Arrival
Summary - Just after the end of Lelouch's speech, the Emperor decides to go to Area 11 with the entire imperial family for he wanted to meet him in person. In Area 11 Lelouch and Nunnally visit the Ashford Academy.
Britannia, Pendragon, Imperial Palace, Dining hall.
The Emperor is eating at the dining hall with his wives and children when a servant interrupted them and said that the vi Britannia siblings are alive. At first nobody believed him except for Euphemia; who ran towards the living room, knowing that one such thing would be announced, she is then followed by her sister Cornelia, her mother and then the others. Upon arriving at the living room, she immediately opened the T.V, showing the changed but recognizable faces of their beloved siblings. The Emperor can see random emotions from his family; a majority of them are shocked and surprised, they have no idea how Lelouch and Nunnally survived the invasion. After Lelouch's speech; he can see that while Euphemia, Cornelia, Guinevere and Odysseus seem happy about the news, Carine along with the consorts who hated Marianne became angry because her children didn't die. The Emperor heard Lelouch's plan to help restore the honour of the Ashford's for helping them. He thought of giving them something higher in return. This is not to show that he is grateful for them, it's because he has to earn their and his children's trust, especially Lelouch who he has plans for.
But for Nunnally; his blind, crippled daughter is utterly useless and worthy of disposing. However if he did that, he'll lose the complete trust of Lelouch. So he must think of a position suitable for Nunnally despite her condition.
"All of you, start packing, we are going to Area 11." He said to his family. He doesn't want anyone to know that he will see Lelouch in person.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroy's palace.
Just after the speech, Lelouch wonders what will happen next now that they are shown to the world. This event is a point of no return for them both because if they hide again, he's sure that the Imperial Family will put more effort to find them and may even go so far as threatening anyone that has a connection to him.
"You seemed troubled, your highness." Jeremiah interrupted his thoughts. He looked at the man who is pushing Nunnally's wheelchair.
"Not really Jeremiah, I'm just thinking about what will happen when we faced our family. I remember that most of my father's consorts disliked us because of our mother's commoner origins." he replied to Jeremiah.
"Don't worry your highness; I'm sure that his majesty shall protect both of you from his consorts."
"I hope so Gottwald." Lelouch said
"Margrave Jeremiah, where shall we stay now that we are discovered as royalty?" Nunnally asked to the Purist leader.
Lelouch didn't think of that. Where should they live now that they are identified as royal people? They can't just live in an apartment or dorms because Britannians' view it as not suitable for royalty.
Jeremiah answers Nunnally's question, "Prince Clovis offers you to reside temporarily in the Minervan palace, its built on a cliff in the Sagami Bay south west of Tokyo; you will enjoy the view of the sun and the vast oceans."
Both of them think it's a nice place to stay but Nunnally requests something to Lelouch. "Big brother, can we stay at Ashford Academy for one last time? I really miss everyone in there."
Lelouch remembers his friends Shirley, Milly, Nina and Rivalz; now that their true identities are discovered, they will rarely see them due to the possible positions their father will give them.
Suddenly Clovis appears out of nowhere before saying, "I just heard Nunnally's statement."
They stopped walking upon seeing him and Lelouch was about to say something, but Nunnally said, "So you agreed, brother Clovis."
Clovis looks at Nunnally before saying, "A royal person shouldn't be with commoners, but since you can rarely see them, I have to agree."
Nunnally was joyous while Lelouch made a smile in his face.
"Thank you, brother." Nunnally said.
"Anything for my half-sister." Clovis replied.
Now that Clovis agreed; Lelouch told Jeremiah bring at least three guards with them to act as bodyguards. A minute later three men appears in front of them. They wore the uniforms of Clovis's royal guards but their colors are black colored.
They moved to the main entrance of the palace; it was a large cedar door with two guards stationed in there, Lelouch can hear the flashes of cameras and voices of the people outside which made him nervous.
"You two, open the door." He said to the guards at the door.
The guards opened the door revealing a long red carpet leading to their limousine and hundreds of reporters and cameramen which are blocked by guards. Lelouch and Nunnally walk straight ahead to their car ignoring the media.
After entering the car with Jeremiah and the three guards, Nunnally told the driver to head to Ashford Academy.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Ashford Academy, former Lamperouge residence
(Milly's perspective)
Milly was taking a shower in Lelouch's room because he and Nunnally are gone; she sent Sayoko to buy groceries and told her father that she plansned to turns Lelouch's former home into a dorm for student council members since the house has ten vacant rooms. A minute later she hears the screaming of thousands of girls outside, she thought it must be a celebrity.
"A celebrity in Ashford? But why?" She said as she turns off the shower and puts on her yellow bathrobe before stepping out of the bathroom. She went to the bed where her fresh uniform and undergarments are placed. She saw that her breasts were a little large for the bathrobe to close which exposes her cleavage.
Once she sat in the bed, she pulled a hair comb from the pocket in her uniform and began fixing her blonde hair.
She hears the opening of the room door on her left. Milly turned her head to that direction only to see a surprised Lelouch.
"Lelouch! Why did you come back?" An embarrassed Milly tries to cover her exposed cleavage from him.
(Lelouch's perspective)
Lelouch quickly closed the door of his former house immediately after Nunnally and Jeremiah entered, the guards were left outside to control the mob of fan girls who were after Lelouch.
"Are you really this popular your highness?" Jeremiah asked. The way he saw how the girls chased them was like being chased by a hungry pack of wolves.
"Yes Jeremiah, alway stay next to my sister; I will just go to my old room." Lelouch said.
He climbed the stairs and walked straight to his former room.
