Chapter 13 Mao's Mind Games
I don't own Code Geass. Anything I use is property of its creators. Anything I use from other sources is also their property.
AN: I'm so sorry this took so long guys. I'm not the planning type with my stories and I write on inspiration and this story was a lot harder to create then I care for. You guys don't deserve to be forced to wait this long and I hope that I at least make up for it slightly with a good chapter. I'm going to do my best to give you another update soon because you guys deserve it for sticking with me.
The battle between Lelouch and Maou continues.
(Unknown Location)
Because of what happened with his mother, Lelouch absolutely hated his father with a passion. However, even he had to admit that his father introducing his children to chess was the best thing that could've happened to him. Without the game he would've likely starved years ago and even now a primary source of the Black Knights income was via chess. A smiling Lelouch found himself in an office building in the middle of the Settlement with C.C by his side about to face off against yet another noble who called him in for a match with high stakes. "I've heard so much about you from other people, I must confess that I didn't expect somebody so unimpressive. To think that the underground chess world is under siege from a school boy" The large noble sneered. He was around 50 years old with fair skin and patches of black hair dressed in a gaudy brown and orange suit with brown pants.
"Can we just play" Lelouch groaned as C.C stayed behind him. People like this were particularly fun to beat and that was exactly what Lelouch intended to do.
"Yes and after the day is done, you will no longer be an issue" the noble sneered as he got out the chess board.
"Yes and I'll take black" Lelouch smiled as they game began with the other man moving first. What made chess such a great game was that there was no way to cheat and because of that anybody could learn it and anybody could master it with enough practice. Lelouch preferred black because it forced the opponent to move first and that way he could see how they thought and act against them. It worked brilliantly against nearly every member of his family besides his brother Schneizel. Ironically enough Schneizel always chose white because he was the one who liked to make the first move since it allowed him to dictate the pace. As for this match, it was clear early on that Lelouch would be victorious. The only question left was when the match would end.
"Damn you schoolboy" the noble cursed as not even 5 minutes into the match he was trapped in one of his strategies. The noble was an arrogant fool and Lelouch didn't even need to try to beat him.
"Shall we call this my victory" Lelouch smirked as he moved his queen into checkmate winning the game.
"Impossible. How can such a brat be so good at this?" the noble cursed.
"Maybe you just stink" C.C said happily finally moving from her spot and draping her arms around Lelouch putting her head right off his left shoulder. It was true in multiple ways. Not only was the man horrible at chess but his body odor was repugnant. C.C and Lelouch both agreed the sooner they were away from this man the better.
Lelouch turned towards the verdette and kissed her on the cheek before turning to the noble he just easily defeated. "I expect the money to be sent to my account by the end of the day." Lelouch smiled as C.C moved from her position so Lelouch could get up. After receiving the money he made his way out of the building and went to where Rivalz was waiting to take them back to Ashford. The match was a welcome distraction from a Maou problem that he had yet to solve much to his growing irritation. The tactical battle in this case was very much like one of his chess matches but Mao's Geass allowed him to dictate the pace and Lelouch hated it.
(Scene Skip)
A smiling Lelouch sat in his office at the Black Knights base the next day with a smile on his face as he went over some papers with Kallen underneath his desk giving him a blowjob as he went over some e-mails that he had to deal with. If chess was his favorite activity having sex and everything that came with it was a close second and Kallen was by far his favorite lover. His good mood quickly faded due to the latest e-mail since it was one he by all means shouldn't have received. "Damn him" Lelouch cursed.
"What's wrong Lelouch" Kallen said nervously from under the desk stopping her ministrations briefly.
"When I brought Diethard into our organization, his first task was to give me the names and contact information of the men in charge of all the major news outlets and radio stations that broadcast in Area 11 including the name of the person who replaced him" Lelouch explained.
Kallen was well aware their fun was coming to an end so she slid Lelouch's member back into his pants before moving from her spot underneath the desk and standing in front of him, "Why would you do that?" Kallen questioned.
