"Mr. Shen."
Euphemia's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip tightly, not knowing what to say.
She didn't even know Shen He's true identity, let alone his goal of overthrowing the Britannian Empire.
"Master." Lelouch tried not to look into Euphemia's eyes. "Could you let Euphemia stay with you for a while? Let her spend some time with Nunnally... I don't want them to get too involved."
This was different from the original plan.
And it also meant another travel card would be needed.
But Shen He thought for a moment. Even the daily low-level lottery could yield travel cards; they weren't particularly precious. So, he nodded in agreement.
However, he changed his tone, taking on a boss-like demeanor, "Leave the military deployment to you. I hope that the next time I come, it will be the moment of victory."
The Britannian Empire wasn't even worth Chaldea's attention anymore.
If Lelouch wanted to pursue his revenge on his own, they wouldn't stop him, but they couldn't let it drag on forever.
"Understood." Lelouch put his helmet back on.
He was going to throw himself completely into his revenge.
"Lelouch." Euphemia turned her head, her lips trembling slightly, "You still hate Father, don't you?"
"Yes." Lelouch didn't try to hide it at all. "If you're trying to dissuade me, it's pointless. My own hatred, and the Master's orders, are both reasons why I must do this."
Shen He was speechless.
But he had no choice but to take the blame.
Euphemia looked at Shen He again, her heart set on a decision. No matter what it took, she would stop Lelouch and his siblings from turning on each other.
Shen He felt uneasy under the Imperial Princess's gaze, so he simply pulled out a device designed to incapacitate ordinary people.
Euphemia's body went limp, and Jeanne caught her.
"Then we'll take her with us," Shen He said, looking at Lelouch. "What did Nunnally say?"
"The same as before," Lelouch said, looking at Shen He with some apology.
After Nunnally and Euphemia met, his plans would be impossible to hide. Given Nunnally's kindness, she might even join Euphemia in trying to persuade him to let go of his hatred. Blaming Shen He was the best way out.
Shen He was very sad.
It was one thing for a soft girl to dislike him, but even Nunnally, such a lovely girl, would hate him?
With a wave of his hand, he opened the castle gates. He wasn't exactly thrilled, but he had a job to do.
He'd come to Lelouch's world to help Lelouch, even if it meant taking the blame. There was no other choice.
After settling Euphemia, Shen He went to the infirmary with Jeanne and Violet.
Doctor Gekota had already finished the surgery and left. When Shen He arrived, he found Shiki Ryougi inside, talking to Nunnally, who had already woken up.
Nunnally's eyes were open.
"Has it been cured?" Shen He asked, a little happily, as he walked over.
"Big Brother Shen He." Nunnally looked up and called out sweetly, "And Sister Jeanne, Sister Violet."
Her eyes were the same pale purple as Euphemia's. Although she hadn't opened them for a long time, they were still very lively. Shen He had only seen such a clear, spring-like color in Violet's eyes.
"It's good that you're better."
Shen He pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, smiling.
"Nunnally, you can rest here and recover for a while. Lelouch will come see you every day."
"Thank you for having me." Nunnally nodded obediently.
Shen He wanted to say something else, but Violet suddenly tugged on his sleeve.
"May I show this sister a story?"
"Of course." Shen He nodded, somewhat surprised.
Violet rarely took the initiative to show kindness to others.
But this was also a sign that she was gradually becoming her own person. Shen He suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if his daughter had finally grown up.
After Violet was granted permission, she quickly ran off and brought back a thick storybook. She handed it to Shen He and looked up at him with her delicate face.
She wanted him to read it to them.
Shen He smiled helplessly, holding the storybook and sitting there. "This story is about a pair of siblings who depend on each other."
The night deepened.
The small hospital room gradually became quiet. All that could be heard was Shen He's voice as he read the story. Shiki Ryougi had originally intended to leave, but she stopped at the door, standing there quietly.
Because the story was indeed very interesting.
The next morning.
Euphemia slowly opened her eyes.
An unfamiliar ceiling.
The events of yesterday gradually flooded her mind, and she slowly remembered that she had been kidnapped by Lelouch's companions.
However, for someone who had been kidnapped, this room was extremely luxurious.
The bed was large enough to accommodate seven or eight people, the bedding was soft enough to sink into, and a faint scent of sandalwood caressed her nostrils. The entire room's decor, even for someone with the Imperial Princess's knowledge, was undeniably extravagant.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A gentle knock sounded three times, followed by the sound of the door opening.
Several girls in black and white maid outfits walked in and stood neatly by the bed.
