Did you notice how the three-pronged Geasslike symbol shown (more clearly) in the semi-second OP looks like a simplified version of the Britannian fleur-de-lis thing? And there's how he was talking about Clovis.
Well, I was thinking about it more due to his "Strange dreams will only land you in trouble" comment to Rivalz in episode 1. There was pretty much no reason for him to lie then, he could have another fib that's more realistic ("Yeah, that's why the stuff they teach in school's not that important", "No, why would I want to do something so boring?") so at least it has to be somewhat indicative of his degree of powerlessness. It sounds fatalistic and somewhat resigned...and he seemed to think that his days of freedom are numbered to the point Ashfords decide to stop hiding him. It makes me wonder if Lelouch actually had confidence in his plans at all, if he did have anything practical in his head by then.
