"What about you?" Euphemia asked.
"Me? Of course, I'm going to stay here and wait for your sister to come and save us, "Sei Itō said nonchalantly as he spread out his hands.
"Is that so? I thought you were going to go out and check on the situation," Euphemia said with a chuckle.
"I don't want to be a hero. Why bother with that?" Sei Itō pursed his lips and turned to walk toward Milei and the others. Behind him was Euphemia, who was also walking over to comfort the other hostages.
"Who's that woman?" After Sei Itō returned, Milei looked at Euphemia and asked in confusion.
"The third princess of the empire, Euphemia Brittania," Sei Itō said casually.
"What!" Milei looked at Sei Itō in shock. She couldn't imagine how the usually low-key Sei Itō knew the princess of the empire. While Milei was still in shock, Euphemia had already begun to speak under the protection of her bodyguards.
"Everyone, please be quiet," Euphemia said to the crowd loudly. When everyone's attention was focused on her, she continued, "I'm the third princess of the Brittania Empire, Euphemia Brittania."
Hearing Euphemia's self-introduction, the crowd immediately went into an uproar. They didn't expect that there would be a royal princess among them.
"Please be quiet," the bodyguard next to Euphemia shouted. Soon, the crowd calmed down and waited for Euphemia to speak.
"I know that everyone is very anxious now and wants to go home to see their loved ones. However, the danger hasn't been completely eliminated yet. We're still in the hands of the resistance. So in order to not put everyone in danger again, please try to be quiet and wait for the Brittania military to rescue us. I believe the military will send people to rescue us soon, "Euphemia said in a gentle tone.
After hearing Euphemia's words, the crowd looked at each other and gradually quieted down. It had to be said that in Brittania, the words of a royal were very convincing.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Euphemia walked to Sei Itō's side and stopped. He squatted down and asked Nina, who was crying in Milei's arms, "Are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine," Nina could choose not to answer Sei Itō, but she didn't have the guts to do that to Princess Nina. She lifted her head from Milei's arms and whispered.
"It's good that you're okay." Euphemia smiled and turned to Sei Itō beside her. "Are we just going to wait here?"
Sei Itō pondered for a moment. "Hmm, let's inform your sister first. If we just wait, it'll take a long time before we can make a move." Then, he took out his phone from his pocket and said.
"Make the call," Sei Itō said as he handed the phone to Euphemia.
"Okay," Euphemia replied as she took the phone. Then, he got up and walked to the side to make a call …
"Ha, what's the matter?" On the phone, Cornelia's somewhat irritated voice sounded. Obviously, Cornelia thought that it was Ito Sei who called.
"Sister, it's me, Euphemia," Euphemia said in a low voice into the phone.
"Euphemia!" Cornelia was shocked and quickly asked, "How are you?"
"Sister, I'm fine. Thanks to Mr. Sei Itō, we're safe for now. We're waiting for the Britannia's army to rescue us, "Euphemia explained.
"Sei Itō is there? I'm relieved. " When Cornelia heard Euphemia say that Sei Itō was there, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Give him the phone."
"Okay." Euphemia responded and then walked back with the phone. She handed the phone to Sei Itō and said, "Sister is looking for you."
Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and took the phone from Euphemia. He turned and walked to the side to answer the call. "What's the matter?"
"Please protect Sophie." Cornelia went straight to the point.
"Don't worry, I will." Sei Itō promised.
"Thank you." Cornelia thanked him sincerely. She then asked in a serious tone, "How's the situation over there?"
"I've taken care of the guards. The hostages are very quiet under Euphemia's comfort. As long as nothing happens, they're basically not in danger. Now they're just waiting for your rescue. " Sei Itō briefly explained the current situation and then asked, "When will your rescue arrive?"
"As long as there's no problem on your side, I can launch an attack immediately. I was worried that the other party would threaten us with the hostages. It's much more convenient with you here, "Cornelia said in a relaxed tone.
"Okay, you can do it. When the time comes, I'll take care of anyone who breaks in here, "Sei Itō said.
"Okay, I'll give the order now. We'll attack in about five minutes, "Cornelia said.
"Got it," Sei Itō replied, then hung up the phone and returned to Milei and the others. In an instant, the eyes of Euphemia, Milei, Shirley, Nina, and the surrounding hostages all fell on Sei Itō.
"Your sister said that we'll attack in five minutes. You have to stabilize everyone's emotions. I'll be responsible for cleaning up the Japanese Liberation Front members who may break in at any time," Sei Itō said.
