The Morgause
Nonette stood out of the cockpit of her Knightmare Frame. The Black Knights were shocked when Nonette revealed herself to them. Lelouch and Nunnally were shocked seeing the Knight of Nine and they knew that things just went an unexpected and unfortunate turn.
"Hey, hold on," Keitaro said, "A Knight of the Round?"
"Why the hell is one of them here?" Kallen asked, "Is she really here because of Zero?"
"Does that mean that they really consider Zero that much to be a threat to Britannia?" Naoto asked.
"You could say that," Nonette said and then looked at Zero, "Zero, I happen to watch the footage of your fight against Cornelia."
"Have you?" Zero replied.
"Yes, you seem to have…such interesting skills piloting a Knightmare," Nonette said, "so interesting that I want to take you on myself against your skill."
Lelouch was wide eyed behind the mask and Nunnally was wide eyed behind her visor. The Black Knights were surprised and wondered Nonette's intent.
"Wait, is she serious?" Tamaki asked.
"Does she want to fight Zero herself?" Minami asked.
Jinta was shocked as well and wondered what was going on.
"Charles," Jinta said in his head, "she says she saw the footage and she was sent here…what's going on? Charles sent her, no doubt but what…? Does this mean that Charles suspects that it's his son?," Jinta clenched his teeth, "It's possible…but how would he know for sure…?"
"Zero, what now?" Rai asked.
"I have no choice," Zero said.
"Zero?" Naoto asked.
"All of you retreat," Zero ordered, "Retreat and take all the Refrain users with you and get away from here quickly. I'll stay and take on the Knight of Nine."
"That's fine," Nonette said, "I'm only interested in you Zero. I don't care much with the rest."
"Zero," Kallen said.
"Get moving," Zero said, "Hurry and get yourselves out of here."
"But we can't just leave you here," Ohgi said, "if something was to happen to you…"
"This isn't open for debate!" Zero said strongly and then spoke in a calm tone, "Please just go."
"Z-Zero," Yoshida said with concern.
Zero rushed and climbed up his Lionel and got in the cockpit and activated his Knightmare Frame again. Zero's followers reluctantly did as Zero ordered and got themselves out taking the Refrain users with them. Nunnally looked on concerned for her brother as she got on her Lucan and helped getting the people out with Rai and Sayoko helping out as well. Nonette looked on seeing the Black Knights retreating and then looked over to the Lionel.
"I really do have to thank Princess Euphemia for this," Nonette commented.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Zero responded.
"She was the one who learned about this Refrain operation and put the pieces together of who's involved."
"I see, so it was Euphemia who found out about this."
"Yes…although I must admit that it is unfortunate."
"Why do you say that?"
"Cornelia," Nonette said with a frown, "had she not been so narrow-minded about it and really thoroughly investigated the Refrain distribution, she would found out about this and put an end to it a long time ago…her sister wouldn't need to do the investigating and you Black Knights would not be here to handle this and add this as another of your successful missions," Nonette sighed, "I'll have to have a talk with Nelly when she gets back."
"Nelly, huh…"
"Anyway Zero," Nonette said as she got in the cockpit of her Knightmare Frame, "how about we get started? I'll be your opponent along with the Morgause."
"The Morgause?"
"Yes, the name of my Knightmare here which was actually worked on by the very same genius mind behind the Lancelot and his team."
"I see, so it was them," Zero said and then had his thoughts, "the very people who brought out the existence of the Lancelot that Suzaku pilots," Zero frowned, "Nonette is nothing like Suzaku or Cornelia for that matter."
"Let's see what you're made of Zero!" Nonette said.
Nonette piloted the Morgause and charged towards the Lionel with Jousting Lance in hand. The Morgause pointed the Jousting Lance towards the Lionel and the Lionel quickly pointed the Machine Pistol and started shooting at the Morgause. The Morgause quickly dodged the shots and sidestepped and swung her weapon. The Lionel reacted a bit late as it was struck by the lance and was sent flying and it crashed on the wall.
