Fallen Grace

[Jeremy Hunter]

Planet Orleans, Orleanais; One day before Fallen Grace

"What?"
Lelouch swept his arm across the table. This was not good. "Ciel? Why is she interfering?"
"Because, some of our loyalists come from Anjou."
"Tell her Adelaide has ordered them for cross training on Orleans. I'll send the request to Adelaide with the usual Please Do This Quickly heading."
The man nodded and ran off, leaving Lelouch to rub his temples.
"Get me Captain Renard. He should be at the Main Relay Station on New Paris. Tell him to cut all Loyalist Transmissions and ensure only the transmission of Fallen Grace reach it. Ciel Enflamme cannot reach Ile De France; Eglantine cannot stand against it. And Oblique cannot move from Tau 44 without any suspicion..." Lelouch frowned. "There...might be a way..."
The men looked towards him.
"Make the preparations. Ensure that Elria Ciel is visited by the Shadow of the King." Lelouch stood.
"Ensure Emeline D'Aramis is entangled with the Duchess."
With that, Lelouch, turned to leave.
"Today is our final day of preparations. Good luck."


Acadia, from the shadows, Acadia Celeste sighed.
"Lelouch..." she shook her head. "Using your own sister...is that heartless...or do the ends justify your means?"
Acadia Celeste melted back into the shadows...
"Or...do you wish for Emi to have the connections needed to grow a heart, and become someone that will help you bring honor back to this broken Kingdom?"
