Lelouch didn't know what kind of ability Xiao Ran's geass was, but he was not surprised that Xiao Ran was able to release the power of geass. At this time, even the cc that could give others geass ability was held in Xiao Ran's hand, thinking Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Xiao Ran obtained the power of geass.
Therefore, I have some doubts and affirmations about what Xiao Ran said about Shumu Suzaku choosing to leave even if he wakes up. The doubts are directed at Xiao Ran. I don't know how true what Xiao Ran said is, including Xiao Ran's doubts about his ability. Description, but it is definitely aimed at Shumu Suzaku. If this idiot can really maintain his sanity, he will definitely choose to escape and return to the Butalia Empire.
But Xiao Ran didn't have any reason to refuse Shumu Suzaku's arrangement, even if Shumu Suzaku was his friend, so he could only wipe the blood off Shumu Suzaku's face in person, and then looked at Shumu Suzaku. Mu Zhuque was taken away by Xiao Ran.
While watching Xiao Ran and Shumu Suzaku leave, Lelouch took off the mask and put it back on. He just watched Xiao Ran's back slowly disappear while effortlessly lifting Shumu Suzaku's waist clothes. There was also a slight smile under the mask. He frowned: "The power of geass is the power to force others to be loyal without changing their personality and way of thinking. Such a power... How could there be such a power?"
Of course Lelouch doesn't know why there is this special geass ability that feels very strange and very cheating. In fact, his own ability to force others to complete orders is also a kind of cheating. One is a short-term coercive type. The other is the long-term influence type. In Lelouch's view, Xiao Ran's ability is obviously more suitable to become a true king than the ability he currently possesses. If he gets such ability, he may also choose Return to the Butalia Empire and use another method to destroy the distortion of the current empire.
On Xiao Ran's side, after taking Shumu Suzaku back to the city, he didn't waste much time and threw Shumu Suzaku, who was still in a coma, outside the gate of the military court. There was no patrol until a few minutes after Xiao Ran left. The Imperial soldiers found Shumu Suzaku lying unconscious on the ground, then sounded the alarm and brought Shumu Suzaku into the military court as soon as possible.
And how Shumu Suzaku will be treated next. Although Xiao Ran really wants to say it's none of my business, but when he thinks that the person was brought out from before Lelouch's eyes, there will be many places that need to be used by Lelouch. Xiu, so he suppressed his temper and sneaked into the court, quietly paying attention to Shumu Suzaku's situation.
Seeing Shumu Suzaku being woken up by the Imperial Army, a doctor came to examine him, and then there was management questioning, but this process was not so friendly. While Shumu Suzaku was being questioned, There were many times when he wanted to say something, but each time he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his throat. But during the whole process, Shumu Suzaku was actually completely confused and had no idea what was going on. What, why did I appear in the prison of the empire again
Although Lelouch was indeed the murderer of Kurovis, and also revealed Zero's identity in front of Shumu Suzaku, and chose a different path from him, Lelouch was his friend after all, and then After all, he chose to rescue him from the Imperial Army at his own risk. At least for now, Shumu Suzaku could not really betray his friend.
The second reason is because of Xiao Ran. Every time Shumu Zhuque wants to say something, he always seems to see a tall and majestic figure staring at him, preventing him from telling what he knows. Although he didn't want to betray Lelouch, but for the other 'Lelouch', Xiao Ran, although he wanted to remind the empire that a dangerous man wearing sunglasses appeared, he couldn't express what was in his heart. , and what emerged in my heart was the thought that I couldn't talk about it, I must not talk about it, I definitely couldn't talk about the king's affairs.
It can be said that the Empire can't ask anything next. In fact, apart from the fact that Lelouch is Zero and the murderer of Kurovis, Shumu Suzaku really doesn't know much. Even he himself I still haven’t figured out how I got back to the Imperial Prison.
