I am really not about to post so soon but even if I manage to have three reviews... :( I am somehow like the reaction from the readers. I intently want it to be such touching, imagining the fact that the readers is part of the audience watching Lelouch's video that's why.

BloodkingEclipse: Thank you very much. I'm so happy that you loved it. :D

Saki-Rose Chan: I am also crying when I write REQUIEM. And I'm so happy that someone understands with my ship. :D

LolaSpice: I am so happy that you love the first part. And also, this new chapter is based on your request. I'll be looking after the other request of yours for the next chapter. So, just wait and see.

REQUEST: "Have all the royal children sit down and talk and have oneshots of their reactions while watching the video" from LolaSpice.

REMEMBRANCE

Just after the viewing and the shared thoughts of everyone about realizing Lelouch's true objectives, Nunnally had managed to ease herself and somehow have a peace on her mind. She can assure herself that she can finally sleep soundly, without any trouble that those who know her beloved brother will still be remembered as someone who is human. Since then, despite the rain, the young empress decided to move return back to the viceroy's palace and she afterwards dismissed Zero to be alone. She also knows that Suzaku needs to deal with the revelation of his identity with the Black Knights and as well with the Student Council. Now, she would want the company of her remaining siblings.

Just by her study room in the palace, Cornelia decided to stay close to her. Neither from the two of them say a word at all. They have their own fair share of after thoughts after watching the video, especially Cornelia who had seen the video for the first time. The young empress had ordered for a tea as well for them to share. It doesn't take long that the tea was prepared by Sayoko herself and just after her exit, Schneizel asked through the slightly ajar door, asking for permission to enter.

"Of course, Schneizel onii-sama," answered Nunnally. Her voice somehow still restrained, audible that she had her share of cries.

The prince then entered and moves to take a seat next to the two of his other siblings just by the dining set in one portion of the room. He turned to Nunnally with curious eyes and watched her as he pour some tea onto another cup for his. He then says, "I won't ask if you are alright, after watching…"

Nunnally smiled sadly as she placed the teapot down and hold her own cup. "It's actually my second time to watch it. But still, I can't help myself not to."

"It is all fine, Nunna," Cornelia assured as she glanced at her younger half-sister with worried eyes. "After all, it is indeed a shock to find out that everything was planned. Not to mention that it is his last message for all of us."

"That's true. Lelouch is the man who always has a back-up plan and won't allow to be defeated by anyone at all," Schneizel stated just as thunder roars outside the study room's window that shows a much chaotic rain.

Nunnally sighed heavily, lowering her gaze, incredibly sad. "Onii-sama…"

"I'm sorry, Nunnally," Schneizel immediately apologize. Ever since Jeremiah accidentally used his Geass canceler on him, removing the Geass command of Lelouch onto him, he had somehow had a change of heart. Well, maybe it was cause by his defeat with the Demon Emperor. "But then—"

"No, it's alright," assured the young empress. "Because that is the truth. Onii-sama won't allow himself to be defeated so easily."

"Indeed. He is always angry every time that he loses a match in chess with Schneizel," Cornelia replied with a suppressed smile, remembering the past.

Schneizel smiled as well. "A chess record of 57 wins, 1 loses and 1 draw. Yet, he is far much better than I am."

"A draw?" Nunnally asked, surprised.

"During the celebration in Vermilion. A match interrupted," answered the prince, turning to look at her.

"Lelouch will be so angry at that time that the game was undecided," Cornelia commented, almost breaking into a laugh herself.

Schneizel eased himself with a short laugh. "True. But despite that arrogant personality, there is the clingy one."

The older princess grins at the prince's direction, saying, "Bet me on that Lelouch needs you when he is being teased."

"Well, he was teased of being arrogant and a gay," mused Schneizel.

Nunnally instantly countered, "Onii-sama isn't a gay. When we were in Ashford together, C.C. is next to him when he sleeps."

Cornelia's eyes widen at the empress's direction. "Together in bed?"

"Well, we can say that he is just any normal teenage boy with such urges," replied Schneizel.

"Urges?" the two along with him asked in unison, looking at his direction with question.

Schneizel then smiled timidly. "Father has a hundred of consorts, but we can say that Lelouch has only one. C.C. is the green-haired girl he is with all throughout, right?"

