Chapter Twelve: Change of Thought

"Xingke! Just let me stay in Britannia!"

Angel was trying to convince her brother of letting her stay in Britannia. It's been a day since the incident with the Empress. Kallen and Angel were now treated as guest instead of prisoners, which confused Kallen dearly. She only remembered the assassination attempt, and that was all. Angel was still hiding it from Kallen that she was undercover, fearing that it might start out a fight.

"Come on brother, I'm fine in Britannia."

"That might be so, but you haven't reported since you worked at Britannia. Do you think that I will really allow you to go back?"

"If you were thinking for the good of the Empress…. yes…"

Xingke stared at Angel and sighed.

"Mei, is there something that binding you to stay there?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Is there a reason why you want to return to badly?"

Angel nodded quickly and then stopped to think about how she should really respond.

"Yes…I've made friends with the Royal Britannian family. And I'm sure that they're worried about me right now…especially after that meeting we had with them."

"I told you specifically not to say those things during that conference."

"You should know me by now!"

Xingke shook his head and then walked toward the railing. It was night and the siblings were outside for the time. It was a cloudy night and the stars were hardly visible.

"The Empress will surely miss you if you do something like this."

"I know, but she's managed to live this long with just you, I'm sure she's used to it by now."

Xingke nodded and then placed a hand on Angel's shoulder.

"As your brother, I'm willing to let you return to Britannia. But you will have to watch over yourself from now on. I don't know…if…"

Angel took her brother's hand and held it.

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll take care of the Empress as well if that is my task."

Xingke nodded and then turned back to the doors leading inside.

"I suggest that you turn in for the night. Only two more days before you actually get exchanged back."

"Sure. I'll get in later…"

Xingke left without saying another word to Angel and left the platform. Angel leaned down on the railing and closed her eyes. She let her arms slump down on the railing and then droop off the edge. When she opened her eyes, the first thing that came to focus was a girl with green hair standing in the middle of the garden below.

"What the? C.C?"

C.C looked up and then waved.

"What are you doing here?"

"I have matters concerning Lelouch to tell you."

"Right now?"

"Yes, it's quite important. Come down here."

Angel glanced around to make sure that no one was watching and then leapt off the edge and landed firmly on her feet in the garden.

"Okay, tell me what's going on."

"It appears that Lelouch has been captured by Britannia. Or more specifically, your Prince Schneizel."

"What now? How did all this happen?"

"I believe it started with yours and that girl's capture. The Chinese Federation asked for Zero in exchange for you."

"Really now? Is Zero that important?"

"That is uncertain, but you need to save Lelouch."

"Me? Why do I have to do it? I'm sure that you have the capability of doing so as well."

"I don't have the mind or types of strategy that you possess, therefore it must be you who needs to save him."

Angel just gave C.C a look and then looked down. Her relationship with Lelouch was most certainly complicated. The worst part was that even she wasn't sure of how she felt about him. But she knew that she needed to save him just this once.

"Fine. But I need some time to prepare this. Meet me in the morning tomorrow right here."

"Very well."


Angel entered the hallway and approached two doors. She took in a deep breath and then kicked open the doors and stormed in.

"Okay, listen up everyone."

Angel saw that the High Eunuchs were all sitting in place and smiled.

"Today, you will all obey me!"

Angel activated her geass power and opened her left eye sharply. The High Eunuchs members were all surprised by this but was too late to realize what had happened.

"Listen carefully…"


"Kallen, I need to talk with you."

Kallen glanced up from her book and then looked at Angel.

"There you are! I've been meaning to talk to you! Can you believe the treatment we're getting for saving the Empress? This is insane!"

"Uh right. Okay, Kallen we need to chat very quickly."

"What is it?"


"What is taking her so long…"

C.C sat on one of the short shrubs in garden and waited for Angel to show up.

"She did say in the morning right? So I'm not late, she is."

"Talking to yourself again I see."

C.C turned around and saw that Angel was right behind her with her arms crossed.

"You're late."

"Sorry, last minute prep. Now come on, let's go get us some Knightmares to use."

"Knightmares?"

Angel was already heading toward the back way of the fenced off palace.

"Are you coming or are you not?"

C.C just stared and then headed toward her.

"Just make sure mine looks good."

"Sure whatever…"

Angel quickly made her way through an opening in the gate and slipped through. C.C followed after but left a small distance between them. Angel bent down and flipped open a secret compartment and turned to C.C.

"All right, jump in."

"Where does that go to?"

"Does it really matter?"

C.C shrugged and then jumped in slowly. Angel glanced around the area one last time and then jumped in herself, pulling the hatch closed.

Inside, a long tunnel way was the only thing C.C saw. Angel picked up a torch and started walking forward. For a while they were silent and C.C decided to ask.

"Do you love Lelouch?"

Angel just paused and then started walking down again.

"I don't know."

"Then why are you coming to save him?"

"Because he and I share a similar desire for the world. That's all I'm going to answer."

C.C grew quiet and Angel glanced back.

"What about you? Why do you care so much for him?"

C.C narrowed her eyes and then turned her face away.

"Because I need him to accomplish something."

"You mean your death wish?"

C.C grunted slightly and then glared at Angel. They both had stopped walking and then Angel just started again. They finally reached the end and appeared out in a forest. In front of them were two Knightmares in excellent condition. Angel blew out the torch and then tossed it somewhere into the bushes.

"Which one do you want?"

C.C simply shrugged and then walked past Angel.

"They both look the same to me. So I don't really care."

Angel nodded and then tossed her the key to one of them.

"Take the one on the left. It's time to actually save someone right now."

"The exchange isn't until tomorrow though."

Angel hopped onto her Knightmare and popped open the hatch.

"I know. I just thought we might want to get something else before tomorrow. You know, in case my plan fails."

"You're cautious aren't you?"

"Naturally."

C.C jumped into hers and they both started it up. C.C thought about what Angel had said in the tunnel and then turned attention to the control panel.

"You really don't know?"

Angel activated the open channel and connected with C.C's Knightmare.

"Just where are even headed to right now?"

Angel smiled and laughed a little.

"Just to the underground market for now…"
