Festivities
The air in the Chinese embassy was filled with cheers as the newly freed Black Knights partied and talked about what happened, what is to come, and what they hope to do. "Hey, where's Kallen and Karren?" Tamaki asked after searching the crowd 5 times for them.
"I don't know, I expected Kallen would be out here by now. You think they are still talking to Zero?" Ohgi replied looking through the crowd of black knights as well. Sure enough kallen walked out of the building to their left and immediately turned towards the container where the Black Knights were retrieving uniforms. She was still in her pilot suit and didn't seem the least bit happy with the celebrating Black Knights, she looked somewhat depressed and confused.
"Hey Kallen!" Ohgi said running over to her. She noticed and turned to wave. "Hey Kallen where were you, the parties already started." Ohgi said as Tamaki strolled in behind him.
"Yah whats up?" Tamaki asked. She looked at them for a second then faced back towards the container.
"It was nothing, Karren's going to be in the Black Knights, and since we didn't know much about her he had to do a long background check" Kallen replied while grabbing two Black Knights uniforms.
"Oh what did you find out?" Ohgi asked.
"Yah what's the new chicks story?" Tamaki added. Remembering that Tamaki normally flirted with the new recruits kallen decided to end the conversation.
"It's not for me to tell, ask her about it. Oh and Tamaki I swear if you hit on her you WILL end up in the hospital!" Kallen said a little angered as she walked away. "I'll be damned if I let Tamaki flirt with a look alike of me. It's would be just so… creepy" she thought in her head as a shiver went up her spin.
Karren showered the heat and the stream soothing making her relax. "What a joy to be free" She said to herself thinking of what she has been through for the past year. "What about the future?" she thought for the first time in a while. She was with her technical parents and they understood her position, well she hoped. Lelouch was fine but Kallen looked ready to pass out.
"Just got to give them time" she told herself as she turned off the water. She grabbed her towel and walked out only to find Kallen at the door in a Black knights uniform with another in her hand looking at the ground.
"Hey Kallen" Karren said being simple. Kallen's head jerked up in surprise. Obviously not paying attention in the slightest. "Something on your mind?" Karren asked being friendly but then thought about it. She was almost certain she was about to face-palm herself.
"Yah but we can deal with that later." Kallen said quickly which surprised her. Karren looked at her again then noticed the uniform she was holding.
"Is that for me?" She asked trying to drive the conversation towards something less awkward. "Oh this yah" Kallen answered quickly handing her the black uniform.
"Thanks that gaurds uniform was getting annoying" Karren said grabbing the uniform and turning away to see a pink bunny suit in the basket.
"What's that?" Karren asked deep in confusion. Kallen blushed a red equal to her hair. She grabbed the pink suit and rushed out the door. "Um what was that about?" Karren said to herself as she started to change.
Kallen burst through the door, pink suit in hand screaming "C.C wouldn't it have made more sense for you to have been the bunny girl!" Lelouch and C.C both looked at her impassive on the subject.
"Maybe, but you were so eager to see Lelouch I didn't see the point." C.C scoffed with a smirk. Kallen gained a new shade of red at that and looked ready to all out tackle her.
"I appreciate what you did for me Kallen" Lelouch said trying to lighten the mood. "But we have more pressing matters to attend to"
"Um right" Kallen replied with the blush slowly fading.
"How is Karren settling in?" Lelouch asked. Kallen seemed a little angered by everyone asking about her.
"She's fine" Kallen answered in an unprofessional manner. "Am I jealous?" she thought to herself realizing what she was doing.
"See to it she does settle in, she going to be under your supervision" Lelouch said resting his head on his hands.
"Wait? What?" Kallen asked deeply confused.
"She will be second in command of the Zero Squad, so it's up to you to watch out for her." Lelouch said still impassively.
Kallen was about to remark that she wasn't a babysitter but realized the girl was a good pilot so the Zero Squad would make sense and with her geass that only herself, Lelouch and C.C knew about, they needed someone to pay attention if she uses it for anything not worth it.
