Xiao Ran's eyes narrowed immediately after Xiuzenair said this. He took a deep look at Xiuzenair who had an indifferent smile but also revealed a serious expression, and began to think about Xiuzenair. What does it mean to suddenly say these words
What Shuzenel revealed was indeed a bit surprising. Charles actually wanted to send Bimax to District 11 to take over the position of Governor Euphelia. Generally speaking, other people besides members of the royal family are He cannot become a governor, but the Knights of the Round Table are not among this group, especially Bimax, whom Charles trusts the most. I am afraid that even a knight of the Round Table cannot replace a member of the royal family and directly become the governor, but Bimax is the best. Si has this ability.
The reason why Bimax was asked to go to District 11 was to investigate the Black Knights, but maybe it was just in name. Why did Charles do this? It was because he sensed something was wrong in District 11, and it was because of Why are there other reasons inside? It may also be because the appearance of Pendragon made Charles feel something. It may not necessarily mean that he knows what Lloyd and Xiao Ran did, but it may also be because of his concern for Lloyd's current project. I am more interested in it, hoping that someone who is completely trustworthy will watch over me. Of course, there may be many reasons.
And once Bimax goes to District 11, Euphilia will probably have to return to the capital. After all, there has never been a situation where a prince or princess has served as a deputy to a non-royal member, so once Bimax goes to District 11, Euphilia will Returning to the capital will be inevitable, and there is no way to hide the things Xiao Ran did in District 11, especially the clearing out most of the cherry stone inventory, so Xiao Ran is definitely not willing to have such a thing happen. Not only because of Sakurashi, but also because of District 11, which has been regarded as a private area by Xiao Ran. At the same time, he is not willing to return Euphilia to the capital at this time, because Xiao Ran feels that Charles must have something. Other thoughts, maybe even wanting to use Euphilia to blackmail him.
As for Xiuzenaier who said all this, there is no way to know his true thoughts in his heart. The emotions he showed, at least the emotions perceived by Xiao Ran, were extremely calm. There was no malice but no kindness at all. Except for this Beyond the point, Xiuzenaier just mentioned the Black Knights and the Roaring Lions Legion’s mysterious disappearance just now. He highlighted the word mysterious with emphasis, as if to point out the relationship between the Black Knights and the Roaring Lions Legion. Xiao Ran was sure that Xiuzenair didn't know anything, it was just an inference based on unreasonable premises, and there was a hint of probing in his words and emotions.
In addition, Xiuzenair did not show any hostility, and it is difficult for a person who puts interests first to express goodwill from his heart. However, Xiao Ran also noticed another emotion in Xiuzenair's heart, which was desire. But what is this guy like? What is it that you long for
The matter of the Roaring Lion Legion was indeed a big flaw for Xiao Ran. After all, they disappeared too suddenly, and the soldiers in the 19th District took over the rebel territory too smoothly, and they did not meet any decent people at all. Resistance, without the core of the Roaring Lion Legion, the resistance army will naturally not be able to make any waves. For the soldiers of the 19th District, it is equivalent to no one. However, the sudden disappearance of the core resistance strength will indeed make people feel that there is There is something unreasonable.
However, these things that Xiuzenair suddenly said, whether it was a test or the news that was deliberately revealed, how could Xiao Ran care too much about these things? It didn't matter even if Charles wanted to send Bimax to District 11, because It is impossible for Bimax to have this opportunity to truly set foot in District 11, and there are countless reasonable reasons for the mysterious disappearance of the Roaring Lions, which have nothing to do with him at all, but the most important thing is that Charles was there There are only a few days left in the seat.
But what kind of idea is this guy Shuzenel having
Xiao Ran paused deliberately, not pretending to be stunned, not pretending to be confused, and not showing the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He just said in a very calm tone: "Really, Knight Bimax is going to District 11, I have never heard of this, but why did His Highness tell me this news?"
