Chapter 614:
Roman did not answer Cornelia obediently, but instead questioned Cornelia.
"I have already told Princess Marianne about this matter - what have you done to the Princess, to allow the Princess to protect you."
"Princess Mariana protects me?" Princess Mariana would know that Lelouch's foot was injured, and Roman was not surprised at all, because in Lelouch and Roman's plan, someone must be around to cover Lelouch's foot. Injury, it is more convenient to hide Nanali.
"Oh, this is the trust of Princess Mariana, because it really wasn't my fault. It was Lelouch that he accidentally twisted himself."
"Heh, everyone who makes a mistake will find a way to shirk their responsibility. You are Lelouch and Nanali's personal doctor, you should ensure their health, and now that Lelouch is injured, you should pay main responsibility."
Cornelia's hand grabbed Roman tightly, not intending to let go, while the other hand grabbed the saber pinned to her waist.
Roman heard the sound of the sharp sword rubbing against the scabbard, and it was obvious that Cornelia drew the sword.
"Wait, are you planning to do it here? Hurry up and let me go!"
"I won't let go, I'll execute you right here. As for Nanali... I'll apologize to her afterwards, and whatever it takes to make amends, I'm willing to do it."
Cornelia's face was expressionless, her sword had already been drawn, and the gleaming blade of the sword looked very terrifying, and it seemed that she had decided to execute Roman on the spot.
Cornelia is very doting on her younger siblings, and she is a little affectionate towards blood relatives in the royal family, so she can't bear the lack of a hair in the people around her. Lelouch had done such a big thing, and it was understandable that Cornelia would hold Roman Reigns accountable, but he didn't expect Cornelia to choose this place.
At least be patient for a while, and wait until I leave the palace after get off work before I do it. If I do it in the Aries Palace, I am embarrassed to fight back.
Fortunately, Roman doesn't need to think about whether he should do it, because a third party has already appeared to stop Cornelia.
"Your Highness Cornelia."
A maid appeared beside them, a little girl not much older than Nanali, with exaggerated pink long hair **** high.
She looked very timid, and she didn't dare to approach the two of them with a timid look. It was all because you were too fierce, Cornelia.
"I remember that you are... the maid by the imperial concubine's side."
"You don't even remember who she is, do you?"
"Shut up! There's no place for you to talk here!"
Cornelia glared fiercely at the talkative Roman, and the long sword swiped by Roman's ear, taking away a few of his hair.
The murderous look on her face once again frightened the little girl, and she was trembling and didn't dare to speak.
——Today, Cornelia pointed her sword at me and cut off a few of my hair. I have written down this hatred.
Cornelia's murderous aura could not be completely restrained. She looked at the pink-haired girl and asked, "Is there any order from the imperial concubine?"
"Yes, yes." The pink-haired girl looked at the sword in Cornelia's hand, and her whole body trembled even more, "The imperial concubine asked me to inform His Highness, please take the guard away from the Palace of Aries."
"What did you say?!"
"I said to you, be gentle when you speak. Didn't you see that she was so frightened by you that her voice was deformed?"
"Shut up! Who do you think it's because of!"
- Do you have to blame me for this?
Roman almost didn't point to himself to ask, but he still said without any influence: "The most important thing now is to find out what's going on, not to question me!"
Cornelia just glared at him: "Has the princess said any reason?"
The pink-haired girl shook her head, and then said as if she woke up, "No, but the imperial concubine approached a guest just now."
This kid just doesn't pass. To know that she is the maid of Princess Mariana, not someone from Cornelia, she only needs to be responsible to Mariana and complete the work that Mariana gave her. Disclosing the news of Marianna to others like this is no different from betraying Marianna.
Chapter 980 Chapter 27
"guest?"
Mariana's order came out of nowhere, but Cornelia was not incomprehensible.
Mariana is not just a vase living in the palace like other princesses, she is a real strength, a former knight of the round table. Although it is said that he has withdrawn from the Knights of the Round Table and is ready to "give husband and son" in the palace, even if he is on the battlefield, he will turn around twice, but Marianna's prestige in the army has not faded.
If Marianne wants to see figures in the military, it is really not suitable for outsiders to see, because she no longer has that responsibility.
It's just that Mariana was deeply favored by the emperor, and what did she have to discuss with the military boss, and she really made Cornelia ponder.
To know that it is less than 10 years before the "Blood Emblem Rebellion", and Cornelia is also one of the royal children deeply affected by the rebellion, which makes her very worried. If Marianne really intends to start a rebellion, push Charles to become queen herself, then what can Cornelia do?
This speculation was of course overturned by Cornelia in the first place, because Marianne and Charles had a good relationship, and their intimacy was unbreakable. The reason why Charles could survive was because of Marianne’s rebellion in that year. protect him.
As for how to choose between an idol and her own father, Cornelia, a brain-dead fan, seems to have gotten a not-so-good answer.
