Disclaimer:I don't own the CG: Le Louch of the Rebellion! Definitely not mine!
Author's note: I don't really feel like writing but the pairing just had to have a ship and passengers of its own! Aye! Aye! Captain. Seriously why is there no Guilford on the Character list. Anyway this is a GxC or much like CxG whatever but they are the two main characters in the fic! At first I was thinking of keeping it all to myself but I just can't. There is also the minor paring of GxK or KxG. Read and Review.
"Guilford" The large voice of Charles di Brittania filled the thrown room and sent chills down every court members' spine except for one, the man named Guilford kept firm on his position and took in his name without a shiver. It wasn't because he was not afraid but the opportunnity this frightening voice presented was worth more than his fears, it was the chance to serve Brittania, to serve Princess Cornellia.
-------
Last night a messenger came to his quarters and handed him a telegram from the Emperor of Brittania himself. It was an assignment which was now being made public. Guilford was tasked to escort the soon-to-be-husband of Princess Cornellia to Brittania. Princess Cornellia was to be married to nobility to strenghten the unity within Brittania.
It was to prevent nobles who have no direct ties or descendency from the royal family to adhere to the current family instead of creating their own factions to topple the current royal family. The Emperor believed that by marrying off her sons and daughters to those various families will secure his hold on the thrown. Cornellia, as the emperor has mentioned in his telegram was chosen due to her dominating aura, an aura of a warrior who will not give in easily to a man and therefore making her the perfect candidate to lead his plan in subduing all other nobles. Though Guilford was still in doubt of the plan he firmly understood one thing, this plan will make Cornellia another pillar of the Empire and soon she may become the Empress of Brittania. With this thought Guilford just had to be part of the plan.
--------
All thoughts in Guilford's head vanished as the Emperor stood up and went closer to him, Cornellia's knight. Guilford focused once again on his target, his goal: to see Princess Cornellia rule all of Brittania. He then replied to the wishes of his majesty, "Yes, my Lord!" The ceremony was finally over and Guilford left the thrown room to begin his mission.
He went back to his quarters to prepare his belongings and on the way there made a stop over at the laboratory where his Knightmare was kept when it wasn't facing battle. He shouted to have it prepared for he would be leaving as soon as possible, as he went out the Earl and Scientist Lloyd waved his hand over at Guilford, "I hear you were going on a match-making session, Cupid-san" the earl started to twirl around as he headed for his own Lab where he repaired the Lancelot, a knightmare the earl personally attends to. Cecile quickly dashed in and shot an awful glare at Lloyd and stared back to Guilford with an angelic face, "Excuse him, Guilford-sama. He didn't mean it as insult, " he nodded his head and as soon as Cecile saw the forgiving look on Guilford's face dashed of to catch up on Lloyd and scold him once again for his rude manner.
Guilford sighed and mentally made a note, 'The man who must marry the Princess Cornellia must not need baby-sitting.' He then reached his room and started to pack his few belongings in a small trunk, he was not planning a long trip after all. He wanted to be done with this business as soon as he can, he didn't want to leave the Princess for a very long time. As he finished packing the last of his uniforms he decided to take a quick shower before going back to his Knightmare for last minute preparations.
He took of his glasses and clothes and went into the shower room, the warm water washed his perfect body and his long hair was elegantly framed on his face, he finished and was about to get dressed when he heard somebody knock on the door. He decided to just to answer the door without bothering that his lower body was just wrapped in a white towel. He threw another towel over his head and turned the knob and outside the door was Princess Cornellia, wide-eyed with shock and her face showing a slight blush.
Guilford couldn't see quite well without his glasses but by the color of the hair he instantly recognized who this vistor was and soon he fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness for how he looked, Cornellia without looking at him told that he should stop kneeling and get dressed immediately. Seeing the situation, Guilford grabbed his glasses from the bedside table, his clothes which were on the bed and made his way to the bathroom.
Princess Cornellia took the liberty to sit on the edge of the bed since there wasn't much of a choice to be made, the room was just furnished with a bed and decided couches and chairs somehow made no use since he was always being somewhere around the world with the battle on going and all he had to do in this room was dress and sleep.
In fact it was the princess's first time seeing Guilford's room;everytime they were in Brittania and she needed to talk with him in private she has always ordered to wait for her at receiving room of her suite. This realization suddenly made her jump off the bed and wait for him standing. Somehow she suddenly didn't like the idea of having to seat in Guilford's bed. Sitting on a bed wasn't alarming or discomforting but sitting on Guilford's bed, that was a different matter all together.
Guilford then went out of the comfort room and stepped in to the room where Princess Cornellia was waiting. He was dressed in a white turtle neck, black pants and a black overcoat buttoned up to his neck, seeing this the princess wasn't feeling comfortable. The look was just to uptight and Guilfords hair was tied back once agian. Guilford then started to speak and break the silence, "I am really sorry, your highness. Please forgive me for the order of my room and myself awhile ago," The princess was trying to forget what she just saw but Guilford brought it up and here she was blushing again, "No need to explain Guilford, I just got impatient with waiting for you in my room, and I thought you might have gone without saying a word, after all my father's mission for you was a high-priority mission."
Guilford couldn't make sense of the idea that the princess was waiting for him if she did order his presence he would have rushed there in no time, no matter where he was except if he didn't receive any order. He didn't receive any order after all, "I asked Lloyd to call for you. I knew you we're going to visit your knightmare before you left." That explained it, who would have thought of him being Cupid-san as an order. "I am sorry your majesty," Cornellia took a deep breath and sighed, "It's really okay Guilford, I just wished I could talk with you before you leave. Do you mind if we just walk towards the laboratories?" "Not at all,"
On the way to the laboratories, Guilford kept silent. Cornellia would often glance behind her to see how Guilford was looking, "Guilford, I am very happy you are doing this, you are doing a great favor for Brittania." "Brittania is a concern of all her knights and also I feel it is my duty to you, your highness as your knight." "Yes Guilford, Thank you Guilford, you must know it is my fathers' plan for me but whatever happens Guilford remeber that it was the Emperor's plan." Then afterwards Cornellia kept silent. Guilford felt he heard disappointment in those words, 'Was she feeling sorry about being wed off? Didi she want me to do something about it' but he decided to shun those thoughts and instead decided that it was her form of encouragement.
When they reached the lab, Cornellia went her way and muttered under her breath, "You must come back to me, that is an order," Guilford was totally oblivious to this situation.
Author's note: It's only the first chapter but we have already since Guilford half-naked. Bwahahaha... I really have to stop my insanity before I jump off a cliff. I was really glad that CG hints on this pairing. Thanks for making Guilford come back, and damn Le Louch---Guilford's blind because of you. T T In this story Guilford won't turn blind, promise.