"I understand" Kallen said simply back to being professional.
"Good see to it she feels welcomed. No doubt living as a test subject her whole life will have unwanted effects." Lelouch stated turning around towards the monitor behind him of videos of the ongoing party.
Kallen thought about it and felt sad. Karren didn't have anybody before and now Kallens being a jerk towards her. "I'll go check up on her" Kallen said eager to apologize. As she turned away Lelouch spoke again
"I'm counting on you" was all Kallen heard as the door closed behind her.
Karren liked the uniform, "maybe black was her favorite color" she thought. After all she has black hair, a black knightmare, stole black guards uniform, and now she's part of the Black Knights. She smiled at the coincidences as she exited the building going to the party.
She stayed on the porch for a while studying everyone, they all looked so happy despite Britannia surrounding them. She guessed it was because for the first time in a long while they feel free. She supposed it was the same to her, not being tested upon and actually having a somewhat social life. She smiled as she activated her geass of mind reading. She scanned the crowd and everyone was bustling with joy. It kind of rubbed off on her. Why shouldn't she have fun like the rest of them? Her stomach growled and figured food comes first.
She walked out through the crowd not noticing a few stares people gave her. She reached the large table and saw it loaded with food and drinks. She looked to her right and saw someone eating what looked like a cheese covered triangle. She looked in front of her and saw some. She picked up a slice careful not to drop the greasy thing and took a bite. Her taste buds became flooded and she quickly devoured it. "Best food ever!" she thought as she began devouring another slice.
As she began on her third she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Hey calm down, the pizzas not going anywhere" Ohgi said. Karren turned around and Ohgi looked like he jumped out of his skin.
"Kallen?" He said noticing all the similarities.
"This hair style is going to be a probem." She thought knowing what was going on. "No, I'm Karren" She said simple as she munched another large bite from the pizza.
He noticed her eyes were amethyst and the hair wasn't died. "Sorry I didn't realize."
"Its fine, Kallen freaked out to. She looked about ready to shoot me." Karren finished while laughing on the inside about Kallen wanting to shoot her.
"So where you from?" Ohgi asked completely curious about the girl looking like his best friends sister.
"Area 8. But my parents are from here" Karren asked eating her pizza slowly now.
"That's a long ways away, why did you decide to come here? To join the Black knights?" Ohgi asked.
"Because Britannia is evil, and the Black Knights are a symbol of justice." Karren replied hoping it didn't sound corny.
"Yah, after the Black Rebellion things looked pretty bad, but with Zero I know we can make miracle happen." Ohgi said leaning on the table. She was a little shocked by his remark. It didn't sound corny, it sounded like he really believed it. She stood in silence for a moment until Tamaki came over as well.
"Hey Ohgi who's the new….." Tamaki said before noticing the striking similarity like Ohgi had.
"I'm Karren" She said before getting back to her pizza, eager to avoid this conversation again.
Tamaki stood there looking at her head to toe. She thought for a second he was checking her out before Ohgi spoke again. "Hey remember what Kallen said, don't try anything Tamaki."
"Right…" Tamaki said grumbling before turning and walking away.
"Kallen is helping me?" Karren thought surprised since she's been mainly hostile.
"Anyway… Is there anything that you need?" Ohgi asked after finding nothing else to ask.
"No, I'm good. Just have to wait for Zero to give me my new orders." Karren said as she finished her third pizza.
"Ok, well good luck." Was all he said as he walked away.
"Interesting guy" She thought before walking through the crowd looking for something to do.
The crowds of Black Knights continued to celebrate their new freedom as he skies grew darker. "Hmmm. I see, and you say Urebe died well?" asked Tohdoh concerned about the fate of one of his friends and comrade.
"Yes" Kallen spoke simply while tilting her dead down looking into the small pond in front of her.
