Chapter 1933: Request for the Liberation of Brittany
While the people in the audience and netizens on the Internet were discussing this, Lelouch took the microphone again and spoke to everyone.
"That's the way it is. The Human Innovation Union already has countermeasures, so there's no need to worry about the GEASS ability affecting everyone."
"In terms of protecting the people, the Human Innovation Union has always been the best among the three major countries. I believe you all know this. So this time I have received official support from the Human Innovation Union. You should be able to trust me, right?"
"Even if you don't trust an outsider like me, you should be able to trust the officials of the Human Innovation and Unification Association, right?"
As everyone nodded, Lelouch continued speaking with a smile.
"Well, let's get down to business."
"My father, Charles DI Britannia, has the ability to modify human memories and implant the personality he wants."
"Words are not enough, let's go straight to the evidence. Please watch the VCR."
Lelouch raised his hand and asked everyone to look at the large eye screen on the side, where a video began to play.
——Video——
In a place similar to a battlefield, on the ground not far away from a KMF that was burning fiercely.
Cornelia, the famous Valkyrie of Brittany, was currently being hugged from behind by Kallen Red Moon and was struggling constantly.
Lelouch, wearing ZERO's clothes, took off his helmet in front of Cornelia and shouted anxiously.
"Sister, it's me. I'm your biological brother, Lelouch. Sister, wake up!"
Cornelia's eyes glowed red as she sternly reprimanded, "I know it's you, Lelouch. You, the traitor who dared to disobey my father, deserve to die. Kallen Kozuki, you bitch, let me go. I want to kill this traitor and eliminate the enemies for my father!"
Lelouch took two steps back with an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he was hurt by Cornelia's words: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that I became Zero and founded the Black Knights to fight against that curly-haired bastard Charles with your approval?"
"Have you forgotten? You said that as long as I don't go too far and only target that bastard Charles, you'll be willing to help me."
"Have you forgotten all these things?"
Cornelia scolded with a grim face: "Ridiculous, I don't have such memory at all. You traitor, don't make up memories that I don't have. Lelouch, if you are still my brother, immediately let Kallen Kozuki let me go, so that I can shoot you immediately and eliminate the traitor."
Lelouch looked shocked, and Kallen Kozuki also had a surprised expression on her face: "No, Cornelia, are you crazy? Why did you go back to Area 11? Did KMF damage your brain and make you lose your memory?"
"When Lelouch proposed to form the Black Knights to attack the Emperor of Brittany, you and that Third Prince Clovis both expressed your support."
"I spent some time with you before. Aren't you the one who loves your brothers and sisters the most? Are you even willing to go against that curly-haired emperor for their sake?"
"What's going on now? You want to kill Lelouch for that curly-haired emperor? Where's Clovis? Didn't he go back with you? Why is he gone?"
Hearing Hongyue Kallen mention Clovis, Cornelia was stunned: "Clovis... Clovis... strange... what happened to Clovis... why don't I remember it."
Seeing Cornelia shaking her head from side to side in a daze, trying hard to recall something, Lelouch suddenly asked with a grim expression.
"Royal sister, is it that curly-haired bastard? Have you seen that curly-haired bastard?"
Cornelia looked at Lelouch blankly, "Father? Yes, I have met the father. What's wrong?"
Lelouch's face showed hatred and self-blame: "Damn it, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you that the curly-haired bastard also has GEASS, and it's a GEASS that modifies other people's memories. Your memory was modified by that bastard. That's why you forgot what happened in the past."
As Cornelia looked puzzled, Lelouch turned around and shouted, "Jeremiah!!!"
A KMF flew over and stopped. Jeremiah, wearing a strange half mask, jumped down and knelt down to salute.
"Your Highness, I am here. What can I do for you?"
Lelouch looked at Cornelia and said, "My sister has been hit by GEASS. Use the newly developed GEASS canceller to remove the GEASS from her."
Jeremiah stood up, "Understood. GEASS disabler, activated."
The half of the mask on Jeremiah's face flashed near his eyes, and Cornelia's movements froze completely.
The camera was focused on Cornelia's face. Cornelia's expression changed from astonishment at first, to confusion, then to anger, and finally to relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake, Lelouch, you did a good job."
Lelouch quickly walked over to her, "Sister, are you okay?"
Cornelia smiled gently. "Well, thanks to you, I'm fine. But... Alas, I didn't expect my father would really do this. I'm his biological daughter, but he actually used GEASS on me and modified my memory."
"It's all my fault. I insisted on going back, but I didn't expect to be captured by father's men. I'm fine because I'm still useful. Father just modified my memory and let me fight you."
"But Clovis... Lelouch, I will fight with you against our father this time. We must rescue Clovis."
Lelouch nodded happily and asked Kallen Benizuki to let Cornelia go, then the two siblings hugged each other happily.
The scene is frozen.
——End of video——
As everyone stared in astonishment, Lelouch slammed the table top of the podium and shouted in a stern voice.
"See, everyone, this is my good father, this is the Emperor of Brittany."
"In order to consolidate his power, he even killed his own daughter, Cornelia, a Valkyrie who had made great contributions to Brittany, and used GEASS to distort her memory and personality."
"It's hard to imagine that a guy who could kill his own daughter would be unwilling to kill other ministers and subordinates."
"In fact, if he is a little more ruthless, it is very likely that the entire royal family of Brittany and all the nobles chose to be loyal to him because their memories were modified by his GEASS."
"One person modified the memories of the nation's top leaders and took control of the entire country."
“What kind of atrocity is this?”
"Everyone, do you think this kind of behavior is allowed?"
After a few actors among the reporters stood up and shouted "No", the emotions of the others were aroused and they all shouted "No".
Then, Lelouch looked towards the camera, bowed his head sincerely, and begged.
"I, Lelouch V. Brittany, am here to ask the Celestial Being to allow me to conquer Brittany."
"This is not a civil war for power, resources, or religion, but a war of liberation to free all enslaved humans in Brittany from the damn slave owner, Charles DI Brittany!"
"So, please don't get involved, we promise that we will only target Charles DI Britannia and no one else."
"I understand the noble ideals of heaven and man, but a man like Charles DI Britannia, who enslaved an entire country and modified the memories of the country's top leaders for his own selfish desires, is not worthy of being a human being."
"Fighting a guy who is not a human being is not a civil war at all!"
"So, please allow this battle to liberate Brittany, please!"
"We ask for nothing more than the liberation of the people of Brittany."
"As long as Charles DI Britannia remains, and as long as his atrocities are not stopped, the future of humanity will be tainted and the future of humanity will be affected."
"So, please allow us to start this war."
"We are only fighting for the most basic human rights and free spirit of mankind. We are fighting for the freedom of personal will that everyone should enjoy!"
Lelouch's remarks shocked the whole world, with countless people expressing their support online.
Especially for the Free Federation, which has always prided itself on freedom and democracy, Lelouch's words almost touched their hearts.
For a time, everyone in the Free Federation on the Internet shouted that they wanted to join Lelouch's crusade team to attack Charles DI Britannia's Britannia.
The voice of public opinion swept across the world like a tsunami.
Brittany and Charles DI Brittany became the target of public criticism.