"Damn," Zero said.
"Come now Zero!" Nonette said, "Surely you can do better than that!"
Zero piloted the Lionel to stand and then quickly turned and ran and that action surprised Nonette.
"Zero, surely you know that it's pointless to run from me!" Nonette said and then had her thoughts, "Unless…"
The Morgause went after the Lionel. Meanwhile, the Black Knights were retreating out of the factory with the Refrain users with them who were still in their illusions so it was a bit tricky to get them along to get away to safety. Nunnally in her Lucan looked back and was worried for her brother.
"Lelouch," Nunnally said in her head with worry.
There was a sudden crash and it surprised the Black Knights as they wondered what it was. Naoto got concern and headed went somewhere and Nunnally went with him. On the other side, there was a huge hole that had just formed on the wall and the Lionel was outside it was on one knee. The Morgause was walking towards the Lionel and in the cockpit of the Knightmare Frame, Nonette had a look of disappointment.
"This is the guy that defeated Nelly in Saitama?" Nonette asked, "I'm not impressed Zero!"
In the cockpit of the Lionel, Zero looked on and glared the Morgause.
"What do I do?" Zero asked himself in his head, "Even if I fight the way I should resulting in Nonette getting clues about me, I can't defeat her in my current level…damn."
"Come on Zero," Nonette said, "don't disappoint me."
The Morgause pointed its Jousting Lance at the Lionel. Meanwhile CC appeared on the roof and did not like what she was seeing.
"I have to do something and quick," CC said, "I can't let him die."
CC went off to go rush somewhere. The Morgause got stood near the Lionel and pointed the Jousting Lance at the Lionel.
"You're finished Zero," Nonette said.
The Morgause was suddenly being shot at and the pilots of the Morgause and the Lionel looked over and saw the Lucan with a Machine Pistol shooting at the Morgause. Nonette was forced to move away and was dodging the shots.
"Nunnally!" Zero said in his head surprised at what his sister was doing.
"Zero!" Naoto's voiced screamed.
Zero looked over and saw Naoto with the two Combat Knives that the two dead Knightpolice were going to use on him and his sister. Naoto piloted his Glasgow to throw the two knives to the ground near the Lionel and Zero quickly got his Lionel up and grabbed the knives. Nonette was annoyed as she glared at the Lucan and drew an Assault Rifle.
"Don't interfere!" Nonette said angrily.
The Morgause started shooting at the Lucan and the Lucan quickly moved away and avoiding getting hit. A Slash Harken suddenly struck and disarmed the Morgause of the Assault Rifle and Nonette looked over and saw the Lionel and the Lionel charged with the two Combat Knives in each hand. The Morgause quickly block the dual knife attack with the Jousting Lance. The Morgause raised the Jousting Lance up a bit forcing the arms of the Lionel up a bit and shot its two Hip-mounted Slash Harkens and they struck the Lionel. Zero reacted by shooting both of the Shoulder-mounted Slash Harkens and striking the Morgause and disarming the Morgause of the Jousting Lance. Both Knightmare Frames flew back and both landed on one knee. The Morgause quickly grabbed its Assault Rifle and started shooting but the Lionel was able to quickly got up, dodge the shots, grabbed the two Combat Knives, and started to retreat. The Morgause got up and pursued after the Lionel while shooting with the Assault Rifle. The Morgause moves forward between the two buildings and looks around.
"Where are you Zero?" Nonette asked, "Come out, come out and plaaaaay!"
A Combat Knife is suddenly thrown and the Nonette quickly sees it and deflects the throwing knife with a Slash Harken.
"Impressive!" Nonette commented.
