Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Plus, I’m about to leave District 11, so I feel a little reluctant.

Suddenly, the tip of his ears moved. He heard the sound of a door opening outside and someone came in.

Yin Li pulled her face out of the water, quickly wiped her body, and then left the bathroom.

As expected, the person outside the door was Lelouch.

He had already taken off his Zero helmet and was sitting in a single chair, leaning on his hands in a daze. "This was all your plan, right? You never told me."

He seemed to be talking to Yin Li, but also seemed like he was just muttering to himself in a trance.

Lelouch's behavior of rushing up to grab him without caring about his own life did make Yin Li feel guilty.

After all, Lelouch is different from him. Lelouch doesn't know that all this was planned by them. Lelouch really put his life at risk for Yin Li.

But at the same time, Yin Li also felt a surge of joy. He smiled brightly, "Sorry, Lelouch, I didn't expect you to be so worried about me."

"You're deliberately making me worry." Lelouch's tone was firm. "Have I satisfied you?"

He stood up and took two steps towards the young man, and a charming atmosphere enveloped Yin Li.

Lelouch's frank and straightforward words, coupled with the strange emotions he felt, made the boy take two steps back, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Lelouch pressed on, asking a series of questions.

"You've already planned this, right?"

"And when did you start planning this? Ever since Nunnally was kidnapped, right?"

"You erased Nunnally's memory of you. She only treated you as her brother's friend. You were so cruel to Nunnally. Was it because of me?"

Yin Li opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

What else should he say?

He didn't mean to torture Lelouch.

Everything he had planned was more cruel than Lelouch could have imagined.

He believed that Lelouch would never lead the Black Knights to rescue him because it would not benefit the Black Knights in any way.

When planning this, he never took Lelouch's feelings into consideration. Even if Lelouch really had feelings for him, that insignificant feeling would not be enough to affect the plan.

Who thought that things were exactly the opposite of what he thought.

He who understands human nature fell for it. Who was the first to be moved?

His proud perception ability fell on Lelouch.

He was deceiving himself. He kept saying in his mind over and over again that Lelouch didn't like him, and he didn't like Lelouch that much either.

If he discarded his emotions and considered things only with his mind, everything would become extremely simple. Lelouch hurt him, so he fought back; Lelouch didn't care about him, so he didn't care about Lelouch either. All his emotions became equivalent exchanges.

This is his prejudice.

"sorry......"

The young man lowered his eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly red, and his tone seemed to indicate that he had suffered great injustice, as if he was just waiting for Lelouch to say something harsh in the next second before he would burst into tears.

Lelouch was shocked by his own thoughts, but then quickly denied it. Yin Li was not the type to cry in front of others.

But Lelouch didn't dare to try it.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Yin Li. When they were closer, he could smell the orchid fragrance that had always haunted him.

Lelouch took a deep sniff, and Yin Li's skin, which was touched by his breath, instantly turned a shade of crimson.

Lelouch chuckled, not teasing his sensitivity, but spoke instead.

"When Geass is used to a certain extent, its power increases. When the user cannot control this powerful force, the Geass power will run wild and cannot be turned off."

"If one day my Geass gets out of control, I want you to be my shackles."

Yin Li knew Lelouch's intention to change the subject, so she continued, "I don't believe it. If it were you, you would definitely say something like 'I won't lose to GEASS'."

"I also have weaknesses, haven't you seen it?" Lelouch knelt on one knee and extended his hand to him, "So, think of a safe word for me. Only you can restrain me."

The proud Lelouch knelt down on one knee in front of him. Startled, Yin Li's breath stopped and he blinked in confusion, "I..."

Lelouch raised his hand, and Yin Li had no choice but to put her hand on it. Frowning in confusion, she said shyly, "Safewords..."

His expression was truly adorable, and Lelouch raised the corners of his lips, waiting for his answer.

Lelouch remained kneeling, as if he would not stand up until Yin Li came out.

It is quite difficult for him to maintain this posture as he is physically weak.

In order to free him as soon as possible, Yin Li quickly racked her brains while scanning the items in the room.

A safeword needs to be something that is not very common and extremely abrupt.

Red eyes swept out the window. On the deep blue water outside the submarine, the moon cast a dim reflection, swaying with the waves.

"Then let's use 'Hazy Moon'."

Lelouch stood up after hearing the answer and took his hand, "How elegant."

Lelouch leaned closer to him, so close that their breaths mingled. He lowered his eyes and looked at Yin Li sadly. He finally brought up the topic, "Do you really have to leave?"

Yin Li nodded and said, "Well, I have to go back. The Federation needs me."

Lelouch sighed inaudibly, "Will we meet again?"

