Author's Note: It's me again... Hello! Thank you for the good reviews so far. Yeah... That's it. On to the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass
"Welcome back to BNN, your best source of news around our great empire. Now we have a real special issue right over here, regarding the current viral photo sweeping the nation. Of Knight of Twelve, Lady Monica Krushevsky, having ahem relations with a person that looks resembles the long thought to be dead prince, Lelouch vi Britannia. Right over here is Royal Family Historian, Adorn Fallheart. Mr Fallheart, could you please tell us about Prince Lelouch and Lady Krushevsky?"
"Of course. Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, born in 1999 and the first child of the late Imperial Consort, Marianne 'The Flash' vi Britannia. Before his arrival in Area 11, he was known in Pendragon as both a prodigy, beating every person in the capital in chess with the only person stopping him was Prime Minister Schneizel, and as the Black Prince, for his choice of formal clothing is always black and his colour of choice in chess. His relationship with Lady Krushevsky? Now, this is something special. Their first meeting would be in 2006, with the late Mr Krushevsky visiting Lady Marianne for a business deal. His daughter, Lady Monica, was wandering around Aries Villa and met with the prince. What sparked there was a beautiful friendship, with talks around the court on an arranged marriage on both the prince and Lady Krushevsky. Normally people would be upset about talks like this, but his highness did not mind this at all, in fact, he enjoyed them. I have asked Knight of Round Lady Enneagram about them and she said that she read one of the letters sent on a nearly daily basis from Prince Lelouch. I have a copy of the letter right here, now it says:
'Dear Monica, the beauty of the flowers here in Aries Villa can only be matched by yours. I often think about our times together and when we first met. I wish we can spend some time together this weekend. You know what? That's what I'm gonna do. Expect me to come to visit you next Saturday. Yours only, Lelouch.'
Considering that the prince signed with 'Yours only', we can assume they were quite close."
"That sure does sound romantic."
"And with the picture released, the romance seemed to be confirmed."
"Who do you think goes top in bed?"
"Prince Lelouch usually loves control then again, records say he is inept at romance. So perhaps they take turns?"
"That sounds quite imaginative Mr Fallheart. Thank you. In other news, Pizza Hut announced a new pizza in honour of His Highness' relationship called the 'Prince's Knight' now with-"
Area 11 - Ashford Academy - Lelouch's Room
"My life is over. My life is over. My life is over." Both Monica and Lelouch are on the ground, crying themselves to sleep. The tv currently showing the news about the photo.
"It can't be that bad. Right?" Rivalz, being the one who often tries to make others smile, asked. But his question has hinted at fear.
"Come on Lulu, I mean Your Highness. You can tell us. Why is it such a big deal?" Shirley asked with envy. 'That thief is trying to steal my Lulu!'
"When you have the fact that the long to be thought dead prince and the Knight of Twelve are having an intimate relationship and it is leaked to the world, it is hard to not have an anxiety attack." Milly answered in place for the two students that are still crying.
"But why is His Highness hiding in Area 11?" Nina asked.
"My mother was assassinated. The investigation was halted and I demanded the emperor to resume it. He wouldn't so I renounced my claim on the throne. In return, he sent Nunnally and me to Japan as political hostages. When the war happened, I managed to reach the Ashfords and disguised myself as Lelouch Lamprouge."
All was silent upon hearing the hardships he had to endure. A dead mother, taking care of a disabled sister, pressure from the strongest nation on Earth, and now news of his relationship with Monica is revealed. They were surprised at how Lelouch still didn't have a mental breakdown.
Holy Britannian Empire - Pendragon
"Sister Cornelia!" Euphemia, Third Princess of Britannia, called.
"What is it Euphie?" Cornelia, Second Princess of Britannia, answered.
"It's about-"
"Stop. If it is about your 'needs', I'm afraid that-"
"But sister! Lady Monica-"
"Is a wonderful lady and you shouldn't think about her when you-"
"She found Lelouch and Nunnally!"
This made Cornelia freeze in place. It was impossible but then again, their bodies were never found.
"Look at the news." Euphemia said as she turned on the tv in the room. The news said it. A man who looks just like Lelouch is there, kissing Monica.
"... Lelouch and Monica huh?" Cornelia asked herself. "I always knew he had a thing for her."
"That witch is trying to steal my Lulu!"
"Calm down Euphie-"
"Cornelia, get the plane. Were going to Ashford."
"O-Of course."
A telephone ring is heard.
"Good day. General Cornelia here. Really? I'll be there."
"This is wonderful news! Guinevere, get the jet. We are going to visit Lelouch." Odysseus, First Prince of Britannia, requested.
"And his little blonde as well?" Carine, Fifth Princess of Britannia, asked.
"Of course. I need to see how that chess wizard managed to survive such in horrible conditions." Guinevere, First Princess of Britannia, said.