The Lionel suddenly appears from the side and charge towards the Morgause with such quickness and the other Combat Knife in hand and Nonette used her Knightmare's left arm to block the knife attack and it did some damage to the Morgause's left arm. The Morgause retaliated by throwing a fist and the Lionel was able to catch the incoming fist and held the Morgause off. Nonette tried to use her Knightmare's damaged left arm but Zero had his Lionel take hold of the left arm. They both quickly shot their Slash Harkens at each other at the same time and knocked each other back from each other. They charged towards each other again and started fighting each other as they threw attacks and dodging and countering each other's attacks and movements. As they kept fighting, Nonette was getting the feel with the way Zero was fighting and she had her suspicions seeing the same way she saw the footage and when Zero fought Cornelia. Nonette and Zero continued and damaging each other's frame gradually. Suddenly, most of the Black Knights showed up and were seeing the Knightmare fight between their leader and the Knight of Nine.
"Zero is holding up," Minami said.
"Yeah but look, I can't see any sign of the Knight of Nine slowing down," Rai said.
"Yeah but Zero is not slowing down either," Tamaki said and then felt confident in his leader, "hey Zero may be able to beat her after all."
"If only it was a sure thing," Jinta said with worry.
The Glasgow piloted by Naoto and the Lucan piloted by Nunnally showed up and they both had had Assault Rifles in hand. Back with the two fighting Knightmares, the Lionel pushed and trips the Morgause and making the purple Knightmare Frame fall on the ground. The Lionel quickly went in for the attack but the Morgause quickly took and threw a Combat Knife and then knife struck the Lionel's right shoulder and caused the Lionel to stagger back.
"Damn!" Zero said.
The Morgause got up and rammed the Lionel to the ground. The Black Knights were mortified in what they had just witnessed. The Lionel was pinned by the Morgause and was forced to let go of the Combat Knife.
"Too bad for you Zero," Nonette said, "but don't feel bad. With what you displayed, I can see how Cornelia was beaten by you. In fact, your style reminds me of someone I knew so I won't kill you…at least not until you answer the questions I have for you like who you are really and how did you learn to pilot your Knightmare with such skill."
"Dammit!" Zero said and then had his thoughts, "I'm in trouble!"
Zero moved his Lionel's left arm with the intent to shoot the left Wrist-Mounted Slash Harken but Nonette saw it coming and quickly had her Morgause grabbed the Combat Knife that was held by the Lionel and stabbed the Lionel's left arm.
"Oh no no no, Zero!" Nonette said, "I won't allow that!"
The Lionel shot one of the Shoulder-mounted Slash Harken but the Morgause was able to catch the Slash Harken and used it to stab the shoulder of the Lionel.
"Almost," Nonette said gleefully.
"Damn it," Zero said.
"I take it you're out of tricks now," Nonette said, "it's over for you Zero."
Zero looked and glared at the Morgause and then he looked at a red button.
"Damn it," Zero said, "She's forced my hand."
Zero was about to push the red button but suddenly, the Morgause was getting shot at and Nonette and Zero looked over and saw Naoto's Glasgow and Nunnally's Lucan pointing their Assault Rifles at the Morgause. Zero was shocked and asked them why they were there when he told them to leave. Nonette was angry with the interference.
"I said not to interfere!" Nonette said angrily, "It seems that you want to die that badly!"
The Morgause was suddenly struck on the head with something and caused an explosion which blinded Nonette and caused the Morgause to stagger back. Zero was surprised at what had just happened and suddenly felt his Knightmare being tugged and picked up. Zero saw that it was the Glasgow piloted by Kallen and a Gloucester that had a launcher and it was piloted by CC.
"Made it just in time," CC said.
"CC?" Zero asked.
"Yeah, it's me," CC said.
"We're getting out of here," Kallen said, "let's leave quickly while the Knight of Nine is disorientated."
Kallen and CC were able to get Zero and his Lionel away and Naoto and Nunnally signaled the other members of the Black Knights to make haste to retreat quickly. Nonette was angry was what just had happened and she was able to get away from the smoke caused by the explosion in which did some damage to the head of his Knightmare Frame and she looked around and saw that the there was no sign of the Lionel nor was there any sign of the two Knightmares that were shooting her. Nonette piloted her Morgause to look for any signs of Zero or the Black Knights and when she didn't find any trace of them, she was furious and hit her fist on her console within her cockpit.
