I. Spill The Truth
“But I have a condition, if you want me to protect Nunnally, then you should come here to Area 11, where she is located, by yourself. The location will be the Kururugi temple. We shall meet alone…”
Lelouche hung up the phone and made his way back to C.C.
“Don’t leave this room no matter what” Lelouche said as he picked up his mask off the table that had been placed on the neatly stacked outfit.
“Yes master. Have a…a nice trip” C.C. said in a quiet voice while holding onto her bandaged finger.
Lelouche glanced at C.C.’s finger that had been cut because of his spur of the moment outrage. He began to feel remorse for hurting her because he had promised her that he would not hurt her no matter what.
“I-I’m S-…never mind. It’s nothing. Thank you” Lelouche muttered as he walked out of the room with his mask on.
Lelouche meets up with the rest of the Black Knights
“Commence U.F.N. Resolution #1. We leave NOW!” shouted Lelouche.
“Nippon! Banzai! Nippon BANZAI!!!”
“Jeremiah and Rolo, I’d like to have a word with you” exclaimed Lelouche.
“YES! Your Majesty.”
“Jeremiah, I want you to call Guilford. I believe we can bring him onto our side. Rolo, I want you to watch over Cornelia. She is not to escape no matter what. Please go now Rolo.”
“Yes Zero-sama.” Rolo said as he went off to Cornelia.
“Also, Jeremiah. I’m going to need you to watch over Rolo and make sure Cornelia doesn’t say anything to Rolo that will anger him. He might use his geass and harm Cornelia, so I need your help to make sure he doesn’t do anything.”
“Yes, your majesty” said Jeremiah as he bowed.
The Order of the Black Knights leave to Japan and are confronted with Britannia’s Army. Meanwhile, Lelouche sneaks off to Kururugi Temple to meet Suzaku.
It was sunny and bright outside, definitely not a day for the chaos and deaths brought about by war. Lelouche stood at the bottom of the steps to Kururugi Temple, going over in his head, the 15 possible outcomes of the conversation between him and Suzaku, as well as his response to each case if it came down to it.
Lelouche made his way up the steps and was confronted with an angry, hostile-looking Suzaku in his school uniform.
“Suzaku…”
“Lelouche...”
Suzaku took out his Knight of The Rounds badge, “I could arrest you right here and now Lelouche. But that isn’t what I want. I want the whole world to see the real you. But first, I want to ask you one thing. Why…Why did you use that evil power to hurt Euphie? WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU?”
“Suzaku, I’ve thought about it over and over. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I knew that no matter what I said, you wouldn’t believe me.”
“I DON”T CARE. You want me to protect Nunally right? Then tell me the truth!”
Lelouche put his hand over his left eye and took out his anti-geass contact.
“You see this? I’ve used geass to the point where I can’t control it anymore. I use this contact so that it doesn’t affect people when I don’t want them to be affected. It just so happened that this was the case when I was talking to Euphie. I tried telling her that I had the power to command anyone to do anything, and that I could even command her to kill the Japanese, something she would never do. However, at that moment…at that moment my geass went haywire and that last comment affected Euphie. I couldn’t stop her…I didn’t want it to end like that. She…she was probably my first lov-”
Suzaku threw a punch at Lelouche’s face and shouted “GET OUT OF HERE! Do you really expect me to believe that? Are you going to just keep lying to the world? And to have the nerve to say that you loved her? IF YOU REALLY LOVED HER YOU WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOURSELF IN! Get out of my sight. I will protect Nunally, not for your sake, but because she is the Governor-General.”
As Lelouche walked down the steps, he turned around one last time to face Suzaku face to face and said “I don’t expect you to believe me. This IS the truth. You of all people should know me the best…all those years we were together. I leave Nunally’s life in your hands. Please protect her, that’s all I ask of you.”
