Suzaku POV

After the discussion of Schniezel we decided to keep it under investigation. As my lovely princess began to cook dinner with C.C help. Lelouch and I went out for some fresh air.

"Got a say you guys keep a very nice home. Even the garden is amazing it almost remindss me of the garden we use to play." Lelouch says as we walk to the pond.

"We wanted to make sure to remind will that he was japanese

"We wanted to make sure to remind will that he was japanese. Since he's part Britannian and we live in the main lands we tend to do our old customs like cleaning after yourself stuff like that." He smiled as he sat in one of the benches we had place.

"So how was my sister?" Lelouch asked as he looked sad.

"She's grown up a lot and she sure knows how to be serious it's almost scary." We laughed as enjoyed the fresh air.

"How long has it been since we last had a moment of peace like this?"

"I think it was around when I was getting married to (F/n). As much as I love her she still a thick head to let someone help her." He laughed knowing it was true.

"Do you hate being Zero?" He asked out of the blue. I looked at the pond and see the fishes swimming. Yet what he said is true do I hate being Zero sometimes. Not being able to go out without hidding my face, or spending time with family. Yet I don't hate being Zero at all.

"No I don't hate being Zero."

"Why? You can't be with your family in public. Plus if they see you without your mask they may consider (F/n) a cheater." He said.

"The reason I don't hate being Zero is because I can protect my family. I want them safe and if being Zero keeps them safe then I'm willing to be Zero for them. Even if I can't show my face out in public." He sigh probably because I wouldn't understand what it means to suffer.

"Daddy mommy says it's time to eat." Roll said as I smiled.

"Alright tell mommy we'll be there in a minute." He nodded and went back inside.

"Well let's go back inside or else (F/n) pull our ears to the table." Lelouch said as I laugh know she would do that.

'I wish things were like this all the time. But I know we don't always get what we want unless we work for it.'

Your POV

Ever since you and everyone in the house suspected Schniezel to be the prime suspect. You didn't go any closer that ten feet away from him or you avoid him in the halls. Even today as you went to talk with Nunnally you didn't try to go near him.

'Come on just keep it together her majesty is counting on us to solve this problem.' As you reached her door you knocked and waited to be allowed to enter. The door open and the person who open it was Schniezel.

'No you have got to be kidding me?!'

"Oh it's so nice to see you my lady." He said as he let you in.

"Likewise I came to speak with her majesty... alone." He smiled and let you in and walked out of the room.

"Oh it's good to see you (F/n) how's your family been doing?" Nunnally asked as I closed the door for Schniezel to not hear anything.

"They're well I brought some news about our investigation."

"Ah very good." She reached for the papers as well a letter that Lelouch asked me to give her. I gave her a sign to let her know it was a secret. She open the letter and began to read it as well some tears began to fall.

"Your majesty are you alright?" I asked as she nodded.

"Yes just fine anyway back to the situation at hand." She said as she put the letter in a side drawer and locked the drawer.

"Of course as you can see from our investigation we believe this person may be involve in this. Yet we aren't sure if he has any memory of his past. As well as the evidence to back up our suspicion on him." She nodded and began to think.

"For now follow your leads and keep this information under wraps. We can't afford our enemy to know we're on to them. Until there's proof that he's innocent keep a close eye on him." She said as she handed you the files you gave her.

"Keep those files with you I'm sure if I kept them with me someone might try to read them." She said as you grab the files as well as a letter.

"Understood your majesty."

"You dismissed." You bowed to her and began to exit the room. When you almost reached for the door you turn around to the table near the door.

"Your majesty those are very lovely flowers." She nodded giving a sign to check. When I looked in there was an audio recorder recording the whole conversation we had.

'Its pretty obvious they wanted to know the information we have.'

"Your majesty who else has come to see you? I'm just a bit curious." You asked curious that this might heklp your investigation.

"My big brother Schniezel was here a few minutes before you arrive. He's also the one who the brought the flowers as well." Nunnally said as yiu stop the recording.

"Do you mind if I check it before I leave."

"Go right ahead there might a camera in it." You checked and like she said there was a tiny camera recording everything.

"I would like to take this with me if you don't mind."

"Take the whole vase and flowers and give them to someone else. Give them to Cornelia I'm sure this will put you both at ease." You nodded and went as ordered.

'Now I got proof he's onto us. But first I might need to change these flowers into a different vase I'm so lucky I wore gloves today.'