Chiba stood several yards away simply staring at Tohdoh with sad eyes. "You should just confess already" Nagata asked walking up behind her.
She looked at him surprised by the comment and replied "just what do you mean by confess?"
"It's Zero!" Someone screamed out. A crowd started to gather around the porch where Lelouch stood in his purple Zero costume and helmet, waiting for everyone to gather.
Karren stood the closest leaning up against a pillar her left foot already on the step, ready to protect him if need be, but mainly just to get a front row seat to his performance. "Hold it, hold it." Chiba yelled while pushing her way through the dense crowd. Karren eyed her wondering if she was going to be trouble.
"While we appreciate you rescuing us Zero, we wouldn't have been captured in the first place if you didn't betray us the way you did." Chiba spat
"Don't you owe us an explanation?" Nagata asked behind her.
"And what explanation does he owe you?" Karren said walking up one step to see part way over the crowd. "He's alive and he came back for you so I don't think he betrayed you or owes you anything!" Karren spat obviously angered by the accusation of betrayal.
"And who the hell are you?" Chiba yelled back.
"Karren. Ace pilot of the Dark Gaurdian. The one who helped save you sorry ass!" Karren spat again. If she wasn't well known before she definitely was now.
"Stop it!" Tohdoh spoke walking up to the porch. "Zero, were your actions intended for giving us a chance at winning?" Tohdoh asked as he walked past Karren not giving her a second glance and standing at Zeros side.
"Everything is for a victory over Britannia." Zero replied not moving his head even in the slightest.
"I understand" Tohdoh finally said as he faced the crowd. Chiba flinched being surprised he would settle for an answer like that.
"At times our operations must be kept secret, right now we need to rely on his power. I can think of no one more capable than Zero to be our leader." Tohdoh spoke in a commanding voice.
"That's right we need him more than anything" Karren spoke while walking up the porch to stand at Zeros right side.
"I agree we should all trust Zero" Ohgi said taking his place next to Tohdoh.
"But Zero treated you as nothing more than a pawn." One black knight whispered.
"Who else do you think could have pulled this off!" Karren spoke. Kallen nodded her head in approval as she watched with interest. "Even the Chinese Federation isn't strong enough to wage war on Britannia. And the E.U. continues to lose to Schneizel. We are the Black Knights. We brought fear to the Empire like no other group, like no other nation. We need Zero, we need his guidance or all will be lost."
"Karrens right!" Tamaki yelled from inside the crowd. "Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero Zero, Zero," Soon the large group began chanting the same thing swallowing up the peaceful night.
C.C stood behind the large door near Zero listening to the entire speech. "She's good" she whispered softly as she walked away.
(The next day)
Karren walked along inside the Chinese Embassy looking for Lelouch but was unable to find him all morning. "Hey C.C have you seen Lelouch?" Karren asked as she peeked her head into her room to find C.C in a tan schoolgirl shirt with a skirt that looked too short to be legal.
"Um… What are you?" Karren began deeply confused why C.C would dress like that. C.C threw a paper ball at her, and then started putting on her shoes. Karren unfolded the paper and saw what it was.
Ashford Academy Knight of Seven Celebration Festival. World's Biggest Pizza here.
Karren was deeply confused until she noticed the World's Biggest Pizza part. "Will it taste even better than the one from the party?" Karren thought. "Can I come?" Karren asked in an excited voice.
C.C looked at her a moment then smiled "Sure" She replied with a devilish grin on her face.
"Great!" Karren yelled then bolted out the door to change into civilian clothing.
"This will be fun" C.C said as she was alone, thinking of the faces Lelouch and Kallen would have when they figure out what's she was doing.
"Ok ready." Karren said as she ran back in with a black top with a light gray jacket. Blue jeans and a jet black baseball cap on.
