“Do you have… sometime tomorrow? If possible, when I die, I want you to be the one to pick me up…”
“I’ll be here the entire time. If it’s only that, I can grant your request. Consider it special treatment.”
“How kind of you.”
“If I don’t do that much, I don’t know what kind of complaints I’ll get later.”
“You understand very well.”
God smiled bitterly once again.
From there, I asked a variety of questions.
‘If I hadn’t done anything, how would I have died?’
I was truly excited to hear the answer to that question. However, it turned out that His Highness Sazanjill would have accidentally stabbed me. Due to hearing rumors that I was going to be assassinated, I carried a dagger for self-defense. Thus, His Highness Sazanjill tried to confiscate it. Because of our strained relationship, I misunderstood and desperately fought back. The rest was history.
That’s a splendidly outrageous way to die…
Then, history distorted the facts into something like, ‘Lelouche Elcage was condemned.’
Truth is stranger than fiction, indeed.
Afterwards, when I asked god about the affairs of my family, he said that quite a lot of people harbored grudges and envy towards them—especially the head of the Fable family. My father broke his engagement with a member of the Fable family to marry the beautiful princess of a foreign country.
