--Cornelia――

What is failure in your eyes?

The female who got out of the RPI-00/SC Gloucester Cornelia asked the male next to her with some irritation.

The person standing next to her, Guildford, the knight of the Second Princess, bowed and said

"There is no failure in my eyes, the reason why Her Royal Highness the princess didn't catch ZERO is because she wants to put a long-term line."

"You know what?"

"Yes."

Conelia looked at her battle distribution map in front of her, nearly a hundred Knightmare could be mobilized at any time, and if the Japanese Liberation Front and the so-called Black Knights provoked again, they would definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop.

On the way back to District 11 after training, Cornelia got out of the RPI-00/SC Gloucester and got into the front of the car, listening to a report from the previous battle.

We lost seventeen Knightmare, twenty of them were damaged to varying degrees, and the casualties among the soldiers were not serious, most of them were injured by stray bullets and shock waves of explosions, and the death toll was very low.

Cornelia had long known what the other party was thinking, and the reason why the Black Knights came to provoke the war so quickly was not to occupy the district office of District 11, but to once again show their solid position, to their ally, that is, the Japanese Liberation Front.

The next step was to report on the casualties in Area 11, and when she heard this, Cornelia waved her hand and told the statistician to leave, she was not interested in the report below.

The deaths of the people of District 11 were caused by the people of District 11 themselves, and if they had not resorted to such violent means of resistance, Bunitania would not have made a move to clean up the settlement.

Taking Guildford's Haode tea, Cornelia leaned her back in her chair.

"Did you find the location?"

"It has been found that the Black Knights are at the headquarters of the Japanese Liberation Front, which is close to Chiba Prefecture, and the mountain villa on the top of the mountain is their stronghold."

"Now that you've found it, are you ready? Gather all the KnightmareFrames and those who can fight at the ward hall and secretly march to Narita Rensan. ”

"But in that case, the ward government office will lose its strength to protect itself, and those who stay there will ......."

Don't worry, Cornelia took a sip of black tea.

"I'll have Euphemia go with me, I'll protect her, and as the lieutenant governor of District 11, it's essential for her to fight on the front."

Also, Cornelia opened the player in front of her, and on the display, a white mech collided with the enemy on the battlefield, and that place was where ZERO was located.

Being able to enter there does show the ability of the driver, but the so-called driver is from Area 11.

I had warned the people of the Special Sector not to let the people of District 11 drive the KnightmareFrame, and in order to punish them, they were also kicked out of the district hall, but I didn't expect it to work at all.

Cornelia looked at the white, seventh-generation Knightmare FrameLancelot.

"Its driver is a private named Suzaku of the First Class, an honorary Bunitaneian."

"That's what it says on the information, is Her Royal Highness the princess so worried because she knows what he did before?"

"You also understand that Guildford, Suzaku Shuki, became an honorary Bunitanian because he killed his father, the prime minister of the 11th district called 'Japan' at the time, Xuanmu Shumu, who can guarantee that he will not rebel again."

Just like ZERO, Cornelia continued.

"So in order to make him rebel and have no liliang, he is forbidden to drive the Knightmare Frame, and of course, the other people in District 11 are also allowed."

"Understood, I will pay attention to him, please rest assured, Your Royal Highness Princess."

That's good, Conelia rubbed her forehead and turned off the player, looking out through the window of the chariot.

Along the way, there were scenes of ruin, the ruins of the war were not rebuilt, and Bunitania would not have allocated funds to build the houses of people who liked to destroy their own homes.

The ruins and rubbles in the setting sun make people feel no better at all.

After passing through the residential area, which does not look like a residential area at all, due to its proximity to the ward office, the surrounding buildings are starting to improve, and at least it can be inhabited.

Entering the district hall, many soldiers were busy preparing for the next battle, and Guildford, who was standing on the side, had already given the order, and after that, it was a full-scale war with the Japanese liberation front.

Cornelia got out of the car, and a noble and slightly childish girl with beautiful eyebrows, jade nose, and a noble and slightly childish hair shook her slender hair and ran over, it was Yuphimia.

The dusk breeze made her hair dance, and even though she was the third princess, there was no trace of arrogance in her eyes, and she always looked lively and lovely.

Seeing Euphemia, Conelia's tense spirit suddenly relaxed a lot.

"How is life here? Also, as a lieutenant governor, don't behave like a child. ”

"Got it, Sister Cornelia, did you go well with today's training?"

"It's not good, it's my dereliction of duty."

"Don't say that, Royal Sister Cornelia's talent is recognized by everyone!"

