Witch, Are You Still Planning to Run Away? (5K)

These Britannia soldiers were ordered by him to commit suicide, and they all died...

"Is this the power that Master Mahiro spoke of?"

"That's right."

Just then, another voice rang out from the empty warehouse.

Not only that, but faint footsteps also echoed through the air.

The leather boots stepped onto the dirty stone slabs, and the dust they kicked up instantly turned the spotless, beautiful Oxford shoes gray.

"Who goes there?!"

Lelouch suddenly looked up, only to be met with wide-eyed surprise.

"How could it be you... Mahiro- sensei?!"

Yotsuba Mahiro, who should have been at school, appeared in Shinjuku instead, greeting Lelouch with "Hi, are you surprised?" and nonchalantly stepping over the corpses.

"And what did you just mean?!"

"It's really noisy, Lelouch."

Answer me!!!

Lelouch's roar echoed through the silent warehouse, its sound lingering long afterward.

"Yes, yes, yes, ask me any questions later, I don't have time for you now."

Mahiro a perfunctory and evasive answer.

He then crouched down beside the girl who was lying on the ground, carefully examining her.

"There really hasn't been any change at all."

He murmured with a hint of nostalgia.

She has gorgeous long green hair and exquisite features, with a doll-like beauty. Her slender and delicate figure is so fragile that it seems impossible to hold her hand, and her perfect curves make one's heart race.

It was exactly the same as when I saw it in the Aries Palace years ago.

Still as beautiful as ever.

If I had to pinpoint the difference, it would be their clothing; they were dressed in something resembling prison uniforms.

And there's an extra bullet hole on the red V-shaped mark in the shape of a flying bird on his forehead.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the bullet hole under the hairline is slowly contracting, and the bullet frozen inside is being slowly pushed out.

It is estimated that it will be fully revived in a while.

And during this time, I can chat with Lelouch casually...

Just as he was thinking this, he stood up and looked at Lelouch again, only to find that a bird-like V-shaped mark had appeared in the other's left eye.

"In the name of Lelouch vi Brittany, I command you, Master Mahiro, to tell me everything you know, and your purpose!"

A red bird flew out of his pupil and directly into Mahiro's eye.

It was a strange power, powerful enough to rewrite the will of others and distort their minds.

In the blink of an eye, a faint red tinge appeared in Mahiro's eyes, and she responded:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

It's a success!

Seeing that Mahiro's reaction was almost identical to that of the others before him, Lelouch couldn't contain his excitement.

It can work!

They actually managed to control Mr. Mahiro!

Lelouch immediately adopted a haughty demeanor, extending his hand to him and commanding in a condescending voice:

"Sar, state your purpose!"

"My purpose..."

Mahiro slowly opened his mouth.

"Yes, that's your goal!"

My goal is...

"Your goal is!"

My goal is... to teach you a lesson, you good-for-nothing student!

"Wait, wait, teacher, stop!!!"

A piercing scream immediately echoed through the empty warehouse.

Chapter 241 Witch, are you still planning to run away? (5K)

"Wait, wait, teacher, stop!!!"

Lelouch was completely absorbed in his joy and didn't notice that Mahiro was getting closer and closer to him.

Or rather, it was too late when they discovered it.

Just three steps away, Mahiro suddenly sprang up and grabbed Lelouch by the collar.

He was slammed hard to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

At the same time, one foot was placed on Lelouch's chest, rendering him unable to move.

"You've really grown bold, Lelouch. Daring to use the power of Geass on your master, you really deserve a beating!!!"

"T-Teacher, no...!!!"

Lelouch's screams echoed throughout the empty, abandoned factory.

I don't know how long it took before it finally stopped.

The tranquil sunlight streamed down from the dilapidated dome, illuminating the fine dust particles floating in the air.

Lelouch, looking disheveled, sat slumped in a corner of the factory, receiving treatment from Mahiro.

His miserable appearance was a far cry from his previous image as a handsome and dashing English prince; he looked more like a beggar.

Even her neatly combed hair drooped unnaturally, hanging limply in front of her forehead.