"Great." Milei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Nina.
"Mhm." Nina nodded and also relaxed.
Five minutes wasn't a long time. It was just that the feeling of being in such a dull environment was prolonged, but it would eventually pass. However, the expected vibration didn't appear. Instead, a phone rang.
"Hello." Sei Itō frowned and took out his phone to answer.
"The plan will be delayed slightly. Zero has appeared and plans to go in to rescue the hostages. I want to take this opportunity to kill them all," Cornelia said.
"Up to you. But as long as they don't attack us, I won't take the initiative to attack. When the time comes, don't say that I'm not cooperating with you. After all, there are some things you don't want ordinary people to know," Sei Itō said lightly.
"Okay," Cornelia agreed.
"What's wrong?" Euphemia asked Sei Itō, who had put away his phone.
"Zero has appeared. Your sister plans to destroy him along with the Japanese Liberation Front. The attack is temporarily delayed," Sei Itō explained.
"Oh." Euphemia nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Mirei, who was standing at the side, sized up Ito Sei with curiosity in her eyes. From the conversation between Sei Itō and Euphemia, she knew that the call was from the Empire's Second Princess, Cornelia. However, from the tone of Sei Itō's conversation with Cornelia, she could tell that the two of them were talking as equals. Furthermore, Sei Itō was the stronger party. This was too unbelievable for Mi Lei.
"Sei Itō, who the hell are you?" Mi Lei curiously thought in her mind. At the same time, a thought popped up in her mind. Originally, the reason why she organized the student council to go on a trip was completely out of selfishness. She wanted to find someone to accompany her to relax. For the sake of the family's revival, her mother had been frequently arranging blind dates for her. Mi Lei was disgusted by this kind of political marriage from the bottom of her heart. However, as a member of the Ashford Family, she had no choice but to accept this arrangement. Now that the mysterious Sei Itō had appeared in front of her, perhaps she could use him to avoid the political marriage and complete the hope of the family's revival …
At this time, Sei Itō, who still didn't know that he had become someone's new hope of avoiding a political marriage, was leaning against the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest, quietly waiting for Cornelia to launch an attack.
A moment later, a violent tremor passed through the soles of his feet. Sei Itō raised his head and nodded at Euphemia who was also looking over. He got up and stood guard at the door.
"Everyone, the Britannia army has launched an attack. I believe that we will be rescued soon, so please try to remain as quiet as possible and peacefully wait for the rescue team to arrive …" Euphemia stood in front of the somewhat panicked crowd and comforted them.
At this moment, the door that had been tightly shut suddenly opened. Several men wearing uniforms similar to the boys of Ashford Academy suddenly rushed in with weapons in their hands. When they saw Sei Itō standing guard at the door, they were instinctively stunned and immediately raised their guns to aim at Sei Itō, ready to shoot.
The moment the man was about to pull the trigger, Sei Itō leaned his body slightly and reached up and down into the man's arms. Then, he twisted his hands and completely broke the man's arms, interrupting the man's action of pulling the trigger. Sei Itō then held the man with the broken arm in front of him and shouted, "Don't shoot if you don't want him to die."
"Sei Itō!" The other members shouted anxiously when they saw the hostage in Sei Itō's hands.
"Abominable Britanians!" cried one of the men.
"Don't forget why you're here." Sei Itō frowned and reminded them. He didn't want Lelouch's Black Knights to lose such a chance to appear on the stage. Without the Black Knights in the guise of justice, how could Lelouch resist Britannia? How could he start a war? Where could Sei Itō go to collect soul energy? If Lelouch hadn't rushed over at the beginning, it wouldn't have been so bad. Sei Itō believed that with his intelligence, he would have found a stage to appear on. Perhaps the effect wouldn't be as good as here, but it wouldn't affect the Black Knights' unity. But now that Lelouch had appeared, if Sei Itō still went to ruin his stage, although he could obtain an unknown amount of world energy, it was not worth it compared to the soul energy that was difficult to collect. It would also affect the prestige of Zero, who had just reached an agreement with the Resistance, and slow down the plot. This wasn't what Sei Itō wanted.
Upon hearing Sei Itō's reminder, the men who were still members of the Resistance were taken aback. They looked at each other, and then, under the signal of one of the more prestigious men, they organized the hostages in the room and began to move them out.
Milei, Shirley, Nina, Euphemia, and the others who received Ito Sei's signal also quietly followed behind the members of the resistance organization and walked out of the building.