"Two reasons. The first is that Britannia uses the mass media to only show their good side to the masses and I simply sought to do the same thing with the Black Knights. The second reason was to control the information about my personal life ever getting out. I used my Geass on each person individually and ordered them to get my approval first if they received any story about the Black Knights or one involving me and C.C" Lelouch replied.
"What did the e-mail say" Kallen wondered nervously since Lelouch's annoyance was clearly a result of a dangerous e-mail.
"Somebody took a photo of me and C.C walking out of one of our chess games and sent it to a newspaper suggesting they use this for an article if they wanted to make major money. If that photo reached the public eye, not only will C.C be exposed but so will I and that would be a disaster." Lelouch explained calmly trying to hide the annoyance he felt. He was positive that there was nobody watching him as he arrived in the building and he must've been so eager to leave the building that he wasn't focused.
Kallen paled briefly before remembering that as long, "So now the question is who sent the photo" Kallen wondered. If he was exposed that would cause him a great deal of trouble.
He was positive that Mao was the one who took the photo, but since he couldn't find the man. He couldn't do anything to counter him. "I already know who did it, but for now I'll leave it alone." Lelouch replied knowing that Kallen would not be happy.
"I see." Kallen frowned aware of what that meant. For Lelouch to not act meant that this was the work of that Mao person that C.C mentioned to them. Based on what C.C was saying, Mao presented a major threat to Lelouch if he didn't do anything about it, but Lelouch clearly was taking a live and let live approach to the situation. It was a bit reckless, but she wasn't going to say anything since Lelouch's attitude had worked fairly well so far.
A smiling Lelouch kissed Kallen on the cheek well aware of her concerns, "I'll be just fine Kallen. This is simply somebody playing a game of chess with me." Lelouch replied with a wry smile in order to calm his most loyal soldier and loyal lover.
"Okay" Kallen said happily as she left the room with a calm expression on her face. Lelouch was a monster at chess and from what she knew he almost never lost.
Once she was gone, Lelouch returned to his desk with a slump since Mao was clearly going to make more moves against him and there was only so much he could do to stop him. He would have to wait until Mao moved directly against him before doing something and that was not how he liked to do things
(Scene Skip)
A smiling Lelouch made his way towards the council's office after a calm day of class and ready for another meeting with the council. By now Mao will have realized that his first attempt failed and that meant the ball was once again in Mao's court. "I wonder what he'll try next" Lelouch chuckled as he entered the office and sat down with the Student council in order to discuss school business. Maybe dealing with the mundane problems of Ashford would be good for him.
"So Lelouch, I hear that C.C has quite the nasty stalker and he's gone after you." Milly said with a smile which caused Lelouch to twitch heavily. He really didn't want to discuss Mao since he was a headache that had nothing to do with Britannia and thus wasn't too important to the group.
"Yes but I have it under control Milly dear. No need for you or the others to act." Lelouch replied calmly before his phone rang. "Hold that thought" Lelouch replied when he noticed it was Kallen.
"Umm, we have a slight problem." Kallen said bashfully.
"What happened?" Lelouch wondered nervously. Kallen was supposed to be at the base handling Black Knight business. If she was calling him now, that meant that something that required his immediate attention occurred and that wasn't good.
"Tamaki took some of the new recruits out for dinner yesterday and they were approached by your buddy Mao." Kallen said nervously knowing Lelouch wouldn't take that news well.
"What did Mao say" Lelouch frowned. Mao's ability to read minds made him formidable and an idiot like Tamaki was the best possible opponent for him.
"He told the new recruits that Zero doesn't have the best interests of the Japanese in mind and that they should request to see your face. His logic was how can you follow somebody if you don't know who they are?" Kallen explained.
"And Tamaki naturally told them that I would do it." Lelouch twitched heavily. Mao's logic wasn't wrong and admittedly that was a problem when he first made contact with Kallen's group, and up until the events with Kirihara he was certain the problem would've continued.
