Author's Note: Tah-dah! Hello everyone, this is my very first fanfiction! Code Geass left a really great impression to me and I just can't forget my original fandom at all. ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

Anyways, I don't know if I should continue this story or not... its my first time after all, and I'm not that sure... so it depends on you dear readers! What do you think about the first chapter? Should I continue or not?

Chapter 01

Lelouch

"I said I don't care." I announced for what I'm sure was the seventh time. I could feel the veins in my forehead bulging, though not noticeably, out of pure frustration and slight anger. "Do whatever you want."

Milly sighed, brushing her blond hair out of her face before placing a hand on her hip. That was her way of defiance. "Okay, I'll say it again then. This banquet will have many eligible bachelors looking to court not only your twin sister Lucia, but Nunnally and Euphemia as well. There will also be Kings looking at your brothers for their daughters. You need to narrow down the specific Kings and suitors you want attending this."

"If I do, will you leave me alone?" I sighed, leaning back in my chair. For Heaven's sake, we'd been arguing about this all week and for about an hour and a half today, seeing as she'd found me while I was eating dinner and wouldn't leave until we had this settled. It was getting to be annoying. SHE was getting to be annoying.

"Cross my heart!" she said, making the motion across her left breast with a sarcastic look on her features. "Now, the Kings?"

"I want Gino there," I began, remembering him from the Chinese Federation's New Year's Celebration. "And Suzaku." Never forget to mention the Japanese Emperor's name, or else Lucia would gladly kill me.

"Mkay," she muttered, now focused on the clipboard she was jotting this stuff down on. "Go on."

CLANG!

The servant that'd been standing by tripped, everything on his platter spilling while the glass all shattered. "I-I'm s-sorry..." he stuttered, trying to pick himself up.

"Milly, who is that?" I growled.

"Venkal Arnack." she answered. "He just recently joined us... He's somewhat on the clumsy side."

"I can't have him breaking every dish in the castle." I snapped, watching him with eyes like chips of cold amethyst. "Execution."

"No, no please!" the man shouted, dropping the platter he'd been holding. The glass shattered even more so. This time though, the shards reached me. The tiny pieces of glass sliced little cuts over my ankles and a few on my hands. I let out something along the lines of a snarl, disgusted.

"Get him out of my sight!" I commanded. The guard looked at me with wide eyes, seeming frozen in place. "Now, or you'll join him!" That woke him up. He blinked three times, as if waking up in a trance, before he hastily made his way towards the servant to escort him out.

"That was a little uncalled for." Milly sighed, shaking her head. I opened my mouth to say something to her, but she put a hand up to silence me, palm outwards. "Just give me the names of the Kings."

"Bismarck." The man was arrogant, but he had amazing credibility and not inviting him would be bad for the Country's relationships. "And Luciano."

"Really?" the woman asked, pausing for a second to look up at me. "Luciano?"

"Might as well. Li Xingke and my cousin Rolo. And that's all. Other than that, invite the usual and we're all clear."

"Alrighty." she said in a sing-song voice, forgetting the title most people were terrified to. Though I narrowed my eyes, I said nothing. Milly was a dear friend, after all and she'd gotten it in her head that she didn't have to use my title. I only let it slip because she did such a good job with her work.

"Oh, Milly. While you're here I want to know if-"

"Already handled it." she said, eyes scanning the clipboard instead of looking at me. "The new advisor starts tomorrow."

"You're an Angel." I smirked, laying my chin against a closed fist.

"And you're the Devil. Anything else?" she said, finally looking up at me.

"Not at the moment. I'll let you know if something comes up. Have a nice night."

There was a huge amount of relief when I laid down. The mattress seemed to swallow me whole; I was sinking into it. This was usually the last way I relaxed, something simple as just taking a deep breath. However, it seemed my usual way just wasn't going to work out tonight. Kallen was on watch tonight and Shirley was... Actually, I hadn't checked on her tonight. How funny I'd let something like that slip past me. Sitting up, I reached to the speaker right above my nightstand and pressed the talk button.

"Uhm... Yes?" I heard the timid voice come in on the other line. She was always so shy around me, scared almost. She had every right to be.

"I want you in my room. Now." I answered, making sure the order was heard in my voice. She had the tendency to lollygag and play around when I didn't give her a direct command.

"Right away, sire." she answered. I laid back, counting seconds as they ticked by slowly. One minutes and 42 seconds it took her to get there. She opened the door slowly, poking her head in as if to make sure I was in here and that she could come in. When she laid eye on me and I nodded, she completely let herself in, shutting the door quietly behind her. We'd done this before, so she knew what to do.

"Come on." I said, gently. She hesitated for a moment before sliding onto the bed. I set up and grabbed her hips, setting her down on me. She shifted ever so slightly as my fingers untied the back of her dress and slid the zipper down a moment before I slid her dress off. Our lips met, and I started letting the stress of the day slip away.
