C.C. knew Marianne and probably had ties of friendship and perhaps loyalty with her. And she took the bullet for Lelouch in that episode.

I think you're looking too far into this. Lelouch was someone with the proper will to complete the contract. Given her isolation, it seems unlikely she knew who he was from the get-go.

I have to disagree with this entirely. He left Rivalz to help those people, who at the time looked like mere accident victims. He never shunned Shirley in so much as he needed information without the chit-chat. The guerrillas were pawns at that time, a mere way for him to test himself in an actual battle. Kallen was too. Lelouch could not afford to trust these people.

He did it out of compassion, because he was damned Britannia was going to kill an innocent person.

His only motivation was hatred of Britannia. She was one of their secrets, and he did very little to actually protect her. He only escaped with her, and likely didn't think much of it.

He was surprised a Britannian would go to the effort to save a civilian, much less a Number. There wasn't any scoffing to it. He decided to let him have the battle because of it. As for the bond, he let C.C. behind after she "died" and thought nothing of her.
