July 3, 10 pm

"Sister Cornelia, why do you look a little unhappy today?" Nanali was walking in the park accompanied by Sakiko, while Cornelia, wearing a work uniform, chatted with her.

"Nanali, do you need a knight to protect you?" Cornelia suddenly asked, "After all, your physical condition is really... necessary?"

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

"That physique of Lelouch..." I don't know how she raised it. Although Princess Marianna loves her children very much, she at least has to help Lelouch with some physical exercise. His physical and athletic ability is really bad. Anyway, she has never seen a boy who can lose even when racing against a frog.

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

(Protect?..Is it all because of Euphemia this time?) Cornelia sighed in her heart. Her sister is indeed not suitable for doing anything outside of her country. At least there is an emperor and brother in charge in her country. Now, once she runs out, she is simply crazy. You must know that each royal family can only have one guardian knight, which is the only person who can approach and kill the royal family. Moreover, for Britalia, who has serious competition for the throne, the guardian knight's military achievements will become their military achievements. For example, she and Guildford are exceptions, because as a Valkyrie, her military achievements are far superior to Guildford, so Guildford's role is only a deputy. She is the same as the second prince Shunazel. His guardian knight is used to organize documents and she is used to be an adjutant. They are all because they are too strong and no one can catch up with them.

"Sister Cornelia, you are here today because you are worried, right?" Nanali's words woke her up from her thoughts.

"Things to worry? I don't..."

"My brother often says that there are actually many things I can see. Prince Cornelia is often silent because she wants to tell Nanali because she has something, right?"

"...Nanalie, I'm going to go back to my country soon. Britain has begun to put pressure on Britalia. I want to go back as a deterrent." Cornelia's expression was a little sad. "Then Euphemia wants to stay here."

"This kind of thing shouldn't be sad." Nanali didn't understand what Cornelia meant.

"...Nanali, I plan to bring you back together, and Lelouch stays here to assist Euphemia first. I will send Lelouch away after I come back in a few days." Cornelia bit her lip and finally said, "How is it? Do you want to go back to Britalia with the Emperor's Sister?"

"Yes" so refreshing that even Cornelia was surprised

"Nanali? Have you really decided?" Cornelia thought she didn't hear it clearly, so she repeated it again. "I mean I want you to go back to Britalia with me."

"Well, I don't know what my brother is thinking, but if my brother agrees, I will agree." Nanali smiled and nodded, "No problem."

"Nanali..." Cornelia couldn't help feeling relieved. Since Nanali, who was poisoned by that incident, would agree that Lallucio would not have any complaints. In this case, she would also have the face to go to the tomb of Princess Marianna.

However, she is still judging others based on her own ideas, which is enough to make the situation worse and worse

"What...? Go back to Britalia?" I heard this from Sakiko when Lelouch came home in the afternoon.

"Yes, I heard that His Highness Cornelia has arranged most of the situation, and I am just waiting for Young Master Lelouch to take you over after the exam." Sakiko nodded, "Miss Nanali seems very happy, too."

"Nanali is very happy?" Lelouch was a little surprised. Why? She is not without friends here.

"...Okay, I understand, you go and rest." After receiving the affirmative reply, Lelouch waved to support Sakiko away after receiving the affirmative reply.

"Conelia! Do you think we will be happy like this?! You culprits are just looking for psychological comfort now!" Lelouch gritted his teeth in the empty bathroom and roared, forcing his so-called kindness to us? Do you regard us as toys of the empire?

"Since that's the case..." Lelouch took off the student uniform with a cold face, and then pulled out two clothes from the changing clothes.

After a moment

"Have you brother not come yet?" Nanali, who had been waiting at the dining table for a long time, said in surprise, "What are brothers doing in the bathroom?"

"Wait for me to see it." Sakiko walked quickly in, and then came back immediately. "Miss Nanali, Master Lelouch seems to have been stained with something, and is taking a shower now."

"The clothes are thrown away again, really," Nanali said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll clean up now"

"Nanalie... isn't Lelouch here?" Connelia, who said she left at night, came to the student dormitory again for some reason.

"It seems that I'm taking a shower because I'm getting dirty."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait, I'm leaving soon." Cornelia sat upright on the sofa. Lorouch just called and said that there was an urgent matter to find her, so she could only order others to stay at the airport first.

(Cornelia can only be dragged in the dormitory for an hour by me, but in fact, it is enough to hold on until I meet Karen and the others) Lelouch quickly moved around the street, wearing the drama costume like an actor (in order to escort Cornelia to board the plane safely, there must be no defense in the current embassy. I have confirmed by the second call that Euphemia is still staying inside and not leaving, so...)

"zero, are you planning to use us now?" When we arrived at the scheduled location, Karen and Fujido Jingzhiran were all here.

"The time is urgent now, so I will only say it once. This time we are going to raid the Embassy of Britalia. Cornelia is about to return home, so she transferred almost all the confidants in the embassy. All we have to do is to take Euphemia, who temporarily took over her position as the governor of District 11, and she said that she would take away her."

"Plan to do this directly?"

"There is no time, agree or object!"

"...I understand." Kalian was the first to nod

"...I have no objection, although it's not good, it's a good idea." Fujido Jingshiro also nodded in agreement with this plan, and the "Four Saint Swords" behind him could only agree.

"Then set off now!"

