Lelouch's brows suddenly furrowed, and he unconsciously looked at the group of people kneeling behind him, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes.
GEASS, this is Lelouch's biggest trump card for daring to ascend to the throne. It is also his greatest confidence. It is also the foundation for him to stabilize this country after becoming the emperor. If he wants to stabilize this country in the shortest time and use the power of this country to complete his real plan, then what he is doing now The GEASS he owns will be the most indispensable thing, but now Xiao Ran actually told him that in the hands of Charles, or in the hands of Charles's collaborators, there was something that could release GEASS, which immediately cast a shadow in his heart.
Lelouch was silent for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "How many people know about this kind of thing you are talking about?"
"I don't know. I don't know all the information about the GEASS eliminator. I just know that there is such a thing. After all, I didn't have the channel to know the information about this country before." Xiao Ran patted Lelouch's shoulder and said, "Although I don't know, there must be people who know about these existences. Isn't Charles the best source of intelligence? I tell you this just to remind you not to think that you can sit back and relax with GEASS."
"I will know from his mouth." Lelouch nodded silently and said, "The next step is to ascend the throne, and finally we have reached this step. Apart from Black Knights I have put a lot of thought into it along the way, it feels good. It feels like we have reached this point without doing anything. Although all the plans so far have had changes in the middle, the overall development has been in a direction that is beneficial to us and we have achieved our goals. It always feels like a dream, and suddenly everything is at our fingertips."
"Because we have the power to get everything at our fingertips. The fundamental reason why we can do all this is because we have the power that others cannot resist. We can ignore all factors that can be flattened by force. This is why we can reach this point so quickly."
Xiao Ran paused slightly and smiled slightly, "I once had a student, a silly girl, who clearly had enough power to protect herself, make other enemies feel threatened, and ensure the stability and peace of her country, but she just endured it. That power brought help, but she always believed that power was the root of all conflicts and wars, and actively disbanded that power. The final result was that her country was occupied and destroyed by other people with power. You are smarter than her, and you should know what I mean."
Lelouch knew what Xiao Ran wanted to express, but he didn't quite understand why Xiao Ran suddenly changed the topic in this direction. "Powerful power is indeed a double-edged sword, but in the end, how to use the power depends on whose hand the sword is held. So are you telling me that we can do anything we want with power? Or are you reminding me that if one day someone else has power beyond us, he can easily defeat us? But more importantly, the person with this power is not me at all, but you, which always feels like an illusion to me."
"Also, it's a bit unexpected that you, who are so cunning, can teach such a student who has no idea what is right and what is wrong."
"Just a silly girl." Xiao Ran patted Lelouch on the shoulder again and said, "So you need to develop your own power as soon as possible, whether it is Black Knights or your own ability. Only in this way can you avoid falling into the mortal world. Only your true strength is the basis for changing and deciding everything. I believe you will have such ability one day."
"We'll see." Lelouch waved his hand. Although he has been strengthened and has higher coordination and athletic ability, he is not the kind of person who is good at using his body. If he wants to grow up to have the power to crush others, it seems more appropriate to think more about how to unite those who have power around him.
For example, Suzaku Kururugi, a good friend who has super reflexes, athleticism, and physical strength, has also been strengthened. In terms of personal combat ability, Suzaku Kururugi no longer knows how to ignore him. Anyway, the power he Lelouch masters and unites around him can also be regarded as the power he can use.
The unnaturalness and randomness on Lelouch's face let Xiao Ran see what he was thinking, but Xiao Ran didn't give any more instructions. There was no problem with Lelouch's thoughts. After all, once all the participants left, the upper limit of this world would be that What's going on, there is Suzaku Kururugi, a fool with GEASS ability, Black Knights, Lelouch is definitely not a being that anyone can mess with, not to mention that being powerful is only relative, and the current Lelouch is also many times more powerful than those real ordinary people.
Lelouch looked at the people behind him and said, "It's time to let them leave. Here are two people to watch over these people, especially Charles. No one is allowed to get close to them."
These words were not spoken to Xiao Ran, but to the other participants who protected Lelouch into the palace. Many participants looked at each other and walked out. Under the order of Lelouch, two people left the hall with everyone including Charles, but Bismark and However, the two people Luciano stayed because they had special identities. Among the Britannian Empire, Knights of the Round had a high reputation, especially Bismark. Anyway, these two people were already controlled by him. If they left a strong momentum and showed up in person to express their support for Lelouch's ascension to the throne, they would avoid more trouble.
Next, Lelouch walked onto the high platform that only the emperor could step on. He stood in front of the throne and stared blankly at the chair. Until some time passed, Schneizel entered Political Hall. Behind him, countless nobles and important ministers entered the hall, and people who were deliberately called for global broadcasts brought in a large number of equipment.
Everyone who entered the hall looked at Lelouch who had his back to them on the high platform with inexplicable and fearful eyes. The luxurious clothes seemed to say everything. However, the newcomers like Lelouch had no understanding at all. However, for the series of rapid and huge changes in the previous capital, the nobles could not understand these important ministers who were captured or summoned.
Everyone was thoroughly inspected before entering the main hall, and was given a stern warning by Schneizel. Now there are many participants outside the main hall, and even more powerful bodies have entered the palace directly to ensure the smooth handover of power. Now they appear in the main hall. No one among them dares to make the slightest sound, but they all know that from this moment on, Britannia will undergo a huge change. Whether they stand on the side of the winner of the revolution or on the side of the loser, for these people, this is a question that does not need to be considered at all.
