Chapter 186 – 185.2 Prince
C.C. Thought. What Woo-jin asked for by granting his wish.
Night of Rounds. And make it possible to gather Schneizel in one place.
Why did you tell yourself this story?
Is it really possible to get rid of the code?
I remembered the image of him asserting that he could grant my wish. What plan does he really have?
But is there any way he can collect all the rounds and schneizels himself? C.C was troubled. How I can How can I…
There was a way.
But C.C. Couldn’t help but worry. If he really decides to use this method, he will have to cling to Woo-jin. It becomes a situation where he has to ride the same boat with Woo-jin. A moment ago, in the office of the captain of the Sword Breaker, Woojin came to mind. He has a confident face. It was an expression of confidence that he could do it. Can you really trust him?
There was no way to determine whether what he said was true or false. The choice is in oneself, but the risk in the choice itself is too great, so I became afraid to actually execute it.
C.C, who had been thinking so, was taken aback.
‘Am I afraid? Choice?’
Anyway, if more time passes, he will surely die. I just want to die as soon as possible. As in the case of Mao in the past, if she did not feel any sympathy for her contractor, if she lost even a hint of her humanity like the nun who handed over the code to her, she could die unexpectedly easily. But so what does that mean?
He wanted to die as a human.
C.C smiled bitterly. He fulfilled the condition Woo-jin demanded, which he himself could never refuse. Did Woojin aim for this? Did he want to sever the link between himself, Charles and Marianne?
[Strange to think. Isn’t it?]
“Hmm? What are you talking about?”
[I think you’re thinking strange things. What happened?]
“No. Not yet.”
C.C talked into the air. Lelouch’s mother. Nanari’s mother. Charles’ true love. Her own friend.
“But now what will happen?”
C.C decided to fulfill Ugin’s request.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Schneizel has arrived in Area 11.
It was different from when Cornelia first arrived in Area 11. She was different from Cornelia, who hated cumbersome rituals. A red carpet was spread all the way to the Government General’s office, and the number of soldiers in the protocol was immeasurable. She even lined up Sutherland on both sides, making a path with a large lance. Kanon Maldini, who got off Schneizel’s private jet, seemed to be comfortable with such a welcoming ceremony, and guided Schneizel by standing diagonally in front of Schneizel, who was coming down behind him.
“Is it necessary to do something grandiose like this? Your Highness Schneizel.”
“Area 11 is in a state of tension. The people can be relieved with just the hint that an absolute power has appeared.”
“…”
Kanon silently nodded at Schneizel’s explanation. Because Schneizel was right. A number of Britannians were looking around to see how Schneizel was going. Schneizel waved leisurely, and cheers erupted from the crowd of Britannians in his direction. The cheers were contagious, and after a while it spread throughout the crowd that had gathered to see him. Schneizel laughed.
At the very end of the walk, I confirmed that the imperial ceremonial vehicle and all 5 Knights of the Rounds had gathered.
“All Hail Britania”
“It’s been a while. Nice to meet you.”
“No, Your Highness Schneizel.”
Dorothea Ernst, who was suffering as a temporary governor, almost shed tears in front of Schneizel, who warmly welcomed her. It wasn’t because he had heard that the noble second prince had suffered. It was because of the relief that she would no longer have to do the work of the governor general.
No one in the rounds could understand how much he suffered during that time.
Schneizel, who patted Dorothea’s shoulder, who was thrilled, climbed into the royal family’s ceremonial vehicle. After that, all of the rounds climbed into their own repaired private plane and floated in the air to follow. It was also to show the majesty of Rounds, but Area 11 was in a dangerous state. It was also foreseeable when the Elevens were sent to Hokkaido after losing the last battle.
In the current situation, the more Schneizel escorts, the better.
No one dared to touch Schneizel’s ceremonial vehicle escorted by Rounds as he headed into the Government-General’s office. Schneizel, who smoothly entered the building of the Government General Office, called Rounds to the meeting room without inspecting the department. As if they had never thought that the call would come so quickly, the rounds called by Schneizel’s order were making various expressions. Bradley, Monica, and Anya look puzzled, and Dorothea looks happy. In the case of Nonette, he had a pensive expression on his face.
