Lelouch grabbed the mirror from the table on his left and uses it to look at his left eye. There he sees the eagle-like symbol of the mystical power called Geass.
"Big brother, could you give me that mirror you're using?" Nunnally requested to her brother. Lelouch gave the mirror to his sister as a reply. Upon having the mirror, she touched the skin near her eye to see if it hurts.
"Does it hurt?" asked a worried Lelouch. He was having second thoughts about this power. He has a theory that this will greatly affect their lives.
"No, it doesn't." Nunnally said back as she gave the mirror to his brother who then returned it to the table
Marianne went to Rai and starts discussing something. C.C decided to tell the siblings about their Geass so they could have knowledge of it, "I should give you more details about that Geass that the both of you received." the Vi Britannias stared at the Green haired Immortal as C.C looks at Lelouch before saying, "Lelouch's Geass is what i call the 'Power of Absolute Obedience'; it allows you to give any person a command that they cannot avoid. The effects will lasts until that persons command is finished." She saw an impressed Lelouch before shifting her sight to the wheelchair-bound princess.
"Nunnally has the 'Power of Absolute Vision' which allows her to see any person and hear what are they saying or thinking within a radius of 100 Km; thereby allowing her to monitor any person's activities." C.C said
"Can i try it?" Nunnally asked C.C permission to test her power.
"Of course, it's your Geass anyway."
Nunnally begins using her Geass. the eagle-like symbol in her eye glows brighter. her vision shifted to a 4D image of the entire room, although completely transparent letting her see the entire interior of the hospital while the people illuminated by a blue color.
"What do you see Nunnally?" Lelouch asked
"From what I can see, the environment is quite transparent while people are coloured blue."
When Nunnally was thinking who will she choose to see, she picked Milly. Her vision shifted from the hospital room she is currently in, to the football field in Ashford Academy. She is on the sky yet saw the Student Council president on a birds eye view. She is in the fields along with 2 other cheerleaders who are on her left and right side practicing their cheer for the upcoming game of the Academy's football team, the Ashford Paladins against Adkins University's Archers. Even though Mlly's face seems happy, Nunnally still knows that she is worried for her brother's condition.
Nunnally deactivated her Geass thus returning her vision to normal.
"I saw Milly at Ashford practising for the Paladins game against the Adkins Archers."
Lelouch shifted his head to the right and saw the T.V remote. He grabbed it and activates the T.V, he changed to the news channel, wanting to know what happened while he was asleep. There he saw an anchorwoman wearing a blue dress.
"This morning, his highness Lelouch vi Britannia was shot by a terrorist in Ashford Academy. He was immediately sent to the hospital to be saved while the guards led by the Purist Factions leader, Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald, captured the terrorist who was later identified as Kallen Stadtfeldt, daughter of Baron WilliamStadfeldt from an Eleven woman." a picture of Kallen being escorted by the guards to the entrance of the prison covers the entire screen.
"His Majesty Charles zi Britannia sentenced her to death by firing squad on the Town Square at 9:00 AM for attempted regicide."
It is obvious to everyone that a regicide, attempted or successful is the highest form of treason in the empire. It is rare for an event like this to occur since both Britannians and numbers alike fear and respect the royal family.
Lelouch decided to save her from execution. She and her terrorist cell are vital for the 1st phase of his plans against the empire. He removed the green blanket covering his lower body and placed his feet to the white cold floor of the room before saying, "I need to rescue her."
Everyone seems shocked by his decision. Why would Lelouch rescue a person that nearly killed him?
"But why?" Nunnally asked concerned for her brother's safety.
"I'll use her for a project I have been planning since we were discovered." Lelouch lied but was not detected by Nunnally. He did this by carefully managing his voice and movements. He grabbed a black phone from his pocket and dialled Jeremiah's number. "Jeremiah its Lelouch, I need you to do me a favor."
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, City Square.
August 11 2017 a.t.b
9:05 AM, Wednesday
After being brought to the 5 meter high and 50 long platform that was guarded by 4 Sutherland's of the Purist Faction, a cuffed Kallen was placed at the centre facing the 4 guards that will execute her a few meters away from where is she standing. Behind them are the crowd of exactly 900 people who came to see the death of the prince's would-be assassin. Some of them were cheering for the guards to kill her, some were shouting that she shouldn't have existed, some were making foul callings on her mother such as bitch, whore, wench, demon, filth etc. Elevens were also invited so then can witness what will happen if a single one of them commits a crime like this. There were men, women and even children watching this. To ensure that no fighting and killing will happen, a thick line of at least 200 soldiers guards the elevens, each are carrying a GD Z01 bullpup assault rifles (its the weapon the Britannian infantry are using in the anime) that they will use if the elevens attempts to attack.
Moving her head to the left she saw her father and step-mother on a balcony of a nearby building with two royal guards guarding them. Beside her father is her tearful mother, Yuki Kouzuki restrained by a royal guard who was having a difficulty in restraining her with his hands. She was screaming for her daughters name but unfortunately Kallen can't hear her due to the loud voices of the crowd. The guard, who had enough of this eleven's screaming; gags her mouth with a red towel.
