All the Nobles and soldiers are gathering around outside the palace. People around 10000 are standing in front of the stage. Nobody knows the reason why they are summoned. The stage has been set for the Emperor to make the speech. Everyone is waiting for emporia Charles zi Britannia.
The first prince Odysseus eu Britannia, The first princess Guinevere su Britannia, The second prince Schneizel el Britannia along with his political and military adviser Kanon Maldini, The second princess Cornelia li Britannia, the third prince Clovis la Britannia are sitting across each other. They are gossiping with each other to know why the Emperor summoned them.
The rumor about a terrorist attack the palace and prince Lelouch vi Britannia was killed in that accident was spreading nobody know for certain there is tear forming in eye of Cornelia li Britannia, She cannot believe her brother died, It was practical her fault she send Lelouch to the palace how can she show her face to Nana and Euphie, Clovis put his hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her but in his mind praying to god about rumor being false.
Media are also present covering live telecast of the video from imperial palace telecasting all over contrary.
"The royal majesty the 98th emperor of holy Britannia Empire will now give a word of condolence" one of the announcers said.
Then The Emperor Charles zi Britannia walk silently towards the stage, People cheering for the Ruthless Emperor then The Emperor silence them by taking his two hands up all the people silence.
"All man are not created equal some are born smarter or more beautiful, or with parents of greater status, some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different. Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That is why there is war, violence and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is. What become of the EU, who claimed all are equal? It is in constant because its talents go against human nature. The Middle Eastern Federation, which harbors similar sentiments, is constantly mired in sloth. But our Britannia is not like them. We put an end to wars and evolve with every conquest. Britannia alone looks forward and moves towards a better future. The death of my son Lelouch is yet more proof that our empire is evolving. Fight, for the future in the hands of its rulers. All hail Britannia!"
Then all who were watching shouted "All hail Britannia!"
"All hail Britannia!"
"All hail Britannia!"
"All hail Britannia!"
"All hail Britannia!"
Then Emperor Charles zi Britannia take his leaves aura of sadness spread all around the place, as a drop of tear fell from Cornelia's eye.
Nunnally and Euphemia are crying for days hearing the news of their favorite brother died in a terrorist attack. They lock themselves for days now without eating foods and drinking water. The made are worrying about them Cornelia and Clovis trying to convince them for eating food but they fail.
Marianna vi Britannia is not sad about Lelouch being declared dead because she know truth about Lelouch being alive but in the same time he is same as dead because he is not coming back he is loyal to the emperor now In truth Marianna does not want this fate for Lelouch but she cannot allow their plan to fail just because Lelouch know about the plan she was sad because she even ready to kill Lelouch for their plan 'am I so desperate that I did not hesitate to kill my own son what am I even my son died and my daughter crying for days and I did not go to see he. I am not a mother I am a monster' Marianna thought about that while going towards her daughter.
"Is Nunnally and Euphemia have eaten yet" asked to Cornelia who is sitting beside them.
"I told them to eat but they refuse Nunnally is senseless few times"
"Nana is your brother happy if you don't eat food"
"He promise to by my side forever but he leave me so why should I care about how he feel" while tear falling from her eye.
"I know he always be by your side. Even if you want, you can never get him out of your heart, he will feel the pain that you feel, he will feel the happiness that you experience, and he will be in our heart forever. So we will seek happiness for his sake and in the end we will all be together forever" Marianna comforted. 'Yes Lelouch will be with us forever, once our plan success all the dead shall rejoin, and Lelouch is still alive, it does not matter if he ate me we all be together for eternity' Marianna thought, then she took two long breath to calm herself.
"But…"
"You know very well Lelouch hated being hungry" with this she brings food from the plate and take near her mouth "or do you want your brother mad"
"NO we don't want to" both of them took food while a sad smile appears at their face.
"I tried so hard but they don't take a bite but when you say they eat happily" complained Cornelia.
"Even if we all sad but we have to move forward the future we sacrifice a lot we cannot stop here" talk as if daydream about something.
"What"
"No it's nothing I will leave now take care of them"
"Yes my lady" bowing her head to empress.
Marianna enter her room aura of sadness around her sitting near cc who was sleeping in her bed, She was surprise by not seeing any pizza box she try to ask why but she could not her head fall down tear falls 'Why… why does this have to happened? I have to shade tear in his death even I am ready to kill him'.
"You came back so soon I thought it is hard to make our Nana understand but to think you did well, what happen you look sad" concerned about her contract.
"Did we do the right thing by rewrite his memory?"
"Well everyone has to make their own decision but being force to do something is wrong but you have to sacrifice something for greater good it's up to you to decide if it is worth it or not"
"I don't know what to do, I don't want to see Lelouch hart but I am ready to kill him, it's my responsibility as a mother to protect him but I tried to kill him I don't know what I should do"
"If you want to protect someone you should get them out of harm's way, but I never thought you could try to harm Lelouch"
"Do you think if Lelouch know about our plan he will support us?" Asked Marianna
"That a mystery you may never found out"
"Is it possible to cancel Charles's geass?" Marianna asked.
"I don't know" answered CC.
"I want you do something for me please" This statement shocked CC; Marianna never said anything like that to her.
"What is it?"
"I want you to look after of Lelouch for me" Marianna stated simple.
"Is not he taken by Bismark for training?"
"Yes I will feel more comfortable if you take care of him, he will be staying with you I will talk to Bismark, if you do this then I will give a pizza pass in all over Britannia. So you can eat all the pizza in all over the world and don't you think about making a contract with him"
"Ok … Ok but I think he is quite interesting boy" CC smiled.
"Keep your curiosity to yourself"
"Ok fine" agree CC then she was about to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" Marianna questioned her.
"All my pizza is free now and it has been three long days since I had some pizza"
"That's odd to hear from an immortal" But the door is already closed.
Bismark and Lelouch are ready to leave the palace. Lelouch wearing a mask to avoid any suspicion, but he don't understand why Bismark told him to wear a mask. He was ready starting his training so that he can be some use to Emperor.
Door open and he saw Bismark "are you ready to leave?"
"Yes sir"
Then both of them surprise when they saw Empress Marianna VI Britannia along with another women coming towards them.
"Good to see you again you're Empress." Bismark greeted "what bring you here your Empress"
Marianna signaled so Lelouch bowed and leave the room after that Marianna explained "You know that Lelouch is my son even he get in our way still I care for him so I want you to take care of him and, This is CC I send her to take care of Lelouch, She will be Living with Lelouch, and don't push him too hard"
"Of course your Empress" bowing his head while Marianna leaving the room and left CC.
After Marianna leaves the room Lelouch enters the room and asked "What happened sir?"
"This is CC you will be staying with her in your training period, Empress personally selected her" Bismark explained.
"Pack yourself we will leave in one hour" Bismark declared.
"Yes sir" only Lelouch said.
After one day journey they both reach at hill top with a single house, Lelouch was quite surprise at this he thought 'I should be start training but what is this place'
"Why are we here? We should started training" questioned Lelouch.
"The basic training of a soldier is survival, our Emperor always said that only strong can survive in an extreme case you would to collect your own food and you have to survive for 6 month. After that your training starts"
"Yes sir" Lelouch was completely satisfied with Bismarck's answer.
"I will take my leave" then torn his face towards CC and said "everyday someone will come to visit you, whatever you need you can ask and don't help Lelouch unless it is too urgent."
After Bismark left CC opened the bag and brought out a pizza "you want some boy" She asked.
"NO thanks" Lelouch shot back.
"Well get comfortable, we will be living together now"
