Chapter 2377-2378 Alone
Xiao Ran left the crowded hall and walked up the stairs to the higher place of the Governor's Mansion. Veretta led the way in front and Jeremia followed behind.
In Jeremia's opinion, Xiao Ran's actions just now can only be described as reckless. When he brought Xiao Ran, he never expected that everyone in the entire circle would be so repulsive to Xiao Ran. Of course, he was also in a state of being rejected because of the two things that happened before. It was even more impossible for him to think that Xiao Ran would have such a direct way to express his position and give those people a shocking counterattack.
In his opinion, Xiao Ran should not be such a person. After contacting him in advance, Xiao Ran should be a more rational and deeper person. He is very mysterious and powerful, not the kind of passionate young man in the middle school. However, Xiao Ran did something more terrifying than the middle school school boy.
After leaving the hall, Jeremia quickly trotted and caught up with Xiao Ran, and whispered: "Teacher, why did you do this just now?"
"Do you think it's not suitable?" Xiao Ran turned his head and looked towards Jeremia, which also made Jeremia feel that Xiao Ran's gaze swept across him. After a moment of silence, Jeremia said: "No, it's just that in such an occasion, more people will become dissatisfied with the teacher."
"Their dissatisfaction is irrelevant, and why they reject me is irrelevant, and it is even less important to continue to exclude me in the future." Xiao Ran turned his head and said calmly: "What is important is to ensure the stability of District 11 and ensure the smooth handover of rights in the current form, and successfully gather all rights of District 11 in the hands of the governor."
"Because my dissatisfaction with me affects their respect for Governor Euflia, this is not a reason. Even if I will not be arrogant to the Governor, no one knows what I think. The identity of Princess Euflia can only allow these people to maintain basic respect in fame. My concession will eventually make these people disobey Governor Euflia's orders, doubt the ability of Governor Euflia, and even feel that weakness can be bullied."
"In general, the Governor is the princess, but after all, the deterrence and prestige are not enough. Before, it was just a person who had no experience in personally managing the numbering area. This is something that everyone can know, and it will also make some people think that Euflia is just a princess who is not valued."
"Many people may be thinking that even if the princess becomes the governor now, they will definitely be inseparable from their management of the 11th District. They will think that the current rights are what they deserve, and the governor should rely on them, and this mentality is undesirable."
"And since they are already dissatisfied, I feel very troublesome and there is no need to eliminate their dissatisfaction in a short period of time. So I simply let them be more awake and understand that their identity is just a servant of the royal family, making their dissatisfaction turn into fear, and a fear of power and superiors, and also making them understand that this is just a warning to them, and smart people will naturally understand."
"If people who don't understand, those who continue to reject them, once the governor takes over all their powers, these people will of course be labeled as unusable and replaced. It is true to seek stability and integration, but this stability should not be obtained by Ephillia's concession, and Ephillia's subsequent governance direction will definitely cause great trouble, and more resistance will appear at that time."
"So it's better to try to erase all these resistances from the beginning and make the rest of them become Eufelia's supporters. Now this is a good opportunity for those fools to come forward and shout out on their own initiative."
"And it won't take much time. The Empire Headquarters should send someone to take over as the Deputy Governor to assist Eufilia. This is the assistant and the inspector. I have studied the situation of each numbering area. All the governors in the numbering area are now the emperor's children, but this position is not completely stable. If you lack the ability, it will be replaced. Therefore, in order to avoid this, it is best to concentrate all rights in your own hands before the new deputy Governor takes office, so that Eufilia's position can truly sit firmly."
Xiao Ran stood in front of a double-opened door and turned to look at Jeremia: "Now, you should be regarded as Euflia's direct lineage. At the same time, your position and future rights will be closely related to Euflia. You must be clear about what you should do now."
"Yes, I understand." Jeremia lowered her head slightly and said, "I will strengthen my influence on the military as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded and said in a deep thought: "I informed the heads of various departments in District 11 to separate the forehand and deputy to let them go to different places. He said that after the succession ceremony, the Governor wanted to talk to them. It would not be so troublesome to find two conference rooms in this Governor's Mansion."
Jeremia and Vireta were stunned when they heard Xiao Ran’s arrangement. Xiao Ran had completely bypassed Euflia’s orders and arrangements. Speaking of which, this is not the right that the guardian knight should have.
"I will tell Euflia about this. Her position was not right. She turned from a mascot-like deputy governor to a formal governor. If we take this opportunity to completely suppress most people and make them into an iron bucket, these people will only become another problem in the future."
After saying that, Xiao Ran ignored Jeremia and glanced at Veretta: "The Governor is inside?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ran nodded, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. In just a few seconds, the door in front of him was directly opened, and Eufilia appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes. At this time, Eufilia was no longer the more common dress she had before, but she changed into a noble and elegant purple backless long skirt, a long-sleeved vest, and stood in front of Xiao Ran with a sad face.
Eufilia was also stunned when she saw Xiao Ran, but she soon realized who the person wearing a white knight uniform and a mask was. After seeing Xiao Ran, she flashed a faint surprise in her original sadness, and then quickly took a step back: "Mr. Xiao Ran, you are here."
Although Eufilia had already learned from Xiao Ran that this guy called himself Lelouch Xiao, the title of Mr. Xiao Ran had already taken root in her heart and was used to this name, so she called it directly.
"Governor." Xiao Ran stroked his chest and bent down slightly, raised his head and reminded: "Eufilia, at least in formal occasions, there is no need to call me Mr. Xiao Ran again."
