After explaining everything to Suzaku, he just nodded. "Seems like you're in pretty deep shit, Lelouch."
I nodded. "I don't know what to do. I mean, if she is pregnant...then what'll happen?"
He shrugged. "I don't know. But, what I do know is that you should tell her. The last thing you want to do is wait to tell her after it's too late."
I nodded.
He shrugged. "Besides, what the worst that can happen if you tell her?"
"YOU WHAT?"
I winced, the sound of C.C.'s yell causing my head to feel like it were splitting in two. She stood before me, wearing a floor length red dress that had long sleeves. She wore a corset (as always) and her lime green hair was up in a pony-tail. She had me backed into a corner, hand ready to slap.
She spoke though clenched teeth. "You...didn't...wear...a condom?"
I looked at my feet. "Uhh...no..."
She glared. "I can't believe it. You didn't even have one in your dresser drawer?"
I looked up at her. "I don't believe in pre-marital sex, so no."
She raised a brow. "So, what? If you don't believe in that, does that mean we got married last night too? Or do you lose all of your morals after just a couple of drinks?"
I sighed and leaned against the wall. "I don't know, alright? If you want to find out if you're...with child...then wait two weeks before taking a test."
She hesitated before nodding. "Alright; I'll wait for two weeks. If it turns out that I am pregnant, then I want you to know something..."
"What?"
"I'm not taking care of it on my own." She slapped me across the face before shoving me out of her room.
I came face to face with Kallen when I stumbled out. She looked me up an down before bowing respectfully.
"Hello, Emperor Lelouch. I apologize for the constant...abuse you recieve from her highness. She's not very civil. Rumor has it that she killed her own parents just to take her place on the throne. It's sad. She also poisoned many of her suiters after putting an innocent servent boy to death."
I looked at her. Wait, C.C. did what? She looked up at me. "Did you not know that, your highness?" I shook my head, slightly dumb founded. C.C. murdered her parents? But, maybe, like me, she had a good reason. I killed my father to keep Nunnally safe. Maybe C.C. killed her parents to keep Euphemia safe.
I sighed and looked down at Kallen, who was still bowing. "Thank you for the information. I'll make sure to be more careful."
She nodded before straightening herself up and going into C.C.'s room.
That morning at breakfast Euphemia declared something quite shocking.
"I would like everyone here to know that Suzaku Kururugi and I are engaged!" she proclaimed.
Kallen did a spit take with her water while C.C. fell out of her chair. She stood back up after a moment and asked, "How exactly did this happen?"
Euphemia looked at her sister. "It happened last night. He proposed and I said yes."
C.C. muttered, "Great...my sister's going to marry a Britannian knight. And he's going to be king of Geass."
I stopped her. "Wait; Suzaku's going to be king of Geass if he marries your sister?"
She nodded. "Yes. Once Euphemia gets married or has a child, she will be queen. Whoever she marries will become king. So, Suzaku is going to be running my country."
Euphemia giggled. "He'll make a great king."
Suzaku chose that moment to cut in. "I am so confused..."
C.C. looked at him. "Nobody cares."
I looked at her. "If Euphemia is meant to become queen, then what's going to happen to you?"
She said bluntly, "I'll be banished."
"Why?"
"Because people aren't happy that I'm queen. They want me off the throne. Everyone's hated me ever since the death of my parents."
"Why? Did you kill them?"
She glared. "What happened between my parents and I is none of your business."
I sighed and sat back in my chair. She smirked at me before taking a big drink of water from her wine glass. She froze and spit it out all over the table. I stood up from my chair and moved next to her choking form. "What's wrong?" I asked.
She coughed. "Poison."
Euphemia stared, wide eyed. "What type?"
C.C. replyed weakly, "My Love," before falling to her knees.
A/N: I know, it's short. -.- I wanted the next chapter to be half epic and half romance. Lol. That's why I cut it short. You'll learn about the My Love poison in the next chapter, btw. Please, review! And please say more than just one or two words. -.- Please.
