knight's oath

"What is this?" Looking at the small brocade box handed over by the boy, Itiya blinked, a little puzzled.

Lelouch patted her head helplessly, and stuffed the box into her hand, "Open it and have a look—" While speaking, he shifted his gaze to other places, avoiding Itiya's gaze.

"Oh—" Opening the box obediently, the girl's lips curled up involuntarily when the warm gleam greeted her eyes. "It's beautiful, Lelouch—"

"Hmm—" There was a twinkle in his eyes looking away, the young man lowered his voice and responded, but he didn't look back at her.

Seeing the young man deliberately avoiding his eyes beside him, Yi Diya suddenly realized, a cunning flashed in his eyes.Leaning over to his ear, he softly said, "Hey Lelouch, you are not shy!"

"What nonsense!" Turned her head in a panic, glared at her, then turned her head away, "There is no such thing—"

"Hehe, is that so?" Itiya nodded disapprovingly, pouted, and handed out the box, "Hey, Lelouch, help me take it!"

Looking at the brocade box handed under his nose, the young man nodded slightly, "Hmm..."

"Hehe..." Itiya withdrew her hand, turned her back, and stretched out her hand to gather her long hair together, revealing her fair and clean neck.

When the boy took off the necklace, he involuntarily kissed the neck lightly, causing the other party to moan slightly.

"Um...thank you, Lelouch..."

"Like it?"

"Hmm..." The girl lowered her eyes, covering up her sadness and helplessness, but there was still that gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. "...Lelouch, will you still leave me?"

Hearing that slight question, the young man couldn't help but startled, and then hugged her from behind, "...No more..." He buried his head in the hair that exuded a familiar fragrance, "No, never From now on, there will be no more..."

Itiya blinked her misty eyes, "Is it an agreement?"

"Yes, promise!" He stretched out his hand and held the girl's hand tightly, intertwining his fingers as if entangled for a lifetime, "I, Lelouch? VI? Britannia, hereby swear, to you, Itiya ? Kleikos, promise to be with you for the rest of your life. If you break your oath..."

"No—" Itiya hurriedly stopped, "No need!"

Turning around, raising her head, she looked at the person in front of her, "Your words are enough..." I can't imagine if I can be with you for the rest of my life, but I don't want you to get hurt.As long as there is such a moment, I am already very satisfied!

Stretching out his hand, caressing that handsome face, "Really, why does it feel like I haven't seen you for a long time? Obviously I've seen you before, obviously—"

"Fool—" The young man who didn't know about Itiya's thoughts rubbed her blond hair amusedly, "Don't think about this question anymore!"

…………

After calming down, Itiya slightly opened the distance between the two of them, and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a crisp cell phone ringtone.

Lelouch patted her apologetically, took out his phone and walked aside, "Hello—"

"Lelouch, the location of the sect has been found, do you want to go?"

"Really? I see!"

……

Looking at the boy who walked to the window sill to talk on the phone, Itiya's heart ached.

All this really happened - no matter how much I try to escape, it is useless, what is in front of me is the so-called fact.

…………

…………

"Hehe, then let's compete, Itiya!" The girl with long pink hair hugged the snow-white cat, her eyebrows curved.

Itiya tilted her head, "Compared to what?"

"For example, whoever can play the piano music that Shera will dance with first, you or I!"

"what?!"

"Hehe, why, don't you dare?"

Itiya couldn't laugh or cry, "Yuffie, you're not joking!"

"Of course not!" Euphemia put down Shera, who had been restless in her hand, and laughed jokingly, "If I lose, I will be the dance partner at Lelouch's birthday party!"

"Ah—" Itiya suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her bright eyes were full of surprise and anxiety.

"Hehe, I'm just joking—" Seeing this, Yuffie hurriedly waved her hands, but the smile on her face revealed that she was completely happy to see the good show at the moment. "Who dares to argue with you about brother Lelouch—hehe—"

"Okay, how dare you lie to me—" Itiya blushed, pouted, and let go of her hands and feet as she spoke—

"Ah, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, it's itchy—stop, stop—"

"Let's see if you dare to trick me!" Itiya scratched her hands relentlessly, watching the pink-haired girl giggling on the grass.

"Okay, I, I dare not, stop—stop, stop—"

"Ha ha……"

…………

…………

"Hey Itiya, make an appointment! I will be Itiya's bridesmaid at my wedding, and at my wedding, Itiya must not be absent!"

"Why not me as your bridesmaid!"

"Hehe, because by then, Itiya must be married—"

"what……"

"Ha ha……"

…………

"Itiya, don't be sad! I think His Majesty the Emperor will let brother Lelouch and Nunnally come back after a while!"

"...No, the news must be wrong!"

"Itiya, don't cry... Brother Lelouch certainly doesn't want you to be like this!"

"Enough, Itiya, if you want to spend the rest of your time paying homage to Lelouch, you don't know him too well!"

"Itiya, do you really want to get engaged to Brother Schneizel?"

"...Maybe it's good...Brother Schneizel has always liked you too!"

"Itiya, do you know? As for me, I like Itiya's smile the most..."

"As warm as the sun, if Itiya can smile happily, then everything will be fine!"

…………

…………

The memory in my mind is still so clear, as if everything happened yesterday.

Euphemia, the girl I liked from the very beginning, is my best friend.Even if the memory is lost, I still like her so much——

The laughter and squabbles of the past are still so vivid in his memory, but, he can no longer see her.

I didn't even see her for the last time, and I didn't even say the last word to her——

That promise may never be fulfilled.

Yuffie, would you hate it?

Can you forgive the person who killed you?

Can you tell me?

The sadness on the face of the girl who clenched her hands was so clear, but the boy didn't see it.

If Lelouch turned around at this time, what would he do?

Some things have already happened, and there is no turning back. No matter how much you cover up what has been done, when the truth is revealed, all that is left is a place of helplessness.

…………

…………

After hanging up the phone, Lelouch looked at the phone and didn't know what he was thinking, with a look of confusion and doubt on his face.

"What's wrong?" Itiya came to his side at some point and looked at him quietly, "What happened?"

"No—" He regained his composure and smiled slightly, holding her hand with some force, as if he was worried that he would lose the person in front of him if he let go.

Lowering her eyes, the girl's gaze stayed on the clasped hands for a while, "That's good—"

Looking at the golden hair, Lelouch sighed silently, "I—"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the person in front of him suddenly let go of their holding hands.

"What's wrong?!" At that moment, the boy felt as if he was about to lose something, and he had a feeling of being unable to grasp something, so he hurriedly took a step forward.He stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her again, but she avoided it. "Itiya?!"

After taking a few steps back, Itiya raised her lowered head and looked at him with a pair of penetrating eyes.

"Hey Lelouch, you are ZERO..."

"ZERO who created the Black Knights, ZERO who created the Death War, and ZERO who killed Yuffie, is that you? Lelouch..."

The author has something to say: Woohoo, the computer is broken, everything is gone!

I'm depressed~~

No flowers, no sugar, poor baby~~~~~~
