The Royal Palace, the Royal Palace in Butalia is very special. A Western-style country has an Eastern concept in terms of the Royal Palace. Instead of using a huge castle as the Royal Palace, it is clearly a royal town with many Palaces of different sizes are like the Forbidden City, but the buildings in the city are full of typical British style.
As a Western-style country, it is not too surprising to have such a palace. After all, judging from the fact that the emperor gave birth to more than a hundred children, there are not so many palaces and there is no way to accommodate so many princes and princesses. There are no less than an unknown number of imperial concubines, as well as an even greater number of attendants, servants and guards who take care of the royal family members.
After Xiao Ran came to the palace, he didn't feel any discomfort because of this huge building complex that was different and full of majesty. After all, he was someone who had seen the market before. A mere palace would not cause any disturbance in Xiao Ran's heart. After entering the palace, Xiao Ran did not meet the 'great' emperor Charles at the first time. Instead, he was taken to a palace that seemed to be specially used to receive foreign ministers, along with Jeremiah and Veretta. The two of them sat down in a separate waiting room in the palace.
As for Bimax, who brought them here, he separated from Xiao Ran after entering the palace. It is unclear where he went, but it was very likely that he went to meet the emperor.
As for what Bimax said when he was at the airport before, that the emperor was waiting for him, Xiao Ran didn't believe it at all. An emperor who had everything to do with his day would wait for him, a newly promoted Knight of the Round Table? Xiao Ran knew it was impossible just thinking about it. Just listen to a kind word and there was no need to take it seriously.
Except for this sentence, Xiao Ran didn't believe everything Bimax said in the car. He didn't believe it at all. But at least half of what Bimax said before was true, and the rest Half of them were false, even concealing and deceiving. Bimax thought that even if Xiao Ran didn't believe what he said, he was at least a little grateful. But he didn't know that Xiao Ran was fully capable of discerning his inner emotional state. , so as to determine whether what he said is true or false.
In Bimax's words, it is true that he wants to get a machine from the Scarlet Knights for him, and it is also true that he wants to set a benchmark, but this benchmark may not necessarily be him, Xiao Ran. It might be someone else, but the flag is absolute. Xiao Ran feels that Bimax wants to establish himself as an enemy of the Scarlet Knights. He seems to want to pit himself against the Scarlet Knights, and there are many uses for it. There are elements in it, and the many beautiful words he said are actually sugar-coated bullets, which are to make him a powerful cannon fodder to attract the Scarlet Knights, so that he can cause trouble for the Scarlet Knights, or cause trouble for each other, and ultimately let Bimax Achieve other goals yourself.
In addition, it is true that Bimax does not have a deep understanding of the Scarlet Knights, and it is also true that he is on guard against the Scarlet Knights. But precisely because of this, a suitable person is needed to test the depth of the Scarlet Knights. This is for testing. There is absolutely no one more suitable than Xiao Ran, especially after the incident of monitoring Euphilia, there have been obvious conflicts and contradictions between the two parties, and Xiao Ran also killed people from the Scarlet Knights.
Besides, what Bimax is expressing now is not the meaning of Emperor Charles? Otherwise, why would he not have been summoned from District 11 for a formal Knights of the Round Table canonization ceremony after there was no movement for a long time after the Euphilia surveillance incident
It's strange that there isn't some messy inside story here, but Xiao Ran doesn't care at all. No matter the Scarlet Knights, Emperor Charles, Bimax, or the entire empire, Xiao Ran doesn't care what they are planning, sugar-coated bullets. Okay, you can eat the candy coating and spit it back out of the cannonball. No, you can even swallow the cannonball together. Isn't it just to test the Scarlet Knights? Aren't you just going to cause trouble for the Scarlet Knights? Even if Emperor Charles and Bimax didn't have such an idea, Xiao Ran himself was prepared to do this. If he didn't trick those fools, it was definitely not his style of doing things. Even Charles and Charles were within Xiao Ran's goals. Whoever takes advantage of whom It’s really hard to tell.
