Xiao Ran slowly raised his hand to hold Euphemia's wrist, and moved her hand away from the mask. The lens of the mask blocked the two people's direct sight, so that Euphemia could not see Xiao Ran's eyes, but it allowed Xiao Ran to see the confusion revealed in Euphemia's eyes.
"No." Xiao Ran finally said two words softly, and then said after a moment of silence, "My eyes will scare you, they are not eyes that humans should have."
After saying that, Xiao Ran stood up and continued to say to Euphemia, "Your Highness, it's time to go down and meet those ministers."
Euphemia retracted his hand in a daze, paused for a moment before nodding his head, and turned his gaze away. "Really? Will it be a pair of scary eyes?"
"At least it will be like this for most people." Xiao Ran said calmly, "Because of genetic problems, these eyes will be regarded as monsters rather than humans, so Your Highness, I hope you can allow me to maintain this persistence."
"I understand." Euphemia stood up and smiled gently at Xiao Ran: "But I won't mind, because you are my knight and you are standing here to protect me, so I will not be afraid of your eyes, no matter what they look like. I will wait for you to be ready and let me see the real you."
Xiao Ran looked at Euphemia and nodded silently without saying anything, but the meaning of this action was not necessarily what Euphemia thought.
"Let's go, Mr. Knight." Euphemia was obviously a little happy when he saw Xiao Ran nodding. He wiped the corners of his eyes and straightened his skirt, raised his head high and walked towards The door of the room was closed. Xiao Ran also walked to the door first, opened the door and accompanied Euphemia downstairs, slowly walking into the hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Ever since Xiao Ran entered and left the hall, the atmosphere in this place has always been a bit dull. After Xiao Ran left, although there were still many people shouting about Xiao Ran's arrogance, but no one dared to bring Euphemia into their words. They were just indignant at Xiao Ran's rudeness. Xiao Ran dared to hit people unscrupulously on this occasion.
The unconscious man has been dragged away, and the ground has been cleaned. The person who dragged the guy away was the other person in the abandoned gymnasium who had his machine cut into sticks by Xiao Ran in addition to Jeremiah. Although there were only a few people, these people were also the same as Lloyd and the Archon. Those who remained silent until the end, and looked at Xiao Ran with fear and admiration, were also the few people in the entire hall who still kept their heads clear. After all, after knowing how powerful Xiao Ran was, and the power that was simply irresistible, they had no way not to respect Xiao Ran.
If it were only a little stronger and used the machine's performance advantages to crush them, they would be dissatisfied, unhappy, jealous and unwilling. But when the power of Xiao Ran completely eclipses their worlds, everything will turn into respect, respect for the strong.
Euphemia appeared on the stage, and once again everyone's eyes were focused on Euphemia and Xiao Ran behind her. When everyone looked at Euphemia, they expressed their concern for the bloodline and governor of the Royal Family The respect of this position, but for His Highness Euphemia, Princess, the only two things that can make others respect him are blood status and position. But when he looks at Xiao Ran, his eyes are much more complicated, but fear and fear occupy the most parts.
Euphemia calmly walked to the middle of the hall, his hands gently clenched into fists, with a solemn and firm look on his face. However, in Xiao Ran's opinion, Euphemia had never really managed a party facing so many ministers at the same time. Although her face appeared to be quite calm, from some small movements, it seemed that her heart was not as it appeared on the outside. The tension and uneasiness still existed in her heart.
When Euphemia's footsteps stopped, all those people surrounding Euphemia held their chests and bent down, shouting at the same time with respectful voices, "I have seen the Governor."
Euphemia took a deep breath, and her chest rose slightly twice. She suddenly felt a special force coming out of her heart, which made her feel warm and calmed her down. She said loudly, "My lords, I am Euphemia·LI·Britannia. From today on, I will serve as the governor of Area 11."