They headed out as Kallen saw them and instantly noticed C.C in an Ashford Academy uniform and recognized Karrens black hair pushed down from the cap. "What the hell?" She asked quietly to herself. She opened the door to C.C's room and saw on the nightstand a crumbled piece of paper that read Ashford Academy Knight of Seven Celebration Festival. World's Biggest Pizza here.
Kallen thought a moment then eyes grew huge. "Oh heck no!" She said as she bolted out the door to catch them, but was too late as the elevator leading to the underground passage started to lower. "C.C I swear I'll kill you a hundred times for this!" Kallen said as she repeatedly pressed the button for the elevator to return.
(Later at the Festival)
"Ok, well I'm going to go see what kind of mayhem I can cause. You can go have fun." C.C said as she walked away towards the crowd of students.
"Um ok?" Karren said. She guessed she could handle not getting captured, killed, or seen at a simple school so she walked off towards the booths for game and foods. She had enough money to at least have a fun time.
Karren managed to win a few games and got treats. She was having fun. She bumped into a tall blond guy and quickly apologized.
"Oh sorry about that." Karren said.
"Recorded" said a pink haired girl that was next to him. She looked over and saw that she had a picture taken of her.
"Um Why did you do that?" Karren asked deeply concerned her cover had just blew up in her face.
"Don't mind Anya, she does that to everything" The blonde guy said turning towards her.
"Recorded" Anya said as she took a picture of him.
"Oh I see. Well sorry for running into you." Karren said as she turned away.
"Hey hold up. Do you know where any fun things to do around here are? Me and Anya aren't used to these commoner schools. Im Gino by the way." Gino said with a smirk holding out his hand.
"Im Karren." She said as she reached and shook his hand smiling. "And im sorry. Im not really from here ether. I was looking for fun things to do to." She said apologetically.
"Oh well come on you can hang with us then." Gino said as he put his arm over her shoulder and started walking away with her, with Anya close behind.
"Um sure?" Karren answered a little weirded out she never technically agreed to it but didn't mind.
They spent the next half hour eating treats and playing the booth games, every one of those Karren beat Gino at. Karren won and oversized bunny which Gino happily carried for her.
"Hmmm. Well there's not much else to do here. Should we go see were the commoners go to school." Gino suggested with a mischievous grin.
"Yah lets." Karren replied instantly, eager to see what common schools have.
They walked past several buildings, all of which were empty for the most part. Then they came across a blonde girl in a huge hat sitting next to a brown haired boy in the black Ashford Academy uniform.
"Hey its Suzaku" Gino said as they walked towards them from behind.
Suddenly a cat jumped and grabbed the pen out of Suzakus hand and ran away. The boy and girl immediately started after it.
"Arthur that was Euphies!" Suzaku said as he ran after the cat.
"Suzaku you can't leave, you're the guest of honor!" the blonde girl yelled as she ran after him.
"What was that about?" Karren asked as she came upon the seen.
Gino set down the oversized purple bunny and picked up a clipboard from the ground. "There using a knightmare to create a giant pizza?" Gino said clearly confused but also interested.
"Really?" Karren asked amazed by how exciting commoner schools can be. "I'd love to be able to pilot that!" Karren said excitedly about using her favorite machine to make her favorite food.
Gino smirked at her comment. "Well come on, I'll let you drive." Gino said as he walked over towards the machine. Karren stood stunned for a moment.
"Is he serious?" she thought. "Um but I don't know how to drive one?" She said acting ignorant. After all normal civilians don't know how to operate knightmares normally.
"Don't worry. I'll teach you, I am after all a Knight of the Round." Gino said hopping into the cockpit of the ganamade.
Karren could swear she felt her heart stop. "A Knight of the Round? Really? I've been hanging out with the Knights of the man I hate most!" Karren screamed in her head but kept the anger from showing.
"Come on ill teach you." Gino said positioning himself behind the seat.
She slowly walked over trying not to show her anxiety. Karren got in and put her hands on the controls, then remembered she has to act stupid for her cover. "So how do I do this?" She asked.