"I will, Lelouch. I promise you." Yin Li kissed the corner of his lips, "I'm almost done with my revenge, you have to work hard too. When you succeed in your revenge, we can meet again."

"Okay, you must wait for me."

The night is very quiet, and the sea water is flowing quietly outside the window.

Lelouch couldn't help himself and leaned over to kiss the boy in his arms.

Chapter 254 Lelouch 31

Federation, capital.

Domestic media released a video of Yin Li being captured by Britannian soldiers at the Ashford Academy Festival, as well as a photo of the eunuch and Schneizel shaking hands in a friendly manner in [Avalon].

The story then became a conspiracy: "Eunuchs conspired with Britannia to murder the previous emperor." Then, conspiracy theories arose: Why did the eunuchs claim the previous emperor had died when he clearly wasn't? And why did the emperor flee to Area 11? These suspicions were all uncovered and magnified, becoming bullets fired at the imperial court.

After public opinion gradually fermented, Yin Li stood up again and talked about a series of acts of persecution by the eunuchs, and thanked the commander-in-chief of the Independent Army, Lu Mingxiu, for rescuing him.

Corruption, oppression of the people, and the plot to murder the emperor...

Now that we have all the excuses to overthrow the eunuchs' dictatorship, we can just wait for the war to begin.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and the guard came in, bowed, and then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Li Xingke requests an audience."

Hearing them still calling him "Your Majesty", Yin Li sighed helplessly.

Although Yin Li repeatedly emphasized that he was no longer the emperor and there would be no emperor in the future, the guards including Qin Xiuyuan still insisted on calling him that.

"Let him in."

Li Xingke first visited Lu Mingxiu before getting permission to meet Yin Li.

As soon as he entered, he knelt on one knee and bowed. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault that I was unable to accompany you. I caused you to experience such a dangerous thing."

"Get up." Yin Li waved her hand. "Are you the same as those people who don't know the inside story? You're actually apologizing for something like this?"

Or maybe he just wanted to use this as an excuse to express his apology regardless of the circumstances.

Li Xingke did nothing wrong. When his bedroom caught fire, Qin Xiuyuan, who had already received the news, took the opportunity to fake his death and send him out, and Li Xingke was clearly the one who was kept in the dark.

The same applies this time.

Yin Li really didn't understand why he apologized.

Just because he is the emperor, we trust him blindly.

Foolish loyalty, this is foolish loyalty.

Yin Li asked, "How is Jiang Lihua doing in the palace?"

Jiang Lihua is the current puppet emperor of the Federation and Yin Li's half-sister, but they do not have much contact in the palace. Yin Li only cares about her out of humanitarian spirit.

After he was sent to the Britannian Empire as a hostage, he effectively lost his inheritance rights to that position and reverted to his mother's rights.

If Qin Xiuyuan had not assassinated the emperor during his autumn hunting and slaughtered all the other princes, Yin Li would never have been able to return to the Federation.

His current safety was all due to Qin Xiuyuan's blood and tears.

Yin Li lowered his eyes and supported his chin with his hand. He knew that for those eunuchs and the federal government, the Qin family was someone who must be eliminated, no matter whether it was Qin Xiuyuan or him.

Therefore, he must take the initiative, support Lu Mingxiu's forces, and overthrow the federal government.

Li Xingke stood up and sat on the chair below him at Yin Li's signal. "Your Excellency, the Emperor's treatment remains the same as always."

Puppet treatment as always.

The guard beside him suddenly interrupted, "Your Majesty, the time has come."

Seeing this, Li Xingke asked apologetically, "Is there anything urgent?"

"It's nothing important, a friend just invited me to the ceremony. You should come too."

Yin Li waved his hand and the guard turned on the TV. The time was just right, and Idavia's founding ceremony had not yet begun.

After being completely freed from Britannia's control, Idavia will become a republic.

Britannia has too many colonies, and the recent intense war with the EU has given Idavia's liberation forces an opportunity to defeat Britannia's army in the concession in one fell swoop.

At this time, Edavia urgently needs a speech and a ceremony to gather people's hearts and allow the Edavian nation to achieve true independence. In this way, even if the Britannian Empire invades Edavia again, the people of Edavia who have tasted independence will never be assimilated and will not give up resistance.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a slightly anxious knock on the door.

On the TV screen, Idavia's armed forces were marching through the central square to the beat of a symphony.

Yin Li focused his attention on the TV and casually said, "Come in."

The guard walked in and wanted to speak a little eagerly, but closed his mouth the moment he saw Li Xingke.

Yin Li waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, go ahead and speak."

"The exploration technicians have already arrived in the Federation, and..."
