"That was really careless of you!"
"Well I'm here now!" Silvia retorted.
"Yes but its pretty clear that the Empire knew we're here," Lord Richter shot a glare at Silvia, "and I don't know how or why that is!"
"It's cleanly a traitor for what I recall during my time," Silvia spat as she crossed her arms.
Ram and Sam sat on a couch as they watch two grown adults arguing to each other. Sam held on to her brown teddy bear, closely while her sister was texting on her phone rather out of boredom - it's been going on for at least an hour trying to figure out how did Princess Cornelia was able to capture Silvia the Killer Harlot in the first place.
It's no surprise for Sam that there is a traitor among them but from each 'interrogation' within the Bianca Alliance members all turned out clean. That led to the JLF Remnants- or possibly the former Japanese Government Officials that had once taken Kyushu from the Empire, thanks to China's high-tech weapons and AI. Apparently when Zero helped Cornelia and the Empire tack back Kyushu Sawasaki had Chinese Officials with him and after they were captured Empire just let the Chinese men go free two days after.
They haven't heard about Sawasaki through the Imperial Media since unless...
"Well it's not like Nelly's pets can get rid of us," Silvia waved him off while she turned away, crossing her arms and glowering.
"Still," Richter sighed, "Who to say if the Empire knew every about us? They used that knowledge against the Japanese Liberation Front."
"They don't, at least not everything as far as I know - they probably got their info from Sawasaki about us."
"Swasaki does not know about the JLF's plans besides it is unlike him to betray," Richter dismiss, "Even if he is a Puppet of the Chinese Federation he's Japanese."
Silvia decided to drop it for now, "Whatever you say Lord Richter," she turned to face him once more, "I assumed this doesn't change anything," she wondered aloud while inspecting her fingernails.
"We might stay the course however the Empire was taken by surprise when Ram and Sam decided to take it upon themselves to rescue you. The Imperial Government is on full alert and they won't make the same mistake twice," Lord Ritcher cast a glare at the two children. The twin girls avoided their master's gaze.
Sam wanted to say something but her sister place her hand on her shoulder- Ram shook her head, telling Sam not to say a word.
Richter face Silvia, "Emperor Charles might sent out his Knights of the Round to counter Ram and Sam."
"Humph! What about the Daddy Killer Su-whatever his name is - Kururugi Suzaku," She snap her fingers at the remembrance.
"Thankfully the Emperor hadn't made a move that would of alarmed us - I image his Daughter Conelia's pride to be wounded," He glace at an art that was hanging on the wall, that looked akin to a meadow from the Britannian outskirts, "I believe Cornelia will lunch an counter counter offensive on Kyushu soil very soon. Which means Kururugi, with his Lancelot, will launch another assault on the same matter when Sawasaki took over," Richter gave Silvia as stern gaze, "and when the time comes I will face him in battle."
Silvia rolled her disapproving eyes, "Now don't be doing anything stupid, keep in mind that he still cursed according to Bianca."
"I don't intend to kill him only to disable him. The 'curse' IS detrimental for any coming battle thankfully Lady Bianca has the power to lift the spell from Kururugi," Silvia then burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry but I'm not sure how that going to work? - whatever, who cares anyway." Silvia wiped a tear from her eye, "I forgot about Bianca's spell methods!"
Sam meekly raised her hand which catching the attention of the two adults and her sister, "Can me and my sis fight Susiku as well?"
"Both of you are grounded until this country is liberated from the Britannian Empire," Richter said sternly.
"What? That's not fair," Ram roses from her seat, flustered, "We want to kill some Bloody Brits!"
"Would you rather forwarded your request to Lady Bianca? I sure she'll understand that you disobeyed an order," Richter narrowed his eyes.
Ram sated back down with her arms cross and let out an angry huff.
"Don't look at me that way, I'm doing this for both of your safety; the Empire could of retaliated and sent out their best."
"And we're not?" Ram looked the other way, not looking at her master.
