Rebellious Lelouch's Phantom Knight

"Ain, this morning...uh...why did you become like this?"

After Suzaku came to Ain's place early in the morning, he saw Ain sitting on the floor with a bruised nose and a swollen face... and Ain, who was always smiling, was a little depressed.Suzaku suddenly found that the whole house was in a mess, as if it had experienced a tragic war.Was the 'battle situation' last night that intense... Suzaku looked at Ain with some doubts, and muttered something!

"Zhu... Suzaku! Are you here?" Ain stood up staggeringly, and with some difficulty settled on the chair, "Last night..."

"Ain! Although as a friend, I should just meddle in my own business...But! Look at your current appearance, such things should be restrained! And you seem to have gone too far..."

"Suzaku, what are you talking about?" Ain seemed to remember something, and yelled in horror, "You still dare to tell me what happened last night? You don't talk about loyalty! Do you know? I saw you last night. Hell! It's really a tragic hell..."

"Hell..." Suzaku seemed to be thinking about Yuffie again, and his expression became a little sad, "Are you saying that I am doing this right, Ain? Obviously I should kill Zero to avenge Yuffie...but...but when I When I confirmed that Lelouch was Zero, I couldn't do anything..."

"Uh...this..."

When Ain heard Suzaku mention this matter, and then looked at Suzaku's confused face, he suddenly understood a little bit!Perhaps for Suzaku, the psychological shock of losing a lover and betraying a friend, combined with the fact that he accidentally killed his father back then, made him fall into infinite self-blame.A person's ability to bear is limited. Maybe Suzaku is physically strong, but inwardly...

"In this case, why did you come here and tell me these things?" Ain looked at Suzaku with a cold expression, "Why are you entangled in these things?"

"Why? But, Ain, you know..."

"Yeah! I know all about it! You accidentally killed your father, then lost your lover, and finally betrayed your friend..."

"Stop talking, Ain! Please stop talking..."

"Why don't you say it? You have done these things now, why don't you allow me to say..."

Suzaku grabbed Ain's collar and looked at Ain with pain in his eyes. His expression was extremely angry, and the veins on his hands burst out!And Ain still looked indifferent, watching Suzaku's actions, and did not take any action of resistance, allowing Suzaku to grab his collar and press himself hard on the chair!

"Suzaku, do you know? People live for these troubles! If you die, you don't have to worry about these things..." Ain paused, feeling Suzaku's hand loosen his collar, and continued his tone. He said indifferently, "If you hear other people talking about these things and want to transfer your anger to others, then you are running away! Are you still qualified to inherit Yuffie's last wish? Don't laugh so hard! "

"Do you think I want this? Do you think I don't want to die? But I can't do it..."

Suzaku's tone was choked with sobs, he let go of his hands, and sat on the ground, like a helpless child, with an extremely bleak look on his face!Ain tugged at the collar, looked at Suzaku on the ground, the indifference in his tone eased a lot, stretched out his hand to pull Suzaku up, and gently wiped away the tears from Suzaku's eyes.Suzaku looked at Ain with some doubts, and just when he was about to say something, Ain punched him directly in the face.

"What are you doing, Ain?" Suzaku covered his face and looked at Ain suspiciously.

"Wake up you idiot!" Ain rubbed his hands and looked at Suzaku with a smile on his face.It's just that Ain's bruised and swollen smiling face looks hideous to Suzaku! "People live to look forward. It's really sad to look at you like this. Are you qualified to be a Knight of the Round Table and change this country from the inside?"

"I...but..."

"It's okay, but it's okay! People live to create a future that is not inferior to the past! Look at your current appearance, Suzaku! There are some expressions of despair and anger on your face. You, like this, still want to change from the inside. This country? Hmph! With you like this, all you bring to this world is sadness!"

Seeing Suzaku's thoughtful expression, Ain didn't care much at first, but... After a long time, Suzaku kept silent and thought to himself, which made Ain a little worried!This guy, maybe I said it a little too hard, and I was stimulated to be stupid...

"By the way, Suzaku, what did you ask me for early in the morning?" Ain tried to divert Suzaku's attention. After all, there are some things that you can only understand slowly by yourself!Especially for someone with Suzaku's personality, instilling too many words in him from the beginning may have the opposite effect...

"Huh? Oh, Ain, that..." Suzaku rubbed her face, looking at Ain with a scared expression, "Master Bertorius Franks asked us to go to her place, there is something..."

"Beltoris? This woman seems to be in charge of the Knights of the Round Table..." Ain looked at Suzaku with some clarity, "Let's go, Suzaku, I guess this has something to do with you!"

