Imperial Palace complex, Neo-Pendragon, Holy Empire of Britannia
- This is a BBC World report. In the latest news from South America, Independent Andean Confederation claims another victory against the Republic of South America. Viceroy Villetta Nu denies allegations from President Theseus Jurgenon that the Holy Empire of Britannia is assisting the Andeans. The Viceroy reminds the president that the Emperor continues to claim the entirety of South America for the Empire. Meanwhile the Andeans declare the occupation of several gold and silver mines by both parties to be illegal acts under the Paris Compact. It also declares the Empire's treatment of its prisoners as violating the Geneva Convention. Although denying both claims, Viceroy Nu reiterates the Emperor's position that the Empire is not subject to either agreement. The Viceroy also reminds the Andeans of the Empire's territorial claims.
In Asia the Tibetan rebels have suffered another setback against Imperial forces. Viceroy Maribelle mel Britannia has stated that the terrorists will be eliminated so that good citizens can return to their peaceful lives. The Tianzi maintains that Tibet has been part of the Chinese homeland for centuries. The Emperor supports this claim and warns the Tibetan rebels that their acts of terrorism will be force retribution from Imperial forces.
The Kazakhstan rebels have suffered a major setback with the refusal of recognition from the Empire or the Middle East Federation. Viceroy of Area Eight Nunnally Kururugi has stated that rebels of any sort will not be tolerated. The Viceroy has also stated that the Empire will do what it can to assist the EU in putting down the rebels.
Meanwhile with the increase of piracy in the Indian Ocean the Ministry of War and Defense has increased naval and air patrols around the world to better protect Imperial citizens. It also encourages retired Imperial military personnel to return to service as part of the Imperial Auxiliary Service. Leading the charge are former Knights of the Round Dorothea Ernst and Nonette Enngream.
Now in news closer to home. The technology sector is on the rise once more. All this despite the recent death of Lord Gordon Baxter, the owner of several large sakuradite mines. Leading experts to believe…-
Layla Makal turns off the television. If she wants news from the Britannia homeland, all she has to do is look out the window or ask Lelouch what he plans on doing next. For the past six years, the world has enjoyed relative peace. While there are several minor skirmishes or rebellions, there is nothing going on between the major powers. Layla looks in the closet for something to wear. In the back of her closet she sees her military uniform. She still uses it on some official functions. However since her mission requires her to seduce Lelouch, her uniform does not work most of the time.
"Lady Makal, I am here to inform you that little Chandler is awake."
"Thank you, Mary. I will be there as soon as I am dressed."
Layla selects something to casual to wear. Milly is having a small family picnic, and Layla and her son are invited. After getting dressed, Layla goes for her two year old son. The maids have already dressed him for the picnic. Waiting at the front door for Layla and Chandler are two of Lelouch's friends, Wiggins and Carter. Layla has seen many military personnel over the years, and all of Lelouch's West Point friends have a certain look in their eyes. Layla wonders how good they would be if allowed to go all out.
"Your vehicle is ready, Lady Makal," Wiggins states, "We have secured the route."
"Thank Andrew. Are you and Julius staying for the picnic?"
"We will be in the area."
"I understand," Layla says as she sets Chandler inside the car.
Samantha ru Britannia is preparing her daughter Abigail for the royal family picnic. After her divorce she takes Lelouch's advice and gets friendly with someone that someone being Lelouch. Samantha is much too proper to simply take on a lover. Since she is to be married to Lelouch, then she makes sure that it is a reality rather than just a marriage of convenience. Her father is not very convinced about the situation, but Samantha getting pregnant a few months into the union solves that problem. With the recent death of her father, his many mines are being fought over by several relatives. Since Samantha is the baby out of seven children, she does not have to worry about inheriting much. Not that it matters since she is now the Emperor's wife.
"Chelsea, help the maids with your brother and sister. I have to finish Abigail's hair."
"Yes, mother."
