Huang, don't make trouble," Lu Luxiu smiled bitterly

(I can't go with you to the feast, because I intend to destroy the country that gave you these rights) But can the hatred for Britalia really continue to them? I don't know about it myself

postscript

"Yo," came the man's deep greeting beside him

"Well, is it really good for you to come to the banquet" Zero leaned against the iron wall and said silently, "Although you can get away outside, several of your former subordinates are still making trouble in the back streets"

"If it's them, you don't need to worry," Zhou Fangzun also leaned back to his side, "They are not guys who are afraid of something, but why are you here?" It's also good for a few of us to go out and open a box to chat about leisure."

"Because there needs to be a man named Zero here," Zero said silently

"Again, you really don't know if it's good intentions or selfishness, we're your friends" Zhou Fangzun said helplessly, "Take care of us, don't forget that we are indirectly gambling with our lives"

"You're used to it, aren't you?" Zero asked rhetorically, "It's just that no one dares to touch you, the backstreets symbolize not a sin city, but the most powerful low-level combat power in the whole of Tokyo, and being your enemy is actually no less than a Great Purge, no matter how the result is, it is the government itself that will be destroyed."

"No one dares to touch us, just as the academy city can only regard the so-called hierarchical abilities as weapons rather than tools, and no one can control the power itself" Zhou Fangzun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have already died in the so-called unemployed brawl, and now I am just a red haired man who supports me and Anna on the salary in the bar in Hawaii."

"What an apt description"

"Since you don't go to the tavern to talk, let's talk about it here, why use us" is not asking why you messed with Britalia, but this "You should know what this means"

"A lot of people only talk about why youkai lost to humans, but few people talk about why they got into a bloody fight," Zero said after a moment of silence, "because in fact, it's not the youkai who are forcing humans to resist, it's humans themselves, and what really causes war is humanity's resentment of its own incompetence and the peeping of those who have power, so what's the difference between the world now and the beginning?" Of course there is, but the status of the two sides is reversed."

"In the past, the youkai with power were at the top, and the humans without power were at the bottom, and the reason for the war was the stealing of power, but now if there is a war, what will be the reason?" Zero looked at him, the look in his mask was firm and serious, "It's because of the desire to master power. Hopefully, the unsheathed knives are scattered on the ground, and the warehouse in charge of storing them will naturally be afraid that one day they will smash the door."

"I'm a shameless villain, because I'm making war come early, it's a deterrent, it's a deterrent that Japan needs to think twice before doing things, but at the same time, it's also a lead, it's going to make Japan understand that internal troubles are more deadly than external worries."

"I seem to be able to change something"

(You still don't understand that Japan and Britalia are both big powers, and there is no real existence in their diplomacy, and if the next actions of the Japanese side are the same as expected, then you are the only ones to worry about) No one can guess their thoughts, because no one is more greedy than theirs

Of course, get rid of me
