"Although it has nothing to do with the Chinese Federation, it is a major matter. Is that really what Yagami said? Lelouch confirmed earnestly.

"Yes." Karen nodded affirmatively.

"What the hell is the big deal?"

"Since it has nothing to do with the Chinese Federation, it can only be Europe." Lelouch can roughly guess the location, after all, the places where Kamiyu has made his moves so far are nothing more than the EU and the Chinese Federation, but he has no clue what exactly will be sent.

Lelouch has an absolute disadvantage in intelligence, in just one or two months, the rapid re-establishment of the Black Knights is already the limit, and the tentacles of intelligence have not had time to spread outside Area 11.

"Hmph, although we don't know the way, in this place, we still have people to ask."

"Ask whom?"

"Of course, ask the most respected person here." At some point, Karuya jumped out from behind Karen.

"The most exalted? Emperor? ”

Alas, Karuya sighed involuntarily at the sluggishness of Karen's political concept.

At that moment, the guards' loud chants rang out in the hall.

"Representative of the Imperial Foundation, Imperial Kaguraya-sama has arrived!"

"Na~Na~ Suzaku!" Kino excitedly ran up to Suzaku.

"That's what you call axolotl charcoal, right?"

"Huh"

Suzaku, who was choked by Kino's words, didn't know how to answer for a while. In Kino's hand was a vegetable ornament carved into a unicorn.

"This is the decoration of the dish!"

"Decoration? But Miss Cecil seems to have eaten a similar bird just now, right? Kino looked at Cecil in a cheongsam not far away.

Although this eldest sister usually looks serious, she sometimes exposes her habit of liking to dress up for the occasion, which is commonly known as COs.

"Birds? Could it be a phoenix? Suzaku couldn't help but cover her face.

He admits that there are huge differences in food culture between the East and the West, but the dignified Knight of the Round Table, who is also a prominent nobleman of the Empire, Kino, also shows this childlike behavior, which makes Suzaku, who is also a Knight of the Round Table, feel embarrassed.

"Monica"

"Na! Suzaku, how about taking me to see the dishes you mentioned? Suzaku, who noticed Monica standing aside with a cold face and was about to say something, was stopped by Kino.

"Keno?"

Kino didn't allow Suzaku to say anything and forcibly dragged him away.

Kino's behavior is very easy to understand, although Ania is the most taciturn among the Knights of the Round Table, but this does not mean that Ania will not communicate with people, but her expression is more strange, and it takes time for normal people to understand. But Monica's situation is well known to everyone, and the current Monica can be said to be unapproachable.

Just like now, Monica's unintentional aura makes people subconsciously stay away from her, forming a vacuum within a radius of 3 meters.

"Excuse me, is it the Twelfth Knight, Monica Kurushevsky?"

A sudden voice around her made Monica turn her head.

No one who can see the situation clearly will take the initiative to touch this mold, even her colleagues don't dare, even with the help of the power of the sword, but the fierce man who can disassemble the machine alone has eliminated a lot of trouble for her.

"The Chinese Federation? Or is it "

The person who greeted her was very young, with a completely Oriental appearance, but the slightly strange pronunciation was a tongue curl from the Far East. It's just that wearing the military uniform of the Chinese Federation makes it a little difficult for Monica to judge.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just here to deliver a message." Yagami didn't want to explain anything.

His identity is too sensitive, and once explained, it is a nuisance. At this time, he was blaming his boss for giving him a dangerous and troublesome task.

"Message?" Monica's heart tightened.

This was the second time someone had come to bring her a message, the first time it was a cold-faced maid, and this time it was a young high-ranking officer of the Chinese Federation.

"Don't look at me like this, don't you know that your momentum is very oppressive?"

The young officer of the Chinese Federation raised his hand and took a step back.

"I don't think when you see that lord, he will never want to see your Excellency like this!"

"What did you say!?" Monica grabbed the other party's collar in an instant, and then pressed Yagami Yagami against the wall.

"Relax ~ Relax" The young man who was pressed against the wall still remained calm, although in the face of the girl's strange force, his back hitting the wall was hurting badly.

"Now we're visible enough."

Hearing the other party's reminder, Monica noticed that this small movement just now attracted the attention of many people around.

She could even hear people whispering.

"See? It's horrible. ”

"Who the hell is the man who dares to provoke the Knights of the Round Table in Bunitania?"

"Hmph, hillbillies in Afghanistan don't look in their own mirrors, they deserve to be taught."

【Afghanistan】

"Say whatever you want." Hearing this word, Monica immediately suppressed many doubts in her heart.

Since there is someone here who knows the identity of this person, it is equivalent to having a clue to follow, and Monica's heart is not so anxious.

"Can you please let me down first? I've got to write out of breath. It's a bad feeling to be grabbed by the collar and lifted. ”

"Say it." After putting the other person down, Monica crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall.

She didn't do this pose to avoid the attention of the people around her, but because it would help her hide her emotions.

