Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

"How is this possible?" Lelouch looked in surprise at the long-dead Marianna who appeared before him.

"You've grown up, Lelouch." Mariana looked at him with a smile, then her eyes turned, "Ah, Yin Li is still alive too."

Yin Li bowed slightly, "Greetings, Princess Mariana."

"It's really the same as when he was a child." Mariana's eyes darkened. She never liked this precocious child.

Lelouch couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Mom? Is it really you? Or is this an illusion?"

"I'm serious. Although I can only restore my original form with the help of this system."

Mariana spun around lively, lifted her skirt and gave a mock bow.

"Lelouch, answer your previous question. Half a century ago, my brother and I were in hell." Charles spoke, drawing Lelouch's attention back.

"All the royal families fought for the throne. Every day was filled with deception and betrayal, and everyone died. My brother and I felt hatred and sorrow for this world, and then we vowed to create a world without lies."

Mariana smiled and continued, "CC and I both agreed to this oath, but VV..."

She frowned as she spoke, "VV thought I had changed Xia Lulu. He was worried that Xia Lulu would give up the contract, so he attacked me."

"Aniya Alstrom, the girl who came a week ago to train in ladylike etiquette, witnessed my death. My Geass is a power that constantly transfers between people, and it is only activated when my body dies. I sneaked into Aniya's body. At the same time, my consciousness surfaced and I could communicate telepathically with CC."

"CC, having learned the truth, handed the cult over to VV and disappeared from our sight."

Yin Li nodded, and now everything was understandable.

Lelouch was not satisfied with their explanation. He looked at the couple opposite him with a cold look, "Are you going to put all the blame on VV? You clearly sent Nunnally and I to Japan as hostages."

Charles explained excitedly, "Because it was necessary. In order to escape my brother's eyes, I sent you to Japan and secretly sent Marianna's body there. In order to protect everyone, I had to rewrite Anya and Nunnally's memories."

Lelouch didn't expect that Nunnally's blindness was due to Geass, and looked at the parents opposite him with disbelief.

All their tragedies were caused by their selfishness.

Mariana continued to explain everything, "According to the original plan, only one Code of Immortality was needed, but as research has shown, another Code is also necessary. I tried to persuade CC to return but to no avail, so I had no choice but to call on you..."

Yin Li looked at the couple in surprise.

The two of them completely treated Lelouch and Nunnally as pawns.

Lelouch covered his face and laughed.

"That's ridiculous."

He regarded the war as a chessboard and the soldiers as chess pieces. It turned out that he was just a chess piece on a larger chessboard.

He lowered his hand, staring at the two men with cold eyes, "I will deny you."

Lelouch had no expectations of these crazy parents.

Mariana looked at him with a smile, as if looking at a naughty child. "Lelouch, are you saying you want to deny me too?"

"Is your wish the same as the Emperor's?" Lelouch asked in a deep voice.

Mariana admitted.

Lelouch clenched his fists and looked at them, "Forced kindness is malice, and self-righteous love is not love."

"There's no point in saying more. The connection to Ragnarok has already begun." Charles looked at his rebellious son.

"Is that right?"

Yin Li, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lelouch.

He took out the dagger, held it before him, and explained, "This weapon is the embodiment of the Demon Goddess of Betrayal. It's called—Rule Breaker."

As he spoke, he kicked off with his feet and quickly stepped onto the stone pillar. He leaped deep and slashed the vines connecting to the sky with his dagger.

Although Charles and Mariana did not understand the purpose of the weapon, they felt something was wrong when they saw Yin Li's actions.

Seeing the vines connecting to Ragnarok begin to dissipate, the shimmering Mariana could no longer maintain her dignified elegance. "What?! What did you do?"

Charles watched himself gradually dissipate, glaring at Yin Li, "You bastard!"

Looking at Charles rushing towards him, Lelouch stood in front of Yin Li and gave his last order, "Go to hell!"

Chapter 280 Lelouch 57

The Britannian side reached a ceasefire agreement with the Black Knights, which was naturally an unequal ceasefire agreement, including ceding territory and paying compensation, and asked the Britannian army to leave District 11.

The Black Knights announced the death of their CEO Zero.

However, the Chinese side released a video of the night when [Freya] was launched. The seventh knight of the Britannian army, Suzaku Kururugi, launched [Freya] towards the Tokyo Concession under the command of Schneizel. However, Japan, which participated in the War of Independence as the "righteous" side, signed an armistice agreement with it.

Intellectually, I can understand that the Japanese want to reduce casualties, but emotionally...

"We suggest that cooperation with District 11 be immediately halted," suggested the Idavia faction, which held the most resolute stance on independence. "Since they have already reached a truce, District 11 should be expelled from the anti-Brittanian alliance."

"After all, the representative from Area 11 who signed the treaty with us was Zero."

"Be careful with your words. There's no such thing as a treaty between a country and a person."

Lu Mingxiu watched silently as representatives from various countries argued endlessly in front of the screen.

Suddenly the secretary reminded me that a communication had come in.

Lu Mingxiu nodded slightly, indicating that the call should be connected.

The screen flickered for a few seconds, and then a boy with black hair and purple eyes appeared on the screen.

