"Nanali, I'm going back to Japan."
In the study, an embarrassing silence began to brew between the siblings. In Lelouch's words, the word "want to return" is not "want to return", which means that he is not asking for his sister's opinion, but conveying some kind of decision.
After a long time, Nanali sounded with a hint of indifference: "Reason, I need a reason."
"The reunion of old classmates was organized by Xia Li." Lelouch showed a rare gentle smile, "Nanali, you are now the queen after all, it is not convenient for you to attend such an occasion, but I don't care. In fact, I also mentioned it. Gathering in Britannia, but Charlie said she still wanted to go back to campus with everyone."
"Xia Li, hehe, I'm about to forget the existence of this supporting role." Nanali sneered, "Brother, you have brainwashed all your 'friends', even so, you have to shamelessly disguise yourself as an ordinary student to get in there. Is it?"
When the two brothers and sisters were still in Japan, Lelouch, under the instruction of Nanali, decisively brainwashed all the friends around him. Thanks to the command of Nanali who came to the scene and the support of Lingos to build the house, there was no overturning situation along the way.
However, two years later, now that the great revenge has been avenged and the world is at peace, Lelouch is still haunted by what he did to his friends. Now that I think about it, his self-imposed ruthless methods are like playing a family in front of Nanali's real coldness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is indecisive.
"Yes, even so, I have to shamelessly disguise myself as an ordinary student." Lelouch could imagine his sister's sneer at the moment even if his eyes were pitch black. Even after so long, he still couldn't get used to his innocent and lovely sister. "Nature", "As Emperor of Britannia, you have the right to stop me."
"In other words, as a younger sister, I don't." Nanali smiled to herself, "Brother, don't you love me?"
"What nonsense, of course I love you, I love you more than anyone, I love you more than myself." Lelouch paused, "You are my most important sister, and I want you more than anyone else. get happiness."
"Then you should know—"
"I only recently heard from the maids that you were sick a while ago, but no one is allowed to visit." The voice just sounded, and Nanali's body suddenly became stiff, "Mr. Ironface said that you went out for a while for some reason before that. , was sent back hours later by a lunar MS, and came back very weak."
"Iron armored face...!" Nanali gritted her teeth and broke the pen in her hand, "I think he is impatient!"
"It has nothing to do with Mr. Tiejia Mian. I sensed something was wrong, and he was forced to tell me after struggling to ask." Lelouch explained quickly, "Nanali, I'm very worried about your condition. Can you tell me? What is my specific situation? Also, I don't want to hear a mouthful of lies from the mouth I love the most, if you can't tell me, say no."
"… … … … … … cannot."
"Sure enough, it was as I expected." Lelouch raised the corners of his mouth in relief, "I have been living in a dream that I am smarter than everyone else, my sister needs my protection, and so on, and I didn't wake up until I lost my eyes. , find that everything is just self-deception. Nanali, you are different from me, you are smarter than me, more decisive than me, more capable than me, I don't want you to repeat my mistakes and live in the carefully constructed for yourself. In the hypocritical dream. As the person who loves you the most, I hope you can be happy."
"It's not like that, brother, you don't know anything, so don't make any comments!" Nanali slammed the table and stood up, "My happiness is... just... After I finish my revenge... Then I can … Ok, Ok… "
Lelouch sighed and summoned the maid to help him leave. Nanali slumped weakly on the chair as if her strength had been drained from her body.
After a while, the thin girl took out the necklace hanging around her neck and stared at the blood-colored crystal hanging on the front of the necklace in silence. This thing was handed to her by Alice after she woke up that day, and Alice was clearly instructed to do so.
"The Womb Angel's S2 mechanism..." The bitter voice sounded faintly, "Don't leave the right to choose to me, it's too cunning..."
A rhythmic knock on the door woke Nanali from her contemplation, and she hurriedly sat up straight and put on a majestic look. After getting her consent, Marina, dressed as a maid, tiptoed into the study: "Your Majesty, Mr. Iron Man is asking to see you."
"He even has the face to ask to see him?!" Nanali's wrists trembled slightly with anger, "Let him come over!"
After a while, the maid took the armored face and bowed away. The latter saluted gracefully, looking as high-spirited and personable as ever, without the slightest sense of being a prisoner.
"After the great achievement of finding the first plane, you started to get carried away and feel that you can do whatever you want?" Nanali's overwhelming icy malice spread to the opposite side along the perception, "There are some things that you can't interfere with, I really don't dare to kill you. you?"