"Monica, I'm alive. I'm very sorry all the time, but I'll tell you the truth when we meet. ”

After paraphrasing, Yagami just glanced at Monica, who didn't react at all, strangely. It's not that Monica doesn't react, if you look closely, you will find that her hands are clenching her arms, desperately suppressing the tremors all over.

"Representative of the Imperial Foundation, Imperial Kaguraya-sama has arrived!"

Just then, the sound of chants entered the hall.

"Kaguraya?" Suzaku was the quickest to react.

The so-called Imperial Foundation is just an empty shelf, since the Black Rebellion, the deformed consortium of Kyoto's six families has been completely eradicated by the Empire, and Kaguraya, who fled from the 11th ward in a hurry, may still have a lot of property left, but this level of financial resources is simply not capable of building a new foundation.

As a representative of the imperial family of old Japan and a member of the Black Knights, Kagura is too late to hide at this time. Now that he appeared in the venue in a grand manner, there must be a purpose.

Attracted by the new arrivals with everyone's attention, Yagami quietly left.

“Zero！”

I saw that standing next to Kaguraya was the number one terrorist in the world, Zero.

"That's true," Schunezel said, holding back his irrepressible excitement with a glass of red wine.

Schunezel knew exactly what Zero was doing, but this character, who only existed in words and photographs, was standing in front of him, and such an opportunity would probably come only once in his life.

"Eh, is that the ace of the Black Knights, the driver of the Red Lotus?" When Kino found Kalian, he said with interest.

"That guy before? It's more beautiful than the one on the wanted portrait~~ It's my favorite type. ”

"Keno, be careful that Fabre Qing is looking for you to duel." Suzaku whispered without replying.

"Luca? For what? Does he like this genre too? ”

"Red Moon Karen, also known as Karene Shutadfeld. was originally Fabreqing's fiancée. ”

"Huh!? Why haven't I heard of such a thing? As one of Luca's big relatives and friends, he had never heard of such a thing, and Keno suddenly had the illusion of being isolated.

As the number one terrorist in the world, he naturally has corresponding treatment, and for a while, Lelouxiu, Karen, and Kaguraya were surrounded by the Imperial City Guards of the Chinese Federation.

"Please stop arguing, today is to celebrate the day of the upcoming marriage between the Chinese Federation and our Bunitanian Empire, right?" At this time, Schunezel stepped forward to relieve Zero.

Although Zero dared to appear in the enemy camp in a grand manner, he must have a prepared way back, but Shunezel didn't want to take Zero at this time. When a person can be in this kind of crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is not self-preservation, but an opponent who wants to squeeze into this banquet and get a piece of the pie, and if he gets rid of it like this, the world world will be too boring.

"But," the eunuch looked at Schunezel in embarrassment.

As if to strengthen the effect of Shunezel's words, a two-handed sword with a black body shot straight at him, right between Zero and the guards. The enormous force produced an explosion-like sound, causing the guests to scream unknowingly.

Suzaku, Keno, and even Shonezel all turned their heads to look at the kumquat girl who was still leaning against the wall, as if she was looking down and pretending to sleep.

[Where did you get the sword from!?] Keno and Suzaku were in a cold sweat, knowing that no one was allowed to bring weapons into the banquet.

"Miss Huang, can you please not bring Zero with you to tomorrow's wedding?" Shunazel pretended to cough, but then jokingly changed the subject to Kaguraya.

"There's really no way around it." At this time, there is a staircase, and Kaguraya will not go down the stairs.

"Since His Excellency the Prime Minister of Bunitania has said so, everyone stand down!" The eunuch's reaction was expected by Lelouch and Kaguraya, but it still made their hearts sink.

Sure enough, the eunuch had completely taken refuge in Burnitania.

"Your Highness Schunezel, how about the next game of chess?" Lelouch suggested.

"If I win, give it to me."

"Huh?"

Lelouch's nonsensical request surprised the people around him.

"To Kagura."

"That's the best gift ever." Kaguraya said happily.

This proposal seems reasonable, and everyone knows that if there is one person who hates Suzaku the most, it is Suzaku's cousin Kaguraya.

For Suzaku to defect to the Empire, in turn to harm the life-saving benefactor, destroy the ambiguity of the Black Knights, so that in the end she is the only one left in the Kyoto Six Family (Suzaku is also one of the Kyoto Six Families). This hatred is like what Kaguraya said to Suzaku: If only words could kill

"So, if I win, can you please take that mask off?" Schunezel replied casually.

In his opinion, Lelouch's true meaning may be simpler than what she said, it is just a mutual temptation, and as for the lottery, no one will think of honoring it.

"Yes."

"Ha Lu, it seems that this is really a happy Yuxing show."

I know that the content of this chapter is very watery, and it is really a card again, and it took a whole day to make such a transition, and the next chapter is estimated to be a little better.

By the way, I rewatched the ninth episode of R2, 16 minutes and 05 seconds of footage, and the white chess pieces on the chessboard that obviously had an absolute advantage over Schunezel! The production team is really insincere.