"Although my ability to become the governor of Area 11 is just the result of a series of accidents, I am also ready to become the governor to lead Area 11 to a more prosperous road. I believe that with the support of the ministers and our joint efforts, such accidents will become less and less until they no longer occur, and together we can make Area 11 even better."
"No matter what happens in other regions, the empire has always been developing and growing. As Area 11, which has stabilized, we also have the responsibility and obligation to develop ourselves stronger and make more preparations to support other regions at any time..."
The few words of her speech made Xiao Ran understand that Euphemia was not really prepared at this time. The so-called interview was basically equivalent to a simple speech. Euphemia's speech was not perfect, but this was the most she could say now, and in this situation. What he must stand up and say can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the military. Not only now, Euphemia will also need to accept the factual broadcast by Area 11 TV station later and give a formal speech again. However, by that time, someone will naturally prepare Euphemia's speech.
But if Cornelia were to come here, the most he would do would be an acting speech on TV. In situations like this, he would probably not say anything. One meeting could simply take all the rights into his own hands. Standing here is the best guarantee of stability and the highest representative of rights. This is the authority of Cornelia, but the current Euphemia is absolutely unable to do this.
However, Euphemia is very smart. She did not speak out her thoughts and governing philosophy directly at this time, because she knew very well that speaking out at this time would only cause waves and opposition. Butalia people have complete contempt for the people in the numbered area. Now is the critical moment for the transfer of power, so she has done a very good job not to cause unnecessary opposition.
Without saying a few words, Euphemia turned his body sideways and completely exposed Xiao Ran behind him. He raised his right hand slightly and introduced to everyone, "This is my exclusive guardian knight, and will also be my only one." The knight of one, Lelouch Xiao, from today on, he will also become my spokesperson. At the same time, he will start to form my own Guard Force and will become the sole commander of Guard Force."
Because of the identity of Euphemia, before Xiao Ran was added, everyone was shocked. At least on this point, no one stood up to object. After all, with the identity of Euphemia, a person had to be appointed. Whether it is his own knight, or whether he lets his knights establish a new Guard Force, these are all personal matters of Euphemia. From the position of the minister, no one present has the qualification to object.
However, just after the voice of Euphemia fell, a voice still sounded, coming from the direction of the door of the hall and reaching the ears of everyone present.
Hearing this voice, Euphemia was stunned for a moment, but his face was obviously a little unhappy. He puffed his mouth slightly and stared in the direction of the sound. Xiao Ran also looked in the same direction, and his brows were slightly wrinkled under the mask.
At this time, three people who looked relatively clean but had tired faces walked in quickly. They looked dusty and looked like they had been on the road for a long time.
And when Euphemia saw clearly the leading man among the three, wearing glasses and wearing a red uniform, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little surprised. "Guildford Qing?"
Although the bespectacled man named Guildford looked dusty, his hair was meticulously arranged and had a long ponytail. He walked up to Euphemia and caressed his chest with a look of respect. Waist: "Your Highness Euphemia Princess, Princess Cornelia asked me to say hello to His Highness Euphemia Princess."
"Get up quickly." Euphemia raised her hand gently. Judging from her actions and expression, she seemed to be very familiar with this guy named Guildford, and asked, "Why are you here? Where is sister? Is sister here too? How is her injury?"
"Princess Cornelia is still recovering at Area 19. The injury is not too serious. However, due to the sudden change of the situation over there, Princess Cornelia cannot perform his duties at Area 11." Guildford stood up straight, pushed up his glasses and looked at Xiao Ran He glanced in the direction of, his eyes indifferent as if he didn't take Xiao Ran into his eyes at all, and said, "Princess Cornelia is worried about Princess Euphemia's safety, so he specially sent me to protect and assist Princess Euphemia, and ordered me to establish Guard Force belonging to His Highness and directly lead it."