Like most teenagers, Chelsea is going through a fit of defiance. It helps that Lelouch is a much more disciplined father than Cassius ever was. Many will consider this difficult since he has so many children from so many different women. However today Chelsea appears to be in a good mood.
"Mother, you remember that I mentioned having my own escort to the picnic."
"Of course dear. Lelouch sent me the information last night."
Another issue that comes out of having a teenage daughter is boys. Luckily Chelsea does not to be the sort of girl who would sneak off with a boy. She seems to know what her position entitles. There is another reason why Samantha decides to take Lelouch's offer. If Lelouch does not want her, perhaps he might want one of her daughters. Some might consider it eerie to marry your half-niece, but this is the Britannian royal family after all. Lelouch has already married four of his half-sisters and married two women formerly married to one of his half-brothers. Then there is the age gap, but Lelouch has already broken that in the other direction. Several of his wives are over five years older than him. It is certainly not uncommon for a man to marry a women several years his junior. In fact Lelouch's parents are almost twenty years apart.
Samantha sighs as her inane thoughts. She continues fixing Abigail's hair.
"All finished,' Samantha comments.
Abigail turns to face a mirror.
"It looks pretty, momma," Abigail states, "Do you think Daddy Lelouch will like it?"
"I am sure that he will, sweetheart. Now go wait by the door. The car will be here for us soon."
"Mom, my ride is here," Chelsea remarks.
Samantha walks over to the door to meet with her daughter's escort. Standing by the door is an older blonde teenage boy. He has the same sort of look that Samantha's bodyguards have. That weary unwavering look that experienced military men have. Of course it looks different in this young package.
"Your highness, I am here to escort the princess to the royal family picnic," James Longstreet VI states.
"The Emperor informed me last night. Are others traveling with you?"
"Yes your highness, her highness Princess Evelyn and others are traveling with us as well."
"Are you satisfied mother?" Chelsea asks, "It's just my friends."
Samantha grins, "It is my job as a mother to make sure that my daughter is in proper company. I will be leaving in a few minutes as well."
"Your highness, I have been instructed to take Princess Abigail if she is ready to go," Longstreet states.
"Oh well, isn't that nice," Samantha remarks, "She is ready. I will get her for you."
A few minutes later Chelsea and Abigail are in the car. The others are fawning over the younger princess.
"Jinta, isn't she the cutest thing ever," Evelyn comments.
Jinta grunts in response. Chelsea supports his opinion.
"Jinta is just mad because he is the baby of his family, and he does not like other kids to get in the way," Evelyn says causing the others to laugh.
James kou Britannia finds a nice quiet place to hide. Normally his days are spent with his half-siblings Gabriel, Charles, Elizabeth, and Charlotte. Being the oldest of his father's children they have a slight connection. Until recently James was the only one without a little sibling. This meant that he spends lots of time with the twins or his parents. Now there are lots of other kids. Not only other half-siblings, there are now adopted siblings and cousins. There are also lots of kids that are neither but are still around. James is lucky that he spends most of his time with his parents traveling around the Empire so he does not have to deal with any of these other kids. However there are days like today when everyone gathers.
James leans against a small tree hoping that no one sees him. However hanging upside down from the tree is the most powerful man in the world holding a little girl that James does not recognize. Lelouch holds the girl in front of James.
"Hello James-nii," the little girl states, "What doing?"
"Father, I am sure that I could not recall all my sisters, but I am certain that is not one of them."
"Of course this isn't one of your sisters," Lelouch states stilling hanging upside down, "This is Kagome Future Kickass Ninja Gottwald."
"Ass ninja," Kagome remarks.
"Don't say that out loud, you will get me in trouble. It's a good thing that your parents are still fawning over little Sango so they didn't notice me sneaking off with you."
James hears some noise.
"Father, I think they noticed you."
Lelouch sets Kagome down.
"Here take a nap with James," Lelouch says as he leaps away.
James sets Kagome on his lap.
"Here little ninja, want to read a knightmare manual?"
Kagome nods and points at the pictures.