"I see." After thinking about it again and again, Cornelia decided to evacuate the guards of the Aries Palace, and she didn't even plan to go to Marianna to verify this order, because she was obviously not suitable to see Marianna's guests now.
It's a way of life to not see what you shouldn't see. People who know too much often don't end well.
"What are you doing standing here! Come here!"
"Ah? Let it go! I still have to go to work. Don't hold me, let me go to work!"
Cornelia pulled Roman by the collar and dragged him away. When he arrived at the door, he gave orders to the guards around him, and after a while, the guards guarding the Palace of Aries left.
Cornelia didn't let Roman's plan go, she dragged Roman along, it seemed that she planned to go to another place and continue to execute Roman's vermin.
"Speaking of which, doesn't Her Highness Cornelia find Her Majesty Marianna's order strange?"
Cornelia just looked at Roman still, and then gave a contemptuous sneer, probably meaning: what do you know about a salary thief like you?
Roman didn't care about Cornelia's reaction, and then said to himself: "His Royal Highness Marianna obviously wants to discuss very confidential matters with the guests, but Lelouch and Nanali are still with Her Royal Highness Marianna now."
Just this sentence is enough to make Cornelia unable to calm down.
If Marianne and the military discussed secret matters that should not be revealed to outsiders, then the people who were driven out should not only be people from Cornelia, but even Lelouch and Nanali should be included in this range.
"Even if it's about Lelouch and Nanali, they shouldn't be there. You know that children's mouths are not that strict. If they know it, it's hard to say whether they will be exposed accidentally. Forget Lelouch, Nanali is so naive, no matter what the secret is, I only need two minutes to coax it out."
Then Cornelia gave Roman a contemptuous look back.
It's hard to coax children, and it's impossible for a woman like you to be a parent.
"All in all, you'd better hurry back now. Whether it's to confirm Princess Mariana's orders, or for Lelouch and Nanali, you shouldn't leave without a word."
"You should have said this earlier! Stay here for me, no matter what, after this time, I'll let you go!"
Cornelia is a very decisive person, or in other words, her love for her younger brother and sister made her make decisions. She didn't care about Roman, a dispensable doctor, at all.
Cornelia did not go back to the Aries Palace alone. Although it was not suitable to bring many people, there were still a few knights around.
She ran back almost regardless of etiquette, looking for Princess Mariana in the quiet Aries Palace, but she found that she had come a step late.
As she approached the gardens of the Aries Palace, there was a rush of gunfire.
"what--!"
"Nanalie!!!"
Cornelia could hear that the one who screamed was Nanali, and she rushed out without thinking.
"His Royal Highness!" The guard next to him followed. A group of people broke in at the same time, attracting the attention of the attackers, and the gun shooting stopped instantly at the beginning, and the whole process did not take more than two seconds.
"Retreat!"
Cornelia heard an order from a young voice she had never heard before, and the attackers quickly made a decision to retreat.
"Stop chasing! Protect this place!"
Cornelia gave orders to the guards beside her. Those attackers had firearms in their hands, so it was difficult for them to pursue them, and the most important thing now is not to hunt down these attackers, but to save the lives of the attackers.
Cornelia didn't even look at the fallen maids around, she came to Marianna. The main target of those people is obviously Marianna, although only two seconds is not enough, but Marianna is already covered in blood. Also because Cornelia arrived in time, Mariana did not die immediately, and her consciousness remained awake, but Cornelia could judge that Mariana should have died before the doctor arrived.
Lelouch was not here, but Nanali was there, who happened to be in the arms of Princess Mariana. Nanali appears to be protected by Marianna from injury, but is clearly frightened. Those beautiful big eyes were wide open, but they seemed to be unable to see anything. The whole person had stiffened, and the screams continued until Cornelia came to him.
"His Royal Highness!"
Cornelia squatted down. She wanted to examine Mariana's body, but she didn't dare to reach out and touch it. She has more than ten bullet holes in her body, and blood will spill out with a light touch.
"Cornelia..." Marianna's eyes were rolling, and she could still recognize that the person in front of her was Cornelia, but she could only do the movement of rolling her eyes now.
"Nanali is fine, she's not hurt." Cornelia understood what Marianna was asking, she gave an answer that satisfied Marianna, and then found that Marianna was unresponsive.
"Doctor! Have you called a doctor? Let them come right away!!"
"Hey! Buckle!"
Chapter 981 Chapter 28 Surgery
Roman? !
Cornelia didn't expect that she just said a word casually, and Roman arrived here. Obviously, Roman did not stay there obediently, but secretly followed them in.
But of course Cornelia didn't care that Roman didn't obey her orders at this time, and it was useful for the first time, which was enough for Cornelia to forgive all his previous mistakes.