"It's simple. Just put the key in then…" Gino said before she lost herself in though.
"Hes been nice to me ever since I met him. Him and Anya aren't that bad. Maybe all Knights of the Round aren't evil." She thought in her head.
"So V.V is the one who gave the Emporer and Karren their geass powers." Lelouch asked as he stood next to the open carrier for the tomatoes for the pizza.
"Yes" C.C answered plainly leaning on the carrier.
"Lulu!" Shirley screamed. Lelouch freaked and "Accidently" pushes C.C into the container and pressed a button to close the top off.
"What's up Shirley" Lelouch said as the container closed shut.
"Oh there you are" Shirley said turning the corner and noticing him.
"Do you need something?" Lelouch asked as Shirley began to climb the ladder.
"Well I have a little problem that I hope you can help me with, Miss Viletta seems to be avoiding me so I was thinking you should… huh your alone?" Shirley said as she reached the top noticing Lelouch was alone when he was clearly with someone seconds ago.
"Yah" Lelouch replied simply.
"I could have sworn you were talking to someone just now." Shirley asked clearly confused.
"Nope, we are the only ones here. Just the two of us." Lelouch said trying as best he could to remain calm.
Shirley waited a moment thinking about how this could be her chance.
"Listen um Lulu…. Would you go... huh?" Shirley said before noticing Lelouch being partially eaten by a green mole mascot.
"Sorry but I didn't quite catch that?" Lelouch said as he leaned back into the mascot which held Kallen inside.
"Hey what's the big idea?" Shirley said walking over to the awkward scene.
"What are you doing?" Lelouch whispered in his awkward position. "If someone spots you as well then..."
"Don't worry I came here to take pizza girl back. And Karrens somewhere her also." Kallen whispered so Shirley wouldn't hear.
"Great. C.C is in with the tomatoes, take the whole container. I'll look for Karren. Have Tohdoh and Ohgi..." Lelouch said before Shirley started to pull him out.
"Who's in there being so rude?" Shirley asked oblivious to the fact that Lelouch went crashing off the container platform. She stood there a moment before talking again. "Will you quit standing there and say something?" Shirley said as she began trying to ripe the mascots head off.
"If I say something she'll find out who I am" Kallen thought as she struggled to keep the mascots head on.
Kallen tried to run away only for Shirley to pull her back and punch the mascot's plush face.
"Shirley, be careful with that" Lelouch said trying to defuse the situation.
"Hey has anyone seen Arthur" Suzaku said as he came upon the scene. "He stole a valuable quill pen from me and…" Suddenly the container started to make noise as C.C kicked it. "Oh no, is he inside that thing?" Suzaku asked deep in concern for the cat and pen.
"No. cats and tomatoes don't mix." Lelouch said losing the situation greatly.
Suddenly the entire container started to be lifted by the purple and yellow ganamade knightmare. "I think we are supposed to start with this" Karren said over the loudspeaker.
"You've got to be kidding me?" Kallen and Lelouch both whispered at the same time.
"Who's that?" Suzaku asked because the voice sounded familiar.
"Just me and my trainee" Gino said over the loudspeaker from his place behind the seat of the cockpit. "I swear this commoner school is really a blast" Gino said as the ganamade shot off.
Everyone immediately began to chase after something. Kallen and Lelouch raced after Karren and C.C. Suzaku ran after Arthur whom the ganamade was about to crush. Milly chased after Sazaku since he's the guest of honor. And Shirley chased after Kallen, ending in a huge odd line of chasers.
"It looks like it's coming around the parade route. They'll be marched around the school building first then make their way out here." Rilaz's spoke into his microphone, projecting his voice throughout the audience.
"You know for someone who's never done this before your handling it quite well." Gino complimented as they headed around the school.
"Must be a natural" Karren replied smiling. "Well time to make the sauce." Karren said as the ganamade started to shake the container which C.C was still inside off.
