Chapter 224 – 223. Individually Defeated
Cornelia was taken to where her bodyguards were. Dalton pretended to be glad to see me. Looking at Guilford’s expression, it seemed that I wasn’t too reluctant. There were other guards whose names I didn’t know, but they were all looking at me.
Are you burdened?
“Why are you here?”
“Are the guards burdensome?”
Cornelia smiled softly at my question, she asked. She feels like an older sister teasing her naive little brother for some reason, so it makes me angry. I immediately shook my head. Since we’re all together anyway, I’ll only ask light questions that don’t matter if you listen.
“It’s not that the SS are burdensome, but if you called them here, doesn’t that mean it’s light to talk about?”
“It’s not a light question at all.”
Cornelia shook her head. Her expression, which had been smiling like she was cute earlier, had completely disappeared. I’m nervous. What are you trying to ask? Cornelia’s eyes darkened, as if she knew I was nervous.
“Didn’t Lelouch say it was Zero?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that Lelouch was alive? It was when I was the governor of Area 11.”
“At that time, Princess Cornelia was the governor of Area 11.”
I answered Cornelia’s question right away. Confirming that Cornelia’s eyebrows were furrowed, she immediately continued.
“His Highness Cornelia was a tough enough person to make Yuffie call her Governor-sama in her vacant position.”
“Right.”
“Then, if I had told you that Zero’s true identity was Lelouch back then, what would have happened to Lelouch?”
“That’s a misunderstanding. I would never have captured or killed Lelouch.”
“I don’t have the ability to read other people’s minds or see the future.”
“I see what you mean.”
At my answer, Cornelia nodded her head. Does it make sense that I said something to Cornelia and she didn’t say anything because she might kill Lelouch?
“Then did Yuffie know?”
“Yes. I knew. I told you.”
“Tell me?”
“After talking with Lelouch, I ran right over and talked. Japan as a special administrative zone is such a story.”
“Ah. That.”
Cornelia nodded her head. I felt the lie starting to get harder. I’m not lying to Cornelia. I told so many lies here and there, I couldn’t remember who said what kind of bullshit. It will save you from talking. I just said something different, huh? Didn’t you say that before? The moment you say that, you will become a liar.
“Then the second. How do you know about Gears so well? You were the one who first asked me to find the direction of Gears.”
“After learning that Zero was Lelouch, I needed a countermeasure against him.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because Lelouch also has Gears. Do you know what Lelouch’s Gears are? They are Gears of absolute obedience. One person cannot refuse Lelouch’s orders even once in a lifetime.”
“It’s a terrifying force.”
“It’s very scary. I thought that if I thought that Yuffie was caught, there might be a situation where I wouldn’t even get an answer. So I investigated. Zero has Lelouch, a girl with green hair who goes out with her. Where did the girl with green hair come from all of a sudden? Why did Zero kill Clovis, the capsule that Clovis said was poison gas wasn’t poison gas, and after investigating it like that, he found out that Clovis and General Bartre had been investigating Gears in advance.”
“Did you personally investigate each one like that?”
“Yes. It was difficult, but I couldn’t help it because I thought I had ridiculous powers.”
It’s fucking hard. Did I do something wrong? Inwardly, I thought deeply about what I had said, but so far I haven’t made any mistakes in my words. Cornelia nodded her head too. Anyway, as far as storytelling goes, it’s entirely up to Cornelia to believe me or not until the actual evidence comes out. Even if I get out of this situation, it’s good for me.
“This is the last. The Emperor and Empress Marianne. And even V.V.
“…That’s a secret.”
I honestly have nothing to say about this. At that time, I talked excitedly, but when I think about it, I didn’t have the ability to lie properly.
What to do fuck. It was so bad then. Didn’t I just say I was a bastard named V.V? Cornelia knew that Lelouch would take her anyway and spit out anything, but now that I think about it, isn’t that also? You knew what to say to Lelouch, so did I say that at the time? Whew. Like a fucking dog.
“I told you.”
“Hmm?”
It was then that a soft voice was heard. When I checked, C.C. Was walking out on the other side. Cornelia’s bodyguards were seen approaching behind C.C. He seemed to think he could do something stupid. Cornelia lifted her palms toward her bodyguards behind C.C. Her bodyguards, seeing Cornelia’s signal, went back to their seats and sat down.
Even Sword Breaker doesn’t do that.
The other day, when Karen and Lirina were fighting, I thought of the guys who didn’t stop me and cheered each other on, and my head hurt.
“What does that mean?”
“It’s literally. I’m the one who knows the whole story from the beginning.”
“Who are you?”
Cornelia didn’t seem to like the unexpected guest. From C.C’s point of view, she wondered that no matter how old Cornelia was, she would not look like a sperm or an egg to C.C. Yes, C.C. Is a witch who has lived for over 500 years.
“The person who gave Gears to Empress Marianne. He also gave it to Lelouch.”
“What?”
