Holy Britannian Empire, two weeks after Lelouch's accession
In various parts of the homeland and the colonies, some nobles have been reported to support Emperor Lelouch's rule, as many have now agreed to give up their titles, in fear of being executed by the new regime. The Viceroy's of various Area's have also been seen to stepped down and have been replaced with the regional rulers of their respective Area. However many nobles, still loyal to Charles zi Britannia have gathered up their forces and started to rebel against the new regime.
Fortunately for Lelouch, Jeremiah and the new knights of the Round are already taking care of these fools who cling onto their power. With most of the military high command having defected in favour of the nobles who have rebelled, it certainly have been a pain for Lelouch to manage all these attacks. Luckily the Grand Duke of Euro-Britannia have sent military aid, much to Lelouch's relief.
As of now, internal opposition is slowly been taken care, he can expect that the entire purge of the nobility will be done by the end of the month. But it was going faster then expected.
Pendragon, Imperial Palace, Throne room
In the throne room, Lelouch could be seen watching a holographic display of the progress of the purge. Suzaku was close by, reporting everything that has happened so far. Catherine can be seen closely by sitting down in a chair next to the throne. Catherine wore something similar to her Black Knights dress that she worse, except it reached down longer, with an matching eye and wing that was on his shawl and cut off at the shoulders, she was even showing an ample amount of her cleavage. On her head she worse something simple golden diadem, contrasting nicely with the white hat Lelouch was wearing. She was hugging tightly to her Mr cheese plushie.
"...Finally Baron Helgast's Rebellion in Algeria has been subdued by the Knight of two." Suzaku finished his report, turning the hologram off.
"Excellent work, with Euro-Britannia's military aid we can easily manage all of our forces." Lelouch comments. He's glad that his father didn't have a good relation with their tributary stare, the fact that Euro-Britannia rejected the idea of Darwinism was already a bonus. They will surely go along with all their plans.
"Yes, the Grand Duke has given out his all out support for our regime. In fact he has sent an invitation to visit his estate in Sankt Petersburg." Suzaku informed him. Peaking Catherine's interest.
"Oh? Perhaps I should also join in on this visit." Catherine suggests, she hasn't been outside the Palace ever since they arrived in Pendragon, and it honestly been boring. Though she did have fun teasing Suzaku, her new victim.
"I suppose so, the purge is nearly complete and I might as well introduce my Empress to the world." Lelouch agreed, it is the perfect opportunity to introduce Catherine to the world. People will surely be shocked to know that Lelouch already has a lover, which will surely work in his favour. It will establish his rule as it would mean the continuation of vi Britannia bloodline.
"Yes as all that sounds nice, there is another agenda that I like to announce." Suzaku got their attention, Lelouch looked on with a bored look with Catherine sharing the same. "The former Viceroy of Area 24, princess Marrybell mel Britannia has requested for an audience your majesty."
"Marrybell? Heh, that little girl." Lelouch didn't have many memories of Marrybell, since they really meet up much. But the memories he did have with her were fond to remember. It was strange to think that such a sweet girl was now in charge of counter-terrorism division in the military. "Well it will be nice to see some familiar faces once in a while. Who was that girl that always followed her. Oz? Was that what she called her?"
"She has already arrived and is awaiting to see you." Suzaku informed, getting Lelouch by surprise.
"Wait she is already here?" Lelouch asked straightening up.
Suzaku nods. "Yes, just this morning. She has been waiting ever since, outside the throne room."
The fact that Marrybell had been waiting outside the throne room ever since she had arrived, had Lelouch panicked. Well why? Because it was already four in the evening?!
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Lelouch asked incredulously, wondering why his best friend hadn't informed him of Marrybell's arrival.
"Well I tried to, but you wanted a report on the situation of the purge first. So this is all on you." Suzaku tells him.
"Wait you did?" Lelouch asked with a unsure look, only to recount earlier in the morning where Suzaku was trying to tell him of Marrybell's arrival. "Oh right you did." Lelouch admitted, embarrassed the fact that Suzaku was actually telling the truth.
Suzaku could only smirk at his mistake, he had gotten the upper hand over him this time. "Well then, I should go get her. Right your majesty?" Suzaku said, with smug look on his face.
