Lelouch's Britannia History's course // From the DVD Magazine picture Drama // Canon Info about the Lore and crack settings.

Lelouch's Britannia's history course were short picture drama available as bonus within the Code Geass DVD, with Lelouch teaching Suzaku and co how the world of Code Geass came to life, when it comes to historical settings and the lore; It's very interesting if you are interested in how this uchrony eventually came to life.

The Origin of Britannia Part 1

Lelouch: So here’s the first session. Suzaku: You haven’t changed, Lelouch. I don’t think people will understand what this session is for. Lelouch: I don’t need those who don’t understand. You can only learn if you’re prepared to learn! Suzaku: I’m not sure about those Zero-influenced lines… Oh, but you were always easily influenced as a child. You used to imitate superheroes. Lelouch: Stop talking about something so long ago! Suzaku: But aren’t we talking about history today? We have to talk about long ago. Lelouch: Urgh… being a smart aleck? I’m leaving. Suzaku: Sorry, so sorry. I’m ready to learn, Professor Lelouch. Lelouch: Good. Then tell me. Do you know when Britannia was formed? Suzaku: Of course. This year is 2017 of the Imperial Calendar, so it was 2017 years ago. Lelouch: Wrong. Suzaku: What? But the Imperial Calendar — “a.t.b.” means “Ascension Throne Britannia,” meaning “the year Britannia assumed the throne,” right? Lelouch: It seems you did your homework. I’m impressed. Suzaku: It’s common knowledge. Besides, I was tested during the Honorary Britannian appointment. Lelouch: Then, the grounds of the ascension? Suzaku: Um… I think it was triggered when Julius Caesar tried to invade… Lelouch: That’s right. And one of the Celtic tribal kings who resisted is said to be the ancestor of the Britannian Royal Family. He gained freedom from Rome and was coronated — although it was more like becoming a chieftan — that year is the first year of the Imperial Calendar. Now, what’s the name of this king? Suzaku: Um……… I give up. Lelouch: Hey, Suzaku! You don’t have this simple information!? It’s on the next test! Suzaku: Well, I was busy, so… Lelouch: Then look it up by the next time we meet. Got it?

The Origin of Britannia Part 2

Lelouch: So Suzaku, I’m assuming you did your homework. Suzaku: Of course, Lelouch. Here. Lelouch: Alwin I, eh? Yes, you’re correct. You pass! Suzaku: But people won’t understand what we’re talking about just from this! Lelouch: I, Lelouch, order you. If you want to know, buy the first volume of the DVD! Suzaku: You’re so easily influenced. Anyway… Alwin I is known to be the ancestor of the Britannian Royal Family. He gained freedom from Rome and became the first chieftan, and that year is the year Britannia was formed. I’m right, aren’t I? Lelouch: For now, yes. Then can you tell me who was the Emperor of Rome at the time? Suzaku: … I give up. Lelouch: It was Augustus. Remember that. Now, this Alwin I is only a figure from a legend and there is no proof that he existed. The history of the Empire, the “Britannia Chronology,” indicates that he really existed, but this chronology was created when the Holy Empire of Britannia was founded. So when they founded the empire is when they stuck on the legacy of the Royal Family’s blood as an afterthought to assure their ascension. It’s common in kingship and imperialism. Suzaku: So when am I supposed to recognize when Britannia was founded? Lelouch: I guess you can regard Britannia’s beginnings to be when the descendents of the Tudor family line who went to the New World ended and the Duke of Britannia started the imperial regime. The Imperial Calendar was established then too. It extended back in history and set the first year as a thousand and a couple hundred years ago. Suzaku: I see. Lelouch: Now, do you know when that year was? And who was the emperor who was coronated? Suzaku: Imperial Calendar 1813. The Emperor was Ricardo van Britannia I. Lelouch: Correct. It looks like you studied hard. Suzaku: Yeah. Cecile helped me too. Lelouch: Cecile? Who’s that? Suzaku: My superior of the department I’m in. Lelouch: A woman, eh? You’re good at debauching as always. Suzaku: Debauch… that’s not true! Lelouch: You were always good at getting older women to like you. Suzaku: I’m not doing it on purpose! Besides, why are you bringing up the past like that? Lelouch: Huh? You said it first. That we’re discussing “history.” Suzaku: Urgh…

