Two people with malicious intentions and their own plans sat together, in this Butalia, under the eyes of Emperor Charles of Butaria, and they talked so nonchalantly about overthrowing this... If outsiders hear about the topic of the country, neither Xiao Ran nor Schneizel, who is the prince, will have any good results.
And even Schneizel himself didn't react, and he didn't realize why he was so easily influenced by Xiao Ran on the topic. But now Schneizel's heart was completely messed up, and he was said by Xiao Ran. Those things were messed up.
"The Scarlet Knights, the Resistance Army, Eupelia from the 11th District, Cornelia from the 19th District, the Resistance Army, and the Black Knights, the Special Agents..." Schneizel looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment: "These ...You mean all these powers belong to Lelouch, and that Pendragon..."
"That's right." Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and said: "These powers belong to His Highness Lelouch. He is currently the only commander of the Black Knights. Since the Pendragon belongs to the Black Knights, it is naturally also Lelouch. His Highness' power, Pendragon alone is enough to suppress all the military forces in Butaria, not to mention the Scarlet Knights, the core force of the resistance, with the support of two numbers, one big and one small. , special technical support.”
"It is impossible for Butaria to resist us with its current strength. Once we start taking action, this country and even the entire country will fall into our hands in an instant. His Highness Schneizel, I don't know that compared to How can we, with the power in your hands, do this to achieve this?"
"With your ability, you are enough to become the great steward of this country, just like you are now as the imperial prime minister, but you will have greater rights. I admire the ability you have always shown. Compared with Charles's dictatorial iron-blooded As a human being, you are more valuable for cooperation. If you are willing to join us, you will work with Cornelia to develop this country better through civil and military cooperation. You are a talent, and I am not We are willing to see people with such abilities choose to go against us and eventually fall into perdition, but it doesn’t have to be you.”
"Your willingness to join us only makes it easier for us to accept everything in this country, but without you, we can still suppress all opposition voices with powerful force, and Cornelia's help is enough to suppress it. Make a lot of noise.”
Schneizel's heart was in great ups and downs at this time. He admitted what Xiao Ran said. If it was true as Xiao Ran said, Lelouch's men now have so many terrifying powers, as well as Cornelia and Yuffie. With Leah's support, it would not be too difficult to suppress the opposing voices once the coup begins. In fact, all that is really needed is to pull Charles down and imprison him. It doesn't matter whether he exists or not.
However, how could that Lelouch possess such terrifying and powerful power? How did he do it
As for whether what Xiao Ran said is true or false, there is no need to doubt or investigate. Schneizel's eyesight and IQ will not doubt it too much. It can be easily exposed if it is false. To confirm what Xiao Ran said It's simple, you don't need to do anything to wait and see to know.
Since Xiao Ran can say these things without any secret, it means that Xiao Ran has enough confidence, and it is also to the level that even if it is leaked, it will not have any impact, so maybe he will not be able to wait too long to see Charles being raped. The day when the horse is dismounted, it may be today or tomorrow,
Schneizel admitted that if Lelouch really had such powerful power as Xiao Ran said, there would be no chance for Charles to betray him, and he, Schneizel, would also not have any chance, and Xiao Ran didn't seem to be worried about him at all. He would leak the conversation in the car. This confident look also made Schneizel smartly realize that if he did not agree but chose to refuse, the consequences could be imagined, but what would it be like? Schneizel did not expect the consequences. Although he did not care that much about his own life, if his life was exchanged for greater interests, Schneizel was definitely the one who could make the exchange.
But now, Xiao Ran's proposal made him feel very interesting. It was impossible to become an emperor, but in addition to the emperor's position, he could also obtain the emperor's rights, which allowed him to fulfill a lot of revenge in his heart. , but how many restrictions will Lelouch impose on him when he becomes the emperor.
Schneizel was silent for a long time, and Xiao Ran did not disturb his thinking. However, Schneizel might have thought about something in his mind, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "You just said there is no emperor. Although he has the power of the emperor, how can we explain this?"
"I know very well what kind of person you are, at least better than most people." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said: "If you can become the emperor, it will not be a bad thing for this country. On the surface, you seem kind and steady, and can be a good ruler, but the premise of all this is that there is no existence that blocks your path, and those numbers can also have a better life under your rule, because this allows you to rule The country is more stable and united."
"But you and Charles are the same in some respects. He wants to rely on force to seize the entire world. You also need strong power to shock the entire world. Your methods and ideas are much gentler, but that's also because Doing this can satisfy the goals and interests you want to see. You have the means, the ability is not bad, and the scheming is appropriate. The only thing missing is a sense of humanity."
"If there ever comes a day when a person like you has to make a decision, you will be the guy who doesn't hesitate to press the button to destroy the world, because your interests come first and you have no human emotions. It's just this that makes you stand out in my eyes. You no longer have the qualifications to be an emperor, so someone must restrain you and use your abilities to a normal level."
"Your Highness Lelouch, my ability to manage the country is indeed not as good as yours, and my in-depth understanding of this country is not as good as yours. I have the potential of a king, but I don't know how long it will take to become a qualified king, so I really need someone like you. You are the only one here to help."
"Huh, human nature?" Schneizel seemed to be mocking himself: "Then the Lelouch you are loyal to has such human nature? The Black Knights, zero is him, right? He can kill all his own brothers. You will think that such a person has humanity. Also, as a king, you don’t need such a fragile thing as humanity. If you want to lead a country and lead the entire country to become stronger and better, you need It’s just powerful, scheming, and rules.”