Nunnally lowered her gaze and answered, "Yes. C.C. said that they have a promised about the future."

"The future, huh?" inquired Cornelia.

"It will be great if Lelouch fulfilled that promise," Schneizel stated.

"Still, onii-sama said it himself that C.C. knows everything about the video and he had prepared another for her," the empress replied.

The royal siblings then silenced themselves afterwards and focus onto their own cups of tea. It is very visible that even how hard they try to keep the aura of happiness in remembering the past, they know that they can no longer returned to that. After everything that happened, it is indeed hard to believe that Lelouch and the others are no longer with them. Nothing is the same already.

"Peace…" Schneizel started, daring to take the risk of breaking the lingering silence. "We're all just victims ourselves. But when I and Lelouch had seen each other during the last battle, I really know that he is going to use his Geass at me and order me to die. But he didn't. He spared my life."

"He had used his Geass on the three of us, but spared us all. Clovis and Euphie were different cases." Cornelia's eyes then narrowed, remembering the start of all the conflict. "And still…"

Nunnally turned to her sister's direction, worried that hatred on her heart towards her older brother still lingers on. "Cornelia onee-sama, can't you forgive onii-sama?"

Cornelia turned to the young empress with worried eyes and a small smile. "Nunna, I wanted to, to tell the truth. I can assure you that I am thankful of him either way."

"I'm glad. That's enough for me. I know that onii-sama wanted us all to be happy." Nunnally closed her eyes for a moment and smiled, relief surging on her system.

"That's true," Schneizel stated, causing Nunnally to look up at him. "There's no need for another battle though. All of us already received the prizes with our victory, just as Lelouch wanted for us."

"The prize of peace," Cornelia stated.

Nunnally glanced at the window panel in her study room. The rain is slowly drifting away. The chaos of it had lowered and the clouds are slowly unfolding away from the bright shine of the sun. She smiled faintly as tears once again welled at the corner of her eyes. "Yes, a peaceful world. But it is the prize of salvation we all received individually. Because, it is in this world that onii-sama created, that we can finally move on."

AFTER THOUGHTS OF THE ROYAL SIBLINGS:

Nunnally vi Britannia:

Brother, why?

Since the time that I heard your voice before I became a viceroy of Japan, when you partnered with Suzaku as emperor of Britannia, and until your sacrifice and death… I have the same question all the time.

Why? Why does it really need to end this way?

I know that you are trying to fulfill your promise to me. And I am incredibly sorry. I am so sorry of betraying and losing trust on you. I don't know if I'll earn your forgiveness but you told me not to do so. Yet, I can't help myself not to. I also have my own faults with it. I am so sorry that I rivaled you even if it meant killing you. I said words that hurt you. And I am so sorry about all of it.

You can hear me, right?

I know your reasons, much better, after I watch the video you have left. And I can say that you're a liar and break every promise you've made. And yet, you did all of that for me even against all those bad things I've done to you. But, have you also forgotten that you made a promise before that you'll never leave me? I'll never leave you as well. I am already happy just with you by my side. Even if I don't get to see the world anymore, it is all fine, as long as we are together. If no guy is much better than you in this world, I'll simply not just marry because I know that you are much better and special. Maybe that's why I have my own questions to you.

Because, really, I know you are indeed special.

When I watched the video, your last message not only to me, but to everyone who know you, I can' simply forgive myself. I am the very reason why you've done everything. And yes, you are such a liar and a great actor, but you wanted me to greet tomorrow with a smile. You make me hate you so that when you die, I'll not smile. But no. I much wanted a world where you are alive. If I am to choose between a peaceful world without you in it, and world where there is chaos and war with you in it, I'll choose the latter one. It's our world before, right? And we're happy and safe because we have each other. Still, you wanted to fulfill my wish. This world that you've created for me, it is just a painful reality. It pricks my heart so badly that a lot of people call you with curses. They don't know your sacrifices. But, brother, I can tell that you succeed with your plan. And I'm proud of you with that. Still, it's a different feeling of proudness.

When you embrace death at that morning with a smile and peacefulness in your face, I welcomed it though with pain and sorrow because I lose you. Can't you understand it, brother? I fight against you and decided to hold the key of Damocles because the moment that Damocles reaches its heights and controls the whole world, they'll bear their hatred at it. I decided to carry that very burden. And then, I realized later on, you pushed me away because you are also planning the same and have been prepared all along to die afterwards.