**I didn't find the videos for the other History Lessons so you'll just have the translation from now on **

The Virgin Queen Elizabeth

Milly: What are you two doing? Suzaku: Oh, hello. I’m learing Britannian history from Lelouch. Milly: I see. But if it’s history, you should ask me. You know that my character’s description is “has a great knowledge in history and will cooly observe the changing world with Zero’s presence.” Lelouch: That description is way old. There’s no hint of it anywhere. Milly: Oh, Lelouch. You are so cheeky. Don’t you agree? Suzaku: Uh, um… I can’t say much there (sweat). Milly: Oh well. Even without that in my description, I’m good at history. The Ashford family has nobility in its line, after all. Lelouch: Formerly, you mean. Milly: Oh, shush. Whose fault do you think that is? Lelouch: Urgh… (sweating heavily). Well, anyway. It’s a good opportunity to ask the president if you have any questions, Suzaku. Suzaku: Let’s see… then can you tell me about the era of absolute monarchism — about the Elizabeth I from the Tudor dynasty? She’s called the Virgin Queen, but isn’t it weird that she has a chld? Milly: That names comes from the fact that she was single for her whole life. There’s her famous line, “I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband — my country.” Suzaku: But she has a kid. Was it Henry IX? Milly: Yes. Bluntly speaking, it was an illegitimate child. Elizabeth I didn’t marry, but she had many lovers. The Earl of Leicester, Earl of Essex and the Duke of Britannia are among the possible fathers. She switched between lovers all of her life. I’m a little jealous. Lelouch: So she was an Amazon. Like someone we know. Milly: What was that, Lelouch? What are you trying to say? Suzaku: I think he meant that you are similar to Elizabeth I. Lelouch: Hey, Suzaku, shut up! You idiot! Milly: I see. By the way, Vice President, did you finish the documents I asked for? Lelouch: No, I’ve been busy lately… I’ll have it done by tomorrow’s deadline. Milly: I changed my mind. I want it now. Lelouch: That’s high-handed, President! Milly: Call me Queen!

Sakuradite and the Age of Exploration

Suzaku: Unh… Shirley: What’s wrong, Suzaku? Are you constipated? Suzaku: Yeah, I feel so bloated… Hey, what are you making me say, Shirley? Shirley: Hee hee. I’ve been hanging around the President too long. But I’m surprised that you could kid around like that. Suzaku: Lelouch trains me well, doesn’t he? Shirley: You guys are really close… I’m so jealous. So, why were you groaning? Suzaku: This. “In (a)’s ‘Description of the World,’ he describes a country known as Jipang, meaning Japan, and that it is a golden island. But it is foolish to think that this country was rich in gold; rather, it was rich in (b). At the time in Europe, research that was inspired by © led to the discovery of an energy source but there was not enough of it, and this hindered the progress. (a)’s 'Discovery of the World’ moved the people to explore the world and eventually led to the discovery of the former United States, currently the conquered territory of Britannia.” Shirley: Let’s see… “Fill in the blanks. If you can.” What is this? Why does this worksheet sound so condescending? Suzaku: Lelouch made it. All of his worksheets are like this. Shirley: Oh, Lulu… (laugh) So the answer to “a” is “Marco Polo,” b is “Sakuradite,” and c is “alchemy.” Suzaku: Wow, you’re good in history! Shirley: No, I’m ot. But I’m good with minerals and geosciences. My father is a geologist. He works in the bureau and he goes around investigating geological conditions. Suzaku: I see… Shirley: But this worksheet really shows Lulu’s personality. Suzaku: Yeah, but I wish… it would show a little more love. Shirley: What are you talking about? It shows a ton of love! Lulu would never do this for anyone he didn’t care for. I’m really jealous now. Suzaku: Why don’t you tell him that you like him? Shirley: Well… huh!? How do you know that I… Suzaku: It’s actually quite obvious. I think the only one who doesn’t know is Lelouch. Shirley: I’ll tell him myself eventually! So please don’t tell him. Promise? Suzaku: Of course. Shirley: Thanks!

