Chapter 708: Brothers and sisters who became transparent
At the port of the concession, Bunitalia officials welcomed the arrival of Cornelia and Yang Hui with the highest standards of etiquette.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that they, who thought they were just sent to this small country, would one day be able to welcome two powerful princes and daughters at the same time.
Among the current princes and daughters, the one with the highest status is Crown Prince Odisseus V. Bunitalia. No one can question this.
The second is Schneizel EI Bunitalia, because he is the prime minister of the empire and has always been at the core of the empire. He has outstanding abilities and a deep city.
Next are Cornelia and Yang Hui. Cornelia always has the empire's army in her hands and has made great achievements in battle.
Although Yang Hui was once called the "Nanny Prince" and looked down upon by others, after his glorious deeds in Africa spread, no one looked down upon him, and he is now the only person who has graduated from Charles DI· Bunitaglia actually took away some of the power from someone, even just a little bit, but it was unprecedented. This had to make others wonder whether His Majesty the Emperor's favor was to support Yang Hui and vaguely support his future as emperor. mean.
In other words, Guinevere, who has always been a courtesan of the royal family, has always been famous, but it is just fame without real power.
There is also the rising star of Clovis. Although the expatriate [Ten] means decentralization, he is also a prince who has his own territory and should not be underestimated.
After that, there were no princes or princesses worth the attention of the expatriate officials. Including when Lelouch and Nunnally arrived in Sakura Country, the top person in charge of the concession was not there, and only arranged for his secretary to greet them. , and then sent it to Ashford’s house without further questioning.
So this time Cornelia and Yang Hui arrived at the same time, and the person in charge of the concession did not dare to neglect them. He wanted to pull everyone in the concession to greet them.
As the flagship aircraft carrier docked, Cornelia and Yang Hui walked down surrounded by their respective knights. Yang Hui and his knights lined up behind Cornelia and her knights. This It also recognized Cornelia’s dominant position in this trip.
"Your Highness Cornelia, Your Highness Yang Hui, welcome to the Sakura National Concession. I have arranged a reception banquet for you two..."
"Let's not talk about this first." Cornelia Ya doesn't like this the most. No matter what it is, hold a banquet first, and then talk about business after the banquet. "We encountered pirates intercepting near the territorial waters of Sakura Country."
"Pirates! These guys The damn Sakura people actually allowed pirates to block our fleet. They really deserve death!" The anger on the person in charge's face was as if the Sakura people had hatred for him to kill his whole family, but in the eyes of Cornelia and Yang Hui, it was He found it funny and said, "Your Highnesses, please rest assured. I will issue a statement of protest to the Sakura Country government regarding the fact that Your Highnesses were frightened, and ask them to give Your Highnesses a satisfactory answer."
"Pfft~" Yang Hui almost couldn't hold back his laughter, was he frightened? Can you imagine this kind of weird flattery? Don’t even think about who are the people standing in front of you?
"No need." Cornelia also suppressed a smile, but the eyes she looked at the person in charge were also full of coldness. Her first impression was that of a smooth-tongued flatterer who was not very useful, "I The military has captured the pirates, but according to international law, we are pirates captured in the territorial waters of other countries, so we have no power to dispose of them. Contact the Sakura Country government and ask them to send someone to receive them."
"Captured. ? As expected of Her Majesty Cornelia! You are really..."
"That's enough, no more nonsense, go do what you need to do." Cornelia interrupted the person in charge. , after listening to one or two sentences, you can act like a clown, but after listening too much, you will feel disgusted.
"Ye...Yes, your highness." The person in charge was sweating coldly. He was frightened by Cornelia's momentum. He didn't expect that his flattery would be slapped on the horse's leg.
He must carry out Cornelia's order and immediately find the person in charge of diplomacy around him to deal with the matter. He can't leave now. Cornelia and Yang Hui haven't received her yet, and the fleet hasn't been settled yet.
But he immediately regretted it and wished he could do it himself.
"By the way, where are Lelouch and Nunnally? Why didn't they come to greet us?" Cornelia asked coldly.
Logically speaking, Lelouch and Nunnally, who are also the prince and princess, should be the leaders of the team to welcome the arrival of the imperial sister and the imperial brother. There is no one with more noble status than them in the entire concession. .
"This...that..." The person in charge was sweating coldly. He had completely forgotten the existence of Lelouch and Nunnally. His biggest wish was to make friends with Cornelia and Yang Hui and find opportunities. Return to the mainland of the empire, return to the core circle of the empire, instead of living as an insignificant person in charge in the concession of this small country for the rest of your life.