Seeing the magnificent light emanating from Mahiro's body and feeling the cool sensation within him, Lelouch couldn't help but ask:

"Is this the power you use to heal Nunnally every day?"

"Oh ho ho, I didn't expect the vengeful Black Prince to care about his sister so much."

"I'll say it in a sarcastic tone, "Mahiro said.

It's not surprising that Lelouch knew he was treating Nunnally.

After all, that maid Sayoko, is Lelouch's person, so she must report to Lelouch every day.

"Stop teasing me, teacher."

"Oh, so now you know to call me teacher?"

"..."

After being repeatedly subjected to his sarcastic remarks, Lelouch finally fell silent.

Only Mahiro finished the treatment did Lelouch break out of his silence.

"Teacher, please tell me, what exactly is this power I have gained?"

Lelouch is now certain that this is the power that Yotsuba Mahiro had told him about before.

Although he knew very well that Yotsuba Mahiro definitely knew something, he also knew very well that the other party would not tell him.

Therefore, it would be better to figure out the truth about this force and then make good use of it.

"Hmph~ You want to understand your own power, huh... No problem, I'll tell you."

Mahiro smiled slightly and told Lelouch about Geass...

Geass, also known as Oath and Restraint, is the power of the king and a continuation of Ragnarok.

If you wish to understand someone's heart, you can immerse yourself in their thoughts and see into their heart;

If you want to know what others are going to do, you can immerse yourself in their thoughts and predict their actions;

If you desire the love of others, you can merge into their thoughts and persuade them to give you love...

In reality, the thoughts, spirits, and souls of others are heavily protected by solid walls, making it impossible for anyone other than the person in question to interfere with them. However, the ability of Geass is to make contact with these things, exert some influence on them, and achieve certain results. This is also the desire of humankind.

I want to reach someone's heart—though everyone's Geass is different. As long as I can reach the place in their heart that I wish to reach.

Geass can grant the manipulator's every wish.

As for Lelouch, who originally possessed the qualities of a king, the power he obtained from Geass was absolute command.

But...

Only those who are prepared to be killed have the right to fire a gun.

If one is fortunate enough to obtain and desire this power, then naturally one will pay the corresponding price.

Embarking on a thorny path.

The fabricated kingdom will eventually collapse, leading to its isolation and betrayal.

Ultimately, it was consumed by this force.

"So, Lelouch, what's your choice? Will you accept this power and embark on the path of no return to avenge the Black Prince, or will you obediently return to school, continue living a peaceful life with Nunnally, and become your Lelouch Lamperouge?"

Even though she already knew the result, Mahiro still couldn't help but want to ask.

Lelouch, however, kept pondering his words, especially the line, "Only those who are prepared to be killed have the right to fire a gun."

After chewing it several times, Lelouch seemed to understand something, and suddenly stood up and said:

"Teacher, you will treat Nunnally well, right?"

"Oh? You've already made your choice?"

"Um."

Lelouch nodded and said frankly:

"There is no such thing as peace in this world. As long as Britannia exists, Nunnally and I will never have a peaceful life."

Now that I have the power, why don't I use it?

I've been prepared to be shot ever since that summer seven years ago!

So... if it's this power, if it's this power! I can, I definitely can destroy Britannia!

Clovis, it's time to begin!

Bending down, Lelouch sneered and picked up a walkie-talkie from the pool of blood.

It was left behind by terrorists shot by Britannia soldiers.

He made up his mind.

He decided to start his revenge by taking down this nominal older brother and also investigate the cause of his mother's death.

And from this day forward, it is the day of his rebirth, the birthday of the vengeful Black Prince!

He was destined to stab Charles, his father, with the blade of rebellion!

Just like the sword Mordred thrust into King Arthur's chest on Camlann Hill!

"That's a good level of awareness."

Yotsuba Mahiro clapped his hands loudly, the piercing applause echoing throughout the factory.

"Now that the decision has been made, let's begin the tutorial. Your first battle... oh dear, it's here."

The moment the words left his mouth.

The roar of an engine came from outside the factory.