"Is Your Majesty talking about His Highness Lelouch? I admit that I took advantage of his brotherly love and curiosity, and revealed some of the facts to him." Iron Armor smiled confidently, "But I was just In order to prove one of my views - people who are caught in a black hole will become twisted without knowing it, until they are destroyed in the twist. Of course, Your Majesty, you can kill me to prove the correctness of my view."
Nanali subconsciously wanted to say something to refute, but somehow she couldn't respond to the topic raised by the armored face. Since she conquered the Iron Armor Face, this is the first time that the other party has the upper hand in words.
"Put away your nonsense, it doesn't mean anything to me. For the sake of the first machine, don't blame me for being ruthless next time." Nanali changed the topic sternly, "I recently Knowing an interesting thing, Brett Noah secretly took care of his mistress and even gave birth to a son without telling his wife and two children. Iron face, in your opinion, how can we maximize the use of this information ?"
"That honest man Bright would do such a thing?" Tiejia was dumbfounded, "Dare to ask the identity of His Majesty's mistress?"
"Noah protected her very well. The intelligence department only heard about the woman's surname. I remember it was called..." Nanali finally regained the feeling of being in control of everything before, and a playful smile appeared on her face, "Mi Mi Greg."
Iron Armor stood for a moment, and suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I would like to serve His Majesty."
"Don't worry, Britannia will still have a lot of use for your talents in the future." Nanali supported her with one hand and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Tell me, what do you have to do with me?"
"It's like this, a federal member named Mezia Rona contacted me through various channels, and expressed great goodwill to our country, hoping to deepen cooperation with Britannia in private. "Iron Armor looked at the ground with fear and sincerity." After my investigation, this person was once a die-hard soldier, and later became the only survivor in the Kilimanjaro tragedy. He was lucky, ambitious, and capable. ."
"Let's try to contact him first, even if we reject him, we will find someone else, it's better to keep it in our hands." A cold light flashed in Nanali's eyes, "Mr. Lingos is doing something very important, absolutely Don't let these juniors mess with him behind his back."
"As Your Majesty said, next week will be the opening ceremony of the planetary transformation project." A sarcastic smile appeared under the mask, "By the way, Your Majesty, Queen Diana has invited dignitaries from all walks of life to watch the ceremony, and the Moon hopes that we can Provide a list of delegations to prepare in advance, the Prime Minister asked me to ask His Majesty what he meant."
"Let Schneizer make arrangements for himself," Nanali's eyes flickered, "You don't have to go too much."
"Yes, I will tell the truth." Tiejia Miantu said in a humble way, "Your Majesty, are you going?"
"...No." Nanali subconsciously covered the pendant on her chest, "I, no, I won't go."
"Then I'll report back to the Prime Minister." Tiejiamian got up and left after receiving the order, but suddenly stopped when he was about to reach the door, "Your Majesty, please allow me to sincerely praise you, your level of self-deception is amazing, and Lingus is comparable."
…
On the day of the opening ceremony of the planetary transformation project, dignitaries from all walks of life from the three kingdoms of Earth, Moon and Guard gathered on the moon. Political leaders such as Speaker Harman and Prime Minister Mathenas, military leaders such as Commander Brett Noah, and heads of family consortia such as Bist and Halevi attended the ceremony.
In propaganda aimed at ordinary people, the satellite will be transformed into an armed fortress, as humanity's last line of defense against aliens. After all, things like apostles have also appeared in the eyes of the public. This statement is relatively acceptable, but only a small group of people at the top can understand the real situation.
It is now the spring of UC0089 and the work is expected to be completed in UC0096. In the past few years, all countries in the world will put aside their differences under the coordination of chief designer Adrian Lingos, and work together for the sake of a community with a shared future for mankind.
In order to ensure the safe and smooth progress of the project, Ed and Bright worked together in private to form a new temporary independent unit. Anaheim took out the cutting-edge MS for its equipment, and all countries also sent elites to join it.
The ceremony had just begun, and Queen Diana, Prime Minister Macenas and Speaker Kahn took the stage to deliver speeches in turn. Backstage, Ed was chatting with Amuro and Kim Karam, who had to come on stage later.
Ed hadn't seen the list of personnel in each country beforehand, but he was very sure at this moment that not a single NT from Britannia had come. After being reborn, Ed didn't say a word to her. He didn't even know whether his current biological mother was Mariana or another, so Her Majesty's absence made him relieved... Right
"Sure enough, warriors still have to die on the battlefield." Jin Karam held the hilt of the samurai sword hanging from his waist, and said in a deep voice, "I really hope that terrorists will come to destroy every day, so I can kill them happily. "
"General, you are really old and strong." Amuro looked a little strange at Ed's daze, but it was inconvenient to ask in front of Jin Karam, "I hope I don't hold back then."
