July 3rd, 1 p.m

"Imperial Sister Cornelia, why do you look a little unhappy today?" Nanali strolls through the park accompanied by Saki Shiko, while Conelia, who is wearing a work uniform, chats with her

"Nanali, do you need a knight to protect you?" Cornelia suddenly asked, "After all, do you really need this physical condition?" ”

"No, my brother is my knight, and so is Miss Sakishiko," Nanali smiled

"Lelouch's physique" doesn't know how it was raised, although Princess Mariana said that she loves children very much, but she also has to help Lelouch do some physical exercises, his physical fitness and athleticism are really ridiculously poor, anyway, she has never seen a boy who can lose a race with a frog

"My brother's words are very reassuring, and I have always protected Nanali" Nanali obviously has a deep self-confidence in Lelouch "Don't worry, my brother won't let me get hurt"

(Protection, this time I came to Nanali is all because of Yuphimia) Cornelia sighed in her heart, her sister is really not suitable for doing anything outside her country, there is an emperor and a big brother in her country, and now once she runs out, she will be crazy, you must know that each royal family can only have one guardian knight, that is the only person who can approach and kill the royal family in principle, Moreover, for Brittalia, who is competing for the throne, the battle exploits of the guardian knights will become their battle exploits, like her and Guildford are exceptions, because as a Valkyrie, her combat exploits far exceed Guildford, so Guildford's role is only a deputy, which is the same as the second prince Shunezel, his guardian knight is used to organize the text and she is used to be an adjutant, they are all because they are too strong to be able to catch up with the cunzài

"Imperial Sister Conelia, you're here today for a reason, aren't you?" Nanali's words woke her up from her musings

"Thoughts? I didn't."

"My brother often says that there are actually a lot of things I can see, and the royal sister of Conelia is often silent because she wants to sue Sù Nanali because she has something, right?"

"Nanali, I'm going back to my country soon, the British are starting to put pressure on Britalia, I'm going back to be a deterrent" Cornelia's expression was a little sad "And Euphemia is going to stay here"

"You shouldn't be sad about this kind of thing," Nanali didn't understand what Cornelia meant

"Nanali, I'm going to take you back with me, and Lelouch will stay here to assist Yuphimia first, and I'll send Lelouch away after I come back in a few days" Cornelia bit her lip and finally spoke, "How about it?" Do you want to go back to Britalia with the royal sister? ”

"Yes," it was so refreshing that even Cornelia was surprised

"Nanali? Have you really decided? Conelia thought she hadn't heard, so she repeated, "I mean I want you to go back to Britalia with me."

"Well, I don't know what my brother's idea is, but if my brother agrees, I'll agree" Nanali smiled and nodded, "No problem"

"Nanali" Cornelia couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart, since Nanali, who was poisoned by that incident and looked like this, would agree, then presumably Lelouch would not have any complaints, so she would also have the face to go to Princess Mariana's grave

However, she is still judging others by her own thoughts, which is enough to make the situation worse

—————————————————————————————————————— dividing line of divergence

"What? Back to Britalia? It wasn't until the afternoon when Lelouch came home that he heard about it from Sakishiko

"Yes, I heard that His Royal Highness Cornelia has already arranged most of the situation, and he plans to take you over after Young Master Lelouch finishes the exam" Saki Shiko nodded "Miss Nanali also seems to be very happy"

"Nanali is happy?" Lelouch was a little surprised, why? She's not without friends here

"Okay, I see, you go and rest" After receiving an affirmative reply, Lelouch waved Saki away

"Cornelia! Do you think we'll be happy with that?! Are you culprits now seeking psychological comfort! Lelouch gritted his teeth in the empty bathroom and roared, forcibly blessing us with his so-called kindness? Do you think we are the toys of the Empire!