But this is clearly not enough. There is only one person, who can't save Marianne, who has been shot and who doesn't know how many shots. Moreover, she is a doctor who doesn't even know if she has taken pictures.
"It's me. Because His Highness Cornelia is too aggressive, so I followed me worriedly. It seems that I can still come in handy."
Roman walked over while sighing, but he didn't do it the first time, but looked at Nanali in Princess Marianne's arms.
"Nanally, can you hear me?"
Nanali's eyes were rolling, and her trembling eyes looked at Roman: "Roman..."
Her eyes seemed to recover, and the fear in Nanali's heart was gradually subsided by Roman's appearance.
"Doctor Roman..." "Wait a minute."
Roman knew that the time was urgent, but some things couldn't be rushed: "Nanali, listen carefully, no matter what happens next, don't move, Cornelia will protect you."
"Roman..."
"I want to perform surgery on Her Royal Highness, so I can't take care of you."
Roman shook his head, and then started to do it. He grabbed Marianna's hands, then opened them gently, exposing Nanali's body. Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Nanali's armpit and hugged her whole body. Before he could comfort Nanali's trembling body, Nanali's hands were already holding him tightly.
"Don't be afraid, Nanali, no one will hurt you. You have to be obedient, Princess Mariana is still alive, and you shouldn't interfere with me now. Cornelia will take care of you, so don't worry, it won't be long. , Princess Marianne will wake up."
Nanali didn't even regain the ability to speak, but she could understand Roman's words, so the stiff and trembling hands began to loosen, and Roman held her and handed it to Cornelia.
"Doctor Roman..."
Roman didn't speak, he just nodded, and then quickly hugged Marianne's body horizontally.
Marianne is very tall and looks very slender, but she is not light, that is because her body has a higher muscle composition. The muscles of the body have successfully prevented the bullet from entering the depths, and with the timely appearance of Cornelia, Mariana did not suffer any more wounds and was not injured by the bullet to the aorta, so although she is now unconscious, she has not. die.
"There is still salvation. Cornelia, ask the doctor to prepare the blood bag of type A blood... No, let the knight send the blood bag directly from the blood bank. We can't wait any longer here."
"I see! - What are you still looking at here? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Hurry up to the blood bank and get the blood type A!"
Roman didn't care about other things. He hugged Mariana's body and ran to his clinic quickly. When he put her on the bed, he took out the surgical tools he had already prepared.
...
It took seven hours for Roman to leave the operating room with many doctors.
For Roman, this is just a minor operation. As long as the blood is replenished in time, a simple gunshot wound is nothing at all. Roman didn't need seven hours for the operation at all, but it would be too terrifying if the time was too early, so the follow-up correction work also took a lot of time.
Those who waited outside the operating room felt that the time was very long, but it was incredible to assist Roman as the surgeon.
"The operation was very successful. Everyone, Her Royal Highness Mariana is now out of the dangerous period, but she has not woken up yet. She needs a period of rest and will wake up within 24 hours. I hope everyone will not disturb her too much."
Roman's words caused a burst of cheers. Although many people did not see Marianne's injuries, the people who died in the back garden were enough to let them know the intensity of this attack, and with the time of the operation, everyone could imagine that Marianne was on the brink of death.
Roman, who walked out of the door of the operating room, saw the nervous expressions of Nanali and Lelouch, and he said calmly:
"Lelouch, Nanali, you can go in and visit His Highness now. But be careful, don't make too much noise, because it will disturb His Highness's rest. As for the others, please leave temporarily, if you want to visit Your Royal Highness, please come back in a few days."
Few people didn't want to listen to the doctor's words. Even if they arrived, they didn't want to take it seriously. It was about Marianne, and everyone didn't want to bear the infamy. In other words, Mariana was respected by everyone, so they were reluctant to let Mariana be hurt in the slightest.
"Go, Nanali." Roman noticed that Nanali still looked scared, he pushed Nanali's back gently, and then pushed her and Lelouch into the operating room.
The others also dispersed at this time, leaving only a few maids in charge of serving Mariana.
Emperor Charles did not appear, which is incredible in the eyes of others, because the love between Charles and Marianne is obvious to all. But Roman, who knew the inside story, didn't think it was wrong, because Charles was the one who knew the true identity of the attacker, so it's probably time to question him. But his questioning was pointless, because the attackers were not afraid of any threat from Charles.
In comparison, Roman cares more about another person.
Roman asked the maid next to him: "By the way, have you seen the child next to Her Royal Highness Marianna? It's a short, pink-haired child who has been attacking the scene."
"You mean Ania? She has been taken away by Her Royal Highness Cornelia."
"Cornelia...I see." As the only unharmed survivor of the attack, Cornelia naturally asked the child. Of course it wasn't that there was something wrong with the child, but because Cornelia wanted to find out who the attacker was through Ania, and it was Ania who sent Mariana's order to Cornelia to let her The surrounding guards led away from the Aries Palace.
