AN : Maybe you got confused with the first chapter because that chapter is just contained What Suzaku had thought and all, but here is some explanation for this story.

Lelouch is very still dead, it's just that somehow his souls is transferred to another body and purposely placed in the same exact looking boy.

Edward and Lelouch is BROTHER, although unrelated they are very much brother so don't expect some cross pairing

Lamperouge Family in this Story is actually a very far cousin of Queen Marianne Vi Britannia so they almost not related but still have a look alike feature.

And the top of all, you have to excuse me if there is so much mistakes in my grammar because English is not my first language ok! enjoy don't forget to review ok, I want to know what's your opinion so I can make my story better ^_^ enjoy

Chapter 2 : Keep Moving

Xarron Kingdom, Green Land

Moon Palace. 7.30 pm

Moon light illuminate his way, showing the right path to step. It was so peaceful, almost frightening but he knows better than awakening the beast, after all human best to life their live to the fullest, but this peace is a fake it's just a silk sheet covering a bed made of thorn, he sighed all he wanted is to sleep without fear, to life his live normally but no he had to life his live over again, even though he's happier this time it was still just for a moment, lost In thought he doesn't notice that he had arrived to his destination. Dark oak door stand firmly in front of him, covering and protecting the one who stay inside, the carve of the door showing the identity of the person who stay inside, the one who he called 'mother'.

"You know it's rude to let yourself stand too long in front of someone's door, Edward." Said a gentle voice, no one was seen but he knew better than questioning details with her.

"I'm sorry mother, I'm just a bit lost in my thought." He called out through the door.

"Come in, Ed." The door opened by itself, showing an elegant structure of the room, a simple elegance that will enchanted everyone and show what kind of a person reside in. A beautiful woman stand on the balcony of the room, moon light shining over her showing a real beauty of the world, a woman with power and experience, coated by wisdom and polish with love, a perfect leader every country could've dream of.

"Mother." He called out. A smile grace her face loving eyes fell upon him, her hand gracefully gesturing him to come closer, which he did. They sit on the wooden balcony admiring koi fish swimming under the moon light in the lake under the building. Moon Palace is built over a big lake, the whole structure of the Palace stand firm over the lake, such a beauty that no one will able to see in a modern country. It's structure itself has a combination of ancient Chinese and Japanese mixed with Europe old days, while the main land where all over government and economic activity run show a mix of traditional Europe structure with touch of green technology.

"It's such a beautiful night don't you think?" her voice is soft, gentle like a breeze of wind on Summer nights, cooling one heart and body down after such a hot day.

"It is indeed." He answered truthfully after all one have to be blind not to called such a night with a fine creature sit beside you a beautiful night. His mother smiled at him. Yes, his mother the one he almost forgot her real name was, because for him all that mattered is she's his mother, the one who gave him love, warmth, and protection, but he know better, after all this Woman who sit beside him is also the heart of Xerron, She's loved by her people, the queen that every country dream to have, a woman who loved her country like her own son, and every night, he always chanted that to his heart, that he couldn't have all of her love, just like he couldn't give her all of his love, because there's another.

"Edward, you should've known what I had called you for." Her gentle voice become much firm, indicating that this is the main reason of this conversation.

"...ah... yes, I do." He whispered knowing that this might be his last chance to hear her voice, to directly talk to her without any interruption, the last chance that he might talk to her as his mother, he averted his sighted to the corner of the room avoiding his mother eyes, the gentle eyes that read him like an opened book.

"Edward, why did you look away?"

"I can't... I can't look at you, not if this last time."

She chuckled, hearing his mother amuse tone he look at her, at this she smiled softly at her very first son. "Now that's better right? This won't be the last time we talked like this Edward that's the first thing I can assure you,"

"But it surely will be a long time before the second chance come up." He said sourly.

"Yes, that's true maybe it will take days, weeks, or even months, but believe me I will always watch over you even when we're apart."

"I know... but still... he will miss you dearly, he never apart from you this long,"

A sad smile grace her face, knowing what Edward said is the truth, her third son Lelouch never been away from her too long, but this situation couldn't be avoided too much dangerous for her children to stay in the palace, and beside she believe this will teach them to stand on their own, especially Lelouch, her fragile little son.

"This has to be done Edward, it cannot be avoided I knew this would happened someday, when the first news of me becoming the queen of Xarron sent to me." A Painful silence wrapped the entire room, they both know this is the only way to fix such a situation, she had to choose the best way for both her country and family, and Edward know if they don't go then they would be most likely killed by those who seek for power. She stand and made her way to the middle of the room.

"Stand, Edward Elric Lamperouge." Said her firmly. He complied making his way to his mother. "Kneel, my prince." And so he does.

"Edward Elric Lamperouge, the first prince of the crown, I Alexis Rheon Lamperouge the queen of Xarron, command you to protect your brother the second and third prince of my kingdom, to protect them with all your will, heart, and body, and for you to protect yourself in your quest to, will you accept this quest and carry out this duty whole heartedly?" her tone firm held the power of true leader, and he knew the woman in front of him is no longer his mother, this woman is his Queen.

"I Edward Elric Lamperouge, the first prince of the crown will accept this quest and carry it out with all my heart." Rheon offered her right hand to Edward, which he took dutifully to his lips to seal the vow. He doesn't look up, he has to be command by his queen before he could do so, but then a drop of water fall in to the floor. Hesitantly he look at his Queen and mother, tears flowing down her face, then she suddenly hug him.

"Promise me Edward, promise me the three of you will be fine, that you will be happy, find happiness my son, promise me that." Her voice thick and wet from crying, but it also warm, he returned the gesture unknowingly to him, a tear fall down from his corner of eyes.

"I promised you, mother."
