Hey! I was rewatching a few Code Geass episodes and I came across this one. It was because of that moment in her eyes right after she turns around to talk to Suzaku. It looked like she almost regretted revealing herself just because of this response. And behold! Something I wrote in 5 minutes at 2:29 in the morning and posted 5 minutes later!
Hope you like!
I lied to him for a reason. For everyone it was the same. There was never any real connection between us, the other was always too scared to approach. This time, with this one person I wanted it to be different.
I had heard of Suzaku before, and not for a second did I believe that he killed my brother. He was a loyal member of the army, and had risen against all the discrimination against his birthright.
When he first joined the army, that's what all the talk in the palace was on. Whenever I talked to my mother or brother, they would mention him. The 11 in the Royal Army. He'd never survive. But he did. From then on I kept an eye on him, asked questions and gathered information. He was loyal as anyone else. If anything, I admired him.
When I saw him below me on the balcony, I didn't doubt for a second he would catch me. That is why I decided to jump.
I didn't give him my full name, so he believed I was an average citizen who watched the news. I didn't tell him directly, I just led him to that belief. And the time we spent together really let me enjoy the company of another human being. For that I owed him. So I didn't hesitate any further.
"Everyone! Lower your weapons at once!" I ordered as I made my way to the center of the battle field. Here I go, there is no going back from here. "In my name, I command you. I am Euphemia Lubritamia of the Empire. And the third princess of the royal family. I am assuming command here. Now fall back!" I commanded.
Of coarse, everyone knelt in their giant robots to my feet. "We're truly sorry, princess!" One of the Royal Guard spoke from their bot.
Behind me I heard machinery. This is where I learn the truth. This is the part I dread.
"My Lady!" Already he has disappointed me. "I had no idea who you were, please forgive me princess." The relationship between us had become a military one. There would be no more walks around the city. And there would be no more mindless talks about nothing in particular. No more fun.
But I should have guessed. The moment I reveal myself as princess, I am no longer a girl, or a friend. I am a princess. An object to be feared. Because if you upset me I could have you tortured. But that is my life. Because of my birthright I am no longer a human. It pained me that the same rules applied to Suzaku. But then again, I should have guessed.
