Depressive Screenwriter

At eight o'clock, episode twelve of "Code Geass" began promptly.

At that moment, the TV ratings soared.

Although many fans stated they wouldn't accept Euphemia's tragic end, threatening to drop the show if Lelouch killed her in this episode,

it was often these viewers who were the show's most loyal fans, the ones who invested the most emotion, and now they were all waiting in front of their TVs.

The episode began with a city-based battle.

The Black Knights had been developing for quite some time.

The Black Knights' weapons and funding were provided by several political families in the Kyoto area. Of course, after Area 11 was established, these families all outwardly submitted to Britannia. The unfair policies in Area 11, where Britannians were supreme and the native residents were treated as an inferior race, turned the entire area into fertile ground for revolutionaries.

Ultimately, at least within Area 11, the Britannian military no longer held a significant advantage against Lelouch's Black Knights.

Now, the two sides were engaged in fierce urban combat.

Missiles, tanks, planes, mechs, fireworks blooming, innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire everywhere.

The root of all this was Lelouch's inability to control his power.

Geass is called the power of the king, and now, Xue Zhiyong understood a little why it had that title.

Soon, Euphemia was found, and her mech was destroyed.

Kallen and Lelouch appeared before her.

Xue Zhiyong's breath hitched.

What was going to happen next?

[Slaughter, kill all Elevens!] Euphemia, controlled by the power of Geass, didn't care about Kallen and Lelouch in front of her.

She didn't know Kallen's background, but Lelouch was a Britannian, so Euphemia ignored them, raised her gun, and aimed at the fleeing Elevens around her.

She had completely lost her reason.

Or rather, her consciousness still existed, and she still had an understanding of things, but the command to kill Elevens overwhelmed all her thoughts. Euphemia wouldn't stop her slaughter until all the Elevens were completely exterminated.

"Lelouch lost control, and the power of Geass has actually intensified?"

Lelouch put on his mask, stepped out of his mech, and slowly approached Euphemia.

Euphemia's expression became confused.

[I was thinking, let's make the Special Administrative Zone government together.]

Euphemia stopped speaking.

Her ideal of peace clashed with the command of Geass.

[If possible, I'd like to do that too!] Lelouch raised the gun in his hand.

The scene didn't show his expression under the mask, but Xue Zhiyong could tell that he was heartbroken, in pain, but still, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

At that moment, Suzaku arrived in his Lancelot mech.

He happened to see the blood blossoming on Euphemia's chest.

Euphemia, Lelouch, Suzaku, the three were frozen in a split screen.

Xue Zhiyong didn't dare to breathe loudly.

He really did it!

Su Yan, you really made Lelouch kill Euphemia with his own hands, and in front of his good friend Suzaku, kill the girl Suzaku liked?

This, wouldn't this lead to everyone turning against him?

Su Yan, what kind of script are you writing?

Xue Zhiyong was angry.

Before this episode aired, he thought Lelouch still had a trick up his sleeve, but if things continued like this, how would the story progress?

Suddenly, Xue Zhiyong remembered a sentence that had been mentioned repeatedly in the show before.

The king is lonely.

Was Lelouch lonely?

No, he had Shirley, a girl who secretly liked him, but Shirley had forgotten him.

He had Suzaku, a friend who shared life and death with him. Suzaku had risked his life to save him. But now, Lelouch had personally killed Euphemia, the girl Suzaku liked, although it was a mistake, a loss of control of his power. But the mastermind behind this massacre was undoubtedly Lelouch. If Suzaku knew everything, he would definitely become enemies with Lelouch.

Lelouch's subordinates, the Black Knights, Kallen, and the others, all thought Lelouch was an idealist who wanted to liberate Area 11 and fought with them for world peace.

But now, Lelouch's true intentions didn't matter. If the truth was revealed, his subordinates would immediately, immediately betray him.

Then, Lelouch's sister, Nunnally, had a good relationship with Euphemia. If the truth was exposed, his sister would probably immediately part ways with him as well.

Basically, as long as it was exposed that Lelouch's Geass lost control and made Euphemia do these things, Lelouch would immediately become isolated and friendless, an enemy of the world.

Sad BGM sounded.

Suzaku saw Euphemia fall in a pool of blood, but more important than fighting Lelouch and Kallen at this moment was rescuing Euphemia and sending her to the hospital.

He tried his best to snatch Euphemia back from Kallen's mech and headed towards the military hospital.

On the other side, Lelouch took the opportunity to cleanse the various forces within his team. With Euphemia committing such "atrocities," his personally shooting Euphemia had made him a savior in the hearts of the Black Knights, the revolutionaries, and the ordinary residents of Area 11.

The plot was farcical and ironic.

In the hospital, Euphemia, who was in critical condition in the intensive care unit, opened her eyes with difficulty.

At the moment of her dying breath, her will could resist Lelouch's command. The memories of what she had done under the control of Geass became blurred.

"Euphemia, I hope you can tell me, why did you give such an order?" Suzaku's expression was sad.

"Order?" Euphemia was puzzled.

Xue Zhiyong's heart ached. Su Yan, you really have no humanity.

Euphemia didn't know what she had done, but what would happen if she knew her orders in a clear state of mind?

Would she die with endless regret and despair?

"More than that, Suzaku is an Eleven, right?" Euphemia stared at Suzaku, but quickly struggled.

"No, I can't think about that kind of thing."

Her beautiful, pale face was full of struggle. She suppressed the killing intent in her heart and showed Suzaku her last smile.

"Suzaku, the ceremony, how is the Special Administrative Zone government?"

The camera switched, Lelouch's army repelled the Britannian Empire's forces, and he walked towards the crowd amidst their cheers.

"All the people who have been oppressed by Britannia, I have been waiting for an opportunity," Lelouch began his speech.

"I have been constantly trying to correct Britannia's mistakes in secret, waiting for them to reflect on themselves. But they responded to our atrocities with slaughter."

Xue Zhiyong's breathing was trembling.

He knew that Lelouch's actions were right. In the story, this was already the best choice Lelouch could make, but what about Euphemia?

"Everyone in Area 11, are you happy?" Euphemia looked expectantly at Suzaku, her knight, in front of her hospital bed. Her voice was weak but strong.

"Did I succeed?"

"Go to hell, Euphemia."

"Death to Britannia."

The people began to despise Euphemia, began to hate her and the country she represented.

"The Special Administrative Zone government, a great success," Suzaku said with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what was happening, but he understood that Euphemia hadn't changed, that the order must have been Zero's doing.

"That's great." Euphemia's strength was drained in an instant, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

On the other side, Lelouch began to incite the masses, began to build a country, and took the opportunity to give his final speech to legitimize his Black Knights as the ruling force.

"I, can't see your face," Euphemia finally held Suzaku's hand, and the light in her eyes began to fade.

Xue Zhiyong sniffed and realized that he already had tears in the corners of his eyes.

He couldn't stand this kind of plot.

She was clearly the best person in the whole work, but she got the worst ending in the whole work.
