I am not saying Lelouch is ethicless, but it seems you are accrediting him with a much greater fortitude on this matter than he has shown any evidence of having.
Why it's clear he has long term order abilities:
-Carve-tan marked the wall for 6 odd months
-Euphie
-Suzaku
-Mao

Why it's clear he refuses to willingly give long term orders:

-11,
Ougi: "people aren't pieces in a game. Zero wouldn't think that way. Otherwise, he would have manipulated us like chess pieces."

-18,
CC: "it's easy, isn't it? you could just use your geass on Suzaku"
Lelouch: "no."
CC: "why? stubbornness? friendship? Or pride?"
Lelouch: "all of them..."

-19, said he had never, ever planned to use his geass on Suzaku, and even when said order didn't help him in the long term, and saved Suzaku's life (along with his own), he still regretted it

-21, "the geass is too dangerous to use on Ougi and an unknown person"

-24, Darlton's geass order ends immediately after immobilizing Cornelia.

-27, did you even watch the scene with Kallen?


I'm sure I could think up another 2 or 3 examples if I bothered, but I think this should make it clear enough.