"Guest, these are the clothes prepared for you."
"Guest, breakfast is ready."
"Guest, the master is waiting for you."
A few simple sentences made Euphemia understand the current situation, but looking at these maids with exquisite features and exceptionally standardized movements, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
It seemed that the person who kidnapped her was extraordinary.
With the help of several maids, Euphemia, in a daze, put on the comfortable and gorgeous dress. Walking in the luxurious and magnificent castle, she came to the huge dining room, but it was not as solemn and serious as she had imagined.
Some steaming food was placed on a long table. Two little girls, who seemed to be twins, were squabbling and vying for food. A white-haired youth was eating while selecting food to put into the lunch box beside him, apparently to pack for someone. Also, the sword-wielding girl she had seen yesterday was quietly cutting a cake for another golden-haired little girl.
"Make way, Euphemia."
The sound beside her made Euphemia instinctively move to the side.
It was Shen He, her master, and Jeanne, who seemed to be the mistress. They each carried a large steamer and walked over, placing them on the table. When they opened the lids, a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.
"Ta-da! Steaming hot meat buns! Jeanne and I spent quite a while making these."
Before Shen He could finish speaking, four or five small hands reached into the steamer. Since the virtual maid could not use the legendary kitchen utensils, the food made by Shen He himself was still much more delicious.
"Euphemia, you should try some too, or they'll be gone soon."
"Oh, oh." Euphemia seemed to just come back to her senses, "Thank you."
Her heart was already filled with amazement, and a trace of warmth.
She had never seen such a close combination of a building more luxurious than the palace and a dining scene more lively and intimate than an ordinary family's.
After taking a bite of the delicious steamed bun, Euphemia suddenly felt a little sad.
These people weren't bad people, yet they still wanted to overthrow the Britannian Empire, her homeland. Had things really come to this?
"Euphemia." Shen He snatched three buns, along with a glass of milk and some millet porridge, and placed them in front of the Imperial Princess. "In a while, take these to see Nunnally. Also, I hope you can agree to a request of mine."
"Mr. Shen, you can just call me Euphemia." Euphemia suddenly felt worried.
She was worried that Shen He's request would be something that was detrimental to her homeland.
"Euphemia." Shen He wasn't at all polite. He smiled slightly. "I hope you won't tell Nunnally about what we and Lelouch are doing. That child is as kind as you are, but some things can no longer be solved by kindness. I don't want to hurt her, and I believe you don't want to either."
Euphemia was taken aback.
Then, as if she understood, she nodded and softly replied, "Euphemia understands."
She suddenly felt ashamed of her worry just now. The man in front of her was the gentlest person she had ever met.
Even someone like him couldn't tolerate the Britannian Empire's actions.
Euphemia felt a little flustered.
For the entire breakfast, she wanted to say something to Shen He, but didn't know how to start. It wasn't until she was led by the maid to the infirmary that she had to gather her scattered thoughts. Thinking about seeing Nunnally soon, even her steps became a little more cheerful.
They hadn't seen each other in years.
"Sister Euphemia?" The moment Nunnally saw Euphemia, her eyes immediately turned slightly red, and she seemed a little disbelieving, "Is it really you?"
"Nunnally."
Euphemia's eyes were also moist.
She couldn't help but trot over, tightly gripping Nunnally's hands, murmuring, "That's wonderful."
What Lelouch said was indeed true; Nunnally's eyes were healed, and her legs were almost recovered.
What she didn't notice was that at the very instant their hands clasped, a look of disbelief flashed in Nunnally's eyes, followed by deep self-reproach.
However, she quickly concealed these emotions.
These two sisters hadn't seen each other in a long time and had a lot to say.
Shen He had arrived in the Marvel world at this moment.
Although he hadn't received any rewards for what he did in the Lelouch world using the travel card, he was still quite pleased.
This should be considered as fulfilling Lelouch's wish, and changing some regrettable fates was indeed a very fulfilling thing.
But come to think of it, Nunnally is really well-behaved.
Euphemia is also very cute, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to tease her.
Fortunately, he held back.
"Coulson." With a good mood, he walked into his office and called Coulson over. "Are there any problems recently that you can't solve?"
It's rare that he's free right now, and Shen He wants to see if he can solve some things he didn't have time for before.
Who knew Coulson would shake his head and say, "Sir, things have been peaceful recently. Hydra has vanished, and the escaped Inhumans haven't come out to cause trouble. I've already shifted the focus of my next work to my own development."
"Meaning," Shen He was stunned, "I can be a salted fish?"
