There are three people within the Black Knights who knew Lelouch was Zero before Episode 19 that are moe on Lelouch's side - C.C., Kallen, Jeremiah. Jeremiah is loyal only to those who were loyal to Marianne, so he would stick with Lelouch. Kallen, I think so, she didn't purse Lelouch in the chase with the rest of the Black Knights. Come to think of it, all of them rushing off like that could prove Kallen the perfect opportunity to escape with C.C. And if she wings it with the Guren, there's a significant proportion of the firepower Lelouch would need.

An important thing to remember is the very first episode. When Lelouch saw that crash of the truck, C.C. was sending him psychic flashes, notably 'I finally found him'. C.C. was always seeking out Lelouch. He was always going to be the one who would have the potential to stop Charles. 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. Plus during that episode, behaviour happened which contradicted his behaviour in 1-3. He ditched Rvalz, shunned Shirley except for when she was useful, used the guerillas like mere pawns and referred to them as worse, he used Geass to learn Kallen's secrets rather than rely on trust. However, with C.C., when he first saw her like that, he didn't know she had the power to give him Geass. He didn't know C.C. knew his mother. At that point in time, using Lelouch's state of mind and the way he regards other people, there was no logical reason for him to save C.C. He did it out of compassion, because he was damned Britannia was going to kill an innocent person. As for other innocents in 2, he didn't take that opinion. Heck, he even scoffed at Suzaku rushing to saving that falling woman and her child. Yet he tried to protect C.C., regardless of knowing nothing about her. The bond between those two may prove telling yet.
