knight's oath

Itiya, who returned to the Grande, ordered someone to notify the captains of the teams and the Knights of the Round Table. After learning about the current situation in District 11, Itiya dismissed everyone, leaving Suzaku alone.Or maybe even if Itiya didn't speak, he would.

Because since seeing Itiya again, Suzaku's eyes have become very strange, with doubts and shock mixed in.

In the quiet room, the girl sat on the sofa behind the desk and looked at him who had been silent all this time.

After a light sigh, he gently took off the mask on his face, revealing his beautiful and delicate facial features.Then, lightly raising her plain hand, she wiped away the cover from her eyes——

A calm ocean like water, a calm silver light glowing in the ice-blue world, pure and indifferent——

After seeing the boy's shocked expression, his bright eyes slightly closed, "So, Suzaku, do you want to ask something?"

Straight to the point, I don't want to mess around with unnecessary things anymore.

After being slightly startled, the brown-haired boy suddenly understood——

Suddenly, he sat down on a chair beside him, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, with a hint of bitterness—"So that's how it was, so everything was designed by him—"

"I should have thought of it a long time ago - how could there be - two people who are so similar..."

"As expected of His Majesty the Emperor—"

……

"...Are you rejoicing, or are you admiring?" Itiya interrupted his self-talk, and opened his eyes, "Hey, Suzaku, do you have anything else to ask besides this!"

"Hmm—" Lowering his head, the boy clenched his hands into fists, seemingly hesitating for a while, "Freya... no, I should call you Your Highness—"

"No, I'm still Freya Ting... everything about Itiya doesn't belong to me, maybe temporarily, maybe forever..." The girl showed a hint of helplessness when she said this, but disappeared after a while up.

"Hmm..." Suzaku didn't pay attention to this, and nodded, "Then Freya, what will you do with the Black Knights? For that person, ZERO, can you—"

"So, Suzaku, are you sure?"

"For the time being—" Facing Itiya's calm question, Suzaku suddenly fell silent, and a look of hesitation slipped through his eyes, "For the time being, not yet—just—"

"only?"

"There is no definite proof, but I always think so in my heart—Lelouch is ZERO. ZERO—whether it is a year ago or now, is—Lelouch!"

"Really—then, Suzaku, what will you do?" Itiya continued to ask blankly, "What do you want to do before you are sure? After you are sure, what do you want to do?"

"..."

"Are you—are you going to kill him? ZERO, or Lelouch?"

"...He is the one who created all the deaths, that ZERO, so—"

"But——if it's Lelouch, can you do it too?" Itiya saw the expression on his face, and she could see everything——

Suzaku, you have too many worries, so——

In this layout, I don't know, what role will you play?

Will the rest of the game, you and me, be enemies?still--

If Suzaku came back to his senses at this time, then he would see the sorrow on Itiya's face, but at this moment he has completely fallen into his own hatred, or perhaps, his attachment to Yuffie——

The world Yuffie hoped for was peaceful, but, after she created all the chaos, she left this world with injustice——

What would she think if she died at the hands of Lelouch?

Thinking of this, Itiya couldn't help laughing silently——

Yuffie, you once said that you would be the bridesmaid for me and Lelouch, you have broken this agreement——

Gently shaking her head and shaking off the bitter memories, Yi Diya understood that neither she nor Suzaku could forgive Lelouch at this moment——

It's just that both I and Suzaku have reasons why I can't do it——

……

Lelouch, should I praise your good luck, or call you cunning?

We clearly know our position, why do we still do such a thing?

This world is so messed up by you, how will it end?

…………

Turning her eyes, the girl sighed and smiled with lowered eyebrows, "By the way, Suzaku, I remember that the ace pilot of the Black Knights was brought back by you? Now?"

"Yes!" I didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the subject, but Suzaku answered truthfully, "Now, it's being locked up at the administrative hall! Because of Governor Nunnally's request—"

"Well—take me—"

"……yes--"

…………

As soon as she walked out of the room, Itiya saw the blond boy leaning against the wall of the corridor, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly—as expected——

"I'll go get ready first—" Suzaku looked at the boy who was looking straight at Itiya, and left thoughtfully—

……

……

"... Are you done talking?"