Kallen is looking for her son. Lately he has been sneaking off to read knightmare manuals. At nine years old, Kallen wishes that he would have a different hobby. She supposes that it is in his blood. Still at some point he will have to marry someone connected to the royal court. If he keeps isolating himself, the good opportunities will end. She finds him sitting by a tree reading a knightmare manual, but he is not alone because a little girl is with him. She seems to be excited about the manual as well.
"Hello sweetheart, who is this little girl?" Kallen asks.
"According to dad, she is Kagome Future Kickass Ninja Gottwald," James replies.
"Kicking ninja!" Kagome screams. This time she stands and kicks away.
"I see," Kallen remarks as she looks down at Jeremiah and Sayoko's daughter, "Hey sweetie, do you want to go inside with kaa-chan?" Kallen asks Kagome.
Kagome shakes her head.
"Looking at mares with James-nii."
"Okay, I will come back to check on you later," Kallen says as she walks away. She hopes that James will be this nice with his own little sister.
Later that night Jeremiah is rushing around the palace.
"Can I help you with something, Jeremiah?" Kallen asks.
"Your highness, have you seen my daughter?" Jeremiah asks as he gasps for air.
"She was watching videos with James a few minutes ago."
Jeremiah rushes to the video room. Kallen hears giggling.
"Tou-chan looks funny," Kagome says.
"Look here is the part where my dad slices the other guys up," James comments.
Kagome turns her attention away from her father and back to the monitor. Jeremiah collapses from exhaustion. Kallen glares at Lelouch.
"Did you ask permission to take Kagome?"
"Why would I? I am the emperor. I can do whatever I want," Lelouch replies earning a slap from Kallen.
"You're an idiot."
"But they make a good couple, don't they?"
Kallen squints her eyes and twists her mouth in confusion.
"My little boy is only nine years old, and Kagome is only three."
"Well you have to pick early. I can't have little James' potential ruined by marrying Shirley's (may she in rest peace) daughter. That little momma's boy, Gabriel, can have her."
"Gabriel is your son," Kallen responds, "In fact named him your heir as emperor."
"Yes, but I bequeath my kickass knightmare abilities to my little James."
"What do I get, daddy?" Charlotte ash Britannia asks.
"You get your mother's craziness."
"What about me?" Charles Lelouch sfo Britannia asks.
"You get my name, and your mother's land full of moose."
"What about me daddy?" Ethan Dylan vi Britannia asks.
"You get your mother's overprotectiveness of her little siblings."
"Before you continue expounding about your awesome genes, you should help Jeremiah or at least tell Sayoko that you have her daughter," Kallen remarks.
"I sent her a text message earlier," Lelouch replies, "Now, where was I?"
"You were pontificating about the greatness of your genes."
"Your brother is so funny," Chelsea states.
Evelyn frowns, "I guess he is, but you really don't want to know what they are doing."
Evelyn's friends look confused.
"What are they doing?" Hoshi Inoue inquires.
"It's foreplay," CC answers, "It is their weird way to get started."
Evelyn and her friends turn redder than Kallen's hair.
"What's foreplay?" Abigail ru Britannia asks.
Before CC can answer, something hits her on the head.
"Hey, no talking dirty to the kids, you green haired witch!" Lelouch yells out.
Abigail's face beams, and she asks, "Are you really a witch?"
"Maybe," CC replies as she searches for pizza.
"She smells nice, but it is making me hungry," Abigail states.
"Just go over to Daddy Lelouch and ask him for some food," Chelsea states.
"Okay," Abigail says as she skips towards Lelouch.
"Did you forget about the foreplay?" Hoshi asks, "What if he is already, you know?"
Chelsea gasps as Lelouch sets Abigail on his lap and orders her some food.
"Was she kidding about the foreplay?" Chelsea asks.
"No, she knows what she is talking about," Evelyn replies, "We should get something to eat. All this talking made horny, I mean hungry."
Lelouch turns and glares at Jinta. Abigail does the same. Lelouch whispers something into Abigail's ear.