"That's right and that means you'll have to show yourself to more people. I wish I could've stopped him." Kallen said with regret in her voice.
"No worries. It's a minor annoyance and I'll deal with it in due time." Lelouch replied knowing what a headache it was going to be. Sure he would ultimately do it, but he hated unnecessary things. It was the reason he trusted the handling of recruits to somebody else.
"Alright" Kallen replied as Lelouch was forced to hang up.
"So much for under control" Milly smiled deviously knowing that Lelouch was having more trouble than he cared for.
"I still have it under control Milly. Meeting some of the new recruits is something I can easily do. I do have to punish Tamaki rather heavily for his stupidity though." Lelouch replied.
"Well since the new recruits want to meet Zero. Why don't you go see them now? You know the longer you wait the more suspicious they'll become." Milly smiled.
"Are you sure. What about the council." Lelouch questioned.
"We'll be fine Lulu. You deal with your knights." Shirley insisted.
"Alright" Lelouch smiled and he called Kallen back and told the recruits they would be meeting Zero.
(Scene Skip)
An annoyed Lelouch returned to his home at Ashford after the long meeting with a massive headache. The meeting itself was simple, but the endless questions from the recruits drove him up a wall. If it weren't for the fact he needed the manpower he'd probably have gotten rid of half of them.
"The life of a leader is sometimes harsh isn't it?" C.C smiled appearing out of nowhere like a ghost yet again.
"I was doing fairly well until your little boy toy came along. I'm lucky that I prepared for so many of these situations or I'd be in deep trouble right now" Lelouch slumped into his chair. He had to admit that Mao's actions were fairly impressive thus far. Going after Shirley and Suzaku, targeting his chess games, and even using the recruitment dinners to get to him. Mao was trying to get him to lose composure and he was on the verge of doing just that.
C.C could see that Mao was getting to Lelouch and decided to help him out in her own way. "Well how about we take a chance to have a little fun of our own. Mao's made all of these moves to get you to lose your head so maybe it's time to do the same" C.C said with a wicked grin on her face.
"What do you have in mind" Lelouch said as a smile of his own threatened to form. If C.C had a plan to get to Mao he was certainly not going to say no particularly since C.C was so good at getting to him.
(Scene Skip)
Fortunately for Lelouch the next day was Saturday which meant they had a perfect opportunity to get at Mao without school getting in the way. He was dressed in a casual purple button down shirt with black pants and some sneakers along with some sunglasses to hide his eyes. C.C was dressed in a green halter crop top with straps wrapped around her neck that generously showed off her impressive cleavage and a pair of pink shorts that barely went above her rear along with a green hat that somehow hid all of her hair. "We're really going to do this huh" Lelouch smiled knowing that C.C came up with a crazy plan. Lelouch and C.C were going to have sex on the train and as long as Lelouch controlled the crowd, they would have a perfect way to annoy Mao since he desired C.C as much as anything.
"That's right. Once we do what we've come to do, Mao will go crazy because he'll hear about it via the minds of the people who see us." C.C smiled as the two got on the train and moved to the opposite side.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Lelouch smiled as the train began to move.
"That's right and soon you will too. Especially since you're about to experience something Mao could only dream of." C.C smiled as she spun around so she was facing the opposite window of the train and Lelouch was behind him.
"I've already experienced it quite a few times but whatever." Lelouch smiled.
"Just get to it." C.C frowned since it ruined the moment.
LEMON START:
Lelouch pressed his body against C.C's before reaching underneath her arms so he could grope her breasts above her shirt. "These are quite lovely." Lelouch whispered into her ear before teasing C.C with a nibble to her right ear.
"Yes… and they're all yours" C.C moaned playing along with his teasing.
"I'm going to make you feel things you haven't felt before my dear." Lelouch continued as he teased her body with his hands. As C.C's moans grew in size the people around them started to take notice and rather predictably started to act.
"What are you doing on a public train" an older man said angrily.