A knife was pulled from Cornelia’s waistband, but if you looked closely, it was the long musket she had seen the other day. That thing was a blade. Is it a knife or a gun? It looked good, but it seemed useless. I guess that’s it. Duplex officetel. Pretty crap.
“Who are you?”
“C.C Marianne’s best friend, and someone who participated in Charles and Marianne’s plans. You also saw them when you were little. Cornelia.”
“Do you know me?”
“I even changed your diaper once, kid.”
C.C chuckled and said something that scratched her Cornelia’s temper. Her Cornelia’s face flushed red. Saying that she changed her diaper, she did to a virgin of her stature, who turns 28 this year. C.C. Is also great.
As C.C said so, he came to my side. And he hugged me by the shoulder. I suddenly wondered what he ate wrong. Not only has he never been like this before, but even when his status was upgraded as an accomplice, they weren’t very close.
“V.V killed Marianne, and Marianne became possessed by someone else. There is a person who exchanged telepathy with Marianne. So, she ran away from V.V, and now she is acting like an accomplice.”
“Accomplice?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? This person and I are accomplices.”
“Which accomplice?”
“An accomplice in foiling the plans of the Britannian Emperor.”
“Hmm…”
As C.C. Explained, Cornelia was seen squinting her eyes and touching her chin. He doesn’t even have a beard, but seeing him stroking his smooth chin like that is oddly suggestive. I think it would look really pretty if I did something with that purple lipstick. Except she looks like a bitch now.
“Did you say it was a secret because of that woman?”
“Oh, Woojin. Did you want to protect me? You’re cute.”
I felt C.C. Hugging my neck, hugging me tighter. Her soft cheeks touched mine. What is he really like? Junior! Why are you again Now is not the time for that, so rest!
I was startled that my cock was erect, just feeling the touch of C.C.’S cheek. Cornelia gave her a look of disapproval. She thought she had to quickly change the atmosphere, so she picked up any words and started serving.
“Have you met V.V?”
“Yeah. It’s been a while, so I’m a little sentimental. What is it? We talked about everything.”
“What story?”
“The story of Charles. The story of Marianne. And the story of the death of V.V.”
“I want to hear it properly later.”
“Anytime? Maybe we’d better talk with V.V.”
“Okay.”
I spoke about C.C. And V.V. In front of Cornelia. Cornelia’s expression showed no signs of loosening. Fortunately, thanks to C.C., Who appeared at the right time, an image of a clean person with no secrets was created. Unlike before, Dalton and Gilford were looking at me with slightly worried expressions. Perhaps, he looked like he was contemplating whether he could have such a person by Cornelia’s side.
Those two were certainly good people and friendly to me, but they were also people I could catch and cut off at any time if I was wrong. There was nothing to worry about. Because you’re a man
“Do you have any more questions to ask?”
“You are not a member of the Black Knights, are you?”
“Yes.”
I nodded. Because he really wasn’t a member of the Black Knights. C.C raised his hand from the side and leisurely exclaimed, “I am a member of the Black Knights.” Cornelia and I didn’t bother. But now, I want you to step away from me a little bit. In addition to being too burdensome, Junior keeps getting up? Can I get up? Because I was asking.
“Before you came, I talked to Yuffie a lot. Swordbreaker. The name was on the business card I showed you the other day.”
“Yes. I run a PMC.”
“Why PMC?”
“If I didn’t do that, it would be difficult to move on an equal footing with Lelouch. The moment I joined the Black Knights, I would be under Lelouch, so I decided that I might end up not paying attention to Yuffie.”
This was the truth. When he became Lelouch’s subordinate, there was definitely a situation where he had to follow Lelouch’s orders even if he didn’t like them. And there will undoubtedly be instances where the situation becomes precarious. At that time, in order to protect Yuffie, Biretta, Lirina, and Naomi as the top priority, I couldn’t do anything to join the Black Knights.
It would be difficult to receive proper support from the Black Knights, but with that much, the Black Knights would be destroyed first. Because Sword Breaker was mixed into the Black Knights.
“I’m going into that PMC, too.”
“Yes?”
“Princess!”
“Stop! Gilford. You don’t speak yet.”
Guilford, taken aback by Cornelia’s words, called out to her Cornelia, but she shut her mouth again at Cornelia’s words. I honestly expected that Cornelia would help by creating a third faction, different from the Sword Breakers and the Black Knights, but I didn’t expect her to say that she would join the Black Knights or the Sword Breakers. No wonder, Cornelia’s pride was enormous.
“It seemed like the best thing to do to protect Yuffie by his side. Looking at the sides of Sword Breaker, there are many soldiers trained in special operations, but it seems that there are very few Nightmare pilots. What do you think?”
Cornelia grinned. She then pointed to her bodyguards who sat around her and watched in silence without saying a word.
“Cornelia and her bodyguard aren’t usable Nightmare pilots?”
Sister. Take me whoops