Odysseus' phone rang.
"Hello there. Oh. Oh my. We'll be there."
"Your Highness, should we visit them?"
"Of course. I would like to have a match with him again. I wonder how much he improved. Now I still have a few calls to make." Schneizel, Second Prince of Britannia, answered.
"Of course Your Highness."
Area 11 - Viceroy Palace
"Bartley! Get the limo! I need to see my little brother and his girlfriend!" Clovis, Third Prince of Britannia, demanded.
"At once Your Highness."
A phone ring is suddenly heard.
"Yes? Oh, Schneizel! What! How?! I see. Bartley! Were going to the airport."
"That skank is trying to steal my Lelouch! Oldrin, To Tokyo!" Marrybell, Leader of the Glinda Knights and Princess of Britannia yelled.
"Sure..."
Marrybell's phone rang.
"What? Really? Of course. I'm going there right now."
"Lady Marianne's son is alive! I haven't failed her! Villeta! I'm going to visit His Highness and Lady Krushevsky."
"If you say so. I'll keep things in tow here."
"Thank you."
A phone ring is suddenly heard.
"Hello? Your Highness! Is that how? I see. Thank you."
An hour before Schneizel's calls
"I know she would find allies there, but who knew one of them would be that rebellious son of mine. And for him to be dominated by a woman? I did not teach him to be submissive at romance." Charles remarked.
"You didn't really teach him anything at all." A possessed Anya said.
Charles sighed. "Perhaps I really should visit him. I haven't been the best father, have I"
"Pfffft. You just realized that now? Seriously Charles! Now you're eating that unhealthy food again. You know that is bad for you. Did you at least make Lelouch your heir? If not, I'll be sad Charles."
"Of course. Bismarck already knows about that, I left the video to show if I died early, and I already made plans about abandoning Ragnarok if I-" Charles suddenly stopped as his heart ceased functioning. Forty years of an unhealthy diet really makes your heart go nuts.
"Charles? Oh, come on!"
The doors opened to reveal Bismarck, Knight of One.
"Your Majesty. I heard a thump. Are you- ah."
"I know. Such as shame really. Well, I better go. Charles is waiting for me. And please play that video that makes Lelouch the next emperor."
"Of course."
Area 11 - Ashford Academy
All of Ashford is abuzz when major figures of the Royal Family and the Knights of Round is on stage. Lelouch and Monica tried to blend into the crowd, but glares from all over the place glued to them. Prince Schneizel walked up to the podium.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Holy Britannian Empire. It is of great sadness that I must report that the 98th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, Charles zi Britannia, is dead."
Gasps of shock are heard all over the world, along with varying emotions. Some celebrated, some mourned, while most stood frozen.
"Lord Bismarck told us that if such an event were to happen, we are to play this video. Lord Bismarck if you please."
The screen showed Emperor Charles and Empress Marianne in the dining room of the royal palace.
"People of Britannia! If this video is playing to you then it seems that due to my unhealthy diet, I have died. It is something that should be expected but let's get to the point." Charles grabbed a leg of roasted lamb and took a big chomp from it. "From this day forward, I hereby declare Lelouch vi Britannia as the new emperor should I die. All royal lines except the vi Britannia lineage will be disinherited, stripped off from their royal titles and reduced to commoners. There. How's that Marianne?"
"Wonderful Charles my dear. But please, take a salad once in a while."
"Next week."
"That's what you told me last week. Ooh, I have an idea. Why not make Monica empress as well?"
"Krushevsky's daughter? I heard about their friendship. Perhaps it would be nice to have a stunning person as your wife. I know from experience."
"You and your silver tongue. Go on. Say it to the camera."
"I shall hereby assign Monica Krushevsky as the first Imperial Consort of the new emperor, Lelouch vi Britannia. Happy now?"
"Very much."
"Alright let's get this over with.
ALL HAIL YOUR NEW EMPEROR AND EMPRESS, LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA AND MONICA VI BRITANNIA! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!"
The video then played the national anthem and the video ended.
"ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!" The entirety of Britannia roared, as they now have a new emperor.
Lelouch's body felt cold. He never expected this. First, his survival is revealed, then his love life, then he is made emperor. A grin appeared on his face.
'Well then, this might be fun.'
Monica looked at Lelouch. The grin of a benevolent master, one who forms strategies and breaks others, one who manipulates and donates, one who is clearly above all and helps those around him. That smile... That very smile... The smile she saw when she first played chess with him... That is one of the reasons why she fell in love with him.
The shouting then changed to something else.
"ALL HAIL MONICA! ALL HAIL MONICA! ALL HAIL MONICA!
The two then blushed due to the fact that this means they are both married.
'Bloody hell! We didn't even go on a date and were already married!' Monica's mind said.
"Married before a date? This sounds like some real anime shit.' Lelouch's mind commented.
