Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 148: The Grand Vizir's determination

Atleasian Empire, Grand Vizir's office.

Lelouch had a dark gaze as he looked at the recent reports of the Brotherhood.

A Pink haired fierce beauty was standing by his side, as his guard. Noticing his unusual face, curiosity had taken a hold of her.

And she started peeking, like a bothered little cat.

Lelouch noticing her prying gaze, immediately took off the paper, as he smiled teasingly:

"No, no"

"Those are classified state affairs"

Kallen who saw herself exposed, immediately acted as stoic as before. The Vizir looking at the beautiful girl behaving this way only sighed:

"Are you going to act like nothing just happened?"

Kallen responded, without even a hint of shame:

"What are you talking about, Great Vizir? Is there a problem?"

"Yes there is a problem"

He looked at her, somewhat exasperated:

"It's you Kallen."

"Are you going keep standing like that all week?"

"I already told you. I am in no need of a Bodyguard."

"Even if it was the case"

"Do you really think you can do a better job than the soldiers of the Empire?"

A glint of teasing malice appeared on his purple eyes:

"Or maybe do you feel like you lost your place by my s-"

Kallen interrupted him, a little pissed off by his rude remarks:

"I don't understand what you are talking about!!"

"I already told you!!"

"I am only here to repay his majesty's favor. He helped a lot with the reconstruction of my Home Country. This has nothing to do with you!!"

Lelouch massaged his temples:

"If this the case, then why are you hereAren't other people in the Empire in more need of your help?"

Kallen was even more pissed off!

'That insensible bastard!'

"I am here to keep an eye on you!! Your Majesty may be fooled but I know very well!!"

"You tend to get overconfident!! And slack off!!! I won't let you ruin his Majesty's hard work!!"

This time it was Lelouch who felt offended!! But still kept his calm

'When I was Zero, it was way easier. Sigh.'

He looked deeply at the embarrassed and lost girl.

'She must have a lot on her mind.'

'After all this is all too much for a normal girl.'

Suddenly, the annoying stubbornness appeared cute in his eyes. She was after all, still a high school girl, in essence.

He took a deep breath as an earnest look appeared on his face. He stood up and faced the pink haired beauty:

"Kallen."

Seing his piercing purple eyes. The woman felt her heart pounding, as she made backward steps, shying away from confrontation.

He had a calm and peaceful smile, that had powerful magnetism to it. It wasn't the look of a little boy, but that of a grown man.

Lelouch had grown, his tortuous past and had attained clarity and peace with his own actions and his own people. He now had a clear sense of what was important to him.

He wasn't a child searching for his own identity and place in the world.

He was a man who already found it and was at peace with it.

His resolute steps were heard as he approached her.

She could even hear his breath, feel the screeching of his clothes.

His refined, handsome face. His confident, yet earnest expression. It was indeed heart pounding.

Kallen had already understood it by now:

'He isn't the same man as before.'

To this realization Kallen felt a weird sense of loss. But somehow, she felt atso a powerful hope rise in her. He made further steps until ther wasn't a distance to cross anymore. He spoke calmly:

"Would you like to be my knight?"

"WhWhat?!"

She responded a mix of disappointment and surprise on her voice.

Lelouch noticing that teasingly responded:

"What did you think I was going to ask?"

Kallen embarrassed only stuttered:

"NNo..Nothing!!"

Her heart was practically going out from her chest.

'That Bastard. I will surely make you pay!!'

"So?"

Kallen brought to reality responded:

"So what?!"

Lelouch amused responded:

"Are you interested?"

"A Knight Order will be soon built in the Empire. Each Vizir and governor is entitled to a Personal Knight."

"Euphemia is recommending Suzaku."

"Would you like to go too? As my Knight that is."

Kallen hearing those words finally understood Lelouch meaning.

"A KnightMe"

He smiled, with deep affection in his purple eyes:

"After allYou are right. I do need you to keep an eye on me."

Kallen looked down, a little shook by the Vizir's boldness.

Lelouch was quite the suave man, after all.

In the past, he was chained by numerous constraints, the pressure of a 17 year old boy facing the wrath of a whole Empire.

There was no place for love or affection in his mind. But now

Even if he still has some apprehensions about the Emperor's weird habit of meddling in his subject's love affairs, he intended to pursue his words to the end.

He planned to go in step by step. Be it Kallen, be it C.C, be it Shirley.

No matter how long it took. He will see it through to the end. He will find happiness with the people he cherished.

And he will not push them away.

Kallen, her face crimson, responded shyly, the fierce temper turned off:

"Iwill think about it"

He nodded:

"Good."

His face then turned solemn, as he left his office.

"Let's go."

"Where?'

"To the conference room"

He narrowed his eyes:

"From what I understand, there is some serious measures to be made."

She looked at the back of the man's draped in the luxurious caftan.

Now, he wasn't the playful man, she bickered with.

He was the Grand Vizir of the Powerful Atleasian Empire.

A call was initiated with the different part of the Empire. As all the Vizirs faces appeared on different screens.

The Grand Vizir had a solemn face, as he spoke to the Vizir at work.

"We've received news from Yasrib."

The faces of the Vizirs immediately hardened. Cornelia was the first to speak:

"So they finally made their move, huh"