"I cannot stress the importance of your roles to Zero of the Black Knights and Princess Euphemia anymore you children ever could!"
Richter continued to scowl at Ram and Sam, both twins not happy that they are grounded in a middle of an actual Revolution. Silvia could sympathize with them but she too get the feeling that she herself of all people won't get the blood lust of killing Nobles just for fun.
"You know Lord Richter maybe you should cut them some slake, they truly kicked butt out there. Besides all of it is my fault anyway they didn't want Nelly butchering me so they came to my rescue. If anything I can take all the blame." Silvia shrugged.
Richter looked at Silvia bewildered but he could tell that she was serious, "Well," he sighed, "You do realize that you may have to take a back seat for this Revolution do you? And not allowed to to leave Kyushu Hotel."
"As long as it's not being overrun by Brits this time, sure!" Silvia smiled.
"Very well then, your grounded," He turned his attention back to the twins, "Ram, Sam your punishment has now been lifted." both Ram & Sam's face brighten at the wonderful news.
Richter rolled his eyes, "You children may go but don't let it go through your heads."
Both Ram and Sam (holding her Teddy Bear) got up, "Thank you Master, you're the best!" They both happily said and they both skipped to the double doors, they said their goodnight to Silvia just as she did in returned.
After the doors, "I didn't think you would be willing to take the fall for the likes of them," Richter said.
"You know the jest of it not a lot of people in the Empire would be that willing to save little old me~" Silvia smirked.
"Indeed," The blond man pushed up his glasses, "Now that I think about maybe there's hope for you."
"Oh?" Silvia said rather seductively.
"You are now officially Ram and Sam's Retainer," Silvia made a awkward paused just when she thought about the other thing too, "What?"
Richter raised a brow, "Is there a problem?"
"N-not at all!" Silvia stammered, "I just thought you and I want to get together that all!" she laugh heartily.
"Well," He coughed in one hand, "At lest you hadn't thought about killing them out of impulse." Silvia frowned at him, "You know I would never do that."
"Good," He cracked a smile, "Then I see no problems!"
"Are we done?" Silvia put her hand on her hip, "I'm really tired."
Richter nodded, "Yes, your new role will start the first thing tomorrow morning."
Silvia stretched out her arms, "Sounds good to me, good night~" she waved at him before taking her leave.
*BEEEEP* "Sir the Japanese Leaders have requested your presence at the meeting," said the com speakers in the flower vase.
"Roger that, I'll be there ASAP," Richter strain-tn his tie. He started to wonder if this has anything to do with Silvia's escape and Britannia's eventual counter attack. Being Bianca's Knight has its ups and downs but mostly ups - he just hopes that his Master is okay staying with Princess Euphemia's Betroth. Speaking of which he has to call Bianca just to informed her on what happen but first he'll have to get through this meeting?

Lelouch's Room
"Yes Richter, it's all over the news," Bianca sighed as she was using Lelouch's phone again, "What were they thinking, this exposer is problematic!" The Sorceress sate down on Lelouch's bed; she just got out of the shower in her human form with a tower wrapping around her upper and lower body.
"You don't say," Bianca sneered, "You made her a retainer for them? ...Humph, well good move on your part I guess... indeed the Empire is starting to get resourceful which is no secret but from a Traitor to the JLF? As if the Son of Genbu is bad enough... don't worry Richter I still have my faith in you..." she giggled, "Alright you becarful my knight." and with that she hung up the phone.
C.C walk through the door, wearing her usual white get up, she spotted Bianca sitting on a bed, wearing nothing but a towel.
Bianca stared back, "What is it?"
"That's my bed, your siting on it," C.C narrowed her amber eyes.
"Technically this is Lelouch's bed however I will get up as soon as you get my clothes from the dryer," Bianca pointed to the door, behind C.C.
"Why don't you go ask Lelouch instead? I'm sure he'll be willing to pick up your laundry," The Green haired Code Bearer, "Or maybe you can do it yourself?"