And because Shumu Suzaku's return also allowed the originally interrupted trial to continue. Although the empire also didn't know why Shumu Suzaku appeared unconscious outside the military court, it was unclear to the imperial military in District 11. The reappearance of Shumu Suzaku is just the best opportunity to wash away the mistake of Shumu Suzaku being rescued by Zero. At least when 'no one' knows about it, it will be a chance for some people to stand out. opportunity.
Proclaiming to the outside world that Shumu Suzaku was once again taken back from the hands of the resistance organization by the Imperial Army can also save some lost face. You can even put a golden announcement on your own face before retaking Shumu Suzaku. Over time, they eliminated many terrorists, ensuring that they saved face and at the same time promoted the power of the empire.
In addition, due to the action of another force within the empire, the subsequent trial of Suzaku Suzaku turned into a formality. It was announced that Suzaku Suzaku had assassinated Kurovese due to insufficient evidence and no motive. was found not guilty and released in court.
Everything that happened in just a few hours in the military court building could not escape Xiao Ran's eyes, including who contacted the court, how many people from the military came to communicate, etc., and the controversy over the final disposition of Shumu Suzaku. Wait, nothing is beyond Xiao Ran's expectation. Everything is continuing to develop as it should. Even if there is no force from within the empire that Xiao Ran already knows the origin of, Xiao Ran can still do it. It is guaranteed that Suzaku Shumu can at least leave this court safely with an innocent identity.
Because just when Shu Mu Zhuque was acquitted, Xiao Ran sat generously in the office of the president of the military court in District 11, sitting on the chair that represented the highest executive of the court, and that The supreme governor of the court was like a servant, standing quietly opposite the table where Xiao Ran was sitting.
The consul looked to be in his forties. His long-term pampering made him look a little fat. At the same time, it seemed that because of his noble status, his every move seemed a little bit elegant. At that time, he was standing in front of the table, looking at the court footage displayed on the table TV with clear eyes like Xiao Ran.
It wasn't until the voice of Zhu Mu Suzaku's innocence rang out on the TV that the consul held his chest with one hand, slightly bent over Xiao Ran, and said: "King, the specially sent people contacted Princess Cornelia and Princess Euphemia, coupled with the previous confession of the man named Zero, there was no direct evidence for the arrest of Shumu Suzaku. It was the military people who assassinated Kuro in order to make people blame themselves and achieve other goals. The crime of Weiss was forcibly placed on Shumu Suzaku."
"But now that there is a game of power between all parties and the opinions of the two princesses, Shumu Suzaku will not be found guilty even if we don't take action. This result is just a normal result."
Xiao Ran turned off the TV and nodded gently, looking at the slightly fat military court consul in front of him. Logically speaking, it is impossible for this man who belongs to the empire to call Xiao Ran king and let Xiao Ran sit down. In his own position, but because of Xiao Ran's geass ability, he was also the second geass ability test product chosen by Xiao Ran. In less than a minute, this person was regarded as noble in the eleventh district. The person with the status directly became Xiao Ran's most loyal slave.
With this second experimental subject who surrendered and changed his inner beliefs within a minute and chose to be loyal to Xiao Ran, compared to the first Shumu Suzaku who resisted tenaciously and finally almost caused himself schizophrenia and fainted, Xiao Ran was simply I wonder if I made a mistake in the way I opened it when I first used this power. Otherwise, how could Shumu Suzaku persist for so long, and the guy in front of me paid his loyalty without any resistance and difficulty.
The reaction and condition of the first test subject Shumu Suzaku almost made Xiao Ran feel that his geass active ability was useless. But now after using it on the second person, he realized that it was not his ability that was useless, but the wrong target. , and judging from the current results, this ability is not useless at all. On the contrary, it is very easy to use. It takes less than a minute to use it on one person. Of course, this is also related to Xiao Ran's own mental strength. If If it were the current Lelouch who used Xiao Ran's ability, it might not be effective for ten hours. If this ability could be used well, it would be invincible. It would be even more invincible than Lelouch's ability. If it's good, you can easily take over the entire empire.