"What a mess. They're going right to the stage." Leloch said as he began running out of breath. "Im not cut out for this sort of thing". Everyone started to pass him up, including Milly.
"Release the hounds" She said as the passed by waving her cat toy in the air. The ganamade raced along the route perfectly as students stood in awe.
"Over there." Rizals said as he pointed towards the incoming ganamade. "The Knight of Seven, Suzaku Kuarugi. He's arrived with our Andes Grown Ultimate Tomatoes. Suzaku come on over, you're the one we've been waiting for." Suddenly Suzaku dashes in front of the ganamade to rescue Arthur from being crushed. "Eh, except that" Rizals stood deeply confused.
"There's someone else piloting" Karren said with a grin as she approached the stage. Rivals freaked and quickly darted out of the way.
"No way I'm letting things end like this" Lelouch stated as he approached a balcony. "Team leader one look up at me"
"Yes Vice Prez" He replied looking up.
Lelouch quickly took off his contact and activated his geass. "Employ system patter ruse." He commanded as red rings encompassed the student's eyes.
"Going to system pattern ruse." He said to himself as he pressed a button.
As Karren dumped all the tomato sauce, gas exploded all over the stage blinding everyone with shiny bubbles.
Gino laughed historically at the comedy of it. "Is I really that big of a surprise."
"Was that supposed to happen?" Karren asked mildly concerned that she just ruined the main event.
"What the hell's going on?" Viletta said as she bumped into Kallen knocking off her mask. "Sorry" she said while holding her head.
"Oh no it was my fault" Kallen said before realizing the mask was gone and putting it back on.
"That's?" she thought about where she saw her before.
"Recorded" Anya said as she took a picture of Shirley on the ground while she held Karrens purple bunny. "Thank you Miss"
"Um you're welcome?" Shirley replied confusingly.
"Oh Arthur" Suzaku said as he held the cat with the pen.
Bubbles filled the school as Milly stood on the center walkway. "Well, sometimes you get the little filler incidents in life. And that's fine." She said cheerfully.
Meanwhile on the roof of the school, C.C, Kallen, and Lelouch stood contemplating what to do. "And you say a student from the swim club saw you?" Lelouch asked looking down at the festival.
"I think it might have been the teacher" Kallen replied in her clothes that looked inappropriate in 20 different ways. "I didn't get her name. But the thing is I remember her going to last year's festival with Ohgi."
"Ohgi and Viletta together?" Lelouch said contemplating what it could all mean.
"Minami said that Ohgi might have had a collaborator that reported directly to him." Kallen said.
"Ohgi kept a secret from me?" Lelouch said extremely surprised.
"What about Karren? She is still with that Knight of the Round." Kallen said generally concerned.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with her. It's actually quite lucky she's here. I have need for her geass." Lelouch said as he started walking away.
"How are you not worried she'll get caught?" Kallen said with a bit of anger.
"Don't worry Kallen. Our daughter is smarter than you give her credit for." Lelouch replied as he went towards the staircase leaving a blushing Kallen behind.
"You really act like her mother even if you don't mean to" C.C said as she leaned against the marble wall.
Kallen raised her hand in protest but on lack of a comeback decided to stay quiet.
Karren parked the ganamade back where it was supposed to and quickly got out with Gino. "Not bad at all. I'd say you took up that knightmare quite well. You could have a future as a pilot." Gino said thoroughly impressed.
"Thanks, but I don't think I'll be cut out for it" Karren replied knowing she was already at ace level with knightmare combat.
Anya came by and took another picture of the two. "Recorded" she said simply.
"You should do love that camera" Gino said grinning at her. Karren walked over and quickly snatched up her giant purple bunny.
"Thanks for holding it for me. I had a lot of fun." Karren said gratefully with a smile.
Suzaku walked up to the group with his quill safely in hand. "Hey Gino what was all that about?" Sazaku asked and then noticed the black haired girl in a baseball cap.