Xiao Ran was sitting in the waiting room very calmly, drinking the tea brought by the attendant, looking leisurely. Compared with Xiao Ran's relaxation, Jeremiah and Veretta were much more serious, even if He always raises his chest and raises his head when sitting. Apart from taking a small sip of the tea in his cup, he doesn't make any other unnecessary movements at all.
The wait lasted for two or three hours. Xiao Ran didn't care at all how long he waited. Making him wait here was nothing more than a small trick by some superiors. Xiao Ran knew the truth behind this, so he didn't mind at all. Emperor Charles will do this, so there's no harm in waiting. Drinking tea and taking a nap when bored doesn't bother him, just treat it as a rest.
Finally, when the door of the room rang softly and an attendant walked in to inform Xiao Ran that Emperor Charles was going to meet him, Jeremiah and Veretta seemed to be relieved. After all, they were sitting in the palace, not It was really uncomfortable for the speaker to just sit there like this. Now that they could finally meet the great emperor of Butalia, the two of them were not that exaggerated to say they were excited. They were actually a little nervous.
However, after Xiao Ran stood up, he pushed the two of them down and said to them: "There is no need for you to go there. You are not comfortable staying here. Go and wait for me outside the palace."
Jeremiah was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Ran's words, but as a female, Veretta's sensitivity is indeed much higher than that of Jeremiah. She immediately reacted and pulled Jeremiah's arm. Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I understand, we will wait for you outside."
Xiao Ran nodded and walked towards the attendant who opened the door and nodded slightly to him: "Please ask someone to take them two out of the palace."
The attendant bowed respectfully: "I will arrange it later, Lord Knight."
"Let's go."
After both Xiao Ran and the attendants left, Jeremiah reacted, and then smiled bitterly: "It is true, we are not qualified to meet His Majesty now, not because of our status, just because we are guilty ministers, if not According to Your Highness Euphelia and your lord, we probably don’t even have the qualifications to come to this place.”
Veretta patted Jeremiah on the shoulder: "Actually, if we are not allowed to pass, it is because you want to protect us. Otherwise, if His Majesty asks us why we failed to protect His Highness Kurovese and wants to punish us, you will not So that we can be excused. If we don’t go, His Majesty won’t see us and naturally these things won’t happen.”
Following the attendant who led the way, Xiao Ran also passed many buildings on the road, and finally came to a splendid dome building until the attendant stopped. Xiao Ran also watched the guards guarding him on both sides stop.
"Sir Knight, His Majesty is waiting for you inside. Just go in by yourself and keep walking along the red carpet. I have to arrange for others to lead your subordinates away, so I will leave first."
Xiao Ran nodded, glanced at the open door in front of him and the guards guarding both sides of the door, and walked directly in.
After walking through the long corridor, past the groups of patrolling soldiers, and walking along a red carpet to a door again, I saw Bimax standing outside the door.
Bimax nodded to Xiao Ran with a smile: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Your Majesty had a lot of things to deal with before. Now he has dealt with them all. He is waiting for you inside. Come in with me. By the way, If you have any weapons, please hand them over to the guard next to you. You don’t need to bring any weapons to meet His Majesty.”
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. He didn't bring any weapons or anything. When he left District 11, the only things he took with him, apart from the clothes and masks on his body, were only those carried by Jeremiah and Veretta. If you carry a bit with you, there is no need to carry useless firearms.
Seeing Xiao Ran's motionless look, Bimax probably knew what was going on. He turned around and waved to the soldiers outside the door, and the soldiers pushed the door open from left to right. After walking in front without hesitation, Xiao Ran followed Bimax through the gate with steady steps.
Behind the gate is a large meeting hall, with a gold-rimmed red carpet in the middle and a row of heavy chairs on both sides. Not far from the front is a step, and above the step is a throne. The one who rules Emperor Charles of the entire Butaria was sitting on the throne at this time.
