Xiao Ran slowly put down the cup in his hand and looked at Cornelia who was sitting firmly in her chair. He shook his head gently and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the 19th District. The only thing I know is that this place is currently in a very dangerous situation." "The 19th District has always been under your command.
"Your Highness Cornelia has always been in charge of the 19th District. As the governor, you have controlled everything and commanded the soldiers of the Empire to resist the war pressure from the EU and the rebel organizations. I think Your Highness Cornelia has done a great job. If it were someone else with outstanding ability, they wouldn't necessarily be able to maintain the current situation. Although it seems to be a disadvantage, you have also restrained the EU. More or less, you will be of help to the Empire's military. The longer you persist, the more you can reduce the military pressure on the other areas bordering the EU. From this point of view, Your Highness Cornelia has done a great job. I can't find any fault with your management of the 19th District. Perhaps even I can't do a better job than Your Highness Cornelia."
"I don't want to be the governor of District 19 either. To be frank, I prefer to return to District 11 and stay on the side of Her Highness Euphoria. War is not what I want to happen. I object to inflicting violence on those who have no strength to resist. Take NUMBER as an example, in your eyes, NUMBER is just NUMBER; however, in my eyes, NUMBER is as equal as us, not inferior people who only have numbers. I agree with Her Highness Euphoria on this point; however, Her Highness Cornelia is different from you. A governor who has too many things to deal with is not more attractive to me than changing District 11 with Her Highness Euphoria. So, I'm sorry."
Cornelia took a deep look at Xiao Ran. She was very surprised by Xiao Ran's answer. She had never thought that Xiao Ran would say something like this, and that he would be so indifferent to the position of the Governor of the 11th District, which was in charge of the military and political life and death of a district. However, it was as if it was natural for a person with great power to be so indifferent to power.
The whole dining hall was silent for a while. Then Cornelia suddenly asked in a deep voice, "What if His Majesty insists on making you the Governor of the 19th District?"
"I don't think it's possible. The main reason why I'm touring the districts is to thank His Majesty and Knight Bismarck for their appreciation of me, and for letting me become a Knight of the Round Table. I'm also willing to contribute some of my strength to the Empire and use this opportunity to stabilize the anxious situation in the Border Region of the Empire, and slightly suppress the rising prestige of the Bloody Knights in the Border Region."
"However, this doesn't mean that I'll do something I don't want to do. Becoming the Governor of the 19th District is meaningless to me. So far, becoming a Knight of the Round Table and coming here is more like a deal between the Empire and me. You're giving me a reward, not because I'm loyal to the Empire and the Emperor. On the contrary, I should be the one who's being used. No matter His Majesty or Bismarck, they're just using me. It's only because of my strength that they have to pay enough attention to me. Your Highness Cornelia, you should more or less see this."
"The only person I'm willing to follow is only Euphemia, because only Her Highness treats me with sincerity and has the same dream as me. I'm very happy to stay with Her Highness Euphemia. If I have to become the Governor of the 19th District, I'd rather leave the Knights of the Round Table and guard Her Highness Euphemia as a civilian."
"Euphemia …" Cornelia suddenly smiled and looked at Xiao Ran, "I'd like to thank you on behalf of Euphemia, Knight Euphemia. But if you become the Governor of the 19th District … Don't you think it's better for you to have a military force that's completely under your command?"
Xiao Ran slightly tilted his head and looked at Cornelia with squinted eyes, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about, Your Highness Cornelia."
"Luluxiu, the girl in Euphemia's place is called Nunnally, isn't she?" Cornelia stood up and took out a pistol from under the table. She pointed it at Xiao Ran and said with a cold face, "Luluxiu, Nunnally, I have an exiled brother and sister who became hostages in the 11th District a long time ago. However, they disappeared for unknown reasons. Now that Euphemia has become the Governor of the 11th District, a man named Luluxiu suddenly appeared and brought a girl named Nunnally into the Governor's Mansion. Coincidentally, Luluxiu dared not to show his real face and that girl named Nunnally is about the same age as my sister. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
Hearing Cornelia's words, Xiao Ran's mood didn't change much and he didn't show any surprise. He smiled leisurely and said, "Could it be that Your Highness Cornelia thinks that I'm the Luluxiu you're talking about and that Nunnally is the Nunnally you're talking about?"
Cornelia didn't say anything. She just stared at Xiao Ran and the trigger of her weapon was tightly held by her index finger.
Xiao Ran smiled and slowly took off his mask. He closed his eyes and faced Cornelia, "Your Highness Cornelia, what do you think? Am I the Luluxiu you're talking about? "
"Luluxiu might not be Luluxiu, but Nunnally is definitely Nunnally." Cornelia raised her gun and walked away from the table. She slowly walked towards Xiao Ran, "I never thought that you were the real Luluxiu, but you must have a very close relationship with the real Luluxiu. Otherwise, my sister Nunnally wouldn't have stayed in the Governor's Mansion because of your relationship. Luluxiu also wouldn't have entrusted Nunnally to you so easily."
Xiao Ran put on his mask again. He was wondering where the problem was, but he didn't want to keep denying it. He just asked, "Why?"
