Chapter 11: Revealed Secrets
After the dinner, there was still silence. The tranquility of the night reigns among all this at that very moment. Lelouch's mind was set on what Lucy said before—about Schneizel and the lime-head lady. He was very sure at that moment that the lady Lucy always saw was C.C.
'Why is it Schneizel was in Lucy's vision? Is it possible that he was responsible of her lost?' questions raised inside his thought. While on her way to her room, Lucy noticed him, walking the same area of the balcony—she felt dizzy looking at him…
"Will you please stop what you are doing?"
Lelouch then stopped and faced his niece with a query look. "Hmm…?"
"You're making me sick walking the same area; can you not sit down while you're thinking something?"
"About the lady you see…"
"C.C.?" Lelouch was caught off guard…
"Huh…?"
"Don't play games with me, I knew she was C.C."
"How on earth…" He was in deep thought again.
"I would like to ask you forgiveness for I scan through your lame journal and found out that the girl I always see was C.C."
"You what…!" His eyes were about to popped-out as to what he heard from Lucy. He doesn't want her to know about everything about the past especially before her time. "How dare you scan into my stuff without my permission?"
Lucy also exclaimed, "And how dare you lied to everyone about your fake death during the Zero requiem?"
"It was needed." He explained calmly to prevent throwing bad tempers on Lucy.
"Needed for what, peace? I know you succeed in that state but there's no happiness uncle," There was a sudden change of her tone—from being impolite to sadness, Lelouch carefully listens to her, "Well this is just my reason, but peace is useless if there's no happiness."
"Why are you saying that?"
"The way how you created the world—too different and full of lies... Why can't you just reveal to the whole world that Lelouch vi Britannia is alive and immortal?"
"You know that the whole world despised me for all the evil stuff I've done just to conquer peace."
"Dad also faced that kind of situation. I know that he was proclaimed death after fighting with another rebel but instead during your procession he disguised Zero just to fulfill the requiem. People were in shock and somehow, I can see again their hatred but it never went for long."
"Suzaku reveal everything we've plan?"
"Not everything, just those that are connected to him. Dad told me those things; the only mistake my parents did is they never told me about my grandparents, the geass, you and your immune immortality."
'This girl… I can see myself from her but in a different perspective.' Lelouch could see himself like mirrors that came to a different persona. The only difference between Lucy and him is that he's quiet ambitious and a little selfish while she is keen and very open to what she thinks.
Can't sleep in the middle of the night, Lelouch was deeply struck about what Lucy said on how Suzaku manage to keep his image clean while blurting out the secret that he was Zero during the Zero requiem. 'How on earth did he do that? That damn friend of mine, he's really sometimes out of his own league.' He said while sitting upright on his bed. "You're really difficult Suzaku…" He whisper to the air believing Suzaku will hear it by his soul.
Tomorrow will be another day—and a plan and strategy has begun to rage in Lelouch's mind. He was still not sure if he is prepared to destroy again the world he molded for Nunnally…
