 Jeremiah is further disgraced after failing to get Suzaku Kururugi to his trial when Lelouch, as Zero, uses his Geass to compel Jeremiah to help them escape.Lelouch hides his Geass by pretending to blackmail Jeremiah using his connection to “orange,” a conspiracy that does not actually exist.Rumors of Jeremiah’s connections to “orange” lead to his demotion and even an attempted assassination by his own men (only to be saved by Suzaku and Euphemia), and eventually causing him to believe that killing Zero will restore his honor.
