"Welcome, Zero, welcome to the special administrative zone of Japan." While the others were still observing the development of the situation, Euphemia hurriedly ran a few steps forward and said happily to Zero, who was on the black Knightmare that was flying above her.
"Euphemia Brittania, come down, I have something to say." Zero said to Euphemia condescendingly on the knightmare.
"Tell me?" Euphemia repeated.
"Yes, just the two of us." Zero said. At this time, the knightmare slowly landed in front of Euphemia and half-knelt on the ground. Zero jumped down.
The nervous bodyguards on the side quickly rushed forward and surrounded Zero, taking out a detector to check Zero. After a while, the bodyguard in charge of the check said, "No weapons, Your Highness."
"Then this way please." Euphemia said as she reached out to lead the way.
"Your Highness Euphemia, it's dangerous to be alone with this man, at least take me with you." On the side, Suzaku Suzaku, who was Euphemia's close rider, pleaded.
"It's okay, please trust me." Euphemia looked at Suzaku Suzaku with a smile and comforted her. Then she walked into the back hall with Zero.
"I have to make a decision, to choose the soul energy of 200,000 people, or to choose to help a kind girl get rid of the curse and live in peace." Sei Itō looked at Euphemia and Zero's figures and frowned in thought.
Of course, if Euphemia had nothing to do with Sei Itō. Sei Itō would not hesitate to sit back and watch Euphemia be controlled by Luluxiu's geass, then order the slaughter of the Japanese people and get the soul energy of 200,000 people. But the problem now is that through Cornelia's relationship, Euphemia and Sei Itō have been in contact. Although the two are not very familiar with each other, at least their relationship is passable, and ordinary friends are definitely enough. What's more, there is Cornelia in the middle. Since Sei Itō came to this world, except for a few small things, the other side has helped him almost unconditionally. Although Sei Itō was in the name of a transaction at the beginning, Sei Itō did owe him a favor. For a Chinese soul, Sei Itō was very concerned about this. Therefore, whether it was because of Cornelia's favor or friendship with Euphemia, it was because of Sophia's friendship. Sei Itō could not sit back and watch Euphemia's final outcome. This was what he was conflicted about.
"Heh," Sei Itō let out a self-deprecating sneer a moment later. His expression returned to normal. It was clear that he had made a decision.
The moment Sei Itō made his decision, CC, who was kneeling in front of the Black Knightmare, suddenly trembled and knelt on the ground weakly. An extremely strong wave of energy erupted from her body.
"Is it starting to explode?" Sei Itō, who was attracted by the shockwave, thought to himself after seeing CC's situation.
On the other side, Vermillion Bird, who was about to have a good talk with CC, saw CC's sudden change and quickly ran over. He knelt down on one knee and grabbed CC's shoulders with both hands.
"Eh." Immediately after, the expression of the Black Wood Vermillion Bird that had been normal earlier immediately froze. Then, as if it had been drugged, it slowly fell backwards and fainted on the ground.
"Major Suzaku!" Zenia, one of Euphemia's bodyguards, exclaimed when she saw Suzaku fall to the ground. He quickly ran over. At the same time, the other two bodyguards surrounded CC and pointed their guns at the back of CC's head. "What did you do?"
However, Code, who was immediately blown away by CC, saw the unwillingness and resentment of countless people who died. Then, he screamed and fainted on the ground.
At the same time, Sei Itō's heart skipped a beat. A strange feeling emerged from Sei Itō's heart. After carefully sensing for a while, he whispered to himself, "Have I been controlled …"
Then, Sei Itō stood up from his seat under the strange gaze of all the guests and walked to the red carpet in the center of the rostrum. With his back facing the 200,000 Japanese people behind him, he quietly looked at the position of the doorway.
Soon, a running figure gradually emerged from the dark passage. It was Euphemia.
"It's just the soul energy of 200,000 people. This is not the only world at war. There will always be a chance to collect it in the future." Sei Itō took a deep breath, then quickly rushed to Euphemia's side before all the guests could react. He stretched out one hand and flicked Euphemia's forehead, causing her to faint instantly. At the same time, Sei Itō stretched out his hands and hugged the fainted Euphemia.
