Chapter Twenty-Six: The Knight
Ashford.
This name Wu is not unfamiliar, it has appeared a few times in Clovis's memory, although it is a long memory, but it is relatively well preserved, perhaps for him, that childhood time is the most worth remembering.
Lelouch's mother, Princess Mariana, was once the Sixth Knight of the Round Table in the Empire, the strongest person known as "The Flash", and even now that she is gone, many people in the army still have respect for her existence.
As the Ashford family supported by Princess Mariana, it was once glorious in the aristocratic circle of the empire, and its prestige could even be compared with the old famous families of the empire, until the death of the princess, and now it is reduced to the point that she can't even keep the title, and is forced to move from the imperial capital to this 11th district to struggle.
When he was young, Clovis liked to go to the Aries Palace, where the princess was, to play chess with Lelouch, and as a supporter of the princess, the Ashford family often let the children of the family visit the palace.
Mirey Ashford, I think it's called that, the heir of the Ashford family, a girl who once had several encounters with Clovis at the Aries Palace.
I'm bored enough to pass the time in a daze. Seeing the neatly dressed Wu Ye walking in front of him, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want to go out?" β
You must know that Takeya, who is very uninterested in the prince's clothes, will always change back to his original clothes in the room.
"Well, are you going to go along?" Wu also didn't think much about it. An invitation was issued: "If you're worried about identity, I have a solution." β
"Oh? What's your new trick again? Asked with a little interest.
"Cognitive hindrance," Takeya explained, "I can make everyone who knows you have the illusion that 'this person isn't.'" when they see you. β
"Oh~ That's an interesting ability." Rare from. Hearing the words of praise in her mouth, she finally felt impatient to think about the days she had been stuffed in the Governor's Palace.
"So, where do you want to go?", he got up and asked casually.
Wu also had no need to hide it from her, and said bluntly: "Ashford family." β
"Huh?", his expression froze slightly, and he raised his head to look at Takeya: "Why the Ashford family?" β
Although I don't understand what's so special about the Ashford family, I can make someone who has always been indifferent to external things. With such an expression, Takeya still honestly said his original intention: "For the study of Kightmare." β
There seemed to be a wonderful gap in the expression of "......", and her gaze at Takeya changed from initial surprise to now speechlessness.
"Hey, what's that look at you?" Takeya felt as if he was secretly despised.
"No," he reverted to his willful look, and his playful laughter was mixed with some inexplicable playfulness: "It's just that why chose Ashford, I think the only one in his house that could be used as research material was the Gaiminid." β
"You know?" Wu Ye was slightly surprised.
"I know what's so strange," he said, deliberately avoiding the topic of himself, arranging his messy hair in front of the mirror, "it's a heretical body that was abandoned after Mariana's death." β
"You still know Mariana......
I couldn't help but sigh that the water of the royal family was really deep, but Wu Ye was relieved when he thought about it, as an immortal witch, it is not strange to know what kind of people he knows.
However, the content of the other party's words made him care a little: "What do you mean by heretical organism?" β
"Literally, Mariana had supported the development of a fourth-generation mech based on the third generation of Geminids, but it failed, partly because the Ashford family lost their shelter after her death, and more because of the problems of the mech itself."
He chuckled and said, "If the next generation of mechs is studied according to the model of Geminid, then the standard for pilots will be greatly raised. β
β...... So it's scrapped not because it's not strong enough, but because it's too powerful? This result was a bit of a surprise to Wu Ye.
"That's not right, Gamini has to be able to be used by a woman like Mariana, so you can imagine what the next generation of mechs led by her will look like."
As he spoke, he glanced at Takeya and said with a smile: "I see, you want your subordinates to have the same combat power as Lancelot, right?" β
"That's right." It was seen that there was nothing to avoid, and Wu also admitted it directly.
"It's impossible," he poured cold water on him: "Even if you can really develop a new body, it's useless to have no pilot." β
"Of course I know that."
Although Takeya inherited the memory of the third prince, even this prince who was not interested in military affairs knew that a pilot of the level of the Knight of the Round Table was not a potato, and he could find it wherever he wanted to.
Therefore, Takeya's purpose was not to simply develop Kightmare in the first place.
"Now that you know, why do you have to do that kind of useless work." I don't think Wu Ye is bored to this extent.
"How can it be said that it is useless, yesterday when Bartley went to collect information about the Ashford family, I saw an interesting piece of information."
Wu Ye took out a copy from the stack of documents on the table and handed it over: "Earl Lloyd, the Ashford family intends to arrange for his family's only daughter to go on a blind date with him, the key is that the other party doesn't seem to have the intention of refusing, and he looks very interested. β
"That doctor," she naturally knew who the other party was talking about, she just narrowed her eyes and said, "Although he is a strange person immersed in his own world, he has a whole earl's family behind him, and he will not fall to you from the side of Schunezel because of such a small matter." β
"I wasn't naΓ―ve enough to that point, I just stumbled upon this information," Takeya shrugged: "My original intention was to support the Ashford family, at the cost of Kightmare's research and development materials, as for the use, you are right, the pilot is the most important, since there is no way to train yourself, then find a ready-made one." β
At this point, I finally understood all of Takeya's thoughts: "You want to win over the Knights of the Round Table?" β
"That's right."
The twelve Knights of the Round Table of the Empire were nominally knights directly under the emperor, but because the emperor himself advocated struggle, the adult princes and princesses set up their own courts, and it was not only the nobles who went to seek refuge for a future investment, but also these Knights of the Round Table.
Except for the first knight who commanded the Imperial Guard's army and the second knight who was in charge of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau, the remaining Knights of the Round Table were temporarily neutral, and some had defected to a certain prince, and the emperor never cared about these.
"It's not easy to do either one." Looking at the information of the Knight of the Round Table in his hand, Takeshi sighed in distress, and then threw the document on the table.
"Anyway, let's solve the problem of the Ashford family first."
