Code Geass – A New World of My Design

Prologue – Part 1

"A New World and A New Day"

I was always a fan of Code Geass, sure I had issues with the show but all in all it was quite the story, I watched the spin-off Akito the Exiled and it was actually better than the original, sure it too has its pitfalls but all in all not a bad show.

Now I was hearing that a new season 3 for Code Geass was set to release, I had originally thought, 'Why?'

'Didn't the first two seasons cover just about everything, what else could possibly be brought up at this point?' But I was a curious little kitten and; little did I know I was about to be sucked into a world of chaos, betrayal and war… This is my new life in a new world and a new day.

I know what's to come and who will stand in my way, but no matter what I will create…

A New World of My Design!

You know if you asked me if I believed in an afterlife or reincarnation, I told you two things; one was that I had my doubts and on the second topic, that you were insane.

But with my situation as it is now, I know believe in both to the extreme…

Pendragon, Estate of the el Britannia Royal branch

I awoke suddenly in a stupor from what seemed like a nightmare, but as I woke up, I began to see I wasn't at my home anymore.

As I rubbed my eyes, I could see clearly that my room was ornate and quite extravagant for even royal standard.

"W-where am I?" I asked myself. Getting up from the bed I looked around and saw some clothes in the open closet in front of me, I grabbed them and walked out to explore my surroundings.

At the time I thought I was still in some lucid dream, but it was all to real. This manor and everything I could touch was real, this was no dream…

Finally reaching what seemed to be a dining room I looked inside and saw a spread that was for a king and a host.

At the end of the table I saw a rather tall, beautiful blonde woman that seemed to be in her late thirties, early forties who merely smiled at me and asked me to join her and enjoy the food before it got cold.

"Edward, we never thought you would awake, please join us." She asked in a light tone. 'Us?' I thought to myself. I looked at the seat just next to who I believe was my mother, and it was someone I never thought would be in front of me.

Of course, he needed no introduction; a young, but tall man with beautiful blonde hair, with light purple eyes, and a gentle face smiling at the woman beside him as he now turned to me.

I didn't need to be told his name to know who he was. "Schneizel" I thought I said to myself quietly, but it seemed my 'brother' heard me instead.

"It's nice to hear from you little brother, please join us." He said in that cool and calm tone I knew he could use.

Okay, don't panic just play along and I'll figure this out as it goes. All of us continued breakfast and the other two were conversing on what their plans for today were and then Schneizel turned to me, "Brother, do you have any plans?"

For some reason I felt this sort of familiarity and 'familial' bond towards this man who I knew was in truth a sociopath, but I could help the feeling.

I answered, "N-nothing in particular." He looked at me and gave me a small grin. I still couldn't shake that feeling I had, but I felt myself to grinning as well.

After a while I asked to be excused, the looks on their faces told me they were disappointed I didn't stay long, but my 'mother' and 'brother' didn't object, and I went back to my room.

Looking around the room I immediately spotted a bookcase on the wall next to my dresser and grabbed one of the books on the shelf randomly and perused its contents.

I know noticed to both my silent horror and astonishment that none of the events I saw in this book were not in line with what I knew.

The American Revolution failed, Napoleon won at Gibraltar decisively and took the Britain, and what sealed the deal was the year stamped in all these events, 'a.t.b'.

'No, it can't be' I thought to myself as I finally came to a drastic conclusion.

I was in the world of Code Geass and my older brother of all people, was the 2nd prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, and by the name they called me I too was there family.

"Edward el Britannia, oh my god. Just what is this, did something happen to me, I thought that reincarnation was only a Buddha thing, but this is just creepy." I said aloud to myself as I looked in the mirror in front of me.

I had the same corn-colored blonde hair as my family and the same purple eyes as before. If I was a royal, then that meant that I had many siblings and if course… the Emperor Charles zi Britannia

But he was not the only one I knew would come to play, Lelouch, Nunnally, Cornelia, Suzaku and… Euphemia. Oh gods, if this does go that far.

'No! I know even though it seems to early to be so ambitious, but I won't let a world of death became the foundation for peace. Not on my watch.' I thought to myself as my memories of all those key events came about.

I know what I'm up against, but in time I'll do what I must, but for now to buy my time.

