Chapter 1

"How is he?" Asked a concerned Cornelia holding a distraught Euphemia and Nunnaly.

The doctor sighed as he stared at the siblings that huddled together he rubbed his hands, "Well we managed to remove all the bullets and shrapnel from his body." Here they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Here the doctor continued on to say, "However there will be scaring specifically on the left shoulder , but we managed to to do the best we can to repair it so of his shoulder is minimal scaring. His left leg and part of his stomache received the the worst of it, he will eventually regain full control of his left leg again. But they will never completely recover or grow as strong as they could be so he shouldn't put too much strain on his body." Explained the doctor.

Cornelia nodded her head in understanding and asked when they could see to which he told them in a few hours. They were allowed to see him within a few hours Nunnaly and Euphemia looked on in worry to afraid to touch him in fear that he would break. "Brother pleaser get well soon I miss you." Said Nunnaly softly gazing at his broken form.

Euphemia was crying silently staring at his still form clutching at Cornelia's cape while said woman stared at the boy with soft eyes which turned steely after a few moments. "I swear Lelouch I will protect you, Nunnaly and Euphie no matter what." She swore to herself eyes wet with grief after losing the her hero and watching her son in this bed healing.

1 and a half months later

Lelouch vi Britannia strode purposely down the red carpet and to the man he called father the most powerful man in all of Britannia. He had ignored Cornelia, Clovis and his other siblings arguing with him to rethink his plan as it could possibly anger the emperor, however he gave it no heed. Believing his father would acquiesce to his request or he would threaten to give up his claim to the throne. "Announcing prince Lelouch vi Britannia 17th in line for the throne." Said a man announcing his arrival.

He walked slowly with a cane towards the emperor sitting on his throne bowing to the man called his father and rose when he was given permission. He looked at the man whose emperor encompassed one third of the world he was clearly getting on in the years with white hair and in his sixties. He was still a powerful figure with a fit body and his strong features still present and his stare set his nerves on end. Despite what his siblings said to him he was determined to see this through, "Your majesty! My mother is dead the third Empress consort your wife." He said clearly staring the emperor dead in his eyes.

The Emperor reclined on his throne and looked down on him, "So why have you come to me then?" He asked.

Lelouch balked and shouted, "She was your wife an Empress and she was killed in our home, what have you to say for this." He all but shouted.

The Emperor said nothing, he just sat and stared down at the emotional prince staring angrily at him. Lelouch just looked up at his father and glared he looked down and clenched his fist, "Well if this is what it means to be royalty then I don't want to be your heir! I give up my claim to the throne." He said causing many people to gasp at his declaration.

The Emperor stared down at him, "You are dead." He simply uttered, that caused the prince to gasp.

"You were always dead to me, since the day you were born. Who gave you the clothes you wear, the food you eat and your comfortable home, you are nothing to me. Worthless!" He bellowed rising to his feet, causing Lelouch to loose his composure.

"Since you are dead you have no rights or privileges, so you along with your sister Nunnaly. Will be sent to japan, hopefully you will prove some use there." He said glaring down at his son.

He then sat back down and said, "Power is everything, humans aren't born equal." With that said he dismissed the now banished prince to prepare.

He limped out the castle along with Jeremiah when it started to rain, "Your Highness please get under the Umbrella and out of the rain or else you will get a cold." Said the worried knight of the prince. The boy on the other hand just looked up at the sky allowing the drops of water to run down his face soaking his clothes. Jeremiah looked on in sympathy, seeing his prince so helpless was heart breaking. Lelouch turned to his faithful knight, "Jeremiah even though you could have left with the others you decided to stay and for that I thank you. Power, Might equals right. Is that what you were trying to say father, if that is so I'm goin to change this if that is last thing I ever do." He said to Jeremiah, who was awed at what the prince had said.

He turned to the knight, "Let's go home Nunnaly and I have to retrieve our things as our flight leaves later today." He said.

"Your highness please allow me to accompany you." He said bowing to the prince.

Here Lelouch turned to him and shook his head his face blank as to show no emotion, "No Jeremiah I need you here." He said stopping.

He got into the car the door held open by the knight once they were comfortably seated and the car was moving did he continue.

He turned to Jeremiah and reclined and folded his leg over the other, "I need you to start building my support here while I'm away until I return which I will return. You see my father always has a reason for everything he does, so sending Nunnaly and I to Japan as essentially political hostages. Is most likely a ploy to lower Japan's defense enough for an invasion. Most likely he wants to use this as a test ground for our new weapons." Said a calm Lelouch which to Jeremiah looked the epitome of calm and collected true royalty.

"Weapons your Highness?" He asked.

The prince smiled and expanded on his previous statement, "Yes the Knightmare frames they are starting Mass production on a the knightmare frame code name Glasgow. If what I heard is true it will revolutionize modern warfare and put Britannia at the top." He said smirking.

"How do you know so much your Highness that kind of information would be sensitive and classified." He asked impressed at how much the prince knew.

Lelouch however smirked, "I listen in on my mothers conversation with officers, the Ashfords and other important people, also I'm pretty handy with computers and its not that hard to hack into my mothers computer." He said his once proud visage turned to one of pain as he thought of his mother.

Jeremiah stared at him with sympathy, "Very well my prince I will stay and gain some allies, 'til you return." He said gaining a smile from his prince.

Lelouch smiled at that, "Thank you Jeremiah you are so dedicated, although I would like you to keep an eye on Euphie as well if possible. Could you do that for me Jeremiah?" He asked.

Her he nodded his head, "Of course my prince until you return." He said and with that the rest of the ride was in silence.

Later that day

"Lulu please don't go, I want you and Nunna to stay. Please don't leave me!" Cried a hysteric Euphemia li Britannia who was held by her sister Cornelia.

She also looked at him with sorrow at the loss of her idol and now two of her half-siblings, "Please be careful Lelouch your still not fully healed and watch over Nunnaly okay." She said smiling sadly down at him and pulled all the other two into the hug.

He smiled into her chest and nodded his head trying desperately to hold his tears in, "I will I promise." He said.

"I promise that I will protect brother too." Said a crying Nunnaly.

With that said they said their final goodbyes to them and also Schneizel, Guinevere, Odysiuss and Clovis who stopped by to say goodbye. With that they boarded a plane who's stop was Japan.
