Chapter 19 Before the Storm (2/3)(1/2)
"Governor! Governor! Sister Huang! Just one hour, just one hour!! Just let me go to the hospital!"
On the night after the kidnapping incident ended, Euphemia, who had just returned to the Governor's Palace, had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, so she asked Cornelia to go to the hospital.
The result can be imagined.
Cornelia cannot and does not dare to let Euphemia leave the Governor's Palace until the impact of the kidnapping incident is completely settled.
In fact, Cornelia was relieved that all the kidnappers were killed, but it also brought new problems.
That is, Zero, the murderer of the third prince Clovis, openly announced the establishment of an illegal organization called the "Black Knights" under the influence of the hostage incident.
Cornelia, who had witnessed all this happening, would have ordered the immediate elimination of Zero and everyone else if she had not considered Euphemia's safety.
Cornelia, who had countless thoughts flashing through her mind, stopped, turned around and looked at her sister with an anxious look on her face, sighed and said: "Yuffie, I know you are worried about that knight, but hasn't the doctor already done it?
Have you come to a conclusion? Although it looks scary from the outside, it is just a trauma suffered in a fierce battle."
As she spoke, Cornelia took a step forward, raised her hand to caress the side of Euphemia's face, and said softly: "Euphemia, what you should do now is adjust your mentality, rest well, and then choose a suitable one.
It’s time to visit that man, Knight K. Otherwise, his desperate efforts to save you from the terrorists will be in vain. Got it?”
Seeing Cornelia's resolute attitude, Euphemia finally bit her lip, nodded and obeyed Cornelia's words, and returned to the room to rest under the leadership of the maid who arrived after hearing the news.
After watching Euphemia return to the room surrounded by many maids, Cornelia breathed a sigh of relief.
As a fellow sister, Cornelia knew that if Euphemia continued to persist, she might become loose, so she allowed Euphemia to go to the hospital to visit the Kamen Rider.
"What happened to the investigation at the Dalton Convention Center Hotel?"
After stabilizing her mind, Cornelia quickly focused on business.
"Yes! According to the investigation results obtained from the corpses unearthed from the ruins, the terrorists were indeed killed by the knight K using a long sword as the deputy governor said."
"Long sword? How is it possible? Although our Brittanian Empire's soldiers are excellent, the enemy is a terrorist who can persist for several years in this overwhelming disadvantage. How can such well-trained soldiers be killed?
Kill with a long sword?”
Cornelia obviously did not believe everything her sister said. She knew that Euphemia was hiding something from her.
Even if these things do not have a negative impact on Euphemia, or even her, Cornelia, Euphemia's concealment does make Cornelia feel anxious.
"Continue to clear the ruins. In addition, notify the public and let the propaganda department make necessary reports on this incident."
"Yes! Governor!"
Standing in the aisle, Cornelia turned her head and looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky outside the window, and sighed secretly:
"Perhaps, there will be a storm coming."
at the same time.
In a room in the student union office building of Ashford College.
"hateful!"
With a yell, a black helmet was thrown on the bed, rolling around until it hit an exquisite and graceful body, and then stopped.
"What happened? Did you get hit by someone?"
With the same cold expression as always, the woman lying on the bed holding a pillow raised her head slightly and looked at the young man with a furious expression.
"What on earth is that? What on earth is that kind of power?" The young man took a few steps forward, grabbed the girl's shoulders, and asked quickly.
"Power?" With her long green hair flying, the girl's expression became more and more confused.
"Power? Don't you already know?"
"No! That's definitely not the power of geass! c.c! Before you made a contract with me, did you have a contractor similar to me!!"
Suddenly, the young man thought of a possibility.
The green-haired girl in front of her has an immortal existence. In other words, she is not as simple as the young appearance on the outside. In fact, she is an existence that has lived for at least hundreds of years.
In this way, the young man thought that in the past hundreds of years, there must be other existences exactly like him who had formed a contract with c.c.
"calm!"
The green-haired girl, also known as C.C, raised her hand to grab the boy's hands and gave him a cold shout.