The Rebellion of Washington

Lelouch: ~~ ♪ C.C.: You’re in an awfully good mood. Humming, eh? Lelouch: !! Oh, I didn’t know you were there, C.C. C.C.: Why are you so flustered? … Huh? What’s that? Lelouch: It’s none of your buisness. C.C.: Let’s see… “Write the reason why the Rebellion of Washington in the Colonies ended in failure in 1770 a.t.b. in 1,200 words.” Is this homework? But it’s odd that you’re making the worksheet… Lelouch: It’s for Suzaku. Just go away! C.C.: The Rebellion of Washington… that was a long time ago. It’s easy. It’s because Ben betrayed the Continental Congress. Lelouch: Ben? C.C.: Oh, sorry, I mean Benjamin Franklin. Lelouch: Why can’t you just call him the Earl of Franklin? Yes, it’s true that Franklin went to France to ask Louis XVI to support their independence and failed. But that’s not the main reason they lost, is it? C.C.: Well, Louis was willing to help. But when Ben went to France, he met the Duke of Britannia. And he was offered a title and some land in the Colonies, and fell for it. Ben is the type who prefers research to war… he was a kind man. No, too kind. If Ben had asked Louis for support, Louis would’ve given them an army and the Continental Army wouldn’t have lost in Yorktown. And George — I mean, Washington — wouldn’t have died and America wouldn’t have become territorialized. Lelouch: The Duke of Britannia was involved!? That’s not in any of the history materials! C.C.: But it’s the truth. Lelouch: … You talk as if you saw it happen. Could you have possibly…!? C.C.: I’m C.C. I know everything. For example, I can name the song you were just humming. Lelouch: !!!!! C.C.: Was it from 8 years ago? The special effects fighting show that aired on Sunday mornings in Japan. Lelouch: Okay! I got it! Shut up! Sheesh, you’re such a… C.C.: You’re still naive, Lelouch. You can’t beat me in a thousand years. Lelouch: Do you mean figuratively? C.C.: Hee hee. Who knows?

The Humiliation at Edinburgh Lelouch: Good. Good. Damn. Good. Suzaku: Lelouch, can you stop correcting my worksheet out loud? Lelouch: No. Suzaku: Why not!? Lelouch: It’s fun watching your reaction when you get something wrong. Suzaku: Lelouch, you’re a sadist. Lelouch: Okay, 85%. You did pretty good. Suzaku: Because I have a good teacher. Lelouch: Hmph. Flattery won’t get you anything! Suzaku: I’m not flattering you. I really think so. Thanks, Lelouch. Lelouch: … Anyway, today’s session… Suzaku: Um, we’re at the end of the 1700s, when the citizens were starting a revolution. Lelouch: That’s right. Ahem. At the end of the 1700s, all of Europe was facing rebellions that were triggered by the French Revolution. That was when Napoleon started gaining power, was crowned, and had a hold on almost all of Europe. He looked to expand to the British Isles, won the Battle of Trafalgar and held naval supremacy. He then took his 120,000 men and landed on British soil and thereafter advanced to London. The queen at that time, Elizabeth III, was chased to Edinburgh where she was captured by the citizens who supported Napoleon. She was forced to abolish the monarchy in a.t.b. 1807, which is known as the… Suzaku: “Humiliation at Edinburgh.” Lelouch: Right. And the one who saved the queen is Ricardo van Britannia, the man who eventually founded the Britannia Empire. Suzaku: So his existence was important to history. Lelouch: Not so fast. That’s why you’re so naive. You forgot an important person. He will later be featured in many novels, plays and movies: Ricardo’s right-hand man and best friend, and the strongest knight. He was the head of the Knights of the Round, the “Knight of One” — Sir Richart Hector. Suzaku: Oh! I think I’ve heard of him! I think I saw the movie, too. Lelouch: Then there’s no problem. Without Richart, the escape from Edinburgh to the New World wouldn’t have happened. Suzaku: I see… Lelouch: Then next we’ll talk about the founding of the Britannia Empire. Make sure to study! Suzaku: Yes, Professor Lelouch.