Schneizel looked at Nonette’s expression and asked with a smile.
“Sir Nonette Eniagram. You seem to guess what I called you for.”
“Is the situation that serious?”
“Their situation is not serious.”
“Then…”
“It must be true that your father’s situation is serious.”
Schneizel laughed. Strangely, Charles showed a higher attachment to Area 11 than other areas. Why did you do that? Because it is the largest source of sakuradite? No. Britannia would of course be nice to have a sakuradite mine, but even without it, Britannia is a country with national power that can be proud of being the strongest in the world. It wouldn’t be strange to say that Eleven in Hokkaido could be wiped out at any time in Britannia if you were prepared for damage.
Ruins.
Schneizel recalled the ruins. The ruins that were secretly studied to uncover the secret of Charles. Now, due to the interference of the Black Knights and Uzin, recognizing it again is close to impossible, but if you put together the information you already know, it is clear that the emperor has terrifying power. Although he still only has a heart attack.
Zero was the same. Clovis’ sudden death. The surrounding circumstances are hard to explain with words that happened then and do not fit logically. As far as he knew, it was similar to what happens around the emperor sometimes.
There is a means of something that you don’t know about.
Schneizel regretted it. When he had the chance, he should have secured General Bartre, who was indebted to the string off. In order to avoid the Emperor’s eyes, he purposely installed a druid system that could interpret the remains on the Nightmare. How did he know that Gawain was stolen by the Black Knights? Lloyd Asprund, who created the Druid system, and the correspondent were kidnapped by the Black Knights. There were many times when he felt as if he was holding back his progress toward the truth with all his might.
Kam Woo-jin. By that person.
On the plane he boarded to reach Area 11, the emperor’s communication to him further amplified his suspicions. Because the emperor suddenly said this.
[Kill the person named Kam Woo-jin. Must. Take all the rounds. Check out how you move yourself and die.]
Schneizel was confused, but accepted the order with a smile. However, if he was the emperor, if he was the emperor he knew, the emperor was never a person who cared so much to kill Kam Woo-jin.
An existence that reigns over the weak based on absolute self-trust. Because it was the emperor.
“Now that I’ve been appointed governor. I think I need to finish the job as quickly as possible. There are so many things to do other than this.”
Schneizel, as always, did not lose his composure. In the Britannia Empire, which ruled half the world, Schneizel was the closest person to the throne. No one knew how many cases Schneizel was handling. Recently, while the emperor was secluded, most of the great and small issues of the Britannia Empire were often resolved in Schneizel’s hands.
However, Schneizel was appointed as the governor of Area 11.
As long as Schneizel stayed in Area 11 for a long time, the Britannia Empire itself began to lose money knowingly and unknowingly.
Schneizel couldn’t accept that. He would have to obey the emperor’s orders, but apart from that, he himself didn’t want to stay in Area 11 for long either. He finished his work as soon as possible and had many facts to find out. Zero is one of them. Kam Woo-jin is one of them.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
In the midst of refining the doctrine in the office, C.C came again. I reflexively stiffened my expression. Because seeing C.C. Was uncomfortable. He didn’t like long conversations with people he couldn’t trust. This is because the more you talk, the more likely you are to unconsciously bring out your inner feelings.
“Why did you visit?”
I asked. If you have a business, it’s quick and simple. Maybe C.C wants it too? Just like I’m uncomfortable with C.C, C.C doesn’t like me either. Rather, it would be closer to dislike.
“Everyone in the rounds. And you said Schneizel, right?”
“Hmm?”
“The requirements you mentioned.”
“Ah. I did.”
I nodded my head at C.C’s question. Did talk like that While recapturing the entire territory of Japan, I can move safely only when they are gone. When I made a gesture of approval, C.C grinned.
“Get ready. I’ll be back soon.”
“What do you mean? Who’s coming?”
“Rounds, and Schneizel. They’re coming to kill you. Is that what you wanted?”
“That’s right. That’s what I really wanted.”
C.C’s explanation made me realize what C.C was up to. My whole body trembled with joy. It was unthinkable, but now I know. How C.C called them together and why they were so eager to kill me.
Now I had to find Cornelia and Jeremiah and bring them back.
