Alone

Chapter 2352 Chapter 2377-2378 Alone

Xiao Ran left the crowded hall and walked up the stairs to the Governor's Mansion's higher place. Vireta led the way and Jeremiah followed behind.

Xiao Ran's behavior just now can only be described as reckless in Jeremiah's opinion. When he brought Xiao Ran here, he never thought that people in the entire circle would be so negative towards Xiao Ran. Of course, he himself was also in a situation of being ostracized because of the two things that happened before, but it was even more impossible to expect that Xiao Ran would express his position in such a direct way and give those people an extremely shocking response.

In his opinion, Xiao Ran should not be such a person. After the initial contact, Xiao Ran should be a more rational, deeper person, very mysterious and powerful, not the kind of passionate middle school boy. Who knows that Xiao Ran has done something even more terrifying than the middle school boy.

After leaving the hall, Jeremiah quickly ran two steps to catch up with Xiao Ran and whispered, "Teacher, why did you do this just now?"

"You think it's inappropriate?" Xiao Ran turned his head to face Jeremiah's direction, which also made Jeremiah feel Xiao Ran's eyes sweeping over him. After a moment of silence, Jeremiah said, "No, it's just that in this situation, more people will be dissatisfied with the teacher."

"Their dissatisfaction doesn't matter, why they ostracize me doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if they continue to ostracize me in the future." Xiao Ran turned back and said calmly, "The important thing is to ensure the stability of Area 11 amid the current dramatic changes, to ensure the smooth transfer of power, and to successfully gather all the rights of Area 11 in the hands of the governor."

"Because their dissatisfaction with me affects their respect for Governor Euphemia. This is no reason. Even if they are not arrogant to the governor on the surface, no one knows what they are thinking in their hearts. Euphemia Princess's identity I can only allow these people to maintain their basic respect in name. My concession will ultimately make these people disobey Governor Euphemia's orders, doubt Governor Euphemia's ability, and even feel that they are weak and can be bullied."

"In general, the governor is Princess, but after all, the deterrence and prestige are insufficient. He was just a person before and had no experience in personally managing the numbered area. This is something everyone can know. It will also make some people think that Euphemia is just a Princess who is not taken seriously."

"Many people may be thinking that even if Princess becomes the governor now, they will never be able to do without their management of Area 11. They will think that the current rights are what they deserve, and the governor should rely on them. This mentality is unacceptable."

"And since they are already dissatisfied, I find it troublesome and unnecessary to eliminate their dissatisfaction in a short period of time, so I simply let them wake up and understand that they are just servants of the Royal Family. Let their dissatisfaction turn into fear, into fear of power and superiors, and let them understand that this is just a warning to them. Smart people will naturally understand."

"Those who don't understand, and those who continue to exclude, once the governor takes over all the power, of course these people will be labeled as unusable and all replaced. It is right to seek stability and integration, but this stability should not be obtained by Euphemia's concessions, not to mention that Euphemia's subsequent policy direction will definitely cause great waves, and there will be more resistance by then."

"So it is better to try to eliminate all these resistances from the beginning and let the remaining people become supporters of Euphemia. Now this is a good opportunity for those fools to take the initiative to stand up and shout out."

"And it won't take too long. Imperial Headquarters should send someone to take over Deputy Governor's position to assist Euphemia. This is a facilitator and an observer. I have studied the situation of each numbered area. The governors of all numbered areas are all the emperor's children, but This position is not completely stable, and will be replaced if the ability is insufficient, so in order to avoid this situation, it is best to concentrate all the rights in your own hands before the new Deputy Governor takes office, so that Euphemia's position can be truly secure."

Xiao Ran stood in front of a double door and turned to look at Jeremiah: "Now, you should be regarded as a direct descendant of Euphemia. At the same time, your position and future rights and interests will be closely related to Euphemia. You must know what you should do now."

"Yes, I understand." Jeremiah lowered his head slightly and said, "I will strengthen my influence on the military as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded and said with a deep voice, "Inform the heads of each department in Area 11 that the front and deputy are separated and let them go to different places. Just say that the governor will talk to them after the takeover ceremony. It shouldn't be that troublesome to find two conference rooms in this Governor's Mansion."

Jeremiah and Vireta were stunned when they heard Xiao Ran's arrangement. Xiao Ran had completely bypassed Euphemia in issuing orders and arrangements. Speaking of which, this was not the right that the guardian knight should have.

"I will tell Euphemia about this. Her position was not right. It was because of an accident that she changed from the mascot-like Deputy Governor to the official governor. If we cannot take this opportunity today to completely suppress most people and turn them into an iron bucket, these people will only become another trouble in the future."

After saying that, Xiao Ran ignored Jeremiah and glanced at Vireta: "The governor is inside?"

"Yes."

Xiao Ran nodded, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. Within a few seconds, the door in front of him was opened directly, and Euphemia appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes. At this time, Euphemia was no longer dressed in the more civilian style before. She put on a noble and elegant purple backless dress and a long-sleeved vest. She stood in front of Xiao Ran with a sad look on her face.

Euphemia was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Ran, but he quickly realized who the man in the white knight uniform and mask was. After seeing Xiao Ran, a faint surprise flashed through his original sadness, and then he quickly took a step back. "Mr. Xiao Ran, you are here."

Although Euphemia already knew from Xiao Ran that this guy called himself Lelouch Xiao, the title Mr. Xiao Ran had already taken root in her heart and she was used to it, so she just called out this title.