"Just go get her!" Lelouch ordered him embarrassed.
"Alright I will go get her." Suzaku then leaves to fetch Marrybell leaving Lelouch and Catherine in the room.
Catherine immediately started to burst out in laughter. She couldn't believe what she just saw, Suzaku had made Lelouch embarrassed. Never in her years would she have seen Suzaku make Lelouch embarrassed of something yet here they are. Priceless, she surely will remember this moment.
"Shut up alright, how was I suppose to know she had been waiting since this morning." Lelouch shouts at her, an embarrassed blush was visible from his face. Catherine still didn't stop laughing.
"But still," She started to wheeze. "Suzaku got you embarrassed, pfftt. Hahahahaha!" She started hugging even more tightly on the Mr Cheese.
"Why you." Lelouch got up from his throne and put himself above Catherine sitting on her personal little throne.
"My, my, getting a little naughty are we today, boy?" Catherine comments her Cheshire like smile being as sly as ever.
"Well can I not? After all you are my Empress." Lelouch retorts amusingly.
"But here? In the throne room?" Catherine teased, unfazing Lelouch. "My you grown bold, haven't you boy." Catherine sucked her lips.
"Maybe we could do it here? After all what's there to stop us?" Lelouch suggested. Their heads touched and before their lips could touch, a certain knight interrupted.
"I don't know?" Lelouch and Catherine snapped back, Lelouch immediately turned behind him to see not only Suzaku but Marrybell with him. "Maybe a soldier, a maid or even us." Suzaku joked with a smug grin, as Marrybell turn her head away from what happened. "Wow Lelouch, I knew you were lazy, but to think you were horny as well. Don't worry as your best friend I won't judge, I can also understand." Suzaku said in a sarcastic tone, enjoying every single moment as he captured the embarrassed look on Lelouch's face. But the one he made sure to remember was Catherine's, oh boy revenge was sweet.
"SUZAKU!" Lelouch shouted at him, his face beet red. Meanwhile Catherine buried her face under her Mr Cheese plushie. "Why didn't you tell me you had came back?!"
"Well, I didn't want to interrupt your little moment there." Suzaku says, his smirk growing.
"Why you twerp!" Lelouch cursed under his breath. But Lelouch quickly calmed himself down as he realized he was in the presence of other people, more specifically his sister Marrybell. He puts on his usual smile. "Mary it's been a while." Lelouch said.
"Yes it has been a while, your majesty." Marrybell replied agreeing with the Emperor. It has been a while since the both of them met, and that was during his departure to Japan with Nunnally.
Lelouch sighed as he gets back to his throne. "Please, Marrybell call me by my name when we're alone. After all we are family."
"I suppose you are right, but as it stands you are the Emperor of our Empire. Family comes second when it comes to serving the people and the nation." Marrybell insists, she was stickler for the rules ever since she was ousted from the royal family.
"Not in my opinion. Nothing comes before family, Marrybell." Lelouch says, after all Nunnally was his family after all, and he would do anything for her.
"I'm honoured to know that I'm considered family by you, your majesty. However I cannot bring forward myself to be informal towards you." Marrybell continued to insist.
Lelouch again sighed, there was no pointing arguing. "Very well, if you insist. What brings you to Pendragon, Commander Marrybell?" Lelouch asked, there was no particular reason for Marrybell to come. For all he knows, she isn't an enemy, having peacefully stepped down as Viceroy of Area 24 and is now currently helping with taking down other terrorist groups, since they are currently short handed.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to say... thank you." Marrybell tells him, confusing the Emperor along with his Knight and lover.
"Thank me? For what?" Lelouch asks. He certainly can't remember helping Marrybell for anything.
"For killing our father." Marrybell replied. That's when Lelouch realized something.
"Oh how can I forget. You were the one who sneaked in a sword to the throne room that time." Lelouch said, it was a story that everyone knew. The princess who raised a sword against the Emperor when confronted about the death of her family. This ultimately led her to be exiled from the Royal family."She is like me."
Marrybell grinned. "Please your majesty, you flatter me."
