"Indeed, Your Highness."
Gilbert replied respectfully.
"Our actions in the other world have always been quite high-profile. Princess Euphemia is of noble status, and her appearance at Ashford Academy at such a sensitive time has made her a pawn in the eyes of the forces in the other world."
"and,"
Gilbert continued, his voice lowering a bit.
"According to reports from the surviving guards, the attackers used a cold weapon (a slime sword) composed of a black liquid. If this were truly the work of aliens, their methods might be beyond our imagination... magic, mysterious rituals... these could be threats we haven't anticipated."
Cornelia stopped and looked at him with a determined look:
"Whether it's the Neon Rebels, other forces, or so-called aliens, I won't let any chance slip by. Gilbert, immediately organize an elite team and head to Ashford Academy. Also, contact our frontline forces in the alien world. I need all possible information related to this kidnapping."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"
Gilbert saluted quickly and turned to carry out the order. Inside the room, Cornelia took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger and worry. She knew that as the commander-in-chief of this invasion of another world, she must remain calm in order to find the clues to rescue her sister in this chaotic situation.
"Yuffie, you have to hold on."
Cornelia muttered to herself.
"No matter who took you away, I will bring you back to me safe and sound."
Following Cornelia's order, the Tokyo Governor's Office quickly took action. A team of elite soldiers was ready to follow Gilbert into Ashford Academy and its surrounding areas to launch an unknown search and rescue operation.
Just as Cornelia was getting worried, a teasing voice came from outside the Governor's Mansion. A woman with her true face revealed, like an elf, performed a sword flower, wiping away the blood from the Slime 4.6 sword on the blade, and said to Cornelia:
"You're a seasoned sister-con, just like Lelouch. If you were a man, or if Euphemia were a man, would you be going to play out some of the unspoken, unspoken history of the royal family?"
"Enemy attack! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Gilbert, who hadn't left yet, ran forward, drew his own pistol, and pointed it at the elf-like woman.
The other command members did the same.
"who are you?"
Alpha introduced himself:
"I am Alpha, one of the Eight Shadows of Shadow Garden. I'm here to invite you to visit the other world. Of course, your two sisters and brother will go first."
"Give me back Yuffie!"
"Come and get it if you can! Use your favorite war!"
Chapter 131 Cornelia is taken away
Cornelia's eyes flashed with anger and anxiety. She clenched her fists, her entire body trembling with emotion. As the second princess of the Britannian Empire, she had never before displayed such an unruly side in front of anyone. But at this moment, the safety of her sister Euphemia was more important than any royal dignity.
"Shadow Garden? Humph, I've never heard of such an organization, and I will never allow you to take my family away!"
Cornelia's voice was filled with undeniable determination. She quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation. Gilbert and the other guards were on high alert, but the enemy was clearly no ordinary force. The fact that he had managed to reach this point single-handedly and eliminate all the outer guards without alerting headquarters meant that close combat was not advisable unless absolutely necessary.
Alpha smiled, his expression showing both amusement and confidence:
"Your Highness Cornelia, your courage is admirable, but in this world, strength and wisdom are equally important. Your sister and brother have been safely taken to another world, where they may find a new beginning. You, too, will have such an opportunity, though it will require a small sacrifice on your part."
"Sacrifice? Are you asking me to abandon my country and my family and follow you?"
Cornelia's 04 spirit was filled with sarcasm and disdain.
"No, it's not giving up, it's an invitation, just like you Britannia, you want both."
"enough!"
Cornelia shouted angrily:
"Whatever your purpose is, I will not let you succeed! Gilbert, prepare to fight, we must rescue Yuffie!"
Upon hearing this, Gilbert immediately gave the order to prepare for battle. The guards in the Governor's Mansion quickly opened fire. Even though Alpha in front of them was a beautiful elf, she was now an enemy.
However, Alpha did not seem to be panicked. She gently waved the slime sword in her hand.
However, Alpha did not seem to panic. She gently swung the slime sword in her hand, and the blade in her hand swung at a speed faster than a bullet, in and out of the crowd in the headquarters. Cornelia, Gilbert and others only saw their own people's flesh and blood flying everywhere. Most of the bullets did not hit Alpha, but hit her own people instead.
Cornelia gritted her teeth as she understood how the people guarding outside the base died.
"Stop, I'm willing to go with you!"
Gilbert and the others all spoke out to stop him. They would rather die in battle than see their commander sacrifice himself to save their lives.
Her Highness Cornelia
"Your Highness Cornelia, we cannot let you face this danger alone!"
Gilbert's voice was filled with undeniable determination, and his eyes gleamed with loyalty to his leader and a thirst for battle.
The surviving officers and soldiers around also echoed, and their voices echoed in the headquarters, forming an unyielding wave.