You are such a big liar, brother. You are so selfish and I hate you for leaving me. I don't care about being an empress, but I care for your sacrifice. I won't allow anyone to disrupt the peace you have given. I won't allow that the blood you shed be in futile. At least, even if I can't be fully happy because you aren't here with me, I can at least make up it with you and protect this world.

I missed you so badly. And yes, I know, that you are watching over me from Heaven, brother. We'll meet again I know. I promise I'll make you proud, just as I am of you, and I love you so much, brother.

I can't ask for any brother that is as best as you are.

Cornelia li Britannia:

After every revelation that you've done, you didn't tell the truth about what really happened with Euphie. I have countless of questions to ask. But I know I won't have those answers anymore. After I learned the truth of your death, that it is all planned so that Euphie will not be remembered anymore by anyone as that Massacre Princess, and let her existence be remembered by only those who know her truly, maybe it is all enough for me. Her name might never be cleansed anymore but since she is no longer the talk of devil, it's somehow enough. And I am somehow grateful that I no longer need to hear the truth. Still, it is also a pain that the one who replaced Euphie is another of our siblings, the person who has an equal share of love just as her love to me. I know always that she cared for you. And I might be jealous in times, but when announcement of your death during the invasion of Japan, it make me realize how much I valued you as a younger brother as well.

But then, I know you wage the war for Nunnally and avenge Lady Marianne's death. When Euphie was killed, I also felt the same loss you have and wanted to kill Zero myself, for peace. I will never forgive you about Euphie's death, but somehow, now, I can't blame you. It's all thanks to your sacrifice as well that you decided to be called as the Demon Emperor so that Euphie's death and many others will not also be in vain.

I have enough of vengeance now. And as I look at Nunnally now, I can say that I can see myself on her as well. We've lost both of our siblings we treasured the most. But, remember this, Lelouch, you may have been the worst person for anyone, but for me and Nunnally, we can assure you that you're the greatest brother anyone could ask for. Your sacrifice is enough that fulfilled also Euphie's wish.

Schneizel el Britannia:

Lelouch, I never got to ask you why you didn't kill me. Why did you ask me to serve Zero even knowing for yourself that I expected your want me to get killed? But now, after watching your last message just like the rest, and with the Geass command you have on me cancelled by Jeremiah accidentally, I know that I owe you. I just can't kill Nunnally and proclaimed myself emperor after I killed all of our other siblings just to achieve my plans. That's why, I'll never dare. You and I know it, we were both born leaders since the start. But among any of our siblings, it was only Nunnally who will be the better fit to rule, and rest assured, I'll be with her forever. I'll protect her and serve Zero, the mantle of rebellion you've created that is now being worn by Suzaku Kururugi. I owe my life for everything you've done, for sparing my life. It is only befitting to do the right thing now.

It might be childish of me, but I miss you, Lelouch. I miss how you stomp away, angry of being defeated with a chess match of ours. My poor little brother who will cling onto me at times that he was being teased by our other siblings, saying how arrogant he is. And that little brother of mine who hates so much to lose is also dead now.

But, if I tell you now that you win in the battle of life, I know that you'll just smile simply at me. I'll not hear the devilish laugh, the triumphant one from you. And I am relief. I've seen that smile as you die. I've also seen that smile through the video you've left for all of us. And it is indeed enough to prove of your victory.

You win, Lelouch, the greatest battle of ours. And I'll remember that this is the tomorrow you want. It is beautiful compared to what I hoped for.

Now I know why you are the person that I love and feared the most. Because I fear that you are much greater than me, and loved that part of you that never give up and will fight until the end for something much beautiful.

You are indeed right, tomorrow will be better than today.

Reviews please!

I want to hear your reaction about this another one shot. I believe that after F.L.E.I.J.A. was fired at Pendragon, all of the other royal siblings except for the three above and also Lelouch at that time, were still alive. Well, maybe there are some who survived. But, I wanted to focus onto the three of them who really make an impact with Lelouch's life and were clearly unaware of his evil schemes in the start. So yeah. Again, I wanted to hear your reaction. If you want to request something else, just leave it on with your reviews! :D

Thanks! :D
