The Black Knights, the Shadow Garden, and the Knights of the Round (7K)

"Looks like we need to teach you a lesson, you Briton woman! Let's teach you a good lesson!"

Ignoring Nina's terrified screams, the man reached out and grabbed the girl's arm.

However, just as he was about to touch and pull the person up, a hand grabbed his wrist.

"Sorry, she's just a student. If you have any problems, come at me."

"And who are you?!"

The man turned his head and was slightly taken aback when he saw the person who had grabbed his wrist, because that person also had an Asia face.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yotsuba Mahiro, and I'm this child's teacher."

"Teacher..."

Seeing the teacher who stood up for her, Nina's eyes were already filled with tears.

The teacher really was protecting me; she really wasn't lying...

Nina was deeply moved. The presence of Mahiro was like a ray of light shining into her dark heart, dispelling the gloom that lingered in her heart.

Unfortunately, despite being touched, she can't do anything for her teacher now.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Euphemia li Britannia, hidden in the crowd, was somewhat taken aback when she heard the name Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Teacher Mahiro?"

She suddenly looked up and saw that familiar figure, Euphemia li Britannia found incredible.

What's the teacher doing here?

Upon hearing Yotsuba Mahiro's name, and after observing his attire and relationship with the Britannia students, the terrorist's expression turned menacing.

"So you're a dog of Britannia! You traitor are even more despicable than those people!"

He immediately raised the butt of his gun, aiming it at Mahiro's head, ready to smash it down.

"Stop!"

Ignoring her attendants' advice, Euphemia li Britannia stood up from the crowd.

"I am Euphemia Li Britannia, the third princess of the Britannia Empire. I demand that you treat the hostages well and allow me to meet your leader!"

Everyone stared in shock at Euphemia li Britannia, the girl with long pink hair.

Even the terrorists were stunned.

There was such a surprise hidden in the crowd???

However, Euphemia li Britannia ignored the astonishment and shock of those people, and smiled at the panicked Nina, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Euphemia li Britannia's smile seemed to offer Nina a kind of salvation, leaving her completely stunned.

It became the second ray of light to enter her heart.

Immediately afterwards, Euphemia li Britannia looked up and asked Mahiro:

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Teacher?!!

The hostages and terrorists all looked at Yotsuba Mahiro standing there in surprise.

If this girl really is the third princess, then wouldn't her teacher be...?

Upon Mahiro, Makoto couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"I'm fine, but someone else is in trouble."

"Feel sorry..."

Euphemia li Britannia shrugged apologetically and gave a very apologetic smile.

After all, she couldn't just stand by and watch her teacher get beaten up by those guys!

But it seems she misunderstood something.

"Why apologize? You're not the one who's going to get into trouble."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Euphemia li Britannia blinked blankly.

Suddenly, a strange red light emanated from the eyes of the person meeting her Mahiro, and a deep blue pentagram magic circle gradually enlarged from the center of the pupil.

Immediately afterwards, the person next to him suddenly clutched his stomach in pain, and the other terrorists also clutched their chests and knelt on the ground in pain, their eyes bloodshot as if they were about to explode.

The next second, these people exploded into ashes under Euphemia li Britannia's incomprehensible gaze, and a wisp of azure flame dissipated in the air.

It's like magic.

In an instant, all the armed men in the room were wiped out, leaving only dust and weapons lying in the dust.

"I said something bad was going to happen, but it was them."

"Will the Japanese Liberation Front welcome me as a comrade or treat me as a stumbling block? In any case, I certainly can't resist the temptation of seeing ZERO. So, all the preconditions for the operation have been met!"

As the Japanese Liberation Front fighters who opened the door to welcome him into the hotel appeared, a victorious smile spread across Lelouch's face beneath his mask.

Having just made contact with Britannia Colonel Grass Wall, who had taken over the hotel, chose to greet them without hesitation.

However, as ZERO and his team stepped out of the filming vehicle and entered the hotel, they discovered that the situation before them was completely different from what they had imagined.

