A/N: This is my first Code Geass fanfic, so if anyone has the brilliant idea to flame it, think twice. If you still want to flame it, think three times. For those who will hopefully leave a decent review, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass, to my understanding Ichirō Ōkouchi does.

The entire world seems to come to a stop when I am told the news.
Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia, my youngest brother and sister, are dead. A month after they left for Japan, now known as Area 11, they were reported to have been killed. At least, that is the message that has just been delivered.
Everything is silent, at least until Euphemia li Britannia, another younger sister, gives a loud sob before running away. Cornelia li Britannia, yet another sister, follows her.
Clovis la Britannia, my younger brother before Lelouch, says nothing, but he does not have to. I know that he is silently grieving as I am.
...
A few days go by and the four of us: Cornelia, Clovis, Euphemia, and myself, all have tried and failed to hide the sadness we feel for the loss of our brother and sister.
I barely say a word to anyone. I am barely able to even focus on my work. I am Schneizel el Britannia, second prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, and here I am, unable to concentrate on anything, except that I have failed.
And I have. Lelouch and Nunnally were my half-siblings in actuality, but I thought of them as nothing less than my siblings. I was the one who taught Lelouch how to play chess. He was always very intelligent for his age. Of course, I always beat him whenever we played, but there were a few times he came close to winning. Those memories are merely painful reminders of what had once been but can never be again.
I say nothing. What is there to say? I know and my siblings all know our father, Emperor Charles zi Britannia, knew Lelouch and Nunnally were there. But he obviously did not care that two of his children, the children of his favorite wife no less, were there.
It is this reason I hate ambition. When one has ambition, chances are they will go to any lengths to achieve their goals set by that ambition, all the while not caring who they hurt or what effect their agenda can have, as long as they and they alone can have what they want.
While I must put on the front of being obedient to my father, as he is the ruler of Britannia, I will never forgive him for this, for what his ambition has done.

I hope everyone enjoyed this first chapter. And the next one will be out Wednesday, July 15th.
