The silence of the chamber is broken only by the rhythmic tap of boots on cobblestone. An assassin, bound by duty to dismantle the Britannian Empire, closes in on their first target: Lelouch vi Britannia. The mission is precise—eliminate the prince whom the Emperor neglects, triggering a retaliatory strike that will leave the throne heirless. Lelouch, unaware of the deadly intent, turns just as the obsidian dagger rises. The blade hovers inches from his flesh. His violet eyes, sharp and unnervingly calm, lock onto the attacker’s. The dim lamp casts long shadows, illuminating the assassin’s trembling hand. "Do you need something?" Lelouch asks, his voice steady, eyes gleaming with an unsettling intelligence.