A smiling Lelouch turned towards the man with a dull expression and took off his glasses to expose his Geass, "This is my girlfriend and she wanted to try public sex. Why don't you guys help us out by making sure nobody can see us? Of course if you have to leave by all means go ahead" Lelouch smirked as his Geass roared to life and hypnotized everybody on the train. Fortunately for him none of the people on the train had dealt with his Geass before and the fun was able to start without too much trouble.
"Yes sir" the crowd roared as a group of men created a shield around them so nobody saw what they were doing, at least for the moment.
"Now where were we?" Lelouch smiled wickedly since the crowd was now in his favor.
"You were going to make me feel amazing things." C.C said with a sultry voice.
"Yes I was." Lelouch smirked snaking his hands inside her top and groping her breasts with no mercy at all.
"Ahh!" C.C moaned again but they were forced to stop as they arrived at the next station. Fortunately for them, the people that made up their shield had all stayed on so the new people weren't aware of the foreplay happening underneath their noses. When the train resumed C.C's breasts were once again under siege from Lelouch's hands while his tongue slid across her neck making for an extremely sensual scene. It was taking every ounce of willpower that C.C had not to moan since it was a bit too soon to get more people involved.
"How about we take this to the next level?" Lelouch smiled stopping his assault on C.C's breasts just for his right hand to reach for the pink shorts she was wearing in order to tease her lower half as well.
"You're enjoying this way too much Lelouch." C.C moaned as his teasing resumed yet again.
"Yes I am and we're going to have a whole new group of guests who will see how kinky you are." Lelouch smiled. As they moved towards the next stop C.C's up and lower half were relentlessly teased by the young Prince and both were slowly getting used to the public sex and both wanted to do more. Soon it was time for yet another stop and another test of the public's reaction.
Lelouch was simply too good at this and she loved it. Her original Geass made her desire love and although she had many partners over the years, none were as skilled with her body as Lelouch was proving to be. The way he hit all the right spots when he fondled her lower half was almost miraculous and she was holding as much back as she could because she wanted to enjoy herself a little bit longer. She got her reprieve when they reached the next stop since she wasn't the only one who was getting excited.
"It's showtime C.C" Lelouch smiled sliding C.C's panties onto the floor and taking the chance to undo his own pants. It was time for the moment of truth and since the barrier gave them protection from the people but also from the train's constant movements they could have some incredibly kinky fun.
Reaching back towards the burning hot member C.C couldn't help but shudder in anticipation, "You're far too hard for somebody who wasn't completely on board with this earlier" C.C teased.
"What can I say, this type of forbidden play is more fun than I thought." Lelouch chuckled as he slid into C.C's warm entrance once again.
"Ahh" C.C moaned out loud and that was when everything changed. A lot of people got off at the latest stop so the train was filled with a lot less people compared to before. C.C's moans were impossible to hear before but now it was a much easier task.
"You bastard what are you doing to this girl" an eager young man roared from outside of the barrier. That was the cue for the barrier to disperse slightly in order to allow Lelouch to address the man.
"My girlfriend she enjoys really kinky stuff." Lelouch smiled as he continued to move inside C.C. He was lucky that he did a small bit of training himself because keeping his balance was becoming difficult as he thrusted inside C.C she was just that tight and it was taking a lot more effort to stay upright.
"You're lying." The man protested noticing that he was being blocked up until now.
"No I'm fine. I'm into stuff like this. God he's so good" C.C moaned causing the man to look at her in shock. It was time for Lelouch to pick up the speed and do so he did and more people began to notice them as C.C's moans circulated around the car.
Look at them go."
"Lucky bastard. She's hot"
"Nobles have all the fun"
"The guy is kinda cute too."
"Yeah and his dick is huge."
The various words from the crowd only spurned the two on further and when the train stopped again he was able to move C.C to some seats so they could continue their fun and give a much tastier show to the crowd grabbing the discarded clothes in the process to ensure nobody got any funny ideas. Nobody could see their faces which was all that mattered.
