On the other side, in Ito Sei's house, Euphemia was lying on the bed as if she was sleeping soundly …
"Sei Itō, you should leave now. You have kidnapped the princess. If you don't leave now, the military will be here." Velletta was standing behind Sei Itō and said to Sei Itō anxiously.
"It's fine." Sei Itō said calmly.
"But you're holding the princess hostage!" Velletta hurriedly reminded him.
"Don't worry." Ito Sei turned around and walked to Veletta's side. He patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing screech of brakes sounded from outside the house, followed by a series of 'bang bang bang' sounds of car doors closing. Then, a dozen soldiers in red Brittanian knight uniforms escorted Cornelia out of the car. Cornelia was wearing a dark red dress.
"Sei Itō, hide!" Velretta had already walked to the window of the bedroom when she heard the screeching of the brakes. When she saw Cornelia and the others, she hurriedly ran over and grabbed Ito Sei's arm. She said anxiously.
"I told you, I'm fine. Don't worry. " Sei Itō was touched when he saw how worried Velletta was. He patted the back of Velletta's hand and comforted her gently.
"Bang!" A muffled sound of a wooden plank breaking came from downstairs.
"Sei Itō, come out!" Cornelia shouted angrily from downstairs.
"Looks like we can't hide anymore." Velletta's expression changed as she let go of Sei Itō's arm. It became quiet.
"Stay here and look after Euphemia. Call me if she wakes up. I'll go downstairs to deal with the rest." Sei Itō smiled at Velletta and walked out of the room to the living room downstairs.
"Sei Itō, you bastard! What did you do to Euphemia?" Cornelia saw Sei Itō. She took out her gun and pointed it at Sei Itō.
"Cornelia, if you want Euphemia to return to normal, you better be quiet." Ito Sei frowned as he walked down the stairs. He shouted at Cornelia unhappily.
"What do you mean?" When Cornelia heard Sei Itō mention Euphemia, she suppressed her anger and asked in a deep voice.
"She's lying on the bed upstairs. She's fine for now, but she might not be fine when she wakes up. " Sei Itō ignored Cornelia's gun and walked past her. He went to the sofa in the living room and sat down under the watchful eyes of the four knights who followed Cornelia into the living room.
Seeing this, Cornelia put away the book in her hand and sat opposite to Ito Sei. She looked at Ito Sei and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by what you said just now?"
"It's complicated for you, so I can't explain it to you right now. I can only tell you that Euphemia's mental state is unstable right now. It is very likely that she will do something that does not comply with her own will, causing some serious consequences for her, so for her own good, I knocked her out at the ceremony venue and brought her back. "Ito Sei explained simply.
"You're saying that Zero did something to Sophie," Cornelia speculated.
"Yes." Sei Itō nodded.
"Then why did you let Zero go at that time?!" Cornelia stood up from the sofa when she heard Sei Itō's confession. She questioned Sei Itō angrily.
"Because I need Zero's help. He has to stay alive before I finish my task." Sei Itō looked at Cornelia calmly and said in a flat tone.
They looked at each other quietly. After a while, Cornelia sat down on the sofa and asked Ito Sei, "What about Sophie?" "What about Sophie?" Hearing Ito Sei's words, Cornelia asked.
"That's why I asked Andelias to inform you to come here." Sei Itō saw that Cornelia had calmed down. He said.
But Sei Itō didn't continue. Instead, he looked at the knights behind Cornelia. Cornelia knew that Sei Itō wanted to talk to her alone. She ordered the knights behind her, "You guys go out first."
"Yes, my Lord." The four knights saluted with their right hand and left the room one after another.
"Euphemia's problem is simple, but it's also troublesome." After the four knights left, Sei Itō continued to say to Cornelia, "If it's just a normal life, you can take Euphemia away as soon as she wakes up. But from then on, she can't enter Japan again. She can't hear others talking about Japan. She can't hear the word 'Japan'. She can't think about Japan. Otherwise, she might have problems at any time."
Cornelia frowned, but she didn't interrupt Sei Itō's statement. She continued to listen quietly.
