GEASS。
As one of the core settings of the entire story, it had unlimited possibilities and unimaginable abilities. After Charles was killed by Ray Mingkai in the C world, the CODE ability he possessed was transferred to Euphemia. Most of the GEASS that existed in the world and was related to Charles and V.V. had disappeared.
However, there were still some remnants in the shadows.
Lolo, who was lured out by Ray Mingkai's simple trick, was one of them.
It was so easy to capture Lolo, who occupied an important place in the original timeline.
Ray Mingkai did not know whether to be grateful or to laugh at those people hiding in the shadows.
No.
Looking at Lolo, who was sitting in the dark, Ray Mingkai thought of another possibility.
That was the group of people hiding in the shadows who were extremely superstitious about the power of GEASS. They were confident that they had the ability to freeze the biological time of their target. Lolo, who had succeeded repeatedly, would definitely be able to complete the mission.
However, they did not know that when Ray Mingkai saw the list of reserve personnel, he had already seen through the nature of Lolo, who looked harmless on the outside, but was actually a ruthless killer.
"Your Highness. Is there really such a terrifying power in this world? "
Even after experiencing the time freeze caused by Lolo's GEASS, the illusory feeling still lingered in Viretta's mind.
"Didn't you just experience GEASS?"
Ray Mingkai looked at the brown beauty's doubtful face and nodded slightly.
Viretta moved her lips, but still shook her head.
"Even so, I still don't have the slightest sense of reality. It's just that when it happened, my consciousness stopped. By the time I recovered, I already saw the scene of the Lionheart Knight training model being knocked to the ground by Lord Sacred Beast. "
"That's inevitable. If Kai and I did not share the same fate, I'm afraid he would not be able to escape from that strange ability. "
As the White Cat's voice sounded, its figure appeared on Ray Mingkai's shoulder.
It glanced at Lolo, who had yet to make a move, before turning back to look at Viretta.
"Do you want to have such power too?"
Viretta was stunned. She didn't react for a moment, but she quickly shook her head.
"No. Lord Sacred Beast. Although GEASS sounded very powerful, everything had its limits. To be able to obtain such terrifying power, I'm afraid that there must be even more stringent requirements, right? "
After a pause, Viretta voiced her final thoughts.
"Moreover, I don't think I have the aptitude and qualifications to obtain this power."
"It's a good thing to recognize your own abilities. Furthermore, Uffi … Her Majesty still hasn't figured out how to deal with this power. "
Ray Mingkai was very satisfied with Viretta's calmness when faced with the choice of power.
"Your Majesty?"
Viretta looked at Ray Mingkai in surprise.
She detected a trace of truth from Ray Mingkai's words.
Could it be that Her Majesty Euphemia could bestow this power to others?!
"En. Viretta. Since you have already come into contact with GEASS, then you should also have the qualifications to know the truth. However, once you take this step, it means that you can no longer retreat and leave my side. "
Ray Mingkai stared at Viretta. Since the moment they met in District 11, the brown beauty's fate had been completely reversed. He slowly placed the choice in front of her face.
To Ray Mingkai's surprise, the brown beauty did not show any hesitation. With a solemn face, she bowed slightly to Ray Mingkai and performed a Knight's salute.
"Your Highness. Whether it is the grace of saving my life or the grace of recognizing my worth, it is enough for me, Viretta Nu, to offer my unparalleled loyalty to Your Highness. Therefore, I am willing to give my life and … my … heart for Your Highness! "
At the end of her speech, Veletta's face blushed a deep shade of red.
However, because Viretta lowered her head to salute Ray Mingkai, Ray Mingkai did not see this seductive scene.
However, Ray Mingkai had already heard the hidden feelings in the last half of Viretta's trembling voice.
Ray Mingkai let Viretta stand up straight again and reached out his right hand to push Viretta's scattered ponytail behind her back. At the same time, he softly told a secret that was still unknown to people.
