Oh, I do think that Kallen figuring out that Lelouch is Zero will eventually make them closer. I'm just protesting the idea that because she hero worships Zero at this point in canon, she'll never be capable of being his "knight" or having an equal relationship with him. On the former matter...well, Guilford seems to admire Cornelia a lot, and I suspect the same is true of Suzaku and Euphemia. Given Kallen's more no-nonsense approach to Lelouch, I expect once she makes the necessary connection, she'll be able to transform her hero worship into a more complex and beneficial admiration similar to that of the other knight/prince(ss) pairs.
Whereas C.C.'s relationship with Lelouch is a whole different beast--complex in its own way, but I can't see her as being his knight. It's more like one is the player of a game who's discovered that their most prized piece is actually a living, breathing being who can offer them more than they expected. The catch is, they both think they're the player and the other is the piece.
