Time continued to flow like a river, two days later. The news of prince Clovis's death could no longer be hidden, so Britannia immediately made the decision to officially announce the death of prince Clovis.

"Prince Clovis is dead! While fighting for peace and justice against Eleven, he died with honor! We should all stop grieving and carry his spirit!" The speech of Jeremiah, who is a noble and as the person with the highest military status currently in area 11 continues to be broadcast throughout area 11.

Many people were shocked by Prince Clovis' death, including the resistance force that Kallen was in. Currently they are gathering at their base to watch the news of Prince Clovis' death with serious expressions because they have to determine their next steps and face the consequences of Prince Clovis' death.

Seeing that the news of Clovis' death had been announced, Lelouch couldn't help but remember the scene when he killed Clovis with his own hands and felt a little nauseous, after all Clovis was his older brother who had a good relationship with him. But when he saw Nunnaly beside him, he strengthened his resolve, whatever happened he would try to create a world where Nunnaly could live happily and not be hurt.

Just when Lelouch thought that the announcement was over, a piece of news immediately stunned Lelouch.

Looking at the television screen, he saw Suzaku tied up and being guarded by Britannian soldiers. Because they haven't found the real killer of Prince Clovis, Jeremiah immediately looks for someone to use as a scapegoat and blame. Coincidentally, during the investigation, they found the gun that Lelouch used to shoot Clovis. On the gun there were Suzaku's fingerprints because the gun Lelouch used happened to be Suzaku's which he had taken before.

This little thing has made Suzaku unable to escape the blame.

"Onii-sama, Suzaku is still alive, but Suzaku...it's impossible, right?"

While Lelouch was still stunned by the news, Nunnaly's worried and sad voice woke him up.

"Don't worry, Nunnaly, I'm sure Suzaku didn't do it"

Hearing Nunnaly's worried and sad voice, Lelouch immediately comforted her.

'Whatever way I have to free Suzaku, I didn't expect him to be blamed for what I did' thought Lelouch.

.....

"Q1, answer!" After comforting Nunnaly, Lelouch immediately contacted Kallen.

Q1 is the code Lelouch gave Kallen, he uses the game of chess to identify and strategize in war.

"Yes" Kallen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm glad you're alive, Q1"

Lelouch said changing his voice to neutral so it wasn't known whether it was a boy or a girl.

"Who are you?"

Kallen asked hastily.

"Tomorrow at 16.00, come to the Tokyo Tower observation deck," said Lelouch without answering Kallen's question before hanging up the phone.

After contacting Kallen, Lelouch immediately contacted the resistance members one by one.

Putting phone in his pocket, Lelouch walked back to Nunnaly's room to accompany her because he was worried that Nunnaly was still sad about the news she received today.

...

"The flames of war will begin soon..." Noah said while looking at the moon in the night sky.

"Noah, are you going to do something?" C.C asked curiously when he heard Noah's words.

"Maybe yes maybe no."

Noah answered uncertainly.

"I see" said C.C while hugging her pillow and also looking at the moon.

After living together for a few days, there has been progress in their interactions, now C.C can call Noah's name with a little familiarity without the previous alienation.

.....

The day agreed upon by Lelouch and Kallen soon arrived, under the sun which was starting to sink to the west, Kallen stepped onto the Tokyo tower.

When Kallen arrived at the observation deck, she saw Ohgi and the others, but since this was a public place, of course Kallen wouldn't greet them as Britannians.

Looking at the beautiful view of the evening light shining on the buildings of the Britannia residential area, Kallen looked at the communication device in her hand with the name Zero written on it.

"Hello?" Kallen answered when she heard Zero's call.

"Get on the train on line #5. And bring your friends" Lelouch ordered Kallen.

After receiving Zero's orders, Kallen immediately took Ohgi and the others to the train that Zero meant.

Entering the train, Kallen immediately received Zero's order to look to the right side and Zero asked her to give her opinion. Turning to the right, Kallen saw the magnificent buildings of the Britannia residential area.

"The city of Britannia, a city taken, a city built with our sacrifices" said Kallen.

"Now look to the left side," Zero's command continued to be heard.

"I see our city. the city that Britannia made by squeezing us dry"

"Good answer, now come to the front carriage" Zero's voice of praise came from the communication device.

When they reached the front carriage, they saw a man wearing a black robe and a strange mask standing facing them.

"Tell us, were you the one who gave the orders earlier in Shinjuku?"

Seeing Zero silent, Kallen immediately shouted again.

"So were you guys impressed with the trip around town?" Zero asked without answering Kallen's question.

"The trip?" ask them.

"Yes, I want you to appreciate the city and the Ghetto."

Zero answered.

"Yes there are differences between us and the Britannians! That's why we fight together with the rebels" Ohgin said firmly.

"You are wrong, terrorism will not defeat Britannia! Terrorism is just a childish act."

Zero denied Ohgi's words and insulted him.

"Childish?, you insult us and say that we are just children?!"

They were annoyed by Zero's insults.

"Make no mistake, what you have to fight is Britannia, not the people. What you need is to fight the war!"

Zero explains the meaning of his words to them and expresses his ambition to defeat Britannia.

"Don't be ridiculous! It's easy just talking! How can we trust someone who doesn't show his face!" Kallen shouted at Zero angrily.

"That's right, take off your mask so we can believe it" Ohgi also agreed with Kallen's words.

"Okay, I'll show you, but not my face but my strength. Have you seen the news?, Kururugi Susaku wasn't the one who killed Clovis, he was just blamed. Why do I know?, it's because I killed him"

They were shocked to find out that Zero was the one who killed Clovis. before they asked anything, Zero immediately revealed his plan on how he would save Suzaku as proof of his strength to convince Kallen and the others.