"Haha." Shuzenel laughed and said: "Eupelia is a very cute sister. It is not a good thing to be able to leave the complicated place of the capital and go to District 11. Now suddenly something like this happened. I have to return to the capital for business, but I feel a little sorry and uncomfortable for her. Knight Lelouch, you and Euphilia seem to have a very good relationship. I also hope that through your words, Euphilia can mentally prepare herself first. Prepare."
"The situation here in the capital is much more complicated, and it is not suitable for a simple girl like Euphilia. I hope she can stay in District 11, but now that the matter has been decided, as an older brother, I can only try my best to let her She continues to retain that hard-won simplicity.”
What Xiuzenai said was reasonable and reasonable, and he also revealed a lot of goodwill in his words. He was not directly targeting Xiao but expressed his position through Euphilia. The attitude shown in these words was that Xiao Ran believed it. Xiuzenai Er is a person who puts interests first. At least now he, Xiao Ran, is an interest worth fighting for in Xiuzenaier's eyes.
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, and said, "Your Highness, if you want to say something, just say it directly. Going around in circles is a waste of time and energy."
Xiuzenair looked at Xiao Ran and smiled calmly without surprise: "I have long heard that Knight Lelouch is too rigid and direct. Even when facing His Majesty, he will refuse orders and tasks that he is unwilling to carry out. Today I am I finally saw it, okay, then I won’t make any detours with you.”
Xiao Ran nodded: "Please tell me."
Shuzenair said: "You must be prepared to go to His Majesty this time."
Xiao Ran was puzzled: "Huh? What does this mean, Your Highness?"
Shuzenel did not continue to talk about it and said directly: "Knight Lelouch, although you have made great contributions in the 19th District. This is something that countless people can see, but the propaganda in the capital is not like this. , Lelouch Knight, you only serve as the deputy governor in the 19th District. For the reputation of the royal family, and perhaps for other reasons, the external publicity is mainly based on Cornelia. No matter what, she is Cornelia in name. Nelia led the soldiers to victory, but you, Knight Lelouch, played a very small role in it, it can be said to be almost none."
"But if that's the case, it's not like His Majesty won't remember your merits. Cornelia will receive the honor on behalf of the royal family, and the merits will not be erased from you. But in that last battle, the Black Knights The failure faced when the machine called Pendragon appeared was different. Even though she had some credit for it, Cornelia couldn't bear the failure of that battle, so the only person who could bear it was you, Lelouch. Knight."
"Being saddled with a defeat that almost wiped out all the soldiers in District 19, you should be able to guess what the consequences will be even if I don't say more about Lelouch Knight. What's more important is that I established you as a model in the first place. The role of the Scarlet Knights as a check and balance is gone at this time, and the Scarlet Knights have been completely wiped out, plus your attitude towards His Majesty, haha."
"So His Majesty thinks that I am no longer useful and is ready to take action against me." Xiao Ran smiled nonchalantly and said: "But even so, there is no one more powerful than me in the entire empire. Pilot, although the current situation has calmed down due to the appearance of Pendragon, it does not mean that the threat of Butaria will disappear. Cutting off one's arm at this time is not something that a majestic emperor can do. "
"But what if those members of the Scarlet Knights are reorganized and accepted next?" Xiuzenaier said unhurriedly: "And besides the Scarlet Knights, there are other forces, forces that only obey His Majesty's orders. Now that they have joined in, the Scarlet Knights have lost their power, and all that is left is just a piece of loose sand. Even if they are reunited, it is impossible to return to their original appearance in a short period of time. If they want to develop, they cannot do without the support of the empire. I believe that the Scarlet Knights Captain Corgi of the Knights will make a clear choice this time.”
"But you are different. A soldier who has made it clear that he will not obey orders will either find a way to control you or get rid of you. Aren't the ways to control you already begun? And if you want to get rid of you, it will be here It won’t be too difficult in the country, and don’t you think you got too close to the Scarlet Knights because of the war in District 19?”