"Oh well after you ran off, Karren here said she loved to try out the knightmare, so I showed her how and we kind of stole the show." Gino said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh I never knew you could act mature enough to teach properly" Suzaku said with a smirk then turned his attention to the new girl who was keeping her hat lowered so he couldn't see her eyes.
"Well I didn't have to teach much, this girls a natural I swear." Gino said putting his arm around her in a buddy motion.
"Please I'm novice at best" Karren said as she took Gino's arm and pushed it off of her.
"That voice…" Suzaku thought. "Where did you find her?" Suzaku questioned clearly interested in the girl.
The situation was getting bad and Karren knew it. Suzaku was more persistent in her than gino and he knew Kallen and Lelouch so mentioning them would just be tying her to the Black Knights. She looked over and saw Lelouch walking over in school clothes, looking exactly like what Kallens memories described.
Karren thought quickly about what Lelouch Lamprouge does that could help her escape. "Gambling" she finally came up with as he joined the group of people.
"Hey you're the guy who took half my dad's money in a chess match!" Karren yelled and eyed him angrily that looked all too real.
Lelouch saw her ploy and started to back away. "You better get running!" Karren yelled. Lelouch caught what she was trying to do and began to run towards the school. A few seconds later she bolted after him.
"Should we help him?" Gino asked as Suzaku stood there confused.
"Recorded" Anya said as she took a picture of Suzaku's surprised face.
(Later that Night)
Rolo stood poised to shoot Viletta in the OSI communications room underneath the school. "So that's it Rolo. You've turned traitor?" Viletta asked clearly surprised and eyeing the gun until the door opened up as Lelouch and a girl with amethyst eyes and black hair walked in next to him.
"Viletta Nu, the women who was awarded the rank of baron for ascertaining Zero's true identity. But unknown to most you're connected to the Black Knights." Lelouch spoke as she followed his movements.
"Not true. I never betrayed" She said before Lelouch interrupted.
"Kaname Ohgi." Viletta flinched at the name knowing he had all the dirt he ever wanted on her. "If word of your relationship ever got out, you'd have to relinquish that title you worked so hard to earn. But why not be reborn as someone new."
He pulled out a bag and took out liquor wrapped in a boy. "Oh yes, and Shirley gave me this to give to you so it fits in quite nicely. Happy Birthday!" Lelouch said as he grinned evilly at her. Viletta's eyes twitched at how she was at his mercy.
"And now my daughter will give you your new life." Lelouch said as he looked at Karren.
"Your what?" Viletta asked before looking at the girl and being trapped in the gaze of her geass.
"Obey my commands" She said without even a hint of empathy.
Vilettas eyes grew calmer as red rings encircled them. "Yes" was all she spoke in reply.
"You will ignore all unusual actions that Lelouch, I, C.C, Kallen, or any Black knights take. You will keep up the ruse of finding C.C but if you do capture her on video you are to erase it immediately. You will act normal around Suzaku or any other person outside your OSI team but will never give him any useful information. And… you will yell at Lelouch every time he skips gym but will never take any direct action against him." Karren spoke, smirking at the last add on.
"Of course" Viletta answered simply.
"Good job" Lelouch said putting a hand on Karrens shoulder.
Karren smirked at his gesture. "Like father, like daughter." She said as he began to walk out the room.
Once he was gone only Rolo, Karren, and a geassed Viletta remained. Karren walked up to Rolo and looked him dead in the eye with her geass still active. "You aren't his brother, you're only useful as a cover up." Karren said before turning away and exiting the room.
Rolo felt like ending her life right there but he knew she could probably kill him and big brother would get mad if he actually did try. This girl proclaiming to being Lelouches daughter had his geass and big brothers, along with who knows how many others. He looked back at Viletta as she calmly sat down and started to unwrap the liquor and began drinking it oblivious to what happened.
"I will not let her show me up" He said angrily to himself as he walked out of the room.
