But the artist did one better: Made Kallen Knight of Minus One. Knight ranks at this point turn into DBZ power levels - you can always one-up the enemy One More Time.

In all honesty, Knight of Minus One sounds ridiculous. Where is the point if you can have a Knight of -1000? That heavily implies there being further 1012 positions in the Rounds, and of what worth is an elite force of virtuose knights of this many members?
Also, the artist making Kallen Empress and Nunnally not is an unforgivable sin.

I know (about the knight ranks), which is why I compared it to the ridiculousness of Dragon Ball power levels.
And the other thing: As much I as like the good ship Lamperougecest, it still does have those unfortunate inbreeding issues, whereas Kallen provides fresh genetics. And I find Kallen to be a very sympathetic girl, and she and Lelouch's relationship got so much more development. And if Lelouch and Nunnally were together, then Kallen would be left by the man she loves, and I'd feel sad for her, as I would Nunnally vice-versa. That's all I'm saying.

Now while I believe inbreeding to be not so great an issue at 4 per cent, I believe it was stated they are immortal which would pretty much make children a trap. Be happy for 18 years, then see them getting older than yourself, than see them die. And an immortal emperor needs no issue.
And Kallen can have Gino XD

Oh yeah, forgot about the immortality there.
But Gino, really? - What do you have against Kallen?
There's just not enough Lelouch for all the ships he's on.

I simply don't like Kallen ... well, not as much as Nunnally and C.C. out of his possible love interests. I know I should pity her for being condemned to eternal fanservice, but whatever -- it's annoying to have her breasts shoved into your face every single episode.
And, of course, he's Nunnally's. I mean, seriously --

"It has been seven years since I last saw your face, brother. It is the face of a siscon." Lelouch blushed, so did Nunnally. "I guess I have the same face now."
His eyes widened, then a smile crept unto his face.
Slowly Lelouch approached her, knelt and bowed his head. His sister winced, shying away in her wheelchair as he took his sabre from his side and offered it up to her. "Your Majesty," he whispered, "I submit me to your mercy. Order me or punish me as you see fit."
For a long moment their silenced, the fallen Emperor remaining on his knees. Nunnally closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath. Then she took his sword from her brother's hands and, after a moment, gave it back to him.
Lelouch's eyes widened. With trembling hands he took it back and sheathed it, then offered up his folded hands to her.
Gently Nunnally took her brother's hands in hers. "Do you ... do you, on your faith, promise that you will in the future will be faithful to Us, Nunnally, by the Grace of God of the Britannians Empress, of Great Britain, France and Ireland Queen?"
"That I do solemnly promise, Your Majesty."
"Do you, on your sword, pledge that you will never case Us anguish again?"
"That I pledge, Your Majesty."
"Do you, on your ... on our mother's ashes, vow to observe your homage to Us completely against all persons, be they foes or friends of Ours, in good faith, honour and without deceit?"
"All that I do vow, Your Majesty. Henceforth, I shall be Your Imperial and Royal Majesty's most loyal and most humble servant. I shall be where Your Majesty is, I shall fight whomever Your Majesty wants me to fight. I shall be with Your Majesty's host in times of plenty and in times of trouble."
Then finally Lelouch looked up, and "The Emperor" had vanished from his eyes. There was no more arrogance, no more sadism, all had been consumed by the blazing fire in his eyes as he stared directly into her eyes.
"I shall be in Your Majesty's hands."
Nunnally smiled weakly. "Then We command thee, brother of Ours, to rise as Our vassal, retainer and pair."
Finally Lelouch did as commanded, and for a short moment, the tenderness she had so long missed, the tenderness she had never seen for seven years, returned to his eyes, and it was glorious, full of the splendour of jollyness, and painted unto his angelic face in colours brighter than even those of her dearest dreams.
Yet then it vanished, replaced by cold flames of blind adoration. "I await your orders, ma'am."
It hurt, she had to admit that much -- of course, the wounds *she* had stroken into his heart would probably take far longer than those she had had to suffer. Still, those cold words, that cool professionalism that had replaced the gentle, tender love she had missed so much --
"End this battle!," she commanded, trying to erase all weakness from her voice as from her very soul. "And seize Schneizel, for he has committed crimes against Our imperial person."
Lelouch bowed elegantly, his hand resting on his sword. "I shall, my gracious lady." And without another word he turned, striding to the exit. His steps were powerful and efficient, each carrying him away -- Nunnally stretched out her hands in a futile attempt to grasp his robes. She tried to speak, but not a word came out.
Sensing her worries, Lelouch turned towards her again, standing by the door. He gave her a tender smile, and immediately all was forgot. "Do not worry. I shall be back ... this time." Then he clacked his heels together. "All hail!," he said. "Long live the Empress!"

I do agree that Minus One joke is ridiculous ; simply did it because i found it ridiculously childish when Suzaku said to the knight of one "I'm above you : I am the Knight of Zero" or something like that.

About the Empress(es), firstly I don't like Nunnally. Secondly, nominating Lelouch and Nunnally would make Kallen jealous, and nominating only Nunnally would be coming back to the original end which is not the purpose here. Simply chose the situation where everybody's happy and getting many children. Uh ...

Nice text, even though imagining Lelouch taking orders from anyone is quite hard, especially with such obedience. He looks like he got Geassed.

And, well, sorry for the so late reply ^^
