Rebellious Lelouch's Phantom Knight

"The morning sun is so dazzling!" Ain looked sleepy, "By the way, this is where I came last night? It doesn't feel like last night..."

"How rude! Ain Asbrund!" Elro slapped Ain on the head hard, "This is Princess Mariana's hanging garden, Aries leaving the palace!"

"Princess Mariana? Is it the shining Lady Mariana who was the sixth Knight of the Round Table of the Britannian Empire?"

Lelouch's mother?Didn't she say she loved King Charles the Great of Britannia very much?Come to visit her early in the morning, does this 'father' have an affair with her?Ain looked at Ello with disdain, and the gossip soul in his heart was ignited, "Then, Father, why did you come here last night and come today?"

"I don't know the specific reason, I just received an order from His Majesty Charles to bring you to see His Highness Princess Mariana!" Elro was a little puzzled, "You disappeared for a while last night, could it be that you secretly took Something? Maybe it's..."

"Stealing food will be found out by His Majesty Charles. This... er, by the way, the accomplice is Lelouch, so it should be fine?" Ain murmured softly.

"What? Ain, what are you talking about?" Elro didn't seem to understand what Ain said, and his face straightened, "Ain, you have to pay attention, you are now representing the Asbrund family..."

"here we go again……"

"Also, Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana is not an easy woman!!" Elro, who was talking about the family's glory, noticed Ain's looking around, and said something dissatisfied.

"Then...uh, why is it not easy!"

"In 17 in the imperial calendar, that is, two years before you were born, she was only [-] years old at that time, and she had already started to make achievements on the battlefield. When Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana was the pilot of Knightmare in the development stage, she was recognized for her outstanding ability. Elected as a knight. More importantly, she was the sixth knight at the time, and in the "Blood Emblem Rebellion" against His Majesty Emperor Charles, she fought with Bismarck Balutshin, who was the fifth knight at the time. Te, the first Knight of the Round Table of the Britannian Empire, joined hands to defend His Majesty Emperor Charles. It is said that when His Royal Highness Princess Mariana arrived at the palace, she rescued His Majesty from the hail of bullets and beheaded him personally. The first knight of the round table who rebelled at that time."

"Father, that..."

"Don't interrupt me, listen! Afterwards, Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana married His Majesty Emperor Charles and became the fifth princess. At that time, she spoke highly of Knightmare, which was still in the development stage, and thought it would During the war, Knightmare will decide the direction of the war, and after that, he will vigorously support the development of the Ashford family, and our Ashford family is also because of this..."

"Father, Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana seems to be here..." Ain couldn't help interrupting Elro's non-stop narration, and kindly reminded him.

"So... what? Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana is here? Oh...really, eh? First Knight Bismarck Barutschinter!! Why is he too?" Elro's face seemed a little ugly.

"Secret Ello, is this child Ein Asbrund? Yes, what do you think, Bismarck?" Princess Mariana sounded very soft, but Ain felt that the words were full of indifference and indifference. A trace of killing intent. "It looks pretty good, but the specifics need to be further verified, Your Highness Mariana!" Bismarck looked carefully at Ain, then at Mariana, and gave a neutral evaluation.

"Qing Erluo, you should go back first. As for the result, I will send someone to tell you. No matter what, you must be prepared."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ello seemed to be very afraid of Mariana. He glanced back at Ain, turned and left, but the reluctance and anger in his eyes were not seen by the people present.

"Uh... what's going on?" Ain watched Elro leave, feeling that this 'father' seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.Turning around, he saw Bismarck pulling out the long sword at his waist, "Isn't it for a contest?" After seeing Mariana nodding, Ain went crazy!

"As the first knight of the empire, you actually want to bully an unarmed eight-year-old child, are you embarrassed?"

"Crack!" I saw Bismarck put the long sword aside and looked at Ain with a straight face, "When did I say I want to use the sword? Besides, I don't want to bully you, but I want to know your strength!" After finishing speaking, he put on a posture and stared at Ain, "You attack me with all your strength, let me see your strength!"

"I said it earlier... I thought... Uh, no, I still have to fight!" Ain straightened his hair casually, smiled wryly, and looked at Bismarck helplessly.

"Uh..." Ain put away the smile on his face, and his eyes became serious.Because he just felt Bismarck's killing intent, he actually wanted to kill me?Ain became more focused, looked at Bismarck, took a deep breath, and rushed towards him quickly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Front? Courageous boy, but..." Bismarck showed a little satisfaction at Ain who was rushing forward, and he raised his hand and punched him, "The idea is a little naive!"