Bimax took Xiao Ran to the bottom of the steps, put his hand on his chest and bent down: "Your Majesty, Knight Lelouch Xiao has arrived."
Xiao Ran's eyes swept over Charles, who had his eyes closed on the throne. He smiled leisurely in his heart. He also imitated Bimax's way of stroking his chest and bending down. He followed the Romans and said, "Lelouch Xiao has seen your Majesty." .”
Bimax bothered to tell Charles that Xiao Ran had already arrived. In Xiao Ran's opinion, it was simply full of flaws. The sound of opening the door just now was not loud but not quiet either. It was Charles who was sitting on the throne. He could hear it, but the white-haired curly man, who was holding his head on the throne with his hands, had to wait for Bimax to speak before slowly opening his eyes. Xiao Ran said that he couldn't learn this kind of b-character.
His eyes slowly opened, and he slowly sat upright. His majestic gaze fell on Xiao Ran who was stroking his chest and bending over. Charles stood up slowly, shook his cloak, and spoke slowly with a powerful and thick voice. He spoke: "Stand up straight, Knight Bimax, Knight Lelouch."
Bimax and Xiao Ran stood up straight after hearing this, and the white-haired curly Charles on the steps also focused on Xiao Ran: "Lelouch Xiao, is this your name?"
Xiao Ran nodded lightly without being humble or arrogant: "Yes, Your Majesty, the name Lelouch Xiao has been with me since I came to this world."
When Charles asked such a question, Xiao Ran still didn't understand what was going on. For Charles, the name Lelouch may also be a special existence. It is almost impossible to say that he does not know Lelouch's current situation. , at best, it is unclear that Lelouch transformed into zero, obtained geass, killed Kurovis, and handed Nunnally to Xiao Ran.
Moreover, the real Lelouch is in District 11 at this time. Xiao Ran, the person pretending to be Lelouch, also came from District 11. As an emperor, it is normal for Charles to ask such a question with more thoughts.
But Xiao Ran didn't lie. The name Lelouch had indeed been with him since he came to this world.
Charles nodded slightly: "Knight Lelouch, why don't you take off your mask? Is your eye disease so serious that you can't bear it in such a room? Or is it that you can't show your true face to the public?"
"Of course not, Your Majesty." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "I'm just worried that taking off the mask will scare Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty doesn't mind, I will take it off."
Xiao Ran slowly raised his hand and touched his mask, but in his heart he was guessing why Charles wanted him to take off his mask. Was he trying to confirm that he was not that Lelouch? Or do you think the mask is getting in the way and want to confirm his true identity? Or maybe he wants to use geass to modify his memory
Xiao Ran took off the mask, but his eyes were gently closed and did not open. After seeing Xiao Ran's true face under the mask, Charles nodded slightly, but was a little dissatisfied that Xiao Ran took off the mask but did not open it. Eyes, but at this point, Charles did not continue to order Xiao Ran to open his eyes. Of course, it was not that he could not do so, but as a king, there was no need to reveal other people's secrets.
The requirement for Xiao Ran to become a knight is not to do anything he doesn't want to do. Although Charles didn't know whether Xiao Ran would refuse to open his eyes, there was no need to make such an attempt.
Charles nodded slightly, and Bimax whispered beside Xiao Ran: "That's it."
Xiao Ran closed his eyes and smiled slightly, and put the mask back on his face. At that moment, he was actually not too worried about whether Charles would let him open his eyes. The final result would not be that Xiao Ran suffered a loss. It was not a big deal. Just expending some energy to forcibly control Charles and Bimax would only do good and not bad for Xiao Ran.
The only thing they need to worry about is the Scarlet Knights. During their contact with Charles, if there are high-level spiritual participants, they are likely to detect something different from Charles and Bimax. Sure, this would most likely cause some unnecessary trouble. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Ran had no real intention to control Charles at this time.
