Once again, Charles fell silent after hearing Cornelia's words. He slightly furrowed his brows and closed his eyes. Unknowingly, he exuded the tyrannical aura of a dictator. Cornelia, who was far away on the other side of the planet, subconsciously held her breath and slowly lowered her head.
After a long time, Charles slowly opened his eyes and said slowly in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
At this time, Cornelia didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of her father. She also felt a little guilty and guilty as if she had betrayed Charles. She seriously lowered her head and answered, "Your Majesty, the problem facing the 19th District is that we lack a high-level combatant who can truly threaten the EU and the rebel army. Now, the EU and the rebel army have completely surpassed us in terms of high-level combatants. If it weren't for the existence of Knight Luluxiu, perhaps they would have already launched an all-out attack on the 19th District. Once the enemy starts to attack, I'm not sure the 19th District can defend against them with our current military strength."
"Similarly, the enemy is also afraid of Knight Luluxiu's powerful strength, which forced them to take this action. They didn't dare to stay for long and chose to retreat. Even in the face of an empty defensive line, the enemy doesn't dare to move an inch forward. They even set up a 15-minute forbidden zone with the main base as the center. I've mentioned this before."
"The reason the enemy did this is that we have Knight Luluxiu, a super powerful combatant who can single-handedly change the entire situation. If Knight Luluxiu leaves, even if the Scarlet Knights send more reinforcements, they can only maintain the current situation. They can't do anything to help the EU and the rebel army. After all, we have the help of the Scarlet Knights, but the EU and the rebel army also have the help of powerful organizations. Even if the Scarlet Knights are strong enough to contend with the other two organizations at the same time, they can only protect themselves under the attack of the two organizations."
"With Knight Luluxiu in the 19th section, he will become the most powerful combatant in the 19th section. He will also become the biggest nightmare for the EU and the rebel army. He will also become the key to breaking the stalemate. With the Scarlet Knights joining us, the enemy won't dare to do anything too threatening to us because they have to constantly worry about Knight Luluxiu's retaliation. They can even use Knight Luluxiu's strength to gain more advantages and regain the territory we lost. Maybe they can even drive the EU out of this continent completely."
"Apart from his personal combat prowess, Knight Lelouch also displayed outstanding leadership skills. He was able to easily analyze the enemy's movements, the weakness of the defensive line, and even the possible plans and arrangements that the enemy might make. He also saw through the crucial plot of the enemy's current plan and made appropriate arrangements accordingly."
"Based on the current situation in the 19th section, although I recognize my own ability and have enough confidence in my own ability, I have to restrain my confidence in front of Knight Lelouch. Knight Lelouch is not only a powerful warrior, but also an excellent commander. What's more, he is a man who can lead his soldiers to victory on the frontline. I dare not say whether he deserves to be called the God of War, but based on his fighting ability, he deserves at least half of this title."
"In order to solve the terrible situation of the 19th section, regain the lost territory, and gain an advantage or even victory in the confrontation with the EU, we need someone like Knight Luluxiu to lead this area that is facing a great crisis. I believe that with Knight Luluxiu's ability, as long as he can lead the 19th section to become the governor of this place, he will definitely be able to change the current situation for the sake of glory and responsibility."
Charles let out a long hum and nodded gently. "Now the border area of the Empire is in chaos. The world's major forces and organizations are using all kinds of methods to target the Empire. It can be said that the Empire is in a precarious situation. The difficult battles and the situation have also caused some bad rumors within the Empire. The outside world also thinks that the Empire is about to fall. Now, we need a great victory to show the Empire's strength and shatter those rumors."
"Knight Luluxiu has his own mission, but it is not impossible to carry out this mission in the 19th section. I agree to let Knight Luluxiu stay in the 19th section, but not as the governor. Only you can be the governor of the 19th section. You can make him the deputy governor of the 19th section, but I have one request. One month. I will give you one month. Within one month, you must show me the results of keeping him in the 19th section."
Cornelia's face suddenly showed a surprised expression. She quickly put her hand on her chest and bowed. "Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your trust."
"Okay." Charles made a sound with his nose and said, "The Bloody Knights will come as soon as possible."
The screen turned black. Cornelia's face showed a rare expression of joy, but then she turned serious and walked out of the room where she was communicating with Charles. She directly ordered the adjutant who was guarding the door, "Call Knight Luluxiu to my office immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Half an hour later, Xiao Ran appeared in Cornelia's personal office. He saw Cornelia reviewing documents at her desk in the not so spacious space. Beside Cornelia, a man and a woman in military uniform were assisting her.
After seeing Xiao Ran come in, Cornelia raised her head and put down the pen in her hand. She nodded to her two subordinates and said, "You can leave now. I need to talk to Knight Luluxiu alone. Don't let anyone disturb us."
The two subordinates didn't think too much and didn't know the situation. After they stood up and responded, they saluted Xiao Ran and quickly left the office. After they walked out, they completely closed the door and left the office to Xiao Ran and Cornelia alone.
Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia who didn't have much expression on her face. He raised his eyebrows slightly and directly sat down on the chair in front of Cornelia's office. He crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the chair. He said leisurely, "What's wrong? You can't wait to see me after we haven't seen each other for a while? Or are you worried that I'll do something that will put you in a dilemma if I'm out of your sight for too long? "
Cornelia heard Xiao Ran's words and gently gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ran, "I'm not worried about what you'll do when I can't see you because I can't stop you from doing anything. I called you here to inform you that His Majesty Charles has just given a new order to the 19th."
"Oh?" Xiao Ran snorted and smiled faintly, "Don't tell me yet. Let me guess. The order must be for me to stay in the 19th to deal with the current situation here, right? And I won't be appointed as the Governor. But because of my ability and importance, I'll still be given some corresponding rights to control and command the battle. That is to say, I'm now the Deputy Governor?"
Cornelia gently bit her lower lip. Before she spoke, Xiao Ran continued, "In fact, it's not hard to guess. With Charles's dictatorship, it's impossible for him to make me the Governor. You already had this idea, but you acted faster than I thought. Not long ago, you realized that I didn't want to stay here. I also reminded you, but in less than a day, you went against my will and insisted on making me stay here."
Cornelia raised her head and stared straight at Xiao Ran, "I just want to solve the current problem in the 19th. If you can solve the current problem in a short time, no one will stop you from leaving. At that time, it's impossible for you to stay."
Xiao Ran shrugged indifferently and looked at Cornelia with a smirk. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you stay. Anyway, it won't affect my plan. But I have to remind you one last time, Cornelia. Don't try to stop me or delay my plan. It's completely meaningless." Cornelia nodded and smiled.
"In fact, as long as I want to, I can break into the Empire at any time. The Scarlet Knights alone have the ability to completely take over the Imperial Capital. The reason why I'm willing to go to the border region is that I don't want the border region of the Empire to be in chaos when the Imperial Capital is undergoing a huge change."
"As long as you think that the chaos at the border of the Imperium will not matter, and that the internal strife brought by the chaos will only grow fiercer and allow the enemy to seize such an opportunity to break through our defense line, I don't think there will be any problem. Even if we lose ninety percent of the Imperium's territory because of this incident and countless civilians and soldiers are sacrificed, I still have the ability to lead those who are willing to follow me to develop the new Imperium to an even greater extent with the remaining ten percent."
"Regarding this, I think you should trust that I have the ability to do so. So now, any step you take without the delay of betrayal will definitely cause this country to bear the consequences. However, are you really prepared to take on such a huge reform and sacrifice?"
"A smart approach. As a member of the royal family, the most important thing to do is to choose the most correct position in this irreversible situation, and then lead those who are willing to follow you to the side that will inevitably win. Only in this way can this country pass through the period of change in the fastest and most stable way, reduce the losses to the minimum, and then expand the success to the maximum."
Cornelia took a deep breath, stood up, and pressed her hands on the table. She leaned forward and glared at Xiao Ran. She gnashed her teeth and said, "I know I can't stop you from doing anything. I can't even do anything to betray you. I know I should stand on your side. My heart tells me so as well. But after all, I'm a member of the Imperial Family, the daughter of Charles, and the princess of the Empire. My rationality tells me that I can't just stand by and do nothing. This is the best I can do." Cornelia stared at Xiao Ran and gnashed her teeth.
"No matter what, the bloodline of the Imperial Family, at least … at least don't let me do it …"
"After the 19th District is stabilized, I don't care what you do, I won't interfere. I can help you stabilize the situation at the border, but don't let me get involved in this … Can you …?"
Xiao Ran watched as Cornelia's expression changed from firm to resistant, from resistant to complicated, and finally from complicated to weak. There was even a hint of pleading in her last sentence. Xiao Ran sighed softly and nodded to the woman who had given her virginity to him. He completely understood the complicated feelings of a child and the person involved. Charles was not only the Emperor she was loyal to, but also her father.
Unlike the others who were forced to serve him by GEASS, even if Cornelia was forced to serve Xiao Ran, Charles would still leave a deep impression in her heart as her father.
"I promise you, I won't let you do anything you don't want to do." Xiao Ran stood up and walked around the table. He sighed and gently pulled Cornelia into his arms. "It doesn't seem like it should be like this. I can completely control your thoughts and make you forget everything that's troubling you. But forget it. I'll help you stabilize the situation at the 19th District. Next, you just need to stand on the side of the Empire and maintain the stability at the border. Everything else will be left to Lelouch."
"Of course, no matter what, I can promise you that as long as Charles doesn't have a death wish, I won't threaten his life. I'm sure Lelouch will have the same idea. No matter how much hatred there is, Charles is still his father. I just hope you can maintain your current mindset after knowing Charles' true goal of ruling the world."
Cornelia obediently let Xiao Ran hug her and leaned on his chest. When she heard Xiao Ran's words, Cornelia looked up blankly. "True goal?"
"A futile attempt to become a god or slay a god is likely to lead the world in a direction that no one knows is good or bad. No, I should say that if he achieves his goal, there is a 99% chance that the world will completely collapse."
