Mahiro and Euphy (5K)

Although she was young and lacked social experience, and was unaware of the darkness of the world, Euphemia was not foolish.

She knew very well that her Mahiro, Makoto, hadn't appeared in Area 11 without a reason; he must have some purpose.

Just like that sudden departure without saying goodbye back then.

When Mahiro mentioned Lelouch and Nunnally, she guessed that the missing Lelouch and Nunnally must have already met her!

Mahiro nodded affirmatively, without hiding anything from Euphemia li Britannia.

"Lelouch and Nunnally are indeed still alive."

"Then... then teacher, could you take me to see them? I haven't seen them for so many years, I miss them so much..."

Chapter 253 Mahiro and Euphemia li Britannia (5K)

"Then... then teacher, could you take me to see them? I haven't seen them for so many years, I miss them so much..."

Euphemia li Britannia regretted saying it as soon as she did.

What she regretted was not mentioning Lelouch and his sister in front of Suzaku Kururugi.

Because she knew that Private First Class Suzaku Kururugi was the son of Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi, which meant that Lelouch and his sister must have met Suzaku Kururugi when they were sent to Japan as hostages.

She regretted suggesting that she go see Lelouch and Nunnally.

If they were to meet, it would surely cause quite a stir.

The news that Lelouch and Nunnally are still alive will certainly be big news once it reaches their home country and Britannia.

In any case, they were princes and princesses of Britannia.

She feared that her recklessness would disrupt Lelouch and Nunnally's peaceful life and draw them into a larger royal conflict...

After much deliberation, Euphemia li Britannia spoke hesitantly:

"Um... teacher, if it's not possible, please just pretend I didn't say anything."

"You're overthinking it, Euphemia li Britannia ... I know what you're thinking, but as long as I'm here, none of those things you're imagining will ever happen."

Lelouch didn't care; that guy was capable of surviving on his own and had huge ambitions.

But he wants to take Nunnally away from Yotsuba Mahiro?

That depends on how many lives the other person has that he can kill.

"However, if you can't meet them now... how about this, let's go later, and I'll personally take you to see Lelouch and Nunnally then."

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, teacher!"

Upon receiving Mahiro's affirmative answer, Euphemia li Britannia couldn't help but gently hug Mahiro, wrapping her slender arms around his neck, and the two pressed intimately together.

The delicate fragrance of lilies lingered around my nose.

Euphemia li Britannia's innocent smile, that bright smile, was like a blooming flower, so pure that one couldn't bear to defile it.

After hugging for a while, Euphemia li Britannia let go of him again.

A shy and charming blush returned to her bright face, but she changed her mind.

"In that case, could you please show me around, teacher? I want to see this place, see Lelouch and Nunnally, and see the place where you live, teacher."

"Of course, no problem, my dear princess."

Mahiro smiled slightly.

He agreed to Euphemia li Britannia's simple request without the slightest hesitation.

"And what about you, Private First Class Suzaku Kururugi? Would you like to come along?"

With Euphemia li Britannia's problem resolved, it was naturally Suzaku Kururugi's turn.

Although Mahiro's words were a question, his eyes were fixed on Suzaku Kururugi, his gaze filled with a cold indifference.

Suzaku Kururugi only needed to exchange a brief glance to feel a chill as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

From the very beginning, this man seemed to harbor a strong hostility towards me...

Although it was impossible to be certain at the time, Suzaku Kururugi is now certain that the other party dislikes him.

They had never met before, and it was unclear where this dislike came from...

The idea of traveling with this princess was completely dispelled after just one glance.

Suzaku Kururugi touched his head and sighed:

"Um... thank you for the invitation, but no thanks, I have other things to do..."

This child is teachable.

Mahiro nodded with satisfaction, the coldness in his eyes lessening slightly, and he once again put on that gentle smile as he said to Euphemia li Britannia:

"Since Mr. Suzaku Kururugi is busy, Euphemia li Britannia, let's not disturb him any longer. Let's go."

"Um."

Although Euphemia li Britannia didn't understand why Suzaku Kururugi looked so forlorn, knowing that he had something to do, she naturally wouldn't force him to go out with her.

After giving Suzaku Kururugi a friendly smile, Euphemia li Britannia left arm in arm with Mahiro.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Suzaku Kururugi dusted himself off, stood up, and sat down on the bench where Mahiro had just been sitting.

His fingertips gently touched the spot where Euphemia li Britannia had just sat, where a faint warmth still lingered.

For some reason, he felt a pain in his heart, as if he were drowning and about to suffocate. Suzaku Kururugi felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles, and he could only gasp for breath.

"What... is wrong with me?"

Completely unable to comprehend his physical condition, Suzaku Kururugi could only suppress the pain that threatened to bring him to tears, lean back in his chair, and close his eyes to rest.

"Teacher, do you dislike Kururugi-kun?"

The two walked along the shopping street, Euphemia li Britannia waving her arms at him, her face full of girlish excitement.

Those large, bluish-gold eyes looked curiously at the surrounding shops.