"Stay away from Auntie Evelyn, you dirty Jap," Abigail says, "Daddy Lelouch, what's a dirty Jap?" she asks turning towards Lelouch.
Lelouch points at Jinta. This earns hit a smack on the head from Ayame.
"Do not be teaching this child that sort of thing, and leave my little brother alone."
"I will after he leaves my little sister alone."
"You're an idiot. You let them get married last month."
"That's what everyone claims, but I think it was that Lelouch clone that Cecile made so I can skip out on family events," Lelouch covers his mouth, "I think I said too much."
"You're funny, Daddy Lelouch," Abigail remarks.
"Hey no nogging daddy. It's my turn!" Mariko vi Britannia cries out.
Ayame sets her daughter on Lelouch's lap. Lelouch slides Abigail over.
Later that night Lelouch's bed is a tangled mess as several his children and non-children, as he likes to call the adopted ones, have sleepover in his room.
February 2, Area 8
Nunnally and Suzaku are in Rasht near the border with Turkey. Due to the final negotiations with the EU, Area Eight loses some territory in the northwest but gains some in the northeast. While this hands a potential hornet's nest to Turkey and the Middle East Federation, it hands Nunnally an even bigger problem with the EU. Nunnally is not sure that it is such a good idea to take so much of southern Kazakhstan because of the rebels claiming independence in the northern part.
Nunnally turns north to face the Caspian Sea. While Britannia controls the east and southeast, the rest of the planet's largest lake is disputed. Nominally the EU and Turkey would control the rest, but several rebel groups and pirates have made things interesting. One would think that Turkey would just leave its new eastern territory alone. However the region is full of oil and natural gas, and recent studies have indicated that there are also decent sized sakuradite mines. Since Britannia controls Japan and its massive sakuradite mines, there is little need to argue about the ones here. Of course this does not stop others from fighting over the resources.
"Big brother, gave us an interesting area to work with," Nunnally remarks.
"Are you going to ask for any help?" Suzaku inquires.
"Alice and Dalque are coming over," Nunnally answers, "I think that should be enough."
"Your highness, Dr. Asplund has arrived in Tehran. His airship is preparing to dock."
"We will be heading there as well," Nunnally replies.
Lloyd is coming to make adjustments to their knightmares and to build several new knightmares to use in the area.
"Nunners, are you sure that it is a good idea to bring Musu-chan and Kyo-chan with us?" Suzaku asks. He is not afraid to take a mission in a possibly volatile area, but bringing his children is another matter.
"It doesn't have to be a permanent move," Nunnally replies, "For now I think it is important that we look like a family."
Suzaku nods at Nunnally's answer. Recently Lelouch's influence and mindset has been visible in Nunnally's actions. She rarely acts like the impulsive child as she does in the past.
"Come on, Suzu. You are moving like girl."
Suzaku shakes his head and hurries to their airship.
Jamison and Olivia Cardemonde are wandering through the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Despite Theseus' claims of a better South America, regions not directly under the government's control have fallen apart. As they travel through Brazil, they constantly hear rumors of a revolt to separate the area from the Republic of South America. There is still much indecision as to whether to reunite with Britannia or attempt independence. This sort of talk encourages them to continue south.
After spending three years enduring various forms of Britannian torture, they are not in the mood to return to the Imperial fold. Sophie and Miya stay back in Britannia. Perhaps it is for the best since seeing them would remind them of what happened. They spend the last several months trying to put the memories out of their head. They are also certain that someone is following them and doing a poor job of staying hidden.
"I set up a camera last night hoping to catch a glimpse of the creep that is following us," Olivia states.
Jamison stands as is his habit. Despite it being summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, he is also heavily clothed. Even more than the three women, he took getting constantly raped the hardest. Of course that might have been because they dressed him like a women, and it is only men having their way with him.
"What did you find?"
"Let me bring it up."
Both of them gasp at what they see.
"Rivalz!" they both exclaim.
