Summary: What if Cornelia decided to look for the Guren pilot? What if a picture was taken from Kaminejima Island of Kallen without her mask? Taken 3 days after Zero and Suzaku's team up. You know what I mean Code Geass fans!
Warning! The Lelouch in this story isn't the Lelouch in the series. The Lelouch here is the one from laz15bam's story, the Lost Souls. Hurray for Lost Souls!
Well then, let's get started!

The Prosecutor's Suspicion
.
Cornelia was walking in the corridor with Darlton, discussing the plan of her action concerning the red knightmare's pilot.
"Your majesty, are you sure that the pilot will be there?" Darlton asked. Cornelia looked at him. "Are you questioning me?" She asked as she raised her eyebrow.
"No of course not your highness. I was only wondering why a member of the Black Knights would be in a school. More so that it is Ashford Academy we are talking about."
"Darlton, you've seen half of her face. Those blue eyes are definitely Britannian. And the way she walks, she had class and etiquette. Elevens don't teach that to their children. Only Britannian nobles do." She said. "That is the reason why I am positive she is a Britannian. And according to her agility, she's a student." She added.
Darlton only nodded. "I have already lost three siblings because of Area 11. Euphie would have been the fourth if it wasn't for Kururugi. Although I still don't know what happened. I won't let Zero get away this time."
It was a good thing Guilford wasn't here because they were free to talk about them. "If Prince Lelouch was here, he would have laughed at you and tell you that you are being obsessive." Darlton said fondly.
Cornelia smiled a little. "Yeah, he would. And then he would tell me to cool off and persuade me to play chess with him and he'd win as always." She said.
"I sometimes wonder if he were still alive after the war, what position he would have." Darlton said thoughtfully. "If he were still alive, he would be a politician but at the same time, a commander. He'd have a position equal or at least almost as high as brother Schniezel." Princess Cornelia said. "And he would have been Area 11's ruler, not me."
Just then, Suzaku and Euphemia appeared from the other end of the hall. They were talking silently. The princess had her brows almost connecting, something that happened when she was thinking hard. Suzaku was on the other hand was looking at his hand. "Suzaku, you need to warn him." she said. Cornelia was about to ask what they were talking about when they spotted her. "Sister!" Euphie greeted. They walked over to her. Suzaku bowed to the two of them. "Your highness. Lord Darlton." He greeted then straightened up. "Euphie, what were you talking about?" she asked.
"Oh! It was nothing really. Just a problem with the cat I asked Suzaku to take care of." She said. Cornelia raised an eyebrow. "A cat?" she said. "Yeah. You see when I was roaming the city I saw an injured cat. I put a bandage on him and told Suzaku to take care of it for me." She said happily. Of course, Euphie's conscience was killing her. 'Just a little bit more.' She thought.
"Well then where's the cat?" she asked. Euphie looked at Suzaku. "Uhhh... well the Student Council of the Ashford Academy added Arthur with us. Madam Prez said that Arthur was our official cat now." He answered. "So you named a cat Arthur?" Cornelia asked.
"I wasn't the one who named it your highness. It was a friend of mine who liked cats even though he wouldn't say it." He said. Just then his phone rung. "Uhhh..." he said uncertainly.
"Well? Answer it. It's rude to let someone waiting on the phone." Cornelia said. "Yes your highness." And opened his phone. He looked at the caller's name. Lelouch.
Just as he was about to answer the phone, Euphie took it from him. "Suzaku! You shouldn't let someone wait!" she said and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"It's Princess Euphemia!" they heard from the other end of the phone. "Oh my. That would be Shirley. But why would she have his phone?" Suzaku asked himself loudly.
"You guys! Its princess Euphemia who answered the phone!" At this Euphie giggled. "Hello there. You're Suzaku's friends from the student council right?" she asked. "Yes your highness!" they answered together. Just then they heard another voice. This one sounded irritated and angry.
"What the heck? Will you all stop shouting! I'm trying to sleep for heaven's sake! Kallen! Get the damn phone from them!" the voice ordered sternly. They heard a lot of protests but then it actually came to silence.
Then they heard a voice of a man. "Princess Euphemia, I deeply apologize for their disrespect for you." On the other line, Lelouch was glaring at them. "It's alright, L.L. How's the gambling going? Any nobles bankrupt yet?" Euphie asked knowing full well who it was due to the fact that she recognized that commanding voice.
Cornelia on the other hand was confused. Who could have ordered all of them to be quiet just like that? That guy must have been respected in the whole school considering it was the student council who he had ordered.
Suzaku on the other hand was thinking. 'So Kallen's already back? I wonder what she's going to do.'
