Chapter 012: embarking on the journey

13days ago Fan fiction 9
The empire's war finally stopped temporarily and began a comprehensive recovery of the domestic economy.

Not enough, when summarizing the war and evaluating achievements, Mariana, the fifth imperial concubine of the empire, was excluded from the list.

Mariana didn't care much about this

After all, as the imperial concubine, her status at this time was no longer up. Even if everyone didn't say it, she knew very well that in the eyes of the imperial emperor, Mariana was probably much more important than the first knight Bismarck.

So this time's record was just a heavy move in the unbeaten legend of the flashing Marianna.

Cornelia happily welcomed Mariana's return, and the worship and longing contained in her eyes seemed to be even more intense.

However, she was also a little disappointed in her heart while being excited.

When Mariana comes back, it indicates that she cannot stay in the Aries Palace and has lived with Lelouch, a couple who are so lonely and fairy-loving.

Moreover, Mariana's legendary record this time also stimulated Cornelia's heart

If you stay with Lelouch and live a life of Veve

She might sink into this sweet tenderness, and maybe she could not protect Lelouch and become a woman who is worthy of Lelouch.

In Cornelia's heart, although she had given up competing for the throne, she became the master of the empire in order to help Leloucho.

She also needs to work harder. Her old opponent, the most outstanding and powerful candidate among the heirs of the throne, is considered to be the closest existence to the emperor, and will be the biggest obstacle for Lelouch to step on the throne.

For Lelouch, she had to eliminate this threat. In order to eliminate Shunízel's threat, she had to be better than him.

And before His Majesty, he can show a strong competitive spirit for the throne. Only in this way can he attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor and gain greater power and power

After all, personal force is limited in front of an army, let alone an empire aimed at conquering the world.

On the night of Mariana's return, Cornelia gave Lelouch his last tongue bath and had dinner with Mariana and Lelouch.

While enjoying the dessert after dinner, Cornelia, who had been hesitating, looked back and forth between Mariana and Lelouch for several minutes, finally made up her mind

Lord Mariana! I...I want to ask you for advice if I have something to do!

Oh, what's the matter?

Mariana had long noticed Cornelia, who was restless, and saw that she finally spoke, smiled and put down her coffee, and asked softly

If...what should I do if I want to compete for the throne?

Cornelia's flashing eyes secretly looked at Lelouch in the wet nurse's arms, and he was looking at himself with his charming violet eyes.

From his deep eyes, Cornelia seemed to have received encouragement

The little fist was clenched tightly, and he plucked up all the courage in his heart and said loudly

Don’t ask me this question, but ask yourself what you think you can do!

A hint of surprise flashed in Mariana's eyes. She didn't expect Cornelia would ask herself this question.

No, this is not a question, but Cornelia is begging for advice from herself

Cornelia, have you finally awakened?

Mariana quietly stared at the eleven-year-old girl in front of her. From that still tender face, she saw a strange maturity and firmness, which was completely different from her who could only look at His Majesty for a few seconds a week ago.

I……

Cornelia wanted to speak but stopped, and fell into deep thought, as if she was thinking about Mariana's words.

First of all, only by recognizing yourself can you choose your future path!

There is only one way to inherit the throne, that is, to get the recognition of Your Majesty! You should be very clear about how to get the recognition of Your Majesty!

Competition, is there still a battle?

Not only with the enemy, but also with your own brothers and sisters, and even the man sitting on the imperial chair

Cornelia knew very well that her father, who stood at the top of the empire, had always emphasized the theory of the prey on the weak and encouraged them to compete with each other.

In the competition, only the best person who wins in the end is the heir to the throne!

He even told them personally that as long as you can defeat me, this throne is his, the strong will survive the fittest!

That's what His Majesty the Emperor said, and that's what he did.

To the empire, to all the people of the empire, and even to their own children

They all strictly implement such a set of laws of nature

But, that kind of thing! I...

Can't you do it? When you say that to me, you should have such awareness. Even if the enemy is me, you cannot hesitate at all and bravely wave the sword in your hand at me!

Mariana said, her tone gradually became stern, with a sharp aura between her eyebrows and eyes

With...you as your enemy...the enlightenment!

Cornelia's hand was tighter, and she hadn't thought of these things before she made the decision.

Not bad, because I am the Emperor’s Knight!

A staunch knight brought Cornelia from the right. If she wanted to inherit the throne, then the current emperor was his goal.

If that day really comes, in order to seize the throne, he has to be an enemy of His Majesty the Emperor, then as His Majesty’s knight, Mariana will naturally become her enemy.

What is a knight? A knight is the shield that protects the lord, and a knight is the sword that destroys the enemy for the lord!