"What exactly happened here...?"

Chapter 262 The Black Knights, the Shadow Garden, and the Knights of the Rounds (7K)

"What exactly happened here...?"

Lelouch's pupils trembled beneath the mask, and for the first time, his voice betrayed panic.

Those who were less mentally prepared vomited on the spot.

Even Kallen covered her mouth, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit.

What unfolded before my eyes was a picture of hell.

Fresh blood...

Blood was everywhere!

The marble floor tiles were stained dark red with blood, and the surrounding walls were covered with graffiti, like a child's scribbles, with scattered severed limbs and bones serving as embellishments.

Half an arm was hanging upside down from the swaying chandelier.

It was like a bloody slaughterhouse!

Lelouch initially thought this was a brutal massacre perpetrated by members of the Japanese Liberation Front, but upon closer inspection, that wasn't the case; the blackened uniforms were still faintly visible on the severed limbs.

Several heads scattered in the corner still bore traces of fear, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died.

"Hey, where exactly is this place...?"

Kaname Ohgi turned around, wanting to ask the terrorist who was leading the way about the situation.

Then a dark shadow flashed by, and the terrorists beside him froze, silently disintegrating into pieces and falling to the ground before his very eyes.

This isn't the only one.

The eight terrorists accompanying him were all swiftly killed before they could even shout.

It could even be done without anyone noticing.

In the center of the hall, three figures gradually emerged.

The slash just now was launched by the woman in black on the left, the one with the light blue twin ponytails.

They dragged out something that looked like a whip.

On the right is a girl with short, silver hair, but her face is completely obscured by a mask.

As for the one in the middle, he should be the leader, with long, waist-length golden hair that swayed slowly with the air currents that swept into the hall.

Just standing there exudes an air of pressure.

Although they were all wearing masks, their figures made it clear that they were a group of very beautiful young women, and their outfits were exactly the same as those of the group that appeared on the Shinjuku battlefield!

Many people have already recognized them.

But Lelouch frowned when he saw the person in the middle.

Because he knew that person.

It's Alpha, who follows Yotsuba Mahiro.

Since she's here, does that mean that Mahiro- sensei has already started taking action?

"Hey, who are you guys?!"

"Tamaki, shut up!"

Unlike the others, Tamaki showed no fear and stepped forward to question them directly.

Startled, Kaname Ohgi quickly grabbed the arrogant fellow.

Despair.

Suddenly, Alpha took a step forward.

Although it was just a simple step, it terrified everyone, and they quickly shoved Tamaki, that idiot, behind them.

"I'm sorry... Tamaki just didn't mean it..."

"..."

Alpha ignored them and instead looked at ZERO.

"Go up, he's waiting for you."

After saying that, Alpha disappeared with Beta and Epsilon behind him.

"ZERO, who exactly are they..."

"Someone who might become our future comrade-in-arms."

ZERO simply replied to Kallen's question with a single sentence.

Let's go.

He then tossed his cloak and led them straight to the elevator.

As the elevator roared, the people standing on the platform felt uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

This was something they had never witnessed in all their years as a resistance fighter.

It was like stepping into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, an unknown den of demons.

I have absolutely no idea what I'll be facing next...

Bite!

The elevator arrived at the floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

Strangely, this floor wasn't as terrifying as the lobby on the first floor; on the contrary, it was very clean.

For some reason, there was more dust in the air, and a faint burnt smell, like something was burning.

Following the map, the group instinctively moved forward, drawn by the scent.

They found that more and more dust was being scattered around, and there were also many weapons lying on the ground.

Finally, we arrived at a room.

The inside was very clean, without the choking dust of the outside. There was only one person there: a white-haired man sitting at a round table, playing with a military knife in his hand.

Click!

The military knife shattered into several pieces in his hand.

That person was none other than the mysterious white-haired man who had once stormed the execution ground with Lelouch!

He slowly turned his swivel chair around, looked at the group, and smiled:

"Oh, sorry you're late. I've already cleared out the terrorists in the hotel."