"In that case," Lelouch said with a cold face, taking off his student uniform, and then pulled out two pieces of clothing from the change of clothes

A moment later

"Hasn't my brother come yet?" Nanali, who had been waiting at the dining table for a long time, was surprised, "What is my brother doing in the bathroom?" ”

"Wait for me to take a look" Saki Shiko walked in quickly, and then came back right away, "Miss Nanali, Young Master Leluxiu seems to have been contaminated with something, and is taking a bath now"

"The clothes are littered again, really," Nanali said with a smile

"Yes, I'll clean up now"

"Isn't Nanali Leluxiu here?" Conelia, who said that she had left at night, came to the student dormitory again for some reason

"It seems to have got something dirty, so I'm taking a shower"

"Really? Then I'll wait, I'm going to leave soon" Conelia sat on the couch, and just now Lelouch called and said that she had urgent business to find her, so she could only order the others to wait at the airport first

(Cornelia can only be dragged in the dormitory by me for an hour at most, but as long as I can meet Karen and I) Lelouch walked briskly through the streets, still wearing the theatrical costume that looked like a play (in order to escort Cornelia safely on the plane, there must have been no precautions in the current embassy, I have made a second call to make sure that Euphemia is still in there and has not left, in that case)

"Zero, are you going to use us now?" By the time they arrived at the intended location, Karin and Fujido Kagamishiro had already arrived

"Time is running out right now, so I'll just say it again, we're going to raid the Britalia Embassy this time, and Cornelia is about to return home, so I've transferred almost all of my cronies from the embassy, and all we have to do is take away Yuphimia, who has temporarily taken over as the governor of District 11."

"Are you going to do this directly?"

"There's no time, agree or disagree!"

"I see," Karen, the first to nod her head

"I have no objection, although it is not martial arts, it is a good idea" and Fujido Kagashi Shiro also nodded and agreed to this plan, and the "Four Holy Swords" behind him could only agree

"Then let's go!"

"Yes!"

—————————————————————————————————————— princess and prince

"Suzaku, I'm a little uneasy in my heart," Yuphimia said softly

"I know, Your Highness the Princess, after all, Her Highness Cornelia is indeed a little too anxious to suddenly hand over this burden to you and Lelouch," Suzaku said, standing aside, "but I believe that Her Highness Euphemia can ......"

"That's not the reason, Suzaku, I'm thinking about something else" Yufemiaa shook her head, "It's Lelouch's business"

"Lelouch business?" Suzaku was a little surprised

"Well, Lelouch is the prince of Britalia, but he came to Japan for some reason, and there have been some changes in the middle, and I hope to let Lelouch and Nanali return to Britalia"

"It's a good idea," Suzaku was heartily happy for his friend's upcoming fate, he had never considered Lelouch's thoughts, and in their subconscious they all saw Lelouch as a prince, but they never thought that the prince was born for revenge, "Lelouch will be happy"

"Is that really the case?" However, there was always some uneasiness in Euphemia's heart, because she noticed something, something very important

"Your Highness Yuphemia, I think"

"What people!" Suzaku, who was about to persuade Yuphimia, suddenly heard something outside

"Smack!" Then the window of the embassy appeared to be smashed, and although the sound came from behind, it was also a disrespectful act

"Who!" Suzaku immediately rushed to the door of the office

“！” However, the other party's speed was faster than him, and as soon as Suzaku reacted, the door of the office had already been knocked open, and he also fell to the ground due to the reaction force

"Don't move!" The next moment three guns were already aimed at him

"No kidding!" I saw Suzaku tilt his head and roll to the side, and then when the other party wanted to shoot, he had already kicked the gun to the ground

"It's worthy of His Royal Highness Yuphimia's knight Shuki Suzaku, but it's a pity that you're not fighting alone," just as he had already knocked one of them down with a heavy punch, a man's voice came from behind him

"Is the sound of glass breaking in the backyard a trap?"

"Of course, I didn't have the courage to break glass on this street, it was just a falsetto from the indoor radio "The masked man is pointing a pistol at Euphemia's head" and I landed from the ceiling, the moment they slammed the door open, can I be obedient now?"

So Suzaku could only be tied up in front of Yuphimia

"Lancelot's driver......" one of them muttered after seeing the name tag pinned to his chest, as it had a tag that said he was driving a Lancelot, which meant his honor

"Is Mr. Zero of the Black Knights right," Euphemia asked, watching Suzaku tied up

"Yes, Your Highness Euphemia, I wanted to invite you to come with us."

"Of course you can, but please let go of my knight Shuki Suzaku"

"Of course we can wait until we're far away," and the two of them walked towards the door

"Your Highness Euphemia!"

"Don't make a noise!" Someone immediately gave him a blow to the back of the neck, but he didn't immediately fall unconscious

One of the women raised the butt of her gun and smashed it at him, so that even he could not bear the pain and fainted

"You clean up the scene first, I'll talk to her alone," Zero began

"But ......"