"Damn them!" Nonette said angrily, "How could I allow myself to get caught off with such a cheap trick? What the hell was that anyway?" Nonette looked around and then she sighed, "How annoying…Zero has gotten away," Nonette smiled, "but it's not all bad. I have a clear idea about Zero. The opportunity will arrive for me again, I'm sure. You're reprieved for now Zero. Well, it's time for me to head back to the bureau and give my report."
Meanwhile elsewhere, the Black Knights gathered and the Gloucester and Kallen's Glasgow carried the damaged Lionel with them and set the black lion-headed Knightmare down. The Black Knights to check on Zero as Zero got out of the cockpit and disembark from his Knightmare. The Black Knights gathered around Zero asking him if he was all right and Zero assured the Black Knights that he was although he was upset. It was a fact to Zero that he lost his fight against Nonette Enneagram and Zero was concerned that with Nonette in the picture, things were going to be difficult. Zero checked and saw the four trucks that carried the Refrain users and saw that none were hurt in the skirmish with the Knightmare and then he saw Naoto checking on Sena and Zero went to Naoto and spoke to him and Kallen who went to them. Jinta was away from the group and looked back to the direction of where they were at the factory and then confrontation with Nonette and CC walked by and stood next to him.
"It's been a long time Jinta Kuromaki," CC said.
"Yes, indeed it has CC," Jinta said, "it's been what…ten years since we last saw each other back in Pendragon?"
"Yeah," CC then sighed, "it seems that Charles sent one of the Knights of the Round here? Do you know why he did that?"
"My guess is that Charles may be suspecting his son and daughter for that matter," Jinta paused a bit and glanced at CC, "speaking of which CC, don't you think you owe it to Lelouch and Nunnally the truth of what you know?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," CC said with a shrug.
"I'm talking about Marianne's murder," Jinta said glaring at CC, "you know who killed Marianne, your former contractor, don't you?"
"Who knows and what makes you think that I do?"
Jinta glared at CC, "I don't think it's right for you to keep vital things from Lelouch."
"Listen Jinta, I have a contract with Lelouch and whatever concerns between Lelouch and myself is not your concern," CC said, "you will do well to stay out of it."
CC turned and began to walk away.
"So Lelouch doesn't know that your wish is to die by his hands," Jinta said.
"Jinta, I know where you're going but don't even think about it," CC said in a cold tone and turning to Jinta with a glare, "you have no right to be involved."
CC walked away and Jinta looked back seeing CC walked away.
"Isn't it better to save Lelouch a lot of trouble?" Jinta asked in his head.
Jinta then looked over and saw Kallen and Naoto with their mother and were seeing the effects of the Refrain that she was using. Jinta then looked over to Zero, Nunnally, Sayoko, and Rai and they looked concerned with what had happened and Jinta had a guess what Lelouch's expression was like behind the mask.
As CC kept walking, she was seeing also seeing Kallen and Naoto with their mother.
"False tears bring pain to those around you," CC said in her head, "A false smile brings pain to one's self."
The Next Day, Tokyo's General Hospital
"It's the aftereffect of the Refrain," The nurse informed, "she's unable to talk much. She'll eventually recover but it will take time."
"Mom, in regards to your sentence," Kallen said, "you got twenty years."
Naoto clenched his teeth and looked away with a sad expression. Kallen had a sad expression as well but it quickly changed to a determined expression.
"But just you wait Mom," Kallen said determined, "Naoto and I, together we're working to change things. Things will be better by the time you get out and then," Kallen paused a bit and then continued, "the three of us can be together again and live normal lives again.
Naoto was a bit surprised as he looked at Kallen.
"Kallen…" Naoto said.