"The 98th emperor of the Britannia Empire, Charles DI Britannia, is not missing. He was personally killed by me in the origin of GEASS – the world of GEASS."
"What?"
Although Ray Mingkai's voice was gentle, in Viretta's ears, it was as terrifying as a bolt from the blue.
In shock, the brown beauty subconsciously took half a step back.
Then, the shock on the brown beauty's face receded like the tide, leaving only a trace of calmness and determination.
She gently exhaled, and her eyes were full of relief.
"Your Highness. Viretta Nu will follow Your Highness until death! "
Ray Mingkai looked at Viretta's performance and nodded slightly.
"Among the nobles, and even among the common people, I'm afraid there are all kinds of rumors, right?"
Euphemia's success in ascending the throne not only shattered the illusion of many of Charles's descendants, but also shattered the future of many nobles.
Especially when Euphemia announced the reform and used the power of the empire to march into the deep space, the nobles who had their power taken away from them hated it even more.
In this case, all kinds of rumors were considered light.
Heavy ones …
Wasn't Rollo, who was isolated in a small dark room, a new example?
"Yes."
Viretta responded.
"In fact, since the establishment of the Royal Guards Knight Regiment, I have received no less than a thousand reports. The most common one is about the previous emperor being put under house arrest by Your Highness, and the rumors that he used his male charms to bewitch Her Majesty Euphemia. "
Viretta, who spoke of the rumors she received, carefully looked at Ray Mingkai's face.
As a result, Ray Mingkai did not show any abnormalities, but the White Cat rolled on the ground laughing.
"Hahahahaha!! Hahahahaha!! I'm dying of laughter!! "
"Guy used a male voice to bewitch Euphemia?! Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter!! "
In the pure white fluff that kept rolling on the ground without a trace of dust, was a kitten that kept twisting its body as it laughed.
"Hahahaha! Who is the one bewitching who? If it wasn't for Guy's timely appearance, I'm afraid Euphemia … "
"What's so funny?"
The wild laughter of the White Cat stopped abruptly.
It turned out that Ray Mingkai had unceremoniously twisted the Gate of Destiny behind the White Cat's neck.
"Meow ~"
The White Cat, whose neck was twisted by Ray Mingkai, instantly changed its face and meowed weakly. It did not have the fierce appearance of the Empire's sacred beast.
"Although it is a rumor, it is the truth. Viretta. "
The White Cat's words were still echoing in Viretta's mind, and she did not react for a while.
"Viretta? Viretta? What are you thinking? "
It wasn't until Lei Mingkai called out to her a few times that Velletta finally realized what was going on.
However, Viretta, who reacted, shifted her attention to other places.
For example, the sentence that the White Cat mentioned just now …
"Recently, I saw a confidential royal document about an assassination attempt on Her Majesty Euphemia during a trip a few years ago. Although the report did not say that Her Majesty Euphemia was harmed in any way, a large part of the content was intentionally deleted … "
Under the silver-gray bangs, was a pair of eyes that shone with the light of gossip.
Ray Mingkai did not know what Viretta was thinking at the moment, but Viretta's attitude showed that she did not care, and even forgot what Ray Mingkai said just now.
Was this a woman's nature of gossip?
Or was it Viretta's way of showing her loyalty?
Or both.
Ray Mingkai pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell Viretta about his first encounter with Euphemia.
Both of them understood that from this moment on, Viretta Nu could no longer escape from Ray Mingkai's palm.
At the same time, in the side hall of the palace.
Euphemia, who had changed out of her royal robe to disguise herself, was receiving Schonetzel who had come to seek an audience.
"Royal brother. Long time no see! Looks like you've been doing well recently! "
Euphemia sat on the main seat, looking at her second royal brother who had rushed from the royal courtyard to the palace.
"Thank you for your care, Your Majesty! After getting rid of the busy work, I indeed have a lot more time to cultivate and recuperate. "
Schonetzel knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Get up! Royal brother. This is just a conversation between siblings. "
Euphemia did not intend to continue with the formalities between a ruler and a subject, but directly let Schonetzel get up and sit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As Schonetzel sat down, he was surreptitiously assessing Euphemia's expression.