Isn’t her decision just to become Lelouch’s sword and shield?

It's the same, she and Lord Mariana!

Cornelia finally knew what Mariana began to say, and realized what she meant!

call……

Cornelia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled

When she opened it again, the confusion in her eyes had completely disappeared, and she became a firmness that was moving forward.

I understand. If it really happened to that time, Lord Mariana, I would definitely regard you as my enemy and raise the sword in my hand!

For Lelouch, even if it is against you, the goal I long for! Lord Mariana!

Seeing that Cornelia had no more confused eyes, Mariana nodded with satisfaction. Very good, Cornelia, it was this expression, you did not disappoint me!

Since Cornelia has made up her mind, Mariana no longer beat around the bush and began to analyze her initial problems for Cornelia.

However, she would never have thought that Cornelia's enlightenment was not for competing for the throne, but for being a knight of Lelouch

From the beginning, Mariana guessed wrongly!

Administration, politics, military, economy, planning, market, culture, etc.! All of them can allow you to achieve certain achievements and then enter His Majesty's sight, but for the empire's plan to conquer the world in the future, there are only two most important things! Politics and military!

Mariana said, stretching out her two fingers and continuing

Politics is used to stabilize the country, create a stable environment, and provide support for military operations! And military includes maintaining domestic public security, developing new weapons and arms, external wars, dominating conquered land and people, plundering the empire's wealth and resources, and in turn serving the empire's politics!

These include many conditions, such as political achievements, military achievements, personal force and wisdom, followers and forces behind you, etc., which can all become part of your strength!

Just like you and His Majesty the Emperor complement each other, you have extraordinary personal force, and His Majesty the Emperor has all the power beyond personal force! Superb wisdom, powerful political skills, all people are his followers, and the entire empire is his power!

Cornelia, who has already recognized her true position, replied confidently, in her eyes, there was a brilliance of wisdom, extremely dazzling

Oh, isn't it very clear! Cornelia, you can see through this, it seems that you have really grown a lot! So, what is your choice?

Mariana looked at Cornelia with relief, who seemed to have grown up quickly in just one week. She wanted to hear her say the answer she wanted.

The prime minister is the representative of politics, the knights of the round table are the representative of individual force, the generals are the representative of the army, the nobles and consortiums are the representative of power, and the loyal and powerful subordinates are the representative of followers.

Cornelia slowly stood up, as if she had taken an oath, and solemnly told her answers, like Mariana whom she had infinite longing for.

Shunèzel must have chosen the political path, and I am already much behind him, so now there is only one choice left to me!

As he said that, Cornelia raised her fist and said loudly: I want to go to the army and follow the path you have walked!

A good choice, Cornelia! You are arrogant and a realistic activist, and you are not suitable for politics at all. So the army is the best place for you!

Hearing Mariana's evaluation of herself, Cornelia couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's really good. She has never liked those civil servants who always talk nonsense, and have one thing on the surface and one thing on the back.

Politics has always been dirty, and she has a straightforward and generous personality. The thing she hates the most is this kind of thing

Although you are not as powerful as your force, you have extraordinary command and strategy on the battlefield. Plus your straightforward and generous spirit and courage that are not inferior to men. In the army that is respected by military achievements and strength, you can definitely shine. Plus your noble status as the second princess of the Empire! I am sure that within a few years, your name will replace me and become the new female war god of the Empire! Your prestige and power in the army will be unparalleled! The road that Mariana once walked can be said to be the best reference for Cornelia. Maybe she cannot have the superman strength of Mariana, but with the second princess of the Empire, she will be much higher than Mariana from the starting point. Therefore, her future achievements can even surpass Mariana's name of shining light.

Although during this period of the empire's dormant period, the center of the empire in the early stage will be on the economy and politics. After digesting the resources and population of South America, the empire's economy will also improve greatly, in the middle and late stages, the empire's center of gravity will definitely approach the military. I believe that by that time, Your Majesty should be able to solve hidden dangers within the empire! The empire's chariot will also be restarted again!

Therefore, these years are destined to be Sulzell's time, and his talents and advantages in politics are incomparable to you.

Cornelia nodded and admitted that, indeed, compared with the first prince who has no characteristics and mediocre ability, as the second prince of the empire who is equal to her, she is a recognized genius.

He has unparalleled sensitivity and talent for politics!

On the contrary, as a girl, she likes to dance with swords and guns and enters the non-commissioned officer academy. The path they chose, which is completely different from their identities and genders, has always been the central topic of the upper class of the empire!

But neither she nor Shunazel had ever regretted their decision

Because, this is their own decision

In order to walk with you, I will embark on a journey. Even if the road ahead is a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and the abyss and hell of despair, I will not retreat.

Lelouch!
