Chapter 708 Brothers and Sisters Who Become Invisible
At the port of the concession, officials of Bunitaria welcomed Cornelia and Yang Hui with the highest level of etiquette.
They never dreamed that they, who thought they were just exiled to this tiny country, would be able to welcome two powerful princes and princesses at the same time one day.
Among the current princes and princesses, the one with the highest status is the crown prince Odiseus V. Bunitaria, and no one can question this.
The second is Schneizel E. Bunitaria, because he is the prime minister of the empire, has always been at the core of the empire, has outstanding abilities, and is deep in his heart.
Next are Cornelia and Yang Hui. Cornelia always controls the empire's army, and has made great military achievements.
Although Yang Hui was once called the "nanny prince" and looked down upon, no one looked down on him after his glorious deeds in Africa spread. Moreover, he is now the only one who has actually taken away some power from Charles DI Bunitaria. Even if it is just a little bit, it is unprecedented. This has to make others wonder whether the emperor's favor is to support Yang Hui and to support him to become the emperor in the future.
In addition, Guinevere, who has always been a socialite of the royal family, has always been famous, but it is only a reputation without real power.
There is also Clovis, a rising star. Although the overseas posting [Ten] means demotion, he is also a prince with his own territory and should not be underestimated.
After that, there were no princes and princesses worthy of attention from overseas officials. When Lelouch and Nunnally arrived in Sakura Country, the highest person in charge of the concession did not show up. He just arranged his secretary to greet them and sent them to Ashford's house without asking any more questions.
So this time when Cornelia and Yang Hui arrived at the same time, the person in charge of the concession did not dare to neglect them and wanted to pull all the people 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, which also recognized Cornelia's dominant position in this trip.
"Your Highness Cornelia, Your Highness Yang Hui, welcome to the Sakura Country Concession. I have arranged a welcoming banquet for you two..."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Cornelia disliked this the most. No matter what the matter was, she would hold a banquet first and then talk about business after the banquet. "We were intercepted by pirates near the territorial waters of the Sakura Country."
"Pirates! These damned Sakura people actually allowed pirates to block our fleet. They deserved death!" The anger on the face of the person in charge was as if the Sakura people had a hatred for him to kill his entire family, but in the eyes of Cornelia and Yang Hui, it was funny. "Your Highnesses, please rest assured. Regarding the fact that your Highnesses were frightened, I will issue a protest statement to the Sakura Country government and ask them to give you a satisfactory answer."
"Puff~" Yang Hui almost couldn't help laughing. Frightened? Such a weird flattery can be thought of? Don't you think about who is standing in front of you?
"No need." Cornelia also tried to hold back her laughter, but the person in charge's eyes were full of coldness. Her first impression was that he was a flatterer with a slick tongue and was useless. "Our army has captured the pirates, but according to international law, we captured the pirates in the territorial waters of another country, so we have no right to deal with them. Contact the Sakura government and ask them to send someone to receive them."
"Captured? As expected of Her Highness Cornelia! You are really..."
"Enough, no more nonsense, go do what you should do." Cornelia interrupted the person in charge's flattery. One or two sentences can be regarded as a clown performance, but hearing too much will make you feel disgusted.
"Ye... Yes, your highness." The person in charge was sweating profusely, frightened by Cornelia's momentum. He didn't expect that his flattery would hit the horse's leg.
He had to execute Cornelia's order and immediately found the person in charge of diplomacy to deal with this matter. He couldn't leave now. Cornelia and Yang Hui had not been received yet, and the fleet had not been settled.
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, with the arrival of the royal sister and brother, Lelouch and Nunnally, who are also princes and princesses, should be the leaders of the welcoming team. There is no one in the entire concession who is more noble than them.
"This... that..." The person in charge was sweating profusely. He had forgotten the existence of Lelouch and Nunnally. His greatest wish was to make friends with Cornelia and Yang Hui, find an opportunity to return to the mainland of the empire, and return to the core circle of the empire, instead of staying in the concession of this tiny country as an insignificant person in charge for a lifetime.
He was not in the mainland of the empire for many years, so he didn't know much about the situation of the royal family. He just took it for granted that the two princes would not care about Lelouch and Nunnally who were abandoned by the empire, and would even hate Lelouch and Nunnally, so he didn't come to greet them at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Not only Cornelia, but even Yang Hui's face turned quite ugly. He had always known about Lelouch and Nunnally's situation. Although they had no worries about food and clothing and had not encountered any danger, they had indeed become "invisible people".
But he wanted to curry favor with them, but he didn't know anything about them and only flattered them, which made Yang Hui want to kill him directly.
"No...nothing, Lelouch and Nunnally are both good, they should be studying in the elementary school of Ashford Academy..."
"Should?" Cornelia raised her eyebrows, 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 stay away from their homeland and live in a foreign country. As the responsible person of this country's concession, you People don’t know their living conditions, where do they put the majesty of the empire? "
"Spare... spare your life... Your Highness Cornelia, I was just... just... just negligent for a moment. Because of the arrival of the two 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. You can wait for the empire's trial."
Even if Cornelia is a powerful general, she does not have the power to deal with the highest person in charge of the concession at will, so she cannot immediately remove him from office and arrest him. He 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 to interfere!"
"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 of supervision when they arrive at any concession. Power, that is to say, I have the power to supervise whether you obey the rules or violate the rules. Are you... treason? "
"This! This is impossible! I am a noble nobleman of the Holy Bunitalia Empire! How can I treason!? Your Highness, you cannot slander me!"
"Really? Then can you tell me what the secret deal between you and Chisong is?"
"Wha...what Chisong? I don't know him at all!" Hearing Chisong's name, the person in charge trembled all over, but he quickly calmed down and denied it.
"You 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 actually don't even know the most famous general of the Sakura Country Young Faction. , Is this a work mistake?"
"So what? As a noble of the empire, I don't have any problem not knowing the general of this small country!" Anyway, if he didn't know him, it would be dereliction of duty at best. He did not dare to admit the serious crime of treason.
"Really? Regetta."
"Your Highness, the intelligence officer reported that at 10 o'clock five days ago, he accepted Akamatsu's invitation to go to Tokyo for a banquet. The location was..."
Reggieta told the information in front of everyone, very detailed, even what food he ate that night, how much he ate, how much wine he drank, and which girls he found.
"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 substantive evidence. The evidence made it impossible for him to quibble.
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 frightened at this time, fearing to follow the same path as his superiors, but he also knew how to watch what was happening. Is it because they ignored the existence of Lelouch and Nunnally?
"Where are they?" Cornelia asked.
"It has been confirmed that the two royal highnesses are in class at school."
"Well, then go to Ashford College and let me know in advance that everything at the college will continue as usual. There is no need to arrange any reception ceremonies, especially the courses in the primary school. They 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 his own, a little bad and a little expectant.
"Yes, your highness."