Ain didn't seem to see the straight punch being thrown at him, and he still rushed towards Bismarck, raised his right fist, and swung towards Bismarck, as if he wanted to fight the first knight.

"This kid, really..." Of course, Bismarck would not simply think that Ain wanted to fight him, because he could clearly see that there was a thin needle in Ain's fist, and the faint blue color on it immediately made him feel ashamed. Bismarck was startled, "A poisonous weapon, so cruel! Boy!"

In the middle of swinging his straight fist, Ain suddenly fell to the ground as if his foot was tripped. He shot the thin needle in his hand at Bismarck. After passing Bismarck's lightning kick, and taking advantage of the moment Bismarck dodged the flying needle, he drew out the long sword that had just been inserted on the side, and stabbed Bismarck quickly.Although there were a lot of movements, Ain, who did it in the blink of an eye, did not have the slightest joy on his face, and still stared at Bismarck with cold eyes.

"Not bad boy, but... you are still too naive!" While speaking, Bismarck lay back and narrowly avoided Ain's killing sword, and then shot out like lightning, grabbing Ain, Violently thrown out.

"Ain, you are only eight years old this year, right? It's not bad to have such a level at this age... And in a war, the most important thing is to survive by whatever means. You just used words to run on me at the beginning, and then used I despise you..." Bismarck kept talking as if he was summarizing after the battle, put away the long sword, tidied up his appearance, glanced at Ain lying on the ground, and stopped preaching , "Why, you shouldn't be hurt by me, right? Get up!"

"As expected of being the number one knight, I lost." Ain was fine. He patted the dust off his body, and his expression turned back to a smile, with a look of 'I'm a good boy', as if the victory or defeat just now Did not affect the mood.But Ain began to curse Bismarck in his heart, "Why didn't you hurt me? Brother's internal organs were almost exploded by you, a wretched uncle! If I had the body in my previous life, I would definitely be able to beat you with one hand. Half dead! Besides, brother used to be a killer! Have you ever seen that killer fight the enemy head-on? Brain-dead? He said his level is good! Even if he had to face the enemy head-on, he would use all means! Having said that ..."

Just when Ain fell into the mode of infinite cursing in his heart, Mariana walked up to Ain with a smile, and his face turned pale with just one sentence.

"Did the barbecue last night taste good?"

Looking at Ain's pale face, Mariana's smile grew stronger, and she nodded to Bismarck. After receiving the latter's affirmative look, she waved to Ain, "Ain, come with me!" Ain, who didn't know where he was, followed Mariana to the luxurious palace under Bismarck's gesture.

By the way, the relationship between Bismarck and Mariana seems a little ambiguous. Can one look and one movement communicate?Also, why go to the palace?As he was walking, Ain suddenly thought of something. When he was watching Lelouch before, he saw some comments about Mariana on the Internet. It is said that the princess set up a research institute under the palace, for the so-called "slaughter" God's plan has carried out a large number of human experiments on Code and Gease.

"Could it be..." Ain tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart, and followed Mariana bravely, "It doesn't matter, if you really want to drag me to do human research, I will definitely..." Ain Because he seemed to see himself lying on the operating table, a group of researchers in white coats surrounded him and smiled maliciously at him...

"Ain, why did you stop?" Mariana looked at Ain who had stopped in doubt, "From today onwards, you will be living here!"

Sure enough, did Mariana really want me to be a test subject?A gleam of coldness flashed in Ain's eyes, and he pulled out a slender metal wire from the ring on his left hand, and decided to act first...

"Ain Asbrud, why are you here?"

The sudden appearance of Lelouch made Ain startled, but it also relieved his tension a little. After all, what Mariana wanted to do would never be done in front of Lelouch. The description should be like this, probably... Thinking of this, Ain turned his gaze to Mariana, carefully observing her every move.

Mariana looked at Lelouch who suddenly appeared, and seemed to be taken aback, then Mariana stroked Lelouch's head with her hand, her face was full of a peaceful smile, but the cold eyes, As if looking at something worthless like an abandoned puppet, this look made Ain a little frightened.

From the looks of it, I guessed right!Mariana really is... And, 'Father', no, it's Elro who really gave up on me, he must know... He is the kind of person who can give up everything for the glory of the family, as long as it is for the sake of the family. Glory, can you give up even the life of your own son?As expected of a nobleman... Ain was suddenly full of anger and sadness at this moment. Although the old man in his previous life was a little confused in education, he at least raised Ain as a person, but Erlo Asbrund, for the sake of The glory of the family, is the life of one's own son just a tool...