Xiao Ran stood up from the chair, walked to the window of the office and looked outside. After a moment of silence, he said: "Detain Shumu Suzaku for 72 more hours. He will never be allowed to leave here within 72 hours. As for the reason, I think I shouldn’t have to teach you anymore.”
The consul who had become Xiao Ran's loyal servant smiled confidently and said: "Of course my king, although the murderer of Kurovis was not him, it is indisputable that Shumu Suzaku had contact with the man named Zero. In fact, although it is against the rules to detain him for 72 hours, it is completely within my rights, and I will make him feel better during these 72 hours."
Xiao Ran nodded and asked: "When will the two new governors arrive in District 11? Have you received any news?"
The consul replied: "Princess Cornelia only sent an order just now. It's not clear when she will arrive. However, Princess Euphemia has arrived in District 11 and I need to check her location. What?"
Xiao Ran: "Yes. Let me know when you find out."
"Yes, there is also Wang Yao's identity, I will handle it as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran asked his new servant to detain Shumu Suzaku for seventy-two hours, in fact, in order to completely cut off the possibility of Shumu Suzaku and Princess Euphilia meeting. Xiao Ran still had no idea how Shumu Suzaku became the princess's exclusive knight. What I have some memories of is that I met Euphilia by chance and something happy happened, and as a result, I was chosen as an exclusive knight by that princess.
The fact that Shumu Suzaku was so lucky to reach that point was due to the arrangement of the plot, but Xiao Ran can also do what he can do, so Xiao Ran's position as the exclusive knight has to be determined, and the two knights of the two princesses Xiao Ran has to decide all the positions.
As for after seventy-two hours, everything will be settled. Even if Shumu Suzaku is released at that time, there will be no problem. As for Shumu Suzaku's arrangement, he cannot become an exclusive knight but can also become Xiao Ran's subordinate. , there will still be uses, I believe this guy will definitely become Xiao Ran's most useful weapon under Xiao Ran's training.
Shumu Suzaku is fine. Xiao Ran has received the news that Euphilia has arrived in District 11, so there is no need to stay in this military court. Just like entering the court quietly, the same will happen next. Leave quietly without being noticed by others.
Less than half an hour after Xiao Ran left the military court, the consul sent the location of Princess Euphemia to Xiao Ran's communicator with extremely high efficiency.
Although the current Princess Euphemia has arrived in District 11, she has only just arrived not long ago, and has not officially taken office yet. Everything about the residence here has not been arranged properly, so the place where she lives is not The castle where the governor normally lives is temporarily housed in an embassy similar to that specially used for official stays.
Xiao Ran followed the address sent to him by the consul and found the embassy not long after walking. It was a square building full of classical style, and it accurately appeared below the room where the princess lived, and Xiao Ran looked up. After glancing at the open window above, he touched his chin and took out the communicator.
"Saki, I may have to deal with some things in the past two days and won't go back for the time being. Take good care of Nunnally and keep an eye on CC. If there is anything abnormal, you can handle it yourself. If you can't handle it, contact me again."
After telling Saki that he might not go back in the next day or two, Xiao Ran wandered around the area and soon found a good place where he could see directly through his eyes the room where Princess Euphemia was temporarily staying. After spending some money and using tricks to forcefully rent a room in a certain situation, Xiao Ran temporarily settled here and seemed to have started an unusual and indescribable life.
The reason why Xiao Ran did this was because he was not sure when Princess Euphemia left home, so he could only choose this method of waiting for the princess. Of course, Xiao Ran could do it too. Sneaking into the embassy, he controlled Princess Euphemia like a consul, but after thinking about it, he decided to contact him in a normal way first. After all, although geass's ability is powerful, it is not omnipotent. If something unexpected happens in the middle, or a situation like Shumu Suzaku's, it will obviously be a loss that outweighs the gain.
