"We're here live at the fourth annual Emperor's Ball where the business mogul, Charles Vi Brittania, will be giving a speech to prominent heads in industry and government. They have gathered for an extravagant night of feasting and entertainment, but this is not all about fun. All proceeds made by the dinner will go the Cid and Edea Foundation which run orphanages all across the world. A live performance given by idol Yoko Okino will start off this evening along with..."
Just like father to go pull all the stops to please the public. Lelouche Lamparouge thought while watching the red carpet procession from his dorm monitor. What a hypocrite leaving Nunnaly and I to fend for ourselves all this time just because our mother came from a different class than him. Mother also had some familial ties with prominent gang leaders, which is probably why father even considered her as a potential wife. He then took over the territories of the gangs to set up his enterprise while subjugating all those in his way. By that time, the gangs had reformed and weren't very violent. When they wanted to set up businesses in the territories they had owned, father's men would run them out of shop. What were left of the gangs had moved to other areas but did not fare well there.
Even though we weren't from his current wife, our father gave us the option of living with them under the pretense of being adopted. I wouldn't live with him for any reason especially since it was probably his fault mother had died. The mistress, his current wife, looked down on mother and the day that she died her guards were conspicuously away. Nunnaly was found clutching mother and never opened her eyes or walked from then. Most likely due to the guilt, father gives us monthly living allowance and pays for our schooling, where we have taken up an alias for our last name.
I'll make a world that's free for Nunnaly.
It will be a daunting task since his conglomerate works across the globe and at every level of the economy. But using the power that runs in my father's bloodline, the Emperor's Eye that gives me the power to command a person to follow my orders once, I'll take my father down. I don't care too much for the gangs that have family ties to me, but I'll use them to get back at father.
"Breaking news! A masked intruder has taken President Makito Shinra hostage!" The camera pans to the stage. A man wearing a devilish, yet stylistic red and black helmet stands with Shinra Kiyomid over his shoulder is who yelling for help. Shinra is quickly silenced with a gun shot to the leg.
"...Our country is in a massive deficit: nearly 200 trillion yen, and it's because of politicians being bought out by people like Chairman Vi Brittania and President Shinra here. Shinra is known to have been a quite outspoken congressman in his day for the"Bridge to Nothing." Hundreds of thousands of yen were spend on it where it lead to a pretty much unpopulated island easily reachable by ferry when needed. But who benefited from it in the end, the one oil refinery that realized that there was a larger than expected oil field in that very lake. That company was a branch of the Shinra Electic Company."
This guy...
"We are Akumetsu, destroyers of the evils in our society. How do we justify this you ask? We pay the ultimate price: our lives." The mask of Akumetsu explodes and the screen goes fuzzy.