"Huh? What? Oh!" Suzaku seemed to be still thinking about what Ain said just now, and dealt with Ain absent-mindedly.

"Don't think so much, Suzaku! Live according to what you think in your heart, work hard, and then...just like this! Let's talk about the future!"

"Are you going to survive? In the future...Ain, I...do I have a future?"

"Let's go! Stop dawdling around! That woman, Bertolis, is very..."

"Ain, what am I so special about?" A female voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.Ain looked at the woman standing at the door with some embarrassment, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Chumu Suzaku, first of all, congratulations on your promotion to the Knights of the Round Table! Although you seem a little confused now, I still think what Ain just said is right. You should strengthen your spirit and heart, which is what a strong man must have! Bertolis paused, and looked at Ain with a sneer, "As for you, Ain Asbrund! I don't have to argue with you just now, but I need your explanation for what happened last night." Alright! Now is not the time to dawdle, you two come with me!"

Bertolis didn't give Ain a chance to explain at all, she pushed her glasses, and led the two of them towards the training ground, while Ain followed behind with a somewhat terrified expression, like a wronged daughter-in-law.Suzaku seemed to have figured something out, and the confusion on her face disappeared. With puzzled eyes, she looked at Bertolis, who was leading the way, and Ain, who was aggrieved behind her, with a smile on her face.

After arriving at the training ground, Ain and Suzaku saw that there were already people waiting there!The pink-haired little loli Anyia stood there with a blank face. After seeing Ain and the others, there was a trace of murderous intent in her eyes, and she stared viciously at Ain who wanted to hide.And beside her stood a tall and cheerful boy. After seeing Ain and the others, the blond boy ran over impatiently.Suzaku seemed to be looking at the person with some doubts, and stopped very vigilantly, but the boy's target was not him, but Ain who wanted to hide behind Bertolis.

"Ain, long time no see!" The blond boy hugged Ain fiercely, and hugged Ain with both hands, "You have become shorter, Ain!"

"It's you who have grown taller, Gino!" Ain looked at Gino with displeasure, "By the way, do you still have the demeanor of a nobleman, do you have the self-esteem of a knight of the round table? Your behavior is really..."

"Okay, Gino! Let's talk about the old days later, there are other things now!" Bertolis pushed her glasses with some headaches, "Suzaku Suzaku, from today onwards, you will be one of the knights of the round table A member! One of the strongest knights directly under His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Wait? Bertolis, is this the newly promoted Knight of the Round Table, the seventh knight Suzaku Suzaku?" Gino looked at Suzaku with some doubts, "It doesn't look very strong..."

"Is that so?" Bertolis pushed her glasses, looked at Suzaku with some doubts, and then at Gino, "In this case, I, Bertolis Franks, as His Majesty's Chief Secretary and In the name of the Director of the Secret Service, I request Suzaku Suzaku to have a one-on-one duel with Gino Beinberuk!"

"Please teach me more, Gino Beinberuk!" Suzaku extended his hand to Gino politely.

"Hmph! I'm not interested in shaking hands with the person I'm going to hit later!" Gino looked confident and refused to shake hands with Suzaku.

"This..." Suzaku looked at Gino in embarrassment as he walked towards the back of his exclusive body—RZA-3F9 Tristan, with a sad expression on his face.

"Suzaku, don't worry, his character is just like this!" Ain seemed to remember Gino's proud attitude when he met him, with a bit of nostalgia on his expression, "Don't be merciful later, the Knights of the Round Table speak for their strength! If you don't have strength, don't expect to be respected by others! Also, you actually said that I've become shorter... Suzaku, I'll give him a good beating later..."

Hearing that Ain's tone was a little uncomfortable, Suzaku's gloomy expression just now eased a little.Suzaku shook his head helplessly, and walked towards his exclusive machine, Lancelot.After everyone in Ain left for a certain distance, both sides who were preparing for the competition were ready to fight, but Ain's expression was somewhat playful.

"Ain, are you so confident in that Suzaku?" Bertolis looked at Lancelot with some doubts when she heard what Ain had just said to Suzaku, "Is he really strong? "

"Hmm! If Suzaku is driving Lancelot, his combat power is basically on the same level as mine. Even if I use that, he will still be able to compete with me!"

After hearing Ain's answer, Bertolis looked at the two sides in the battle with some curiosity, focusing on Lancelot.Suzaku's strength is just as Ain said, easily dodging Tristan's attack, and quickly counterattacked the opponent.The method of this kind of competition is different from that of a battle. The winner of this kind of competition is judged by the number of hits by the enemy's mecha within the specified time. Gino underestimated the enemy at the beginning, letting Suzaku take the lead!Although Gino had already realized that Suzaku's strength was extraordinary, he was so proud that he didn't care, and was still a little casual. After he hit Lancelot to tie the game, this situation seemed to have reached its peak!