"And let him me half naked when he gets home? I don't think so plus you know I can't let Nannly notice me in my human form," The Code Sorceress explained calmly as she rose from the bed, and looked C.C in the eyes.
"Funny that we're the same height," C.C thought as she smiled, "You don't want to expose yourself when he walks through that door, huh?" her amber eyes looked down on B.B's Cleavage, "But I understand, I'll get your cloths but no more favors after this."
"Thank you," the Platinum blond sighed, "and stop staring," she hissed.
...
Sorceress Bianca is now fully cloth, she wore a white sun dress with a baby blue ribbons tied along it, with a blue hooded cloak over her shoulders.
"The deals done, now I want my bed," C.C said.
"Sure, as promise," Bianca shrugged as she moved out of the way for C.C to plop herself on the bed. C.C turned over and looked up to the ceiling, "Bring me Cheese-Kun," C.C ordered.
"What's the magic world?" C.C did not answer to that question.
After five minutes Bianca scoffed at her before complying with her old comrade, she went to the closet to grab the oversize plush toy and tossed over to C.C, which she catches it of course.
"A little rough on him don't you think?" C.C ask as she clucked on to her plush toy.
The Sorceress snickered, "Oh sorry I didn't think it had feelings."
Once again C.C didn't bother to respond to B.B's remark so Bianca decided to change the topic, "So... any idea where Mao is?"
"Why did you asked that question?" C.C said, her eyes still on the ceiling as she lay with her Cheese-Kun.
"Mao used to be one of my subordinates until he went a wall," Bianca looked out to the window.
"Mao mention you when I tried to confront him the first time," C.C shifted her focus on to the Sorceress, "How did you get him to join your marry band?"
Bianca turned on her heel to face her old comrade, "I'll have you know when I found him you left a mark on him so I thought I could help him if I let him joined my Alliance! He helped us gather as much information as we can on from the Empire and thanks to that we were able to grow & adapt up until now," she trailed off, her expression soften, "He thought about you every day, he was ready to be normal again but... there is still darkness in his heart that cannot help fix his Geass," her expression harden, "For that reason I'd told him he maybe a danger to anyone and himself."
"And he didn't take it well?" Bianca closed her eyes, "No, he didn't - I had him detain but he manage to escape the other day. I took it upon myself to track him down, using my shape-shifting abilities, to Area 11 and I'm sure you know the rest." she open her eyes to study C.C's expression.
C.C turned over to the side of the bed, not wanting to look at her right now.
"I know he's dead and that you killed him and incinerated his corps."
Part of C.C wanted to make a retort but decided to just drop it about Moe. Sure, she at she might of loved him and dearly felt regret what she did but as B.B pointed out Moe is fare gone. Greenette just wanted to move on, "But that doesn't answer the question as to why your still here in Area 11."
"So I can look after you and Lelouch."
"Hmm... I'm pretty sure we don't need your help."
"My intention was never to imposed," Bianca frowned, "Even when I've learned that Lelouch was supposed to be Euphemia's Betroth. I mostly wanted to protect Lelouch and Nannuly from that darkness that took Princess Euphemia - that is my personal role but it's not just my desire it's the fact that things change drastically from what it supposed to be, probably for the worst, I've sense it ever since Britannia had taken over Japan and now."
"Euphemia's disappearance." C.C concluded.
"Yes," Bianca's face fell, "My predictions had suggested that she is the juncture that could of bring balance to the world at large by chancing the policy's from within... or."
C.C raised a brow; now genuinely interested at what B.B was talking about. Before she didn't like talking about Mao, let alone be reminded of him. Now she's listing to what might be something that could open up a can of Worms.
But that would have to wait as Lelouch finally arrived back to... whatever he was, Lelouch never really say that were he was going which only left them guessing at this point.
