Hello Dear Followers and Readers of this story, first and foremost, I owe it to you guys for having the patience to wait for this fanfic to reach its completion after a couple of years.

Despite being busy building my life after college, it is no excuse for me to leave things unfinished, so after coming home after a year of foreign assignment, I decided to finally keep the ball rolling and patch things up with my muse.

My purpose for writing this short chapter is to clarify some things with the story. It is my oversight that I failed to clearly state the ages of our dear Suzaku and beloved Lelouch.

Chapters 1 to 5: From the moment Suzaku and Euphemia adopted Lelouch and Nunally, Lelouch is already 12 years old at this time. He is considered quite old to be living in the orphanage but it is not because no one wants to adopt him but more because no one wants to adopt his sister. Despite the slightly different family background in the anime, I made sure that the characters are still "in character". It is in Lelouch's personality to care and protect his one and only full-blooded sibling and being adopted separately from Nunally is not an option.

Suzaku on the other hand, is considered a talented and skillful young lad so despite being a foreigner, he received the blessing of the royal family to marry their youngest sibling, Euphemia. He is exactly 20 years old at this time.

Chapters 6 to End: 5 years has passed, Lelouch is already 17 years old and is known to be a ruthless and a strategic thinker just like in the anime. Suzaku is 25 so for those of you who are quite sensitive with regards to the moral implication of their relationship, rest assured that Lelouch is not that young and Suzaku is not that old for them to enter into a non-platonic relationship.

Hope this clarifies. Appreciate that you guys are voicing out your thoughts because as a writer, I am so focused on the plot that I may be missing something, so just feel free to ask and review.

Yours Truly,

The Other Romance