The Formation of Britannia Nunnally: Oh, I didn’t know you were here. Suzaku: Yeah. Lelouch was teaching me. Nunnally: When you’re done, would you like to have dinner with us? They’re preparing it now. Suzaku: Thanks, I’d love to. Lelouch: Then Suzaku, we’ll move on to the formation of Britannia. Did you study for this? Suzaku: Leave it to me. So Elizabeth III and the aristocrats who followed her went to the New World and set up a capital on the East Coast. They started conquering America, but Elizabeth III died without leaving an heir. Lelouch: Yeah. And normally they would choose one from among the relatives, but Elizabeth appointed her lover, Ricardo van Britannia I, as the heir on her deathbed. And that is how the Holy Empire of Britannia came to be. Suzaku: It’s an unbelievable story. She’s known as the “Queen who lived an eventful life for love,” right? She might’ve been nice as a lady, but I’m doubtful about her as a ruler. Lelouch: Woah! Stop, Suzaku! Suzaku: Huh? Nunnally: I see… you don’t like Elizabeth III? You don’t think she had what it took to be a ruler? Suzaku: Huh? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cornered? Nunnally: I see… Excuse me, I must go. Suzaku: What happened? Did I say something? Lelouch: Nunnally is a fan of Elizabeth III. When she was younger, she read a highly innacurate story that depicted her as a tragic queen. Suzaku: Oh, I see. I’m sorry. I didn’t know. Lelouch: Well, it’s not anything new that you can’t read the atmosphere. I’m glad you didn’t bring up the theory that she assassinated Napoleon, because the damage would’ve been even more severe. Suzaku: You mean, the theory that Napoleon died on his way back to France after the loss at Waterloo because of poison in his food put in by Elizabeth’s men? Lelouch: Yeah. “I will never forget this humiliation.” It’s a famous quote from her last testament. Nunnally: Lelouch! Suzaku! Dinner is ready. Lelouch: !! Oh, thanks, Nunnally. That was quick. Nunnally: I helped a little, that’s why. Suzaku: Thanks. I thought you’d be mad. Nunnally: Of course not. It was I who invited you. “I will never forget.” Suzaku:/Lelouch: …!!! Nunnally: Please, eat up!

Arrival of the Black Ships Lelouch: So the democratic revolutions continued and the aristocrats from all over Europe, especially France, advocated the release of slaves and the war that started in the southern states became the Civil War. Any questions? Suzaku: None, I get it. Oh? I hear a knock. Come in! Kallen: Oh, Suzaku, Lelouch. What are you two doing? Suzaku: I’m having Lelouch teach me history. Lelouch: That’s right. So if you don’t need anything, you’re in the way. Get out. Suzaku: You don’t have to kick her out. I don’t mind. Come on, let’s continue. Lelouch: Sheesh, you’re too nice. Fine, let’s continue. Britannia worked on stabilizing the country while also looking at foreign opportunities, especially in the Pacific. And finally in 1853 they crossed the Pacific and arrived in Japan. Japan had an isolationist policy and realized that they’d fallen behind the rest of the world. “The denkisen awakens the Pacific slumber; just four cups and we cannot fall asleep.” Are you familiar with this? Suzaku: Of course. I’m Japanese. Lelouch: Oh yeah. Well, it’s obvious but this is a haiku describing the black ships of Britannia arriving at Japan. Suzaku:/Kallen: …! Lelouch: What’s wrong? Suzaku: Oh… just continue, Lelouch. Lelouch: …? Fine. So the denkisen refers to the Britannian ships with outer rings that were operated with electric motors. It must be a phonetic equivalent. They should’ve written it with the kanji for “electric boats,” but since Japan didn’t have the technology for electricity, they used different kanji… Suzaku:/Kallen: … Lelouch: Okay, if you gusy have something you want to say, just say it! Kallen: You’re wrong, Lelouch. That’s not a haiku but a parodied tanka. Lelouch: …!! It’s something similar! Kallen: No, it’s not. And the denkisen actually refers to the expensive tea that was loaded on the boat. Green tea has a lot of caffeine, so the four cups making people not fall asleep is referring to the fact that a commotion was made with just four ships. Lelouch: What!? Is that true, Suzaku!? Suzaku: Umm. Sorry, Lelouch. Kallen is right. Lelouch: Urgh! Kallen: I’m sorry, Lelouch. You were enjoying your rolse as a professor, but I guess I ruined your day. Lelouch: Shut up, you. Perry ship!!

