[New Pendragon Imperial Palace, Holy Britannian Empire]
In the very throne room of the Palace, there was the 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, Lelouch vi Britannia, sitting upon his throne. Earlier that day, he was able to claim a small island that was near the empire (it's that small island to the west of the Britannian territory), due to the fact that there was a good amount of Sakuradite mines on that island, and there, he got the small faction on that island to surrender after one use of a F.L.E.I.J.A with it's limiter on (which is about 5,000 meters to 8,000 meters depending). It was a necessary move for him, Britannia needs the supply of Sakuradite to keep the army's arsenal of Knightmares and all other sorts of military vehicles and weapons in check. With that done, he tried to make deals with the fallen faction's leader, but of course, like most would in that type of situation, the man had refused to acknowledge that Lelouch was in control of the situation. So, to get rid of the possible nuisance, the Emperor had no other choice but to use his Geass on the man, giving him the command to kill himself. Now in present time, Lelouch had to call over a few of his Royal Guards to clean up the mess of the man's 'forced' suicide. In heart, Lelouch wasn't actually a bad person...it was all planned to be that way anyways. Rising from his throne, he had to consider the multiple threats that were present in this world, that his Zero Requiem will have to wait until he was the only threat this world will see.
"You're still frustrated, aren't you Lelouch?" the immortal witch spoke to him as he walked into the hallway from the throne room. CC was one of the few people within the Empire to actually communicate with him personally, especially with the 'contract' the two shared. With that comment of hers, it was certain that they would have to go up against these outside forces some time soon.
"Isn't it obvious? When I finally gain the control of the Damocles and the F.L.E.I.J.A. weapons, I did not anticipate this kind of event happening, and now I would have to shed more blood in order to get back to the fear I had created upon the world," Lelouch sighed while they walked down the hallway and towards the conference hall of the palace.
"The games you play are not easy Lelouch, and it may be suggested for you to play your hand carefully," CC remarked on the fact that he was still determined to achieve the Zero Requiem. At this point it seemed like CC knew so much about the Emperor himself, that she seemed to foretell whatever Lelouch had planned.
"I may have to expand my hand then. Maybe I should have the captured Black Knights join my army, I was the ruler of the world, I have many resources to regain my status," he considered the choice. When he had gotten a hold of the most dangerous weapons in the world, he had captured the entirety of the Black Knights and imprisoned them, planning to 'execute' them, but now he may have to get more use out of them. It's not like the Black Knights have any choice on the matter.
"How about the nearest factions to the Empire? It's no doubt that they'll see you as a threat and try to invade. We need to gain allies, negotiate and if you feel like it later on, dispose of them," CC brought up a point. There were a few forces that were close to the Empire, and it would be no doubt that they'll be attacked if they didn't do anything in time to secure their territory.
"Then we'll negotiate. I can't go out there myself, I would be immediately assassinated the moment I walk onto foreign grounds. I am the Demon Emperor after all. I think that's where you come in, CC, you can speak in the place of the Emperor," Lelouch explained to her, knowing her immortal status would keep her from harm. Once they were at the conference hall doors, Lelouch also added,"Besides, I'm sure our intel has some information to share with us on what we should expect from our 'neighboring' factions."