All these changes were clearly broadcasted live by the surrounding cameras and presented in the eyes of all the audience watching this historical moment …
"Wow" Seeing this sudden change, the people at the ceremony site immediately went into an uproar. Noisy discussions reverberated in the ceremony site.
"What are you doing, Your Excellency Sei Itō?" Sitting in the front row, one seat away from Euphemia, Andreas Dalton quickly stood up and questioned Sei Itō. Andreas was a member of Cornelia's Knights of Guards, the most trusted of confidants, so he knew very well what kind of person Sei Itō was. He just didn't expect Sei Itō to make a move on Euphemia.
"I'm just saving her." Sei Itō turned his head slightly and glanced at Andreas from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Zero finally ran out of the dark passage. When she saw the fainted Euphemia in Sei Itō's arms, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But when she saw Sei Itō, she was very surprised and didn't say anything.
"Zero, you finally met my requirements." Sei Itō said to Zero, who was standing at the door, surrounded by soldiers while holding Euphemia in his arms.
"What do you mean?" Zero didn't understand.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Take that woman and leave here first. I will find you later." Sei Itō said calmly.
"Hmph." Zero snorted coldly, but still obediently turned around and prepared to run to the knightmare. But the surrounding soldiers wouldn't let Zero go so easily. They quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
"This is troublesome. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, if I rashly use alchemy, it will alarm the collective will. It seems that I can only fight with my body." Ito Sei looked around and thought.
"Your Excellency Sei Itō, please explain your actions." Andreas stepped forward and questioned.
"I said, I am saving Euphemia." Sei Itō said calmly. Then he moved his arm, and the short gun in Euphemia's hand immediately fell into his hand. He then pressed it against Euphemia's neck. Sei Itō glanced at Andreas and said, "Let Zero go. He can't die yet."
"…" Andreas looked at Euphemia, who was being held in Sei Itō's arms and threatened with a gun. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "Let Zero go."
The surrounding soldiers quickly made a path for Zero to pass through. Zero immediately ran to the knightmare and used the rope ladder to return to the knightmare's cockpit. He then met up with CC inside.
"Who is that guy?" CC asked. This was also the question in Zero's mind.
"I don't know." Zero replied. Then the knightmare quickly rose into the sky under the combined control of the two.
"Tell Cornelia that I am taking Euphemia away. If there are any problems, tell her to come to me directly." Sei Itō saw that Zero had left. He held the gun against Euphemia and walked out while saying to Andreas, "As for the Nippon Special District, you can do as you see fit. If you like it, then build it. If you don't, then destroy it. I look forward to your choice, Knight Andreas."
Just like that, Sei Itō calmly left the Special Administrative District under the gaze of the surrounding people and the audience in front of TV and computer screens.
"Sir Andreas, what about the special district's Nippon ceremony?" An official in charge of etiquette walked up to Andreas and asked in a low voice.
"The ceremony will be postponed. Everything will be decided by the governor." Andreas immediately said. Then he took his soldiers and quickly rushed back to the governor's mansion in the Tokyo Concession. The other guests were led out of the venue by the surrounding staff through a special passage. As for the 200,000 Nippon, the Britannia soldiers didn't care about them. So they just announced that the ceremony would be postponed and the specific date would be notified later. Then they left …
In an instant, the 200,000 Nippon were in an uproar as they discussed the day's events. However, the views could be generally divided into two factions. One faction believed that Her Highness Euphemia was kidnapped and that the ceremony should be postponed. The other faction believed that Sei Itō was a Britannia supporter. Otherwise, how could a guy that no one knew sit in the front row? And he knew the scar-faced knight and was called sir. So it must be that the Britannia royal family didn't agree with Her Highness Euphemia's policy and arranged for such a person to fool everyone. Britannia couldn't be trusted.
This kind of talk was quickly spread by the Nippon who left the venue. Then it was spread by the Black Knights' Dilluhart who had ulterior motives and Zero's acquiescence. Then it was instigated by a certain hot-headed guy. A large number of Nippon rioted and completely leaned towards the Black Knights.
"Thank you very much, Sei Itō." Seeing the results, Zero secretly said in her mind. Then she began to arrange the publicity activities and formulate the battle plan.
