Ange's POV

It's been days since I fought against DRAGONs and the next thing I know is that my former maid, Momoka, came to Arzenal for a visit.

Momoka...

I've been cold and resentful to her when she arrived for she knew I was a Norma. Nevertheless, she tried to act like how she used to serve me, and still called me by my real name, Angelise.

Of course, I want nothing to do with my royal status anymore because I'm a Norma, so she should address me as Ange from now on than my real name.

On that morning, she turned my locker into a dressing closet, my dorm room into a royal bedroom, and most of all, gave me a royal meal.

That last thing she did was the last straw...

I approached the table, and I flipped the cloth to put down this meal she's trying to give me.

"Enough, already!" I exclaimed.

I was frustrated.

And angry.

"A-Angelise..." Momoka spoke, but I cut her off.

"My name isn't Angelise," how I hated of being called by my former real name. Sure, I don't have any problems with Lelouch calling me Ange before I was transported to Arzenal, but why can't Momoka call me that instead?

This is too frustrating for me.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Stop bothering me!"

I beat my fist to a table before I stormed off.

Lelouch's POV

As I saw what was going on from the camera I planted on Momoka's maid uniform in my quarters, I made a face palm.

"Maybe I shouldn't have sent her on that island in the first place. Not with her princess's attitude of hers," I look frustrated.

"Just give her some time, Lelouch," Sayoko appeared beside me. "After all, isn't that how acted toward me when I first took you in?"

As she said this, I remembered I was being cold on her when she first took me in, but I started to calmed down and treat her as an equal. Remembering this, I decided to reconsider my choice.

"Okay, I'll just see through this. After all, I just sent her on that island for a visit, that's all," I stated.

"Thank you for that choice," Sayoko smiled at me before leaving with her duties.

Let's see if Ange would be able to be friendly with her before the end of the day.

Ange's POV

After I fought DRAGONs on that night, it's time to say goodbye to Momoka tomorrow morning. I'm not around to say goodbye to her as I gathered my thoughts in my room.

Could this be what I wanted the most? Being alone once again exactly as Hilda said?

I know I've been cold and resentful to her for her part in keeping the truth from me about being a Norma, but that night before she is about leave me once again is so special.

That's it. I made my choice.

I went through my savings and I hope this lot of money in shopping bags are enough for me to buy her.

"Stop there!" I exclaimed.

I dropped the bags, and Emma looked surprised by this.

"What?" she said. "A Norma buying a human? With these tattered strips of paper? That's impossible."

"Fine," Jill agreed with my choice.

"What?"

"I'm calling off the transport. That girl is hers."

"C-Commander," Emma tried to protest. Of course, she never thought about this before.

"You can have anything with enough money," Jill said with a smile. "That's how it works here."

"I mean... Wait, please."

As they leave with the money, I turned to face Momoka. Even though I bought her, I was still frowning.

"I can stay here?" she asked me with relief. "I can stay here by you, Princess Angelise?"

"Ange," I turned away from her before facing her briefly. "My name is Ange."

As I walked back inside, she followed me happily.

"Yes, Angelise!"

Seriously, can't she call me Ange instead of Angelise?

Ange...

How ironic that Lelouch called me that as a nickname. When I was transported on this island, I was stripped of my former name to get this nickname from here on out.

Anyway, if she still wants to call me Angelise, forget about what I just said back there. She can call me by my former real name as long as she wants now that she's on my side for the rest of my life.

Speaking of Lelouch, I wonder how's he doing as of now.

Lelouch's POV

I watched the event through the camera, and that is quite an event.

"Exactly as planned," I said.

That's right. I knew Ange would try to buy her eventually, and she did exactly what I wanted her to do. After all, she will not be alone from here on out while I'm busy with my activities in Misurugi.

I hope to see Momoka again so I can use my Geass on her if any complications will arise.

Author's Note: How amazing of switching between Lelouch and Ange's points of view. Of course, that's because the latter is the deuteragonist of my story. Let's see about Sylvia's point of view in a sooner chapter because she's the tritagonist of the story.