Although Euphemia li Britannia had left the Britannia palace and traveled the outside world, she always had bodyguards with her. This time, however, she ran away alone, met her teacher whom she hadn't seen for many years, and learned that Lelouch and Nunnally were still alive.

Her excitement was so palpable that it was impossible not to see it on her face.

"I didn't expect you to figure it out, Euphemia li Britannia."

He stood at the entrance of the dress shop, watching Euphemia li Britannia gesturing with her hands in front of the display window, showing off herself and the dresses in the showcase, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course! Teacher, you can't always treat me like a little girl. I'm all grown up now."

You can't tell at all.

Although she says she's grown up, her behavior is still no different from a child's; Cornelia has perfectly preserved that innocence and purity.

If I had to pinpoint what I've grown in, it would be my figure and bust size.

Yes, it is indeed very big.

But then, Euphemia asked curiously:

"By the way Mahiro- sensei, you're also from Area 11, right? Why do you dislike Suzaku Kururugi?"

No, that's not true.

Mahiro immediately denied Euphemia li Britannia's claim.

"I am Yotsuba Mahiro, and only Yotsuba Mahiro. I do not belong to any country, and naturally I am not from Area 11."

"That's so profound..."

Euphemia li Britannia looked distressed, completely failing to understand what he meant.

"You'll understand later. As for why I hate Suzaku Kururugi, it's simply because his behavior is disgusting."

"When he was young, when the Britannia army was preparing to attack Japan, Suzaku Kururugi not only killed his father Genbu Kururugi, but also tried to join the Britannia army after he grew up and became a so-called honorary Britannia."

Despite harboring deep-seated hatred and national grievances, they act as lackeys for their enemies.

Don't you think people like that deserve to be hated?

Not to mention, Suzaku Kururugi will later betray his closest friends in order to climb the social ladder.

But there was no need to say this out loud, because the list he gave had already frightened Euphemia so much that she couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock with her hands.

She had never heard of anything as horrifying as killing her father with her own hands before.

However, Euphemia li Britannia is not only emotional, but also rational.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Perhaps Mr. Suzaku Kururugi had his own unspeakable reasons for doing such a thing?"

"Hmm, maybe that's true, but that doesn't stop me from hating him, and there are many times when I can't help but want to kill him."

He made no attempt to hide his emotions from Euphemia li Britannia.

His tone was calm, but his killing intent was palpable.

He was serious.

Euphemia li Britannia sensed it too, and her cherry lips pressed together slightly; she didn't know what to say.

"Alright, whether I like it or not is my own business, and it's none of your concern. Besides, aren't we supposed to be traveling with you right now? Don't let this trivial matter ruin your mood."

Mahiro chuckled softly, pinched Euphemia li Britannia's nose, and immediately interrupted Euphemia li Britannia's little thoughts.

"Teacher, I've grown up now, I'm not the little child I used to be."

Euphemia li Britannia stomped her foot lightly, as if she were being sulky, and puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking like a little pufferfish that had inflated up—very cute.

Passersby watched the elegant young couple playfully teasing each other like lovers, and they all smiled knowingly.

Both Mahiro and Euphemia li Britannia exude a noble aura that sets them apart from ordinary people, naturally attracting the attention of those around them.

"Speaking of which, teacher, you haven't changed at all."

After Mahiro around with Mahiro for a while, Euphemia li Britannia spoke softly.

Both her personality and appearance were exactly the same as when I first saw her at Princess Marianne's palace.

Young and handsome, it seems that time has left no trace on him.

When CC first met him, she was slightly surprised. If she hadn't known that he couldn't awaken Geass, she probably would have mistaken him for someone with a Code.

"Well, of course, no matter when, where, year, or month, I will never change."

"Yes, I understand... Just like my feelings for you, teacher, will never change no matter how much time passes..."

Euphemia li Britannia unconsciously clasped her hands to her chest, and her soft murmur was so faint that it was carried away by the wind, and no one could hear it.

However, Euphemia li Britannia quickly suppressed her feelings, hugged Mahiro's arm again, gave him a sweet smile, and strolled around with him.

How about this dress?

Euphemia li Britannia and Mahiro strolled through the shopping street.

Every time Euphemia li Britannia came across a shop, she would go in and browse around, just like an ordinary young girl. After looking through everything in the shop, she would not buy anything. Perhaps this really is a woman's nature, and even the third princess of the Britannia Empire was no exception.

Whether it's a clothing store or a shoe store, Euphemia li Britannia always asks for his opinion.

"It's very pretty."

Mahiro replied with a smile.

This had become his standard answer; no matter what clothes Euphemia li Britannia wore, he would give the same response.

It wasn't hypocritical flattery, or an attempt to please a girl.

It's actually a perfect fit.

Even though these clothes couldn't compare to those hand-sewn by court designers and were just ordinary, inexpensive items, they didn't look cheap at all when worn by Euphemia li Britannia.

Even the boss was stunned when he saw it.

She's a natural clothes hanger.

If Mahiro hadn't been there, the boss probably would have asked Euphemia li Britannia if she wanted to be a model in their store.