"Suzaku won! Gino was careless!" Ain shook his head helplessly after seeing that the two mechas seemed to be about to attack each other.

"Gino, you really have a rough personality..." Bertolis also agreed with Ain's point of view, after all, she was once a Knight of the Round Table!As the 'Sword of the Round Table Knights', she has extraordinary eyesight, so she can naturally see the situation on the stage, "The time is up! Gino, you lose, 3:1!"

Gino and Suzaku stopped attacking at the same time.Suzaku looked at Gino apologetically, and when he was about to say something just now, he found that the other party was still looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the victory just now.Gino stretched out his hand suddenly, and looked at Suzaku with a bright face, his smile was full of approval and affirmation.

"Shuque Suzaku... Suzaku, I didn't expect you to be so strong! I lost just now!"

"You are also strong, Gino Beinberuk! The Knights of the Round Table really deserve their reputation!" Suzaku held Gino's hand and showed a friendly smile.

"Just call me Gino!" Gino put his arms around Suzaku, and walked with Suzaku shoulder to shoulder in front of the crowd watching the battle, "Ain, you really are right!"

"Etiquette! Etiquette!" Before Ain could speak, Bertolis sighed helplessly, "Gino! I don't care about you in private, but you should pay attention to the occasion when you act out of etiquette! Ain, you and I Come! By the way, and you, Ania, too!"

"Let's go, Suzaku, let's go to the imperial capital first..." When Gino saw Bertolis, he just talked casually, didn't care, and dragged Suzaku away!Suzaku seemed to want to say something, but Gino didn't give him a chance at all, leaving Ain and Arnia standing there awkwardly.

"Ain, tell me what you did last night..." Bertolis looked at Ain with a stern expression after seeing Gino and Suzaku leave.

"..." Ain was speechless!explain what?Tell you that this is a prank by that woman, Mariana?Are you kidding me?Leaving aside the existence of hostages, who would believe it?A woman who has been dead for several years is still alive, this matter may...

"Is there no explanation? Ain Asbrund, are you still a man?" Bertolis saw Ain's wry smile, and her tone was a little angry! "Ania, what do you think should be done with him?"

"I don't know! I don't know why I was in Ain's room last night, and my clothes..." Ania looked at Ain with some doubts, her face flushed a little.

"Does it need to be said? Ain must have used some dirty tricks on you, and then... I just didn't expect you to wake up in the middle! Ain, His Majesty the Emperor asked me to handle this matter myself, so... "

"Uh, that..." Just as Ain was about to say something, he felt two murderous gazes, and he was so frightened that he immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Well, I don't want to pursue this matter anymore! After all, you are all knights of the round table, and you are all swords of His Majesty the Emperor... Therefore, Ain, if there is a next time... Humph! Apologize, Ya! As long as she can forgive you, I won't say anything more..."

"I'm sorry, Arnia!" Ain hurriedly apologized to Arnia as if he was pardoned.

"..." Ania had a hesitant expression on her face, her eyes turned back and forth between Ain and Bertolis, and she didn't speak.

"Hmph! Ain, you go back first! Luckily, it's Arnia this time. If it were me, I would beat you until you can't take care of yourself for the rest of your life!" Bertolis said with gritted teeth, " Wait a minute, Ania, I still have something to talk to you!"

Molesting Bertores?I might as well just die!Such a strong and violent personality, if I marry a wife like this, I might as well raise a lion!And that woman Mariana too... Ain murmured in his heart a little angrily, and left with a look of fear on his face.Bertolis looked at the back of Ain going away, and then looked at the confused and dazed Arnia beside her, and sighed helplessly.

"Ania, do you hate Ain?"

"No...it's just that I can't figure out why Ain would do such a thing..."

"I also have some doubts about this... That's why I bypassed him so easily! Huh! Otherwise... By the way, do you like him?"

"No... I don't know..." Ania replied hesitantly.In front of Bertolis, the soul of gossip seemed to be ignited, and her smile was a little weird!Arnia said timidly, "I will take my leave first, Lady Bertolis!"

"That's it..." Bertolis looked at Ania, who was a little distracted when she left, and felt a little confused, "Although the knights of the round table can marry outsiders, there seems to be no precedent for the knights of the round table to marry. This thing is really…”

How does Bertolis look like a manager now?It's almost like an aunt next door who likes to mess around with red threads.If Ain was still around, he would definitely be overwhelmed by her words, considering marriage or something, this woman's thinking is really...