"I want you to know Mom that I'm sorry," Kallen said with remorse, "I'm sorry for the way acted towards you all this time. Had I not brushed off what Naoto was trying to tell me, I would not have acted like a fool but even so, you stood by my side and stayed in that house for my sake," Kallen's eyes were welling up, "I don't know if I—"
Kallen cut herself off when she felt a hand over hers and she looked and saw that it was her mother. Kallen and Naoto were surprised and they looked at their mother. Sena placed her hand over Naoto's hand as well and it surprised her children again.
"Hang in there," Sena said, "hang in there Kallen. Hang in there Naoto. Hang in there my beloved son and daughter."
Kallen and Naoto were surprised and they felt happy with their mother.
"Yeah, we will Mom," Kallen said happily.
"You can bet on it Mom," Naoto said being a bit tearful himself, "don't worry. We will be together again."
"Yes," Kallen said.
Naoto and Kallen hugged their mother and they closed their eyes keeping their mother in their embrace while thinking about the pleasant times they spent together with their mother. Later on, Kallen and Naoto left their mother's room and they went to the lobby where they found Lelouch and Nunnally there sitting in their seats and waiting for them. Lelouch and Nunnally saw Naoto and Kallen and they stood up and they approached them.
"Kallen, Naoto," Lelouch said, "Are you…?"
"Don't worry Lelouch, we're fine," Naoto assured.
"Really?" Nunnally asked concerned, "Are you two really okay?"
"Well, it hurts knowing that our mother will be getting twenty years….but we made a promise to her."
"That's right," Kallen said, "we know what we need to do now."
Lelouch just looked at them and then he smiled, "I see…if that's the case then there's no need for us to say anymore. Just let me say this, I'll make sure that whatever promise you made, I'll help you two so that you can keep your promise."
"I'll do the same as well," Nunnally said and nodded.
Kallen and Naoto were amazed and then they smiled and nodded thanking Lelouch and Nunnally.
Somewhere in the New York District, Holy Britannian Empire
In one of the offices on the top floor of a large building, a tall man in a brown business suit with red short hair and beard and deep green eyes was sitting in a desk and he was on the phone with someone. The tall man had a sullen expression.
"I see," The man said, "okay, thank you for informing me…yes…keep me updated."
The man hung up the phone and he sighed sadly and then he stood up and looked out of the window. He then took something out of the pocket of his suit jacket and he was staring at a photo. It was a photo that was taken ten years ago in Japan and it was him with Sena, Naoto, and Kallen and they looked happy together in the photo. The man placed his thumb on Sena, thinking about the Japanese woman.
"Sena," The man said, "so you've been given twenty years."
The man then looked at the young Naoto and Kallen.
"Naoto my son," The man said, "Kallen my daughter. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. I know I betrayed your mother…and you two as well."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Excuse me, Earl Stadfeldt?" A male spoke from the other side.
"Come in," The man who was an Earl, James Stadfeldt said as he put his photo away and turned.
A lean looking man with short brown hair in a suit and wore glasses came in the office.
"Sir, it's time for the meeting," The man said.
"Ah of course, let's be on our way," The earl said.
"Yes my lord," The man said with a bow.
Ashford Academy
In Lelouch and Nunnally's residence, Lelouch was in his room and was in a foul mood. The source of his foul mood was the appearance of Nonette last night and how he was badly beaten by the Knight of Nine. Lelouch knew that had it not been for the intervention of CC and Kallen, he would have definitely been at Nonette's mercy. Lelouch thought about his Knightmare fight with Nonette and her Morgause. Lelouch angrily slammed his fist on the table.
"Damn," Lelouch said angrily.
Lelouch's cell phone suddenly vibrated and he looked over and saw the number. Lelouch recognized the number of the phone in the Black Knights' Mobile Base and he answered his phone.
"Hello?" Lelouch spoke, "Zero speaking."
The person spoke on the other line.
"Oh Jinta, it's you," Lelouch said, "Was there something you needed?"
Jinta said something to Lelouch and was surprised and raised an eyebrow.
"Wait, could you say that again?" Lelouch asked.
Nunnally walked by Lelouch's room and wondered as she heard Lelouch talking to Jinta and saw her brother's expression.