Lelouch wore a black turtleneck shirt with a brown jacket, blue jeans and dress shoes. He took a note of his other two companions confused looks, "I was with my friends, if that's what you two was wondering?"
"Oh, did you bring Pizza or catnip for Mittens?" C.C ask casually. Bianca shot a glare at her again, "I thought we agreed to NOT call me that anymore!"
"How about-"
"I don't want Catnip ether," The Sorceress hissed.
"Hey keep it down you two," Lelouch grunted as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's bad enough that I have to deal with this right now."
"What's eating you?" C.C ask as she put her hand on her hip.
"What been reported on the news," The Raven haired teen said as he cheeked his phone for messages, "I was at the bar were Rivalz worked - we saw what was on T.V."
Bianca face was red; words didn't come out this time, so C.C in her ever-so wisdom spoke for her behalf instead.
"You mean those two Advance Flying Knightmare Frames that attacked the Government Beuro?"
"Basically that," He answered after he was done texting back to Kallen, "I'm not mad I'm just curious about those two Knightmers and their design chose is interesting to say the least. They were able to get through the deference which is no easy feat, I assumed."
"Yeah Diethard was still raving to me about it as well," C.C rolled her eyes and inspected her fingernails, "I suppose you want me to assemble the 'guys' about it."
Lelouch nodded, "Cornelia is on the move for another counter attack on Kyushu as reported on the news. Diethard also informed me of details that the JLF's next plan of attack but it been reported that the Avalon is taking flight which you couldn't guess isn't good news."
"So what's the actual good news?"
"The Lancelot might not fly, giving the damage inflicted by Beowulf but that pegs question on the Avalon," C.C snorted, "I bet the JLF isn't going to wait around to find out what their up against."
"They already sending out their F-22 & Tycoon fighters to intersect Avalon - none of their Top Ace Pilots though," Lelouch heard his Phone rumble - its Diethard, "What is it?"
"Master Zero we just got an update report: the P-1112 Aigaion is close to Kyushu air space!"
"Of course," Lelouch sneered, "Sounds to me that Cornelia wanted to destroy the JLF's Air Force first after her feathers has been ruffled recently. Meet C.C at the usual spot I'll meet with the rest as soon as I can."
"Right away Master Zero!"
With that Lelouch ended the call on his cell phone.
"As soon as you can, huh?" C.C questioned, "What about Nannally?"
Lelouch sighed, "I'll have to leave her here when she is asleep, and Bianca you'll have to change back to her Cat form."
"Oh! I'm only like this because I wanted to take a proper bath," Bianca narrowed her eyes at Lelouch, "Besides I'm sure you properly instructed your maid on guild lines on how to take care of me in my cat form."
"Maybe," Lelouch nonchalantly walk to his desk and sat on his chair and turn on his computer— C.C & B.B watched him as he type.
"Let be guess; I have to tag along with you," The Platinum blond haired Sorceress inquired.
"Yes you're going with C.C which is why I asked you to change back to a Cat," he said as he was scrolling through the information.
"Oh I get it now," C.C glace at Bianca, "You don't want her to leave Nannlly alone with Ms. Mittens."
"No, he's right," B.B nodded in agreement, "the last thing we need is for someone from the Empire to find me here and with Nannally." She shoot a glare back at C.C.
"You guessed it," Lelouch clicked to a webpage that showed pitchers of the P-1112 Aigaion on an official press website:
P-1112 Aigaion:
Creation:
The P-1112 was conceived February 22 2011 by General Towen William of his Majesty's Imperial Air Force. As part of Prime Minister Schneizel's proposal for the "Aerial Fleet Initiative", a combat strategy designed to control large portions of Land throughout the Empire with the use of aerial launched aircraft and the Possibility of Aerial Knightmare Frames.
Towen William had also oversaw the development of the P-1113 Kottos and P-1114 Gyges. The construction of the plane was backed by heavy command cruiser technology brought by the engineers under the Nobility.
