Nina in the Palm of Their Hand

Let's take action.

At the same time, Alpha, standing on the platform, simply murmured this, and the people behind him immediately dispersed.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous roar resounded.

It's Knightmare, exactly like the black mechs that appeared at Lake Kawaguchi and in the Narita Mountain Range.

But unlike before, this time all the mechs were equipped with levitation devices on their backs, soaring into the sky and heading towards Euphemia's Sutherland.

However, at that moment, someone was faster than them.

"Your Highness Euphemia!!!"

With a roar, a white mech appeared out of nowhere and charged out.

It's Lancelot.

Moreover, that Lancelot was also equipped with a levitation device that emitted a glowing green light!

To protect Euphemia below, Suzaku Kururugi didn't hesitate to draw Lancelot's sword and slash at the black mecha closest to Euphemia li Britannia.

When--

"What a forgetful wretch!"

Inside the cockpit, Epsilon looked displeased, bared his fangs, and brandished his scythe as he clashed with Lancelot.

But to her surprise, this time the guy seemed to have gone mad.

They attacked her relentlessly, seemingly unconcerned about the damage to their mechs.

It even displayed a level of power completely different from its previous performance.

Not only did he fight her to a standstill in the sky, but this guy also seized an opportunity to leave a horrific scratch on her beloved mecha with the blade of his sword.

"How so?"

Epsilon was completely dumbfounded.

It felt like the person opposite me wasn't just using cheats, it was like the driver had been completely different.

"Don't get distracted during the battle."

Her companion's reminder brought Epsilon back to her senses, and her recent lapse in composure caused her cheeks to flush red.

He immediately shouted into the communication:

"Zeta, do me a favor, let's take this guy down together!"

Normally, Zeta would not have paid any attention to such a request, nor would he have paid any attention to Epsilon.

But this time it's different; it concerns the task that Mahiro entrusted to them.

And so, Zeta made his move.

The jet-black mech brandished its massive ring, slicing through Lancelot's mech shell with lightning speed.

But it surprised her somewhat.

"How is that possible?"

Her attack was clearly aimed at Lancelot's cockpit, but it only severed his arms.

Sacrifice your arm to protect the cockpit?

But that's all there is to it!

Zeta and Epsilon, piloting the Knightmare, imprisoned Lancelot in the center like a waltz, their weapons clashing and sparks flying.

Soon, Lancelot fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

While Lancelot was entangled for a short while, Euphemia li Britannia's Sutherland, not far away, was already surrounded by several black mechs.

Even if they raised their guns and fired continuously, it was all in vain; the bullets only caused tiny flashes of light to appear on the surface of the mech.

Above Sutherland's head, Gawain hovered.

"Why? Why are you stopping me? You're not Japan at all."

In Euphemia li Britannia's subconscious, she knew very well who these people were who were stopping her.

They were all from the Shadow Garden, her teacher's subordinates.

But Euphemia li Britannia, controlled by Geass, is only capable of these kinds of thoughts, and she will not hesitate to kill anyone who tries to stop her.

Just like the person who initially tried to stop them, one of Cornelia's confidants, Andreas Dalton.

"Is this the true power of Geass? I feel like I could capture him and conduct thorough research on him."

Piloting his own mech, Ita looked at Euphemia was now surrounded, and began to have designs on her.

But the next second, Alpha's cool voice reminded him:

"Stop your scheming, Ita. This is the person he wants, not a tool for your experiments."

"Tch, stingy..."

Ita puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and muttered a complaint under her breath.

But he suppressed his own ulterior motives and focused on carrying out the mission.

At the same time, Lelouch seemed to have made a decision, controlling Gawain to fire several Flying Swallow Claws, instantly dismembering Sutherland below.

Because only the limbs were severed, even the emergency ejection device was not triggered.

Upon discovering that the mech was no longer pilotable, Euphemia li Britannia naturally climbed out of the cockpit. Covered in the blood of countless innocent people, she still held her gun and fired at the slowly descending Gawain.

Until she noticed Zero coming down from above.

"Ah, I thought you were Japan, it's you, Zero."

"I've thought about it carefully. Let's issue a declaration on Special Administrative Zone of Japan together. The teacher will definitely be very happy about that..."

"Huh, Japan?"

The interplay between his thoughts and the absolute command caused Euphemia li Britannia to make mistakes in his thinking.

It's like a computer running an incorrect program, popping up countless ERROR messages.

