knight's oath

Betrayer?Hehe - Freya looked coldly at the people who appeared on the sidelines, the temperature in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she exuded a fierce killing intent all over her body.

It's just that at this time, no one noticed her expression.

ZERO, who suddenly appeared in the banquet hall openly and aboveboard, really caused a commotion among many people.

"That's Guren's driver!" Gino's smile began to hide murderous intent and vigilance.

"ZERO..." Seemed to be muttering to herself, Freya was about to continue walking, but found a trace of warmth on her wrist that was not unfamiliar.

Looking back, Schneizel was pulling himself, and shook his head at himself——

…………

It really was you—the boy under the mask sneered, looking at the blond man standing in the field—Schneizel, you are the mastermind behind it!

Feeling the sharp gaze on him, Lelouch saw the blond girl standing next to Schneizel, and couldn't help being startled.

I didn't notice her existence before, not because I didn't see it, but because I thought she was just Schneizel's dance partner in the dress at first, but I didn't expect that she was that young knight——

Are you united?

As he glanced at the three Knights of the Round Table not far away, Lelouch felt an uproar in his heart—it seems that His Majesty the Emperor thinks highly of me!Not only the Phantom Knight, but also transferred them over.

Just as he was thinking, a group of soldiers in red uniforms surrounded him with weapons.

"How dare you appear in this place, you really don't know how to live or die—" The loud eunuch had a confident smile on his face—I really didn't expect the tribute to come up automatically!

Lelouch didn't pay attention to his words, and calmly waited for Schneizel's next move.

Under Schneizel's persuasion, the guards were withdrawn, and the three Knights of the Round Table immediately stood in front of him, watching out for Lelouch's actions.

Schneizel, you actually dare to appear in front of me—after you fail to protect Itiya, I will never let you go——

The bewitching eyes flashed with anger and killing intent, and the hands under the cloak were tightly clenched, and the fingertips pierced the palms of the hands.The feeling of pain seems to remind me of my ignorance and mistakes.

"Hey, Suzaku-san, do you still remember me?" The black-haired girl who brought Lelouch into the arena turned around, stood in front of Luluxiu, and blinked mischievously—

"Hey ZERO—" A cold call interrupted the conversation between Suzaku and Kagura, and Freya walked over slowly——

"Xiaoya!" Jino wanted to grab her, but was pushed away——

The eyes kept falling on the other party, and the smile on the girl's face became colder and more evil—"Are you a betrayer?"

"Ah, so it's the Phantom Knight—" Lelouch couldn't guess what she was thinking right now, maybe he couldn't figure out this person's action pattern from the beginning.It can be said that in the previous fight, he had the upper hand. Apart from luck, it was also due to Suzaku's hesitation.

"It's been a long time! However, I don't seem to remember any breaches of my promise—"

"Really?" Freya sneered, her gaze shifted to the red-haired girl beside her, "Is this your ace pilot?"

"Um--?"

What a confident guy!Freya felt restless—whether you are the murderer of Yuffie or not, since you dare to use this name, I will let you do so!

Take off that mask! "How about having your pilot and our Britannian pilot put on a show here?"

"what?!"

"..." A contest of force?After Lelouch was stunned, he immediately realized - the original intention was not to use force, but if -

Freya ignored the shock of Jino and others, and continued, "Since I proposed the competition, and we have four knights here, you can choose! How—"

"Oh? What about the conditions?" Raising his eyebrows, Lelouch's voice trembled with excitement.

"If your men win—"

"I hope you, Phantom Knight, can be a guest of the Black Knights!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked again, and their gazes fell on the girl with an indifferent face—"A guest? Of course——then if we win, can we ask you to do the same!"

"Xiaoya!" Jino finally couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed her, "What are you doing!"

Frowning, Freya broke away from Gino's grip on her hand, "Gino? Vain Berugu, please pay attention to your identity!"

As soon as the words were finished, a gentle voice was heard, "Then, Freya, can I pay attention to your identity?"

Although Schneizel's face was still gentle, his eyes were full of disapproval when he looked at Freya.

"Your Highness—" she was slightly taken aback, under the gaze of the other party, Freya felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Don't be self-willed!" Schneizel lowered his voice, stretched out his hand to pull her back, and naturally blocked her behind——

Schneizel? !Freya looked at the man standing in front of her in astonishment, her eyes wide open were filled with disbelief and doubt—what the hell is this guy doing?

It wasn't just Freya's shock, even if they didn't hear Schneizel's whisper, those who understood this gesture were stunned by His Royal Highness's protective gesture.

Gino's face became very pale, and his eyes wandered between Schneizel and Freya, gloomy as if he was suppressing something.

"ZERO, just now Freya Ting's promise is in front of me, and it cannot be regarded as the final decision. Can you understand this?" Schneizel still had a calm expression——

Schneizel, do you care about that woman?

At that moment, Lelouch felt a burst of intense anger.

Schneizel, you actually—

When Itiya's bones were still cold, you actually—the strong anger made Lelouch's coquettish eyes glow with bloodthirsty streams—could it be that your marriage contract with Itiya will really be a political marriage? ?

Is it—

Suddenly Lelouch remembered the scene of that evening, and a severe heartache came over——

…………

"Dear Miss Claycos, the second princess-to-be of Britain, don't you know the reason?"

"No, brother Schneizel and I got engaged to—"

"That's your business. It's just that since you want to play the game of recalling your childhood, I'll play it with you. It's my engagement gift to you and Schneizel!"

…………

Itiya, are you trying to tell me this?

Thinking of how indifferent and ruthless he was to Itiya, the pain in his heart was about to leak, and he could only bite his lower lip tightly, fearing that his anger would be exposed as soon as he let go.

"Master ZERO?!" Seeing that Lelouch didn't respond, Kagura stretched out his finger and shook it strangely——

The young man who recovered from his thoughts slowly opened his mouth—absolutely, I will never forgive you!Schneizel——

"Then - Schneizel, let's play a game of chess!"