"Governor." Xiao Ran stroked his chest and bent slightly, raised his head and reminded, "Euphemia, at least there is no need to call me Mr. Xiao Ran on formal occasions."

Euphemia pursed his lips and nodded. "Mr. Knight, please come in."

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and glanced at Jeremiah: "Go and inform the people below that the Governor will go down soon. In addition, he will do his best to collect all the information about Area 19 for me, especially what happened today. Leave it to me in detail."

Jeremiah and Vireta followed the order and left. Xiao Ran also walked into the door and closed it. He turned around and saw Euphemia pulling up her long skirt and sitting on the only big bed in the room. The room was also very large, occupying almost a quarter of the floor area, and the decoration style was also extremely gorgeous.

Euphemia put his hands together on his lower abdomen, sat on the bed and lowered his head and said softly, "This was originally Brother Clovis's room. All his things have been collected and shipped back to the country. It should also be where Sister Cornelia should live."

Xiao Ran did not pay too much attention to the decoration in the room, but walked directly to Euphemia on the bed. "But now this place belongs to you, and you have become the governor of Area 11."

Euphemia lowered his head. "Originally, the governor should not be mine, but Sister Cornelia's. She was injured. She was seriously injured. There is no way she could be the governor here. Area 11, the situation over there has changed. It was very unstable. My father asked her to recuperate on the spot and stay there to calm the situation there, so I became the governor of Area 11. Originally, I only came to this place because of Sister Cornelia, but now..."

"It all happened so suddenly. I never thought it would be like this. I never thought I would become the governor of Area 11. I didn't want Sister Cornelia to get hurt, let alone become the governor here. I don't know what to do now..."

Xiao Ran looked at the young girl in front of her who was depressed and a little sad because her sister with whom she had a good relationship was injured. She was a little confused because she suddenly became the governor. She was silent for a moment and slowly spoke, "Raise your head, Euphemia."

Euphemia raised her head, and Xiao Ran could even see the tears in her eyes. After sighing softly, Xiao Ran said, "No matter what, you are the governor here now. Princess Cornelia is just injured. So now Medical Technology can completely heal the damage, so you don't have to worry too much. I also know from Jeremiah that although the situation there has changed, the country has also sent more support to Area 19, so the situation there may not change any more in a short time."

"And once there are irreversible changes, Princess Cornelia, as Princess, will naturally make a reasonable judgment. Even if he chooses to evacuate, he will be the first batch of people to evacuate. In addition, after this incident, various security forces will definitely become more numerous, and there is no need to worry too much about safety issues."

"Euphemia, you should cheer up now and do what a governor should do, hide your sadness and sadness, and show everyone that you have the ability to become a governor. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, but I will help you and do my best to help you complete your mission to Area 11 Under the control of, you can only do more if you secure this position. Otherwise, if you become the governor of Area 11, you will lose this status tomorrow and can only return to your country to be a good princess, and you will no longer be able to do anything you want."

Euphemia bit his lower lip gently and looked at Xiao Ran with tears in his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you supposed to comfort me now? Is what you said considered comfort?"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "In my opinion, it should be considered a comfort, but I think what the strong and beautiful Euphemia needs at this time is not more comfort, but the courage to be able to handle everything now, and the courage to make everyone surrender."

Euphemia pursed his lips slightly and looked at Xiao Ran with a weak and overwhelmed look. "But I don't know what to do."

Although the previous Euphemia was a Princess, apart from this identity, he was just a student. Originally, he was Deputy Governor because of his relationship with Cornelia, so it was impossible for him to have any rights, and he had never been exposed to the things that he must be exposed to now. It was natural that he didn't know what to do before his emotions were sorted out.

Xiao Ran half-knelt down and closed the distance between himself and Euphemia: "I think if you are really worried about Princess Cornelia, then you might as well send Area 11 is completely in her own hands, so if Area 19's war gets into trouble and Princess Cornelia is implicated, this place can be her final destination and your paradise."

"And didn't we agree that we should work together to make Area 11 more peaceful and that everyone can get along with each other equally in Area 11? If you give up now, how can we reach our agreement?"

Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran and lowered his head again, and Xiao Ran followed the gaze of Euphemia's lowered head and saw the white bulging part of the chest that was not covered by the long skirt. He then withdrew his gaze and said steadily, "There are already many people below waiting for the Governor to go down. If you want to be a real Governor instead of a mascot and signboard, then you should go down now and use your identity, rights and status to completely subdue these people."

"You are the governor of Princess, Area 11, and the master of them all. For those below, don't care who they are or what they look like. Think of them as puppies and rabbits, and make them obedient little pets. Or use them as backgrounds. Go out and meet for a few words. Then you can come back and have a good rest. I will handle the rest."

"Don't be afraid or worry. When you get up tomorrow, you will see me standing by your side. Everything will basically be over by then. They will also help you achieve Area 11 everyone's coexistence according to your ideas. If they are disobedient little pets, just send them back to the country. After all, you are the master, right?"

Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran who was half-kneeling. Although it was impossible to see Xiao Ran's expression clearly through the mask, the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth did make her His heart calmed down a lot. He covered his mouth and smiled softly. He said softly with tears in his smile, "You can't say that to them anymore. After all, most of them are nobles and high-ranking officials in the empire. If they hear it, it will definitely bring you trouble."

"If you want to talk about trouble, it has just appeared. Before I came up, I already taught a person who didn't respect you enough." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "And I don't care what these people think or what trouble they will bring me. I am here just because of you."

Euphemia was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly reached out and touched the mask on Xiao Ran's face. "You... under the mask, can you take it off and let me see?"
