Depressive Screenwriter

As the plot progressed, the people of Area 11 in the drama rejoiced. Governor Euphemia granted them equality. As citizens of a defeated nation, what more could they ask for?

Tens of thousands of people gathered at the place Euphemia had designated, awaiting the arrival of the appointed day, the surrender of the Black Knights led by Zero, and the establishment of the Special Administrative Zone government jointly created by Euphemia and Zero.

Even Xiang Zhixue, who was just watching the drama, could feel the enthusiasm of the characters within.

He even wondered if Lelouch really needed to struggle.

His personal vendetta was insignificant, wasn't it? To abandon this opportunity for personal revenge and continue to subject the people of Area 11 to war would completely destroy the protagonist's character.

The audience watching this drama would probably not accept such a person as the protagonist.

Su Yan, this plot has put you in a difficult position, hasn't it?

With the plot progressing to this point, even if Xiang Zhixue felt that Lelouch's surrender would make the plot boring, Lelouch's refusal to surrender would ruin his character, and no matter how wonderful the subsequent plot might be, it would be meaningless.

In the serious plot, the emotional development between Euphemia and Suzaku began to be interspersed.

Euphemia in this drama is definitely a moral role model.

Gentle, kind, lovely, and treating everyone equally, even Suzaku, an Area 11 native, without any discrimination.

The CP pairing of these two has also found a strong market among Code Geass fans in Xia.

Suzaku and Euphemia are now looking forward to the establishment of the Special Administrative Zone government and the arrival of Zero on that day.

Xiang Zhixue's attention began to focus.

The plot didn't drag at all; soon, the appointed time arrived.

On the square, tens of thousands of ordinary people were seated.

Stirring music rang out, Euphemia, representatives of various local forces in Area 11, high-ranking officials of the Britannian army, and worldwide television broadcasts.

Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the person wearing the black helmet.

Will he appear?

Xiang Zhixue's spirit became tense; he was now fully immersed in the drama.

Finally, beneath the boundless blue sky, a black mecha slowly descended from the clouds, with a black cloak, black mask, slender figure, and that infectious voice.

"He's here!" Xiang Zhixue's spirit was shaken.

At this moment, the viewership ratings of the Code Geass drama began to rise.

After Zero arrived, his first sentence was:

【Euphemia li Britannia, I have something to say to you, just the two of us alone!】

Xiang Zhixue blinked; he had a premonition that Lelouch was going to play tricks.

【Speak with me?】 Euphemia asked with a puzzled expression.

She didn't understand what her brother was planning to do.

But despite Suzaku's worried obstruction, she still agreed to Lelouch's request.

The six heads of the local forces in Area 11, the financial backers behind Lelouch's army, were equally puzzled about what Lelouch was up to.

At Ashford Academy, where Lelouch studied, Einstein, the girl who had been rescued by Euphemia, also became nervous.

Shirley and Nunnally watched the television broadcast, while Kallen and the Black Knights under Lelouch's command lay in ambush near the venue, ready to rush out and rescue Lelouch if anything changed.

The camera gave ample shots to all parties, maximizing the sense of tension.

Inside the secret room, when Lelouch and Euphemia were alone, he took off his helmet, revealing his true face to his sister.

Then, he pulled out a pistol made of ceramic and bamboo that had passed through security checks and aimed it at Euphemia.

"?" Xiang Zhixue's expression was bewildered.

【Lelouch, you wouldn't shoot me, would you?】 Euphemia's expression was calm.

【That's right, I won't shoot you. You're the one who will shoot, Euphemia.】

Xiang Zhixue blinked; was Lelouch planning to use Geass to control Euphemia to attack him and then pretend it was a trap against Zero?

Euphemia looked at Lelouch as if he were an idiot.

Of course, she understood what Lelouch meant, but she wasn't stupid; why would she shoot Lelouch?

And just at this moment, the foreshadowing from before appeared.

In the previous plot, Mao had lost control of his Geass ability, which eventually led to his mental breakdown due to indiscriminately hearing other people's thoughts.

Just as Lelouch and Euphemia were negotiating, he suddenly covered his forehead and right eye, kneeling on one knee.

The sudden interlude made the plot more anxious.

【I will not accept your charity; I will win everything with power. Euphemia li Britannia!】

Lelouch began to say angrily.

The peaceful world he and Nunnally wanted, his dream, he would obtain it himself. Lelouch did not accept Euphemia's sympathetic proposal for a joint government.

And Euphemia's next words completely moved Lelouch.

