The awakened girl was surrounded by the girls headed by Euphemia in the center of the garden.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a scene of laughter and laughter.
But Lei Mingkai, who was standing at the edge of the garden, watching this beautiful scene, did not dare to step forward and participate in this beautiful scene of the sisters reuniting after a long separation.
There is no other reason.
It was the girls around Nunnally V. Brittania, who had just woken up but was unexpectedly able to go out for activities, that made Le Mingkai daunted.
"Why don't you go up and have a chat?"
Just when Lei Mingkai was hesitating, Zero's joking voice sounded in Lei Mingkai's ears as always.
"How time flies! Before you know it, Kai, there are so many princesses gathered around you. Well, there are three princesses with the same pink hair. Tsk tsk tsk..."
When the figure of the white cat Zero emerged from Lei Mingkai's shoulder, he gestured with his paws and counted the princesses who had a close relationship with Lei Mingkai like a treasure trove.
"Shut up! Zero, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Lei Mingkai's eyes twitched, and he raised his hand to pat the white cat Zero's little head.
After being attacked on the head, the white cat Zero grinned, showing its sharp teeth, and growled several times at Lei Mingkai.
"This is a fact!! Kai! Do you know what those women who can transform into space battleships say about you!?"
Recently, White Cat Zero has gained a lot of popularity among the Blue Ship Girls due to its cute little white cat appearance.
Based on this reason, White Cat Zero also learned about Lei Mingkai’s evaluation from there.
"evaluate?"
There was a faint feeling of something bad in Lei Mingkai's heart.
"yes!"
The corners of White Cat Zero's mouth were slightly raised, revealing his white teeth.
"You know, this is a very good and subtle evaluation!"
"Why do I feel that this is not an evaluation that a normal person would want?"
Lei Mingkai's intuition gave him a very bad feeling.
If White Cat Zero hadn't been lying firmly on Lei Mingkai's shoulder, Lei Mingkai would have thrown White Cat Zero into the corner and shut its mouth.
As a result, Lei Mingkai, who did not do this, received criticism that would follow him throughout his life.
The white cat Zero's eyes were slightly curved, like a child who had succeeded in playing a prank, and said in a voice full of joy:
"Kay! Those women call you the "Princess Lover". As long as you meet the princess, no princess can escape your grasp!"
"What?! Cough...cough cough..."
Caught off guard, Lei Mingkai finally learned what that ominous intuition meant.
Princess lovers?!
This title that was placed on top of his head by the blue ship girls actually...
What a coincidence?!
The name that is as similar as the famous Little Butter in my memory was actually put on my head in the form of a title?
Under the excitement, his lungs, which could not straighten out his breath, were beating wildly, causing Lei Mingkai to cough repeatedly.
During the intense conversation, even Euphemia and Nunnally, who were talking, heard Remingkai coughing.
In order to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the daughters of Euphemia, Lei Mingkai endured the discomfort caused by his noisy lungs, quickly left the garden, and ran all the way to the river, where he gradually recovered.
"Zero! Tell me the truth! Is this your bad idea?!"
Trying hard to calm his noisy lungs, Lei Mingkai reached out and grabbed the white cat Zero from his shoulder, and asked fiercely.
The Type Zero, which was extremely ferocious during the battle, was actually extremely well-behaved at this moment.
Those drooping limbs,
Slightly bent airplane ears,
Chu Chu’s pitiful little eyes,
He looked like a weak and helpless kitten.
But Lei Mingkai didn't follow White Cat Zero's tactics.
Others may not know it, but as his partner, Lei Mingkai knows that this girl is definitely pretending.
Just to muddle through.
This routine is used by Zero Type very well.
Otherwise, how could he possibly gain a certain popularity among the First Fleet, which is dominated by women.
"I really didn't say it."
The white cat Zero raised his little paw innocently, saying that he had never betrayed Lei Mingkai.
"Really?"
Lei Mingkai really didn't dare to trust this guy Zero.
"Do you dare to bet with Warehouse No. 1?"
After verification, Lei Mingkai hit the Zero's life gate as soon as he opened his mouth.
You must know that Warehouse No. 1 is a food warehouse specially set up by the Britannia Empire for the Type Zero under Euphemia's order.
In addition to the high-grade cherry stones specially provided to Type Zero, there are also other rare minerals used as snacks.
A warehouse filled with such delicious food is undoubtedly an inverse existence for Type Zero.
As soon as he heard about this bet, White Cat Zero's expression suddenly became wonderful.
But in the end, White Cat Zero gritted his teeth.
"It's a bet! It's really not my fault!"
In the park, suspicious eyes were wandering around.