"Merely. I haven't been going out for a while. You know how busy I am right now after that incident." Euphie frowned. "Are you alright then? You have a knack for over planning things that you don't get enough rest."
"Hmm? Yes of course I'm alright. Mentally and physically as you put it." He replied. "That's great then!"
"I heard you're the one taking care of Arthur." Euphie said. "You know Arthur?" he asked. "Yeah I do. I kind of told Suzaku to take care of him for me. But because of me and the military he doesn't have the time. So thank you for taking care of him!" she said. "I'm not the one who's taking care of him. The student council is." Lelouch replied. "Don't try to fool me. I know it's you. Suzaku told me so. You still like cats." She said teasingly.
"Euphie, can you put the phone in loud speaker please?" He asked. "Of course." And pressed a button. "There! All done!" she declared. "Suzaku." Lelouch said.
"Yes vice chairman?" Suzaku said carefully. "You're going to kill me aren't you?" he asked. Of course Lelouch ignored his question. "Suzaku, my sister said you need to come over for dinner here with us whether you like it or not. Princess Euphie, you can come if you want but please don't bring any bodyguards. This place is already full of bodyguards and I don't want any more additions. After dinner Suzaku," he paused. "I will kill you."
Suzaku gulped. "Uhm... Can you just torture me later? I really don't want to die right now. And besides if you kill me, you'll have to clean the blood off your carpet. And then it'll become troublesome for you." Suzaku said uncertainly.
"Alright. Torturing you is more fun anyway. I can inflict more pain on you if I keep you alive than if you're dead." He said darkly. "Don't talk to Suzaku like that! He's not your slave!" Euphie protested. Cornelia only continued to watch the peculiar scene before them. "So are you coming to join us for dinner then?" he asked.
"Yes! I'd love to!" she said. "Then I'll see you later." He said. "Alright! Good bye!" she said and closed the phone. "Sister, I'm allowed right? Please! There are a lot of guards guarding his place so I'll be safe!" she pleaded to her sister. Cornelia looked at Suzaku who was as stiff and as pale as a wall. "Kururugi is that man really that scary that even you are affected by mere words?" she asked. "It's not that your highness. The vice president doesn't inflict pain physically. He does it mentally." He said. "Is everyone scared of him?"
"Not everyone knows his demonic side. The students think of him as the school's prince since everyone is so into him. He can even make guys turn homo." He said and regretted the last sentence. "Please ignore the last sentence!" but it was already too late.
"He's that handsome? Then it's a miracle you're not gay?" she asked.
Suzaku blushed then laughed. "No it's not a miracle your highness. He and I have been friends for so long I'm not affected by his charms. Well... the puppy dog face is an exception." He said. "Is the place as guarded as he said it was?" Cornelia asked. Suzaku shook his head. "No. It's worse than that. He has ninjas under his command roaming around his house 24/7 so silently you wouldn't notice them unless you go to the kitchen at midnight and you see some of them reporting to him and get attacked because they thought you were an intruder."
"He has ninjas?" Darlton asked in disbelief. "Well yes. They are all loyal to him though because they were-" he didn't continue. "They were what?" Cornelia pressed.
"Well nobody was supposed to tell this but they were all under Prince Lelouch's command when he was still alive so when he died, they felt that they should all serve a master who was a friend of Lelouch's and was trusted by all of his secrets. Since they didn't know who I was when we were little, they went with the vice chairman." He said.
Cornelia felt intrigued due to the fact that this vice chairman was a friend of her deceased brother. But she didn't want to let them know.
"Well we can talk about him when we arrive at the school. I've arranged a meeting with them you see." Cornelia said as she walked to the foyer of the manor. "You two might as well come with us." She said. The two gulped as they followed the viceroy into the car and got in.
[End of Chapter]
Uhhh... yeah I know. It's messy and idiotic. But the exciting part is in chapter two which will be updated next week. I don't know if it's on the same day but maybe a little earlier than this one did. It's because I'm also writing my other fanfics and it really is hard to think of one story after the other and then write it. It gets really jumbled up in my mind. Just like what happened while I was writing move 8 of my fanfic entitled 'Two Sides of the Same Truth'. I had just finished writing my Naruto fic and stated writing move 8. While writing I accidentally typed 5 whole paragraphs for the Naruto fic I just wrote. So I had to erase and write and erase and write again for the next 20 minutes because I had to think of a good way to tell Gino's point of view. Yes I am a klutz.
Did you like it guys? Please review and tell me what you think! Oh yeah. I just really want to thank laz15bam for lending me his Lelouch! Thank you so much!
See you in the next chapter!