In the end, he discovered that Euphemia was not as worried about the assassination attempt on the Prince as the outside world had said.
Moreover, the sharp-eyed Schonetzel had noticed something else.
Euphemia did not mind his gaze, and instead looked at him calmly.
"Royal brother! May I know why you're here today? "
"Your Majesty. I heard that the Prince had been assassinated. Being in the royal courtyard, I did not know what the situation was, and in my worry, I could only personally request an audience with Your Majesty. "
"Oh? Is that so? How thoughtful of you, royal brother! The Prince is fine, but he needs some time to recuperate. "
Euphemia smiled, and then a look of scrutiny appeared in her eyes.
"And, royal brother, you've come at just the right time! Right now, I need you to make an appearance. "
Schonetzel was taken aback, and then he felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty. What are you talking about? "
Euphemia's expression turned serious, and she said in a clear voice.
"Due to the assassination attempt on the Prince, he is temporarily unable to take charge of all matters of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, so royal sister Cornelia has temporarily taken over all matters of the Knight Regiment."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
To be in charge of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, one must have a close relationship with Her Majesty the Empress.
Apart from Ray Mingkai, it was Cornelia, the Second Princess with illustrious military achievements.
"In addition, as royal sister Cornelia has to take over all matters of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, she is temporarily unable to take care of matters related to the Empire's Prime Minister, so I will have to trouble royal brother to take charge of the Empire's Prime Minister for a period of time."
"Your Majesty is wise! Wait … wait! "
After Schonetzel subconsciously responded, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have agreed to something incredible.
"Your Majesty wants me to take charge of the Empire's Prime Minister again?!"
"What's wrong with that? Could it be that royal brother is now used to a leisurely and beautiful life, and is no longer willing to contribute to the Empire's prosperity? "
Euphemia looked at the rare look of surprise on Schonetzel's face and smiled softly.
In truth, Schonetzel's visit this time was not only to obtain information about Ray Mingkai, but also to prove to Euphemia that he wasn't the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Ray Mingkai.
It must be known that Schonetzel, who had been in the Imperial Courtyard for a long time, hadn't interfered in matters related to the Empire for a very long time.
However, Schonetzel's declaration didn't receive Euphemia's understanding. Instead, Euphemia suddenly used the reason that Cornelia couldn't take care of the Empire's affairs to push Schonetzel back to the position of Prime Minister.
This left Schonetzel unable to make a choice for the time being.
"Your Majesty …"
"Royal brother, are you still unwilling to do your part for the Empire?"
Before Schonetzel could say anything, Euphemia mercilessly cut him off.
Although the words were spoken softly, Schonetzel could feel the enormous pressure coming from the Empress.
In that instant, Schonetzel could clearly sense that the Third Princess, who had once affectionately called him 'royal brother' and who was viewed by many members of the Imperial Family and even himself as a vase, was no longer a simple and naive girl. Instead, she was moving towards maturity, becoming an Empress worthy of the title of Emperor.
Under this pressure, Schonetzel subconsciously got up and once again knelt before the Empress.
He paused between each word, enunciating each word clearly in response to the Empress's command.
"Yes! Your Majesty! If this is what you wish for!! "
The Empress looked down at her royal brother kneeling on the ground, nodded slightly, and then lifted her gaze to look in the direction of the audience room.
"Mm. In that case, I hope to see the Prime Minister personally step into the room tomorrow! "
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
* Ka … * Rumble. *
The slowly closing palace doors pulled Schonetzel's thoughts back to reality.
When he came back to his senses, he discovered that his fingers, which were already showing signs of obesity, were still trembling slightly. He subconsciously clenched his fists and smiled wryly.
"This feeling, this pressure … I've only personally experienced it when facing the 98th Emperor, Father Emperor Charles, right?"
