Rubik's Cube World

"bang bang bang"

"Sigh..." The door in front of Cornelia was opened from the inside, and Ito Cheng in a silk robe pajamas appeared at the door, looked at Cornelia outside the door in surprise and said, "It's you!" Then he turned sideways to open the door. "Come in.()"

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

"It's so late that I didn't expect you to come to me. Aren't you afraid that I will do something?" Ito Cheng went to sit opposite Cornelia and sat down with his legs raised up naturally, with a teasing expression on his face laughed.

"If you want to, you can do it when you are on the front line of EU, you don't have to wait until now." Cornelia said very flatly.

"Tell me, what do you want from 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, and asked directly.

"I want to ask you to help me investigate the truth of something." A hesitant look flashed across Cornelia's face, which was replaced by firmness, and she said decisively.

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

"I would like you to help me investigate the real cause of death of the fifth imperial concubine of the empire who died in an assassination seven and a half years ago, Princess Mariana vie Britannia known as the Shining Mariana." Cornelia Clenching his fists unconsciously, he said in a cold tone.

"Didn't you already say that she died in an assassination? Why do you want me to investigate the cause of death?" Ito Cheng's eyes flashed suddenly, but he still asked pretending to be puzzled on the surface.

"Yes. The news I got is that Princess Mariana died in an assassination, but what happened that day was too strange. First of all, Princess Mariana's transfer of the guards from the palace was very abnormal. The feeling was obviously that she was going to meet someone And I don’t want to be known by other people. The second is that the murderer announced to the outside world is actually a terrorist..." A sneer flashed across Cornelia's face at this point, "There are terrorists breaking into such an outrageous place inside the palace. Things, where does this leave me as the commander of the guard at that time? Where does this leave the safety of other royal family members? Last but not least, the former Princess Mariana was the sixth-ranked knight of the round table. Whether it's the ability to drive the knightmare or the fighting ability is far superior to ordinary people, it's unreasonable not to be able to support the palace guards who are less than 200 meters away from the palace to come to the rescue."

"So I suspect that although Princess Mariana died in an assassination, it was definitely not the so-called terrorists or royal family members, but died of the mysterious person who could persuade Princess Mariana to transfer the guards and meet privately." Hand. Only by that person can it be possible for Princess Mariana to 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 would have no face to see the dead brother Lelouch and sister Nunnally." Cornelia looked up and met Ito Cheng's eyes.

"Yes." Ito Cheng quietly looked at Cornelia for a moment and nodded, "You can't just ask me to pay while I don't do anything. This is not in line with the principle of equivalent exchange in transactions."

"Thank you." Cornelia thanked her sincerely.

"You're welcome, you should." Ito Cheng waved his hand indifferently.Then he asked, "Do you have the investigation report of the incident in your hand, and the personnel information of the witnesses at that time?"

"I will send someone to send you the investigation report tomorrow, but I only know of two witnesses. One is the current Knight of the Sixth Round Table, Arnia Alstroem, and the other is the late Imperial Princess Na. Nali vi Britannia. These two are the only two witnesses who witnessed the whole incident. As for me and the other guards who arrived later, all I saw was lying dead in a pool of blood The corpse of Princess Marianna that was on Nunnally's body..." Cornelia said.

"Then can I meet the sixth knight Arnia Alstroem?" Ito Cheng asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Cornelia explained with a slight frown, "Since the Blood Emblem Rebellion happened 19 years ago, the emperor has made a rule: members of the royal family are not allowed to communicate with anyone without the emperor's permission." The Knights of the Round Table meet privately, otherwise the charges will be judged according to the circumstances. The most serious crime is the crime of treason, so even as a soldier, I cannot ask to see the Knights of the Round Table at will without a valid reason."

"Heh. Things like rebellion can be prohibited by regulations. It's just superfluous." Itocheng sneered.

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

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

"It's not difficult at all. You just need to pretend to be my guard and stay with me when I enter the palace." Cornelia said.

"Well, you can call me when the time comes." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Okay, I won't bother you." Cornelia got up from the sofa and said, "I wish you a sweet dream."

"En." Ito Cheng sat still in his seat, accepted the blessing with his head, and watched Cornelia walk out of the room.Then he spread his arms on the back of the sofa behind him, leaned his entire back on it, raised his head and closed his eyes and said, "Princess Mariana..."

After a while, he got up abruptly, turned around and went back to the bed, lifted the thin white down quilt that was enough for four or five people to lie side by side, stretched his legs and lay down, and rested.

"Comfortable!" Ito Cheng couldn't help moaning, feeling the softness of his back in contact with the mattress.

Nothing happened all night, I slept soundly...

"bang bang bang"

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

"Understood." Ito Cheng replied lying on the bed, then got up and sat up from the bed, then walked to the window, opened the dark brown curtain like a curtain in front of him, and squinted his eyes to enjoy the sunshine The warmth that shines on the body.After stretching comfortably, she turned around and walked into the bathroom in the bedroom to wash herself up.

After a while, Ito Cheng in a Britannia costume came out of the room.

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

"Morning." Cornelia, who was wearing red trousers, a lavender casual shirt with a stand-up collar and long sleeves, and her sweat-drenched hair naturally parted, nodded in return.

"Really hardworking." Ito Cheng, who walked down the stairs, glanced at the slender sword put aside by Cornelia and praised.

"As a commander, you must have power far beyond all the soldiers, otherwise the soldiers you bring out will only be a bunch of useless lambs." Cornelia handed the towel that completed her mission to Liz, the maid standing beside her. The last throw, said sonorously.

"It turns out that you are taking the road of overlord who builds prestige with personal bravery, leads the army with prestige, and builds military achievements with the army." After hearing this, Ito Cheng said with some clarity based on his observation of Cornelia during this period of time. .

"Overlord?" Cornelia lowered her head and thought for a while, feeling that Cheng Ito's description was very appropriate, and repeated it subconsciously.Then he came back to his senses and said to Ito, "Let's have dinner."

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded in agreement.

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

"Dang Dang Dang Dang" a crisp bell sounded in the room.Then several maids with silver trays in their hands walked in from the door after the bell rang, and came to Ito Cheng and Cornelia in two waves, and put the silver trays in their hands on the two sides one after another. on the dining table in front of the person.

A few slices of bread, a piece of butter, a small dish of caviar or foie gras sauce, two slices of vegetables, two sticks of ham, two fried eggs, a plate of cut fruits, a cup of milk And silver knives and forks as tableware, this is everything in front of the two of them.

Ito Cheng, who already knew how to eat Western food in the world of steel smelting, did not need to be taught. He directly picked up a piece of bread, cut a piece of butter on the small butter with a knife, spread it on the bread, and then cut the ham into pieces and sprinkled it on the Butter, then cover the vegetables, cover the vegetables with eggs, add a little sauce on the eggs, and finally cover with another piece of bread, a homemade sandwich is complete...

Cornelia looked at Ito Cheng's way of eating and shook her head speechlessly, ignoring it, she cut off a piece of the egg and chewed it in her mouth...

"The taste is okay." Ito Cheng took a bite of the sandwich in his hand, and said after feeling it carefully for a while.It's a pity that no one answered his words except for the maid who lowered her eyes and kept her eyes fixed.But Ito Cheng didn't care, and ate it very proudly.

After destroying all the things in front of him, he asked the maid who was waiting on the side, "Is there any more?"

"Yes, please wait a moment." The maid was taken aback by the question, but she still replied quickly.Even if there is no kitchen, this thing will be made fresh, otherwise, why would the princess mansion raise these cooks? It's just the first time the maid has encountered such a person who completely disregards etiquette and doesn't care about face.

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