my leverage point

once that meeting was complete I went to a safehouse by the docks where my high value target was located as I planned to make use of him

"sakura what I am about to do may throw everything you think of me into the trash as such I must ask do you trust me" I asked my knight

"what do you have to do" she asked

"manipulate a Japanese man into joining us" I said and you could tell I wasn't at all about it

"is it for the zero requiem" she asked I nodded

"it has the potential to take an enemy piece completely off the board in the future" I said

"than do it" she said and I was glad to have her by my side

"you may have to kill some of your countrymen in the future can you do it" I asked she nodded

"anyone in the way will die no matter who they are your highness" she said

"we will destroy the world and create it anew" I said quoting lelouch

"let's go meet our new member" I said and we went inside and to his cell and entered said cell

"well noato kozuki let's have a little chat would you like to start with your questions or can i start" I said sitting down in a chair he just stared at me so i took that as my queue to start I then began to explain the official report also telling him what he stole telling him it wasn't poison gas as such he looked quite dumbfounded

"of course if you tell anyone this information you will be shot on the spot" i said he nodded that made sense

"but why did you save them, me, and why did you call my people Japanese" he asked in rapid succession

"oh you wanna ask questions now alright, i saved them because it was the right thing to do innocents shouldn't die because someone was stupid as for why i called your people Japanese that's because you are Japanese what do you want me to call you carrots" i said laughing at my own joke

he looked shocked at a britannian whose actually a good person

"you look at me as if good people don't exist i will admit my empire is overrun by terrible people but let me ask you a question in the Japanese resistance all of the people are angels" i said he shook his head understanding

"as for you i wanted to ask a question and that is if you could go free how would you fix your very bad mistake" i asked and he stared at me again

"here's your choice you can A go to prison stand trial and likely be executed or B you can join my personal army the phoenix legion and know this about us we follow a completely different rule book from the actual britannian military and we actually have honor" i said i will give you a week to decide i said before getting up and leaving
