The White Knight Awakens chapter 4

Lelouch's monologue along with his mischievous smile was a spectacle that would undoubtedly remain etched within the memory of every member of the audience. Some thought it showed the beginning of the story of a tyrant, some thought it was the fall of a good person, some thought it was the beginning of a hero, but among all those thoughts there were some who could only wish they had never heard Lelouch's thoughts.

"A lie..." laments Milly in a low voice. "Was it really all just a lie to you, Lelouch? Our friendship, the smiles and laughter we shared, the moments we remembered, was it really all just a lie to you?" tears welled up in Milly's eyes, the thought of who she considered a friend and who she had been secretly in love with, thinking of the time they shared as a lie hurt, hurt more than she wanted to admit.

Rivalz is not feeling much better, he remembered that Lelouch had told him that he did not get along with his father, at that moment he felt a bond between them. Rivalz himself also had his own issues with his father, even the surname Cardemonde was his mother's maiden name, not his father's. He thought they had become best friends, obviously he had noticed that things had changed, especially when Suzaku arrived, but, still, he thought their friendship was something real, he didn't want to think it was just a lie.

"Brother, I really didn't know you..." thinks Nunnally depressed as she listens to Lelouch's words. "I thought you were happy like me, I thought we could forget everything about our past and live a common existence... Sorry brother, sorry for never noticing that you were not happy like I was."

Zero notices the state of the room and clears his throat to get everyone's attention. "I know that many want to take some time to think about what they have just seen, but the time we have is limited, at lunchtime we can discuss what we have seen, but for now I think we should start the next episode."

"Zero is right," says Nunnally trying to ignore her own thoughts. "If it's okay with all of you, let's continue," the other people in the room nod in agreement with Zero and Nunnally's words, so Nunnally starts the second chapter.

At the beginning of the episode, we hear again the narration of C.C. about the events that took place during the conquest of Japan.

Ohgi, noticing that C.C.'s narration is the same as the one she gave in the first episode, asks, "Is this going to appear at the beginning of every episode? I would really prefer not to have to hear about the loss of Japan every time we start an episode."

"Yes, can't we skip it?" asks Chiba.

Nunnally seeing that the Japanese don't want to see the summary of Japan's previous situation again agrees with them. "I don't think there would be a problem if we omitted it, but what if something comes up differently? I think we should look at it, just in case."

The others nod as they are satisfied with the compromise.

The name of the second episode appears on the screen: "The White Knight Awakens".

"The Lancelot!" Lloyd shouts happily. "We finally get to see my dear Lancelot."

"Our Lancelot!" corrects Cécile, grabbing Lloyd by the ear.

"Yes, that's what I meant, our Lancelot," agrees Lloyd nervously.

Tamaki is confused by Lloyd's enthusiasm. "Finally? But it's only been one episode."

"Only one episode?!" Lloyd escapes from Cécile's grip while looking at Tamaki. "Your brain is too tiny to appreciate the Lancelot; one episode is already too long to wait."

"What did you say!" Tamaki gets up to go to Lloyd, but is stopped by Ohgi before he can do so.

Ohgi sighs. "Let it go, Tamaki."