But the instant she finished speaking, a gunshot rang out in the silent killing field.

"Huh...?"

Euphemia li Britannia felt a warm sensation all over her body, and then she staggered uncontrollably.

Looking down, she noticed a bullet hole just below her chest, from which blood was oozing out and completely staining her dress.

"Why... Lelouch...?"

She looked up at Zero, puzzled, and thought to herself.

I had clearly said before that I would give up revenge, I had clearly promised to govern the [Special Administrative Zone of Japan] with her, I had clearly been able to see and be by my teacher's side again...

Countless questions lingered in her mind, but they were also gradually fading away as her consciousness blurred.

Zero killed Euphemia for those innocent victims, and this scene was broadcast live around the world.

At the same time, the broadcast was forcibly cut off.

"Begin acquiring the target."

Alpha calmly gave the order, her eyes flickering slightly as she looked at Euphemia lying in a pool of blood.

Even her cherry lips involuntarily pursed.

Did she have no feelings for Euphemia?

No, after all, these were children she had raised, and it was precisely because of her affection for them that she immediately ordered their recall.

Just as the people from Shadow Garden were about to pick her up and put her into the cockpit...

A hoarse, desperate roar erupted once more.

"Give Princess Euphemia back!"

Lancelot, who had lost both arms, suddenly sprang up from the ruins and charged toward them recklessly.

Suzaku Kururugi had witnessed Zero 'kill' Euphemia with a single shot on the monitor, and now he wanted to take away Euphemia's 'body'—he simply couldn't accept this!

Suzaku Kururugi harbored feelings for Euphemia; from their very first meeting, he had fallen deeply in love with this princess.

Because he knew his identity was inappropriate and understood that the princess's heart belonged entirely to that teacher, he buried his feelings deep in his heart.

But now, it absolutely cannot be allowed!!!

However, upon seeing the half-crippled Lancelot angrily driving towards them, Alpha slowly narrowed its eyes and uttered a curt, expressionless statement:

"Foolish bastards... You send the target to the designated location, I'll handle this man."

"Yes, Lord Alpha!"

Beta, who was in charge of transporting the target, immediately boarded the Knightmare with Euphemia li Britannia's body and quickly flew towards the horizon.

"Don't even think about escaping!!!"

Seeing this, Suzaku Kururugi, his eyes blazing with fury, charged forward in Lancelot with even greater madness.

But the next second, the long, sharp blades silently sliced through Lancelot's body in a crisscrossing motion.

In an instant, Lancelot was dismembered into pieces, and even the cockpit was completely exposed to the air.

Watching Suzaku Kururugi struggling to climb out of the cabin, Alpha simply uttered the same words coldly:

"Foolish man."

On the other hand.

Inside the villa behind the Ashford Academy.

"Mahiro, mission complete."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Beta."

Upon being praised like this, the silver-haired girl behind him immediately showed joy on her face, and quietly retreated to the corner of the room so as not to disturb Mahiro.

Normally, Nunnally would be very curious about the girl's identity, but right now, she had no such thoughts and was looking at the pink-clad girl lying on the round table in the living room with a worried expression.

That was indeed Euphemia.

The blood just kept flowing out, quickly soaking the entire tabletop and dripping onto the floor.

"Master Mahiro, please, please save Euphemia li Britannia... You can definitely save her, right?"

Nunnally pleaded desperately with Yotsuba Mahiro.

If it were anyone else, Nunnally might not be so nervous, but Euphemia is different; she's her best friend who's played with her since childhood.

True family.

In her heart, he was second only to Lelouch.

Now, seeing her former sister about to die, how could she not be worried?

However, the next second, a large hand gently covered her head and stroked it tenderly. Mahiro calmly said in a reassuring tone:

"Don't worry, even if she's on the verge of death, the teacher can bring her back."

Chapter 300 Nina's Situation (5.3K)

With a single "Retrospective" spell, Euphemia's injuries were completely healed.

Her fair face had regained its rosy color, and her tattered pink and white dress was restored to its original state, no longer stained with any blood.

Even the blood that had spilled onto the table disappeared as if by magic.

"Whoosh~"

Mahiro wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and slowly exhaled.

"Finally, it's done."

Kaguya Sumeragi and Nunnally were completely stunned.

They blinked in disbelief, looking at the still unconscious princess, and then looked at Yotsuba Mahiro with surprise.