"Are you ready for more babe, because I sure am." Lelouch smiled as he sat down on the bench
"Of course" C.C replied and soon the watching crowd got to enjoy C.C bouncing on Lelouch's member like it was the best thing in the world and for C.C it was.
"Now why don't you all just watch and enjoy"Lelouch smiled knowing that the crowd was his. It was only made better by C.C bouncing on his shaft while his hands teased her breasts. Lelouch took a moment to enjoy the crowds gaze as they watched him drill into C.C as the young woman's face lit up with pleasure. Just like when he was Zero, the crowd was on him and he loved that attention.
"You're so good. I'm going to cum soon." C.C cried out her limit finally arriving, "Then cum for me baby. I'm about to cum too" Lelouch smiled happily. This was far kinkier then he originally planned and that wasn't exactly a bad thing.
A few minutes later and with the crowd watching on, C.C reached her limit, "I'm cumming" C.C cried out and as her juices hit the train floor Lelouch's seed shot into her pussy and the crowd couldn't help, but wonder what would happen next.
"MORE we want MORE" the crowd urged but sadly the announcement of the next stop ruined any suggestion of that.
"Sorry everyone but that's enough for one day." Lelouch smiled as he pulled out of a stunned C.C and reached for his discarded outfit. Their fun was over and it was time to go home and see how Mao reacted next.
LEMON END
(Scene Skip)
"Lelouch, I don't know whether to call you crazy or crazy lucky." Rivalz chuckled as they drove towards his newest chess match not even a day after his latest stunt. Even without the video of the event word of the lovers on the train had spread like wildfire. Since their faces were hidden so well nobody was able to connect it to them but C.C's eyes were so unique that Mao surely would've noticed and acted on it.
"Call me whatever you want Rivalz, but I'm pretty sure my stunt worked like a charm." Lelouch chuckled. As for today's activity, the noble he beat with C.C by his side was back for a rematch and it almost certainly meant he had prepared a more suitable opponent for him. Lelouch was confident that opponent was actually Mao in disguise and he could deal with him in person for once.
"There's one problem with your plan Lelouch. This Mao guy can read minds and chess is as mental a game as there is. How are you going to beat him?" Rivalz wondered.
It was actually a very good question and one that would've bothered him had he not been prepared. Admittedly, if Lelouch wasn't aware of Mao's power, the task would've proven impossible since he could manipulate his mind easily by his actions. However, since he knew what Mao was capable of it was a different story. "I'll simply play on instinct" Lelouch replied. He had played chess for long that he could play on instinct alone. As they arrived at the sight and walked through Lelouch wasn't surprised to see Mao on the other side smiling as though he saw this coming.
"When I heard that I was hired to face a strong opponent I expected somebody like the famous Black King, not some school boy" Mao cackled trying to hide his connection to Lelouch and rile him up at the same time. He was fortunate that he ran into the noble on the street the night before and was able to convince the man to help him since indirect attacks had failed thus far.
"Yes I am. Shall we get started?" Lelouch smiled without flinching at the clear shot at him. Mao was far from the first person to question him due to his nature as a schoolboy and he found that it only made his victories more enjoyable.
"Of course" Mao replied and the game began. Mao made the first move and as Lelouch begin to move, Mao attempted to read his mind in order to figure out his strategy, but he found something entirely different waiting for him.
'C.C definitely enjoyed sex on the train. I wonder if the others would enjoy something like that.' Lelouch thought up as the game began. Ironically enough, Mao wasn't aware of the stunt with C.C due to his plans, but now that he was his composure quickly faded. "Are you alright buddy? It's your move and you only have a little bit of time." Lelouch smiled aware of what his foe was thinking.
"I'm fine" Mao replied and made a move. The match continued and Mao kept losing the actual game and the mind game. 'Are you alright Mao? I know you're probably furious that I'm enjoying your precious C.C but you should stay focused on the game or you'll get stomped.' Lelouch thought towards the man.
'You little bastard you'll pay for this.' Mao thought to himself but his outward thoughts were very different. "You're extremely good." Mao replied trying to keep his cool but struggling as more of his pieces were taken.
