Realizing this, Shen He was suddenly a little displeased.
There wasn't much reason, purely because he didn't really like Suzaku.
He always felt that this guy was a useless idiot who couldn't offer any help and always held them back. After Euphemia died, he became even more idiotic.
"Let's go, Euphemia." Shen He gestured for Jeanne to help her up, "These people will be fine, it's just some minor injuries. But if we wait for more people to come, who knows what will happen."
"I'll go with you." Euphemia stood up, wiping her tears, a look of determination on her face.
Shen He couldn't say anything to explain it anymore.
This made him resent Suzaku Kururugi even more, and now he just wanted to get Euphemia to Lelouch as soon as possible.
Fortunately, nothing else happened afterwards. Saiki Kusuo teleported through areas with as few people as possible.
When they arrived back at the Resistance's location, everything was completely different from when they had left.
Shen He only needed to glance around to know that many of the Resistance members had already been controlled by Lelouch.
He had only controlled a portion of them, not all.
Presumably, Lelouch understood that his ability wasn't unbreakable.
This group of Resistance members would be the initial recruits for his rebel army. Relying entirely on his ability to control them would ultimately leave behind hidden dangers.
Kallen was one of those who hadn't been controlled.
She looked at Euphemia, who was still wearing her elegant gown, and couldn't believe it.
The Third Princess, whom she had only seen on television, had actually been kidnapped and brought before her in this way.
"Are you the Resistance?"
Euphemia's face was a little pale.
She had actually already guessed. In this city, the only enemies of the Britannian Empire would be these people.
"Zero."
Kallen looked at Lelouch, "What do you want by bringing the Third Princess here?"
She still didn't understand. What use was there in kidnapping a princess who was considered a figurehead by the outside world?
Although Euphemia was a Governor, many people were clear that she was just an interim Governor used to appease the civilians of Area 11. After the aftereffects of the Shinjuku Massacre were calmed down, a more powerful prince or princess would be replaced. The Britannian Empire couldn't possibly let a figurehead govern Area 11.
Only those who supported the Resistance and also wanted to defect to the Britannian Empire still harbored illusions.
"Two things." Zero looked at the familiar figure of his sister. "First, film a video announcing to everyone that Euphemia is in our hands. Second, take Euphemia and let her experience the brutality of the Britannian Empire."
"You want to…" Kallen frowned. "Bring the Third Princess over to our side?"
Indeed, regardless of whether she was a figurehead or not, she was still a princess. If she were truly persuaded by them and could support the Resistance, it would significantly boost the Resistance's reputation.
Lelouch didn't speak.
But he was sneering inwardly.
What use was it to bring Euphemia over? He was merely using her to enrage their father, to create conflict. Only through constant conflict could they continuously grow stronger.
In the subsequent video shoot, Euphemia was rather cooperative.
She didn't need to do much; just being bound to a chair and taking a photo with a few masked Resistance members was enough.
"You all go, and await orders." Lelouch waved his hand. "I'll handle Euphemia."
Kallen seemed to want to say something.
But she was directly pulled away by her companions, which was the advantage of having some people in the team controlled.
Euphemia quietly looked at the person in front of her, who was wearing a helmet. For some reason, she always felt that this person was somewhat familiar, and she also remembered what Shen He had said before.
Who could it be?
At this moment, the night was already deep, and the abandoned building site seemed a bit eerie.
Lelouch suddenly sighed and took off his mask.
"Lelouch?" Euphemia widened her eyes.
Even though it had been many years, even though they had all grown up, she still recognized him at first glance.
"It's me." Lelouch gave a sorrowful smile, "Euphemia."
"That's great."
Euphemia covered her mouth, her eyes instantly turning red, but she was clearly happy.
Ever since Lelouch and Nunally went missing, she had often fantasized about the day they would meet again.
"I told you all along we weren't bad guys." Shen He finally cleared his name.
It would be too depressing to be disliked by a cute girl for such a reason.
Euphemia looked at these people, then at Lelouch, and she had a lot of things she wanted to ask.
But before she could ask, Lelouch spoke first:
"They're my colleagues." For some reason, Lelouch suddenly changed his mind at that moment. "This is my Master, Shen He. I'm working under him now; he saved me."
Shen He was stunned.
This wasn't what they had agreed upon.
"Mr. Shen He." Euphemia turned around, tightly gripping Shen He's hand, and bowed almost ninety degrees. "Thank you very much."
Lelouch said that Shen He had saved him, so it must have been a genuine rescue.
Euphemia didn't know what Lelouch had been through these past few years, or why he was with the Resistance, but as long as he was still alive, that was truly wonderful.
"And Nunally," Lelouch added. "Nunally is also receiving treatment there now. It won't be long before her leg injuries and eyes are healed."
"Is this real?" Euphemia, who had just stood up, bent down again, her voice trembling slightly. "Really, thank you so much for everything you've done."
That accident back then had caused immeasurable heartache to everyone who cared about Lelouch and Nunally.
Shen He held Euphemia's small hand at this moment, listening in his mind to Saiki Kusuo relaying Lelouch's thoughts to him, a bitter smile immediately appearing on the corner of his mouth.
She's grateful now, but she'll hate him before long.
That Lelouch…
Knowing that Euphemia would inevitably stop his revenge, he had temporarily changed his mind.
He actually wanted to pass the buck to him.
"Don't be so quick to thank me," Shen He sighed inwardly. It seemed he was destined to play the villain. "You can be considered our captive now, because my goal is to overthrow the Britannian Empire. I might even have to kill your father, your siblings. By definition, we are undoubtedly enemies."
Feeling the little hand in his palm tremble violently, Shen He felt incredibly sad.
His favorability rating was probably in the negatives now.
These were clearly Lelouch's goals, though.
Even though he already had a wife, who would reject a cute girl's affection?
