Everyone lower your weapons at once! In my name, I command you!
EEuphie
I am Euphemia li Britannia of the Empire, and the Third Princess of the Royal Family!
ELEuphemia li Britannia
I'm assuming command here, now fall back!
It is her, it's the princess.
CCécile
Didn't you know it was her, Lloyd?
Uh-huh, but she's been a student up until now, and doesn't need a public debut yet.
We... We're truly...! We're truly sorry, Your Highness!
Milady! I had no idea who you were. Please forgive me, Princess!
Suzaku, you and I bear similar deep pain. You have lost your father as I have lost my brother.
Will you let me help you in your quest ensure that no one ever again has to suffer the lost of a loved one on the battlefield?
Yes, I'm... I'm not worthy of your kindness!
(Lelouch reveals the Black Knights to the world.)
LLelouch (as Zero)
People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit! We are the Black Knights!
CCécile
Black Knights?
Ironic, isn't it? The terrorists referring to themselves as knights?
We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield…regardless of whether they be Elevens or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and they mercilessly executed them! It was a wanton and meaningless act; therefore, they have been punished…
You heard me right! I said let it run! Liable?! I'll be the one responsible for this!
…just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty or formidable our foe may be!
(Thinking.) Knights…for justice?
Those of you with power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!
[Cécile is playing human whack-a-mole with an inflatable mallet at the student festival]
CCécile
[giggles] School festivals are such fun! I feel so free! [giggles again]
BSBritannian soldier #1
That one she keeps whacking, doesn't he look like Lloyd?
BSBritannian soldier #2
No great wonder. Working under that guy must really drive her out of her mind.
[Lloyd, Cécile, Nina, Suzaku, and Anya are discussing plans for an impending attack on Tokyo]
CCécile
Huh? Mount the F.L.E.I.J.A. onto the Lancelot?
Well, the intention was for Suzaku to pilot the Guren, but…
CCécile
Sorry, he's right. I got so carried away I forgot. It's just, Lloyd and I got so wrapped up in our little hobby that we--
Rakshata's mechanisms are quite easy to tinker with. Now it's so souped up it can't be flown! End result, you're our little devicer again!
Excuse me, Professor Lloyd? Now that you've mentioned the Lancelot--
You wouldn't mix up a strategic weapon with a tactical one, would you?
I have thought it through. Any matter caught in the primary effect field will be annihilated by the F.L.E.I.J.A.s rapid sphere collapse.
CCécile
Hold on! You want Suzaku to fire a weapon like that?!
He'll kill his own people. A massacre.
Suzaku, you don't consider yourself an Eleven anymore, right? That's why I want to entrust the F.L.E.I.J.A. to you.
You'd give me…that burden?
You were Princess Euphemia's knight, so naturally.
[spins in a circle before facing Nina] Nina, darling, a fine quandary. Might just kill Suzaku…and take you along as well.
[Lloyd is despairing over the theft of the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N.]
You thieves! That's mine, all mine!
CCécile
Oh, not quite! I did some of the upgrades, remember?
Oh, right, it's actually a collaboration. Oh, what am I talking about?! With a capable devicer, even at 60% output, that unit can cut the other Knightmares to ribbons!
[Meanwhile, Rakshata is indignant over Lloyd and Cécile's tampering with the original Guren Mk-II.]
That's the Earl of Pudding's work and Cécile's energy wings! How dare they, altering my Guren without my permission!
Still, now that we've got Kallen back in the combat zone…
…it will even up the battle!
[Lloyd and Cécile are on board the Avalon; Cécile is suiting up for deployment in her own Knightmare Frame]
CCécile
Why did you try to stop Suzaku?
I'm a military contractor.
CCécile
You didn't want him killed, did you?
Why should I care? You know as well as I do. The biggest human flaw is that we're so pitifully fragile in our bodies, our hearts, and our relationships with each other.
CCécile
[puts on her earpiece] Nevertheless, you can't bend the world or people any which way you want.
I want every part in my mechanisms to function exactly as I wish. If we lose Kururugi, we'll just have to find another devicer.