"Why did you discover this problem? Or why did you expose it?" Cornelia smiled and said, "It's just some intuition and some investigation. I often communicate with Euphemia and she told me about you two. A man named Luluxiu actually has a girl named Nunnally by his side. This made her feel that the world is full of coincidences. However, Euphemia has never suspected you, but I'm different. I will investigate anyone who suspects Euphemia."
"Your appearance is too much of a coincidence. The appearance of Nunnally and Luluxiu at the same time is also too much of a coincidence. I can't help but suspect some things. I was only suspecting at first, but you've given me a definite answer, haven't you?"
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled. Indeed, he had given Cornelia the most direct answer and the process was no longer important.
Cornelia said in a deep voice, "Tell me, Knight Luluxiu. Why do you use this name? What's your relationship with him? Are you the ones who caused Culovis's death?"
Xiao Ran shrugged and didn't answer Cornelia's question. Instead, he asked with a little interest, "I find it strange. Why did you bring this up? If you pretend not to know, it will be the most helpful for your current situation. "
"If it were you, would you be willing to have someone with an unknown motive lurking around you?" Cornelia raised the muzzle of her gun and threatened Xiao Ran. Then, she said, "Tell me, what's your answer? I don't want to waste any more time with you."
"Okay." Xiao Ran stood up and this action made Cornelia take two steps back to maintain the distance between her and Xiao Ran. She stared at Xiao Ran and was ready to pull the trigger at any time.
"As for the name, it's because my name in this world is Luluxiu. It's not that I want to use his name. Of course, I do know Luluxiu and we are now working closely together. As for Culovis's death, of course, it has nothing to do with me. As for the motive, hehe."
"Our motive is to let Nunnally or Euphemia become the emperor of Britaria and end the endless wars in Britaria so that this decadent Britaria can truly be reborn. In addition, Luluxiu also has some goals that need to be achieved and some questions that need to be answered. Are you satisfied with these answers, Your Highness Cornelia?"
Cornelia was stunned for a moment. She took another step back and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? You want to let Nunnally or Euphemia become the emperor?! "
Xiao Ran spread out his hands casually. "That's right. According to our plan, Nunnally and Euphemia may become the Queen of Britaria at the same time, or perhaps only one of them will become the Queen. Of course, we don't have a clear idea of what to do, but at least we can be sure that Charles must die and this country must change. The first step is to let Luluxiu become the emperor of Britaria and let him completely change this decadent country. He will attract all the hatred and conflict to himself and finally pass the throne to the two of them. The hatred and conflict will also disappear with Luluxiu's disappearance."
"I might as well tell you more. The real reason why I agreed to let Charles wander around the border regions is to use this mission to gain complete control of all the border regions that I have passed through. The 19th district was an accident. I never thought that I would come to the 19th district. But since I'm here, of course, the 19th district is also on my list."
"Do you want to know how I'm going to achieve my goal?" Xiao Ran slowly took off his mask and revealed his inhuman eyes before Cornelia. After seeing Xiao Ran's eyes, Cornelia held her breath. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. Her expression was complicated. Shock, panic, fear, and many other emotions mixed together.
In the next second, Cornelia wanted to pull the trigger and shoot this inhuman guy. But what made her even more terrified was that in fact, her finger was blocked by something and she couldn't pull the trigger at all. Her body was completely out of her control.
"Can't move?" Xiao Ran smiled and casually placed the mask on the table. Then, she walked up to Cornelia and grabbed the pistol in her hand. "It's good that you can't move because this is my ability to control others. Although this toy won't be a threat to me, it will be troublesome if it causes any commotion in this situation." Cornelia nodded and said, "That's right.
After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Cornelia's frightened eyes and laughed again. "What are you thinking? Why can't you make a sound? So what if you can make a sound? There is no one ambushing outside. There are only maids guarding the door. Why would I say these words? Isn't it because you only want to threaten me? That's why you only prepared a voice recorder in this room. "
Xiao Ran returned to the dining table and took out a small voice recorder from the vase on the table. With a light pinch, the voice recorder was directly crushed into pieces.
"It's strange that I know about this. It's nothing. The moment I entered this building, nothing could be hidden from me. I used a special power to scan this building thoroughly. It's clearer than an X-ray machine."
Xiao Ran walked to Cornelia again, sighed softly, and shook his head. "Actually, I didn't intend to use this special method to control you. After all, you are Euphemia's elder sister. I wanted to use other methods. It would be best if we could reach a cooperation. Even if I had to promise you some conditions to ensure your status and rights, it wouldn't be a problem."
"It's just that I wasn't impulsive, but you, who should be more steady, chose a method that you shouldn't have chosen. To be honest, it does make things a little difficult for me."
Xiao Ran was indeed helpless. He didn't want to use this method to forcefully control Cornelia. He said that he wanted to cooperate with Luluxiu. After all, once he and Luluxiu achieved their goal, Euphemia, who Cornelia cared about the most, would also be the most direct beneficiary. If they could negotiate properly, Cornelia might not necessarily refuse. But now, the problem was a little troublesome.