"I suppose we have something in common and that is our shared hate for the previous Emperor." Lelouch surmised, given that both her and Lelouch are pretty in some ways.
Marrybell chuckled. "Yes, we truly do hate that bastard. I'm glad your alive, Lelouch. Even though we were never really close, it is nice knowing that there was someone else who hated our father like me."
"Indeed, it was because of him, that me and Nunnally were sent to Japan." Memories returned from that moment. Lelouch remembering being sent away to Japan, while Marrybell remembered the moment Charles had ousted her from the Imperial family.
"Speaking of family, you have branded Schneizel and Cornelia as enemies." Lelouch sharpens his eyes toward her. "Your majesty, you are the Emperor so I wouldn't dare go against your word. But I must know exactly why? As I am in charge of counter-terrorism." It was odd that Lelouch had deemed Cornelia and Schneizel as enemies to the Empire, when she remembered them being inseparable when they were still in the royal family.
Lelouch thought about it for a while, for now he suspects Schneizel to make his move in a year or so. Considering the size and amount of resources needed to make it, and including the stocks to build his Damocles. But it wouldn't hurt to tell her. "As you know, it was Schneizel who signed the go ahead for the F.L.E.I.J.A project. Originally it's research was actually about finding an alternative power source. Yet he turned that into a weapon of mass destruction."
Marrybell was certainly confused, why did any of this have to be included, it was already public knowledge that this whole F.L.E.I.J.A warhead was all being funded and directed by Schneizel. "I see, but what does that exactly have to do-"
"Schneizel has found a way to end wars, in the worst way possible." Lelouch cuts her off. Marrybell eyes went wide to what she had been just told. "I will let sir Kururugi, explain the rest."
Suzaku stepped forward. "Your majesty." Suzaku bowed to Marrybell. "Before I joined Emperor, Schneizel had told me about a certain project called, Damocles."
"Damocles? Like the legend of the 'sword of Damocles'?" She asked.
Suzaku nods. "Yes. From Schneizel description it is a huge structure, armed with F.L.E.I.J.A warheads. His plan is to put Damocles in orbit so that he use the warheads to destroy any city he wishes, achieving his so called 'peace'."
"Destroying cities?!" That is Schneizel's grand plan? make everyone submit to him, so that world peace could be achieved. That isn't peace, it's just forcing people to obey whatever Schneizel wants.
"Now you see why." Marrybell turned her attention to Lelouch. "We cannot allow Schneizel to win, no matter what, or else it will not just be Tokyo that got destroyed by F.L.E.I.J.A."
It was now clear to her why Lelouch wanted Schneizel dead; he is absolutely terrified of him. Schneizel, wouldn't hesitate to use F.L.E.I.J.A if he had the chance, Lelouch couldn't let something like Tokyo happen ever again. She had seen the statistics on how many people had died. Was wholesale slaughter really worth it for world peace.
A moment had passed between the siblings... and then Marrybell took a step back and got down on one knee. "Your majesty, I Marrybell mel Britannia swear my life and service to the Empire and to its Emperor."
Lelouch sighed, which a smile had appeared. "You don't have swear your vow of loyalty to me Marry, you just being on my side is enough for me to trust you."
"It only seemed appropriate that I did." she defended, considering how it was everyone was supposed to do, when swearing loyalty to a new ruler.
Lelouch chuckled. "A stickler for rules, very well. Since you are in charge of Counter terrorism you will be in charge of finding Schneizel." He ordered her.
"Understood your majesty, at once. The criminal Schneizel el Britannia will be put to justice." Marrybell got up and went to do as he ordered, Schneizel may have helped her get back to the royal family, but that doesn't mean much compared to what he plans on doing.
After they make sure she leaves, Suzaku asks Lelouch. "Are you sure about this? We don't exactly know if she is lying." He didn't trust her that much at all, but that could be said for most of the Royals. Since he was not sure whether some of them would really accept Lelouch's new Britannia.
"It will be fine, she and I are the same. Both of us are outcasts of Royal family, meaning that we both share hatred toward our father's Empire." Lelouch assured. That much he knew, Marrybell while she did stay in Britannia, she also despised her father. It was no surprise that she had decided to side with Lelouch.
