Xiao Ran had never thought that his blatant arrangement and bribing would not be known by Euphemia. In this world, especially for the Britalia Empire, there were many admirable things about the Britalia Empire, namely the loyalty of the subjects to the imperial family. As the governor of the 11th district and a member of the imperial family, even if some people were not loyal to Euphemia, there would still be people who would reveal Xiao Ran's arrangements to Euphemia bit by bit. Furthermore, these things were no longer a secret.
Perhaps, the words that Xiao Ran spoke to those people yesterday, as well as his performance yesterday, had already appeared in front of the case of the Britannia Empire's Emperor. Perhaps, a large group of people were analyzing his every move and every word he said.
Although he knew that he might attract unnecessary attention, Xiao Ran still chose to do so without hesitation because he didn't care about that at all. He wasn't afraid that Euphemia would know what he had done. Instead, according to the current situation, he did this in order to control the 11th district as soon as possible and to help Euphemia stabilize her current position.
At least, Xiao Ran didn't have any selfishness in what he did at night. He did it for the sake of Euphemia. If Euphemia was really estranged from him because of this matter, Xiao Ran would naturally hide behind the scenes. From a common point of view, he had indeed crossed the line this time. He would also admit this point. Additionally, he would not give up helping Euphemia and change his attitude towards Euphemia. He would still help her achieve her dream of changing the 11th district and protect this kind-hearted girl.
Xiao Ran wouldn't be dissatisfied or disappointed because of distrust. They had only known each other for a short period of time and Euphemia's trust in him had already exceeded the norm. Why should she express her trust in Xiao Ran wholeheartedly? Xiao Ran wouldn't be immature about this. What Xiao Ran was doing now was just helping Euphemia to solve some small problems within the scope of his ability. The trust he had invested in Euphemia wasn't enough to repay her trust. Based on Xiao Ran's style, he would at least let Euphemia completely control the 11th district.
However, he had no choice but to secretly do things that Euphemia couldn't know about. He would also secretly bribe and control most of the officials in the 11th district to gain complete control of the 11th district. He would create his own body and build a team that was completely loyal to him. When that time came, he would have no choice but to deceive this kind-hearted girl and turn her into a real puppet princess.
However, if Euphemia was willing to trust him, Xiao Ran wouldn't choose to hide many things from Euphemia. He would also slowly reveal some things to Euphemia when the time was right. He would exchange sincerity for sincerity, teach Euphemia more things by example, and let her choose whether she wanted to grow up or not. However, Xiao Ran didn't want this girl's kind and gentle heart to be tainted by external factors no matter what.
Euphemia didn't mind at all. She told Xiao Ran everything and sincerely thanked him. Her trust in Xiao Ran didn't decrease at all. She didn't show any dissatisfaction when she heard from others that Xiao Ran had overstepped his boundaries at night. She also didn't hide the fact that she knew everything. This made Xiao Ran more optimistic about this girl, but at the same time, he was more worried about her.
Although Xiao Ran hoped that this girl would continue to trust him in fact, he was worried that this girl trusted others too easily. Although Xiao Ran wanted to take things slowly and influence Euphemia bit by bit to achieve his goal, time and the current situation of this world didn't allow Xiao Ran to do so. No matter whether Euphemia's trust in him would decrease or not, there were some things that Xiao Ran had to do and try to do.
For Euphemia, of course, she was willing to believe in Xiao Ran. Euphemia already knew everything that happened at night from Villeta. But even without Villeta, Euphemia would still know everything that Xiao Ran said in the meeting room downstairs.
However, Xiao Ran made some promises using her name and 'deceived' all the high-ranking officials of District 11 into pledging their allegiance. Even if it was something that normal royal family members would think was very excessive, it was not in Euphemia's eyes at all. Euphemia, who judged others' actions and thoughts based on their good intentions, felt that Xiao Ran was clearing the biggest obstacle for her to let the Japanese and Britarians live in harmony in District 11. He was also helping her to quickly gain control of District 11, and it only took him one night.
After Xiao Ran comforted her to sleep, he was still scheming with the high-ranking officials to make them support her and help her rebuild District 11. Xiao Ran did all this for her. In fact, it was something that she should do, but Xiao Ran had already done it for her. What Xiao Ran said and did made Euphemia very happy. She was very willing to help Xiao Ran fulfill his promises. She was so naive and kind that she didn't look like a royal princess, but more like a pure white girl who had lived in a fairy tale since childhood.
Therefore, Euphemia decided that she couldn't let Xiao Ran block all the wind and rain alone. She didn't want Cornelia to send people to help her and govern District 11 according to other people's ideas. She didn't want to become a puppet princess who didn't understand anything. She wanted to work hard with Xiao Ran and make District 11 better with her and Xiao Ran's common ideas.
Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran and said in a very serious tone, "I know that Mr. Xiao Ran is doing this for my good. Everything you've done is to help me. Without Mr. Xiao Ran, those people in District 11 wouldn't have believed me so easily and agreed to rebuild District 11 together. At that time, Sister Cornelia would have sent Gilbert to take over most of District 11's authority. Although they would respect me on the surface, they wouldn't change District 11 according to my ideas. That would make it more difficult for me to do what I want."
