The pendulum of the table clock seemed to flicker endlessly, and the topic of choice was being spoken in a room of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce at the moment.

"Do you understand? Now I don't have many options but to do it. ”

Sitting on the sofa, Lelouch waited for Alyssa's answer, and the very intelligent merchant girl, who had always had countless ghost ideas, clenched her hands as if she was making a life-and-death decision.

The visit of her mother, Mrs. Angelina, caused Alisa's mind to be confused, and it was clear that her current boss had noticed something unusual about her mother, that is, her mother had suspected that her other disguised identity, 'female assistant Hillevi', was her daughter. Not to mention Lelouch or Elisa herself was aware of the situation. And now Lelouch has directly identified the situation with Elisa, although Lady Angelina is still a little uncertain, but it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.

Lelouch must find a way to prevent Lady Angelina from identifying Alyssa's true identity and spreading the word that 'Elisa' in the Golden Spike Territory is an impostor.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Geass power to give an order to keep Lady Angelina tight, and once the Geass power is active, it doesn't matter if Alisa directly recognizes Lady Angelina. The power of Geass is absolute, and in this other world, except for Xiang Yalin, a transcendent being, Lelouch believes that no one will be able to break free from the control of Geass by will.

For Alyssa, no matter what, Mrs. Angelina is her own mother, how could she be a daughter who watched others use unknown spiritual magic on her mother, you must know that Alyssa still remembers the picture of Lelouch using the power of Geass to control the staff of the Zhì Chamber of Commerce at that time. The spies and spies who originally came from different chambers of commerce and forces instantly turned into believers who believed in Lelouch under the effect of this power called Geass, and the fanatical look of chanting Lelouxiu's name was afraid that even the fanatical believers of the Holy See and the Holy Capital would sigh to themselves when they saw them.

And it is for this reason. Elisa was even more afraid of this force, although Lelouch said that he was only asking Lady Angelina to keep a little secret for her side, but Elisa was not sure if Lelouch would directly use Geass to directly control his mother and the entire Westphalian family.

"Still worried?" Lelouch was not in a hurry, but waited patiently on the table with his fingers crossed.

Alisa showed a bitter smile: "I'm sorry Your Excellency Lelouch~ After all, that's my mother." ”

"I can understand your feelings. ”

Lelouch nodded, "I might as well tell you directly, although the Geass power I possess can imply multiple orders, it can only take effect once on anyone." I'm not interested in controlling your mother and turning her into a puppet who obeys her command. Just let her promise not to spread the word about you, and as long as you have the power of Geass, I will not object to you now recognizing your mother directly. ”

“┉┉┉┉”

"Your strength is indispensable in the Free City, and I don't want to see the members of my team fighting each other, and I don't want to see a subordinate who is loyal to me on the surface but full of hatred in private┉┉Do you know what I mean? Alisa!" Lelouch said abruptly.

Alyssa took a deep breath, and suddenly the girl raised her hands as if she had changed into a different person: "I agree, I only hope that Your Excellency, you will keep your promise not to hurt my mother." ”

"Of course┉┉"

Lelouch was a little confused by the sudden change in Elisa's attitude.

In fact, for Alyssa, the main reason for her dramatic change of attitude is that she doesn't have too many choices. The game between the gods and demons has taught Alyssa the importance of power, and that as a mortal who has no power to contend with a being who transcends worldly power, she can only endure what she should endure. The lady of the sky, who used to be able to call the wind and rain in the Westphalian family and even the entire Bellamar Kingdom, has to work diligently as a subordinate for the master at this moment, perhaps in the eyes of others, it is simply a very unfortunate fate, but in Elisaken this is her luck.

The rights of mortals are as fragile as castles made of sand in the eyes of gods and demons, which are beyond the world, which makes Alisa, who once almost died in the Golden Spike territory, deeply feel that she can cling to another god, and can get the guarantee of the gods to ensure that her family can survive this game between gods and demons, and the hard work and price paid now is not worth mentioning in Alisa's opinion.