"Be humble, you are also very good." Jin Karam patted Amuro's back hard, "Bright is too stingy, so he gave you a lieutenant colonel. I want to say that such an important task is an exceptional promotion. The Colonel is no exaggeration."
"This is not up to him alone. In the army..." Amuro gave Ed a worried look, "It's just that he may have to be stationed in the universe for a long time, Adrian, what do you think?"
"Ah? Oh, it must be a rotating duty. Do you think I look like a black-hearted farmer?" Ed put on a frightened and exaggerated look to cover up, "I can't afford to kill my sister-in-law."
Amuro was in a coma in bed for a long time after the incident of the Night Angel, and after waking up, he was forced to marry by Beto Tiga, who had been frightened all the time. Obviously, he did not have the qualifications and courage to refuse.
"Are you still in the mood to joke with me, Adrian, you are the one who should think clearly about how to allocate your time." Amuro laughed maliciously, "If Villkiss comes to the construction site and asks me for help But you can't beat it, you can do it yourself."
"Well, I'm sorry to disturb you, is Dr. Lingos here?" The three who were interrupted from chatting looked at the sound, and saw a beautiful woman with twin ponytails in sight.
"At least don't die before the project is over. There are eight years left. Perseverance is victory." Amuro supported Ed's shoulder with a heavy heart, "General, let's go ahead and wait."
Jin Karam grinned gleefully and followed Amuro away.
"That, Miss Wang? Is there something wrong?" Ed looked around reflexively.
"Okay, don't look for it, your blond bodyguard with ferocious eyes is guarding outside. I came in through another way." Wang Liumei put her hands behind her back, and the curve tightly wrapped in the cheongsam swayed slightly from side to side happily." I never dreamed that my three wishes would come true, so I wanted to come and thank you in person."
"So that's how it is." Hearing that An Qi was not in Eddie, he immediately relaxed, and then said sternly, "Strictly speaking, only the last wish was fulfilled by me. The first two depended on you, so don't be too much. It's arrogant."
"Forget this kind of self-deception, am I that stupid in your eyes?" Wang Liumei tiptoed to his ear, her long ponytails rubbed her neck, "I will stay in the future more often. There is no time to go home on the satellite, are you interested in developing a long-term gun friend? Get what you need, and don’t get involved in your family’s troubles.”
"Ed." Before he could answer, a cold voice sounded behind him, "Can you introduce me to this one?"
"His Royal Highness Luo, Luo, Luo-Roland!" Ed staggered back two steps in a panic to maintain his balance, "Ahem, Your Royal Highness, this is Miss Wang Liumei, the head of the Wang family. The Wang family is the project for this project. One of the largest funders, Ms. Wang herself has had several private collaborations with me before, and she is very trustworthy—"
"Oh, what about a 'private' collaboration?" Laura interrupted him with a smile, "Would you mind telling me what a private collaboration is?"
Wang Rumi quickly stuck out her tongue behind Roland's back, left a sentence in Ed's ear, "Let's talk next time", and turned around decisively and ran away.
"It's not what you think!" Ed was sweating profusely in an instant, "Listen to my explanation!"
"Why should I listen to your explanation? We have nothing to do with each other." The smile disappeared in an instant, and Lola raised her face expressionlessly, "Diana wants to see you, come to my house this weekend."
Ed changed from sweating profusely to raining down: "Well, can you reveal what Her Majesty is looking for from me?"
"What have you done? Go and explain to her yourself." Laura couldn't help but softened when she saw Ed's pitiful look, "Okay, okay, we will work hard together. There will always be a way, I can still It doesn't matter if you don't succeed? When you take the stage, hurry up and go."
In this way, Ed was pushed and pulled onto the stage by Laura, and his mind was still a mess. Fortunately, he memorized the lines thoroughly beforehand, so as not to be embarrassed in the live broadcast that people all over the world are paying attention to.
Soon the speech was coming to an end, and it was finally time to announce the official name of the project, and naming it was the exclusive honor of Edcai as the chief architect of the project.
"In honor of the one who gave me my soul, in honor of the one who gave me life, I call it after its ring-shaped image—" Ed closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "The Wheel of Angels."
