Turn 3.3
Thankfully, this apparently isn't the first time that some woman had decided to deck Tamaki for running his mouth.
Kallen gave CC a fist-bump in solidarity.
I wisely decide not to mention to Kallen that CC was clearly checking her out.
Tokyo Junkyard is a ugly area. Not as bad as the ghettos. But not a place you'd bring someone for a date.
Fortunately, that also means I can finally make a call I've holding off on doing.
"Villetta, is Jeremiah Gottwald with you?"
"Yes milord."
I smile as I don the Zero mask. "Put him on. Tell him it's an urgent tip."
I hear her speaking to Jerry. Given the dismissal, he's clearly busy and dubious of an anonymous tip. Time to let him know this one isn't a gag.
"Tell him I know about Prince Clovis's face."
They hadn't aired anything about HOW he was killed or the condition. Partly because of how gruesome his death was. And also partly because they had already lied about how he was killed, anyway.
If Suzaku could actually get a decent lawyer and a fair trial? The prosecution would be disbarred for their incompetence.
There wouldn't have been enough time for him to get to Clovis and then back to Camelot's trailer, even if he had wanted to kill him.
Moreover, Suzaku had been arrested at work in the original timeline. He couldn't have hidden the evidence from Lloyd.
And not even the Purists could scapegoat Schneizel's top researcher and a noble.
Ah, there's Jeremiah. Judging by his yelling for Villetta to hand him the phone, he's savvy enough to understand the Damocles sword I hold over the Purists.
If what really happened to Clovis were to leak, it would destroy their case. And if the public realizes they had actually tried to scapegoat a regicide?
The Purist organization would have a lynch mob after them.
"Who are you?! What do you mean when you said you know about the Prince's face?"
"I know about the Prince, because I know you have the wrong man."
Dead silence.
"I'll see you executed by firing squad!"
"I also know something else, Guardsman Gottwald. The truth about the Aries Villa incident."
Judging by the bang I just heard, his desk likely has a dent in it now.
"HOW DARE YOU BESMIRCH THE NAME OF LADY MARIANNE?!"
"I besmirch nothing. The Emperor covered up the trail of the real assassin. During Prince Lelouch's last game with you, he began with the King and ended with Knight 2 to D5."
Lelouch is so obsessive about that game, it's ridiculous. Oddly enough, I was a terrible chess player before. My, how things change.
"H-h-how could you know that?" he whispers.
"I know many things. I will make you an offer: if you allow Kewell Soresi to lead the parade for Suzaku Kururugi, and allow yourself to be taken hostage, I will tell you where the Vi Britannias are."
A gasp. He's torn between his loyalty and his duty.
"What guarantee do I have that you will not renege or that this is not a base deception?" He sneers.
Reasonable. Something to sweeten the pot then.
"Princess Nunnally has violet eyes and dark blonde hair. She and Princess Euphemia used to argue about who would marry Prince Lelouch."
Inside information. Only those close to the Vi Britannia family who were around the children regularly would know that. Gottwald is one of the last remaining guardsmen. The only way a rando could possibly know this would be...
He's in tears, judging by the sounds on the phone.
"Can it truly be...? My master and mistress live?"
"Yes Jeremiah Gottwald. Fulfill our bargain, and the Purist faction can survive. And you will meet the prince and princess."
"Very well. But if you have lied, I will do to you what the Japanese did to my master and mistress!"
"It was not Japan that attempted to kill them. It was Britannia."
I hang up as he starts yelling for me to explain.
CC leans onto my shoulder. "Will it work?"
I shrug, running a hand down her back. "I'm stacking the deck, regardless. CC, how good are you with a sniper rifle?"
She lifts my chin with a finger. "I used to spar with your mother. Never beat her, but I still managed to give her a run for her money. Does that answer your question?"
I whistle. "What do I have to do to get you in a Knightmare Frame and cover me during the parade?"
She smirks and grabs my crotch, squeezing gently.
"You've teased me enough. I think we've put this off long enough."
Fuuuuuck. Kallen and Ohgi are going to be here soon. But part of me simply doesn't care.
I've honestly been teasing her a lot. Also, getting this operation set up right was taking up my time.
I take off the helmet, and dip her as I taste her succulent lips.
I lift her leg as I growl, pressing her against me.
Judging by the pleased moan she's letting into my mouth, we're both going to enjoy this immensely.
She wraps her legs around me as I lick her cheek slowly.
I lift her ass with my hands as I squeeze.
This ass is MINE.
And judging by her grabbing me around the same area, she's staking her own claim.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
...GODDAMMIT OHGI! I grimace as I jam the mask back on and step back from CC...only for her to grab my cock and squeeze firmly.
"This is mine," she hisses into my ear.
"And after we save Suzaku, you're finishing what you started."
I smirk beneath my mask, as I tease her labia by gently rubbing the crotch of her outfit.
"And this is mine," I purr in her ear.
Yeah, neither of us is going to walk tomorrow.
Thankfully, Kallen and Ohgi didn't see any of this.
I straighten my outfit out as I stride out.
It's so nice to be able to hide a hard-on under a cape.
"Well, just you two?"
Ohgi is apologetic. "If you give us more time..." he says, rubbing his neck.
"No, this is enough."
Naturally, they think the plan is fucking batshit. But thanks to my charisma and the promise of cover fire via CC, they acquiesce.
All tasks at hand have been cleared.
Happy holidays, you sick bastards.
Short bit, but I felt you all deserved something.