Occupation of Japan

Lelouch: So this is the last session. Suzaku: You’re as abrupt as usual. But isn’t this a bad place to end this? Lelouch: What are you talking about? This is just as I planned. I can’t talk about the a.t.b. 1900s because it’s related to the main plot. I’ve been told not to say anything. Suzaku: Really? But this is the last DVD volume, isn’t it? Lelouch: Urgh! It’s the end but not the end! Anyway, here’s the last session! We’re going to skip to a.t.b. 2010!! Suzaku: You don’t have to yell. Oh, 2010 is the year we first met. Lelouch: Yeah. At that time Japan took advantage of how the Chinese Federation and Britannia were on hostile terms and stayed neutral. They used the sakuradite card, manipulated the distribution, and created a three-way standoff between the Chinese Federation, the EU, and Britannia to enjoy economic prosperity. Suzaku: And no one thought that Britannia would break the balance using military force. Lelouch: That’s right. The common assumption in international relations at the time was that it was taboo to attack Japan. Because once a fire started, all the other factions would follow suit and a full-scale war would break out. But the one who broke the rule… Suzaku: … Was Charles zi Britannia. The 98th emperor of the Holy Empire of Britannia. And your father. Lelouch: That man’s preparations were complete. As a blindside he sent all of the Knights of the Round to Africa and Inda, and the flagship ship, the Great Britannia, to the Indian Ocean; and while others were looking away from the Pacific he seized Japan quickly. The situation was practically decided in the first 24 hours, and by the time the Chinese Federation and EU tried to act, it was too late. And what happened after that… is not necessary to say, I guess. Suzaku: Yeah, you’re right. Lelouch: Now starting tomorrow, I’ll talk about the history of other countries. Don’t forget to study. Suzaku: Huh!? But you said this is the last session. Lelouch: It’s over as in what’s going to be in the DVD booklets. Your class will continue. We’re starting with the Chinese Federation. Suzaku: Why the Chinese Federation? Lelouch: “It’s not the end of the story” is a hint. Suzaku: Sigh… I guess there’s much more… Lelouch: Are you unhappy with that!? After all that I went through to teach you!? Suzaku: No, I’m very grateful, Professor. Lelouch: Very well. Then that’s the end of today’s session!

Sayoko's Diary 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 //DVD specials // Canon.

Sayoko's Diary #1 : The Maid Sees All !

The first Sayoko diary relates her meeting with Suzaku, the night where Lelouch brought Suzaku home to meet Nunnally again. Sayoko knows him as the man who was exonerated from Clovis's murder by Zero. As they enjoy a nice dinner and joked about how they switched situations with Suzaku not being the host anymore, we get back to Sayoko who is struggling to carry a huge ammount of trash bags filled with empty cans she collected for this day; Suzaku comes in, looking for the washrooms and propose his help when he realises she is struggling; as she refuses he still tried to help and…cause a bag of cans to empty itself on the floor. As they pick up the cans together, their hands accidentally touch and Sayoko notice how warm his hand his (Suzaku's charm on older ladies is unmatched <_<) Suzaku then attempts to introduce himself but she already knows who he is, and as he asks her who she is she introduces herself; After that Suzaku tried to get to know her and question her on her job, on her happiness, on her dreams, and if it was the life she wanted before Japan became Area 11.

Eventually they manage to end up picking up the cans and Suzaku is about to go and throw those in the trash; They still have a small exchange, around how they are both japanese and Suzaku who wants to reduce the distance between them, as Sayoko is too polite/distant, and he proposes her to call him Su-san. As he leave before she can react, he thank her for the delicious meal and he is gone.