"Ha~" Alisa exhaled deeply: "Actually~ at least for so long." You didn't use the power of Geass to control me, at least in that way I can really trust you. ”

"Oh~ How can you be so sure I haven't used Geass power on you?"

Alisa pointed at herself, "Isn't that a statement now, if you really use that power to control me." So would I be so hesitant to ask for your request now? Look at the spies and spies working here, I think they would do it right away if you wanted them to kill themselves right now. ”

Lelouch looked at Alisa with a smile, in fact, Lelouch wanted to tell her that it was not because of his goodness that he couldn't bear to use Grass on her, but because Geass itself was ineffective against her with a soul contract, otherwise a 100% obedient puppet would definitely be easier to manipulate than a person who still retains self-awareness.

"But it's a relief to see my mother, who hasn't been poisoned by the devil. Alyssa showed a sweet smile: "Actually, Your Excellency Lelouch I have been thinking about one thing┉┉"

"What?"

Gradually regaining her former vitality, Elisa sighed and said with a smile, "If I can convince my father to make our House of Westphalia vassals of that venerable deity in the Arnold Mountains." Will the old god Arin accept us?"

"It's a pity ~ it's impossible!"

"Hey┉┉Really?"

Lelouch's direct answer made Alisa a little discouraged.

"I'm not saying that I'm reluctant to accept you, but it's impossible for the Westphalians to become vassals of Ulduar in the first place. ”

"Why?" Alisa was a little puzzled: "Although our Westphalian family has a decisive force in the Bellamar Kingdom, and even has a place in the Free City, but after experiencing what happened in the Golden Spike Territory, I realized that as a mortal, both I and the entire Vestafalon family are too small. In the game between gods and demons, even the king of a country is just an insignificant piece on the chessboard, and he will be discarded at the critical moment. ”

Lelouch clapped his palms: "That's good~ But even if your Westphalian family becomes a vassal of Arin, only Arin is the only chess player in this chess game, and you are still just chess pieces, Alyssa, don't you think that after becoming a vassal and believer of the gods, you will be protected forever with peace of mind, right?"

Alisa shook her head and said firmly: "I used to be a believer in the goddess of light, although the teachings of the goddess are full of love and devotion to the world, but I always think that gods and mortals are interdependent beings, I will not expect the gods to protect mortals selflessly and gratuitously, and I will never believe in gods like a fanatical believer, as the daughter of a merchant family, my father taught me one thing when I was very young, the exchange of interests between each other is the cornerstone of strengthening the alliance." ”

"So ┉┉"

"Therefore, after we attach ourselves to the gods, the Westphalian family will try to make ourselves the most important chess piece in the hands of the gods, a chess piece that is enough to affect this chess game, only in this way will we not become outcasts and be abandoned prematurely in the chess game, and only in this way can our family retain a share of the fire in this grand game. ”

Elisa's words were crisp and powerful, in Lelussi's opinion, although she was still very young, but all the things that had happened in these days, especially when many of the things that the girl originally thought should be legends and myths appeared in front of her eyes were truly displayed in front of her eyes, the original narrow worldview was broken, and the ensuing clear and broad vision made the originally resolute Alisa continue to mature at an unimaginable speed, allowing her to look at problems beyond the eyes of worldly mortals and more as a superior person.

Bang Bang Bang!

Lelouch applauded Alisa's words and exclaimed sincerely: "I have to praise your courage and determination, you have the qualifications to become the head of the family Alisa, but you still have a shortcoming, ignoring one of the most important issues, your own identity!"

"My identity?" Alyssa was slightly stunned: "In my opinion, no matter what the identity of mortals is, in the eyes of the gods, I believe that even if it is my father, if he is in my current situation, he must have the idea of attaching to the gods, after all, whether it is fighting the right or in the noble family, once it is ruined, it is meaningless." ”

Stretching out a finger, Lelouch waved his hand: "I didn't mean this~ Alyssa." It's that you have forgotten your own other identity, have you forgotten your mother's identity?"

As soon as these words came out, Elisa couldn't help but pause, but then Elisa's expression suddenly became bitter, obviously the smart girl had understood the meaning of Leluxiu's words. (To be continued......)
