Lelouch's POV
I reformed Sylvia, and it's successful. I taught her how to fight, and it's successful.
"Now, listen up," I called on the entire staff on a meeting by the briefing room. Of course, Suzaku is included, and so does Sylvia. "I come up with a good plan to take down Julio. However, I'm going to save Ange some trouble so she can take some anger out on him."
"What's the plan, Lelouch?" Suzaku asked.
"Tusk has been spying on the leaders of the Mana city. I'm thinking of... making assassinations on those guys," was I could say before I noticed they looked shocked in disagreement.
"Are you nuts, Lelouch?!" Jeremiah exclaimed on my idea as he grabbed me on the collar of my school uniform.
"I agree with Jeremiah. If you think about doing that move..." Suzaku also criticized.
"I'll explain more if you let me go!" I demand Jeremiah to let me go and he did. I catch my breath. "Don't worry, I'm not assigning assassinations on all of the leaders of the Mana world. I'm thinking of saving Julio for Ange."
I pushed a red button and a screen pulls out to show the six leaders of that world.
"I'm thinking of only killing the Galia Emperor, Enderant Union President, Marmeria Republic General Secretary, and Velda Dynasty Queen. Besides the fact I decided to spare that Clovis-lookalike because Ange wants his head, the Rosenblum Kingdom King will also be spared because he's Misty's father. Isn't that right, Misty?"
"That's right, Lelouch," the girl that was my pawn replied. I got seven pawns, and I needed one more, but who?
"Anyway, do you think that's a good idea, Lelouch? I mean, without the leaders..." Suzaku protested on my idea.
"There will be chaos. I get it, but it will only be delayed because I know there will be replacements. At least it will give us plenty of time to teach those Mana user bastards," I explained before I decided to give some assassination assignments. "Now, for the assassinations, Sylvia and I will kill the Galia Emperor and Enderant Union President. Jeremiah, you'll handle the Marmeria Republic General Secretary, and you, Sayoko, will handle the Velda Dynasty Queen. Understand?"
"As you wish," Jeremiah said.
"Understood," Sayoko added.
"Good. That will be all," I said as the meeting is over.
Just as Sylvia and I were about to go to our aircraft to do two assassinations, she started a conversation.
"Lelouch..." she called and I got her attention. "Your training sessions for me, why didn't you include of using Mana?"
"You mean like shooting beams?" I asked.
"Something like that."
"Because, Sylvia, in order to make amends with your big sister, you must think like her, and she doesn't use Mana. Anyway, I share the same thinking as hers. The Mana people are evil because of their abuse towards Norma, who are just decent girls. Your training session is for you to not rely on Mana. I mean, what if you can't use that power anymore?"
"You mean something like that would happen?" she asked with confusion.
"Well, there's gotta be a source why people like you use that power," I replied. "And also why did your brother made such propaganda that Norma people are a threat when they're just people."
"I see..."
At least she is beginning to understand what we're fighting for. Soon enough, Ange will be included.
We flew to the Galia Empire fast enough that we landed near the castle where we will kill the emperor of the land. We hid on a bush to begin our move.
"Remember your training, Sylvia," I said. "What will you do about two guards in the front door?"
"I knock them down," Sylvia replied.
"Exactly. You knock them down," I ordered her and she will do it.
She got out of the bush and start kicking one guard in the knee and punching him in the face, while jumping to the other guard and kick his head. For a little girl, she seemed to fight big guys like them.
"Very good, Sylvia. Very good," I come out of the bush to applaud, and then I pat her head.
It's a good thing I managed to pick the lock of the front door. We use stealth to avoid the guards that are hanging around here. At last, there is the emperor's bedroom where he is sleeping. It's time to kill him.
"Now, Sylvia, how do you kill this guy without raising an alarm?" I gave my new protege another question.
"Um, since he is sleeping, I'll smother him with a pillow," she replied.
"Very good. You kill him. I'll kill the Enderant Union President."
She grabbed a pillow and started smothering the emperor until there is no life from this guy.
First assassination complete.
Now, we head to the Enderant Union where the president is holding a bachelor party. Good thing we're not attending the party as we were outside watching it via the telescope of the sniper rifle.
"Like you, I'm going to kill him without raising an alarm," I told Sylvia while I took aim with the rifle, keeping a watchful eye on that bastard.
"I see..." she understood.
We watched to see the target is going down by the basement by himself and he locked the door. It looks like he got his guard down, and I shot him in the head. Because it's been done from a distant, I'm sure no one will hear this.
My cellphone rings and I answered it.
"Yeah?"
Suzaku told me that Jeremiah killed the Marmeria Republic General Secretary by shooting his head, and Sayoko killed the Velda Dynasty Queen by using a garrote to her neck.
The assassinations have been completed, and it's going to be chaos in the Mana world.
