Marcus' gaze scanned the layout of the Britannian Empire and the military deployments.
'This is basically what we have predicted it's going to look like.'
He realised that his AI had been predicting with a considerably high percentage. But that's most likely because he has been feeding it Satellite footage.
"We are going to spread out the old Empire into three sectors for now. Cornelia, Tohdoh and Xingke will be responsible for absorbing the remnant forces." With several hand motions, he adjusted the Britannia into three sectors.
After a bit more talking, his sister changed the subject.
"Umm… there is someone who wants to meet you." Marrybell changed the theme of the conversation.
"Hmm? Who?" He looked away from the 'tactical table' and looked at her.
"Rakshata Chawla. She was the one who created Zakus, the Britannian Mobile suit that assisted us in the war against you."
"Hmm, so that's her." Leila's eyes widened for a second. It would seem they had someone good to assist in the war.
No wonder there was already a mech that could keep up with Setanta in some way.
"Yes. She is a generation genius. She could assist you in your space endeavours, brother." Marrybell said with a small smile.
"I see, I guess I will extend my invitation to her. My science crew always looks for talented people." He stroked his chin, pondering where he could assign her.
"Great." She nodded before her, then her expression morphed into a serious one.
"There is one more thing that I want to ask."
"What is my dear sister?" He smiled at her, making her blush a bit. She looked away for a second, thinking how to word it.
"...Could I possibly skim through Sacred Intelligence Bureau files?" She asked with a hopeful tone.
Marcus got serious as well.
"It's not them that you should be looking at." He sighed before explaining to her.
"It's Files on V.V., our uncle, who was responsible for the Geass Order and Secret Intelligence of Britannia."
"...S-So you know!" Marrybell's eyes glistered with hope.
"Yes. But I am not 100%. We need to access those files to confirm."
"T-Then you should let me check them." She was getting impatient.
This was where Marcus motioned for her to calm down.
"Take a breather, sister, we shall. But recklessly checking is not the way. You can take days to figure out such things."
She frowned as she listened to what he was saying.
"I shall make a task force with my engineering corps."
"Engineering?" The brown haired princess looked confused for a bit. What is he talking about?
"Integration of my Legion AI into the Britannian system. You will have Artificial intelligence helping you to find clues."
"...I see… but… where is this uncle of ours?"
"Less than a corpse." Leila chipped in from the side with crossed arms.
"..Less than a corpse?" The pair of girls repeated what the blonde said. Even Marrybell's Knight was confused.
"We used tactical Orbital Bombardment in a desert," Leila said while looking at her boyfriend.
"...Oh…that crater… but it was in the desert… how did our mysterious uncle get there?"
"Thought Elevators. They work similarly to portals." Marcus explained as he altered the hologram, showing a lean wall with carvings.
"This… is a portal?" Marrybell could believe that a strange stone wall can teleport people!
"Believe me, it is." As proof, he showed her what he found at the South Pole.
In the frozen lands of Antarctica, in the greatest wasteland in the world. There was an excavated hole containing a city of sorts.
"This is… what brother Schneizel said!" The Princess exclaimed! This was what her brother and father were complaining about! About some sort of city in the South Pole that Marcus was excavating!
"Oh, so he knew?" Marcus perked up.
"He learned from our father." His Imperial sister swiftly explained to him what she meant.
"Of course it was our old man." The Emperor-To-Be sighed. In the end, Charles was the one who played him; even when he had much greater force in the end, he made him inherit the Empire he hated.
Well, not that Britannia will exist for long. Though… the Throne in one form or another will continue to exist.
"So what is this city anyway?" Marrybell asked with deep curiosity.
"Well…"
Marcus and Leila began to explain about the cycles of civilisation and how long humanity could have been around.
Not only do those arches lead to completely different worlds.
"..."
"..."
Oldrin and Marrybell stared with blank looks for a second.
"...What…"
"...Is it true?"
The pair asked, more like wanted to make sure they were on the same page.
"I know it sounds crazy, but I was there, and we have a Witch who can see visions. Those carvings on pyramids were done by Code wielders from many years ago." Leila knew that look the pair had. It was disbelief.
"...So what are you planning to do with such a discovery?" The Imperial Princess asked, but the look he had made it clear… he was Charles Zi Britannia's son after all.
Spreading the territory of his Empire is in his blood!
~~~
After reconnecting with one of his sisters, he created a task force with her at the helm to discover all of the dirt on V.V.
It was more or less to help her get over it.
"In the end, you are a good brother." Leila was there the whole time, watching him interact with Marrybell.
"Where does that come from?" Marcus, who was looking at the world map, turned his gaze to her.
"Nothing~." She smiled while looking away for a second. She then got a bit more serious.
"You do realise that this isn't over. The world hates Britannia, and you just became its Emperor. To some… they saw it as betrayal." She explained with a serious tone.
"I know. I already have a road map for it."
He showed her what he was working on. Now that the 3rd generation is here. The other Gundam work went to Lloyd and Cecile.
