He thought Lelouch was dead in the conquest of Japan, not exactly in the terrorist attack on his mom. I thought that means someone knew Lelouch and Nanaly was there. After the occupation at the very least. I've been wondering if they actually has anything to do with why Britannia decides to invade Japan right then. It makes no sense for Britannia to endanger its royalty---though, granted, motherless, 17th at best in line royalty with chess genius as his only redeeming feature---unless it was pure random chance and they went "Oh shit" later. Events happening then were kind of confusing. Like, of all places, why did Lelouch go to Japan? A kid of ten, who sent him? Doesn't look like he lived in Japan before since Clovis invited him to go back 'home', and his name is French to boot.