Kallen returns her vision to the guards and saw the newly arrived middle aged officer who plunges the crowd in absolute silence just by raising his right hand at them. In every execution there will always be an officer who will initiate the execution. There were many cameras in the area since executions like this are always being watched live on T.V all over the Empire.
Within the thick crowd of elevens, Ohgi and the all members attended to see their friend's last moments, Ohgi blames himself for leading Kallen to this big mess, he failed his friend Naoto on the duty to protect his sister in all times. His guilt overwhelmed him since last night.
With the crowd silenced he now initiates the execution. he clears his voice and let's out his loud voice
"READY!" the 4 soldiers stands straight, aims their rifles at the wide blue sky and sticks their shoes to each other while maintaining their heads at the half-blood.
"AIM!" they pointed their rifles at her and placed their right eye at the scope. Kallen sees Oghi and all of the resistance and gave them a smile before closing her eyes.
"FI-!"
"STOP!" a sudden loud voice interrupts the officer.
They all reacted by moving their eyes and heads towards the source of the voice and saw someone in a white and yellow suit. It was the Eleventh Prince of Britannia. Behind him are 3 black limousines and Jeremiah along with 2 dozen soldiers.
"Prince Lelouch..." the officer whispered in surprise.
"Why did his highness stopped the execution of this half blood?" a duchess asked his husband.
Everyone was in absolute silence until the prince spoke,
"I, Lelouch vi Britannia hereby stops this execution and grants Kallen Stadtfeld amnesty for her crime."
Everyone, especially Kallen's friends, family and herself are shocked by his announcement which resulted to a few gasps, sighs and mutters. Yet the latter two are filled with relief now that she will be safe. Kallen and the others are confused, why would the prince rescue someone that could have killed him.
For Lelouch, her freedom has a price.
"However," he continueed which again brought absolute silence upon the crowd, "In return for amnesty, you shall tell us all you know about the Terrorists you were with."
This shocked her and her friends.
"I would rather die than do that, your highness." Kallen was glaring at Lelouch, who just smirked at her, but unknown to everyone, this smirk indicated that the prince knew that she will say this and had a plan of persuading her.
"Then that means i'll have to resort to hard way. GUARDS!"
The car behind him was opened by Jeremiah who then dragged a hooded person wearing a prison suit. He placed the person beside Lelouch and forced him to kneel. Everyone can hear muffles from the person. Suddenly they all turned their heads when they hear a sudden shout. They saw the Stadtfeldts being restrained by guards and either aimed a gun on their head or a blade near their necks.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING! LET US GO!" Kallen's step-mother demanded to know why is this happening to them.
"I'm sorry my Lady, but this is his highness's order." one of the guards said
Unknown to them, these guards were Geassed by Lelouch. He ordered them to hold the Stadtfelds hostage until Kallen accepts his proposal when they hear the word Guards.
Lelouch grabbed and removed the hood of the person, revealing the heavily battered and bruised face of a mouth gagged eleven. This shocked the entire crowd of Britannians and Elevens while Kallen, her friends and family recognized him in horror.
"N-N-Naoto..." Kallen,Yuki and Oghi said in horror, after seeing the thought to be dead person.
"B-But how-" Kallen continued only to be cut off by Lelouch.
"The authorities lied to the public about his death, they needed to know where is the location of his terrorist cell by using drastic measures which resulted to this." he pointed his hand at Naoto's face.
William Stadtfeldt who was horrified a his sons fate looks away unable to stand the look of what his son has experienced. he saw a crying Yuki who is feeling the same as him.
"Now tell me where is the location of your terrorist cell, if not," Lelouch snapped his fingers which signalled Jeremiah and the others to start relentlessly beating Naoto, he may be enjoying this on the outside but inside he's not 'Forgive me Naoto Kozouki, but this is the only way,' "Then your brother will be beaten to death." Every eleven can only watch in horror and anger as they watch one of their own being beaten.
"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!" Kallen tearfully begs Lelouch to stop his men from what are they doing to her brother as she fell to her knees.
Oghi and the others cannot withstand the sight and sound of this any longer. Their friend Naoto is being mercilessly beaten to the ground by the Britannians. They wish to save him but to do that they must reveal themselves as terrorists. Ohgi hesitates on doing something but after seeing very tearful Kallen he gives in"Forgive me my friends but i can't lose Naoto again." Ohgi grabs a gun from his pocket and shoots at the sky, stopping the beating and attracting the attention of everyone.
"YOU WANT US, THEN HERE WE ARE!" Oghi yelled at the prince. His group was shocked at what has he done. Lelouch stopped the beating of Naoto and ordered a small portion of the guards separating the elevens from the Britannians moved to Ohgi and the people near him with their weapons aimed at them. Most of the group, mainly Tamaki and Minami curses Oghi for his decision of sentencing them to their doom just to save a friend and reminding him that great sacrifices has to be made to completely free Japan from the iron grip of Britannia while a few who knew both Ohgi and Naoto completely understand his decision and forgave him for his decision.