It seems that he is looking for someone who suddenly appeared and then disappeared at that moment.
"Euphemia, what's wrong?"
While reuniting with Euphemia after a long absence, Nunnally also got to know Wilvia, Aeselam, Theresa and others who were traveling with Euphemia.
The movement that suddenly looked around was very suspicious.
"No. I just feel like someone is watching here."
Euphemia shook her head and did not confess her thoughts.
However, Wilvia, who was sitting on Nunnally's right, had already seen Euphemia's thoughts at a glance, but she did not point it out. Instead, she redirected the topic to its original focus.
"By the way! Didn't Nunnally just say that when you were children, you used to argue over who could become the bride of Nunnally's brother, the man named Lelouch? What was the result?"
When this question came up, not to mention Nunnally's reaction, Euphemia immediately retorted.
"Vilvienne, that was just a joke we had when we were kids!"
"A joke?!"
In desperation, Euphemia subconsciously retorted without considering Nunnally's thoughts.
As soon as she saw Nunnally's familiar face filled with disappointment, Euphemia quickly explained:
"No. Nunnally, I didn't mean that. I still remember that time, when we made the decision of "who will be the bride tonight" and made Lelouch very embarrassed."
Euphemia's memories seemed to have an effect.
The disappointment on Nunnally's face gradually disappeared.
But Nunnally's next words put Euphemia in a difficult position.
"What about now? If Euphemia still remembers the situation at that time, is Euphemia still treating her brother..."
Although Nunnally's question has not been finished yet, all the girls, including Euphemia, know the content of the question.
At this moment, in addition to Euphemia, Nunnally as the questioner, and Aeseilam, Teresa, and Vivian as bystanders were all waiting for the answer.
An answer that everyone knows, but is waiting for Euphemia to tell.
The corners of Euphemia's mouth moved, but she did not say any answer to the question, but tried to divert Nunnally's attention.
"Nunally, it's great that you can wake up and come back! Why don't we prepare to go home..."
Unexpectedly, Nunnally reached out and took Euphemia's right hand.
That childish little face actually showed an unprecedented determination.
"Sister Euphemia, please tell me! Does Euphemia v. Brittania still have the same feelings for her brother as before?"
"Sister Royal?!"
Euphemia was stunned by Nunnally's title.
Ever since they met Nunnally as a child, Nunnally seemed to have never used this title to call herself.
"Nunnally. Why?"
The answer has been known from the beginning.
However, Euphemia remembered the relationship with Nunnally that she had known since childhood, and did not want to ruin the beauty of this moment after they reunited after a long separation.
"Because, I want to know when my brother and I were in trouble, Euphemia..."
After saying this, Nunnally suddenly shook her head, closed her eyes and fell silent.
Seeing Nunnally's hesitant expression, Euphemia frowned slightly, but did not urge Nunnally, quietly waiting for Nunnally to speak.
The almost evening breeze took away the heat of the day, and also rolled up the scattered petals of the flowers in the garden. Among the fluttering petals, a few petals were delivered to Nunnally's hands.
Looking at the few petals falling into her hands, Nunnally said quietly:
"I want to know if Euphemia, who is now the Lord of the Brittanian Empire and rules the world in the name of Queen, will come to rescue me and my brother when they are in trouble?"
After Nunnally said that, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Euphemia's eyes, pretending to want to see into Euphemia's heart.
This is a question that must be answered.
Euphemia was very clear and understood, and she even knew how she should answer this question.
But, that is only the answer given by the Queen of Britannia Empire.
Euphemia did not want to face Nunnally with the mask called the Queen.
"Nunnally."
Euphemia softly called her half-sister's name.
"I don't want to deceive you! That's right! At that time, I did like Lelouch as much as you did. I would even argue with you over the issue of "Who can become Lelouch's New Year?"
There was a trace of nostalgia in Euphemia's eyes.
A touch of emotional nostalgia for the beautiful childhood memories of the past.
"But now we have grown up. Nunnally. When you suffered misfortune, I was also in danger of life and death, and I once wandered alone in front of hell. At that time, there was always someone standing by my side.
Be by my side, support me, encourage me, and accompany me until I defeat death."
"Together with me, I saw the vastness of this world and the mysteries hidden in the deep void."
"Nunnally, the me who used to argue with you about "who can become Lelouch's bride" has become a scene in the beautiful memories of the past."
"Of course. This is not that I am denying my feelings for you now. It's just that Nunnally, the person who can stand by Lelouch's side is not me! And there is no one beside me who belongs to Lelouch.
position."
"From the moment I woke up in the City of Stars, I knew that there was only one person beside me."
