I'm glad that this story received so much positive attention.
I have seen the reviews and am disappointed to tell you that some of your hopes will not be coming true, as I do plan ahead somewhat, and just write by the seat of my pants.
Suzaku will not be in this story, but geass will.
And I think you will either love or hate how I use Marieanne.
Tohsaka Manor
Tokiomi Tohsaka seemed very displeased at his student having summoned a Britannian Empress, especially a Vi Britannia. Of course other than prejudices, Tokiomi also disliked what he couldn't understand. Like how could a heroic spirit consciously hijack a summoning ritual, and get summoned as a class that as far as he knew, they shouldn't be summoned by. If he was expecting a class for the legendary Marianne the Flash, it would be the Rider class. When he and Kirei confronted her about this issue, she explained to them that she did in fact spend over 20 years as an agent for the emperor, and performed many an assasination.
As the magus prepared to summon his own servant, he hoped that a similar event would not happen, and interfere with his attempt to summon Gilgamesh, the legendary king of heroes. As he stood in front of his summoning ritual, he couldn't help but give a nervous glance towards assassin, who stood across the room from him alongside Kirei and Risei Kotominei. There was something off about the former knight that his apprentice had summoned, something that unnerved him. His suspicion only increased when she demanded that she be present for the summoning ritual, stating that she needed to know what she was working with.
"Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.

- I announce.
Your self is under me, my fate(doom)is in your sword.
In accordance with the resort of the holy grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all of the evil of the world of the dead.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the rings of detterrance, O keeper of balance -!"
There was a large burst of mist accompanied by a flash of blue light. As the mist was dissipating, the three magi and servant saw the figure. He was a very regal man donning shining golden armour with hair to match. His eyes were red as blood, making him seem even more striking against the rest of his color scheme. He stood around 5'10 and possessed an aura of royalty and command.
"I am the servant archer, are you my summoner." He stared at Tokiomi with cold indifference. "Why yes I am." He responded, not missing a beat. "And tell me, which servant dares to be present for my summoning, and look upon my regal self?!" He exclaimed, casting an angry glare at assassin. She took it in stride. "I am Empress Marianne Vi Britannia of the Holy Britannian Empire. Former Knight of the Round. I am here to give you extra, but surely unnecessary, support in my role as the servant assassin during this Holy Grail War." She replied with a curtsy. "You claim you are an Empress, yet you are willing to serve me so easily." Responded the king of heroes with a smug smirk on his face. "I was an empress-consort, who spent her life slaughtering the enemies of those she sees as her Emperor. I would be hard pressed to find joy in anything else." Gilgamesh let out a hearty laugh. "You certainly have a way with words assassin. I'm surprisingly looking forward to seeing your craft.". Assassin gave another curtsy. "You flatter me, king of heroes."
Archer turned back towards Tokiomi. "I certainly hope you have a fine collection of wine." The magus gave a bow. "We have the finest for you, my king." His suspicion of assassin slightly relieving. He detected no lies within her speech, and everything she said lined up with his research on her. However, he did not expect for a second which emperor it was that she truly served.

Fuyuki Airport
A plane from the city of Pendragon flew in to the airfields of the Fuyuki Airport. As two passengers got off the plane, Lelouch Vi Britannia, wearing sunglasses, and his daughter Liliana. Lelouch turned to his companion. "Liliana, there is a servant inside the airport." The pair did not falter at all. "Let us go see if they're by their master." Replied Liliana.
When they left the terminal and went past the security checkpoints. Lelouch quickly pointed out the servant to his daughter. The servant was a blonde woman with short hair and emerald green eyes, she was wearing the suit of a bodyguard and looked at everything suspiciously. Next to her was an Albino woman wearing a white fur coat and white fur hat. She was staring at everything around her with wonder. However she did not possess command seals on her hand, so she was likely a decoy.
The Vi Britannia's took this opportunity regardless. Lelouch put on a smirk, albeit a less evil one, as he walked up to the albino woman to enact a plan they came up with. "Well hello there hot stuff, how are you doing." The subject of my flirting gave an inquisitive turn of her head while the servant glared at me angrily, not as focused on her surroundings. From four feet behind her, Liliana activated her geass, making sure only the servant was in range.
The servant doubled over and clutched her temples, her mind erupting into pain from the effect of Liliana's geass, the ward of absolute pain. "SABER!" Cried out the albino girl, as she turned towards her servant. Lelouch had confirmed that geass works against servants, even against the saber class, famous for it's magic resistance. Lelouch quickly took off his sunglasses, showing purple orbs underneath, before putting on a face that was combination shock and concern. "Concentrate on my voice." Lelouch said in a calm and commanding tone as he knelt down, putting his head at her level, and placed his hand upon her shoulders. Liliana weakened the effect of her geass, making it seem as if whatever he was doing was working. Lelouch held up his right palm towards the fur covered mage to signal her to back off, which she reluctantly did.
"Calm down and look me in the eye." Lelouch once again commanded her in his psychologist tone. Saber, too busy recovering from the pain to resist, looked into his eyes just comprehending the glowing avian sigil as it took its effect upon her. This time when Lelouch spoke, he whispered quietly so as to not be overheard. "Whenever you hear me say 'Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you' you will obey my every command, when you hear me say 'Lelouch Vi Britannia releases you' you will return back to your normal state. In a few seconds, you will tell your companion that you are fine, that she shouldn't worry about it, and ask her to promise to not tell anyone." Saber nodded in confirmation.
Lelouch stood back up, putting on his sunglasses, Saber following almost immediately. "Are you alright Saber, should I call Kiritsugu." Saber shook her head. "I'm fine Irisviel, you don't have to worry about it." Irisviel pressed on. "I should at least call Kiritsugu." Saber put on a slightly sheepish face. "I'm actually wondering if you could promise not to tell Kiritsugu, or anyone else for that matter." At this Irisviel seemed amused. "All right just between us." Then the two seemed to remember that someone was in front of them the whole time. "Look I'm sorry for bothering you, if you would like I have some meds meant for headaches in my bag, actually nevermind, I don't know what prescription I should give you." Irisviel stopped him. "We appreciate the concern, but we have wasted enough of your time here today." She told him with an honest smile. "My name is Lelouch, it was nice to meet you here Irisviel." He turned to the servant. "You as well Saber, kind of an odd name but who am I to judge." He said with a shrug. "Have a good day, I hope to see you again." After Irsiviel and Saber then left, Liliana walked up to her father. "Did everything go as planned." He gave her a smirk. "Our first knight is in position." Liliana let out a giggle before giving her father a big hug, one that he returned with an added warm content smile. 'I swear to you Liliana, I will never abandon you again.'