As the day ended, I went to sleep knowing that I was I the world of Code Geass, I had a lot of thinking and training to do, but first…

"How old am I?" I asked myself as sleep took me over.

The next day came and I after enjoying the Saturday evening with my siblings, I figured out I was a twelve-year old prince, I had a full schedule ahead of me, with many responsibilities to do attend to.

I was taught almost everything from basic academia to military and political strategy.

I picked up on the curriculum rather quickly, unfortunately where I used to be an expert on history, I was now struggling slightly, since with an alternate timeline comes differences, you get the picture…

I also had meetings with those in the nobility that were allies of our branch of the family with my mother, whose name I learned was Eveline and I recently figured out I'm the 4th prince of the Holy Britannia Empire, 3rd in line to succeed my 'father' for the throne.

We then meet various other noble families that lived in Pendragon, which meant dressing in formal something I rather enjoyed honestly, but I was used to a more suit and tie, fortunately I had a young butler, Devin.

Devin was an expert in making correct measurements so he knew what I could fit into and what length of cape would fit my outfit aptly for any potential outing.

My life surprisingly was rather noble for what I always read about the lives of monarchs of my previous life.

But with all the security, handlers and guards, normalcy outside the royal palace was a rare thing indeed

It took a while, but I soon got used to the royal treatment when I was with my mother and brother during outings. Though by others it seemed more forced and faked then actually sincere.

My mother though was really the sincerest of all, she only ever cared about our wellbeing and she reminded me of my old mother, but I guess now I had to move on from that and accept what I have.

My relationship with Schneizel, however was rather, odd to say the least.

He was always on the go meeting new people, continuing his education, and pursuing new projects.

But, whenever he made time for us, he seemed to genuinely care for his family, which I found strange, because I knew somewhere deep down, he was nothing but a sociopath, but the way he spoke and carried himself I came to believe his charm at times.

But I knew better than that, and would quickly try to forget, but…

Moving on, the 'emperor', my father was all but non-existent in my life. The only times I ever saw his face in public was when he delivered speeches on evolution, social Darwinism and 'hailing Britannia'. It was almost enough to make me gag.

I knew his game, he wanted us to get his attention by proving ourselves, but I won't play his game. I was already a dead man once; I refuse to die again. I would only live for me and my own happiness.

I remember first seeing the outside of our house, well more a mansion than a house, it was a large estate with a quaint picturesque landscape for as far as the eye could see.

I was lying underneath one of the pear trees we kept in the garden, I was looking out to my siblings they were in their little groups.

Some where conversing with my mother since she was hosting the party that we were currently holding that day. If there was one thing, I knew is that if an event could be made to party for it was made.

The palce of said party was at our estate for the advent of spring that had just arrived a day ago, but most of my siblings kept to themselves as now they were all too young for court politics.

Looking around I saw Cornelia, the ever dutiful sister watching over her charges, Lelouch who was currently challenging Schneizel to chess match and from his frustrated look he was losing as expected, and the other was Nunnally who was playing with Euphemia in the flowers, surprisingly in this world Euphemia was actually my age I had thought she was the same age as Lelouch, well there's my answer about changes in the timeline.

Clovis was somewhere painting his portraits and other pieces. Guinevere and Odysseus were conversing with my mother with a young Carine ne Britannia next to my mother, they were discussing court intrigue which I found rather bland at my age.

Odysseus was the same soft-spoken and gentle older brother I remembered him to be, how he even thinks to one day rule Britannia in a world of nothing but bad apples he was not the kind who would be a great ruler for the realm.

Guinevere was a prideful and vain woman, all she ever seemed to want to do at any time was buy clothes and other petty material possessions. Never really cared for all of that, but we were courteous to each other. I had also heard the 'horror' stories of my siblings of how she dressed them up in her designs, lucky me I was never on the receiving end.

Cornelia was a strict but caring older sister. Whenever we were together when Schneizel was gone she showed me the mother sisterly side of her she had deep down, but most of the time she kept up that faced only when off the battlefield. She also expected near perfection out of me most of the time with what I do, but still all the same a loving and caring sister.

Ah, Euphemia, she was every bit I expected her to be. She was the sweetest and most caring person in the world, sometimes I almost felt so sick looking at ger sometimes.

Despite our being the same age, I was almost a sort of the older of us as she was sometimes clueless in somethings. When she and Nunnally would play together she would constantly invite me with them, and I just couldn't say no to her and I feared what Cornelia would do if I said no.