Xiao Ran shook his head: "You are right, the leader of a country needs to be strong, whether it is strength or heart, and also needs enough wisdom, but human nature is also indispensable. This is not a weakness but a shining point. Leading a country with rules is not a bad thing. Lelouch did do some things, but at least now he still has something he cares about to maintain his humanity. Nunnally, Nunnally is his biggest weakness. But the biggest advantage is that Nunnally’s existence prevents him from ever becoming a truly indifferent person.”
"Besides, when did I say that the person who can sit in that position for a long time is His Highness Lelouch." Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness Lelouch becoming the emperor will only be a transition, and Lelouch The emperor will inevitably die under the punishment of the Black Knights, and the person who eventually becomes the emperor will be Nunnally, who has come out of the pain and hopes that there will be no more tragedies of war in this world, and the person who has always wanted to make the entire world Euphelia, the country’s peaceful and co-prosperous country.”
"Two queens, plus me and Cornelia, the balance of the two queens, the balance of one civil and one military, hahaha." Schneizel took a deep breath and used his trembling hands to He picked up the wine glass and drank it down, laughing loudly: "Excellent plans, excellent scheming, people who can formulate such plans can attract the hatred of the entire world, and finally fake death and be reborn as zero. To become the person behind the scenes to truly check, balance and rule the world is not a plan that my stupid brother could have imagined."
"So you are the one who made this plan. It is really enviable for that guy to get your help. So how should I call you, Lelouch Knight of the Round Table?"
"Xiao Ran."
Schneizel nodded and stared at Xiao Ran very seriously: "Knight Xiao Ran, these are your plans, then what do you want to get from this plan? World peace, so great?"
Xiao Ran said leisurely: "You will know, after all, the precious things in this world are not just power, interests, and money, but there will always be some people who retain dreams and ideas in their hearts. This may be something you cannot understand. After all, in In your eyes, interests outweigh everything else.”
"Huh." Schneizel exhaled a long breath. He couldn't see clearly what Xiao Ran wanted and what benefit all of this had to him. Maybe it was just like Xiao Ran said, some people What is stored in his heart is indeed beyond his comprehension.
Schneizel shook his head and asked, "When were you planning to take action?"
Xiao Ran said: "It's very fast, but since I know the news from you that Charles is planning to deal with me, it doesn't have much to do with taking action today. It's a bit anxious, but it won't have much impact."
Knowing from Schneizel's mouth that Charles was preparing to deal with him and send Bimax to District 11 was indeed a bit sudden. It was definitely impossible to say that there would be no impact if he acted in advance, but it was not as big as imagined. After all, the coordination and arrangement required for the operation are not much at all. All operations will be carried out by participants with extremely strong execution ability and powerful power. Even if it is just to capture the palace and capture Charles, it can be said to be half the success.
Next, Cornelia expressed her support in the 19th District, and was able to suppress a group of resisting voices. If Schneizel also supported it at the same time, the rest of the matter would be simpler.
As for the arrangements made by Xiao Ran, now that the Scarlet Knights have returned to the capital, they can take action at any time. Although the machine was seriously damaged on the battlefield on the African continent, there are still usable machines, and there must be spare machines and so on. Yes, not to mention that it was not just the Scarlet Knights who entered the capital at this time. Even the Roaring Lion Legion entered the capital under Xiao Ran's arrangement. As long as Xiao Ran gave an order, the participants of the two legions began to take action. The gods can kill the gods and the Buddhas, and they can easily suppress all the important facilities in the entire country.
Schneizel has completely calmed down: "Haha, okay, if you can do this today, then I will not hesitate to stand up and declare my support for Lelouch. All my previous preparations must be at that time You can do it too. If you want me to join you and help Lelouch manage this country, then you must at least let me see with my own eyes whether you have this ability."
He didn't say what would happen if Xiao Ran couldn't do it, but he probably knew what the outcome would be without further explanation. He would definitely sell Xiao Ran without hesitation and get rid of all relations with Xiao Ran, or Huangque would sell Xiao Ran and Xiao Ran at the same time. Charles kills them all.
Xiao Ran smiled and understood Xiuzenair's meaning. He did not care about the other party's thoughts and words, but took out the communicator and sent a few messages to inform Seleus and Corgi to take action in advance.
After doing all this, Xiao Ran took back the communicator, closed his eyes and leaned on his back and began to fall asleep. He had no intention of continuing until the motorcade entered the palace and stopped in front of Charles's hall. Xiao Ran opened his eyes and he and Schneizel stepped out of the car one after another.
As soon as he got off the car, Xiao Ran felt that a lot of eyes were on him, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. There was nothing surprising about Luciano, who got off the car with Bimax, standing outside the hall door. He put away all his usual playful smiles and nodded solemnly towards Xiao Ran, waiting for the emperor's summons.
Four important figures, Xiao Ran, Schneizel, Bimax, and Luziano stood outside the hall door. After the person who informed them returned, the four people walked into the hall together. Perhaps each of the four people It's an actor. The calm smile under Xiao Ran's mask, Schneizel's gentle smile, Bimax's seriousness, and Luciano's seriousness. I don't know how much of the expressions on the four people's faces are disguises and how much are real. .
After passing through the long corridor and countless guards, Xiao Ran once again saw the curly-haired Charles, tall, cold and majestic, looking directly at Xiao Ran and the four of them, with no expression on his face.