Princess Cornelia Li Britannia is given commanded of the P-1112 Aigaion, P-1113 Kottos and the P-1114 Gyges and the Famed Reapers Emblem Squadron by the Emperor. The "Aigaion Fleet" was later renamed "The Third Aerial Fleet" and used to great effect by Cornelia and her Knights, ultimately allowing the South Imperial Army Division to win the Second Numbered Uprising in Area Six(Former Brazilian Empire) in 2012 and for her own forces played a role in defeating the Middle Eastern Federation this year.
Design:
As a heavy command cruiser, the P-1112 was designed to act as a mobile base and long-range attack asset, a major development of the retired XB-0 Hresvelgr. Physically resembling a giant manta ray, the girth of Cornelia's forces it to operate as a seaplane, as conventional take-off would be impossible. The aircraft houses an internal hangar bay with CATOBAR systems accommodated for carrier aircraft operations, such as the Su-33 Flanker-Ds used by the Strigon Team. A small helipad rests on top of the rear hangar entrance.
The main weapons of the Aigaion, the Nimbus cruise missiles, allow it to engage aerial and ground targets at near-continental ranges, and is armed with an array of anti-air cannons, AAM launchers and flak guns dotted across the lower, upper and rear fuselage. It is powered by a fossil fuel core built beneath the main canopy, above its "mouth", which propel twenty-four engines arranged in rows of six on its trailing edges, allowing it to operate for three day periods before refueling. A squadron of six KC-10 Extender tankers are required to simultaneously refuel it in mid-air.
Due to its massive size the Aigaion cannot land on conventional runways, but it is possible for it to land on water for maintenance under the jurisdiction of the Britannian Navy.
Specifications:
· Beam: 963.77m
· Length: 433.3m
· Height: 102.39m
After Lelouch was done with C.C and Bianca looking over his shoulder to the computer screen he spoke up, "This is what Cornelia's is sending into battle." He remarked.
"I've only seen it only once before… at Siberia," Bianca stated after getting a good look at what she deems to be the Aerial Monstrously of the Empire.
"Have you now," C.C wondered aloud.
"I was on a meeting trip in Euro-Russia," The Platinum Blond nodded, "that was during the same time of Britannia's invasion of Siberia."
"That was days after Euphemia had visited Moscow for diplomatic purposes."
"Two weeks actually," Bianca corrected, "Euro-Russia had to cut trade ties with the Empire due to Emperor Charles Zi Britannia Blatant War Remarks against the European Union and disregard to the piece accords."
Lelouch rolled his eyes, "Last year Euphemia wanted to do anything in her power to end any conflict with the EU and when Scheizel given her the opportunity to go the Russia for trade talks she couldn't refused. For what Euphie had told me she was very nervous about this meeting mostly because she thinks that Charles will exile her to stay at Moscow, Russia."
"And we all know how that turned out…" C.C said.
Lelouch closed down the web-browser and stood back up, he turned over to face the two young women, "Euphemia was doing really well in her meeting with the Russian Workers Party and everyone in the capital loved her," He trailed off then continued—
"And then Charles flushed all of her hard work down the toilet weeks later, huh?" C.C concluded with a bored expression.
Lelouch clenched his fist; aside from Charles ordering of the Manhattan Massacre of that year he can't even image what his half-sister had felt when Charles had ALSO ordered the invasion of Saibira. He recalled Euphie expressing to him on how innocent victims caught in the fire felt betrayed at their trust in Euphemia.
"Can't say that I'm surprises," C.C inspected her fingernails, "I here that the Imperial Forces have been 'borrowing' more of Spain & Russia's fighter schematic since they invaded the EU."
"Britannia is pushing through Spain as we speak and Scheizel and the EU is conducting a Ceasefire Between the Euro-Russian Army and Britannian Imperial Forces in Siberia," Lelouch added.
"But how long will the Ceasefire will last," Bianca closed her eyes in deep thought, "Forgive me I shouldn't have flown this off topic at hand just that I lost so many of my people from that horrible air 'Aigaion' monstrously and I'm sure it was also responsible for the damage it had inflected on the JLF during their mission."