After he is gone, with a very dere dere voice, Sayoko whisper "Su-san" (Damn Suzaku and his attractiveness) ; Then she begins to daydream, making her personal profile "Shinozaki Sayoko, 24 years old, and begins to wonder about what she is feeling currently (This is…Love ?!)

We then jump to another day where Soayoko is daydreaming about Suzaku when she hears Lelouch talking to him; As she rushed to her window to yell "Su -saaaaan" she is interrupted by a talk between Suzaku and Lelouch where Suzaku asks Lelouch to pretend he doesn't know him at school, so he doesn't get into trouble; Lelouch tries to counter but as you can imagine the whole talk seems suggestive and Sayoko ends up thinking….Suzaku and Lelouch are in a relationship ! Sayoko is dumbstruck and thinks she now knows their secret.

Sayoko's Diary #2 : The Maid Sees All !

As there isn't much work today, I decided to go thoroughly clean up Lelouch-sama's room...

...or at least planned to.

Since Lelouch-sama's room is characteristically methodical, the lack of garbage is a given, and there's not even a single strand of hair on the floor. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

The bedsheets are the same as they were when I changed them yesterday----no, they're even cleaner than before, and there's not a single wrinkle on the bed covers.

I think it's stupid to judge people solely based on their blood type, but

...A-type men are indeed scary.

There wasn't much of anything to do, so I lay down on the floor and had a little afternoon nap. Then, I checked under the bed, but though he's a high school student, there's nothing hidden there.

No, no, that's an amateur attendent's way of thinking. With that methodical, perfectionist principle iron-walled weakness-hiding personality, he'd never see a place so common as 'under the bed' as valid for secrets. Then again, he wouldn't do things other people would like hiding stuff in the refrigerator just to be unpredictable, either. If Lelouch-sama is to hide anything...

No. I shouldn't write these things in a diary.

By the time I opened my eyes, it was already dusk. The sunset I saw through the window reminded me of when I was still a little girl.

I remember seeing a much more beautiful sunset than this sky.

When I stopped to stand and look at that sky, Mother would pull my hand and scream 'run faster!' to me. Nobody around us bothered to look at the sunset, they were all running. Running for their lives.

That day, too, was the sunset for Japan.

I'll never forget how beautiful that day's sunset was for my entire life.

Even if I die, even if I become ashes in the wind, I'll never forget.

Sayoko's Diary #3 : The Maid sees All !

I wonder if those who break taboos are those shouldering an inordinate amount of mental anguish and distress---------

Lelouch-sama ordered me to never clean his room one morning, a few days before Suzaku-san came to the academy. "Lelouch-sama is an adolescent maturing into an adult, and is therefore currently in a sensitive phase" was how I interpreted it, as this is an exceedingly common occurrence. ...However, now that I think about it, that was a shallow notion and I should have given more thought to it.

Sounds were heard coming out of Lelouch-sama's room even though no one was supposed to be in there, so I knocked on the door. There was no reply, and at once the word "burglar" crossed my mind. Come to think of it, Lelouch-sama told me not to clean his room, but he never said anything about not entering it. In a situation like this, protecting the house while everyone else is away is of the utmost priority. Having come to that conclusion I mustered up my courage and opened the door.

----------The scene I was presented with was so shocking I felt as though my eyes had been drilled through.

The bedsheets were rumpled, and for some reason the room was enveloped with the smell of cheese. What's more, I was shocked to see what were obviously white, female clothings hanging on the wall, and long boots carelessly kicked off on the bed...