Alpha stopped what he was doing, and looked at Cornelia with eyes that seemed to see through everything, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? Are you willing to surrender? What a surprising choice, Princess Cornelia."
There was a mixture of sarcasm and approval in her tone, and it was clear that she recognized Cornelia's courage and determination.
"But your decision doesn't seem to be accepted by your soldiers. They are willing to fight for you. Such loyalty is truly enviable."
Alpha gently swung the slime sword, and the tip of the sword drew a subtle arc in the air, as if silently threatening anyone who dared to act rashly.
Cornelia took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping across each soldier with determination. Her voice was clear and powerful. "Sir Gilbert, and everyone else, I understand how you feel. But as your commander, I cannot allow any more men to die because of me. I am a member of the royal family, and my responsibility is not just to fight, but to protect our country."
She turned to Alpha and continued:
"I am willing to go with you, but in exchange, you must ensure the safety of my men and allow them to leave here unharmed."
Alpha thought for a moment, then nodded, a hint of cunning in her smile:
"Deal. But remember, Princess Cornelia, your choice will determine the fate of many people. I hope you won't regret it."
Gilbert was about to say something, but a look from Cornelia stopped him. She shook her head slightly, signaling his acceptance of the arrangement. Though reluctant, the other officers and soldiers, at Cornelia's insistence, gradually sheathed their weapons and prepared to follow the agreement. Alpha stepped forward and gently touched Cornelia's shoulder with the tip of his slime sword, as if confirming the deal.
"Let's go, Princess. You have to be mentally prepared. Princess Muzan and the like are often seen in the lives of the Bunitania army. It's just that the protagonist has changed now."
In full view of the crowd, Gilbert led the remaining officers and soldiers and slowly withdrew from the headquarters as agreed.
Before leaving, they saw a magic circle rising in front of them, and Princess Cornelia was pushed into it, her life or death uncertain.
Gilbert and the others were filled with mixed emotions, worried about Cornelia's safety and anxious about their own unknown fate.
The news that Cornelia was kidnapped by an alien from another world at the Tokyo base soon reached the ears of Charles with curly hair through Gilbert's transmission.
When Emperor Charles received the battle report from the front, he flew into a rage. His good mood was instantly destroyed. He roared without regard for his image in the palace, and a telegram was thrown out:
"Useless! A bunch of useless! Why didn't Gilbert GP Kilford just die? My beloved daughter was taken away so they could live, and he still has the nerve to continue living. I order Clovis in Tokyo to watch these useless people commit suicide and apologize!"
The roar of the Egg Roll Emperor, Charles, echoed throughout the empty palace for a long time before gradually subsiding. He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, as if he wanted to burn the entire palace to ashes.
Imperial Chancellor Schneizel EL Britannia, upon seeing this, slowly stepped forward, his tone calm and composed. "Father, please allow me to speak a few words."
Schneizel's voice was particularly clear in the silent palace.
"Lord Kilford is undoubtedly guilty, but the Empire is currently facing a period of turmoil. We cannot lose our minds due to momentary anger. Sister Cornelia has been taken away by people from another world. This is a fact that cannot be changed. What we need to do is to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible and prevent it from deteriorating further."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Charles' anger subsided a little, but his face remained gloomy:
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
Schneizel bowed slightly and continued:
"Father, District 11 has just experienced turmoil, and the people are unstable. Coupled with the abduction of my sister Cornelia, this is bound to lead to a greater rebellion. Although Kilford is not commanding on the front lines, he is quite familiar with the terrain and people of District 11. If he cooperates with the new Governor of District 11, perhaps he can suppress the rebellion more effectively."
Emperor Charles pondered for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. He was well aware of his second son Schneizel's wisdom and foresight, but the fury within him remained lingering.
"Very well, I'll do as you say. But I will personally supervise it. If Kilford makes any more mistakes, I will not let him off lightly!"
Emperor Charles' words were filled with unquestionable authority.
Schneizel nodded in agreement, then turned and instructed his attendants to deliver the order. He knew that this crisis was far from over, and the Empire needed unity to overcome it.
Meanwhile, the situation in Area 11 has become increasingly tense. Unwilling to be ruled by the Bnitanians, some radicals in the Neon Lands have begun to incite rebellion in an attempt to overthrow the Empire's rule.
Before the new Governor arrived, Clovis and Kilford commanded the Brunitania army, frantically suppressing and killing the people of District 11. They couldn't defeat the people from the other world, so how could they deal with you Neon losers?? ! !
Chapter 132 Arrangements for Four People
After passing through a magic portal, Cornelia, Lelouch, Euphemia and Nunnally came to an unfamiliar place. What came into view was a giant dragon hundreds of meters tall, and other identical clones that were 7 meters tall.
