The truth was their story was nothing else than a chess game. A stupid, risky, exciting chess game.

And Lelouch was the king.

He was the leader, the one who played the game, but still he was also a piece of the set. "If the king doesn't lead the charge, his men won't follow".

Idiot. He died for that.

Then there was the queen, C.C.

He really couldn't think of any other person so brilliantly fit for that role.

She, with her posh behaviour and her immortal life, was able to move in every direction, was their winning card, kept up their sleeve.

The others were only pawns, used to conquer peace, to reach that ideal situation that allowed the ones who remained to live a quiet, calm life.

But...

Who was he? Which part did he play in Lelouch's plan?

He always thought he was only a pawn, too, a tiny, insignificant pawn. Afterall, both the Empire and Lelouch seemed ready to get rid of him once he had became useless.

So he asked the king."What am I to you?"

"You are my knight. You can dodge every enemy elegantly, jump over any dangers. You can push yourself further and further away from me, but you will always be by my side."

Afterall, he decided, he didn't mind being only a tool if the one he served was Lelouch.
