This trial that Julio is planning for Ange? It involves her being dressed in rags, being handcuffed, and being whipped by her own little sister for trivial infractions like...

"This is for pushing me off my horse," Sylvia stated as her whip hits Ange's back.

And I can't believe the audience are cheering for it. It sickens me because I know that the people using Mana are truly the evil beings not Norma as they were just decent girls.

Anyway, I was allowed to be in front of the execution site with Julio because I'm a childhood friend of his little sister. Sylvia whipped Ange for how she left her unable to walk from the accident. Like I thought of this, it's a trivial infraction. Next, she's going to whip her for another reason.

"And this is for being b-"

However, I stopped this at the last moment by grabbing the end of Sylvia's whip. She is surprised of what she just did, and so does Julio. The audience stopped their cheering on what I just did.

"Lelouch, why did you stop me?" Sylvia demanded.

"Because I will be the one to deliver the last one to her," I replied.

Thinking it over for a few seconds, she agreed to hand over her whip to me. As I acted like I'm going to hit my childhood friend, I'm not going to. Instead, I threw away the weapon on the side of the execution site. Julio, Sylvia, and the audience are surprised on this act.

"Lelouch, why did you...?" that evil counterpart of Nunnally is asking me a question.

"Because my hand slipped," I lied with a smug expression before I get back to Julio's side.

"Sylvia! Please, please stop," Momoka pleaded while she's being placed with Mana handcuffs. "This is cruel."

"Cruel?" Sylvia turned to her before she noticed I was glaring at her again. "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing," I turned my head away from this evil Nunnally counterpart.

Next thing I know is that Julio has thanked Momoka for her part in his scheme. It turns out that he's the one who sent her to be with Ange on Arzenal, but without her knowing she's been manipulated. She's crying from this revelation.

"I sent her first on that island, you Clovis-lookalike," I mumbled to myself with a disdain expression.

Clovis makes his announcement to the crowd that can use Mana.

"The Empress died in her foolish attempt to protect a Norma, and the witless Emperor was executed for deceiving the people."

I noticed Ange looks surprised on what happened to her father, but I already made preparations just in case something like this would come up. Besides, I knew this Clovis-lookalike will bring shame to his family someday.

"Abominable Norma, Angelise, who carries the royal bloodline. With your judgment, the cleansing of the royal family will be complete. Tonight, this nation will be reborn. The New Empire of Misurugi," Julio added. "As Julio the First, Emperor of the Holy Empire, I demand that this Norma be executed!"

He concluded his speech, and the crowd cheered. That is so barbaric of those Mana users. Can't they see that Norma that are often women are human beings like that? It doesn't matter if they can't use Mana. They should be treated like human beings, as equals to Mana users.

That's the new world I'm going to make. If there any DRAGONs out there, I'm going to be sure the result will be the same.

Anyway, after getting whipped, Ange is about to be sent to the gallows, and I saw her former classmates are cheering for her to die. If that wasn't enough, the brown-haired girl threw an egg at her for a crime, which it turns out Ange kicked her around a little and tied her up. I knew the reason why she did this; she discovered that her former friend was going to report her to the authorities. To her, it's not a big deal, causing that girl to cry.

Baby...

Momoka tried to put up an explanation.

"It's not her fault. Angelise didn't do anything wrong. I found happiness thanks to Angelise."

I agree with what she just said. To me, it didn't matter if Ange is something beyond human; she's still the same girl I knew for about years ago. I smiled at this so I could support her.

Unfortunately, her pleas are being ignored when Ange's former classmates are clapping and chanting, 'Hang her', and the crowd follows. I just can't take anymore of this, so I secretly activated my Geass and looked at the brown-haired girl, the one who started this clapping and chanting.

"You, get on the ground and do push-ups," I commanded and my Geass took effect on her. I'm sure that would stop everyone's chant for a while.

"Akiho, what are you doing?" the purple-haired girl asked as she and the other classmates are seeing the brown-haired girl doing push-ups.

Ange saw what I just did as she saw the mark of the Geass on that girl's eyes.

"Lelouch, is that...?" she whispered. I nodded in reply, which makes her smile because she knows I have a Geass power and I'm using it to help her. If I'm not mistaken, she might be smiling on how Momoka and the residents of Arzenal accepted her without prejudice. I know for a certain that this Misty character also counts on the equation. As I saw her getting angry, I knew Ange will have the same thinking I'm having when it comes to people using Mana.

Next, she started singing some song while being sent to the gallows, and I think that was from her mother's. Impressive. I saw Julio and Sylvia are not liking this.

"That's Mother's song. Don't ruin it, you Norma!" the latter demanded. Next, the former looked at Riza as if he demands her to stop her singing.

"Guards, make her stop," Riza ordered.

"Sir," one of the guards said.

"Sir?" I teased her on what she is being called.

"Shut up," she growled.

The guards demand Ange to stop singing, but I could hear her singing quietly.

Now, I make my move.

"All this for that song. How pathetic," I said with disdain.

Julio and Sylvia look insulted when I said that about the song their mother sang when she was alive. They turned to me about this.

"Come now, Lelouch," the former said in a sheepish tone. "I know that song has no meaning to you, but there's no need to be so blunt about it."

"You're committing sexual harassment right now," I said with disdain.

"What?! Because I talked back to you?!" the Clovis-lookalike was taken aback from this.

"Oh, Sylvia, let me tell you something. I'm sure someone would try to rescue to Norma," I turned to little evil Nunnally.

"What? That's impossible! She only came here with Momoka, so I'm sure no one will try to rescue her!" Sylvia exclaimed with fear.

"Actually, I saw a guy who is nether a Mana user nor a Norma coming by to watch her trying to 'rescue' because he was ordered by the owner of the island that she was sent at to make sure she lives," I explained.

"What?! If you saw him, why didn't you stopped him?!" the little sister screamed.

"Because... I wasn't ordered to do so," I replied with a smirk on my face and it looks like I got her humiliated by this statement.

Suddenly, some light came and I shield my eyes along with everyone else. I knew Tusk is about to make his move. As soon as the light fades away, I saw him rescuing Ange, but he landed on her crotch... again.

"Guards, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and restrain them," Riza ordered and the guards are approaching the two. It's obvious she uses the order to give Ange a reason to escape as to not letting Julio know that she is helping me. "That Norma-saver. What is he?"

"A rebel element," Julio replied. "A Norma-sympathizing terrorist."

"He's the one I talked about who can't use Mana, but he's not a Norma," I added.

"I see... Thanks for the detail, Lelouch."

I watched the entire scenario where Ange frees Momoka from her Mana handcuffs and started fighting back on the guards before getting on to some vehicle which the operation is just like how she pilots the Para-mail back on Arzenal. With this, she started to fly away, but before that...

"Thank you, Brother. You revealed my true identity," she turns to Julio before Sylvia. "Thank you, Sylvia. You showed me the true, filthy nature of human beings."

As Sylvia looks frightened by this, I turned to her with a chuckle.

"She got you there," I stated.

"Goodbye, beasts from a rotten nation!" Ange exclaimed before she escaped with Momoka and Tusk.

Next thing I know is that she threw a shuriken on Julio's face, giving him a little wound and some little blood went to Sylvia, causing her to scream. Luckily, I have bottled water to pour on her.

"This should cool you down," I said.

While Riza turns to Julio's aid, she and I looked at each other as I'm prepared to make my next move.

"Sylvia, I wanna talk to you privately in your room," I turned to the little sister.
