Two people with malicious intentions and their own plans sat together. This Britannia, right under the nose of Britannia Emperor Charles, talked about the topic of overthrowing the country so casually. If outsiders heard this, neither Xiao Ran nor Schneizel, who was the prince, would have any good results.
And even Schneizel himself didn't react, and didn't realize why he was so easily distracted by Xiao Ran on the topic. But now Schneizel's heart has been completely messed up, and he was messed up by what Xiao Ran said.
"Crimson Knights, Rebel Army, Area 11 Euphemia, Area 19 Cornelia, Rebel Army, also There is Black Knights, special..." Schneizel looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment. "These... you mean these powers all belong to Lelouch, and that Pendragon..."
"That's right." Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "These powers belong to Your Highness Lelouch. He is the only commander of Black Knights at present. Since the Pendragon belongs to Black Knights, it is naturally Your Highness Lelouch's power. Pendragon alone is enough to suppress all Military Strength of Britannia, not to mention the core strength of Crimson Knights, Rebel Army, plus the support of two NUMBERs, one big and one small, and special technical support."
"Britannia has no way of resisting us with the current strength. Once we start taking action, this country and even the entire country will fall into our hands in an instant. Your Highness Schneizel, I wonder how you can achieve this step with the strength in your hands compared to us?"
"With your ability, you are enough to become the great steward of this country, just like you are now the prime minister of the empire, but you will have greater rights. I admire the ability you have always shown. Compared to the dictatorial and iron-blooded person Charles, you have more value for cooperation, such as If you are willing to join us, you will work with Cornelia to develop this country better. You are a talent. I don't want to see talents with such ability choose to go against us and eventually fall into ruin, but it is not necessary for you."
"Your willingness to join us only makes it easier for us to accept everything in this country, but without you, we can still suppress all opposing voices with powerful force. Moreover, with the help of Cornelia, it is enough to suppress many voices."
Schneizel was experiencing great ups and downs in his heart at this time. He admitted what Xiao Ran said. If it was really like what Xiao Ran said, now Lelouch's subordinates actually have so many terrifying powers, and With the support of Cornelia and Euphemia, it won't be too difficult for Coup d'état to suppress those opposing voices. In fact, all that really needs to be done is to pull Charles down and imprison him. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not.
However, how could that Lelouch possess such terrifying and powerful power? How did he do it?
As for whether what Xiao Ran said is true or false, there is no need to doubt or investigate. With Schneizel's eyesight and IQ, he will not doubt it too much. It can be easily exposed if it is false. It is very simple to confirm what Xiao Ran said. You can know it without taking any action and waiting to see.
Since Xiao Ran can say these things without any disguise, it means that Xiao Ran has enough confidence, and it has reached the level that even if it is leaked, it will not have any impact, so maybe he will not be able to wait too long to see the day when Charles is pulled down, or it will be today, or tomorrow,
Schneizel admitted that if Lelouch really had such powerful power as Xiao Ran's dictation, Charles would indeed have no chance of betraying him, and Schneizel would also not have any chance, and Xiao Ran didn't seem to worry at all that he would leak the conversation in the car. This confident look also made Schneizel smartly aware that if he did not agree but chose to refuse, the consequences could be imagined, but Schneizel could not imagine what the consequences would be. Although he did not care that much about his own life, if his life was exchanged for greater interests, Schneizel was the one who could definitely make the exchange.
But now, Xiao Ran's proposal makes him feel very interesting. It is impossible to become an emperor, but in addition to the emperor's position, he can also get the rights of the emperor. This allows him to get a lot of revenge in his heart, but Lelouch will impose many restrictions on him if he becomes the emperor.
Schneizel was silent for a long time, and Xiao Ran did not disturb his thinking. However, Schneizel might have figured something out in his mind, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "You just said that there is no emperor's position, but he has the emperor's rights. How to explain this?"
"I know very well what kind of person you are, at least your nature is clearer than most people." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "If you can become the emperor, it will not be a bad thing for this country. You seem to be kind and stable on the surface, and you can become a good ruler. But the premise of all this is that there is no existence that blocks your path. Those NUMBER can also have a better life under your rule, because this can make the country you rule more stable and united."
"But you and Charles are the same in some respects. He wants to rely on force to seize the entire world. You also need strong power to shock the entire world. Your methods and ideas are much gentler, but this is also because doing so can meet the goals and interests you want to see. You have the means, the ability is good, and the scheming is appropriate. The only thing missing is a sense of humanity."
"If there ever comes a day when a person like you has to make a decision, you will be the guy who presses the World Destruction button without hesitation, because your interests come first and you have no human emotions. Just because of this, you are not qualified to be an emperor in my eyes, so someone must restrain you and use your abilities to a normal level."
"Your Highness Lelouch, my ability to manage the country is indeed not as good as yours, and my in-depth understanding of this country is not as good as yours. I have the potential of a king, but I don't know how long it will take to become a qualified king, so I really need someone like you to assist me."
"Oh, human nature?" Schneizel seemed to be mocking himself. "Then the Lelouch you are loyal to has such human nature? Black Knights, ZERO is him, right? He can kiss himself You will feel that such a person has humanity when his brothers kill him. Also, as a king, you don't need something as fragile as humanity. To lead a country and lead the entire country to become stronger and better, all you need is strength, scheming, and rules."
