Chapter Thirty-Four: Proud and Coquettish

  War was never an object, and the fuse is just an excuse.

  Conquering the world sounds wonderful, but the road is paved with blood and corpses.

  Innumerable people will be separated by life and death, families broken, wives and children scattered, lovers parted...

  But ruffling a pool of spring water is none of my business.

  About a month after that conversation, the vampire population of Shinzu had exceeded 50 million, enough to start a large-scale war.

  Then...

  "Let's begin." I said to Her Majesty Lelouch vi Britannia.

  The next day, a nearly seven-year-old little vampire was bullied by peers of the same age. With this as an excuse, True Ancestor Country launched an unprecedented strong attack on the EU.

  The power of vampires transcends the limits of human flesh, and even the strongest are like children's toys in their presence.

  With their powers beyond those of mortals, vampires can advance quickly through a hail of bullets and kill fragile humans with a single punch.

  Smash the head, pinch the heart, and as long as you drink blood, you can make the body's trauma recover quickly.

  So, the army of the true ancestral country was invincible in battle and within just three days, it had taken a big bite out of the EU's flesh, occupying a large area of land.

  This is not human at all!!!!!

  The war of the vampires awakened humanity around the world, and in the face of these blood-sucking monsters, all countries united under the leadership of the Chinese Federation to establish the Anti-True Ancestor Alliance.

  By the way, this plan to tie up the entire world with a single rope was proposed by Shunazure himself, the Governor of Bretagne 11th District and the Chairman of the Anti-True Ancestor Alliance's Third Conference.

  By the way, two conferences are long, one is Lolita control Li Xingke, and the other is the current controller of the EU.

  On the seventh day after launching a war against the EU, Shinsei Teikoku became an enemy of the whole world.

  "Oh my, oh me, it seems we've really become the world's enemies, Lelouch." I said to Lelouch who was sipping his coffee, as I watched the report being broadcast on TV with the beautiful female anchor's enthusiastic voice.

  "Wasn't this something that was already anticipated?" Lelouch said without lifting his head, "At this point, what's there to be surprised about."

  "I'm just a little disappointed." Shrugging my shoulders, I looked at the report on TV and narrowed my eyes slightly, "Didn't see any familiar faces."

  "An acquaintance." Lelouch's eyes widened in surprise, then lit up with realization. "You're referring to the White Knight Corps that we used and discarded, now completely useless?"

  "It's useless once it's used, not even a bit of value left." I frowned, looking at the calm Rurushu and said: "You really have a poisonous tongue, Rurushu. They actually helped us a lot, you know."

  "Didn't you also save their lives once?" Lelouch said calmly.

  "That's what they say, but don't you feel very lonely?"

  "It's not that I feel lonely or anything, it's just your mind playing tricks on you." Rurushu sneered and said: "The loneliness you're talking about is probably because you haven't seen Karen, right?"

  "Nothing escapes you." I shook my head and looked at another person in the room, "CC, don't just listen without speaking up, say something too."

  "What's up?" CC tilted his head and took a light bite of pizza, "Hey, Wang Fei..."

  "What? What." I perked up my ears.

  Holding up the pizza in his hand, CC said: "This one, can I have another?"

  ……

  "Eat too much, be careful you turn yourself into a pizza." I cursed viciously.

  I paused for a moment and said weakly: "Hey, Lelouch, I think I'll go see Shirley and the others."

  "A flirtatious guy." CC hummed lightly.

  "I retorted: 'This is a purely platonic friendship, what are you thinking of, you impure guy.'"

  "Is there such thing as a platonic relationship between men and women?"

  "Ah la!" I made a very surprised expression, "You mean that our relationship is not pure, not normal, not legitimate, and evil."

  "Hmm... so that's how it is, I see. I clapped my hands and said: 'I had no idea all along, CC, you actually yearn for an improper relationship with me...' "

  Bang...

  A piece of pizza flew over and slammed heavily into my face, slowly sliding down.

  CC got up and left the hall without looking back, walking back to her own room.

  "Ahah, CC..." I smiled at Lelouch, and then...

  Bang!

  Another pizza flew over.

  He let out a cold snort, Lelouch got up and turned around to head towards his own room.

  "Ah, come on, both of you are being stubborn now." I sighed and stood up, heading to the bathroom. Before going to sleep, one should wash their hands and face clean, that's what a well-behaved child should do.

  Unlike those two arrogant guys, I'm actually a very well-behaved good kid.

  Talking about it, a witch, an empress, who exactly is being arrogant for, are they really this kind of personality? No way, and not cute at all.

  Pride goes before a fall, blonde twin tails are the way to go.

  ……

  The next day, the sunshine was still bright and beautiful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

  Vampires probably don't have a good impression of daytime, so Lelouch hasn't gotten out of bed yet, and CC is also sleeping in. This guy has been getting lazier and lazier lately.

  It was probably for this reason that when I got up in the morning and went downstairs, I only saw Nana and the faithful maid.

  "Good morning, Nana Li." I walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down beside her, "How are you feeling?"

  "Good morning, brother... big brother." Nana Li's face turned slightly red as she called out.

  "Good girl." I smiled and patted her head, feeling as refreshing as drinking a cold drink on a hot summer day.

  Nana Nari calling me "brother" was originally just a joke, but the more I thought about it, the more interesting it seemed, so I asked Nana Nari to call me that, and she couldn't resist my persistent requests and finally agreed.

  However, what's depressing is that Nana only agreed to call me "brother" when Lelouch isn't around.

  If Rukia were here, she would never call me that.

  But it doesn't matter, success lies in taking the first step.

  I imagine that with my shamelessness... no, ability, one day Nunnally will call me "brother" in front of Lelouch.

  Isn't there a saying that goes like this: Autumn has arrived, can Winter be far behind?

  There's no need to rush now, things should be done step by step. I still know that you can't get fat from eating one mouthful of food.

  "By the way, the weather is nice today, Nana wants to sunbathe a bit?" I paused for a moment and continued: "Don't worry, with my abilities, I won't let Nana get sunburned, so please rest assured."

  Nana thought for less than a second, "Then... thank you, brother."