Suzaku gave a look toward Lelouch, seeing him all confident about what he had just said, means that he trusts Marrybell, even if they weren't really close. "Damn, even me and Kaguya couldn't even trust each other. Though that would mostly be my fault for joining Britannia."
"Anyways I'm gonna be late for my appointment with Camelot." Lelouch gets up from his throne.
"Is this about Project Imperator?" Suzaku asked.
"Yes, it's about project Imperator. If we want to show the world that I mean what I said, then the Imperator will do that for me." Lelouch needed new weapons and technology to whatever happens next, he is certain that he might go to war with the U.F.N. and for that he needed to two steps ahead of them.
"I guess I'm still stuck here then." Catherine says, disappointed. She hoped that Lelouch would stay over a bit longer. She hadn't been able spend time with her warlock after all. It honestly was getting really annoying, and Lelouch knew it.
"If you need anything ask the servants. I'm not only going to Camelot for Project Imperator but also to pick up the Lancelot Albion." Lelouch tells her.
"It's already finished?" Catherine asked, she thought it would take over at least one more week.
"It completed just yesterday, all we have to is just pick it up." Catherine just looked at him annoyed though she understood his intentions so she will let it slide again. But she better get out soon. She also him a look that said, he better be back in time for their nightly activities.
"I really should come back early." Lelouch thought. Knowing the consequences of what might happen if he doesn't do so.
"Anyways let's get going Suzaku." Lelouch tells Suzaku.
"Right, let's go." Suzaku catches up to Lelouch as they head to transport Vtol.
"So how are preparations for the Dullahan Knights?" Suzaku asked. He had been wondering ever since he told him about it, ever since two weeks ago, after that the topic rarely comes up.
"It's been going steadily well, I've managed to fund suitable recruits and combat units. I also commissioned a new airship to be assigned your new order." That caught Suzaku by surprise, a new ship!?
"A new airship? I thought the Imperator-"
"A different design, it's different from the Imperator but it can be mass produced on a small scale." Lelouch cuts Suzaku off.
"Wait you had a different design as well?" Suzaku asks as he wasn't aware of this.
"No, the Imperator was my idea. Camelot actually had an idea for a new class of airships that would replace the Duchy class. They already had one built, but I ordered the construction for a new one specifically for you." Lelouch tells Suzaku.
"Huh, I guess that's okay. But isn't it an overkill to you know, give me too much military power?" Suzaku inquired, considering his track record it might be viewed in a bad way.
"If you are worried then you'll have to improve your P.R. I think it might be for the best." Lelouch suggested. His decision to Make Suzaku the Knight of Zero has already seen a lot of bad decision, this is due to Suzaku's use of F.L.E.I.J.A on Tokyo of course and his famous reputation as the White Reaper.
"Anything else, other than P.R.?" Suzaku asked looking annoyed.
"What's the matter? You have a bad experience?" Lelouch asked.
"You could say that, I really don't want to get into it." Memories started to flood as Suzaku remembered being used as a propaganda tool as an example of an ideal number. He couldn't count the amount of times that press had taken pictures of him and publish it as something like 'This what numbers should aspire to be' or 'Quit complaining, even you can be one'. Honestly why did he have hope that Britannia could change.
"Okay if you don't want to talk about it then don't. But face it Suzaku you have to improve your P.R."
"And how can I do that?"
"Be the person that you always wanted to be." Lelouch tells him, arriving to the hanger. There it is seen that a squadron of Royal guards were waiting for their arrival.
"Think about it, I'll assign someone to assist you with it." Lelouch tells him, leaving Suzaku to his Vincent.
Lelouch's words left Suzaku thinking. "Be the Person I always wanted to be." In the military he never knew what he wanted to be, even in the Rounds. He didn't have a clue on what he wanted to be, until he remembered something that he told his old Master. "Yes, a Soldier who protects everyone."
And that is what he will show to the world. A soldier that protects the weak, not a Reaper that slaughters them. This is what he will do, yo achieve peace with himself forever more.
Camelot
The all so famous Camelot, named after the fortress that held King Arthur's royal court. It was the special research unit that used to be under Prince Schneizel's command, but after the accession of Emperor Lelouch, it has now been transferred over to him.
