"Euphie stop!" Zero shouted, watching anxiously the 'Massacre Princess'. What was happening? What was this place? And why he felt he had already experienced this before? Lelouch Lamperouge awoke agitated, sitting on his bed trying to catch his breath. It was not the first time he had such strange dreams, but the first that involved the royal family. Euphemia Li Britannia, the princess had died in an accident and one year ago, what seemed strange was that he, a simple student, have named her a particular way as if they had been very close or something like that. It was impossible for someone as ordinary as he to know someone of the royal family and especially that something as horrible as the dream had happened.

The chess master decided to ignore the dream, because that was it ... a dream, things that never happened in reality. It was almost six in the morning so there was no point going back to sleep. After half an hour he was ready with suitcase in hand and headed to the dining room where his younger brother was waiting for breakfast. That young man was his only company so Lelouch was always very protective of him.

"Good morning, big brother!" The younger sibling greeted him with a smile while serving juice for both.

"Good morning, Rolo." He said patting his back. "I see that you asked for help to cook breakfast." He said as he sat down.

That comment caused Rolo to blush slightly. "It was idea of the council president; she said that I could ask for help whenever I want."

The student council president, close to graduating, was one of the retailer and kindest person he knows. Starting with the simple fact that her family let them live in one of their mansions near the Ashford Academy, where he attends with his brother. From what he remembers, the day they arrived at Area 11, then still Japan, his parents were killed when they were taken as Japanese by the British military. Rolo and he had finished with the same fate if it not had been for the fact that a Japanese family protected them, the Kururugis. While they were there only for a few weeks, the three children became friends, especially him and Suzaku, the only son of that family, Rolo estimated the boy with the green eyes, but for him it was very difficult to socialize. After his short stay with them, the Ashfords, who were close friends of his parents, sheltered and raised them as if they were their own children. Now years later, Lelouch and his younger brother were assigned in one of the mansions near the academy so that they could live there without problems. Since then they met Suzaku Kururugi and Milly Ashford, with the female he still maintains contact, even if she is a year older; however, Suzaku ... that's different, no one has seen him for about seven years since the invasion of Japan.

"What are you thinking about, big brother?" Rolo asked curiously. "Are you worried about something?"

"Not at all." He responded and took a sip of the freshly made juice. "Just thinking about the time we met the student council president and Suzaku. Has been a while since we saw him..."

His brother glanced at him carefully, as if he was examining him. What came to remind the Japanese? Although now it was someone well known and admired as Knight of Seven it did not change the fact that his brother's supposed friend had given his 'brother' to the emperor. Of course, he did not remember anything of what happened, at least that's what the records showed when Rolo was assigned as Lelouch's new and unique family.

The research not only stayed with Zero, the assassin took the trouble to look up information about the honorary britannian, who felt some kind of attraction towards Princess Euphemia and later became involved with Lelouch, but he denied everything. Rolo knows that the information does not lie.

However, if it was not for the capture and erase the memory of Zero ... he would not have someone to call 'family'.

That locket that he brings with himself everywhere was a gift for his alleged 'birthday', October 25; Rolo treasured it along with other things that his brother gave to him. "Brother, we better leave for school. We'll be late. "

"We live less than a mile from the academy, but if you say so. I'd better hurry up. "Lelouch chuckled handed him a napkin for the crumbs that rested on his cheeks. "Do not forget to brush your teeth." And got up to go to the bathroom, leaving the minor again blushing desperately wiping his face.

Once ready, they thanked the housekeeper and walked towards the study center. Just a few meters away from the main entrance they could see people waiting outside, some confused and others excited as if someone important was coming.

"Lelouch! Rolo! "A familiar voice was heard running towards them.

"President, good morning." Rolo greeted warmly, nodding slightly.

"Ay Rolo, I've told you to leave the formalities." Answered the blonde. "Although I must admit that sounds great. Anyway, do you have any idea what's going on? "

"We just got here, I thought you might know." This time the amnesiac spoke, looking over the sea of people who didn't pay attention to the efforts the teachers made on escorting them to classes.

"We believe it is someone very important, as the Governor or something like that!" Rivalz appeared from nowhere causing a short hop by Rolo.

"That would explain the soldiers." Shirley spoke with a shy smile directed towards Lelouch.

"Well, well. It's enough." Milly snapped her fingers. "We better go to our classes; we do not want coach Viletta chasing us like Lelouch." She pointed with a grin and grabbed Rolo sleeves. "I will take the child to his classes as the good president I am." She said, taking him with no time to say goodbye.

"The same goes for us." Said the swimming club's member patting both boys back. Without imagining who might have attracted much attention; however, that person was no longer in the midst of the disturbance, a familiar face for the protagonist was talking with the principal about the class he was going to be assigned.