"Yeah, what's up?" Rivalz asks hanging from the window.
Jamison screams and jumps under the bed.
"Did they send you to follow us?" Olivia inquires.
"No, I escaped from the lab they were keeping me in. I took off most of the tracers. I didn't have as many as I thought," Rivalz responds
"How did you find us?"
"That was easy," Rivalz answers holding up a small monitor, "You two have tracers inside your body. You should probably get someone to take them out."
"How are we supposed to do that?"
Rivalz shrugs, "I don't know find a doctor or something. I've been making money doing random tasks as I traveled south. What did you guys do?"
"The emperor was gracious enough to give us a portion of the money he made on us this past three years," Olivia says with contempt, "It won't do us much good if there is a revolt against the government here."
"I thought I was the stupid one," Rivalz remarks, "Can't you see that it is all a plan by Britannia? All these little revolts give him an excuse to come in and end the fighting. Hard Britannian currency is the only thing that will be worth anything."
Olivia wishes that it would all end soon so they could have some semblance of a normal life. She knows that things will never be the same, but she hopes that they can have some peace. Olivia looks at her brother still cowering under the bed as Rivalz tries to pull him out. For Jamison, things will never be normal again. Olivia finds it repulsive that she requires physical attention from someone. Since their release, Olivia has been using her brother to get what she wants. She knows that this only worsens his condition, but she needs it to remain strong for both of them.
Jamison runs past Rivalz into the other room. He locks the door letting Olivia know that there will be no sex tonight. Rivalz sits on the bed making Olivia wonder what he has between his legs. Olivia has never had a high opinion of her cousin. She tries to avenge him more out of a sense of justice than any real familial connection. However for the moment, he may possibly help her in this situation.
Lilicia Gottwald is sitting in a prison in Trondheim, Norway. She certainly does not expect that leaving everything she knows will be easy. She does not leave for revenge, but to provide balance in the world and to her life. She certainly does not expect to be in the clutches of Schniezel el Britannia. She wonders how that man continues to maneuver his way to the top of the European hierarchy. After being interrogated by EU officials and Schniezel and his assistant, she awaits her fate. Of course they do not call it interrogation.
Technically she is not supposed to be here since she immigrates to the supposedly newly independent United Kingdom. Everyone knows that the UK is run by a puppet government; however they do not know that the puppet master is Schniezel. She assumes that Lelouch and the EU must have spies there. She is not quiet sure what sort of geass Schniezel or Kannon may have.
Schniezel and Kannon are observing Lilicia.
"She does not seem to be lying, your highness," Kannon states, "All tests indicate that she is not under the control of any geass. We have made sure of that by activating the geass canceller several times."
"What about her geass?" Schniezel inquires.
"She claims that it gives her the ability to read others' minds. However she also claims that they installed a geass canceller inside of her body. Tests indicate that this may be true. Whatever they placed inside her body is connected to her vital organs so it is impossible to remove."
"How advanced is her geass?"
"I believe that it is at its maximum."
"How can you be certain?" Schniezel asks.
"Taking everything into account, I surmise that initially she uses her geass under orders. After some time, it becomes difficult to not know what others are thinking. As the emperor's assistant, she must encounter many individuals whom she distrusts. Soon the geass becomes uncontrollable meaning that she can only be around code bearers so that other people's thoughts do not flood her mind."
"It creates a dependency."
"Yes, and it would make her useless in many situations. After the geass cancelling implants, she would have to get used to life without geass."
"She must have become enamored with Lelouch who would view her as a little sister," Schniezel sighs, "Release her into our custody and return her back to London. There we will be able to keep an eye on her."
Kannon nods and begins to do as Schniezel instructs. Because Schniezel's geass still controls many of the EU leaders, he is able to secretly control several facilities in Scandinavia. He is still at a disadvantage because Kannon is too weak willed to properly use a geass. Kannon is extremely loyal, but he has no desires of his own. Schniezel wonders what exactly Lilicia Gottwald can offer.