Outside the building, the Emperor's Vtol could be seen landing down, as royal guards were surrounding the area. The Knight of Zero's Vincent was parked right next to rest of Vincent wards which had arrived with Lelouch's entourage. Getting out of their respective vehicles they head inside the Camelot building to be greeted by Lloyd Asplund and Cecile Croomy who waited for their arrival.
"Greetings your majesty, welcome to Camelot. It's an honor to have you here." Cecile bowed down before the Emperor, Lloyd did so as well but didn't put any effort into it. Gaining a sigh from Suzaku.
"The honour is mine, lady Croomy. To meet the creator of the Lancelot is quite the honor." Lelouch compliments, though he did give a look at Lloyd, since he was the one who made that darn machine.
"Why thank you your majesty, but I have no interest in flattery." Lloyd tells as he turns around and starts walking.
Suzaku rolled his eyes as his former boss still hasn't changed a bit. Lelouch meanwhile looked baffled at the scientist behaviour, for how Schneizel, Suzaku or anyone could keep up with him was a mystery.
"Lloyd!" Cecile yelled his name, she then realized she was right next to the Emperor. "Please forgive him your majesty, Lloyd is not really normal person."
"You could say that. Suzaku has already told me about professor Lloyd's unique personality, bit to see it up and front... it's truly an experience." Lelouch was really questioning how the woman has put up with him. He might as well offer her a pay raise for actually willing to keep with the guy.
"Now, please follow me to the hanger." Cecile gestured.
"Lead the way." Both Lelouch and Suzaku followed Cecile to the hanger to see the completed Lancelot Albion. Passing by they could see various other projects that were currently being made at that moment like the new Sutherland II, and the new Knightmares of the new Knights of Round.
And just after passing by them, an automatic door opens to a huge factory of Caerleon and Logress class air battleships. But there was one ship that stood out the the most, nearly bigger than the Avalon, with a open runway and Guns so big the world has never seen before.
"That would be the Irish class, correct miss Cecile?"
"Yes your highness, it was designed personally by student from the Caltech institute. We hope that it could replace Logress class, due to their unorthodox design." Cecile explained.
"Well it certainly will do well for the Britannian Air fleet, the Logress class wasn't really the most easy to look at." The Irish really impressed Lelouch, from every angle it looked like it is showing power and fear towards its enemies. With the increased firepower and more Knightmare hangers it certainly is a beast. Truly worthy of Britannia's military might.
"Now, now, now, your majesty. We should head to the star of today's visit don't we." Lloyd reminds them, putting his hand over the DNA scanner.
"I know, lord Asplund. We are here to retrieve the Lancelot Albion." The door to Lancelot Albion's hanger opened. Getting inside, Suzaku looked at his white and gold machine with a smile, it has been evolving ever since it's introduction with new technology. Yet it looked the same as always.
"Well hello there Lancelot, it's been a while." Suzaku says, it was good to see the Lancelot back with new upgrades.
"What are you talking about, Suzaku? This isn't the same Lancelot. This was newly made and a separate unit from the original. The Z-01Z Lancelot Albion." Lloyd corrects him.
Suzaku just gave an annoyed glare. "Lloyd, please... shut up."
"What did I do? I only merely ju- YAOUCH!" Lloyd yelled out in pain, due to Cecile stepping her foot hard on Lloyd's.
"Please forgive Lloyd, Suzaku. You know how he is with things." Cecile apologised.
Suzaku shrugs. "Please, it's fine. It's just how Lloyd is."
"I'm curious as to how you managed with him, lady Croomy?" Lelouch asked, as he looked at the scientist trying to ease his pain.
"I don't even have the slightest idea on how as well." Cecile tells him.
Lelouch sighed, considering he is going to be his top scientist from now on he is gonna need luck and willpower to get along with him. With all that said though, he is a genius, he has been creating all kinds of Knightmares and weapons for the Britannian mlitary for the past year itself. Compared to Rakshata Lloyd is actually better at creating stuff than her... Well Rakshata is still better, but Lloyd does get credit where it's due.
"Which is exactly why his perfect for the Imperator."