【I have already returned that name.】

Because she decided to abolish the discriminatory policies against Area 11 as governor, Euphemia paid the price of relinquishing her right to inherit the throne.

She wasn't inviting Lelouch to establish the Special Administrative Zone government out of sympathy for Lelouch.

【It's not because of you, but for Nunnally. She said that as long as she can be with her brother, she doesn't need anything else, for Nunnally.】

Xiang Zhixue's nose tingled; this character was really well-developed. As expected of Gu Qingyuan, she easily performed in a way that made people want to cry.

Nunnally was not only Lelouch's sister but also Euphemia's sister.

Although Lelouch had killed Euphemia's brother from the same mother for his ambitions and revenge, for the sake of peace and her surviving relatives, Euphemia still chose to reach a reconciliation with Lelouch and form a joint government with the Black Knights led by Lelouch for Nunnally's sake.

Just let it be like this.

Lelouch, agree to her; your little grudge really has no meaning to continue. Be more open-minded.

Xiang Zhixue was completely captivated by Euphemia's charm at this moment and even felt that Lelouch's conspiracies were somewhat ungrateful.

And the result was finally as Xiang Zhixue had hoped.

Lelouch was relieved, just as her sincerity had moved the audience; similarly, it also moved Lelouch.

【You're so foolish!】 Lelouch said with a complex expression.

【Although I've never won against Lelouch in games or studies, I will never give up on anything important.】 Euphemia smiled at Lelouch.

Sublimation.

Xiang Zhixue's eyes were filled with tears.

This is what kinship is!

Lelouch's previous world was distorted, whether it was his relationship with his father, the fighting with the Second Princess Cornelia, killing his brother Clovis, or the showdown with another brother, Schneizel.

It was all fratricide.

In this drama, the Britannian royal family apparently also had an angel like Euphemia.

"Long live Euphemia!"

At least at this moment, in Xiang Zhixue's heart, the charm of this character surpassed that of the main heroine CC.

【You are the worst enemy for me.】 Lelouch smiled in relief, grasping Euphemia's outstretched hand.

He agreed to Euphemia's proposal to establish a joint government.

【Mm.】 Euphemia's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled happily.

【But I really have no credibility in Lelouch's heart, huh? Did you think that if you threatened me, I would have shot you just now?】

【It's not like that; as long as I give a serious order, no one can disobey!】 Lelouch said calmly.

【For example, if I tell you】

【Kill the Elevens.】 Lelouch looked at Euphemia.

It was just an ordinary sentence; he had no malice.

Because of his trust in Euphemia, he didn't even care if his Geass ability was exposed.

But just as he said this sentence, his pupils involuntarily turned red.

Xiang Zhixue's hand trembled, and he stood up from the sofa.

Euphemia's expression became painful, resistant, and distorted.

【No, I can't think about that kind of thing.】 Tears streamed from the corners of Euphemia's eyes.

Lelouch's expression froze.

【That's right, Elevens, must be killed.】 Euphemia raised her head, her pupils filled with determination.

She was controlled by the Geass command.

Lelouch and Xiang Zhixue both understood now.

Geass, out of control!

The foreshadowing of the character Mao from before was revealed at this moment.

Kill, the Elevens?

Upon understanding this command, Xiang Zhixue felt a chill run down his spine.

This plot, no way, Euphemia is the governor of this area, with the power to command her troops.

Euphemia quickly ran out of the secret meeting place and rushed to the venue outside, where tens of thousands of Elevens who believed in her were seated.

Then, Euphemia raised the gun in her hand.

No!

Xiang Zhixue's breathing became suffocated.

Bang!

Euphemia fired.

A burst of blood erupted from the chest of an elderly Eleven woman.

She issued an order to the surrounding troops, the world media broadcast cameras, and the tens of thousands of ordinary people in front of her.

【All soldiers, listen to my order, kill all Elevens!】

Xiang Zhixue felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

The progress of this plot exceeded the predictions of everyone in front of the television.

In the scene, soldiers carried out the governor's orders, pointing their guns at ordinary people, mechs strafing, machine guns slaughtering, and ordinary people who believed that the Special Administrative Zone government would be established fell in pools of blood.

A massive stampede of tens of thousands of people on the scene, a group of people's corpses falling limply!

This plot was too shocking; Xiang Zhixue's mouth was dry, and he didn't know how to evaluate it. He only felt a sense of discomfort rising in his heart, along with complex emotions towards the screenwriter.

Su Yan, you're awesome.

You really dared to write this script!
