Story of Lelouch Vi Britannia
2003, XX - XX
Emperor's Castle
I'm Lelouch Vi Britannia, the son of the 98th Emperor of the holy
Kingdom of Britannia and the 17th successor to the throne. This
is a story of the past when there was no war, conflict or Geass.
This is the story of my childhood.
(7 years into the past)
Hello, my name is Lelouch and today, I am faced with the greatest task of my life.
"Euphie, let me go!"
"I'm sorry Lelouch but I can't do that." I really need you to try out this suit that Cornelia nee-sama for you!"
"If I wear that suit, then my dignity as a prince of Britannia will be tarnished!" "NO! I will never wear it!"
"Awe, Lulu. Please? For me? For Nunnally?" she almost begged while putting on the most pitiful face that I've ever seen her put on.
I don't know how or what kind of methods she used to finally get me to cooperate but by the time I realized what has happened, they'd already put me in the suit.
This was perhaps the most embarrassing… oh wait.., 2nd most embarrassing moment of my life as I know it and it could possibly not get any worse. As fate would have it, it did indeed get much worse.
"Cornelia nee sama, what are you doing in the royal garden? I thought you were with my mother in the shopping district." "Right when I heard that you were put into the suit that I designed, I had to come and
take a look, and I've gotta say; wow Lelouch, it suits you quite well." but as she spoke, I could tell that she was having trouble containing her laughter and slowly but surely, she began to crumble and Cornelia
nee-sama and Euphie burst into a fit of joy.
I was fine to the point where they forced me to put on a suit but this crossed the line…
"That's it! I'm going to my room to change out of this ridiculous suit!" As I was changing, I heard someone knock on my door. "It's me onii-sama, Nunnally" I opened the door to see that it was not only Nunnally
but Cornelia nee-sama as well... "Um sorry Lelouch but, may we come in?" "Um, sure… but please wait in my guest room, I'm still changing."
I changed as soon as I could and found them in the guest room and as I took my seat, Nunnally was the first to speak.
"Um… nee-san… about that suit… I'm sorry to have forced it on you like that but I really needed to see if we needed any final adjustments before the Grand Festival tomorrow." To tell the truth, the reminder took
me by surprise and by the time I recovered, Cornelia nee-sama continued from where Nunnally had left off. "And so, the officials, high-ranking democrats and other astounding members of the world's most
extravagant families will be joining us as well."
When she finished her explanation, I heard a faint voice calling to me…
"I've found you; my Black Knight."
Instinctively, I answered the voice as any other person would answer the call. (ok well maybe not everyone :s)
"Who are you to call upon me? Lelouch Vi Britannia, the 17th successor to the throne and what is this Black Knight of which you speak of?!"
As I expected, the voice did not respond…
I slowly opened my eyes and realized that I must've lost consciousness when Cornelia-sama was explaining to me about the festival. Cornelia nee-sama and Nunnally had already left for their own chambers and
as I finally came to, I was riddled with millions of questions…
What happened to me? Who was the voice who called me? Why did it called me "Black Knight?" What is this ominous feeling?
There was a lot on my mind and I could not sleep but I knew that everything would be answered tomorrow and I also realized that… There is no such thing as never-ending peace.
