Chapter 3- Part 2

Lelouch was getting very tired of the fact that Kallen was dodging his questions with lies even if they were directed towards her daily life before coming to the palace. He could see through the lies with ease. Anyone that could lie to his face and get away with it without him knowing was zero.

He was tempted to use his Geass on her but refrained from doing so all because Suzaku was there watching over him like a hawk. If Kallen was thinking of trying to assassinate him she would not be able without him poncing like a guard dog.

He didn't really want to revile his geass or his code to him or any of his 'trusted' subordinates. Yes, they carry out his wishes without question, but these people were the other Lelouch's subordinates and he would have to get to know better to the point that he liked.

Lelouch leaned back in his chair and sighed in defeat, he was not getting anywhere with Kallen that he liked. "Kallen you may leave," he said pointing towards the door. The thing that he learned with his cryptic questions was that the war a year and a half ago brought her family into shambles. In this world, she was not a noble man's daughter like in the other world, but she was a simple commoner.

"yes, your majesty" bowing to him in respect before turning heel and exiting his study. She was getting better. She wasn't trembling in fear or any of that nonsense. She more composed which he liked but the fact that she was more composed was that he couldn't get much more out of because she would just dodge the question with a lie or as a somewhat truthful answer. He scowled at the thought of not getting all his questions answered properly.

When Kallen had left the room Suzaku spoke in a less formal way "Lelouch it's not my place to say why you wanted to talk to that maid, but I don't really care but I do want to know who that girl was. The one in the green hair. I've never seen her before. What did she say to get you panicked like that? I've never seen you that panicked before."

"she's a witch" he mumbles dismissively

"she's a what?" Suzaku said clearly hearing him.

"her names C.C. you could say we are accomplices." he remised "but you probably not going to see her again anytime soon."

"Right… well, it's getting late your majesty" Suzaku said jokingly but returning. "maybe you should go say night to Nunnally. she did request it."

"Nunnally?" Lelouch muse getting up from his desk. 'I haven't talked to her a lot since coming here. Does looking at her make me feel uncomfortable of what I put my Nunnally though when I was demon emperor? Don't make excuses this is a different world, they wouldn't know anything that happened there. Nothing!

"Lelouch?" Suzaku worriedly said out the of the blue. "everything alright. you space out for a second"

Lelouch chuckled "everything is fine. Now let's go see this request." 'different world, different life'.

Kallen sighed of relief as she exited the emperor's study. Kallen was smart enough to try and led the emperor down the lies that she answered his questions. But it unnerved her that he was questioning her not even the other new maids, even the older maids never got that treatment from the emperor. He would mostly not look at them.

Maybe the emperor knew that she was a spy.

'No!' he couldn't or have known. She only just got here. Was she compromised?

'No!' it's just her being paranoid. He just caught her by surprise that is all.

I'm just paranoid, maybe a good relaxing bath would get her out of her stressed state. It's late, so the head maid should be able to let me. Right? Kallen sighed "I'm not cut out for this."

Authors note- nothing to really say but just a hope you enjoyed this little short. See ya in the next chapter.
