"It can't be!"

Lakshata's eyes widened, and Jeremia, Veretta, Joan Rowe, Gino, and Audline Fengze stood up in shock, only Aniah, Monica, and Orpheus Fengze looked at the others suspiciously, not knowing what Yang Hui's reward meant.

"Do I dare to joke about such a thing?" Yang Hui spread his hands and looked at them with a smile on his face, "And what good is it for me that I lie to you?" ”

“…… But His Royal Highness Yang Hui, you are in the hands of His Majesty, and His Majesty cannot agree to it. "Jeremia, as the only nobleman present who inherited the title, knows the best about the upper echelons of the empire, which is simply impossible.

"It only shows that you don't understand his old man's self-confidence and conceit."

"This ......"

"Well, this is already a fait accompli, the official order will come down soon, and there is no point in arguing now."

“…… Yes，your highness.”

"As for why you summoned a few of you ......" As he spoke, Yang Hui looked around at everyone present, and the corners of his mouth curled, "...... This unit is my Knights, would you like to be a member of my Order? ”

"This! Yes，your highness！ ”

Veretta and Joan Luo didn't have any thought or hesitation, and immediately took one knee and swore allegiance to Yang Hui, they are both outstanding students of the Royal Military Academy, yes, but they were both born in small families and are marginal figures in the aristocratic circle.

If it was before, they would definitely not look down on [Nanny Prince] Yang Hui, but after hearing about his glorious deeds in Africa, they would never be able to refuse Yang Hui's solicitation, and now that they have obtained the privilege, it is equivalent to a share of the emperor's power, and now is still the time to start, and the future is definitely open.

“Yes，your highness.” Next are Gino, Orpheus Vonzer, and Monica Kurushevsky, who have no other choice, one is a side branch neglected by the family, the other is an orphan abandoned by the family, and the other is the illegitimate daughter of the emperor who has no one to care about, their own ideas are not important, and even if they do not want to, they have no right to refuse.

Then there is Aniah, she did not answer with words, but bowed with the three of them, she is still in the stage of being infiltrated by Mariana's soul just now, her brain consciousness is not very clear, and she doesn't even have a memory of the past, so she can only do it.

"Little ...... Eh, Fourth Highness, can I ask, what are you looking for me for? You're looking for a knight, I'm just a helpless doctor. Lakshata asked.

"Of course it's Knightmare, Lakshata, I've read your thesis, it's excellent, if it weren't for your youth and seniority, you would have taken over the Knightmare development department of the empire by now, as the pace of war accelerates, a new round of military competition will kick off, and the fourth-generation Knightmare Glasgow can still maintain a certain lead, but ...... And only a little bit.

My Knights will be the sharpest sword, the strongest enemies they will face, the most difficult missions they will perform, and the most severe battlefields they will go to, but I don't want my people to die on the battlefield because of equipment problems, so the new generation of powerful Knightmare must be on the agenda. ”

"I can understand it as...... I'm in charge of the Knights' special mech, right? The corners of Lakxiata's mouth curled, she was a genius, naturally she wouldn't ask stupid useless questions, she had already guessed what Yang Hui had asked her to do, she just wanted to talk about the conditions.

"You, and Lloyd Asplinder."

Hearing this, Laxarta's face sank, and she got up to leave, before Yang Hui sent someone to find her, she was about to leave the empire because of a conflict with Lloyd's philosophy, and now there was a new choice in front of her, enough to support her to defeat her old opponent, but she was told that she still had to work with Lloyd, and she couldn't accept it.

"What? Do you want to run away again? ”

"What did you say!?" When Lakshata was about to stagger past Yang Hui, Yang Hui's ridicule made her furious.

"Isn't it?" Yang Hui spread out his hand, with a playful and disdainful smile on his face, "The conflict between you and Sir Lloyd is just a discord of ideas, and no one can convince anyone, but you didn't choose to defeat him with excellent results, but chose to leave, this is not an escape, what is it?" ”

"You ......"

"Leave, continue to escape, it means that my vision is wrong, you are just a coward; Stay, compete with him, and prove that you are better than him. ”

Lakxiata trembled with anger, but Yang Hui's words echoed in her ears like a demon's whisper, but she couldn't leave in anger, that is, she was avoiding, that is, admitting that she was inferior to the other party.

Stay, fight the other party head-on, and prove that you are excellent, but you don't want to see the other person's face.

What to do? How to choose?

The others held their breath, and Yang Hui waited for Lakshata's choice with a smile on his face.

After a few minutes, Lakshata closed her eyes and suddenly opened them to look at Yang Hui: "You'll give me enough research space and treatment, right?" ”

The reason why Lakshata chose to leave, in addition to the conflict, is also her identity, she is not a native of Bunitalia, so she was ostracized and discriminated against in the institute, no matter how good her ability is, the empire can't give her fair treatment, so that her ambitions have nowhere to show, so that she has no platform to compete with Lloyd.

