Chapter 710 The only Correct Answer

After school, Cornelia and Yang Hui picked up Lelouch and Nunnally and went to the Ashford family together. They were accompanied by Lelouch and Nunnally's senior, the eldest daughter of the Ashford family, Mirei Ashford, who was one year older than Lelouch.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, are you really as powerful as the rumors say?" Mirei asked excitedly. Although she was a little bit scornful when she grew up, she was still a lively girl when she was young, not as restrained as others.

Her parents were also scared at first, afraid of offending Yang Hui and Cornelia, but they were good at observing words and expressions and found that Cornelia and Yang Hui did not dislike Mirei's liveliness, so they simply did not remind her and make them unhappy.

"Rumors? What rumors? Why don't I know it myself?" Yang Hui asked Mirei.

"That's it...that's it...um..." Mirei tried to recall the rumors she heard, "His Highness Yang Hui turned into a superman, he can do anything, and in Africa, he frightened the enemy into surrendering with a shake of his tiger body!"

"Puff~! Hahahaha..." Cornelia laughed with her stomach in her arms, and Nanali laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and even Lelouch, who pretended to be arrogant, couldn't help but turn his head to hold back his laughter.

"No, you believe such exaggerated rumors?" Yang Hui felt it was ridiculous that Mirei actually believed such outrageous rumors.

"I believe it!"

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed." Yang Hui spread his hands, "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary person."

However, when she heard Yang Hui say that he was an ordinary person, Cornelia's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Although it was exaggerated, this exaggeration was also justified. After all, most of the credit for the victory in the African battlefield was Yang Hui's. Without Yang Hui, she didn't know how long she would have to stalemate with the EU in Africa.

Moreover, Yang Hui not only has explosive personal combat power and outstanding military command ability, but also has the top design and development capabilities of Knightmare in the empire. The replacement of the empire's Knightmare is also due to Yang Hui.

Extraordinary personal combat power, terrible military command ability, and top scientific research ability, the combination of the three, it is okay to be called a superman, anyway, it has absolutely nothing to do with the word ordinary people.

"Eh!??? So it's not? So disappointed."

"Yes, if I really am a superman..."

"If so?" Mirei's eyes were twinkling with little stars, looking forward to it.

"I will definitely kidnap the cute little Mirei as soon as possible!"

"Ah~! Your Highness Yang Hui, how can you say such a thing to a lady?" Mirei covered her red face shyly.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Cornelia, Lelouch or Nunnally, they all smiled at the same time. Yang Hui also faced his younger brothers and sisters in the palace with this image. Although he was a little black-bellied, he made the cold palace full of warmth.

When they came to Ashford's house, they didn't have the gorgeousness and exaggeration of the imperial nobles. Instead, they were quite simple, but full of knowledge. This feeling made Cornelia and Yang Hui feel very comfortable.

There were not many members in Ashford's family. In addition to the dean and his wife and Mirei, there were only Mirei's uncle and his wife and their son.

It was not a luxurious dinner, but it was very exquisite. During the meal, Cornelia and the elders of Ashford's family also asked some questions in the field of education, and did not talk about anything related to the situation in the empire.

After dinner, Cornelia and Yang Hui should have left, but because of Nunnally's reluctance, Cornelia and Yang Hui decided to stay at Ashford's house tonight to accompany Lelouch and Nunnally.

"It's not that simple for you and Cornelia to come to Sakura Country this time?" Lelouch suddenly asked at night. He was not worried that Nunnally would hear it. At this time, Nunnally had been taken away by Mirela to play, and Cornelia was there to accompany her.

"Hmm? Why are you asking this?" Yang Hui asked Lelouch, and sighed that he was worthy of being Lelouch. He had a glimpse of the future at such a young age.

"Is the Empire planning to take action against the Sakura Country? When?" Lelouch did not answer Yang Hui, and continued to ask his own questions.

"...Why? Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Yang Hui asked Lelouch jokingly.

"...Well, I must go back."

"Then go and make a scene in front of him, and implicate Nunnally, and be exiled with you?"

"Nunnnally..." When Nunnally was mentioned, the firmness and ruthlessness in Lelouch's eyes began to waver, but soon regained their firmness, "I must find out who killed my mother."

"You? How to find out?" Yang Hui looked up at the starry sky outside the window and asked Lelouch.

"...I will slowly cultivate my own power, and then start investigating from clues..."

"And then be dealt with inexplicably?"

"...I won't..."

"You are too arrogant, Lelouch." Yang Hui interrupted Lelouch and said.

"..."

"No matter how smart you are, you are still a child. The Empire is not a child's play, and you can't wade through the water."

