Magic world

"Bang bang bang"

"Hey!" The door in front of Cornelia was opened from the inside. Ito Cheng, who was wearing silk robe and pajamas, appeared at the door. He looked at Cornelia outside the door in surprise and said, "It's you!" Then he stepped aside and opened the door. "Come in.()"

"Excuse me." Cornelia apologized politely, walked in through the door of the room that Ito Cheng let go, and naturally walked to the sofa beside her and sat down.

"I didn't expect you to come to me at this late hour. Aren't you afraid of what I might do?" Ito Cheng walked over to Cornelia and sat down opposite him. He naturally crossed his legs with a look on his face. ’s smile.

"If you wanted to, you could have done it when you were on the EU frontline. You don't have to wait until now." Cornelia said calmly.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with me?" Ito Cheng was just joking. Of course, he knew that Cornelia would not come to the door in the middle of the night for no reason, so he asked directly.

"I would like to ask you to help me investigate the truth of a matter." A look of hesitation flashed across Cornelia's face, and then was replaced by determination, and she said decisively.

"Oh?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows and waited for the next step.

"I would like to ask you to help me investigate the true cause of death of Princess Mariana of Britannia, the fifth princess of the empire who died in an assassination seven and a half years ago, known as the shining Mariana." Cornelia He clenched his fists unconsciously and said in a cold tone.

"Didn't you already say that she died of assassination? Why do you want me to investigate the cause of death?" A look of surprise flashed in Ito Cheng's eyes, but he still pretended to be confused on the surface.

"Yes. The news I got is indeed that Princess Mariana died of assassination, but what happened that day was too strange. First of all, Princess Mariana's transfer of the palace guards was very abnormal. It felt like she was obviously going to meet someone. And I don’t want others to know about it. The second thing is that the alleged murderer is actually a terrorist..." At this point, a sneer flashed across Cornelia's face. "It's outrageous that there are terrorists breaking into the palace. Things, where does this leave me as the commander of the bodyguard at that time? Where does this leave the safety of other royal members? The last and most critical thing is that the former Princess Mariana was the sixth-ranked knight of the Round Table. Whether it's his ability to drive a knightmare or his own fighting ability, both of which are far beyond ordinary people, it's so unreasonable that the palace guards who are less than 200 meters away from the palace can't come to the rescue."

"So I suspect that although Princess Mariana died of assassination, it was definitely not the so-called terrorists or the strife between the royal family members, but she died of the mysterious person who could persuade Princess Mariana to leave the guard and meet in private. Only if that person takes action can Princess Mariana be killed without even a chance to resist," Cornelia said.

"You mean to let me investigate that mysterious man?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes. I want to know the truth, otherwise I will have no shame to see my dead brother Lelouch and sister Nunnally." Cornelia raised her head and looked into Ito Cheng's eyes.

"Okay." Ito Cheng looked at Cornelia quietly for a moment and nodded, "I can't just ask you to pay while I do nothing. This does not comply with the principle of equal exchange in transactions."

"Thank you." Cornelia thanked her heartily.

"You're welcome, that's right." Ito Cheng waved his hand indifferently. Then he said, "Do you have the investigation report on the incident and the information on the witnesses at the time?"

"I will ask someone to send the investigation report to you tomorrow, but I only know the words of two witnesses. One is the current Sixth Knight of the Round Table, Anyia Alstolem, and the other is the late Imperial Princess Na Nali vi Britannia. These two were the only witnesses who completely witnessed the entire incident. As for me and other guards who arrived later, all I saw was lying dead in a pool of blood. The body of Princess Mariana lying on top of Nunnally..." Cornelia said.

"Then can I meet the sixth knight Ania Alstolem?" Ito Cheng asked.

"I'm afraid this is difficult." Cornelia frowned slightly and explained, "Ever since the Blood Crest Rebellion that occurred 19 years ago, the emperor has made a rule: no member of the royal family is allowed to interact with anyone without the emperor's permission. The Knights of the Round Table meet privately, otherwise the crime will be determined based on the circumstances. The most serious crime is treason, so even as a soldier, I cannot freely ask to see the Knights of the Round Table without a legitimate reason."

"Haha. Things like rebellion can be prohibited wherever there are regulations. It is simply unnecessary." Ito Cheng sneered.

"But this rule has largely eliminated the possibility of rebellion among the royal family members." Cornelia explained.

"Then can you take me into the palace. I want to see the environment." Ito Cheng was noncommittal and asked instead.

"This is not difficult, you just need to pretend to be my guard and wait with me when I enter the palace." Cornelia said.

