Chapter 1841 The World of C and the Witch
After a series of bizarre and spectacular visual spectacles flashed by, before everyone could recover from the feeling of weightlessness, they witnessed an astonishing scene.
dilapidated.
destroy.
silence.
Everything symbolizes the process of destruction, or rather, no words can adequately describe what everyone is witnessing at this moment.
"This...this is the world of C?!"
Mariana hadn't even recovered from regaining her sense of self when she was shocked by the dilapidated scene before her.
"This is the world of C. I can't mistake it."
CC looked around and nodded.
"But why has this place become like this?"
Mariana couldn't quite understand it.
Princess Mariana?! You're not dead?!
Just as the two women were about to discuss why C's world had become like this, Clovis's surprised and delighted voice came from behind.
Mariana blinked, instantly donning the mask that once belonged to the elegant and virtuous princess praised by members of the Britannian imperial family.
"Is that Clovis? It's been a long time. I didn't expect you to recognize me!"
"Is it really Princess Mariana?! Are you really not dead?"
Having received Mariana's approval, Clovis happily took a few steps forward, his eyes filled with admiration. He wanted to see if he was hallucinating, but he was also afraid of offending Mariana.
"Don't be nervous, Clovis. I'm right here."
Who is Mariana?
The princess who once manipulated a group of royal children is now easily subdued by Clovis, who has grown up.
"No! I'm so sorry!"
Clovis finally realized what was happening, took a half step back, and bowed respectfully to Mariana.
"I was rash. Back then, when I learned that Your Highness had been..."
"No. That's not an illusion. It's what really happened. Clovis, after that assassination attempt, I could only eke out a living on the fringes of the world in this state until today."
Mariana frankly told him the truth, but while explaining the situation to Clovis, she kept glancing at Lelouch, who hadn't made a move yet.
"Really? Geass? The world of C?"
As Clovis's initial excitement subsided, he came to understand just how Mariana was managing to survive in this world.
Upon reflection, Clovis's initial fervor gradually cooled.
"So, back then, you and Father knew the truth about that assassination, but under such circumstances, you sent Lelouch and Nunnally to Area 11 to live as hostages. In the end, you turned on them and sent troops to conquer Area 11, almost causing Lelouch and Nunnally to die."
Did you really consider how Lelouch and Nunnally felt back then?
Faced with Clovis's accusations, Mariana did not defend herself, but instead took it for granted and admitted it.
"Yes. This is the only way for Lelouch and Nunnally to survive. There was a traitor among us, Charlize, which is why I was killed, and why Nunnally..."
"enough!"
At that moment, Lelouch's angry shout interrupted Mariana's explanation.
"Lelouch..."
Clovis's expression changed, and he quickly looked behind him, only to see a calm, expressionless face.
If it weren't for the hint of anger still burning in Lelouch's eyes, Clovis might have mistaken him for a passerby eavesdropping on royal gossip.
"Lelouch. Back then, he was..."
"No need to say anything more! What's past is past. I don't need any explanation. Now, all the entanglements between me, Nunnally, and the Britannian Empire have come to an end."
Lelouch shook his head and raised his hand to stop Marianne from speaking. "I don't need to hear your explanations or excuses. You are still my and Nunnally's mother. But I hope you won't add anything to that makes Nunnally and me feel disgusted."
Lelouch paused, his stiff tone softening slightly.
“Nanali can now see her surroundings and is gradually able to walk on her own. Her life and her future are bright. I don’t want to see any filthy things tainted by darkness or conspiracy appear around Nanali, causing her distress and sadness!”
Lelouch became more and more agitated as he spoke, making no attempt to hide his disgust and hatred for the dirty and sordid things hidden within the royal family in the past.
"If it exists, I will destroy it at all costs, and kill anything that troubles or saddens Nunnally. Even if it's you!!"
The killing intent in Lelouch's eyes was so clear that it made Mariana's heart tremble.
"You! You child! How could you talk to your mother like that..."
Just as Mariana was about to take a step forward and stand in front of Lelouch to reprimand him, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, suppressing Mariana in place.
"what?!"
Mariana's expression froze, and she subconsciously turned her head to look behind CC, at the figure that had not uttered a word until now.
"It's quite a lively family drama."
He Ming turned around, walked to CC's side, and looked at Mariana with a playful smile.
“Princess Mariana! No matter which world you are in, you are still so selfish. Of course. When you entered C’s world, I gave you many opportunities, and you seized them and tried your best to hide your true self.”
He Ming shifted his gaze to Lelouch and Clovis.
"And once you entered here, your true nature was indeed revealed. The world of C truly lives up to its reputation as a collective subconscious of humanity."
"You! This face?!"
Mariana looked at He Ming's face in surprise.
At this moment, the mask that had been concealing He Ming's face was no longer there.
That's right.
Upon entering this world of the collective subconscious of humanity, all pretense existing in reality vanishes.
CC glanced at Mariana, then at Lelouch and Clovis, who were deep in thought, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"I thought you would bring that mask in! Colonel Ming, or perhaps the youngest general in the Earth Federation Forces—He Ming."
He Ming was somewhat surprised.
It wouldn't be surprising if Clovis, or Lelouch, could guess his identity upon seeing his true face.
Even Mariana's claim has some basis.
After all, Anya, the girl she was staying with, was a pro at surfing the internet.
But in the end, it was CC who was the first to guess his true identity.
"Surprising, isn't it?"
A smug smile gradually appeared on CC's delicate face.
"After I learned about the existence of the GN Drive, I became a little curious. If the Earth Federation Forces had this technology from the beginning, why didn't they mass-produce it after the One Year War ended?"
"So, out of such curiosity, I found some information: the glorious achievements of a Federation hero named Blackwing, and the mysterious machine he piloted."
"So, you guessed my true identity?"
"Hmm. I had some doubts before, but after seeing your face here, I understand. From the very beginning, the so-called punishment was just a facade you designed to achieve a certain goal."
CC smiled gently.
"Of course. And this illusion is actually real. Alas, the whole world has been fooled by you, you big liar!"
CC stretched out her finger and pointed at He Ming.
"Don't deny it, don't explain it. You're just a big liar who deceives the world!!"
