His Witch , His Queen

Chapter 5

" my wish ... is to die "

Lelouch was dumbfounded . He didn't expect that . Why would she wish such a thing ? He intended to ask her but unfortunately , she never allowed him to . It seems as if she was avoiding the subject . Why would someone wish to end their life when life offers them exiting things ? Why she chose to end it when people are scared of death ? He couldn't understand .

"your highness?" it was the minister's voice that causes him to snapped out from his deep thought . He was in a meeting with the ministers for god sake . He need to concentrate .

" just go on with the reports . " said Lelouch

Throughout the meeting , Lelouch could not concentrate at all . He couldn't stop thinking about her. Much to his chagrin , the person who causes him so much trouble was no where to be found or maybe he just not looking hard enough .

" Where is she ? " said Lelouch more likely to himself .

" looking for someone , your highness ?" asked Suzaku

" You knew exactly who is that person , Suzaku " said Lelouch

" thought so . I was wondering why the palace was quiet lately . Usually you two will cause a ruckus first thing in the morning "

" I can never understand her " sigh Lelouch

Suzaku chuckled . Lately , Lelouch always looking out for C.C . The young king may not admit it , but Suzaku couldn't help but notice that Lelouch starts to care for her ever since the day he shouted at the royal library just to look for her .

" Suzaku , what makes people wish that they're better off dead than being alive?" Lelouch asked

Suzaku looked at Lelouch . Indeed the young king was serious .

" There're many factors Lelouch . I can't exactly tell you which because people are different you know . " said Suzaku

" I see . "

Meanwhile , at the royal Library , C.C was reading the future of the country .

" something...something is coming .." she said

In her vision , destruction occurs . The sea was wavering and the people are running . A monster appear. A Cyrus to exact . She knew the monster very well yet something seems to be not right .

" Quickly call the King to meet me here ! " said C.C to the guards with an alarmed tone

_____

" your majesty , lady C.C wish to see you right away at the royal library " informed the guards to Lelouch

" now she's ordering me around .. I'm the king here " said Lelouch

" at least you don't need to look for her anymore " said Suzaku

Lelouch couldn't agree less . At least he didn't need to waste his energy to go out and find her . Thus , both the young king and his royal knight made their way to the royal library .

" Glad you came " commented C.C

" who do you think you are to order me around ?" said Lelouch

" but you did came . " smirk C.C

One could see there's a lightning spark between the two of them . Indeed , its been quite something since the last time both of them fight like this but now is not the time .

" Ahem . . . Did anything happen ? You did request Lelouch to came over here immediately " ask Suzaku

" Nothing happened yet " said C.C which causes Lelouch to be angry but before he could shout or shutter any word she continue.

" but it will soon . "

" what will happen ?" Lelouch is curious

" apparently a sea monster will attack this country and if you don't make a move now , Geass will soon be in danger "

" a sea monster ? " said Suzaku

" which sea monster ? can you be specific ? " ask Lelouch

" Its the Cyrus " said C.C

Lelouch knitted his brows . " Impossible . Cyrus is the most gentle and shy creature ! "

" That's what bothering me too " said C.C

" Its impossible . " said Lelouch in disbelieve

" So are you defying my vision?" said C.C in rather annoyed tone

"A vision is just a mere prediction . It either be true or the other way around . Besides I can't fully trust you just yet . " said Lelouch

C.C said nothing . She just stare at him with a blank face . Lelouch quickly made his way out of the royal library followed by Suzaku .

" Lelouch , what she said might be true " said Suzaku

" Suzaku , a Cryrus is the most gentle monster out there . I will never kill let alone attack this country . "

" well its true that is the nature of Cyrus but a witch vision can be true "

Lelouch ignore the words that was said by Suzaku . He couldn't accept the fact that a Cyrus will attack his country .

" Ignorance will kill you, young king " said a familiar voice

" I just think what is right and you should know more than anyone that Cyrus will never attack a country , Metallica" said Lelouch

" Cyrus is indeed a gentle creature but when a white cloth is dip into a black ink , it would be black isn't it , young king ? "

" what are you implying ? " ask Lelouch

" You'll see it soon . " said Metallica before disappearing out of thin air.

And that was the last time Lelouch ever see Metallica . It was as if he just vanished but Lelouch knew that Metallica will be back soon . Lelouch is the master no ? Several days had passed since the day C.C told Lelouch her vision and nothing happened . Just when Lelouch wanted to push away the incident , the shocking news came .

" YOUR MAJESTY!! THIS URGENT !! " said one of the minister .

The news that the minister causes Lelouch to n0t to bat an eyelid . Lelouch could not believe it and decided to travel to Duston , a country located north .

" impossible .... " shock can be clearly seen on Lelouch face

" Duston is a beautiful country ..." said Suzaku who act as Lelouch escort

Duston , once known as the most beautiful country , the most lively city now destroyed . Not even a single trace of its golden time was left . Everything is wipe out . Children were crying , houses were now down into pieces . Its hard to believe that Bordon was once a country . All this destruction were cause by Cyrus , the creature Lelouch thought was gentle .

" Do you believe me now ? " ask C.C

" Lets stop the Cyrus before its too late " said Lelouch with a serious face .
