Black Irony
'Oh god! He looks annoyed.' thought Jeremiah as he looked at the black prince who was signing the documents with astonishing speed.
"What is it Orange?" asked Lelouch, without looking up from the papers, his hand still writing.
"Your highness! Please do not call me Orange!" protested Jeremiah, raising his voice.
Lelouch stopped his hand as he signed mentally. 'Oh great! First, Suzaku annoyed me at school and now this?'
"Keep your voice down. You do realize what room you are in right now do u?" said Lelouch, with a slight annoyance in his voice,
"I'm… I am truly sorry your highness. " apologized Jeremiah as he lowered his head.
"Oh Lelouch, don't be mean to sir Gottwald. He's here to help you with that pile of documents you are signing right now. He is just doing his job. Besides, this your study so he has the right of speaking in here." A black figure who stood behind a large painting set commented in a cheerful voice.
"……..I am all aware of that and I would wish not to hear that from someone who is not doing his job, prince Clovis." Lelouch felt a wave of pain striking his head as he replied.
"What do you mean 'someone who isn't doing his job'? I am doing my job! Can't you see what I am doing right now?" said Clovis as he continued to proceed his 'job'.
An awkward silence filled the room. Lelouch felt another wave of pain striking his head because of annoyance.
"Big brother?" said Lelouch with a sweet smile on his face as he decided to break the silence
"Yes?"
"If I may ask, why would you think 'painting' is your 'job'?"
"……nice question! Well, the citizens in this colony need something to entertain themselves and especially the Britanians, they are looking for something from us, the loyalties. So, as the viceroy of this colony, I, Clovis la Britannia, have the responsibility t-" "That is not what I am asking. Clovis" glared Lelouch as he looked at his brother with furious eyes.
"I am asking why you are painting ME in MY study when YOU have not finished signing all the documents that you were supposed to by the noon of today and while I am finishing all of these documents for YOU, you are just relaxing and enjoying your 'free' time?" Lelouch was now pissed but managed to keep his voice as calm as possible.
"Well.. I thought you wanted a painting of yourself, so….. I am sorry Lelouch, I didn't mean to make you mad…. I just wanted to make you happy." Clovis looked down at the floor as he apologized to his little brother.
Another silence filled the room and like the last time, Lelouch spoke up to break the deadly atmosphere.
"I understand nii-san. Please just finish your work before you come visit me to paint next time." said Lelouch with a little troubled smile to enlighten the mood.
Clovis smiled back as he saw the smile. But after a few seconds, he looked down at the floor again.
"So Lelouch….will you…."
"Yes?"
"Will you stay in your chair for forty-five minute so I could finish the painting?" asked Clovis with sparkled eyes and a child-like smile on his face.
'Why does he always want me as the model of his painting!!??' yelled Lelouch inwardly.
"I'm sorry prince Clovis, my schedule is very tight today so I believe I cannot do that. However, I know a person who is the perfect model for your magnificent painting."
"Oh? Who would that be?" asked Clovis
'…oh no, I don't like where this is going' thought Jeremiah as he sensed the air around the black prince became colder and denser every seconds.
"Sir Gottwald, could you do me a favour?" asked Lelouch nicely, without looking at Clovis nor Jeremiah.
"Yes, of course your highness, anything for you." answered Jeremiah as he felt a tear of sweat running down his cheek.
"Escort prince Clovis to his own room and you will be the model for his painting" said Lelouch, smirking.