"Okay, just call me when the time comes." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." After Cornelia finished speaking, she stood up from the sofa and said, "I wish you a sweet dream."

"Yes." Ito Cheng didn't move in his seat, accepted the blessing with his head in his mouth, and watched Cornelia walk out of the room. Then he spread his arms and put them on the back of the sofa behind him, leaned his whole back on it, raised his head and closed his eyes and said, "Princess Mariana..."

After a moment, he stood up suddenly, turned around and returned to the bed. He opened the thin white down quilt on the bed that was large enough for four or five people to lie side by side, stretched out his legs and lay down in it, and rested.

"Comfortable!" Ito couldn't help but groaned as he felt the soft feeling when his back came into contact with the mattress.

Nothing happened all night, I had a good sleep...

"Bang bang bang"

In the morning, a light knock on the door woke up Ito Cheng who was sleeping peacefully in bed. When Ito Cheng was about to get up, a female voice came from outside the door, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Please come down and eat."

"I know." Ito Cheng replied while lying on the bed, then got up and sat up from the bed, then walked to the window, opened the dark brown curtains in front of him, and squinted his eyes to enjoy the sunshine. The warmth that shines on your body. After stretching comfortably, he turned around and walked into the bathroom that came with the bedroom to wash up.

After a while, Ito Cheng, dressed in Britannia clothing, walked out of the room.

"Morning!" Ito Cheng, who walked down the stairs step by step, greeted Cornelia, who had just walked in from the courtyard after exercising and was wiping sweat with a towel.

"Morning." Cornelia, who was wearing red trousers and a lavender stand-collared long-sleeved casual shirt, with her sweat-dampened hair naturally disheveled, nodded in return.

"You are really diligent." Ito Cheng walked down the stairs and admired as he glanced at the slender sword that Cornelia put aside.

"As a commander, you must have power that far exceeds that of all soldiers, otherwise the soldiers you bring will just be a bunch of useless lambs." Cornelia handed the towel that had completed her mission to the hand of the maid Liz who was standing quietly beside her. Throw it on and say in a sonorous voice.

"It turns out that you are taking the road of establishing prestige with personal bravery, commanding the army with prestige, and establishing military merit with the army." Hearing this, Ito Cheng said somewhat clearly based on his observations of Cornelia during this period. .

"Overlord?" Cornelia lowered her head and thought after hearing this. She felt that Ito Cheng's description was very appropriate, so she subconsciously repeated it. Then he came back to his senses and said to Ito Naomi, "Let's have dinner."

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them were led by the maid Liz to a room next to the living room with only a long square table and a few chairs. Ito Cheng and Cornelia each walked to one end of the long square table and sat down. . After they sat down, the maid waiting on the side took out a small copper bell from the white apron in front of her and rang it.

"Dang, dong, dong, dong," a crisp sound of bells rang in the room. Then several maids carrying silver trays walked in from the door after the bell rang, divided into two waves and came to Ito Cheng and Cornelia's side, and put the silver trays in their hands on the two sides one after another. On the dining table in front of people.

A few slices of bread, a piece of butter, a small plate of caviar or foie gras sauce, two slices of vegetables, two hams, two fried eggs, a plate of fruit cut into pieces, and a glass of beef nai As well as silver knives and forks as tableware, this is everything in front of them.

Ito Cheng, who already knew how to eat Western food as early as in the world of steelmaking, didn't need anyone to teach him. He directly picked up a piece of bread, cut off a piece of butter with a table knife and spread it on the bread, then chopped the ham into pieces and sprinkled it on the bread. Put the butter on it, then cover it with vegetables, cover the vegetables with eggs, add a little sauce on the eggs, and finally cover it with another piece of bread, a homemade sandwich is completed...

Cornelia looked at Ito Cheng's eating method and shook her head speechlessly. She ignored it and cut off a piece of the egg, put it in her mouth and chewed it...

"It tastes okay." Ito Cheng took a bite of the sandwich in his hand and said after feeling it carefully for a moment. Unfortunately, except for the maid who lowered her eyes and stared intently, no one answered his words. But Ito Cheng didn't care and started eating with great satisfaction.

After destroying all the things in front of him, he asked the maid waiting on the side, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, please wait a moment." The maid was stunned by the question, but she answered quickly. Even if there is no kitchen, this thing will be cooked freshly. Otherwise, why would the princess's house have such cooks? It's just the first time the maid has encountered such a person who completely ignores etiquette and does not care about face.

After a while, the maid placed another breakfast in front of Ito Cheng for him to eat. (To be continued...)