Moreover, on the steps of the high platform, the people standing on the left and right sides did not dare to have any delusions. The first Knights of the Round Bismark showed even more powerful power, and almost single-handedly changed the entire Africa battle situation. The mysterious Second Knight Lelouch, Luciano, who is known as a vampire, and Schneizel, who originally had huge power in the empire, these people are almost enough to represent the military and political power of the entire Britannia. These people have expressed their surrender to the young figure at the top of the steps, so who have the right to refuse.
Lelouch did not turn around, but when he came back to his senses, he also noticed the situation in the hall. He gently placed his hand on the armrest of the throne and asked softly, "Is it time?"
Schneizel is probably the first person among all the people who are not under control to truly understand everything without being threatened, including his identity, location, etc. He leads his subordinates to come over directly without hesitation. Of course, this part It will definitely take some time for power to be fully integrated into Lelouch's future regime, but Britannia's direct transformation from high-rise buildings will inevitably destined these people to become the real pillars of this country's future.
Schneizel may not necessarily have thoughts about the throne, but he doesn't necessarily have none. However, if he can really get the space to display his ambitions under Lelouch, and after understanding the current situation, continuing to serve as Britannia's prime minister can be considered to be in line with his wishes.
After Lelouch's words fell, Schneizel turned to face Lelouch, caressed his chest and bent down, and said respectfully, "Dear Your Majesty, it may take some time to wait. Various places will also make preparations for the later ceremony, and there are still some important personnel who have not arrived."
Lelouch nodded, Xiao Ran also glanced in the direction of Schneizel, without speaking, he stood on the steps and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, the important personnel mentioned by Schneizel finally appeared in the main hall, standing in the middle of the main hall. Some people had bewildered expressions on their faces, and they were at a loss, but there were also many people. With a resolute, brave and stubborn look on his face, he looked at Schneizel and Lelouch on the steps with a look of hatred, but more people were silent, Low Guts was silent.
Xiao Ran opened his eyes when these people came in. They were all wearing gold, silver, and cloaks, and were gorgeously dressed. The youngest was just a baby, and the older ones were about thirty.
There were also several people with incompatible temperaments, even the injured Monica was inside, but he was pushed in by a green-haired woman in a wheelchair. There were five or six similar people. Except for the lady pushing Monica, everyone else was wearing quite ordinary casual clothes.
Schneizel may have seen Xiao Ran's unfamiliarity and confusion with these people, so he took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, all Royal Family members and existing Knights of the Round have arrived. At this time, all regions should be ready for your Majesty's real-time broadcast."
Those people who were dressed luxuriously were the Royal Family members of Britannia, but the person who made Xiao Ran the deepest memory was not standing among them. However, Knights of the Round was described as Schneizel using the existing one, so among these so-called Knights of the Round there are people who were once Knights of the Round but retired.
"Everyone is here." Lelouch shook his luxurious robe with his right hand and slowly turned around to reveal his true appearance to everyone in the hall. At the same time, the camera that had been prepared lit up instantly, capturing the entire hall and the core Lelouch.
Almost no one in the entire hall knew the existence of Lelouch, but there were a few people who did, such as the man standing in front of the Royal Family members. The moment he saw the Lelouch lineup, his eyes widened in disbelief, but he did not dare to say anything more. I endured my fearful heart.
"My name is Lelouch·VI·Britannia, the eleventh prince of the Britannian Empire."
As soon as the name was said, more people present were not paying attention to how the prince Lelouch appeared, but turning their eyes back and forth between Xiao Ran and Lelouch. The same name made them start to think about the relationship between these two people.
"No matter what you think in your heart, my fight against Coup d'état against Britannia has ended, and my victory is an unquestionable fact."
"From today on, I am the ninety-ninth emperor of Britannia. Those who obey will survive and those who rebel will be forgotten. My wishes are Britannia's wishes, and my goals are Britannia's goals."
Lelouch has delivered many speeches as ZERO. To be honest, they are very middle-class and very high-spirited. However, as the new emperor of Britannia, Lelouch can no longer deliver speeches in the ZERO way., because ZERO and Lelouch must not have anything to do with each other, which suddenly made him feel a little unaccustomed. He seemed to be unable to talk for hours, so he could only pretend to be as cool as possible and portray himself as a resolute, brave and decisive winner.
He didn't speak for several hours, but Lelouch still spoke sentence by sentence for a minute or two, showing the image of a new generation of hegemons to the outside world, and even used words to derogatoryly describe Charles as a poor soldier. Wu, the tyrant who allowed countless people to sacrifice in vain, stood up to resist because he could not bear the sacrifices of his soldiers, and finally gained many supporters and succeeded. Lelouch, who felt that he was really at a loss for words, said the last sentence.
"I will be the emperor of Britannia. Whoever opposes it and whoever agrees with it."
When the last words came out, Schneizel reacted the fastest. He turned around and bent down towards Lelouch: "Your Majesty is welcome to the throne."
Following the movements of Schneizel, Knights of the Round on all the steps headed by Xiao Ran also turned and bowed. "Welcome to His Majesty to ascend the throne."
Then the supporters of Schneizel bent down, and some people who could not accept the current situation also bent down under the leadership of some wallflowers. Only a very few people straightened their waists and looked at Lelouch standing on the stage with disdain.
"What qualifications do rebels have to become emperor? Schneizel, Bismark, Luciano, Lelouch, you are all rebels!"
Suddenly a voice sounded, Xiao Ran and others straightened up, Lelouch also showed a mocking smile on his face, Bismark and Luciano, the two people controlled by GEASS, slowly walked down the steps and looked at everyone in the hall with gloomy eyes. "Didn't you hear what His Majesty said just now? Those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish. If you don't want to bend down, then just die..."