Instead, he was working on a bit more… mundane things this time around.
Like integrating Britannia into Anaheim.
"Simply put, I am changing policies, introducing meritocracy, and altering how land is being given. Now that the rebelling nobles are dead, I am taking their lands and wealth.
I am showing that they are touchable." He explained to her.
"Obviously, corruption and nepotism will be an issue, especially at the scale our glorious nation will be.
But this is where technology comes to play."
Marcus showcases some of the AI technologies that will assist and point out cases of nepotism and corruption in his systems.
The good thing about Anaheim is that it is from the ground up, around its essential systems.
Like Legion OS and the AI behind it, most of the information is virtual and is locked behind in the core data centre in Solomon Base.
Eventually, he plans to store it away on one of his planets, which he intends to dedicate to this purpose.
The thing about Anaheim's Colony construction is that he can build them anywhere.
So living on planets is not that important.
Well, eventually people will, but for now, he is making his Home Solar System into a 'Capital' system.
That includes 'essentials' one would have in their capital city.
Energy, data centres, information network, fuel storage, large robotic force, shipyards and barracks, all of that.
"You will leave AI to deal with Nepotism and Corruption?" Leila wasn't sure this was a great idea.
"No, I will use AI to highlight it, and then there will be a council, or… if we are being dramatic… You can call it the Inquisition. I do have siblings who are good at this." He immediately thought of Marrybell… that girl is hardcore, he can use that Zeal for good. Same with Oldrin, that girl is a real knight, those work in this situation as well.
"I see… I suppose, like always, you have thought of this." She smiled a bit, making her calm down.
"You don't say, Leila. I have been planning galaxy domination since I was exiled– relocated to Japan." He corrected himself, since according to his old man, he was not exiled but 'relocated', one could say his old man used his own words against him.
The blonde deadpanned at the comment.
"I suppose it makes sense, regular… 'villains'..." She highlighted 'villains' with her fingers, in other words, air-quoted. "Usually, they only desire world domination, but you decided that dominating the world is… basically lame, so you went with the galaxy instead.
Is this right?" She explained to him how he was thinking.
"Indeed, precisely, that is why you, my dear, are going to be an Empress."
The moment he mentioned that, it made her scowl and pout while looking away.
"Is that so?" Leila crossed her hands. "Then somehow, the girl you spend much less time with is getting it better?" She asked him.
He looked a bit surprised, then got closer and whispered into her ear.
"Are you jealous of your best friend?" The Emperor-To-Be asked with a curious tone.
Leila looked away. There was a bit of an annoyed expression on her face.
"Why shouldn't I be?" She replied with a question of her own.
"Hmm…"
He grabbed her hand and took her away.
"...W-What are you–"
Marcus took her out of his workshop and into one of the side rooms. It was something akin to a relaxation room. The whole Palace is full of rooms and sub-rooms, and even his workshop has that.
"Isn't it obvious? I am going to make you… un-jealous." He pinned her against the wall.
Leila looked a bit baffled before looking around.
"...Isn't this place…"
Before she could complain, he leaned forward and started a kiss. Her eyes widened for a second before she kissed him back, and her hands wrapped around his neck.
Soon enough, she was eagerly kissing him back. Like he was expecting, the switch was flipped very quickly.
It would seem she had her competitive spirit ignited with Anna's pregnancy; now Leila wants it, no doubt Kallen is the same, as she had that serious look.
The sloppy kiss escalated as Marcus's hands went lower and sneaked under her skirt. On Earth, she is wearing a black skirt, and in this situation, it makes it easy for him to 'access' her.
His hands squeezed her rear, making Leila gasp a bit. She pulled back and looked at him.
"Well~~~ show me~~~ how you are planning to fix… this situation." The blonde asked with a hot voice.
The Emperor-To-Be smirked as his left hand went to her right leg and grabbed it before picking it up.
When he lifted her skirt, he noticed red sexy panties. The girl was already ready for this kind of situation.
"I should have done something like this earlier." He joked, making her embarrassed.
"S-Shut up…" She pouted
Instead of saying anything, his other hand went to his pants. With a swift motion, he pulled out his hardening rod and brought it closer to her special place.
Leila watched closely as his cock brushed against her pussy, which was covered with her red panties.
The length of his rod stroked through her entrances, her breath hitched as the blonde beauty gasped.
"...E-Enough… just put already~~~" His darling complained.
Marcus smirked as he pushed her panties aside and slipped in.
"Mhhnnn~~~"
The girl immediately moaned as she could not believe how naughty she was feeling!
With a heavy smack, he was fully inside of her as she was very wet!
"Someone is naughty~~" He leaned forward and whispered into her ear.
"S-Shut up~~~ now… fuck me~~~" The girl hotly demanded as she wrapped herself around him.
The Emperor-To-Be smirked as he decided to fulfil her request.
Before long, muffled moans and sounds of coupling spread through the side room in the Palace.
Thankfully, not everyone has the balls to enter the Next Emperor's private workshop…
