Gah, I kept skipping points. Re Ashford : It's true that Lelouch and Nanaly has no use as a bargaining chip at this moment, but if the Emperor used Ashford as an once-over pawn and summarily 'demoted' him after what's done is done, he doesn't necessarily have to follow the Emperor's orders. Alas, the only thing I can come up with is how he's possibly cultivating a debt of sorts with the two royals in the case of when/if they return home/become something.