"Thank you. I've been playing for so long that it's practically instinctive." Lelouch replied with a wicked smile causing Mao to twitch even more.
'This little bastard. He's not thinking about his moves and doing it on pure instinct.' Mao cursed realizing why his Geass wasn't giving him a perfect advantage. "That makes sense. I'm sure you've played hundreds of games in your head." Mao replied hoping that Lelouch would give him a scenario that would help him win. Sadly it didn't work.
'Yes I can and unfortunately for you. This particular game is about to end." Lelouch smiled as he moved another piece into position. "Check".
"I'm not done yet" Mao replied with a smile as he moved to counter Lelouch's check.
"Yes you are" Lelouch smiled since he layered a trap for Mao and the man fell for it perfectly. "Checkmate" Lelouch smiled victoriously knowing that Mao's mind games had failed.
A nervous Mao looked on as the noble that hired him for the match frowned heavily. He was paid a lot of money to win this match and Mao assured the man that he would win to the point of putting himself on the line. "Congratulations" Mao said bitterly knowing that he'd have to put his pursuit on hold till he dealt with the annoying noble.
"Yes, congratulations are once again in order. Please take this as proof of your victory." The noble said reluctantly as he handed yet another briefcase to Lelouch.
"Thank you and this one was an excellent opponent." Lelouch smiled as he handed Rivalz the briefcase and made his way back. On his way out he couldn't help but look at the poor Mao and smile aware that this particular noble would make his life miserable for some time if not outright kill him. The man used Elevens as slaves in some of his factories and there was no doubt in his mind that Mao would be in for it for some time and out of his hair.
(Scene Skip)
As the sun rose on another day in Area 11 Lelouch couldn't be happier if he tried. A week had passed since his defeat of Maou and the madman's threat appeared to be over. In addition to his newfound success over Mao, his love life took a very interesting turn. The other girls in his life were envious of C.C's public sex experience and wanted a taste for a risker type of intercourse. Shirley opted for sex in the swimming club locker room right before practice and Lelouch was more than happy to oblige. Milly had the bright idea to pick a day to do the student council's announcements with Lelouch's member in her velvet grasp as she did so and that days announcements was particularly kinky. Unsurprisingly, Kallen chose to do so in his office in the middle of one of their training days. Ironically, they were discovered by Inoue who was looking for Kallen at the time and when she gave them grief Kallen told her about what happened. Naturally she wanted in, and she chose having sex in knightmare of all things. While it was extremely kinky, he had to make sure that her sexual fluids only got on the seats instead of on any equipment. That kinkiness only grew due to the fact that Tamaki was forced to clean the knightmare frames inside and out for a whole month as punishment for his mistake with Maou. That meant that he would be unknowingly cleaning up the result of his tryst with one of the old guard.
"You're in a good mood." A smiling C.C said next to him. The verdette was tired of public sex but like Lelouch she had taken great delight in Mao's defeat.
"Yes I am. Mao is out of the way. The Black Knights are proceeding smoothly and right now we're in great shape." Lelouch smiled as he got out of bed in order to enjoy himself.
"Don't let your guard down Lelouch. Mao's power means that as long as the noble doesn't kill him, he can be a threat." C.C warned. To be able to track her after all this time, meant that the man had endured quite a bit. There was no telling what he would do to Lelouch if given the chance.
"Alright but let's focus on class for now. We can worry about Mao later" Lelouch smiled as he got dressed. Things were going beautifully and he was pretty sure that there was nothing that could get in his way at this point.
(Scene Skip)
Later that day Lelouch was sitting in his office going over the latest raid data for the Black Knights when he got a phone call from Jeremiah of all people, "Master Lelouch we may have a situation." Jeremiah said nervously.
"What happened?" Lelouch said nervously. Jeremiah almost never contacted him directly and if he was that meant he had a major problem.
"Princess Euphemia has been kidnapped." Jeremiah revealed.
