Reincarnation of Lelouch Lamperouge

"Thank you."

Suzaku walked to the door and stretched.

Lloyd did not go out first, but made way for him.At the moment the boy's profile appeared before his eyes, Lloyd asked in the same slow tone as usual.

"Are you not going to be a knight of Your Highness Euphemia?"

Suzaku stopped.

"However, I did not intend to make irresponsible remarks about this. However, that adult will not blame you for that kind of thing. If you obeyed the order to die with Zero at that time, that adult would be angry instead. "

This is not a guess, but a fact.However, despite knowing this... No, Suzaku lowered his head because of knowing this.

On Shengen Island, the cruel things that happened to his lord, His Royal Highness Euphemia, once again surfaced in front of him during the two days and nights caught by ZERO and Karen.

The mournful sob that resounded through the night sky, like a heavy hammer, hit his torn apart heart.

It has changed, everything, in those two days and two nights, in the time when that noble goddess was sullied and insulted by a certain devil, everything was different.

Suzaku's heart twitched fiercely, and he said in an unusually low and self-blaming tone.

"I am not fit to be her knight."

"It's not up to you."

Lloyd still answered him in a relaxed tone.However, what he said is an indisputable fact.

"Whether it's suitable or not is determined by the people around you. You, even His Royal Highness Euphemia, can't have an opinion on this kind of evaluation. Hey... it's really hard to be a human being.

Lloyd smiled helplessly, but the Suzaku standing in front of him did not smile.

"This time, there is no reason."

Yes, Lloyd nodded and replied.

"I know, you have lost something fundamental."

Although I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

Something lost.

Suzaku clenched his fists in military uniforms, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and his head lowered deeper.

"Although it shouldn't be said, I know that this is a serious betrayal. What's more serious is that I have lost the most basic qualifications as a knight! I, failed to protect my lord, yet..."

It also caused her to encounter such cruel things, even in order to relieve her own pain, she took the initiative to cater to the evil person and use her noble body to please her.

This is an unforgivable sin!

"..."

"But, I think. It would be great if she was a cold person. Yes, if she treats me as a machine or a tool..."

If that's the case, I will relax myself.

At least, he can continue to serve as Euphemia's knight and complete his mission without hesitation.

Tools will not act according to their will.

The machine will not betray orders.

Tools will not be afraid of being destroyed, and will not fear death.

And the machine... will not work hard for itself.

It would be great if the sharp blade that was pulled out could be slashed in one's heart regardless of right or wrong, or that one had no heart at all.What is not will not be hurt, nor will it be painful.

"Indeed, that would be easy."

Royd said, although he didn't know what happened to Suzaku or Euphemia in those two days, but facing the extremely weak Suzaku at this moment, facing his escape, Royd made a mocking voice.

"After all, that way you can put the blame on someone other than yourself."

There is no sense of autonomy, but simply obeying orders.

Suzaku did not deny it.

"So, I don't work with her knight."

She, Euphemia LI Bunitania, the girl who asked Suzaku, was not like that.The person who only obeys orders is not the "knight" she needs.After feeling this, he accepted her will and became a knight.

However, he not only made such a betrayal, but also abandoned all her expectations.At that time, she encountered the cruelest thing for a girl.

Suzaku finally understood this, no, maybe it can't be said to understand, but Suzaku had never thought about it before.It's just that I hide my sincerity and don't want to face it.This is the darkest part of my heart and I don't want to see it.

Since that day seven years ago, he was no longer a human because he pulled out the knife by mistake.As long as it is still human, it cannot bear its own blade.

Well, it would be great if it was like a machine.Not a human being, just a tool.At least, I can get free from the guilt of father killing, free from betrayal and responsibility.If you don’t see evil, you can see nothing, hear nothing, just as a tool for that person.

Because machines will not have human hearts.Because that kind of thing has long been lost.

"But, she treats me as a human being. I obviously don't have the qualifications like that...If I were a human, I should have been punished and died."

Lloyd kept looking at Suzaku's profile without speaking.

"As a result... I can't even be a tool. Then, I must remember. What is my value as a person!"

Ignore orders—for Suzaku, the problem is not just that simple.The biggest problem is that I ignore the order to save my life.For a long time, he blamed himself.However, when he was caught by Karen, and then watched as his lord was insulted by the enemy in front of his own eyes, and was cruelly possessed.This negligence of ignoring orders seems to have become so trivial again.

For a woman, a noble emperor, the purity and dignity taken away is a million times more important than his humble self-criteria.

Lloyd only saw the fact that Suzaku violated the order and violated his own code of conduct.But they didn't see how cruel physical and mental torture the Lord and the knight suffered during the two days when they disappeared.

From that moment, Suzaku's heart was dead.

He is no longer a human being, but a Shura, an extremely, a murderous ghost, a walking dead.But he didn't give up the right to his life, because his life already belonged to the woman who still comforted herself as a useless knight even when she was subjected to cruel treatment.

"You just said you want to ask me something, didn't you? Mr. Lloyd."

Suzaku turned his head and looked at Lloyd seriously.

"Is it the battle plan? It's about something."

Lloyd remained silent, and after a while, he touched his hair and said.

"Well, ask Cecil for more details. During your detention, there was another riot."

"The situation is so urgent that Lancelot must be dispatched?"