He has been away from the empire for many years, so he doesn't know much about the situation of the royal family. He just takes it for granted that the two highnesses will not care about Lelouch and Nunnally who have been abandoned by the empire, and will even hate Lelouch and Nunnally. That's why they didn't come to greet him at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Not only Cornelia, but also Yang Hui's face became quite ugly. He had always understood the situation of Lelouch and Nunnally, although he had no worries about food and clothing. , did not encounter any danger, but did become a "transparent person".
But wanting to curry favor with them without any understanding, and only flattering them, Yang Hui couldn't help but want to kill him directly.
"No...it's nothing. His Highness Lelouch and His Highness Nunnally are both very good. They should go to the elementary school of Ashford College..."
"Should?" Ke Nelia raised her eyebrows and was so frightened that the person in charge almost knelt down, "For the sake of the empire, the princes and princesses of the empire bear the burden of symbolizing friendship and are far away from their homeland and live in a foreign country. As the person in charge of this country's concession, you don't know. Where do they put the majesty of the empire in their living conditions? "Where do you put the majesty of the royal family?" "Forgive me... Your Majesty, I was just... just a moment of negligence." , because of the arrival of the two His Highnesses, I have been busy with reception matters, so..."
"Any reason is an excuse! Since they are welcoming us, why are my brothers and sisters not there?"
"This...I just..."
" I will truthfully report this matter to the cabinet meeting, and you can wait for the trial of the empire.”
Even if Cornelia is a powerful general, she does not have the power to deal with the top person in charge of the concession at will, so she cannot do it immediately. His removal from office and his arrest must be reported to the cabinet meeting, which will make a decision.
But even so, the fate of the person in charge is also the difference between early death and late death. Cornelia's speech still has a great influence in the cabinet meeting.
However, Cornelia can't do it, but Yang Hui can. All he needs to do is lay some charges and provide evidence, and then he can be raped directly.
"No, Sister Huang, just order the military police to arrest him." Yang Hui said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Cornelia frowned and looked at Yang Hui.
"No! Your Highness Yang Hui! Even you can't do this!" the person in charge shouted, "The decision of the top person in charge of the concession must be made at the imperial cabinet meeting. Even if you are the prince, you have no right. Interference!”
"I really have no right to interfere." Yang Hui sneered. There are many ways to deal with such people, "I really don't have the right to directly remove you from your post, but... the traveling royal family will automatically be given the power to supervise when they arrive at any concession. Power, that is to say, I have the power to supervise whether you obey the law or violate the law. Are you...treason?"
"This is impossible! I am a noble noble of the Holy Bunitalia Empire. ! How could it be treason? Your Majesty, you can’t slander me!”
“Can you tell me what’s going on with Chi Song?”
"Wha...what Chisong? I don't know him at all!" Upon hearing Chisong's name, the person in charge trembled all over, but he quickly calmed down and denied it.
"Don't know? That's very strange." Yang Hui pretended to be confused, but the disdain on his lips never stopped, "As the top person in charge of the Sakura Country Concession, you are not even the top of the Sakura Country Youth Faction. I don’t even know the famous generals. Is this a mistake on your part?”
"So what? As a noble of the empire, I don't have any problem knowing the general of this small country!" Anyway, if he didn't know him, it would be dereliction of duty at best. He didn't dare to admit the crime of treason.
"Really? Reggieta."
"Your Highness, the intelligence officer's report is that at 10 o'clock in the evening five days ago, he accepted Akamatsu's invitation to go to Tokyo for a banquet. The location was ..."
Lejeta told the information in front of everyone, in great detail, including what food he ate that night, how much he ate, how much wine he drank, and what items he found. Every girl said it clearly.
"You...you...how...how is it possible..." The person in charge knew that he was finished. Although he had not seen any substantive evidence, he had said it so clearly, and it was all true. , there must be substantial evidence that prevents him from making excuses.
Cornelia glanced at Yang Hui and saw that this was all true, so she asked the gendarmerie to arrest him immediately and imprison him pending interrogation. As for his work, he could just leave it to his deputy for the time being.
"Your Highnesses, do you need me to invite His Highnesses Lelouch and Nunnally..." The deputy was also very scared at this time, afraid of following the same path as his superiors, but he also knew how to watch what was happening. Isn't all this because they ignored the existence of Lelouch and Nunnally?
"Where are they?" Cornelia asked.
"It has been confirmed that the two royal highnesses are attending classes at school."
"Well, then go to Ashford College and inform you in advance that everything at the college will continue as usual, and there is no need to arrange any reception ceremony. Especially the courses in the elementary school cannot be affected in any way." Cornelia thought of something and looked at Yang Hui, and found that Yang Hui's expression was exactly the same as hers, a little bad and a little expectant.
"Yes, yourhighness."