"It's just some accidents that can make you like this? Is the oath you swore so easily vulnerable?"
After c.c's cold drink, the young man finally regained his sense.
He let go of C.C's shoulders, took a few steps back, fell down on the sofa, raised his hands to cover his face, and murmured: "That was simply hell. One second he was still a living person, and the next second he was a body.
Separation."
"Are you afraid of this? Have you forgotten? Before this, how many people have you killed with your own hands, and how many people committed suicide fanatically because of your order? With bones behind you, you are still afraid of this? Lu
Lu Xiu."
c.c sat up from the bed, looked at the somewhat depressed young man, and spoke word by word.
"Hmph. Yes. There are bones behind me." The young man named Lelouch snorted, looked up at C.C., and said with piercing eyes: "I should thank you! C.C. But, my previous question
, you haven’t answered me yet... c.c., do you have another contractor like me?"
c.c was silent.
The two people's eyes looked at each other in the distance, without any emotion, just looking at each other simply.
Gradually, c.c subconsciously avoided Lelouch's gaze.
When the moonlight passed through the curtains made of tulle and scattered on the ground, the sound of c.c. sounded faintly.
"Yes. However, he is not as powerful as you said."
"As expected." Lelouch's eyes gradually became sharper. C.C's confession made Lelouch feel a sense of urgency.
The girl in front of him is undoubtedly his contractor and the source of the geass he relies on now.
If c.c feels that she does not have the ability to realize her wish, it means that the current geass will be taken back.
"c.c. Where's his name?"
Lelouch's voice was calm and calm.
However, c.c sensed a hint of murderous intent in it.
"Don't worry! Lelouch. That child will not be an obstacle to you or me." c.c avoided Lelouch's eyes again, and said in a calm, yet slightly pity-like voice: "That child
, he’s just a poor kid who was dragged into hell by me.”
"hell?"
When Lelouch heard this word, he snorted coldly.
"Hell? Very good. In that case, I will put him aside. c, c. If he has an impact on my plan, then I will definitely kill him!"
c.c was silent.
She didn't know how to respond to Lelouch.
Whether it's Lelouch or that poor child, c.c really can't find any solution in a short time.
"Speaking of which, c.c, you are an immortal witch. Have you really never seen any power other than geass?"
Facing Lelouch's question again, C.C shook his head and answered in the affirmative.
"No. Although I can no longer remember how many years I have lived, I am certain that in this world, there is only the extraordinary power of geass."
"Really? I understand."
This time, Lelouch believed what c.c said.
He turned around and opened the curtains, stared in the direction of Kawaguchi Lake, and murmured: "It seems that in this world, there is another force that we don't know about that is disrupting the world."
"Are you scared? Lelouch. You know, humans will always feel fear when facing unknown existences." c.c turned his head and looked at Lelouch's back.
Lelouch lowered the curtains, turned around, turned his back to the moonlight, and looked at c.c. with a determined look on his face.
"Afraid? Afraid? Yes! I am very scared now! Very scared! However, I am very much looking forward to this unknown power being able to disrupt the world as soon as possible."
"Because, only in this way can I realize my dream of destroying Britannia as quickly as possible!!"
A few days later,
Cornelia, who had finally finished handling the follow-up work of the kidnapping incident, had not had time to take a breath, but was disturbed by the sudden arrival of Euphemia.
After Cornelia glanced at the guard captain Gilbert who looked helpless, she shook her head slightly and motioned for the others to leave the room.
"Yuffie, have you rested well these days?"
Cornelia smiled slightly.
"Sister Huang, I have had enough rest! Can you let me go to the hospital to visit you now? You know, this is also one of the duties of the deputy governor!!"
A few days later, Euphemia actually used the name of Lieutenant Governor in an attempt to obtain permission to go to the hospital.
Such a change made Cornelia dumbfounded.
However, Cornelia finally agreed to Euphemia's request. However, before letting Euphemia go to the hospital, Cornelia also handed Euphemia a warrant and asked her to go with her.
Bring it to Raymond Kai.