Lloyd finally was able to ease the pain as he started to get himself straight, when he was the Emperor approached him. "Professor Lloyd, I have something that I would like for you for you to work on, that I think you will find to your liking."
Lloyd took a brow at the Emperor's words. "And what would that be, your majesty." He asked adjusting his glasses.
Lelouch snapped his fingers, getting Suzaku to take out a blueprint from his Cape and hand it to Lelouch. Lelouch handed the blueprint to the Scientist, Lloyd opened the blueprint his face went from surprise to excitement as his smile grew and grew the more he looked at it, his astonishment growing for what was writtenand drawn. Lloyd handed it over for Cecile to look at.
"Keep on reading it Cecile, it's perfect. We can wipe Rakshata's face with this once we she finds out we made this." Lloyd tells her, as Cecile looked at it with wide eyes as she couldn't believe what the Emperor has now tasked them with.
Lloyd gets down on knees as he cries it in joy, as he was regarding the Emperor as some sort of messiah. "Thank you for such an opportunity your majesty. We'll have it down within five months, we can do it in three months."
Cecile looked at Lloyd, she could not help but let out a sigh as now she a more hectic schedule. Well that what you get for working with Lloyd. Lelouch couldn't care less as his Imperator was now going to be a reality. "Good, I'll provide funding, resources and labour to be assigned for it's construction. Do not disappoint me, Professor Asplund."
"Of course, I Lloyd Asplund never disappointed in anything I have created." Lloyd still on his knees put his head on the floor.
"Then keep up the good work." Lelouch tells him. "Suzaku, go take your Knightmare. Our work here is done."
Suzaku placed his hand on his heart. "Yes your majesty." Suzaku left his side to retrieve the Lancelot.
Entering the room where the Lancelot Albion was, Suzaku hoped in its cockpit. Once inside the cockpit he plugged in the key to turn it on as the screen turned on with the Britannian flag. The screen in front of him showed what appeared what was in front of the Lancelot's camera, above him the doors opened to show the blue sky indicating that take off was ready. Suzaku took in a deep breath, he closed his eyes as nostalgia came back to him of the times he drove the Lancelot into battle multiple times, fighting in Japan and then Europe. Though they were not pleasant he still won't forget the day when he first piloted in Shinjiku, it was a moment he will never forget.
He opened his eyes, activating the flight system. "Lancelot Albion, launching." Green wings appeared from the Lancelot back, as it lifted off from the air meeting up with the Emperor's Vtol.
Lelouch looked at the Lancelot Albion through his window, as he noticed the surprising differences between the Albion and the original Lancelot. "Well I'll be, Lloyd was telling the truth."
Inside the Lancelot Albion, Suzaku could be seen having... a fun time. He never knew he would have a blast piloting Lancelot until today. "Man, this is fun."
"How is it Suzaku?" Lelouch asked over the radio.
"It's great, the systems are operating well and it's flying faster." Suzaku replied. As he accelerated the Lancelot's speed.
"I can see that, but try to keep up."
Suzaku acknowledged and quickly regrouped with the escort. With an hour passed they returned back to Pendragon, where Odysseus was waiting for them in a panic, as if something terrible had happened. With the Vtol parked, Odysseus rushed to Lelouch's side, the Emperor was confused as to what has happened. He left Odysseus in charge P.R. and Foreign affairs, after he was geassed so it must've been important... unless it what he think is is.
"Your majesty, we have bad news!" Odysseus tells him, having no time for formalities.
Lelouch narrowed his eyes at him. "What's the problem?"
"It's the EU, they have declared war on us again." Odysseus tells him scared.
Instead of feeling dread or shock, Lelouch just smirked at the situation. Odysseus looked confused, sure his brother was weird sometimes but this was quite different. The Lancelot which was parked next to the Vtol opened its hatch as Suzaku got out.
"It's as you expected, they declared war." Suzaku says, which had finally gotten Odysseus to understand to what is happening.
"Yes brother, I fully expected for the EU to wage war against us again. They must still feel salty over their defeat in France." Lelouch smirk grew as Odysseus could be seen terrified of the ever growing smirk. "Let them, it's time I let the world know I mean business."