"Of course." Yang Hui knew that he had become, "I'm not a group of idiots from the pure-blooded faction, excellent talents are a fortune no matter where they are, you will get exactly the same treatment and support as him, this is the stage I provide for you." ”

“……”

"Of course, this is just the beginning, with the results of each of you, I will adjust your respective status and treatment, and the position of the head of the R&D department is only one."

"Huh." Lakshata sneered, but her eyes contained a confident glow, "Really? Then this position, I'm going to decide! ”

"So...... Your answer? Yang Hui did not hold high to demand that Lakshata submit, but extended his hand to her.

Lakshata shook it and gave her answer: "Happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Lakshata has done it, and the rest is only Jeremia who has not yet given Yang Hui an answer, and Yang Hui also knows what Jeremia is struggling with, so he ......

"Go down first, Rejeta, arrange for them, and in two days I'll tell them what to do, and Jeremia stays."

“Yes，your highness.”

The others left separately, leaving Yang Hui and Jeremiah alone in the living room.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, forgive me for not accepting your invitation." After everyone was gone, Jeremia said his answer, which was also to protect Yang Hui's face, after all, directly rejecting Yang Hui in front of others was slapping Yang Hui's face.

"Is it because of Princess Mariana?" Yang Hui sat down and asked him directly.

“…… Yes. "Jeremia was a knight of Mariana and a very loyal man, and after Mariana married Charles Brown. DI Bunitalia, after quitting the Knights of the Round Table, he was also Mariana's retainer, and gave all his allegiance to Mariana, and now that Mariana is "dead", then his allegiance becomes Lelouch and Nanali.

"You know my relationship with Lelouch and Nanali, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know where Lelouch and Nanali are now?"

"Yes, I know."

"But you're still sticking to your choice?"

"Yes."

"So...... Jeremia Qing, I'm now in the name of Hui · The identity of Y. Burnitalia ordered ......"

Hearing this, Jeremia was startled, and immediately knelt down on one knee and waited for Yang Hui's order If he was asking for his opinion before, then now he was ordering him as a royal family, and he had to listen.

“…… Jeremia Goldbard, immediately became my apprentice knight, joined my order, and three years later, fulfilled my requirements and became Nanali's exclusive knight, guarding Nanali's side. ”

"His Highness Yang Hui!" Jeremiah raised her head in surprise and looked at Yang Hui in disbelief.

Hearing the first half, his heart was cold, because Yang Hui did not intend to fulfill his loyalty, and wanted to force him to be loyal to Yang Hui as a royal family.

But in the second half, it was to fulfill him and make him Yang Hui's apprentice knight, just because Yang Hui thought that his skills were not enough to protect Lelouch and Nanali.

"Your loyalty deserves recognition, but your ability does not match your loyalty, follow me for the past three years, and I will make you a qualified guardian."

“…… May I ask Your Highness, why is it a knight of His Highness Nanali and not a knight of His Highness Lelouch? ”

"Lelouch I have other arrangements, he is different from Nanali, he has his own way to go."

"His Highness Nalusuu and His Highness Nanali are ...... now"

"I've arranged it all, don't worry about their safety."

"I see, I was rude, Your Highness Yang Hui."

"It's okay, let's go down first, have a good rest in the past two days, and when the emperor's order is officially issued, everything is ready, and if you want to rest again, it will be difficult."

"I will live up to His Highness's expectations!"

"Well, let's go down."

“Yes，your highness.”

After Jeremia left, Yang Hui didn't stay long, but came to the study and began to formulate a plan for the formation of the Knights, as well as the training plan for these people, Jeremia, Veretta, and Joan Luo only need to follow the previous routine, and there is no need for specific arrangements, but the others have to think about it, they are still children, including school, training or something, and they need to make a detailed training plan.

"Well, their situation is different, they can't follow the route I set for her, you need to think about it, but...... I don't know what happened to that girl, it seems that I haven't contacted her for a while, and I'll be scolded, right? Thinking of this, Yang Hui shook his head with a wry smile.

It was at this time that Regeni Rejetta returned.

"Mr. Yang Hui, everything has been arranged."

"Well, you can also rest for the next two days, wait for ......"

"I'm afraid not, Mr. Yang Hui."

"What's wrong?" Yang Hui's gaze became staring, and his temperament became thick.

"Clovis has sent you an invitation to the afternoon exhibition and tonight's dinner."

"Clovis? This guy ......" Thinking of his cheap brother, Yang Hui shook his head, "...... Okay, I know, reply to him, I'll be on time. ”
