PROLOGUE

"We are going to run away together and build a huge farm just like this one but bigger and better "She said with her eyes twinkling, but what about mama and daddy?"I said with m eyes full of doubt, you can't love your family forever, especially this one."She said this with almost a hint of anger in her voice, That's not true I am going to stay with them forever, you never make any sense that's why grandpa gave your brother the title of 'Higher Up 'and not you!" I pushed him out of the way and ran towards the house, in those days I really thought that I would never think the way he did but then things changed and I understood his every word perfectly now, his motive behind all that he said.

5 years later

Lelouch was executed by the upper house army general on order of my grandfather, he had been found guilty of plotting against the upper house, and he had the guts to go against the wishes of the Elders. We were all watching as he stood on the stage, eyes blind folded, standing absolutely still with a smirk on his face, his father came towards him with a sword in his hands, "You will be allowed to say a few words, chose them wisely these will be your last", He said this without choking on his words once, without blinking, without a sign of hurt in his face, "This is never how I thought it would end, but I still am grateful. I finally get to leave this place, I am going to taste freedom but by paying a great price, I advice you all not to go by this road, firstly because every single one of you in this room is a coward, a family dog and secondly because none of you will ever be able to truly understand what freedom is, I don't want to thank anyone in my speech, waste of time and breathe and I really do want to leave now."Those were his last words, everyone hated him even more, even his own brother cursed him, his friends turned their backs and walked out shaking their heads at his act of foolishness but the rest stayed, at his was appropriate for every single family member to watch the execution, which is done slowly to show everyone of the result of going against was slowly killed by his father, the words traitor carved deep into his back, his screams echoed through the whole room but he did not once beg for forgiveness, he lay there for what seemed like ages, tears running down his eyes, his whole body drenched of blood ,till he finally died, his body thrown of the stage and stepped on by every family member, as was custom.

This was not the first time this had happened,it had happened once before, to my father, who had gone against the Elders wishes and got what he deserved, I had to work till my body could not take it anymore to show my loyalty to the Elder, I had to restore the position that he had made me almost lose thanks to his foolish act, a position that by birth was always mine.