Eufelia nodded with her lips pursed and said, "Mr. Knight, please come in."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded and glanced at Jeremia: "Go and inform the people below that the Governor will go down soon, and also do your best to collect all the information from the 19th District for me, especially what happened today, and give it to me in every detail."
Jeremia and Vireta took the order and left. Xiao Ran also walked into the door and closed the door. He turned around and saw Euflia sitting on the only big bed in the room with a long skirt. This room was also very large, occupying almost a quarter of the floor area, and the decoration style was extremely gorgeous.
Eufelia closed her hands together and placed her lower abdomen. She sat on the bed, lowered her head and said softly: "This was originally the room of Brother Curovis. All the things belonging to him have been collected and returned to China. Next, it should be where Sister Cornelia should live."
Xiao Ran did not focus too much on the decoration of the room, but walked directly to Eufelia who was in the bed: "But now this belongs to you, and you have also become the governor of District 11."
Eufilia lowered her head: "Originally the governor shouldn't be mine, but sister Cornelia's. She was injured and seriously injured. She couldn't be the governor of District 11. The situation there became very unstable. My father asked her to recover from the wounded place on the spot and stayed there to calm the situation there, so I became the governor of District 11. Originally, I came to this place just because of Sister Cornelia's relationship, but now..."
"It's all too sudden. I never thought it would be like this. I never thought I would become the governor of District 11. I don't want Sister Cornelia to be injured, and I don't want to be the governor here. I don't know what to do now..."
Xiao Ran looked at the depressed and felt a little sad because his sister, who had a good relationship, was injured. Because he suddenly became the governor, he seemed a little confused. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "Raise your head, Eufilia."
Eufelia raised her head, Xiao Ran could even see the tears in her eyes. After sighing softly, Xiao Ran said: "No matter what, you are the governor here now. Princess Cornelia was just injured. The current medical technology can completely heal the damage, so you don't have to worry too much. I also know from Jeremia. Although the situation there has changed, the country has also sent more support to the 19th District, so the situation there may not change any more in a short period of time."
"And once there is really an irreversible change, His Highness Cornelia, as the princess, will naturally make a reasonable judgment. Even if she chooses to evacuate, she will be the first group of evacuated personnel. After this incident, various security forces will definitely become more, and there is no need to worry more about safety issues."
"Eufilia, you should cheer up and do what a governor should do, hide your sorrow and sadness, and show everyone that you have the ability to become a governor. You don't know how to do it, but I will help you and do your best to help you complete your control over District 11. Only by sitting firmly in this position can you do more. Otherwise, you will become the governor of District 11, and you will lose this identity tomorrow. You can only return to your country to be a good princess. You can never do anything you want."
Eufelia gently bit her lower lip, looked at Xiao Ran with tears in her eyes and said dissatisfaction: "Shouldn't you comfort me now? Can what you said be a comfort?"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "In my opinion, it should be considered comfort, but I think the strong and beautiful Euflia needs not more comfort at this time, but the courage to handle everything now and the courage to surrender to everyone."
Eufelia pursed her lips gently and looked at Xiao Ran with a weak and at a loss: "But I don't know what to do."
Although Euflia was a princess before, she was just a student except for her identity. As the deputy governor, she could not have any rights because of Cornelia's relationship, and she had never been exposed to these things that she had to contact now. It was natural that she didn't know how to do it before she could get rid of her emotions.
Xiao Ran half-kneeled down and narrowed the distance between himself and Eufilia: "I think if you are really worried about His Highness Cornelia, it is better to completely control the 11th District. In this way, if you really think that the war in the 19th District is in a dilemma and implicate His Highness Cornelia, this place can also become her last destination and your paradise."
"And we agreed to make District 11 more peaceful together and make everyone get along equally in District 11. If you give up now, how can we reach our agreement?"
Eufilia looked at Xiao Ran and lowered her head again. Xiao Ran followed Eufilia's gaze and saw the white and bulging pieces exposed on the chest of the long skirt without covering it. He then retracted his gaze and said with a slanted look: "There are already many people waiting for the governor to go down below. If you want to become a real governor instead of a mascot and sign, then you should go down and completely use your identity, rights and status to completely subdue these people."
"You are the princess, the governor of District 11, and the master of all of them. The people below don't care about who they are and what they look like. They think of them as puppies and rabbits, and turn them into obedient pets. Or they treat them as background boards, go out to meet and say a few words, and then you can come back and have a good rest. Just leave the others to me."
"Don't be afraid or worry. When you get up tomorrow, you will see me staying by your side. Everything will basically end. They will also become a helper to help you achieve the coexistence of everyone in District 11 according to your ideas. If you are disobedient little pets, just send them back to your country. After all, you are the master, right?"
Eufilia looked at Xiao Ran who was half-kneeling. Although she couldn't see Xiao Ran's expression clearly through the mask, the gentle smile on the corner of her mouth really calmed her heart a lot. She covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said softly with tears in her smile: "You can't say that anymore. After all, most of them are nobles and high-ranking officials of the empire. If they hear it, they will definitely cause trouble for you."
"If you want to say troubles, I have already taught a lesson for someone who doesn't respect you enough before coming up." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "And I don't care about the opinions of these people and don't care what trouble they will cause me. I'm here just because of your relationship."
Eufilia was stunned when she heard Xiao Ran's words. She didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly reached out and touched the mask on Xiao Ran's face: "You... can you take it off and let me see it?"