"I wonder what Jinta is calling Lelouch about?" Nunnally asked.
"Jinta?" CC asked.
Nunnally looked over to CC walking over and Nunnally nodded.
"Yeah, it seems that Jinta is the one that Lelouch is talking to right now," Nunnally said.
When CC heard that, she glanced to the side and frowned.
"Jinta, I told him to stay out of it," CC said quietly.
"Hmm, CC?" Nunnally spoke wondering what was making CC upset.
Meanwhile, Alice was on campus walking heading to a certain place. Alice was feeling very nervous and wondered what was going to happen. With the things she confessed to Nunnally yesterday, she wondered how things were going to go from there. Alice was sincere about breaking away from Colonel Madd and in extension, breaking away from VV and the 98th Britannian Emperor. So now Alice was on her way to Lelouch and Nunnally's residence within the campus.
"Nunnally told me that Lelouch will be able to tell if I'm being truthful or not," Alice said to herself, "I wonder how he'll be able to tell."
Alice wondered as she continued her way to see Lelouch and Nunnally.
Area 11 Government Bureau
Cornelia was her office and Nonette along with Euphie, Darlton, and Guilford were also in Cornelia's office. Cornelia, Guilford, and Darlton could not believe what they were hearing from Nonette and that was the events that had happened last night with the Refrain distribution with members of the police force involved and the fight between herself and Zero which resulted of Zero making his escape from Nonette.
"So Nonette," Cornelia said, "explain to me how you, the Knight of Nine, one of the strongest and skilled knights of the empire manage to have Zero escape from you."
Nonette simply sighed, "Like I just explained to you Nelly, I was caught off guard by the interference of Zero's lackeys. They hit me with a grenade and they got themselves and Zero away from while I was disoriented."
"It doesn't look good when a Knight of the Round gets outwitted like that," Guilford said.
Nonette glared at Guilford and it was not unnoticed and then Nonette raised her arms.
"I admit, I was careless," Nonette said, "but it was not a complete loss to me."
"Why do you say that?" Darlton asked.
"I got to see for myself on how Zero fights," Nonette said.
"How Zero fights?" Euphie asked.
"Yes but I must ask you Nelly," Nonette looked at Cornelia, "you're telling me that when you fought Zero and his Lionel, it didn't raise alarms with you?"
"What do you mean?" Cornelia responded with a glare.
Nonette just looked at Cornelia and just sighed and shook her head.
"Forget it," Nonette said, "If you don't get it, then there's no point."
Nonette started to walk away.
"Hold it Nonette, where are you going?" Cornelia asked a bit heated.
"I have a report to give to His Majesty," Nonette simply replied and then turned to face Cornelia with a curious expression, "is there a problem?"
Cornelia calmed down, "N-No, of course not."
"I am bothered," Euphie said.
"Bothered Your Highness?" Darlton asked.
"Oh yes, about the Refrain distribution," Nonette said, "and the fact that members of our own police force were involved."
Cornelia frowned at what she had just heard.
"I just can't believe this is," Cornelia said.
Nonette sighed again and shook her head.
"Viceroy, that drug was created in Britannia," Euphie said, "being distributed and overseen by several businessmen of Area 11."
"I think what more annoying is that it was happening under Clovis's watch," Nonette commented and she turned and looked at Cornelia, "and it happened under your watch as well Nelly."
"What, are you trying to say that I'm responsible for this?" Cornelia responded getting a bit defensive.
"Hmm, well the fact is that you didn't bother to really thoroughly investigate Refrain trail. Had you done that, you would have already picked up on it and already figure out who was involved. But no, instead Euphie had to do it because you refuse to consider the idea that fellow Britannians would commit something like this."
"W-Well I…" Cornelia spoke.
