In the dim warehouse, Euphemia felt that Zhang Yu's cloak looked extremely warm.

Mr. Yu may be quite good to become my knight.

Euphemia thought to herself at this moment.

From the eyes of others, this may be a very beautiful scene. The girl who is no longer confused describes her dream and pursues her dream.

Wishes are very simple and beautiful, and the human heart is also very pure.

However, there is also a layer of uneasiness in this.

She seemed to be a little too anxious.

She has not survived alone until now. In addition to mutual trust, there are many people supporting her. But for her now, how should she treat those people?

Do those people really think her decision is correct?

Lelouch was still thinking about the consequences of this matter.

Although Euphemia's idea of ​​"Administrative Region. Japan" was just her simple idea, if it was really implemented, it would be the first attempt of the British Empire, but there is no precedent in other countries.

For example, the autonomous prefecture of the Federation of China. Except for the emperor who is the lord, the other people of the Federation of China are all equal on the surface. Although it is different from Britain and is a country without aristocratic class, it has problems with ethnic composition.

There is an autonomous government in the ethnic minority settlement area in its country, which governs the people by the highest-ranking emperor. People in the state can use their own ethnic names, and the autonomous government can also eliminate interference from the central government to a certain extent.

To put it further, although the establishment process is completely different, the common parts of EU can be found in the EU, a great power that matches the Chinese Federation. EU was originally a consortium of some countries. Even after each country was collectively called a member of the EU, they did not completely give up their country name and border lines.

But if you compare the SAR and Japan with those administrative systems, you will find that the SAR and Japan's conception appears to be very fragile in terms of democracy and national self-determination.

Take the EU as an example. Although there are actually gaps in economic and military power among the countries within the EU, the authority of each country is formally equal. The relationship between the Special Administrative Region and Japan and the British Empire is obviously not like that.

Whether in form or in reality, the Special Administrative Region. Japan is only a region that implements special administrative policies, and its positioning is always the territory of the British Empire. In the autonomous prefectures of the Federation of China, there is an autonomous prefecture government composed of representatives elected by votes within the autonomous prefectures.

However, although Japan has a government in the SAR, there is no qualified government. The chief official of the government was initially decided to be the proposer of the SAR - Euphemia L. Britain. Even from this point of view, Japan should not be considered autonomous.

In other words, it is not Japan ruled by the Japanese, but Japan ruled by Britain. In form, it also has the same view as the current regional system. Even if it is truly announced, many Japanese people will definitely express doubts about this.

However, considering Britain's tough colonial policy so far, this can be said to be a progress for those who are obsessed with the name of Japan, and it is undoubtedly a concession won from the British side. As Euphemia himself said, this Special Administrative Region proposal is regarded as the initial opportunity.

Moreover, since Euphemia, who is at the center of the administration, announced that all oppression and discrimination against the Japanese would be abolished, then the people who were suffering from the support of the British colonists would naturally support this idea.

One of the reasons for that situation should of course include the image of "the British princess who does not discriminate against the Japanese" established by Euphemia so far.

After a short silence, Euphemia's tightly closed pink lips slowly opened.

"Lelouch, I plan to use the imperial book to return the privileges."

Lelouch looked at Euphemia in shock, and Zhang Yu also looked at Euphemia in confusion. Although he did not know what it means to return the privilege of the imperial family, it was literally a return of the privilege of the imperial family.

Lelouch's eyes widened and he opened his mouth wide to Euphemia. He knew that the royal family had returned the privileges. Although he did not value this, this was a very important thing for Euphemia.

"What did you say?! Why did you do this?"

Euphemia finally came back to her senses from the excitement just now, but even so she was still Lelouch's eyes.

However, since it was the words she had already said, it could no longer be changed. Euphemia stared at Lelouch in front of her with a serious expression and said sternly.

"I intend to submit an application to my country for the use of royal family and privileges."

Although this is a privilege, it should actually be said to be a substitute for punishment.

Originally, in the Holy British Empire, there was no such punishment as death penalty or life imprisonment for royal families with the right to inherit the throne.

Because in the ancient British Kingdom, the law established to ensure the majesty of the royal family like gods, has been used until now. But even so, in history, it is not to say that the royal family members who have committed serious crimes at all.

This is true in any authoritarian country, and no one can guarantee that everyone in the ruling class is a very wise ruler. In fact, cruel and dark struggles often occur within the ruling class.

Moreover, since ancient times, the royal family has had many close relatives, which has caused mental illness and often hurt the royal family members of other people around them. Therefore, at this time, the royal family members who committed the above crimes will be forced to use the royal family to return the privileges.

The criminal royal family membership was directly demoted from the royal family to the common people. In short, it was deprived of all the royal rights, which was offset by his crimes.

Of course, from the perspective of a democratic country, this privilege seems to be a bit unfair, but for a royal family in an authoritarian country, he enjoyed the royal family's treatment that thousands of people admired until yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, he became a commoner, and this punishment is still quite serious.

So far, many royal families who have been forced to use this privilege in British history have chosen to commit suicide because of their pessimism about the future.

For humans, if they cannot pursue things they have never obtained before, they will not feel disappointed, but if they are deprived of what they once had, they will not necessarily feel extremely desperate.

Of course, for a former royal family who has been forced to use privileges and becomes a civilian after becoming a civilian, if he commits a crime again, he will need to accept legal sanctions just like a civilian. In other words, the royal family repays privileges, which is the ace that can only be used once in a lifetime for the royal family.