February 12, Montevideo, Republic of South America
Salacia and her daughters are sitting alone at their home in Montevideo. After Lelouch's attack on Karine's palace four years ago, both Karine and Salacia make the mistake of sleeping with Paciano. A few days apart about nine months later, Henry le Britannia and Sarah Ravenguard are born. At first Karine does not mind the situation, however soon it is obvious that Salacia is a much better mother. Sarah begins walking a few months ahead of Henry. At two years Sarah speaks in an understandable manner and her vocabulary increases daily. Nothing that Karine does, makes her son any smarter. Salacia finds out that Karine hires varieties of nannies and tutors. It is a little comical that Karine is already putting so much pressure on her twenty-eight month old son.
Salacia has been living in semi-exile in South America for almost a year. During her time here she begins an affair with Theseus. Nine months after that she gives birth to Esmeralda Ravenguard. Since Theseus marries a local woman in an attempt to gain support, Salacia is relegated to being a mistress. She decides to focus on her work. A part of her regrets not following Schniezel because there are rumors that he is gaining influence in the EU again especially in the north.
"Lady Ravenguard, our guests have been thoroughly checked. The results do not show any remaining transmitters in their bodies. They will be monitored for a few more days before they begin their training."
Salacia nods, "Thank you. Keep me informed."
Salacia returns t o her paperwork. She certainly does not expect to find Olivia and Jamison Cardemonde to be alive. Nor does she expect to find their cousin Rivalz (who is supposed to be dead) to be a fully functioning complete cyborg. Even with a much more advanced body than Conrad had, this Rivalz person is not much of anything. However Olivia shows potential to be a good knightmare pilot. Whatever Lelouch does to them, screws up Jamison beyond recognition.
Salacia is able to bring the brilliant Mariel Lubie with her to South America. With constant fighting with the Independent Andean Confederation, knightmare production has been increased. Mariel is here to possibly personalize knightmares. Obviously Salacia is here because she is the best strategists in the South American-African Alliance. With recent events that alliance may soon include the EU in a large anti-Lelouch alliance. Of course now that Salacia is a mother, she has other concerns.
Kenta Inoue has been sitting in a cell in Kirkwall which is located in an island group just north of Great Britain. Despite traveling with Lilicia Gottwald to London, they are separated. It has been almost two weeks since their arrival. Kenta understands why they take Lilicia away for question since she is one of Lelouch's assistants, but Kenta is simply the younger brother of one of Lelouch's lovers and not a real important one. Kenta loves his older sister, Naomi, but he does not understand why she shameless becomes one of Lelouch's lovers. Now there are even rumors that Kenta's younger sister Miyako will also become one of Lelouch's lovers.
Suddenly Kenta's door opens, and a voice instructs him to exit the room. Kenta cautiously walks out of the room. Lilicia is waiting for him outside.
"Let's go. They are waiting for us in London," Lilicia states.
Kenta nods and follows her. He wonders what will happen next.
First Lieutenant William Tecumseh Sherman II is traveling by train from Vladivostok through Harbin to Irkutsk. Because of weather conditions, the safest mode of transportation is traveling by train. Due to his exemplary record as a squad commander and his grades, he expects to receive a much better post. With war possibly breaking out in South America and Africa, he expects to be sent there. He certainly does not expect to be sent to Siberia. Sure there are light skirmishes over the undefined border with the EU, but given the size of the country, war in the area would be insane.
One of Lelouch's most brilliant moves is to conquer Siberia and stay there. The distances involved are tremendous. He certainly does not expect anyone in the EU to be so prideful or insane enough to attack. At least that is his assessment of the situation.
Evelyn and Jinta Futaba are inspecting the recently arriving knightmares. While very few major changes have been made to knightmares in the last few years, several small adaptations have been made. All knightmares and pilots suits are equipped for any weather condition. Knightmares even have systems in place to take care of joints and weapons out in the field.
"Viceroy, the airship carrying the twins will arrive soon," Miyako Inoue states.