I had no idea puberty was capable of changing a person to such an extent. It seems that Lelouch-sama has already made his foray into the territory exclusive to maniacs obsessed with altering one's appearances. ("Henshin", literally "to change one's body") Now that I think about it, Lelouch-sama has not been home much lately and has been doing a lot of whispering over the phone. If I think of his recent behaviour as him conversing with like-minded people who share his peculiar values and then going out to attend assemblies specially for such people, it all makes sense. Not to mention there's been a rumour going around about Lelouch-sama's "embarassing photos" after the cat incident the other day. (Episode 6)

From a young age the 2 siblings have had no one else to rely on but each other, and Lelouch has always given it his all without once uttering a single word of complaint. It is precisely because of this that, even if Lelouch-sama has one or two unspeakable interests, I will absolutely never look down on him. However, even so, should the other members of the Student Council or the naive Suzaku find out about Lelouch and his crossdressing fetish, the astronomical gap ( The "gap" here is the inconsistency between Lelouch's cool, popular with the girls appearance and his supposed crossdressing fetish) will surely shock them senseless. To say nothing of Nunnally-sama finding out; I cannot even begin to imagine the confusion and bewilderment she will feel towards the only relative left to her now...

I swear an oath right here and now. I must conceal Lelouch-sama's secret awakening no matter what. (It's something like a spiritual awakening... though obviously not spiritual in this sense >__>) I will protect Lelouch-sama's sole source of solace to the very end.

*end Sayoko's diary*

Sayoko's Diary #4: The Maid Sees All !

The resistance group known as "The Black Knights" is currently causing a great stir. Neither the Japan Liberation Front nor terrorists, this Resistance protects the defenseless weak from the threats of those armed with weapons; it is a principle upheld without concern for ideologies. The leader of these "Black Knights" is the man who murdered Prince Clovis, a masked man going by the name "Zero". Why does "Zero" wear a mask...? The "Noh" extracurricular lesson I was shown during my primary school days suddenly comes to mind. (Noh as in the classical japanese dance drama) Back then, I had been somewhat afraid of that expressionless Noh mask. To my understanding, in this particular form of art, the mask worn allows the discarding of both personality and name, and as such emotions and thoughts are brought into stark relief. Indeed, when denouncing something anonymously, or conversing with those whose faces cannot be seen, our character and feelings will inevitably manifest themselves as exhibits of crassness and insensitivity. Perhaps "Zero", too, acquires his wings, the freedom to express himself and carry out justice, only when he is behind his mask; If that is indeed the truth, what then is "Zero" searching for, vacillating in the dark interval between his mask and real face? ...I see, Perhaps the desire to alter his appearances that has burgeoned forth in Lelouch-sama too, was born of the same providence as "Zero"'s mask. ("Providence" is Sayoko's exact word-choice, and didn't make much sense in the original sentence either.) Perhaps it is only when Lelouch-sama is in the white clothing and long boots carelessly discarded about his room that he is able to discover his "true self" in the mirror. Still, just between the two of us, it appears that of late, Lelouch-sama has stopped limiting himself to crossdressing and has even gone on to cat suits, further expanding the scope of his deep interests. From the opposite sex to animals.... just where, exactly, is Lelouch-sama heading for...? ( From crossdressing to beastiality... oh my!) Nay. I shall stop writing such things in my diary. It is now 2 in the morning, and that is the reason I've begun to think in such a contentious manner. Petals scatter from the flower vase in the wake of my sigh. Tomorrow I will work out a little and make an effort to sleep well at night. (END)

Sayoko's Diary #5: The Maid Sees All !