"The higher the talent, the greater the responsibility, and the same is true for status."

Seeing that Cornelia became serious to Euphemia, Guilford, who was on the side, smiled in his heart and quietly left the scene to guide the soldiers in preparing for battle.

When Zuihou disappeared into the sky, the moonlight appeared in the sky full of stars.

This scene is difficult to see in the city, but the city has lost its original 'ability'.

Cornelia looked at the sky, perhaps in this universe above her head, there was a being who could be 'happy'.

She knew very well that Euphemia was not suitable for this place, war, killing, disease, panic, these were all things that she should remove, and there were two reasons for this situation, that is, the Japanese Liberation Front and the Black Knights.

Only by destroying them will Euphemia not have to live in war.

It's your responsibility.

Everything in front of us is like darkness that cannot be illuminated, what will the future hold for Bunitania? Cornelia didn't care, she was just doing her duty.

"Sister Cornelia, are you going to have dinner next? I sat down with a lot of dishes. ”

"You did it?"

Cornelia could keep her voice down

"It's good to let those chefs do it, but if it's done, let's try it."

She knew that Yuphemia could not mention the previous incident, and this was also her concern for herself.

The corners of Conelia's mouth curled in an arc that no one else could see, and she followed in Euphemia's footsteps.

――Lelouchau――

The battle line is unified, and the negotiations with that side have been completed, and the next thing is to wait for Zuihou's opportunity.

As long as you defeat Cornelia, you will be able to further control Area 11.

Lelouch turned off his laptop, and now that he was in his room, after checking for cameras, he took off his trench coat and hood, revealing his true face.

This is the headquarters of the Japanese Liberation Front, the top of the Narita Mountains, and Lelouch brought the Black Knights here under the pretext of temporary retreat and intensified training, in order to use the Liliang of the Japanese Liberation Front.

Leaning back on the couch, Lelouch fiddled with his bangs, defeated Cornelia, and took de facto control of Area 11, so that he had the capital to be able to fight against Bunitania.

Before that, we must be victorious.

Bunitania's technology is more advanced, and the number of KnightmareFrames is also superior, and the only advantage of the mountains is that they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but under the opponent's large-scale attack, it will not be able to play any role.

What will happen next will be a bitter battle.

"You have to give it your all."

"Huh?"

The one who responded to Lelouch with a question was C.C., who was squatting on the side.

She hugged her pillow and expressed her bewilderment at Lelouche's sudden words.

"It's nothing, and you, if you come back, go change your clothes, you've already been soiled in the previous battle."

"Change of clothes?"

"There are combat costumes in the room, which are similar to the KnightmareFrame driving suits, but they are very practical and comfortable to wear."

Well, C.C. nodded, her emerald green hair fluttering.

She stood up, placed the cushion next to Lelouch, and lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands.

"What are you doing?!"

"Change of clothes?"

C.C. tilted his head and replied to Lelouch's words with a question.

Lelouch said with his right hand to his eyes and his left hand pointing to the compartment

"Go over there and change, don't be here, it's a little self-conscious."

"Understood."

C.C. didn't look embarrassed, but walked into the cubicle with a blank look on his face.

Listening to the sound of his clothes rubbing against him, Lelouch remembered the day Shinjuku retreated.

She asked that person to play the role of Suzaku to attract enemy soldiers, a move that Lu Lu Xiu did not expect.

He knew that C.C. was not a machine and had his own judgment, but at that time he deceived himself, no, to force himself to agree to her, which was difficult for Lelouch to accept.

Although she once said that she would be very troubled if she died, so she always protected herself, which was not a bad thing for Lelouch, after all, in the future battle, it was a very good thing for someone to block bullets for her.

The thought of C.C. as a prop reappeared in his mind, and Lelouch covered his eyes to let himself forget about the idea.

It was she who gave herself liliang, and the original owner of this liliang of the king was her, and on the other hand, Lelouch thought that he had to be a good C.C.

As a witch who is feared and disgusted by others, she is now a little closer to some normal people.

The second puzzle is the appearance of the Pivot Wood Suzaku, and he also piloted the Knightmare Frame, a military machine that is not something that ordinary people can learn easily, even if it is easy to operate.

Lelouch analyzes all the information from this time, organizes it, and forms a document in his mind.

The doorbell rang, reminding Lelouch of the meeting he needed to attend later.

He got up from the couch and put on his trench coat and hood.

There is also a time limit for asking for leave from school, so Lelouch opened the door and took a step forward.

"Come quickly, Bunitania, my enemy."
