Chapter 489: Schneizel

"Is that so..." The pink-haired girl slowly raised her body and looked at C.C who was walking from the side and smiled slowly: "I just said, you can't always rely on others or something, occasionally Try it yourself~~It turns out...I finally found you, C.C. It's been a few years since I've contacted you...or should I call you ZERO now?"

"Guest—? Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay, I just had a little pain in my stomach just now." The girl said with a smile to the shop owner.

It was still raining outside.

However, the girl who just passed by here has disappeared.

Looking outside, the girl smiled.

Although I don't know what's going on, but C.C gave her a very dangerous feeling just now... She was planning to go up to talk to her or something.

As a result, she bent down subconsciously.

Fortunately, my current body is short and thin enough.

Just bent down and avoided her sight.

"Sure enough, should I tell Charles about the matter here..."

The girl's name is Ania. Of course, she has another identity now. The one who occupies the current body is not the girl named Ania, but...

Lelouch's mother - Mariana.

…

"What is Brother Schneizel looking for me at this time?"

Cornelia frowned looking at the chessboard in front of her, put the chess pieces aside and said with a sigh.

The chess situation in front of us has been decided.

No matter how she moves around, she cannot avoid the fact that she will fail.

"Ah, I know... You are going to the ELEVEN area." Schneizel... The second prince of Britain did not rush to make a move, but crossed his hands in front of him and looked at his chess piece. The younger sister said: "I heard that from my father, and I was going to send you to the ELEVEN district as the governor to replace Clovis."

"Originally—?" Cornelia froze for a moment, grasping the gist of his words.

"Yeah." Schneizel smiled gently, picked up a chess piece, and ate Cornelia's king: "Yes, [originally] it was yours, but... there were some changes in the middle .”

boom--!

"Changes? What happened—why didn't my father tell me—?"

Cornelia stood up abruptly and patted the table vigorously.

"Well... Father just told me that's all, I think it won't be long before he will ask you to tell you about it... and then announce it to everyone."

"In the end what happened?"

"Do you know the real purpose of Clovis going to the ELEVEN area?" Schneizel said, returning the chess piece to its place bit by bit, and laying it out as if it hadn't been moved, preparing for the next game.

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Ah, at least it's related to what I was going to say earlier."

"..." Cornelia gritted her teeth, he has always been very incomprehensible to her own brother... After thinking about it, she sighed: "Well, there is nothing to hide anyway I mean, your intelligence network already knew about it...he has been looking for Lu Luxiu and Nunnally, ah, of course I am going to continue this matter."

"Ah, that's right, that's the point of the matter." Schneizel nodded and smiled, "Lelouchi, that's the point of the matter."

"Lelouchi? What's wrong with Lelouchi?" Cornelia asked in confusion.

"The Black Knights...ZERO..."

Cornelia frowned when she heard the two terms Schneizel mentioned again: "If the situation hasn't changed, they were originally my main target, but now they are yours. What's wrong? ?”

"They are all difficult opponents," Schneizel said with some emotion: "Several governors, not only did not hit them, but made them stronger. They really deserve to be my younger brother. .”

"Ah, they are indeed..." Cornelia was stunned as she spoke, slowly raised her head, and turned her gaze from the chessboard to the face of the gentle and elegant emperor in front of her. Mouth, eyes widened.

His whole body was trembling slightly.

The man in front of him had just set up the chessboard, raised his head, and looked at Cornelia in front of him with a gentle smile: "What's wrong? Cornelia?"

"...you just said... you deserve to be my younger brother??"

"Ah, that's true." Schneizel nodded: "Although you have made good progress in the past two years, when it comes to the person who poses the most threat to me, there is no doubt that it is Lelouch."

As he said that, Schneizel smiled: "Of course, even he is too young. But...at such a young age before, he can pose a threat to me in chess. He is very talented... .After so many years, even I have a little difficulty trying to win him."

He never said that he would lose, he just said [it is a little difficult].

"What the **** do you mean—?"

"What do you mean?" Schneizel put away his smile: "Don't you understand? Still don't believe it? That's right...Lelouchi is ZERO, and he created the Black Knights. Do not understand?"

boom--

a bolt from the blue.

Cornelia had guessed this possibility from Schneizel's words before, but... she couldn't believe it.

Don't want to believe it.

That... that Lu Luxiu actually became a rebel army? No...even the leader of the rebel army?

this matter...

"Where did you know that?" Cornelia gritted her teeth and said in disbelief. Of course...she didn't doubt the authenticity of Schneizel's words. There was no need for him to lie.

but...

Who the **** told him? Where did he get the information from?

"Need to say...Of course it's from Father." Schneizel didn't have a trace of a smile on his face, even a little gloomy: "Of course...he didn't say that Lelouchi is ZERO, he just said Lelouch is a member of the Black Knights, and asked me to bring Lelouch back."

Cornelia was stunned for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Isn't this great? Father hasn't forgotten Lu Luxiu, he still remembers him!"

"Is it... maybe so."

Schneizel pondered slightly and picked up a chess piece.

He still can't forget what his father, Charles DI Britannia, said to him.

[Don't bother me with this mundane matter, just leave it to you. 】

"A common thing... is it..."