"yes!"

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Suhu Bird, I feel a little uneasy," Euphemia said softly.

"I know His Highness Princess. After all, His Highness Cornelia suddenly handed over this burden to you and Lelouch, it's really a bit too anxious." Suzaku stood aside and said, "But I believe His Highness Euphemia can..."

"It's not the reason, Suzaku, I'm thinking about other things." Euphemia shook her head, "It's Lelouch's business."

"What happened to Lelouch?" Zhuque said in surprise.

"Well, Lelouch is the prince of Britalia, but he came to Japan for some reasons, and he had experienced some changes in the middle... I hope to get Lelouch and Nanali back to Britalia."

"This is a good idea." Zhuque was sincerely happy for his friend's fate. He had never considered Lelouch's idea. In their subconscious mind, Lelouch was regarded as a prince, but he never thought that this prince was born for revenge. "Lelouch would definitely be happy."

"Is this really the case...?" However, Euphemia was always a little nervous because she noticed something and something very important.

"His Highness Euphemia, I think...."

"Who!" Suzaku, who was about to persuade Euphemia, suddenly heard something coming from outside.

"Bang!" Then the embassy window seemed to be smashed. Although the sound came from behind, it was also a very disrespectful act.

"Who!" Zhuque rushed to the office door immediately

"!" However, the other party's speed was faster than him. When Zhuque first came to his senses, the door of the office had been knocked open. He fell heavily on the ground due to the reaction force.

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

"Stop kidding!" Zhuque tilted his head and rolled to the side. Then when the other party wanted to shoot, he kicked the gun to the ground with one kick.

"It's worthy of being His Highness Euphemia's knight, Shumu Suzaku, but unfortunately you are not fighting alone." Just as he had already knocked someone down with a heavy punch, a man's voice came from behind him.

“...Is the sound of glass shattering in the backyard a trap?”

"Of course, I don't have that courage to break glass on this street yet. It's just a false voice made by indoor radio." The man wearing a mask was pointing his pistol at Euphemia's head. "And I landed from the ceiling, just the moment they knocked open the door, can I be obedient now?"

"..." So Zhuque could only be tied up in front of Euphemia.

"Is the driver of Lancelot?" One of them muttered after seeing the name tag on his chest, because there was a label saying that he was driving the Lancelot, which represented his honor

"Mr. Zero of the Black Knights is right?" Euphemia asked after looking at Suzaku being tied up.

"That's right, Your Highness Euphemia, I want to come and invite you to go with us."

"Of course, but please let go of my knight Shumu Suzaku"

"Of course it's OK to wait until we're far away," so the two of them walked out the door step by step

"His Highness Euphemia!"

"Don't make a noise!" Someone immediately came to the back of his neck, but he didn't fall into a coma immediately

"I'll do it" one of the women raised the butt and smashed it at him, so even he couldn't stand the pain and fainted on the ground

"You guys clean the scene first, I'll talk to her alone" Zero said

"But.."

"I understand," Fujido Jingshiro replied first, so zero took Euphemia to the outside of the embassy

"Mr. Zero, you should know that this is useless." Euphemia followed her into the alleyway. "You must have something to ask me, right?"

"I am worthy of being His Royal Highness, I want to use you to threaten Britalia's retreat"

"I guess you know that this is impossible, Britalia does not lack a princess like me." At this time, Euphemia was already the princess of Britalia. "I will not agree, either."

"So Your Highness Euphemia, do you really think that you can make peace between the two countries by some actions?" Zero said coldly. "What do you want to do to stimulate the current situation?"

"A country's fundamental approach is the best. I hope Mr. Zero, you can answer this question first, what can you do?" Euphemia said seriously, "Can you really accomplish something with the wrong method of war? Even the results that can be obtained are wrong."

"What exactly is wrong? Is your so-called peace the only means?"

“Yes, only from the inside can one change a country”

“I am also changing a country from within”

"No, Mr. Zero, you are the people, and it is impossible for the people to do anything," Euphemia said loudly, "Reform is also the right of the superiors after all. I hope you can understand that you are not reform but subversion."

"The superior...are the superior only choose the guy who is most beneficial to him?" Zero said coldly, "How could such a person do anything?"

"Maybe you have any misunderstandings about them, I can only tell Mr. Zero you a truth. Ambitions cannot change anything. You are just bound by victory. People with real abilities need people to command even as grassroots people, and zero cannot become a banner." Euphemia said seriously, "The flag has already floated in the sky, I hope you understand this."

"His Highness Euphemia, do you only bless others with your sense of self-awareness?" Zero sneered. "If you say zero cannot become a banner, then are you enough to satisfy people?"

"That's true, neither of us has the ability to solve problems perfectly. Britalia is a country and cannot take care of the small number of people. The Black Knights are the people and cannot stabilize a large-scale country. At this time, what we need should be cooperation." Euphemia and Zero's eyes looked at each other under the mask. "Please cooperate with us. You will provide us with the ideas of people in the 11 districts, and we will make the most correct measures based on our ideas."

"Only unity is the best way to point to the future. Even if you are said to be naive, you will succeed."

postscript

"...Euphemia said this to me, and I don't know how to answer," Lelouch sat on the edge of the bed and whispered. "Is her approach wrong? Not that this is the best measure that can be done as a person. No one can sacrifice his victory without relying on war. I should agree."