"I am Lelouch VI Britannia, the 99th Emperor of Britannia."

Lelouch, dressed in a white dress, crossed his legs, extended his hand towards the representatives in front of the screen, and made a confident declaration.

"I hereby invite all nations to form a new alliance!"

The EU representative shook his head with a mature expression. "Emperor? You can't just say something like that. Kid, go back to school."

"On December 12th, Britannia will host a worldwide live broadcast. Everyone is welcome to attend my coronation ceremony!" Lelouch announced with a wave of his hand, then looked at the Chinese representatives. "I also ask General Qin Xiuyuan of China to take the time to attend the coronation ceremony. Britannia will also formally send you invitations later."

Lu Mingxiu sat up straight, propped up his hands and looked at Lelouch, "Since this is your coronation ceremony, we will naturally send you our sincere congratulations and good wishes."

Led by Lu Mingxiu, the other representatives had to admit the fact that Lelouch, an 18-year-old high school student, became the new emperor of Britannia.

Lelouch issued a ceasefire declaration to all parties and agreed to sign a ceasefire agreement in the capital of China.

When the meeting was over and the screen went black, Lelouch relaxed his strength and leaned back in his seat, loosening his collar.

"Those guys are really tough."

Yin Li pushed the cup of black tea to his hand and said, "This will happen often in the future."

"Just a ceasefire like that?" Cornelia frowned and sat with her legs crossed. She was a little dissatisfied with the ceasefire.

Lelouch took a sip of the hot black tea, and his fatigue subsided a little. Then he looked at the brave and warlike royal sister, "Although the war has ceased, there will still be wars in the world. Terrorism and violent extremists..."

Cornelia's brow furrowed even more. "Do you think I'm a battle maniac?"

"Hahahaha, forget it, sister. Lelouch is the emperor now." Euphemia smiled at her sister. "It's unbelievable. Lelouch really became the emperor."

Euphemia looked down at the black tea in her hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Everything now seems like a dream. Lelouch and Nunnally are back, and Yin Li is back too.

Looking at the smirking Euphemia, Yin Li suddenly remembered, "Should Euphemia's Geass be eliminated?"

Cornelia frowned and looked at Lelouch when he mentioned this, "What orders did you give Euphemia?"

Euphemia also looked at Lelouch curiously. To be honest, she didn't feel that her life had changed after returning from Area 11. She was now in her second year of high school and would graduate next year. She was considering which university to attend.

"Ah." Lelouch touched his left eye, still a little embarrassed to say this, "The order I gave at the time was, 'Go back to Britannia and be a kind and innocent vase princess.'"

Hearing him insult Euphemia like this, Cornelia stood up angrily, "What?!"

"That's too much. I'm not a vase!" Euphemia retorted angrily.

"Ah, I know. I'm sorry." Lelouch apologized readily, but still didn't want to lose the upper hand verbally. "But the special zone thing is a very bad suggestion."

Cornelia sat back down. "It was a complete failure indeed. Schneizel, in order to dismantle Kyoto's influence and reclaim the Sakura Stone Mine, agreed to establish a special zone even though Idavia had already become independent. He used Euphemia!"

"It's all my fault that I didn't keep good eyes on her." Cornelia looked at Euphemia with self-blame.

Not only did he cause his sister to be used by Schneizel, but he also caused her to be injured and nearly die in a strange land.

Euphemia couldn't bear to watch her sister blame herself, "It's my fault. It's my willfulness that caused so much trouble for my sister..."

"How long are you going to talk about this?" Lelouch interrupted the two sisters helplessly, "Do you want to remove the Geass?"

Since Lelouch and Yin Li offered to remove the Geass, Cornelia was willing to trust them. "To prevent Euphemia from being controlled by you again, we won't remove it for now."

But, she glanced outside the door, "What is Schneizel going to do?"

"Once the situation in the country stabilizes, I will remove everyone's Geass."

Lelouch picked up the ledger beside him and began to read it. He needed to understand the situation in all aspects of Britannia as soon as possible so that he could formulate the next strategy.

Lelouch said it so easily that Cornelia was taken aback.

She gave Lelouch a deep look, "Then I'll keep an eye on you until then."

"Please give me your guidance, Sister." Lelouch held out his hand to her.

The two shook hands.

Lelouch was busy with his work, so Cornelia and Euphemia chatted with them for a few minutes and then planned to leave.

Yin Li stood up with the two of them, "Let's go check on Nanali."

Thinking of Nunnally, Lelouch's eyes darkened and he put down the documents in his hand. "Okay."

Euphemia also said, "Then I'll go and take a look too. Does the royal sister want to go?"

Cornelia shook her head. "No, I still have to deal with those unconvinced resistance forces."

Although Lelouch's succession was supported by the Grand Duke and Prime Minister Schneizel, there were still many dissatisfied nobles in the country or violent elements who wanted to take advantage of the transition between the old and the new to cause trouble, and Cornelia was not at an easy time either.

Lelouch nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, Emperor." Cornelia snorted and walked away, swinging her cloak.

Chapter 281 Lelouch 58

After Nunnally returned from China, Lelouch ordered Jeremiah to remove the Geass attached to Nunnally and put on a prosthetic limb for her.