Lelouch looks at the soldiers who were now handcuffing the terrorists. Tamaki violently struggled not to be cuffed only to be knocked out by a fast jab of a soldier which resulted to him falling to the cold floor.
Lelouch approached one officer who was part of the guards that surrounded the terrorists and activates his Geass "Tell the Warden that make sure these prisoners are treated properly and shall do nothing on them unless I say so, after that wait for my next orders."
"Yes your highness." said the Geassed guard.
Lelouch turned his vision towards Jeremiah "Take her and this eleven, they're coming with us." he said as he walks straight to the limousine.

"So they managed to survive the invasion?" V.V said while watching the News about the Vi Britannias survival through a holographic screen which was generated through a blue light on the throne room. The feature of this is that it has no keyboard and mouse, for it is operated by V.V using only his mind through the use of a microchip implanted deep within his brain. He is not much shocked about their rediscovery and said, "I might have underestimated Lelouch too much, an intellectual person can think of many possible ways to survive." He knew when Lelouch was 10-years old, he has an IQ of 125 giving him a superior intellect and making him second only to Schneizel on the most intelligent members of the royal family.
"Still i can't allow them to live, how about i send a Kaiser in Area 11 to hunt and kill them, but we only saw it fought mere soldiers, it might not be suitable for a Combined Arms battle." He browsed more news about then and saw the article about Lelouch's near-successful assassination and a breaking news about him saving his assassins execution. "Quite resilient have you become after 7 years of hiding Lelouch, but it won't help you and your sister of surviving your death." he contacted the Head of the Kaiser Program, Dr. Carl Marsrin via Video call. Marsrin appeared on the screen, he is currently in the lab working on possible improvements for the Kaiser. Behind him are a huge cylinder water pod containing the Kaiser that made the test run on the proving grounds yesterday.
"Ah, Director V.V how may I help you?" Marsrin greeted the leader of the Geass Order.
"I need you to make some improvements on the Kaiser in 7 days, I'll be needing them for something very urgent."
"I'm already working on it sir, it might take 3-5 days for me to find and make the improvements."
"It'll do." V.V said before cutting the transmission.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Viceroy's Palace, Living Room

2:00 PM, Wednesday
Hours later, Lelouch went to the Viceroy's Palace where he sent Nunnally for her own safety. he also sent C.C and Rai to the Bureau to protect Nunnally from any possible threat just like their sister Carine. When he entered the Palace he made a dash through the long halls until he reached the living room. Opening the door he saw his siblings who were patiently waiting for him. Euphemia upon seeing Lelouch again after seven years of dashed and hugged him tight with her arms.
"Lelouch, you're alive, both of you are truly alive!" Euphemia continued her crying as she tightened her hug on Lelouch. These tears were not the 'tears of pain' she had in the past 7 years. These were the 'tears of joy' which was caused by the return of her two beloved siblings. Lelouch was running out of breath due to her tight hug.
"Okay Euphie that's enough, I know you really missed them. but please don't kill Lelouch with that much joy." Cornelia jokingly said as she smiled.
Euphie immediately let go of her brother, whose arms are on his chest and was heavily breathing after losing nearly all of his breath.
"Welcome back Lelouch, I hope you can tell us many things about your experiences here on Area 11 during Dinner." Odysseus said to his brother.
"Sure, I have a lot of things to tell everyone in the Family, Oddy." Lelouch called his oldest brother by his nickname for the first time since his departure from Britannia to area 11. He also saw his mother from the window holding a soldier helmet and uniform for her disguise.
Area 11, Tokyo Settlement, Ruby Palace, 35th Floor

5:00 PM, Wednesday
Diethard enters his room and walked straight to his bed after locking the door. he dropped his bag on the floor and falls to his bed. He restlessly worked for 10 hours so he can earn 600 Pounds to earn enough money to pay the 15 000 per month rent for his room inside the Ruby Palace.
The Ruby Palace is a 50 story hotel in Area 11. It is known for using rubies as decorations for its walls, floor, furniture and even appliances. It is the most popular hotel chain in the entire Britannian Empire. The current number of people living in the hotel ranges from 1 000-1 500 Britannians.
He grabbed a handheld camera from his pocket and search for the recent videos it recorded. Though he has 50 recorded videos only has truly taken his interest. He selects the video he favoured most and begins to watch it.
"This video will be the greatest issue of the century once i post it." he was planning to upload the video to all social networking sites using an untraceable account that he made using his well developed programming skills.
In the recorded video the Eleventh prince of Britannia, Lelouch vi Britannia and the Heiress of the Ashford House, Grand Duchess Milly Ashford are shown engaging in a passionate lip-lock.
Sorry for the long update guys. I'm having a difficulty in finding a co-writer, so please to any reader PM me if you want to be my co-writer so i can improve and make the chapters longer.
I have a very bad news for those who voted in the poll, I have decided to cancel it because I have thought of a new main love interest for Lelouch. She will be a beautiful 17 year old Japanese girl. She will look like Saki Rukino of the Anime 'Valvrave the Liberator'. Don't worry, this story will still remain as a harem.