I, who believed in Elro, am so stupid... By the way, since when did my life no longer belong to me?Is it really because it's too... Ain blames himself a little, he's too careless!

"Her Royal Highness Princess Mariana told me that starting today, I will become the attendant of Prince Lelouch. After all, as a prince, His Royal Highness Lelouch is already eight years old this year! And I am also eight years old this year!"

Seeing that Mariana was about to open her mouth to say something, Ain suddenly interjected.This seemingly nonsensical sentence stunned the two people present.Lelouch cheered and held Ain's hand. After all, he lived in the palace since he was a child and basically had no friends. Now he suddenly has a friend of the same age, and he is the kind who did "bad things" together, Lelouch I am happy from the bottom of my heart.

The reason why Mariana was stunned was simple. She couldn't attack Ain for the time being, because there were some things that Lelouch couldn't know.Forget it, Lelouch and Nunnally are enough, so why let Ain join the plan, this will indirectly let Lelouch know, and then affect the implementation of the plan... However, Ain, a little Guy... Mariana seemed to think of something, and the smile in her eyes gradually replaced the previous cold light, showing a loving look again.

And Ain, who has been paying attention to Mariana, was slightly relieved when he saw the smile in her eyes. It seems that he can feel at ease for a while... I remember that when Lelouch was nine years old, Ma Liana was killed by that VV... Then, there is still less than a year left, it seems that as long as I am more careful in the next time, I should be fine... Ain seems to be fighting with her on the surface. Lelouch was talking about something, but his mind was always on Mariana.

"Lelouch, it's only been two years. After all, the boy Ain has been able to survive under the first knight Bismarck for a period of time today, so he can't be your servant forever, unless you...hehe" Mariana smiled. Dispelling Lelouch's idea of ​​excitement, it also made Ain break out in a cold sweat.

Hearing that it was only two years, Ain was startled at first, but then he felt a little happy in his heart. Within two years, then at least there would be no need to worry about Mariana's tricks, and there would be no need to go back to Ello Asbrund. Where is that hypocritical aristocrat!Ain began to pray silently in his heart: Master VV, you have to work hard!Try to get rid of Mariana within a year... Also, Ello Asbrund, wait for me to go back and deal with you, you bastard who is useless to be a father!

"Only two years?" Lelouch looked a little ugly, "Mother, unless something? Is there any other way to let Ain be my attendant for a long time?"

"Huh? It depends on whether Ain is willing or not? Let's go and see Nunnally. When the child is four years old, she is the age when she loves to act like a baby!" Seeing Lelouch's disdainful expression, Mary Anna continued, "Lelouch, you were the same back then!"

Looking at the deflated Lelouch, Ain snickered, but was slapped on the back abruptly by Lelouch.result……

"what!"

Lelouch covered his mouth while looking at the red palms, and looked at Ain with tears in his eyes. The latter walked up to Lelouch and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear: "By the way, you used so much force? Even if I wear steel armor under my clothes, it hurts a bit!"

"Lelouch, Ain, hurry up, both of you!" Mariana looked at the two people who were fighting, and she didn't know what was on her mind, she happily called to the two, "I won't take you there any later. Look at Nunnally!"

"Here we come, Queen Mother!" Lelouch trotted over, "Ain, hurry up, I'll go first!"

"My shoelaces are loose, wait for me!" Ain knelt down to tie his shoelaces, and when he saw Lelouch and Mariana disappear around the corner, he immediately sat limply on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

Although betting on Mariana might not pull me into a test case in front of Lelouch, it's really dangerous!What if there is a slight accident... No way, the skill in the previous life can't be used with the body of a child now, not to mention, even if he can escape here, where can he escape?The Asbrund family will definitely not be able to go back, and now they can only stay with Lelouch every day, so that their safety can be guaranteed.Is it less than a year away?Hope nothing changes...

"Ain, hurry up!"

"Here we come!" Ain slowly stood up and chased after Lelouch in the direction where Lelouch left, "Forget it, something is up to people, and it's up to God, that's all I can think of, the rest... just Let's see luck..."

"Luck?" Lelouch looked at Ain who was standing beside him suspiciously.

"Well, luck! It's definitely luck to meet Simeikong's baby sister!"

"Ain, you bastard... If you bully my sister..."

The author has something to say: how to say it?I deduced the description of Mariana based on the details of some official novels. After all, there are only a few short ones in the animation. The character can only be deduced through some descriptions, er, probably!Also, during the Blood Emblem Rebellion, Mariana's age was the age when I adopted R2, otherwise there would be a difference of one year~ The rest is probably gone, above~