Australia
In the great sandy desert was the main headquarters peace mark, there the main leaders were all discussing on what to do with EU and Britannia situation. Wizard could also be seen with them along with Orpheus who didn't speak a word as it was not their turn to speak.
"So, Wizard what do you propose." A cell leader asks, as the rest of turned to him.
Wizard was in tight spot as now he had to decide what to do, whenever they want to do something important they always leave it up to him. "And to think they are feared Organisation." He thought, but this was the right opportunity for that unit to shine. Getting up, he takes out a file case named Irregular. He handed all of them a copy of each file.
They all opened the file and there were varying reactions of surprise, opportunity and hope. They all start to discuss whether to accept his Irregular unit to be sent to the EU or not. And as expected they agreed for their deployment.
"We approve, deploy the Irregulars to the EU. Down with Britannia!" A peace mark leader shouted.
"Down with Britannia!" The rest soon followed with the exception of Wizard.
After everyone left, leaving Orpheus and Wizard in the room alone. The two of them start a discussion of their own. "You will be in charge of Irregular Unit." Wizard tells him.
"I know, it was kind of expected." Orpheus says. He was looking out the window, looking at all the leaders of peace mark leave in various directions.
"Of course, they were the survivors of Geass Order. So it makes sense that you will lead them." Wizard agreed, taking a look at some of the files of the members.
"Yeah, but the problem is I don't know them." Orpheus reminds him. "They are new faces, I can tell since I escaped when I was younger, and was one of the most prized subjects."
Wizard puts aside the files, already knowing everything he needs to know. "That maybe so, but you are the best option we have. See to it you take care of the EU problem."
"Alright, but find out more on the white haired guy. I have a feeling there is something more to him." Orpheus says, before leaving the room.
Wizard stayed behind for a while, he is investigating on the the white haired boy that they had found with the Order's survivors. The boy, named Rai. His story didn't quite add up, he left out some parts and it was like he had a personal agenda particularly against the Royal family. It was certainly strange, he already had X investigating him, but nothing yet. He will surely find something but who exactly is he though.
"And to think Zero was involved." The masked revolutionary Zero, ever since his appearance many area's started to increase its rebel activities. It had helped peace mark a lot with new members, though for him to involved in Geass means there was something else to him. And now the new Britannian Emperor, he can't shake the feeling like there something familiar with him, like it was if he is Zero, which is impossible... or is it?
Europia United, Berlin, Reichstag
The Capital of the EU was in a panic, just a few hours ago a majority of their council had voted to declare war on the Britannian Empire. People were furious as they were tired as they were just in a war with the Empire a few months ago. The government tried to explain that it was just to take back France and connect with their member state of Ukraine, who had been cut off after the Balkans joined the U.F.N. Currently the military high command were at a stop as they don't have a clear strategy to what to do against the Britannians.
"What about using the abandoned tunnels from the Maginot line?"
"No, the Britannians might expect that."
"We should focus on taking the Baltic states and Belarus so we can reconnect with Ukraine."
"Don't worry, if you are worried Euro-Britannia joins the war, they might not join at all. They are going through some internal issues from what I heard. Ukraine will be safe."
"But isn't Euro-Britannia in support of the new Emperor?"
As the Generals were bickering on what to do, Leila Malcal was sitting down silently as she was thinking of a strategy against the Britannia's. Leila then stood up gaining the attention of the General's.
"Sirs, I may have an idea." She spoke up, as they all paid close attention.
"What do you have in mind, Colonel Malcal?"
A/N
Okay look, I may not be the best but I'm working on it. Honestly the scene with Lelouch and C.C. deciding to get frisky was something I imagined to be hilarious with Suzaku interrupting them. Though it didn't make sense. Really not my best. Same with the Camelot scene, I really wanted more to be shown there, but I really couldn't think of any. I highly request anyone if they are willing to be my beta reader, it will really help out.
Anyways, I just want to say that I may be able to update more quickly as I just graduated from school a few days ago. Honestly I had mixed emotions when I finally graduated. I mean why wouldn't I, my childhood has finally ended 10 years had just gone. I will miss the great moments that I had.
Why am I bringing my sob story of graduating here, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
Peace.