"Therefore, I've never thought of blaming Xiao Ran. I believe in Mr. Xiao Ran."
"You …" Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, "Aren't you too trusting?"
Euphemia tilted her head and smiled, "But Mr. Xiao Ran, you've already lent me your power. The only thing I can do is to trust you. I also believe that Mr. Xiao Ran won't lie to me, right?"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, "That's right. So if you believe in me, I will definitely not betray your trust."
"I'm looking forward to it." Euphoria laughed out loud. She took a deep breath and clasped her hands in front of her. With a serious look on her face, she said, "Then, Mr. Knight, you should go and bring back the captain of my guards. You can get to know the captain of my guards during breakfast because I still have a lot of things that I need Mr. Knight's advice on."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Ran left in a hurry in a helicopter and came back in a hurry. When she left and came back, there were four of them. Li Lina was sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a knitted sunhat, Zhao was wearing casual clothes, and a black wig in a maid's uniform with a little makeup on her head.
The helicopter landed in the courtyard in front of the Governor's Mansion, and the four of them walked into the Governor's Mansion together.
Li Lina wore a hat, a maid costume in a completely different style, and a wig and makeup might not be able to completely cover their identities, but at least it wasn't completely useless. It was basically impossible to tell their original appearances.
Even though Chui didn't know any of the four major evil arts, she was once an idol, and her role in the team was basically half pilot, half assassin, and half agent, so it wasn't difficult for her to disguise herself. Xiao Ran basically took the initiative to expose Li Lina, the other explosive point of the team.
If someone was really interested in the people around Xiao Ran, then the first person to notice would definitely be Li Lina, who had an extraordinary identity, followed by Rooki Nosuo, who would often appear by Euphoria's side in the future as the captain of the guards and the affairs officer.
The reason why Li Lina was dressed like this was because she had completely succumbed to Yu's super strong martial strength. A dignified witch was actually unable to put up any resistance under the suppression of a little girl's martial strength. She could only passively, humiliatingly, and sorrowfully be transformed into a maid. She couldn't bear it. But so what if she couldn't bear it? Was she going to have her head blown off and be dragged into the governor's mansion like luggage? Or was she going to be sealed in a container and only released when she was remembered?
If that was the case, then disguising herself as a maid wouldn't be so unbearable. Besides, there were plenty of servants in the Governor's Mansion, so she could live like a salted fish without any ambitions. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat? As for taking care of Li Lina, she would leave it to someone else. She really didn't have the talent for taking care of others, but if they could play together, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Li Lina didn't know where she was currently. She only learned from Xiao Ran that she would be going to a better place for treatment, and that she would be able to receive better care there. Li Lina naturally didn't object to this arrangement, but it wasn't because she wanted to receive better care. Instead, it was because Xiao Ran had asked her to come here, so she would come with him. Furthermore, she didn't want to burden Xiao Ran, that was all.
Li Lina's identity couldn't be hidden from Euphemia, and it was only a matter of time before she was exposed.
Of course, it was possible that they wouldn't meet for a few days, but perhaps as long as they met, Euphemia might or might not recognize her. This was because Li Lina had been away from the Britannia Empire's royal family for too long, so long that she had grown from a child to a young lady.
Once Li Lina's identity was exposed, it would seem to bring some small troubles to Xiao Ran's future plans, Lelouch, and even Xiao Ran himself. Just like Lelouch Xiao's fake name, Xiao Ran would have more troubles that he didn't need to face originally.
However, Xiao Ran didn't have enough manpower and he had to have complete control. And now, Euphemia was another crucial part of his plan, so he had no choice but to bring her to the Governor Mansion. Since he had made this choice, he had naturally considered the consequences of bringing them to the Governor Mansion.
Xiao Ran could totally accept the consequences. Besides, since he didn't intend to deceive Euphemia, Xiao Ran would naturally let Euphemia know more about some things as they interacted with Euphemia. The reason why a plan was called a plan was because it hadn't been implemented yet. But as long as Xiao Ran could move forward and achieve his goal, all plans could be adjusted.
Xiao Ran pushed Li Lina's wheelchair into the governor-general's manor, and the steward of the governor-general's manor soon appeared before her. He looked at Xiao Ran and the three people behind her, and said in a respectful manner, "My Lady, all of the rooms you requested have been prepared. Her Highness is already waiting in the dining hall."
Xiao Ran nodded and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go to the dining hall then."
"Please follow me."
The housekeeper of the Governor-General's Mansion was a woman in her thirties. She had a slender figure and was methodical in her speech and actions. However, she wasn't the housekeeper that Culovis used when he lived here. Instead, she was an attendant who had been taking care of Euphoria. However, when Euphoria became the owner of this mansion, she also became the housekeeper of this mansion.
However, this butler didn't recognize Li Lina, who was also a daughter of the Royal Family. This had a lot to do with Li Lina's experiences and wasn't known to outsiders at all.
Li Lina maintained a smile on her face and after hearing the words' Her Highness', the smile on her face froze. She closed her eyes and raised her hand as though she was searching for something. However, Ryukino gently held her hand and said, "It's alright, Li Lina. Trust me, okay? No matter what, you have to trust me, okay?"
