Epilogue - The Message in a Bottle
May 25, 2021
Aboard the Lamperouge, traveling across the Cape Of Good Hope.
Dear Lelouch,
Its been 3 years since our little encounter, hasn't it? Alot has changed. Nunnally already had twenty-two different suitors already. I think there just wasting their time. Nunnally loves Suzaku and she's just waiting for the right age for her to get married. Maybe in two to three more years, I guess. Your sister's beauty just keeps on growing. Even Suzaku's starting to fall for her. You think that's good start, right? What else? Hmmm. Oh, Jeremiah has become the top agriculturist in the world. Who would have thought that your "Orange" trick played a good role. Anya enrolled in Ashford two years ago. Jeremiah told her that the farm was no place for a child, yet. Lloyd and Cecile married on the 23rd of October last year. They'll be expecting there baby in three months. Good for them.
By the way, Rivalz and Milly are finally dating last month. Rivalz finally made his move, and I'm happy to say that I was part of it.
Milly was doing an exclusive on the recent fog that surrounded the whole campus of Ashford. It was a primetime report, so many people were watching from their homes. She went inside the academy with her crew. As they passed the the center fountain, they saw Rivalz behind it, holding roses and chocolates. He raised his hand for the signal, and we turned on the fans. As the fog cleared out, the lights went up and she saw the garden full of flowers and at the center, there was a post:
"If takes me this much to try again, I'll do it because its worth it."
Milly smiled and Rivalz called to her.
"Milly! look behind the Academy!" And there we were, flying our Knightmares. Me, Gino, and Suzaku, holding the biggest tarpaulin I've every seen.
"Milly Ashford. Would you go out with me?"
Milly was speechless. She was so touched that someone would go all out just to ask her on a date. She held her microphone, not minding the live airing, and shouted:
"Rivalz Cardemonde! Yes! I'll go out with you!"
Until now, the media was talking about it. The broadcasting company didn't mind the incident. Instead, they made it the headlines in their morning report. Dubbing it as the "OMG Moment Of 2021" Oh Lelouch, I wish you could've seen it. We all did. It was like a hige milestone on our part.
I just noticed, I'm being unfair to you. I keep talking about other people's lives but not mine. Well, here it is. We're heading back to Japan right now. We stopped a few hard-headed pirates that were sailing in the Aegean. Its been getting a little busy since I was announced the new commander of the Royal Guard, alongside Zero. Well, about my lovelife? Hmmm.
Gino and I have started seeing each other last December when he asked me out during Christmas Eve. He's a little clumsy and childish at times, but I think that makes him charming.
Well, I'm off for another meeting in the bridge. Like I promised to myself, I will never forget you.
With love,
Kallen
She then placed the letter in a bottle and gave it to an international delivering robot. It was a gift given by Lloyd so that she can send letters to anyone around the world. All she need to do was type the area and click on which spot the message will be dropped.
"Kamine Island. Just drop it here."
Then she watched as the robot flew away and left her quarters for the meeting.

At the shores of Kamine Island. There was girl in her white bikini, taking a sunbathe. Her green hair shining with her purple sunglasses on. at her two sides, there were two small tables. On the left side, there was Cheese-kun. And on the right side, there was pizza.
"Ah! The breeze here can never be found anywhere else."
Then suddenly, she heard something coming her way. She sat up and saw the robot. It was holding a bottle with letter in it. The robot then dropped the bottle and flew away.
C.C. smirked and went on to get the bottle.
"Another letter? Should I read it again before he does?" C.C. chuckled as she was about to open the bottle. Then the island shook, C.C. stumbled. So did Cheese-kun and the pizza, they were all feeling the sand.
"A little rude, isn't it? Fine, I'll be right there." C.C. was mad. Not only did Cheese-kun got sandy, but the pizza as well. She then walked into the entrance of the ruins behind her.
She then proceeds to a huge stone door and touched it. She was then transported to a different world.
She was standing on the stairs behind a door. She went up and saw the sky. She was floating in the huge stone that had the symbol of Geass at its center. The platform was at the bottom of a bigger stone, almost like a planet. Then she saw the scattered bottles and papers in the floor.
"Not planning to clean up, are you?" Then the floor shook, and the planet-like stone change state. It looked like an huge amethyst stone. A loud voice was surrounding C.C.
How could you expect me to clean up?
"Just blow it with a wind, You control this place."
Then it would just fall from the floating platform? This are not pieces of junk, C.C.
"I know."
And so you do. Now, the bottle your holding?
"Wait. Why did you have to shake the island? Now I can't eat my pizza."
Why did you try to open it? Its for me, isn't it?
"How do you know its for me. She could be writing to me too, you know."
Why would she write to you? She hates you.
C.C. laughed.
"Maybe your right. After showing her what I was doing to you, she couldn't stand me."
That's because your Witch. Try not to forget that.
"Yeah. Although, instead of going into her mind, you could've just let her in here, you know."
If I showed her this place, things may get a little complicated-
"That your consciousness was sent here since you casted Geass during the Ragnarok Junction. You became part of the gods, unintenionally.
And the gods have become a part of you."
Yeah. That would probably be the case.
"And instead of showing her this place, you created a world where your memories and her memories where merged so that you can see the outside world. And to have one last quality time with her, right?"
Yeah. I did that. Why? Are you jealous of her, Witch?
"Shut it."
C.C. then opened the bottle and got the letter inside. She placed the letter on the floor.
"Ok, I won't read it anymore. I think I'm becoming a little unfair to her. I get to talk to you whenever I want. And she writes letters to someone who won't answer back."
The voice laughed.
Has the Witch grown a soft-spot for Kallen? That's new.
"Yeah. Maybe it is." C.C. smiled as she remembers her time with Kallen in the merged memory.
"Listen, I better get back to the new orphanage I run. The children can't handle a day without their mom."
I see. Thanks for bringing the letter here. Better take care of them properly, understand?
"Of course I will."
Take care of yourself, C.C.
"Thanks. See you soon, Lelouch."
" The Beelzebub story was getting a little to complicated for me. So, I cancelled it for the time being and finished the epilogue instead. Haha.
Thank you for reading my work!

I've been thinking about this for some time now, and different plots of this story continues to fill up in my mind. Confrontations, Twists, Closures. Man, my head hurts. Haha. And maybe its time to let it out.
I'll be making a sequel to this story soon. I hope you'll like it.
