<rumbling roaaaar>
Hmph.
ODYSSEUS
Oh?
What's that?
<tremble, tremble>
SCHNEIZEL
It's all right, Nunnally.
<takes hand>
It's just what's necessary.
NUNNALLY
B...
Big Brother Schneizel...
SCHNEIZEL
Now, shall we go put a stop to Lelouch?
(With the Damocles.)
The flying fortress deals a crushing blow...

<Volume 1 comes out on February 9th!!>
(If you have everything, you might as well have nothing at all.
Status, extraordinary talent, a promising future...
What can those who were born with everything aspire to?
Nothing.
Consequently, nothingness is what I have.
I am hollow.)
(Having none of it myself,
I am quite drawn to those with strong willpower.
Those whose hearts burn to oppose me.
Those who seek to achieve their dreams.)
(Those consumed by their studies.
All their feelings, so potent
so fervent
so passionate.
While in their presence, I can even delude myself into believing that I, too, share their fever.
So, I use my abilities to feed into theirs.
In the hopes of feeling that fever,
of making this hollow vessel its next host.
That is, perhaps, my one and only wish.)
(So, his words settled beautifully inside of me.1)
SUZAKU
Will you do it, Your Highness?
Make me your Knight of One?
SCHNEIZEL
(Only the Emperor can appoint a person the Knight of One.)
SCHNEIZEL
(Suzaku Kururugi knew as much.)
(What he was really saying was that he wished me to become emperor.)
(As someone with so much to offer, I have been given many roles to play — ever since my childhood.
The dependable older brother.
The boarding school prefect.
The Britannian prime minister.
I have been sought after to be many things, but never the Emperor...)
(Still, is this role really meant for me?
I did briefly consider assassinating my father, Charles, and ascending the throne.
However, the world is changing unpredictably.
And above all, he—
Lelouch could hardly be expected to let it end like that.)
(So I had no choice but to prepare the best move I could possibly make.)

<quiet vroom>
Nunnally.
Thank heavens you're all right...
NUNNALLY
I know that voice —
Big Brother Schneizel!
SCHNEIZEL
(When it comes to vying for the throne, there are those better suited to it than I.)
(Lelouch is trying to destroy the world of "today".
This, I will not allow.)
Nunnally...
As I told you before, Lelouch is reported to have survived!
However...
NUNNALLY
My brother was...
That is, Big Brother Lelouch2 was always so gentle.
NUNNALLY
After Mother passed away and I became disabled, he was always there —
— helping me through life.
NUNNALLY
But... at some point, he completely changed.
Deceiving people, hurting people...
Throwing the world into chaos...
I want... to stop him!
SCHNEIZEL
Nunnally...
SCHNEIZEL
Gentlepeople of the Rounds...
I intend to aid Nunnally in her attack on the false emperor, Lelouch.
What will your move be, as the Emperor's personal force?
Lelouch vi Britannia...
is no emperor!
BISMARCK
There is but one thing for us to attempt.
And that is the subjugation of this pretender to the throne.
(However — no.
Rather, I should say, as expected...
Lelouch made a show of annihilating them all.)
What shall we do, Your Excellency?
SCHNEIZEL
Yes...
SCHNEIZEL
(In the end, it seems that you and you alone... are capable of matching me on a level playing field.)
The next move, I suppose, is mine to make.
<beep, beep, beep...>
SFX
<rumble, rumble>
CECILE
P, Pendragon...
LLOYD
...
LLOYD
!!
Cecile!
Inform Emperor Lelouch and Suzaku!
They destroyed Pendragon?!
LELOUCH
!
Curses!
He beat me to the first move...
Now, then.
SCHNEIZEL
It's time, Nunnally.
SCHNEIZEL
(I'm expected to maintain the status quo.)
(Which makes both Charles's fixation on the past and Lelouch's quest for the future equally needless.)
SCHNEIZEL
I'm afraid I won't be recognizing you as Emperor.
LELOUCH
Indeed.
LELOUCH
And I suppose you think that you'd be better-suited to it...
No,
you're quite wrong, there.
SCHNEIZEL
(And that is why you'll let me win this game,
Lelouch.)
SCHNEIZEL
The one better-suited to rule Britannia is her.
Wha—!?
SCHNEIZEL
(The best moves are all about timing.)
NUNNALLY
Brother,
Suzaku...
You are my enemies.
(So, then, Lelouch...
How will you respond?)
