Chapter 2503: Yes

Once again, Charles fell silent again when he heard Cornelia's words, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were gently closed, unknowingly revealing the domineering aura of a dictator, making people far away in another corner of the planet Cornelia unconsciously held her breath, and slowly lowered her head.

It was not until a long time passed that Charles slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

At this time, Cornelia did not dare to be presumptuous in the face of her father, and for the current Charles, she also felt a little guilty and guilty like betrayal in her heart, and she bowed her head rigorously and replied: "Your Majesty, ten The problem facing the Ninth District is the lack of a high-level combat power that can truly threaten the EU and the rebels. Today's EU and the rebel organization have completely surpassed us in high-level combat power. With the existence of the Nineteenth District, it may have launched a campaign against the 19th District, and once the opponent starts the campaign, I am not sure that I will be able to defend it based on the current military strength of the 19th District."

"It's also because of the enemy's fear of the powerful strength of Lu Luxiu's knights, which also forced them to adopt the current behavior of breaking through our defense line strongholds, but they dare not stay for long and choose to retreat. The enemy did not dare to make an inch of progress, and even set up a 15-minute penalty area around the current general base, which I mentioned before."

"The reason why the enemy will do this is that we have Knight Luluxiu, a superpower who can change the entire battle situation and affect the normal battle by himself. If Knight Luluxiu leaves, even if the Scarlet Knights give more reinforcements, at most it will not be enough. It is only able to maintain the current situation, but there is no way to change the current situation, and it is impossible to bring more benefits to the attack on the EU and the rebels. After all, we have the help of the Scarlet Knights, but the EU and the rebels are also There are also equally powerful organizations to help, even if the Scarlet Knights are strong enough to counter the other two organizations at the same time, they can only protect themselves from the attacks of the two parties."

"And with Knight Luluxiu staying in the 19th district, then the Luluxiu knight will become the highest-end combat power in the 19th district, and it will also become the biggest nightmare for the EU and the rebels, and it will even become the one that breaks the stalemate. The key point is that with the addition of the Scarlet Knights, the enemy will not dare to take any actions that pose too much threat to us, because they need to worry about the stand-alone revenge that Knight Luluxiu can't stop and predict at any time. It can even surround the mighty power of Lu Luxiu's knights, gain more advantages little by little, regain our lost territory again, maybe even drive EU out of this continent completely. "

"In addition to his personal combat prowess, Knight Luluxiu also displayed a very outstanding commanding talent, and he can easily analyze the enemy's dynamics, the weakness of the defense line, and even the possible plans and arrangements of the enemy. , and even saw through the key conspiracy of the enemy's current plan at a glance and made appropriate corresponding arrangements."

"Based on the current situation in the nineteenth district, although I recognize my own ability and have enough confidence in my own ability, in front of Knight Lelouch,

But I have to restrain this confidence. Knight Luluxiu is not only a powerful fighter, but also an excellent commander, and a man who can lead the soldiers to victory at the forefront of the battlefield. I dare not say whether a human being can be called the God of War, but just based on his demonstrated fighting ability, at least half of this title can be carried. "

"To solve the dire situation in the 19th District, regain the lost ground and gain an advantage or even victory in the confrontation with the EU, you need someone like Knight Lelouch to lead this district that is already facing a great crisis. I believe that with the ability shown by Knight Luluxiu, as long as he can lead the 19th district to become the governor of this place, for the sake of glory and to assume the responsibility of this position, Knight Luluxiu will definitely be able to change the current situation."

Charles hummed for a long time, and nodded lightly: "The border regions of the empire are now in chaos, and the major forces in the world and those organizations that popped up all of a sudden are using various methods to target The current empire can be considered to have plunged the empire into a precarious situation. Difficult battles and conditions have also raised some bad rumors within the empire. Victory to re-display the power of the empire and smash those rumors."

"Knight Luluxiu has his own mission, but it is not impossible to carry out this mission in the 19th district. I agree to allow Knight Luluxiu to stay in the 19th district, but not as the governor. The governor of the 19th district can only be You can make him the vice-governor of the 19th district, but I have a request, one month, I will give you one month, within one month you must let me see that he stays in the 19th district results."

Cornelia's face suddenly revealed a surprised expression, and she quickly touched her chest and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your trust."

"Yeah." Charles responded lightly with his nose, and said, "The Scarlet Knights will rush over as soon as possible."

When the screen went black, Cornelia had a rare expression of joy on her face, but then turned around and walked out of the room where Charles was communicating with Charles, and directly ordered to the adjutant standing outside the door: "Help!" I called Knight Lelouch to my office immediately."

"yes."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ran appeared in Cornelia's personal office. In that not-so-large space, he saw Cornelia who was reviewing documents at the desk. Beside her, two people in military uniforms, a man and a woman, were also assisting Cornelia in her work.

After seeing Xiao Ran coming in, Cornelia raised her head and put down the pen in her hand, and nodded lightly to her two subordinates: "Go out, I need to have a private talk with Knight Lelouch, No one is allowed to come and disturb us."

The two subordinate secretaries didn't think too much, let alone their situation. After standing up and responding, they gave a military salute to Xiao Ran and quickly left the office. After walking out, they closed the door completely. Leaving the office alone to Xiao Ran and Cornelia.

Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia who didn't have much expression on her face, it can be said that she was extremely indifferent, raised her eyebrows slightly, and sat down on the chair in front of Cornelia's work, crossed her legs and leaned against her. On the back of the chair, he said leisurely: "Why, you can't wait to see me again after I haven't seen you for a while? Or are you worried that I will do something to make you feel in a dilemma if I leave your sight for too long? about?"

Cornelia gritted her teeth when she heard Xiao Ran's words, took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ran, "I won't worry about what you do where I can't see it, because I can't stop you from doing it." Anything, I just called you here to inform you that His Majesty Charles has just given new orders to the 19th District."

"Oh?" Xiao Ran snorted softly, and smiled faintly: "Don't let me guess, this order must be to let me stay in the 19th District to deal with the current bad situation here, right, and it won't let me take the Governor, but based on my ability and importance, I will still be allowed to have some corresponding rights to facilitate combat control and command, which means that I have become the deputy governor now?"

Cornelia bit her lower lip lightly, and before she could speak, Xiao Ran continued: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, considering Charles' dictatorship, it's impossible for me to become governor, and you would have I have such an idea, but your actions are faster than I imagined. Not long ago, I realized that I don’t want to stay here. I also reminded you, but within a day, you actually disobeyed me. willingness to insist on wanting me to stay here."

Cornelia raised her head and stared straight at Xiao Ran: "I just want to solve the current problem in District 19, if you can solve the current problem in a short time, then no one will stop you from leaving , it will be impossible not to leave by that time.”

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at Cornelia's mouth curled up: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you stay, anyway, it won't affect my plan because of it, but I have to remind you one last time, Cornelia Leah, stop trying to do anything to stop me, delay my plans, it's completely pointless."

"In fact, as long as I want to, I can break through the empire at any time. The Scarlet Knights alone have the ability to completely capture and control the imperial capital. The reason why I am willing to walk this circle in the border area is entirely because I don't want to be in the imperial capital. When great changes are taking place, there is only chaos in the border areas of the empire."

"As long as you think that the chaos in the border region of the empire will become indifferent, and the internal struggle brought about by the chaos will intensify, making the enemy seize this opportunity to break through our defense line and drive straight in, I don't think there will be any problems, even if it is because of this This incident lost even nine-tenths of the empire’s territory, resulting in the sacrifice of countless civilians and soldiers. I also have the ability to use the last tenth to lead those who are willing to follow me to re-develop the new empire to an even bigger place than it is now. to an even greater extent."

"In this regard, I think you should believe that I have such ability, so any step of yours is not delayed by betrayal, and the final consequences will inevitably be borne by this country, but you really have to undertake this huge reform and sacrifice. Are you ready?"

"The smart thing to do, as a member of the royal family, what you should do most is to take the most correct position in this irreversible situation, and then lead those who are willing to follow you to the side that is bound to win, Only in this way can the country go through the period of change in the fastest and most stable manner, minimize losses, and maximize success.”

Cornelia took a deep breath, stood up and pressed her hands on the table forcefully, leaned forward and stared at Xiao Ran, gritted her teeth and said, "I know I can't stop you from going Do anything, not even betray you, and know that I should be on your side, and my heart tells me so, but I am a member of the royal family, and I am Charles' daughter, of the Empire Princess, my reason also tells me that it is impossible to just sit and do nothing, and this is the best I can do."

"No matter what, at least... at least don't go through my hands..."

"After the nineteenth district is stabilized, I don't care what you do. I can also help you stabilize the situation in the border area, but I don't want me to personally participate in such a thing... can you..."

Xiao Ran watched Cornelia's expression change from firm to resistant, from resistant to complicated, and finally from complicated to weak, and even the last sentence contained pleading, facing this woman who had a relationship with him, and Still facing the woman he had sacrificed for the first time, Xiao Ran also sighed lightly and nodded. He also fully understands the complex emotions in his heart as a child and the person involved, because Charles is not only the emperor she is loyal to, It is her father.

Unlike other people, who were forcibly changed to him by the ability of Geass, even if Cornelia's target of allegiance became Xiao Ran, Charles, as a father, would still be in Cornelia It left a deep mark on my heart.

"I promise you, I won't let you do things you don't want to do." Xiao Ran stood up, walked around the table, sighed and gently hugged Cornelia into his arms: "All this was originally It doesn’t seem like this should be the case, although I can completely control your thoughts and make you completely forget about these dilemmas, but that’s all, that’s it, I will help you stabilize the situation in the 19th district, and then you We only need to stand on the standpoint of the entire empire to maintain the stability of the border area, and leave other matters to Lu Luxiu to decide."

"Of course, no matter what, I can promise you that if Charles doesn't seek death, I will never threaten his life. I think Lelouch will also have such thoughts. No matter how much hatred there is, Charles is also him after all. Father, it’s just that I hope you can still maintain your current thinking after knowing Charles’ real purpose of ruling the world.”

Cornelia obediently let Xiao Ran hug him against his chest. Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Cornelia also raised her head blankly: "The real purpose?"

"An attempt to become a god or kill a god is very likely to lead the whole world to develop in a direction that does not know whether it is good or bad. No, it should be said that if he is allowed to achieve that goal, it is estimated that 90% of the world will Nine may completely collapse."