"But if you want Euphemia to return to her normal life, you need to use another method. This method is simple for me, but it's a bit difficult for you." Sei Itō looked at Cornelia who was staring at him and said, "That is, I have to take Euphemia away from this world and then treat her …"
"…" Cornelia frowned and fell into deep thought. She had some guesses about the world Sei Itō was talking about. Otherwise, where did the people who disappeared in EU and Britannia go? What would they do with those supplies? But knowing was one thing. Hearing Sei Itō personally confirm it was still very shocking and unbelievable. But this wasn't important now. What was important was her choice. Should she let Euphemia live a limited life, or let her live an unlimited life without any restrictions?
Time slowly passed in this oppressive silence …
"Sei Itō, Her Highness Euphemia has woken up." At this moment, Veletta, who was supposed to take care of Euphemia, ran out of the room, leaned out from the second floor, and shouted to Sei Itō downstairs.
"You said Euphemia has woken up!?" Cornelia immediately woke up from her deep thought when she heard Euphemia's name. She got up and shouted at Veletta.
"Yes, yes." Veletta was startled by Cornelia's reaction and stuttered.
"Bring me up to take a look," Cornelia ordered Veletta. Then, she hurriedly walked up to the second floor.
"Yes, Your Highness." Veletta, of course, knew who Cornelia was. She quickly responded and brought Cornelia to Euphemia's room. Behind the two of them was Ito Sei, who also walked up.
"Euphemia." As soon as the door opened, Cornelia, who had just entered the room, called out to Euphemia who was sitting up on the bed.
"Sister? Where is this? " Euphemia looked at Cornelia in surprise. Then, she looked at the layout of the room and asked curiously.
"How are you?" Cornelia walked to Euphemia's bedside and sat down. She grabbed Euphemia's hand and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Euphemia shook her head. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly asked Cornelia. "Sister, today's … Ah …"
But before she could finish her sentence, Euphemia immediately screamed in pain. She hugged her head with both hands, and her face was full of pain. Her body bent forward.
"I don't want to do this, I don't want to …" Euphemia said in a struggling tone.
"Euphemia! Euphemia! "Cornelia looked at Euphemia's painful expression and quickly shouted.
"Japanese, kill all the Japanese!" At this time, Euphemia, who failed to resist, suddenly raised her head and looked at Cornelia with a pair of red eyes.
"Euphemia?!" Cornelia exclaimed in disbelief as she looked at Euphemia in shock.
At this time, Sei Itō, who was standing on the side, quickly came to Euphemia's bedside and slashed her neck with his hand, knocking her out again.
After knocking out Euphemia, Sei Itō turned around and said to Cornelia who was sitting on the bed, "Did you see that?"
“zero！” Looking at Euphemia's appearance, Cornelia clenched her white-gloved hands and roared with a ferocious expression.
"Your Highness Cornelia." Suddenly, Guilford, who was Cornelia's close rider, shouted from outside the door.
"Speak." Cornelia said coldly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, I just received information that the Black Knights have launched an attack on Japan." Guilford said quickly with a serious expression.
"What about Andelias?" Cornelia stood up from the bed and looked at Guilford and asked.
"He has already led his men to support him." Guilford said.
"Good. Pass down my order. Gather all the troops. I want to eliminate the Black Knights." Cornelia said with a ferocious expression.
"Yes, your highness." Guilford replied sternly, then turned around and quickly left the room.
"Sei Itō, I'll leave Euphemia to you for the time being." Cornelia said to Sei Itō with a sincere expression.
"If you still can't make a choice, then you should take Euphemia with you, because I will also be leaving here in a while." Sei Itō said.
"Okay." Cornelia frowned and looked at Sei Itō. She could roughly guess what he was going to do, so she nodded after a moment of silence. Cornelia walked to the bed, bent over, and carried the unconscious Euphemia out of the room. Then, with a slight hum of the car engine, he left Ito Sei's house and sped away.
"Phew, that scared me to death." After Cornelia and the others left, Villeta let out a long sigh and patted her chest with lingering fear.
Sei Itō looked at Villeta and smiled silently. He then said to Villeta, "The law and order will be chaotic for the next two days. Be careful when you're at home."
"Are you leaving too?" Villeta asked.
"Yes." Sei Itō nodded.
"Then you should be careful too." Villeta said softly.
"I know." Sei Itō smiled and nodded. "I'm leaving too. Be careful."
Then, under Villeta's gaze, he drove the limousine back to the Nippon Highway.
