Disclamier: I do not own code geass
What if Lelouch never shot Clovis when he had the chance how would things be different?
"Are you satisfied" A very bored Clovis says while looking at his intruder in the dark.
"I am well done" Says the mysterious man hiding in the shadows.
"So what shall we do now, sing a few lively ballots or perhaps a few games of chess?"
"Now that has a familiar ring to it. Don't you recall; the two of us used to play chess together as boys, although, I would always win."
"What?"
"Remember, at the Aries villa?"
"You; who are you?"
The man hiding in darkness steps forward. "It's been a long time big brother"
"*gasp*"
"The eldest son of the late consort Marianne, and seventeenth in line to the Imperial Throne; Lelouch Vi Britannia at your service." Lelouch bows to Clovis in a sarcastic manner while grinning at him.
"L-L-Lelouch? I thought..."
"That I was dead? You were wrong. I have returned, Your Highness, and I have come back to chance everything."
Lelouch gets up and walks toward Clovis having his gun pointed straight at him. "I-I am overjoyed Lelouch. They said you died when Japan was brought into the fold; what a blessing it is to have you back. We should depart for the homeland immediately."
"So you can use me as a tool of diplomacy? You forget why we were used as tools in the first place." Clovis makes a slight noise as Lelouch continues to speak. "That's right it was because my mother was killed. My mother held the title knight of honour but was a commoner by birth, no doubt the other imperial consorts held her in contempt. Even though you people made it look like the work of terrorists I am no fool, I know you people killed my mother" Lelouch points the gun right in between Clovis's eyes.
"I swear to you it wasn't me, I swear it wasn't!"
"Then tell me everything you know the truth can no longer be hidden from me" Lelouch activates his geass "By whose hand was she slain."
"Ah, My brother second prince Schneizel and second princess Cornelia they can tell you."
"*gasp* they were at the heart of it?" Clovis moves to makes a word but stops and slouches back "That's all you know isn't it" he removes the geass form Clovis.
Clovis blinks and looks at the gun before jumping back into his seat "I swear it wasn't me, I had nothing to do with it!"
"I believe you, however you can't change the world without getting your hands dirty."
"Please stop, we may have different mothers but you and I are still blood!"
"The only blood we have that is the same is the bastard emperor! I guess though you can be of some use to me."
"T-that's great Lelouch anything you want."
"Tell me what do you know of my mother depending how honest you are I might let you live."
"Cornelia and Schneizel they know I swear they know."
"I see, you seem truthful then I will accept your invitation to go to the homeland -If I go to the homeland I will be able to use my geass there to change everything and find my mother's killer-"
"I will contact you within a few days Clovis."
At that moment Jeremiah waltz right in "your highness, you there drop your weapon!"
"Clovis stares at the gun in Jeremiah's hand and then the gun in Lelouch's hand "Jeremiah drop your weapon before you mistake."
"But your highness you have a gun in your face."
"Yes but the person holding it is Lelocuh Vi Britannia."
"L-Lelouch Vi Britannia the son of Marianne Vi Britannia" Jeremiah quickly bows to him putting the weapon on the ground "Oh what luck, what fate, what glory to meet you."
Lelouch turns around stares at him "Fate? Glory? What the hell are you talking about?"
"I served your mother before the assassination and I feel utterly humiliated for letting it happen, it was my first assignment and I failed in my duty to protect her. Disgracing the name of the royal family, disgracing your name, disgracing Britannia, and I disgraced my family. Meeting you though makes me believe that I can regain it all, please Lelouch let me serve you and regain honour."
"Since you served my mother I will allow you to serve me then, I will be in contact with you two in a couple of days I just need to do some things" Lelouch walks out of the G1 escorted my Jeremiah to not arose any suspicion. Once escorted out of the area of the military he calls a cab and gets to school.
He walks into the club house where he and his sister live "Nunnally I am home."
"Welcome home big brother."
"Nunnally can we talk."
"Of course."
"Sayako could you make us some tea?"
A young maid who was standing near Nunnally bows "Of course my lord."
"Thank you"
"So Big brother what did you want to talk about."
"Just a question, if you could go back to Britannia would you?"
"Well, Only if you were there, big brother I don't care where we are as long as we are together."
"Well if we could go back we would be able to see Euphie."
"Oh I miss Euphie but why bring this up so sudden?"
"I well kind of ran into Clovis by accident."
"You mean big brother Clovis?"
"Yes and he figured out who I was so I am going back to the homeland sadly but I refuse to be treated as a bargaining chip."
"Brother you have to take me with you I can't imagine being so far away from you."
"Alright, I will make sure nothing happens to you I swear it."
Nunnally stick out her pinkie "promise?"
"What's this?"
"It's a Japanese promise, Sayako taught me this" Lelouch wraps his pinkie around hers "cross my heart, hope to die, eat a thousand needles if I lie, pinkie promise song."
"That's scary, I might have to eat a thousand needles."
"Hehehe I doubt it I know you will protect me."
Lelouch looks at Sayako "Thank you for all you have done but I guess this might be the end of us."
"I was happy to be of service."
"Thank you" Lelouch walks outside and calls Jeremiah "Jeremiah it's me, Lelouch. Meet me tomorrow at Ashford academy later in the evening and tell Clovis that I accepted to return to the homeland with him."
I do not plan on having Clovis killed he will live because I want him to
And yes if Lelouch didn't kill Clovis when he did and waited too long Jeremiah getting suspicious no one was the G1 and would of run to it