"Well, I'm going to the administration hall—"

"yes……"

"Um--"

"...Don't you have anything to say to me?"

When he heard the news, Jino once thought it was a hallucination caused by thinking too much, but when he really saw that figure, he suddenly woke up.

Everything is not a dream——

…………

Hearing this, the girl was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly, her red lips parted—"Long time no see... Jino..."

Just a few simple words, just a simple smile, is enough——

A long-lost smile appeared on the boy's face, sincerely and relaxed——

Already, enough!

Even if he can't get the promise, as long as he can see her, as long as he can stay by her side, that's enough.

People can't be too greedy, can they?

What you can get, you need to cherish——

If you can't get it, don't force it——

…………

…………

"Are you the pilot of the Red Lotus II?" Looking at the red-haired girl imprisoned in the isolation room, Itiya was also a little surprised at first. "Are you a student?"

Gazing at Itiya, Kallen didn't make a sound.

It was Suzaku on the side who said for her, "Well, she is also a student from Ashford, and she has always been driving the red lotus!"

"Really?" Itiya, who put on a mask, raised the corners of her lips, a little evil, "Then it should be very powerful-is this considered a talent?"

Suzaku was a little stunned, not knowing how to answer.Because the question of Itiya is a bit irrelevant.

"Suzaku, let me be alone with this young lady—"

"Uh but—"

"It doesn't matter—" he waved his hand, "By the way, turn off all the monitors in this room!"

"..." Seeing Itiya's resolute look, Suzaku nodded hesitantly, and then left——

……

After Suzaku left, Itiya didn't speak. Instead, she sat on a chair not far away, sipped tea, and looked at her quietly.

The silence and silence, coupled with the weird atmosphere, made Kallen feel a little nervous, and she couldn't help but speak at first—"What do you want to do—I won't say anything about the Black Knights—"

"Including ZERO's?"

"of course!"

"Ha ha--"

Seeing that Karen was a little nervous but pretending to be calm, Itiya couldn't help but smile, "Hey, Miss Karen, don't be so nervous... I really want to ask you a few questions, but--not about The Black Knights, it's not about ZERO either, it's about—"

"..."

Looking at the wary Kallen, Itiya raised the corners of her lips, "About—Lelouch—"

"!?" Kallen was taken aback, she didn't expect her to say this word.At the same time, there was a burst of tension in my heart—could Lelouch's identity really be exposed? !

"Don't worry, I just want to ask someone you should know--Lelouch Lampelucci, that's all! Besides, there is no one else here, and there is no monitor, and I just want to chat--so ,May I?"

"When will Britannia use such a roundabout strategy?" Karen still didn't believe it, and after replying sarcastically, she shifted her gaze.

"Really...you still don't believe me..." Itiya felt a little helpless, but didn't know whether to praise her vigilance or ridicule.

Silently, with a sigh of relief, Itiya slowly stood up and walked towards her——

When walking to the entrance, the glass door opened——

"Miss Karen, maybe you don't know me, but you should know Lelouch—who is the person you care about most—" Itiya pursed her lips and smiled as she walked towards the girl imprisoned on the chair.

Who does Lelouch care about most? !

Karen was in a daze, but there was a voice in her heart telling her the answer - the person Lelouch cared most about was Nunnally - his only relative.

"Miss Kallen, what you think of is just one of them—" As if seeing through Kallen's thoughts, Itiya casually stood beside her, the smile on the corner of her mouth added a little bit under the white support enchanting--

"Is there anyone else besides Nunnally?" Karen couldn't help asking, ignoring why she knew what she was thinking, subconsciously, just because she was eager to know about Lelouch, even if it was just a little bit. , or -

Seeing the eager girl, Itiya sighed softly in her heart, but changed the subject, "Hey, Miss Karen, do you like Lelouch?"

Hearing this, the red-haired girl was taken aback, her cheeks turned rosy—

Seeing this, Itiya already understood, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of helplessness——Lelouch, what should I say about you?
