In Ashford Academy, Shangguan Wen was playing chess with Lelouch. Neither of them talked about the battlefield, as if the smoke-filled world was incompatible with their tranquility at the moment. The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were like two armies facing each other. Every step implied strategy and calculation, but also silently revealed their respect and understanding for each other.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the chessboard, adding a bit of warmth and leisure to this tense game.
At the end of the game, Lelouch chose to admit defeat because of his inferior skills. What he didn’t expect was that in the chess that he was best at, except for Xiu Zenel, who he couldn’t beat, Shangguan Wen, who had only been in contact for a short time, couldn’t beat him either.
[What a monster. If you learn something from him, it won’t take long for you to be surpassed]
Lelouch commented in his heart.
"Euphemia, why don’t you pour the tea? The tea-water has been finished."
Euphemia, who was called, hurriedly picked up the tea and poured it into Shangguan Wen’s cup.
Shangguan Wen looked at the three people in front of him, oh no, there were four people including C.C and said:
"Why, you look absent-minded, are you worried about your sister Cornelia? Or are you worried about the destruction of the Bunitanian Empire?"
C.C ate delicious pizza and said in an indifferent tone:
"I have witnessed the destruction and extinction of too many civilizations. Bunitania is not the first, nor the last. Now I have become your servant and don’t care about Marianna and others. It’s really sad to think about it."
The pathetic thing that C.C mentioned was naturally Bunitania, who was used as a training target for the [Human Union].
Shangguan Wen looked at c.c and said:
"Heh, the servants don’t act like servants, they are just green-haired witches who are giving up. Forget it, I don’t care about having one more bowl and chopsticks here"
"What about you?"
Euphemia hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:
"Um, can you spare the life of Queen Cornelia? I know I don’t have any bargaining chips to exchange, but I still ask you to forgive the Queen"
Shangguan Wen Then he looked at Lelouch and said:
"What about you? Lelouch"
Lelouch clenched his fists. His damn biological father Charles and biological mother Marianne had given birth to him and Nunnally. The resentment in his eyes was not concealed
"I hope to execute Charles with egg curly hair with my own hands"
Euphemia turned pale when she heard this. She knew the cruelty within the royal family, but she had never expected that the hatred in Lelouch’s heart was so deep. Her voice trembled, trying to persuade Lelouch with reason:
"Lelouch, I understand your pain and anger, but revenge is not the way to solve the problem. What the emperor did was indeed outrageous, but if we fight violence with violence, wouldn’t it be an endless cycle? The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon!"
Shangguan Wen interrupted at this time:
"You are wrong this time. The dragon slayer cannot become an evil dragon. The evil dragon you are talking about is right in front of you"
Euphemia was speechless. Shangguan Wen was the biggest evil dragon, but she didn’t dare to say that the evil dragon should die. The lives of her brothers and sisters were in Shangguan Wen’s hands.
Nunali clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with complex emotions. The experience of her brothers and sisters was caused by her parents. It would be a lie to say that she didn’t hate them, but it would also be a lie to say that she didn’t love her parents.
. "Brother,"
Nunali spoke softly, her voice weak but firm, "I don’t want you to bear more hatred because of me. Now my past pain has been healed and cannot be erased, but I hope to see that you can find your own happiness instead of being trapped by the shadow of the past."
Lelouch’s eyes wandered between the two, and his inner struggle was obvious. He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his emotions.
"I understand your concerns, but I can’t just sit back and do nothing. The death of the bastard Charles is not only my personal revenge, but also a way for Nunnally, myself, and others to be relieved to some extent."
If the egg-curled Charles doesn’t die, other royal children will have to obey the emperor’s orders. Even if they rebel in the middle of the process, not many people will be willing to follow him, because many colonies were established during Charles’ reign, and they also have many nobles in the Bunitanian Empire. The civilians are all people who enjoy the benefits of expansion. Only the death of this highly prestigious emperor can reduce the death toll in Bunitania. The evil dragon in front of them really doesn’t mind killing everyone in the Bunitanian Empire to achieve stability in their occupied areas.
"This…"
Euphemia was speechless, because her father had to die anyway, the difference was whether he died at the hands of Shangguan Wen or Lelouch.
In the shadows not far from Shangguan Wen, a shadow soldier suddenly appeared and said:
"Report, Your Majesty, the person has been captured"
"Bring him up"
"Yes"
Soon, Dr. Lloyd and his assistant Cecil were escorted out of the shadows. They were still holding the chips and wreckage of the drone in their hands.
When was he brought here? Everyone was confused.
"Welcome, Dr. Lloyd, and Miss Cecil"
Shangguan Wen smiled, and his eyes were both calm like a scientist and mixed with a trace of unquestionable majesty. He stood in front of Dr. Lloyd and Cecil, like a king examining his territory.
"Please forgive us for asking without saying goodbye, but at this critical moment, your wisdom and technology are crucial to us, which can reduce the losses of [Human Union] and accelerate the end of the war. I forgot to say that this is Tokyo Ashford College."
Shangguan Wen’s voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to solidify in the air. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Dr. Lloyd and Cecil looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and uneasiness. They tried to understand everything in front of them, but the people around themThe strange environment and Shangguan Wen’s words made everything seem so incredible.
They were at the Imperial Navy Research Institute in Guam before, how did they come here in a flash? Could it be the legendary teleportation magic?
Dr. Lloyd finally spoke, with a tremor in his voice:
"Mr. Shangguan, no, Your Majesty, the drone is one of the masterpieces of [Human Union]. We have just been in contact for a short time. Why did you choose us newcomers?"
Shangguan Wen smiled and replied:
"It is precisely because we are newcomers that we have whimsical innovations. Now the drone series of [Human Union] has derived many models, and the technology is mature and consolidated, but there are fewer new innovative ideas."
Cecil tried to interrupt, but Shangguan Wen raised his hand and signaled her to stay calm.
"I know you have many questions in your mind. Now, I have two suggestions for you: one is to join the Human Union and work together for this goal; the other is…"
He paused here, and an ominous atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.
"Continue to resist, but that will mean that you and everything you cherish will face unpredictable consequences."
Dr. Lloyd and Cecil exchanged a complicated look. I am the fish on the chopping board. If I refuse, I will die here! .