It was said that he was here to protect, but the fact was that Cornelia cared too much about Euphemia, and was even more worried about Euphemia's lack of ability and prestige. Even when he was injured and needed manpower, he still sent his capable subordinates over. They said they were assisting and protecting, but in fact they wanted to stand behind Euphemia to integrate and manage the entire Area 11.
"Is it sister's arrangement?" Euphemia was stunned for a moment after hearing Guildford's words, and unconsciously looked at Xiao Ran, who was standing behind him and could not see his expression clearly under the mask.
Others, especially those who were already dissatisfied and repelled by Xiao Ran, once again showed relaxed and comfortable expressions on their faces, looking in the direction of Xiao Ran with rather interesting eyes.
At this time, Xiao Ran, apart from frowning for a moment, was really expressionless and very calm. Even though he had never thought that a guy would jump out to cause trouble in this situation, there was no fluctuation or change in his expression because of this.
When Lloyd saw the current scene, he continued to lean against the pillar and squinted his eyes and chuckled. His eyes shifted back and forth between Xiao Ran, Guildford, and Euphemia. He seemed to be saying to himself in a very, very small voice. "It's interesting. The next thing should be very interesting."
Cecil, who was standing next to Lloyd, didn't hear clearly what Lloyd was saying to himself. He glanced at Lloyd and then looked at Xiao Ran and Euphemia, a flash of worry flashed in his eyes. This is real worry. Although the reason may not be sufficient, Cecil, a person who has only had short contact with Xiao Ran, is willing to stand on Xiao Ran's side.
The big boss consul of Military Court frowned and looked at Guildford who suddenly jumped out without concealing his dissatisfaction. However, Xiao Ran did not express anything, and the consul who was completely loyal to Xiao Ran continued to remain silent.
There are not many people who stand on the side of Xiao Ran, but in addition to the above three people, Jeremiah is also on the side of Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran is not only his teacher, but also his biggest supporter in Area 11, who can help him wash away the shame brought to him. A more powerful person, and the Guard Force chief who was once the prince of Clovis, although he said that he had made a lot of mistakes, he was not officially demoted. His status was a bit lower than that of Cornelia's Guard Force chief, but his authority at this time was exactly the same.
Jeremiah frowned and walked over directly, saying in a deep voice, "Captain Guildford, as a member of Guard Force, I think you do not have the right to make arrangements for Princess Euphemia's Guard Force, and you are not qualified to command the Guard Force of other Royal Family members except Princess Cornelia."
"It's you, ORANGE. Your story has spread throughout the entire empire." Guildford glanced at Jeremiah mockingly, without concealing his disdain and contempt, and said, "Just in time, I also brought my country's arrangements for you. Either you can start over as a pilot, or you can go back to the countryside to plant oranges."
"You!" Jeremiah gritted his teeth and looked at Guildford, but he didn't know what words to use to refute the other party's ridicule and triggering.
"I want to know who gave this order." The consul suddenly stood up. As Area 11 Military Court's highest official, Area 11 no soldier could punish or deal with him. Of course, he also has the qualifications to stand up and ask such questions. The consul also understood clearly that Guildford was probably here to deliberately find trouble, and Jeremiah was also from Xiao Ran's side. If he didn't stand up and refute a few words now, the situation would completely shift to Guildford's side.
Guildford looked at the consul who stood up. For this consul who was much older than himself and was also considered a high-ranking aristocrat of the country and a high-ranking official, he also restrained his arrogance a little and saluted to the consul. Then he said, "It's the Moyasu consul of Military Court. This order was personally issued by Princess Cornelia before I came here. The official documents from the empire will be issued soon."
The consul said with a straight face, "That is to say, the document has not been released yet, and even if it is released, it must be reviewed and reviewed by Area 11 Military Court before the final sentence can be pronounced, whether it is demoted to a civilian or demoted. level, Military Court also needs to undergo a formal review. Captain Guildford is not an official of Area 11. Isn't the cross-district punishment for our district officials a bit excessive?"
