Lelouch was resting in the room when he hear the ear piercing of the alarming bell from outside . He could see the once dark sky was illuminated with a scarlet glow . He could here the villagres scream
" Fire ! Fire !" They screamed
Lelouch quickly walked out of his room and notice that both Anya and Sayako were on their guard . As soon as that , he could hear the slam of the door and saw Jeremiah walked into the house
" What happened ?" asked Sayako
" A fire probably. Lets hope its not them" said Jeremiah
" Them ? What do you mean ? Is there anyone who might cause this fire?" asked Lelouch which earns him a glare from Jeremiah
" Mind your own business kid" said Jeremiah
" Wha..?" Lelouch was about to retord but his efford was remain futile as Jeremiah ignore him .
" Sayako go and help the villagers to put out the fire . Anya you go and evacuate the children just in case . I'll handle the rest" said Jeremiah while the other two nod in agreement
" I can help as well" said Lelouch
" no . You stay here" said Jeremiah sternly . The boy hardly can find his way out of the forest ..how can he defend himself if he were in danger ? He'll just be in the way A nuisance ! A burden ! He's nothing like his late highness
" I'll repeat this again : You'll be remaining here " said Jeremiah as he glared through Lelouch
No matter how he hates being told what to do , somehow Lelouch couldn't fight against Jeremiah . The older guy seems like he can read him through soul .
He watched as Jeremiah and the others make their way out of the house .

When Jeremiah arrive at the location indeed he was a little too late . The villagers were all tied up. The fire was no ordinary fire . It was a fire cause by some rebellious group .
" Dont try doing any funny stuff or I'll kill these villagers" said one the rebellion .
Jeremiah could just take him out with one hit and as for others , both Sayako and Anya are more than capable to eliminate them .
" What are you doing ? I said get yourself here and get tied already !" said the man
Such impatience . Jeremiah hates such impatience people . They always gets on his nerve .
Should I attack him from here ? no . That wouldn't be best . I should at least make myself near - thought Jeremiah
and so Jeremiah walked like he was asked to when he heard another commotion at the other side .
" What's up with that noise Ohgi ?" asked the man as he was approached by another man who Jeremiah assumed his name was Ohgi
" We've captured them . Apparently they were hiding at the west side of the village" said Ohgi
Jeremiah notice among the ones that were capture were Anya , Sayako and the children
" heh ..thought they could hide eh ? well no one can hide from me, The Great Tamaki!" said the man
" Just you wait .. the ..the king will save us and punish you! " said a young girl timidly who earns a glare from Tamaki
" Let me tell you something kid ..the king wont care about you. He has lots of wealth and people , losing one or two wont have an effect on him. Royalties are arrogant after all. " said Tamaki in disguested
" no.. His highness will definitely come and save us" said the girl much to Tamaki's annoyance
" oh yeah ? well how about I kill you first ? and we'll see whether this King of yours will care to come and save you or not" said Tamaki as he drew out his sword and point out to the girl
" no ..stop ! she's just a kid" yelled one of the midwife
" they said if we were to teach someone .. we might as well teach them while their young . I'll show you how cruel your beloved King can be" said Tamaki
The little girl closed her eyes in fear
Jeremiah was preparing himself to attack the man and so does Anya and Sayako who happened to wait for the right moment to strike and the signal from Jeremiah .
But what Jeremiah least expected was the sound of the sword clash , and the sword that once held by Tamaki flew and drop to the ground a few meters from him .
Surprise were visible in everyone including Jeremiah .
There , stood a young man , Raven hair and pair of purple eyes . Embracing protectively the young girl . Holding the sword of his own .
" The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort or convenience but where he stands at time of challenge on controversy. Lets see how well you perform , Lelouch" said C.C as she observe the scene unfold from the distance