I've been wondering lately; Has Lelouch-sama no interest in girls whatsoever? I returned to their quarters in the early afternoon, after having attended to my affairs. Once there, Shirley-sama's voice could be heard coming in through the window. Shirley-sama was getting all fired up on her own, saying things like "I did it!" and "He'll come, right?`"; It appears that Shirley-sama has finally decided to check Lelouch. (Check as in "checkmate". This is Sayoko's exact word-choice; I couldn't think of a more poetic way of saying this in English, so I left it as it is.) (The following is an addendum written in defense of my honour. I am absolutely not indulging in the act of prying into and second-guessing what goes on in the love affairs of young men and women. My having overheard Shirley, who had been shouting to herself rather loudly, was nothing more than a coincidence.) However, Lelouch-sama was still his usual self. Admittedly, Lelouch-sama isn't one to show his agitations nor mood on his face. Still, the spring of our lives lies in the blossoming love stories experienced during our adolescence, around the age of 17 or 18. And yet Lelouch-sama is going through that critical period without showing the least hint of interest... Today, as with all days, Lelouch, upon his return, headed straight for Nunnally's room and the both of them were soon talking in whispers. At that very moment I had brought them Nunnally's medicine, but as Lelouch and Nunnally-sama were hand-in-hand and engaged in their own impenetrable, tender world, I simply could not bear to disturb the both of them... Could it be that... Lelouch-sama's secret doesn't stop at his desire to alter his appearance? Nunnally-sama once told me that long ago, she and Euphie-sama, a lady of noble birth, fought over Lelouch-sama. It isn't unheard of for young girls who think the world of their family members to confuse their feelings for love and speak of marriage. ...But could it be that this beautiful misunderstanding still exists between the two siblings? With no means of escape from that miniature garden, is it not possible that, unable to direct them anywhere else, Lelouch-sama is sublimating the three major desires of adolescence by immersing himself in the unique pleasure acquired through the act of crossdressing...? Nay. I shall stop writing such delusional nonsense in my diary. Tonight as well, the aroma of baked cheese wafts from Lelouch-sama's room. It is precisely times like these that I must pull myself together... (END)

Sayoko's Diary #6 :The Maid Sees All !

I hear that the man who was brandishing a chainsaw in Clovisland is now under police custody. That amusement park has a jinx on it, one that goes: "Couples who come here will break up". The following is something I heard from a friend of mine, currently working part-time at Clovisland. It concerns a blonde highschool student who keeps going to marriage interviews and coming to the park on dates, with a different man each time. It appears that this lady does not fancy the sort of rides that are said to "become picturesque when a lady is on it", such as Merry-Go-Rounds and Swan Lake Boats. Of these attractions, there is one; the Coffee Cup, to be specific -- which the lady, surprisingly, likes, but it seems that her manner of enjoying it is fairly difficult to swallow. She puts her back into spinning the steering wheel in front of her, spinning the cup round and round ; I used to do this as well during my teenage years, but in her case it doesn't stop there. The lady in the Ashford uniform has acquired an idea of fun that clearly does not belong to this world; she steps on the brakes with incredible force while the cup is still spinning, channels all her efforts into having it spin the other way and other such unbelievable acts. The man on board with her ended up dashing to the toilet the very second he got off -- and that isn't even the half of it. She rocks the ferris wheel gondola, just to see whether it is possible to have it do a complete 360 turn. While driving the Go-cart, she puts the attendant in a spot by insisting she "wants to try driving through". On the jetcoaster (jetcoaster = rollercoaster), she screams "My teeth are dryyyy!?", causing the other passengers to burst into laughter. She pedals the Sky Cycle like she means it, with the intended consequence of terrifying and urging on the cyclist in front of her. In the Haunted House, she chases after the part-timer playing the role of the monster, teases him and doesn't let up until tears are shed. Over at the Kids' Zoo, she feeds the Student Council register to the goats, thereby ensuring the absolute confidentiality of all personal information in it... Everything I have described thus far is considered by this lady, whose grandfather is rumoured to be the chairman of a school somewhere, as a "lovely way to enjoy things". Once, when she got on the Panda, one of the Melody Pets rides, and challenged her date on the Lion to a game of Chicken, those who were there to see it claimed that they "felt as thought they had caught a glimpse of the shadowy side of the Britannian empire". Moreover, her casting her utterly incomprehensible "Guts!" spell at the man as he leapt off the Lion for dear life was such a frightening sight that not only the children but the parents, too, were left quaking in its wake. The talk of a marriage interview has come up again for this lady, or so I've heard. I'm sure this will be the start of a new page in history for Clovisland, of which its legendary reputation as the "Land of Separation" is currently being secretly circulated as the truth. As for the man who will be brought to that park of love, oblivious to the fate awaiting him -- I'd like to send a prayer out to him from the bottom of my heart. (The "Park of Love" can also be translated as "Garden of Love", but since it's a themepark and all, I decided to stick with "park" even though "garden" sounds better. It's something of a wordplay in Japanese.) (END)