But, in more recent days whenever we were out sometimes, I could see her make sideways glances at me, I would catch her staring for quite a while, I even found myself staring back for what seemed at one-point minutes.

The looks she would give me though were always looks of longing and wanting she would have rosy cheeks during our stares. Whenever we were alone, she would try to get more into my personal space.

For now, at a time, I enjoyed it… 'God damn it, what am I? A Targaryen or a Lannister!?' I yelled to myself at one point. But I couldn't help myself, she was possibly the most beautiful girl I had seen in my life.

Sure, I meet many beautiful girls in my life, but Euphemia was above them all. But that's not important right now.

Finally, out prodigal son and the main character we all know, Lelouch vi Britannia. Everyone's favorite, but to me he's a brat. But I know in the future he will be a threat to my future dream, but for now I must deal with this shrimp always challenging me to chess matches. Of course, I would deny him that opportunity. But he's still a momma's boy with a sister complex I the works from what I could see.

He was declared a genius at a young age and was destined to do great things; boy where they right. Still we got along well and surprisingly I found myself debating over ideas with him the most. Who knew a thirteen-year-old and a six-year old could speak about philosophy and politics, and not be bored of each other!

In this new life, it was exciting to meet these new characters, but I had to ask myself the question…

Why am I here then?

A pear broke me from my thoughts as I saw a girl, one Milly Ashford who had another pear in her hand ready.

Milly and the Ashford's were a family that was an exception among the other noble families that got invited to many events because of their own abilities to throw huge parties themselves.

It was there I meet a mischievous Milly who was running away from unnerved Lelouch who was chasing her.

However, there was one thing I never forgot what to do…

I motioned for Milly to come over and she knew exactly what I was going to do.

Getting up from my position I transitioned over to a nearby piano we sometimes used for entertainers we invited to play at events.

The song, "Rains of Castamere" was an old one from my world, but with this world I think it perfectly fits the theme of it. Milly saw me play this by myself one night when I decided I had enough time at a party that was being held.

I walked over to the piano and as I sat down everyone turned and noticed, so I had an audience this time. Milly joined me and sat next to me; in my old life I didn't like to be the only one playing alone so I had some stage fright.

Milly noticing this held my hand as she squeezed it slightly as we looked at each other and then I began playing and then we began our duet, little did we know that Euphemia was watching our closeness and her brow furrowed at our closeness.

(AN: For this song, bold indicates Edward singing, and italicized indicates Milly, and bold italicized means both are singing.

Rains of Castamere by Milly Ashford and Edward el Britannia (Karliene ver.)

I started playing and as the music began to hit its high point we began singing:

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.

In a coat of gold, or a coat of read, a lion still has its claws.

And mine are long and sharp, my lord as long and sharp as yours

And so, he spoke, and so he spoke that lord of Castamere,

But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear

The rains fall down, yes, the rains fall down on lord of Castamere

Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear

As we came to and finished, we looked at each other until the applause of everyone who was attending gave us a standing ovation for our performance.

I loved the moments like this we had, but I knew in the future they would be few and far between.

Later that night, as I was walking to my room, I saw Euphemia by my doorway waiting for me as she had another look of longing on her face.

We met face-to-face and being to uncomfortable she spoke up something I never thought she'd do, "Edward, will you continue to deny what I feel, I know you fell the same."

I faltered once more, but found some strength to speak up, "Euphie, we can't go on like this, it's just a phase…" I was not able to finish that sentence when I felt Euphemia put a finger to my lips and shushed me at once.

"Tell me, here and now have you never felt anything for me?" She demanded. I looked at her and with both reluctance and a feeling of relief, I nodded yes to her.

Putting her finger off my lips, she came closer, putting her hands and cheek on my chest and finally said to me, "You are the only man who can make me feel whole, I know we share blood, but you are the only one that makes me feel like true princess."

After that the gap between us was closed, our lips joined together and for a few minutes in the dead of night the two siblings had a very intense make-out session in the young prince's room. The night did not devolve into anything below the belt, but the two knew what they had committed.

Little did they know that a like lord in black watched the whole event in front of him and was horrified at what he heard and saw, the only girl he would ever love was with his older brother, for both of them it was one night neither would ever forget.
