Author's Note: Mmk, so vocab words piss me off to the extreme. So to better my understanding, I'm gonna make lovely little Code Geass one-shots from them! xD Except they're extremely short one-shots but not short enough to be drabbles. Sigh, whatever. I'm gonna try to update this frequently. :D Promise. If I get a positive reaction (from more than one person... please?! Dx) then I'll continue it. If I don't have one review/favorite by the time I've done five of these, I'm discontinuing it. Let that be a warning to those who read and leave! -evil laughter- YEAH BOI. xD

Disclaimer: If I owned Code Geass: Euphie, Shirley, & Lulu wouldn't have died, Nunnally would be able to walk, Suzaku would alternate being with Euphie or Lulu or Nunnally depending on my mood, Nunnally would have heard the truth from her brother, Nina would be outta here, Britannians would be such jerks, Mao wouldn't have gone crazy and he and CC would be in LOOOOVE, Lulu's parents would be the bombdotcom, Gino would be with this awesome OC that I'm creating, Kallen... well I'd like her better if I owned her, the Black Knights wouldn't have betrayed Lulu, Rolo wouldn't have been such a DOUCHE, I would buy Pizza Hut everyday, I'd be rich, Cornelia and Guilford would be all up on each other by now, Ohgi (Ougi?) and Villeta would have been married during the series, Suzaku would be supreme ruler of everything because I love him xD, Milly would be with Rivalz or Lloyd, and if Lloyd wasn't with Milly he'd be with Cecile (I can't make up my mind with these four Dx), Tianzi & Xingke would be married all cutesy and whatnot when she's older, Kaguya would find some awesome possum guy to replace Lulu, Brooke Davis would be dressing everyone in Clothes Over Bros (LONG LIVE ONE TREE HILL! xD), and my bologna would have a first name and it'd be SU-ZA-KU! ...point is, Code Geass, and for this disclaimer One Tree Hill is included, does not belong to me.

Euphemia li Britannia was well aware of the fact that she was being selfish.

She watched with furious eyes as nobles cast disdainful looks at Kururugi Suzaku as he walked toward her. He kept his head forward, seemingly ignoring the glares sent to him. But she could see the relief in his eyes as he was finally at his princess' side, though she was sure he had tried hiding that as well.

Even after he had officially became her knight, the icy silence continued if not grew more hostile. She clenched her fists though she tried remaining as expressionless as Suzaku. She could feel the doubt radiating off of him in waves and longed to hold his hand, to smile at him comfortingly and let him know her choice was right.

She had known that he would be forced to endure this, yet she had chosen him anyways. Outwardly she insisted that he was the best protection possible for her, and though that was true it wasn't the reasons he had picked him.

Her heart was greedy, extremely so. She yearned for the love words had constructed before her, love she had only found in the fairytales Cornelia had insisted she was much too old for. She wasn't sure when it had began, but now she knew. Being around Suzaku, talking to him, laughing with him, even simply saying his name was enough to fulfill the unreasonable desire.

That was why she had picked Kururugi Suzaku as her knight. That reason and only that reason above all else; and though she knew she was being greedy, she couldn't help herself.

She wished she could be a fairytale princess, wished she could have the generous heart of one so she could let him go. If she did, he could have a free and happy life. The glares, though she knew would still be there, would not be nearly as harsh. He could live a full life, one without death waiting around the corner. But that wasn't who she was, and wishing without action resulted in nothing.

And so she obeyed her voracious heart, leading Suzaku through a trail of bloodied despair and incessant hatred, hoping to protect her indulgent knight with her inconsiderate love.