Cornelia, the oldest of the four, hugged and talked with her dear Euphie, and also showed her affection and care for her two younger siblings who were once abandoned by their father. Lelouch wanted to kill everyone and everything related to the curly-haired girl, but when he arrived in a different world where he was unfamiliar with the place, he still had to act when it was time to act.
"Is this the other world? Why doesn't it feel like what I imagined?"
"So, Cornelia Britannia, what does the other world you imagine look like?"
A voice made the four of them look at the same time, only to see Epsilon, who brought them here. Alpha was standing respectfully behind the young man, who looked to be the same age as Lelouch and Euphemia.
"who are you?"
"Me? I'm currently Shadow Shangguan Wen, the leader of Shadow Garden, and the future emperor of the Human Union. I'm a greater oppressor and dictator than Bnitanya. I'm no different from your Emperor with the curly hair, except that I'm stronger, that's all."
Such a straightforward declaration made the four people stunned at first. Euphemia was about to say something when she was stopped by Cornelia. She understood her naive sister too well.
In order to use it as a bargaining chip, or to increase or decrease the price, Cornelia said half-seriously:
"If you brought us here just to serve as bargaining chips, forget it. Your Majesty has many children, so it's okay to give up one or two."
Shangguan Wen doesn't believe Cornelia's lies. This war princess is also a person who talks nonsense.
"Hahaha, Cornelia, you're really being stubborn. You say you won't, but in reality, you're worried that your sister Euphemia will be discarded as a useless bargaining chip, just like Lelouch and Nunnally next to you. Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Let's get straight to the point."
Shangguan Wen looked directly at Lelouch, who was rolling his eyes and seemed to be trying to cause trouble.
"Lelouch V Bunitania, I can heal your sister's eyes and crippled legs, and I can also help you get revenge, but what is the price you have to pay?"
Lelouch answered Shangguan Wen without hesitation
"I can give everything I have, except Nunnally, Euphemia, and Cornelia."
Shangguan Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought he would say that everything could be sacrificed except Nunnally, but he didn't expect him to include the Cornelia sisters. Was it a sudden idea after they met?
"Lelouch!"
"Lelouch"
"brother"
Cornelia, Euphemia, and Nunnally all spoke of Lelouch with different expressions. Since they had different starting points, they naturally looked at the problem from different angles.
"Tsk tsk, you can talk, so let me tell you and your sister the truth first. You can think of it as my bad taste."
For some reason, Lelouch and Nunnally had a bad feeling in their hearts, and Nunnally couldn't help but hold her brother's hand tightly.
"Your plight is known to the Emperor and his ghost mother. They used their trick to cripple Nunnally's eyes and legs, forcing her to come to Japan as a disabled person and hostage. I forgot to mention that your ghost mother is possessed by the Knight of the Round Table, Anya Alstrom. I'd also like to add that the one who killed your mother was your uncle, a little ghost named VV. Am I right, Miss CC?"
After Shangguan Wen's death, CC, who was captured alive just a few days after arriving in the other world, looked at Lelouch and his sister with a complicated expression. She was also one of the parties who witnessed the cause and effect of Marianna's assassination. After being captured by Jutis and signing the [Girl's Contract Book] with Shangguan Wen, she completely became Shangguan Wen's person.
CC was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. Her voice was deep and magnetic, as if every word carried the weight of her past.
"Master Shadow is right, Lelouch, Nunnally. Regarding your mother and the real purpose of your being sent to Japan, it is indeed as he said. But you must know that this is not the past that you can change."
Lelouch's eyes instantly grew fierce, his clenched fists trembling slightly, revealing his inner turmoil. Euphemia and Cornelia were also shocked. They had never imagined that such a deep secret was hidden within their own royal family.
They know nothing about Uncle VV and this CC woman.
"Why are you telling us this?"
Lelouch suppressed the anger and pain in his heart and asked Shangguan Wen coldly.
Shangguan Wen raised his lips to a playful smile:
"'It's simple, because I have the ability to change your future, and you need to make a choice. Will you continue to sink into this game that seems simple to me, or will you seize the opportunity I provide and fight for a different tomorrow for yourself and your sister?"
Nunnally clung to Lelouch, and even though she couldn't see, she could feel the strong emotions radiating from her brother.
Nunnally whispered:
"Brother, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Cornelia took a deep breath, her eyes firm:
"Lelouch, no matter what you decide, I will support you. We are brother and sister, and we should face this together."
Euphemia seemed even more confused. She had always lived under the protection of her sister and the royal family and knew little about these complicated political struggles. But now, she seemed to begin to realize that she had to make a choice and stand on one side. In the past, royal princesses usually married domestic nobles or people of the same class abroad for political marriages. Euphemia was no exception, but she had a capable sister to take care of her. If it were other people who did not have brothers and sisters to take care of them, they would have married someone else long ago.