"Those bastards are the reasons why productivity here has seriously taken a dive. Nelly, you need to realize that Britannians are willing to commit crimes just as Elevens do. The sooner you do that, the sooner we can put a wrench in the Black Knights' activities. To show we won't blatantly tolerate corruption so that we snatch away legs that the Black Knights are standing on. We cannot allow the Black Knights to continue to gain anymore support," Nonette shrugged, "well, I suppose it will depend on if you take my advice or not. After all, you're the one in charge in this area and I'm here just for my assignment and to assist you which means that basically, you're the one who decides how you want to do things…unless His Majesty says otherwise for me to assert myself in this situation. Well anyways, I have to go make contact to Pendragon and give my report."
Nonette left and Cornelia was just silent and she clenched her fists and then she looked over to Euphie who a concerned expression and then Cornelia looked away from her younger sister.
"I have work to do," Cornelia said, "Guilford, Darlton."
"Yes Viceroy," Darlton said.
"Of course," Guilford said.
"Euphie," Cornelia said.
"Uh yes?" Euphie replied.
"…Thank you for what you did," Cornelia frowned, "I'll make sure those involved with the Refrain are severely punished. I won't allow them to get away with it."
"Oh, sure not a problem," Euphie replied, "just doing my part."
Cornelia looked at Euphie and then went over gently stroke her sister left cheek with a smile. Cornelia's action surprised Euphie.
"Yes of course," Cornelia said.
Ashford Academy
Alice arrived at the front of Lelouch and Nunnally's residence. The door opened and Sayoko appeared.
"Ah Lady Alice," Sayoko greeted.
"Hi Sayoko," Alice greeted back, "Is Nunnally and Lelouch in?"
"Yes, they're expecting you, if you will please follow me."
"Yes," Alice responded.
Alice followed Sayoko in the residence. Inside, they arrived in the common room where Lelouch and Nunnally were sitting in the table and they saw Alice and proceeded to stand up from their seats.
"Alice, thanks for coming," Nunnally said.
"Thanks for having me," Alice responded.
"I'll brew some tea," Sayoko said.
"Thank you Sayoko," Lelouch said.
Sayoko went in the kitchen and Lelouch signaled Alice to have a seat. Alice sat and Nunnally sat next to Alice while Lelouch sat across from them.
"Alice, it is my understanding that yesterday, you told my sister the truth about yourself," Lelouch said, "that you confessed to Nunnally that you're a Britannian soldier who was sent to spy on the Ashford family and determined whether or not they were conspiring with Nunnally and myself. You also revealed that you know the truth about us, that you know who we really are and that the emperor has known about our survival all along."
"That's right Lelouch," Alice said with a nod.
Lelouch sighed, "Nunnally told me everything that you told her including the lost of your sister and we can understand the pain of lost as you know we lost our mother."
"Yes, and heard that Lady Marianne who was known as Marianne the Flash was a great woman," Alice said.
"The question is that can you be trusted," Lelouch said, "Nunnally believes you and still thinks of you as her best friend."
"Absolutely and I mean it," Alice said with passion, "I know that it may be hard considering what I had confessed but I assure you that everything I said to Nunnally is true."
"Well, Nunnally seems to believe you and I want to believe you as well," Lelouch said, "so, with that, we'll find out if you're sincere and if you really told Nunnally everything."
"Do you have a way to see if I'm telling you the truth?" Alice asked.
"Yeah," Lelouch said.
Lelouch looked straight at Alice and activated his Geass.
Geass Order
VV was meeting with three girls who were agents that wore their uniforms of the Geass Order. The one in the middle had long jet black hair that went to her upper back and blue eyes. The one on the left was dark-skinned with short platinum hair and yellow eyes and the one on the right had long pale hair that had braided strands on both sides and had light green eyes. VV smiled as he looked at the three agents.
"It's time for you three to make your way to Area 11," VV said, "we know for sure that Alice will indeed go against us," VV gave a evil smile, "you three will deal with her."
"Yes Director VV!" The three female agents said in unison.
VV kept his smile and he nodded. On the other side, a man who wore a Britannian military uniform and was bald just looked on and he sported his nasty grin.
"My time will come," The man said with confidence.