"Close but the P-1112 was not the one that took out the JLF's 2th Naval fleet," Lelouch said. "What?" Bianca's eyes widen but he waved off her concern, "You and C.C will have to talk more about it on your trip to the Ikaruga."
B.B huffed in response, "If you insists on it."
"Good, I'm going to cheek up on Nannaly and stay with her until she rest," and with that he walked out of his room, leaving behind C.C and B.B.
Bianca crossed her arms, "For a Student of Noble Lineage he knows his history and weapons quite well."
"You have no idea," C.C smirked.
Bianca briefly looked at her old comrade confused but then brushed it off, "I guess that reason Britannia chose him to take Euphemia's hand in marriage. He could be an enigma at times."
C.C snickered at her fellow Code Bearer, "Okay, times a-wasting time to transform into your cat self."
"Fine, fine. Just give me a moment," Bianca waved her off before she close her eyes her focus made the red jewel in her forehead glowed violently and moments later her entire form is engulfed in red pillar of light.
The Green haired immortal wince before covering her eyes with her hand, "What a light show - Still not impressed by Mittens many magic tricks." She thought.
Okay unsheild those 'wonderful' eyes of yours, I'm a Cat now. Bianca said telepathically though C.C's mind.
C.C did as she was told and looked down at the Sorceress in her White Cat form she wore a cape, a red jewel on her forehead, and a silver collar with the Geass sigil on it, "You know your light show can blind someone..."
For an immortal you can get by so shut up..., the Cat rolled her eyes, Alright lets get this over with already. your going to take to the Black Knights Hideout correct- Sorry let me rephrase that question we're going to the Pizza restaurant called the Ikaruga, right?
"Wouldn't that be nice..." The Green haired immortal Witch as she want to the closet to grab her tan trench coat and hat. picked up the cat and held her in her arms.
I was being sarcastic, the white cat looked C.C in the eye.
"I know but now that you mention Pizza maybe I should go for a pit stop," C.C said after she's all dressed up for outside.
You got to be..., the Cat hissed, look, you better take me to where Lelouch wanted us to go- I can't stay here with Nannaly for long periods of time, its bad enough as is is right now! Also bear in mind of problem we're facing with the Britannian forces planed counter attack on Kyushu right now?
C.C sat on Lelouch's bed to put on her boots and tied the lases on each, "No need to nag, I here ya loud and clear," she soon got up and steatch her limps. She walked up to the female white feline and picked her up and held her in her arms. The Greenette caught a whiff of something-
What is it?
"You kinda smell..." She said cheeky as she walked out the door, "Odd since you did smell good after you take that shower." she walked down the steeps of the main hall to the double doors.
Must of been the human perfume in my fur, how often when a cat smell like a person?
"Whatever you say," C.C twisted the nob, she slowly pushed the door open and peeked outside - after she was sure the cost is clear she pushed the door open and walked out with the cat.
This day is almost nightfall so she my need to be where she needs to be right now.
Are you sure you know where your going? the Cat perked up to looked C.C in the eyes, Clearly I have no way of knowing.
"You'll know once we get there," answered the human immortal young woman as she took quick glances before jogging.
When Lelouch leaves her I wonder if Nannaly is going to be okay by herself... the Cat's head skunked.
"Miss her already?" C.C asked.
I've only stayed with her for several day... You know what forget I said anything.
"Good idea," C.C said simply.
Bianca wondered if she could used her powers to heal Nannaly's blindness? She can't probably not without her tome anyway and quite frankly she wanted to regrouped with her Personal Knight so that Bianca can be properly briefed (and not on a phone) about her Alliance current situation and how could be solved?
The Sorceress felt disappointed when she heard about Ram & Sam's exposes Knightmare-Frams in the Imperial Media, and Silvia's stupidity but she'll digress.