"I see," Fujido Kagamiro replied first, and Zero led Yufemiaa to the outside of the embassy

"Mr. Zero, you should know it's useless," Euphemia followed him down the alleyway, "You must have something to ask me about, didn't you?"

"Worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I want to use you to threaten Britalia to retreat"

"I guess you know it's impossible, Britalia doesn't lack a princess like me" At this time, Yuphimia was already a princess of Britaria, "I won't agree"

"Then Your Highness Yuphimia, do you really think that you can make peace between the two countries by certain actions" Zero said indifferently, "what do you want to do to stimulate the current situation?" ”

"The foundation of a country is based on the top, this question I hope you can answer first, Mr. Zero, what can you do" Yufimia said sternly, "Is it really possible to accomplish anything with the wrong method of war, even if the result that can be obtained is wrong?"

"What exactly is a mistake? Is your so-called peace the only means? ”

"Yes, a country can only be changed from within"

"I'm also changing a country from within"

"No, Mr. Zero, you are the people, and it is impossible for the people to do anything" Yufimia said loudly, "Reform is also the right of the superior in the final analysis, I hope you can understand that you are not reforming but subverting"

"Isn't the superior the superior only going to choose the guy who is in the best position for him," Zero said coldly, "How could such a person possibly do anything"

"Maybe you have some misunderstanding about them, I can only tell Mr. Sùzero that you have a truth, ambition can't change anything, you are just bound by victory, people with real ability need people to command even if they are grassroots people, and zero can't become a banner" Yufimia said "The flag is already flying in the sky, I hope you understand this"

"Your Highness Euphemia, are you only going to bless others with your self-awareness" Zero sneered "If you say that Zero can't be a banner, then are you enough to be satisfied"

"That's right, neither of us has the ability to solve the problem perfectly, Britalia is a country and can't take care of a small number of people, and the Black Knights can't stabilize a large country as a people, what we need at this time should be cooperation" Yufermia looked into eyes under Zero's mask "Please cooperate with us, you will provide us with the ideas of the people of District 11, and we will make the most correct measures according to the ideas"

"Only solidarity is the best way to point to the future, even if it is said to be naïve, as long as it is done, it is a success"

postscript

"Euphemia said this to me, and I don't know how to answer," said Lelouch as he sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "is she doing it wrong?" No, this is already the best thing I can do as a human being, and no one will sacrifice what I should have promised to win without relying on war."

"Isn't the prince going to take revenge," C.C looked at him, "all the hard work up to today has been in vain?" ”

"I don't know what the future holds, I'm out of confidence", the blueprint built by Geass has only broken today, and if you think about it, which battle with Britaglia has been won by him? Geass proved him useless, and after all, he seemed to have become a pawn in the game between Kyoto and Tokyo

"The unexpected maturity of the young man" C.C sighed lightly, "Lelouch, your path is very difficult, Geass is not a perfect ability, you are not abusing it right, otherwise it will run wild sooner or later"

"What can you do with the slogan of zero, C.C, can you sue me?" Lelouch turned his head to look at him

“…… This is a good opportunity, you can promise" C.C did not answer this question directly, the teenager in front of him is still a child, he has not experienced heart-rending pain and misery to make him make up his mind, and the only motivation is only his father's ruthlessness and indifference to him more than ten years ago, he is still only a 17-year-old child

"Promise? You're telling me to give up my present one qiē and give in to Britalia? ”

"Reform a country from within, Lelouch, don't use the name zero anymore" C.C Yan sù said "Britalia's name will be better than your other two names, you haven't done anything to force you to the only way now, you still have a choice"

"I don't know," Lelouch was confused, "I'm only thinking about one thing now, if I took off my mask, would Euphemia say the same thing?" Her hatred for Zero is limited to Area 11, but it's not, my hatred is for the whole of Britaria, and she can still hold my hand when she understands this? ”

"Are you finally confused, Lelouch" C.C approached, "what kind of identity should you use to survive, are you struggling with this?"

"Then I'll sue you," C.C said after receiving a nod of his head, "You are the prince of the fallen country, and Britalia, who allowed you and your sister to live in peace, is dead, and Lelouch v. Lampeluki is the best name for you, because he symbolizes your determination not to submit to the emperor and your desire to be the emperor, and this is the best choice."

"When you take off your mask, you have the most powerful weapon"