"What!" Lelouch said angrily.
"A group of my men were sent to arrest a noble who had been using slave labor illegally and Euphemia joined them on recommendation from the Princess."
"That noble wouldn't happen to be fifty years old and fat would he." Lelouch questioned.
"Yes he was. Why do you ask?" Jeremiah replied and the color drained from Lelouch's face since he realized what happened.
"Because I think I know who was behind the kidnapping." Lelouch frowned. Somehow Mao managed to find an opening and kidnapped Euphemia from underneath the men's noses. This was a disaster and it wouldn't take long to discover the connection to him.
There was a pause where Jeremiah no doubt wondered what was going through Lelouch's head but it didn't matter this point. "So what do you want me to do" Jeremiah requested.
"I want you to ensure that Cornelia focuses on the noble. He'll be a useless patsy but as long as she's distracted I can deal with the real problem." Lelouch explained. Mao was involved there was no doubt about it and that meant that he would be targeting him soon enough.
"Of course. I assume Princess Euphemia is okay." Jeremiah questioned.
"Yes she is. She's an innocent bystander in all of this." Lelouch revealed. How long it would stay that way depended on how he handled matters.
"Alright. Good luck my lord." Jeremiah replied before hanging up.
This was an absolute disaster and if Mao is involved that meant he really had to be smart. As long as Cornelia would be focused on the noble would help things out. Quickly focusing on the loudspeaker he decided to call on his two biggest allies. "Kallen Kozuki and Nina Einstein please report to my office immediately." Lelouch announced. This was about to get ugly and he knew it.
(Scene Skip)
Kallen was definitely nervous as she walked over to her secret lover's office. For him to call her and Nina over specifically, meant that something major had taken place but not one involving the Black Knights. Opening the office, she found that Nina was already there and Lelouch had as close to a look of fury as was possible on his face. "What happened?" Kallen asked nervously almost afraid of the answer.
"Euphy was kidnapped and by Mao." Lelouch said with a look of pure rage on his face.
Kallen and Nina both choked up realizing what a problem they had, "H-how is that possible." Kallen gasped. She assumed that Lelouch had dealt with the man since there were no more incidents.
"As you already know one of my chess opponents hired Mao as a ringer in order to finally beat me an. The man was known for using Elevens as slave labor and did the same thing to Mao. Annoyingly enough the Britannians went after him and Mao must've noticed Euphemia and acted" Lelouch explained.
"That's bad. Princess Cornelia will not take the news well." Nina said with a knowing look of worry.
"No she won't. Fortunately she'll be focused on the Noble and his cohorts instead of on Mao. That means we have a small window to act." Lelouch said calmly trying to gather himself.
Both girls gathered themselves realizing that this was a job for the Council of change moreso then the Black Knights, "So what do you need us to do?" Nina asked as she stood at attention.
"Nina I want you to use your Geass to create spy drones that look like regular birds and send them throughout the city. The moment we find Mao's location I want to know." Lelouch ordered.
"What about me." Kallen asked calmly.
"Inform everyone that the raid tonight is cancelled and all raids are put on hold until further notice. Cornelia will not be in a playful mood and I don't want her to take her rage out on us." Lelouch replied. It wouldn't take long for Cornelia to realize that the man wasn't involved and she would naturally turn to the Knights. They had to play this very carefully and he knew it.
"Yes Sir" the two girls announced before leaving a stressed out Lelouch to his musing.
"Damn you Mao. Damn you." Lelouch cursed. This was pure coincidence and honestly there wasn't much he could do to stop it. Now Euphemia was in danger and he had to play this very carefully. The time for Mind games was over. Now it was time to attack and Lelouch was definitely going to make the man pay.
That's it for Chapter 13 and I hope you guys liked it. This was far more difficult to churn out then I thought and considering my love for Code Geass I thought I'd have it to you much sooner. Either way I hope the train scene and the Euphemia twist were enough to make up for it. Next chapter the final confrontation begins but Lelouch certainly won't be doing this one alone.