"...I still have you..."

"I won't be your pawn, Lelouch."

"...We can cooperate..."

"Cooperation requires equality between both parties. What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?"

"I..." Lelouch opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He really didn't have the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Yang Hui. What could he offer Yang Hui?

Nothing!

Even his arrogant mind, Yang Hui still didn't take it seriously.

"Help me..."

“…” Yang Hui retracted his gaze from the starry sky and looked at Lelouch, with a gentle smile on his face, and put his hand on Lelouch’s head, “Finally found the right answer, Lelouch.”

Yang Hui is a sentimental person, but Lelouch wanted Yang Hui to be his pawn at first, Yang Hui would never agree, he would not be anyone’s pawn; later he wanted to cooperate with Yang Hui, but he was not qualified to cooperate with Yang Hui at all.

Now, Lelouch finally found the right answer, the only answer that made Yang Hui willing to help him, that is family affection, Lelouch is Yang Hui’s younger brother, he asked his brother as a younger brother, Yang Hui could not refuse.

"…I'm sorry, I…"

"You've been like this since you were a kid, Lelouch." Yang Hui rubbed Lelouch's head and said to him, "The world can be seen as a chessboard, and everyone can be seen as a chess piece, but…the world is not a chessboard, and not everyone will become a chess piece. The world in your eyes…should not be a world composed of black and white grids and black and white chess pieces."

"…"

"I will help you investigate the truth of that incident, but before I find out the truth, don't worry about other things and study hard." Yang Hui retracted his hand and said to Lelouch.

"I can help!"

"That's after you graduate from school, and…what can you do with your small body?" Yang Hui started to be unserious again, looking at Lelouch with a playful look on his face.

"You! Humph!" Lelouch still maintained his tsundereness, but he remembered what Yang Hui said. His physical fitness was indeed too poor, and he would remember to exercise.

"Okay, let's go find Nunnally and the others."

"Yeah."

Happy times always pass quickly. After being happy, reluctance replaces the theme of life. Cornelia and Yang Hui are not here to play. They have their own work to do. After sending Lelouch and Nunnally to school, they parted ways.

After returning to the consulate in the concession, the temporary person in charge came to report without stopping. The people of Sakura Country said that they wanted to see Cornelia and Yang Hui today. On the one hand, they apologized to Cornelia and Yang Hui, and at the same time received the "pirates" captured by Bunitaria. On the other hand, they were eager to discuss the joint military exercise.

To be honest, Sakura Country was quite arrogant at the beginning, thinking that the army of the Bunitaria Empire was vulnerable. Who knew that the entire fleet sent to "welcome" was captured by the other side without firing a shot, which almost frightened the top leaders of Sakura Country.

The people of Sakura Country are like this, self-righteous, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, showing off their power in front of the weak, and trembling in front of the strong. To sum it up in one word, that is "cheap"!

So the Imperial Fleet that frightened them was parked on the coastline of Sakura Country, making them unable to sleep, and they quickly finished some joint military exercise and sent them away.

"We are tired from the journey, and we are not used to the climate of this country. We need to rest for two days."

Now it is the people of Sakura Country who are anxious, so Cornelia naturally does not need to be anxious. It is not bad to leave them alone for a few days and have a good rest.

"Yes, your highness."

Although the people of Sakura Country are very urgent, the newly appointed temporary person in charge is still perceptive. He can see that Cornelia intends to lure Sakura Country, and he does not want to follow the old path of his former boss, so he obediently executes Cornelia's orders without asking a word.

"Haha, a softie who bullies the weak and fears the strong." Cornelia sneered.

"This country has always been like this, and even more shameless." Yang Hui spread his hands and said.

"So I like your name for them, the little devils, who are only fit to be slaves and can never become real demons."

"Sister, how many days do you plan to delay?"

"Seven or eight days, it's rare to have a rest, maybe I was influenced by you, it's really good to relax like this occasionally." Cornelia stretched comfortably. In the past, she only focused on the battlefield and didn't give herself any rest time. After a battle, she returned home and went to the next battlefield within two or three days.

Now she found that proper rest was still very comfortable, unlike the heavy shoulders before.

"I won't take the blame, sister." Yang Hui rolled his eyes. Although he knew that Cornelia was influenced by him, he would never admit it.

"What? Dare to do the [Nightmare] of the Empire?" Cornelia asked jokingly.

"I'm not resting now." Yang Hui spread his hands.

"What?"

"Although it is a small country, it will fight with all its might even if it is a lion. I have sent people to collect intelligence."

"I see. Knowing yourself and your enemy means you will win every battle?"

"Yes, this country... still has a few people worth noting."
