Marieanne has always told her what certain flowers meant.
Roses, Lilies, Irises, it hardly mattered to the dark haired empress. She simply loves telling her what they meant. Especially when they had taken strolls in the garden during the springtime.
She silently supposes that she passed downn that knowledge down to her children regardless if they were own or her stepchildren.
She supposes that is the reason why she wasn't surprised by the large bouquet of different colored roses that Marieanne's son, Lelouch gave her.
No doubt for White Day.
Yellows, White, Red, Pink, and even a few yellow roses that were tipped in red, and she can still hear Marieanne's soft voice telling her what each of them met.
The yellow roses symbolizing friendship, and happiness, She supposes that the yellow roses symbolized the earlier parts of their relationship. When they had simply been partners trying to take down to his father. She knows the happiness part symbolizes their relationship now after the Zero Requiem. Happily married.
The white roses symbolizing purity and innocence, and while she is somewhat surprise to see such a rose in the bouquet. Neither of them were hardly innocent, and they had both stained their hands with blood. So she silently presumes that her husband had decided to put those into represent the small period of time when she had reverted back to her "slave self."
Although she can't deny the fact that in some ways that she is somewhat like a child, like her obsession with pizza or even cuddling up to over grown stuff animal at night.
She has always thought that children symbolized purity.
The pink roses were the next one, and she knows that they symbolized a certain amount of joy, admiration and sweetness, and she supposes like the yellow roses it symbolizes the happiness they found after the war.
The yellow roses trimmed in red were the next ones, and she knows that one symbolizes as friends falling in love.
She knows that she had fallen in love with him over the years that they spent together. It wasn't the same love that she has felt for Mao or anyone else that she has encountered in her life.
With Mao despite whatever he may thinks, she loved him like a younger brother, or how a mother would love a child.
With Marieanne she experienced the love that as a friend and perhaps the love among sisters regardless of the fact they weren't related.
Sure she has had a few lovers that came before Lelouch, usually durring her first hundred years of being an immortal.
Before she realized the consquences of loving a mortal. While she did meet another immortal in her everlasting life. She can hardly say that she was in love with the shorter silver haired man.
She smiled lightly as she brought the boquet of roses to her face inhaling the soft freaquence, before moving to kiss her husband softly on the lips.
"You are still taking me pizza hut, dear husband of mine," C.C. says when she finally pulled away from him. Even though she knows that it sounded more like an order. "But before that I'll place these in some water."
-the end