Xiao Ran shook his head. "You are right, the leader of a country needs to be strong, whether it is strength or heart, and also needs enough wisdom, but human nature is also indispensable. This is not a weakness but a shining point. It is not a bad thing to lead a country with rules, Lelouch did do some things, but at least now he still has something he cares about to maintain his humanity. Nanalie, Nanalie is his biggest weakness, but it is also his biggest strength. The existence of Nanalie prevents him from ever becoming a truly indifferent person."
"Besides, when did I say that the person who can sit in that position for a long time is Your Highness Lelouch." Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness Lelouch becoming the emperor will only be a transition, and Emperor Lelouch will inevitably die. In the punishment of Black Knights, the person who will eventually become the emperor will be Nanalie who has come out of the pain and hopes that the tragedy of war will never happen again in this world, and Euphemia who has always wanted to Peace and Co-Prosperity the entire country."
"Two queens, plus me and Cornelia, the balance of the two queens, the balance of one civil and one military, hahaha." Schneizel took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass with a trembling hand and drank it all, laughing loudly, "Excellent A plan with excellent scheming. A person who can formulate such a plan can attract the hatred of the entire world, and eventually fake his death and be reborn as ZERO, becoming the person who truly checks and balances and rules the world behind the scenes. Such a plan is not something that my stupid brother can think of."
"So you are the one who made this plan. It's really enviable for that guy to get your help. So how should I call you, Lelouch Knights of the Round."
"Xiao Ran."
Schneizel nodded and stared at Xiao Ran very seriously. "Knight Xiao Ran, these are your plans, then what do you want to get from this plan? World peace, so great?"
Xiao Ran said leisurely, "You will know, after all, the precious things in this world are not just power, interests, and money, but there are always some people who have dreams and ideas in their hearts. This may be something you cannot understand. After all, in your eyes, interests outweigh everything."
"Huh." Schneizel exhaled a long breath. He couldn't see clearly what Xiao Ran wanted, and what good it would do to him. Maybe it was just like what Xiao Ran said, some people had things in their hearts that he couldn't understand.
Schneizel shook his head and asked, "When were you planning to take action?"
Xiao Ran said, "Soon, but since I know the news from you that Charles is preparing to deal with me, it doesn't have much to do with taking action today. It's a bit anxious but it won't have much impact."
Knowing from Schneizel that Charles was preparing to deal with him, and sending Bismark to Area 11 was indeed a bit sudden. It is definitely impossible to say that there would be no impact from taking early action, no. However, it is not as big as imagined. After all, the coordination and arrangement required for the operation are not much at all. All operations will be carried out by participants with extremely strong execution ability and powerful power. Even if they just capture the palace and Charles, it can be said that half of the success is achieved.
Next, Cornelia expressed support at Area 19, which suppressed a number of voices of resistance. If Schneizel also supported it at the same time, the rest would be easier.
As for the arrangements made by Xiao Ran, now that Crimson Knights has returned to the capital, they can take action at any time. Although the machine body was seriously damaged on the battlefield of Africa's mainland, there are still usable machines, and there must be spare machines. What's more, not only are they entering the capital at this time, Not only Crimson Knights, but also Roaring Lion Legion entered the capital under the arrangement of Xiao Ran. As long as Xiao Ran gave an order, the participants of the two legions began to take action, and the gods and gods and Buddhas could easily suppress all the important facilities in the capital.
Schneizel has completely calmed down. "Haha, okay, if you can do this today, then I will not hesitate to stand up and declare my support for Lelouch. All my previous preparations must be done by you by then. If you want me to join you and help Lelouch manage this country, then at least let me see with my own eyes whether you have this ability."
He didn't say what would happen if Xiao Ran couldn't do it, but he probably knew what the outcome would be without further explanation. He would definitely sell Xiao Ran without hesitation and clear away all relations with Xiao Ran, or he would kill both Xiao Ran and Charles at the same time.
Xiao Ran smiled and understood what Schneizel meant. He did not care about the other party's thoughts and words. Instead, he took out his communicator and sent a few messages to inform Selucius and Corgi to take action in advance.
After doing all this, Xiao Ran took the communicator back, closed his eyes and leaned on his back and started to doze off. He had no intention of continuing to talk. It was not until the motorcade entered the palace and stopped in front of the Charles hall that Xiao Ran opened his eyes and Schneizel stepped out of the car one after another.
As soon as he got off the car, Xiao Ran felt a lot of eyes on him, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. Luciano, who got off the car with Bismark, did not find anything surprising. He stood outside the main hall and put away all his usual playful smiles, but nodded solemnly to Xiao Ran, waiting for the emperor's summons.
Four important figures, Xiao Ran, Schneizel, Bismark, and Luciano, stood outside the main hall door. After the person who informed them returned, the four people walked into the main hall together. Perhaps each of the four people It's an actor. Xiao Ran has a calm smile under the mask, Schneizel has a gentle smile, Bismark has seriousness, and Luciano has seriousness. I don't know how much of the expressions on the four people's faces are disguises and how much are real.
Passing through the long corridor and countless guards, Xiao Ran once again saw the curly-haired Charles, tall, cold and majestic, looking directly at the four Xiao Ran, with no expression on his face.
