Chapter 396.1: Captive Lightning Emperor
Code’s First Area is a large area stretching from the city’s center. While in his castle in the residence that exists in the most prosperous area of the city, I, Angus Code snort at Jin’s report.
“So the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 will fall into Nora’s hands after all.” (Angus)
“There is no doubt about it. After all, there are no other candidates to rival her. Nora-ojou is known for her harsh sanctions on her opponents.” (Jin)
Nora Code. That is the name of my Imouto who could be my greatest enemy in the battle for the throne.
She is an arrogant and violent woman who is used to wield her royal authority with impunity. She is an intolerable woman who disapproves of being under someone and openly declares her hostility towards me.
I have been gathering strong soldiers from all over the world for some time in preparation for the succession to the throne. Nora has also been preparing for the battle for the throne, but her approach is the complete opposite of mine. That woman decided not to recruit soldiers from outside, but to train them herself. After analyzing and experimenting with the countless training functions that exist within Code, her finished soldiers boast abilities equal to or greater than those of the mechanized soldiers despite being former citizens of Code.
I am the one who led the plan to send cards to each organization outside of Code to replenish the troops. That is why I was the first to take Saaya and Kai. However, in terms of authority over the prison, Nora and I are almost equal. No, actually, Nora Code’s authority may be slightly more effective than mine.
However, even if that is not the case, I cannot think of any way to control the dangerous 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》.
The masks have already been used on Kai and Saaya, so those are already not an option anymore. It would be very dangerous to have the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 under my wing without it. Code has a function to disperse the constructions of Magic, but it is unknown whether it will be able to completely seal off a user of Lightning Magic that is strong enough to penetrate Code’s barrier. In fact, there is a record that the Magic of the strongest Magi on the enemy side could not be completely sealed off the last time Code fought the Explorer Association.