"Is this the emperor's mental trick?" Xiao Ran laughed, not hiding the disdain and ridicule in his laughter: "That means that such a large convoy is not so much here to greet me as it is to escort me?"
Xiuzenair said leisurely: "That's why I'm here. No one can deal with you with me here, and I can also help you get through this difficulty, but I also hope that you can help me do something." thing."
Xiao Ran softly uttered two words, and Xiuzenaier was finally unable to keep the calmness on his face, and was also shocked in his heart: "Coup?"
Xiuzenair's pupils dilated slightly, and his expression when he looked at Xiao Ran was a bit incredulous, but his face soon returned to calmness: "Oh, Knight Lelouch, why did you say that."
Xiao Ran said unhurriedly: "Charles is a self-centered person, and it is absolutely impossible for him to change his opinion because of you. Since he is already planning to attack me, it is useless for anyone to persuade him, but I am afraid that he should choose to control me or kill me. You can't be sure now, right? If you want that person to change his mind, you can only make him lose the right to implement his idea, so I can't think of any other possibility besides a coup, not to mention your highness, Xiuzenair, you have no right to execute the idea. Hasn’t the prince’s attitude already shown a lot of things?”
"Bah bang bang." Xiuzenaier clapped his hands and looked at Xiao Ran with admiration: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the Lelouch knight who made eu suffer a big loss. This vision is indeed surprising, then What do you think, Lelouch Knight?"
Xiao Ran said: "It's not that a coup is impossible, it's just that after the coup, should I be the leader, or should you be the leader?"
Shuzenel narrowed his eyes: "Knight Lelouch, what do you mean by this?"
"Because I am also preparing for a coup." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "A coup in the name of Lelouch Li Britalia."
Xiuzenaier finally couldn't keep the expression on his face, and his expression changed drastically as he stared at Xiao Ran: "Impossible!?"
"Although I use the name Lelouch, I am not Lelouch. That's why that guy Charles is willing to put me in District 19." Xiao Ran understood what Xiuzenaier meant by "impossible" , and explained to the other party with great interest: "But the name I use is a kind of announcement, announcing the return of the expelled Lelouch Li Britalia. Yes, I am that His Highness Lelouch's people, not only me, the Scarlet Knights, but also the core force of the resistance that disappeared in District 19 are all His Highness Lelouch's people, oh by the way, even the Black Knights are Lelouchs. The person who repairs His Highness.”
"I don't know when you came up with the idea of a coup, but our planning has been going on for a long, long time. District 11 has been completely infiltrated, including the special research institute that Charles has invested a lot of expectation in, Pendragon. In fact, it is a machine made by the special mission. The same is true for District 19. Cornelia has completely sided with us. The appearance of Pendragon, the failure of both sides in the battle between EU and Butalia, and the destruction of the Scarlet Knights. Come back, all of this is the script we arranged."
"Haha, speaking of it, both you and Charles have poor vision. This world is completely different from before, but you are still looking at the whole world with your original eyes, maintaining that kind of You are so arrogant that people are confused, and you are so self-righteous that you think you can control everything. Do you think that if the body of the Scarlet Knights is destroyed, it will have no fighting power? No, the real power is something you can never imagine, I tell you Do these realities of yours make you feel like you have been slapped hard, do you feel that your face hurts now?"
Xiao Ran smiled and looked at Xiuzenaier with interest: "I'm telling you something. Now our power has been completely deployed in the capital. With just one order, all the top leaders of the capital will be controlled. , the palace will also be breached in the shortest possible time, don’t you think that if I take the initiative to go to the palace now, this is what is arranged in the script?"
"Now, in turn, His Highness Shuzenel, I sincerely extend an invitation to you on behalf of His Highness Lelouch. I hope you can become one of us, overthrow the tyranny of Charles and restore this country to its original appearance. I can also On behalf of His Highness Lelouch, I would like to assure you that you cannot obtain the position of emperor, but we are willing to hand over the emperor's rights to you."
