Prologue-Turn Back the Pendulum
Long ago, there was a prince, who served a beautiful princess. He lived only to serve her, and if needed, he would gladly give his life to protect hers. One day, a group of soldiers came to
the kingdom. Though the citizens fought bravely, but the soldiers were too powerful. No one was spared, not even the children and the princess were kidnapped. With no one to help him, the prince fell into despair. It seemed that all hope was lost.
Shortly after, a stranger arrived, and offered his help. In return, he only asked that the prince return the favor. Quickly agreeing, the two set off. When they arrived, they found her healthy and calm, but to bring her back home, a blood sacrifice had to be offered. The prince drew his sword, ready to say goodbye, but with a smile, the stranger killed himself instead. "But why?" the prince asked, close to tears. "Xingke, you love her, don't you?" he asked. "Yes." His eyes fluttered closed. "Then....it is worth it." And so the princess was saved. The stranger's job was done. Or was it?
A/N: Hello everyone. So this is my first fanfic. I was surfing through Adult Swim's message boards when I found a thread asking, "If Code Geass were a fairy tale, what would the characters be like?" This story is the result of that thread. Tell me what you think of it, ok? ^^