He opened the door only to see Milly in a bathrobe with her cleavage exposed, he saw surprised, what was she doing in his room. When she noticed him, she blushed in embarrassment and covered her cleavage before asking a question.
"Lelouch! Why did you come back?" She asked she asked herself what reason for him to go back.
"Nunnally wants to spend a day in here; she kind of misses you guys." Lelouch scans the entire room with his violet eyes; all of Milly's belongings are in his room but why.
"You're moving in to my house." Lelouch came on a conclusion that Milly moved to his former home.
"I am making this house a dorm of the student council members since both you and Nunnally aren't coming back." She explained to Lelouch before asking another question, "Lulu, do you care or love someone?"
"Yeah you, Rivalz, Nina, Shirley and Nunnally." He explained.
Milly moves her view from Lelouch to the ground as her heartbeat increases. This may be the perfect time to reveal her feelings for Lelouch since she was twelve. Lelouch wonders whets wrong with Milly.
'Is she sick, no she isn't you know her she regularly takes her vitamins.' Unknown to anyone he also has feelings for her, after all her family is the reason why they lived. A flashback occurs in Milly's mind.
Flashback Begins
It was six years ago, Milly was climbed and sat on a branch of a tree in Ashford, she was already the student council president at the age of 12 and always hosts parties and feasts once a week.
She looks on the ground and saw the 11 year old Lelouch on his knees panting, he was exhausted for chasing Milly for the past 5 minutes.
A smiling Milly decides to mock Lelouch for his poor endurance by saying, "Hey Lulu, tired already, it was just five minutes since we start. You can't climb this tree so you can't catch me."
Lelouch was already popular at this age due to his intellect and handsomeness. The girls old and young fell for him. Sometimes Lelouch was being chased by a mob of girls so Rivalz is always there to rescue him. Lelouch made multiple hiding places in case an event like this happens again. The last time they caught him is that he was pulled from every direction.
The exhausted Lelouch looks at Milly who was laughing this time. Suddenly he saw a lizard came out of nowhere and jumped to Milly's left hand, Milly felt this and tries to remove the lizard by violently shaking her hand for she is herpetophobic. The lizard jumped to her shoulder which made Milly let out a scream of fear and fell backwards from the branch.
Lelouch sees this and anticipates where she will fall. He made a run for that place which took away almost all of his remaining breath, Milly fall to his arms and in turn he fell to his knees. Milly opened her eyes and saw Lelouch she also looked if the lizard was still in her shoulder but it was gone.
"Milly are you alright?" asked a concerned Lelouch.
"Yes, Lulu." she replied.
For the next several days, she began to admire Lelouch; she was sending him gifts as a secret admirer.
Flashback ends
That memory was the day she developed feeling for him. After all Lelouch may be scrawny but he is intelligent, handsome and is willing to put his life on the line to protect those he love or important to him.
"Lelouch could you sit beside me?" Milly said which made Lelouch curious of what will happen but he still followed and sat beside her.
Milly shifted her head to him before she said, "You know you were more than a foster brother to me."
This made Lelouch wonder "Then what am I to you?"
"S-someone I fell in love with." Milly takes Lelouch's hand. Lelouch was surprised after all these years Milly loved him but not as a foster brother or a friend but as a lover.
"Mi-Milly!?" Lelouch said while he was still surprised.
"I've hidden this feeling for the past years because I didn't have the courage to tell you because though that maybe you didn't like me." Milly was looking away again thinking that Lelouch doesn't like her.
Lelouch grabs her chin using his index finger on his right arm and makes her look at him.
Beneath an open window in the room, a reporter with a sandy brown hair peeks at them luckily for him he wasn't noticed by any of the two. He saw the Eleventh Prince of Britannia and a woman who appears to be Milly Ashford; heiress of the Ashford house.
"What is this, a handsome prince and a beautiful heiress; together in a single room, this should be interesting." He pulled out a handheld camera and began recording the two.
"I love you Milly." Lelouch simply said.
Milly's eyes widened, what she thought about Lelouch was wrong. "L-Lelouch..." they continued staring at each other until...
Milly crashed her lips to Lelouch's and enveloped her arms on his neck. They were French kissing as they hungrily hug each other's lips. The reporter is shivering in arousal but kept the camera on them. Milly pushes Lelouch's torso and fell from the back. Milly climbed on top of his and covers their bodies with the blanket on the bed. She untied her bathrobe and throws it to the ground. Lelouch was feeling aroused due to her bare body touching his as they resumed the lip lock.
'Oh my god!' The reporter thought. What he is seeing is the Eleventh Prince of Britannia and the sole heiress of the Ashford house is about to engage in a sexual intercourse.
They didn't stop kissing, that is until...
"Your highness an ele-" Jeremiah opened the door with Sayoko; who was carrying the groceries Milly asked her to buy on his side. Lelouch and Milly responded by quickly separating from each other; Lelouch moved to the edge of the bed while Milly on its corner wrapped in a white blanket. The reporter outside the window finished the recording and ran away. All four were currently blushing in embarrassment.
"F-forgive me, your highness." Jeremiah closed the door as he realized that he interrupted the prince's private time.
Lelouch and Milly stare at each other; embarrassed because they were caught on the act.
Area 11, Royal Airport
The Emperor told Clovis that he was arriving in Area 11 with the entire family. So he awaits them at the airport for their private jet. It has been a day since Lelouch and Nunnally went to Ashford. He looks at the blank blue sky and saw a dark blue jet with the Holy Britannian Empire emblem on it; it is the jet of the royal family.
"They have arrived." Clovis said to himself.