"Thank you, Miyako. We will be inside soon," Evelyn replies.
Seeing as Evelyn is now an active viceroy, she gets an assistant. Naturally her assistant is young like her. Like Evelyn and Jinta, Miyako is learning as she goes. Since war is unlikely to break out in Siberia anytime soon, they have time. Still it is important that Evelyn does not look weak to Britannia's enemies. She will have to be vigilant and at least maintain what she controls now.
James Longstreet VI is traveling high above with the twins in their super giant flying lab. He is certainly glad to be away from the Homeland. Over the last four years he engages in a weird relationship with Lilicia Gottwald. Surprisingly they take each other's virginity. He is sure that the relationship has no future, but to have it end with Lilicia defecting is unsettling.
"Lieutenant Longstreet, their highnesses are asking for you," Hoshi Inoue states.
James nods at the Japanese girl that has been assigned to the twins. Sora Cummins and Kosetsu Urabe are also around somewhere providing protection. James is quite glad that it is not Hannah and Chelsea.
"Hey big James, where are you?" Pollux calls out.
James snaps himself out of his daydream and goes down to the knightmare hangar. They are nearing their destination so the twins probably want some sort of knightmare demonstration. James is not surprised to discover that Emily and Miranda are well on their way to becoming great knightmare pilots. It does help that they are engaged to insane knightmare creators.
"Hurry up, big James," Pollux states, "Your friend, Sherman, says that his squad can take you out."
James sighs and looks for his flight suit. Luckily knightmares and pilot suits are equipped for the cold.
"Let's put that brown-nosing bastard in his place," James says as Emily and Miranda cheer.
Author's note: News broadcasts avoiding using Britannia or other national identifying terms like Chinese, Indian, Japanese, etc. They always refer to the Empire or Imperial forces. Areas are referred to by number. Locally they refer to locations by name, for example, Honshu or Kashmir but the larger area by area number.
Milly and Euphie's knightmares are now being used by Alice and Dalque respectively. With the exception of the Titan Mk. VI, knightmares are pretty much the same as they are six years before. They have mostly been working on making small improvements. The issue is not new ideas or adaptations but pilots. Since the end of the Britannian Civil War, all sides have had to develop new knightmare training methods. Now people who are children in 2021 are now teenagers and young adults. A new generation who has grown up in a world of knightmares is ready to step forward. The next few chapters will focus on these people.
Some people may not like this, but Jamison, Olivia, Miya, and Sophie spent three years in forced prostitution for their crimes. Before this Evelyn casts a geass on them. The geass does not allow them to kill anyone unless it is self-defense. It also does not allow them to ask someone to kill them or the others in any fashion. For example they cannot rob a bank with a weapon, and force the police to kill them. They also won't attack someone and hope for retaliation. If they are involved in a situation with an overly aggressive situation, they will apology and run away.
Here is a slight note on cyborgs. Jeremiah looks mostly like his anime self with a few improvements. Older full body cyborgs, like Conrad (may he not rest in peace), look more like Robocop. Their cyborgs parts are visible. Newer cyborgs, like Xingke, are more like the Terminator. Their robotic parts are covered by human skin. In the future cyborgs will be more like Ghost in a Shell. Basically a brain in a humanoid prosthetic body. It will take several decades perhaps a century for these things to be in public use.
At the bottom is a list of all the kids born from the beginning of Rise of the Black Prince until this chapter.

Area Eight includes most of Iran, parts of Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and southern Kazakhstan. Area Nine includes New Zealand and the Southern Pacific Islands. Area Ten includes South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, southern Malawi, and Madagascar.
European Union includes all of continental Europe plus all Mediterranean islands, Kazakhstan, and all of Russia west of Siberia. United Areas of Africa includes everything between the Sahara and Area Ten. Australia includes real world Australia and some Indian Ocean islands. Republic of South America includes southeast Brazil, Paraguay, southeast Bolivia, most of Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands.
These next nations are semi-autonomous. Britannia and the EU have observers in their governments. Turkey includes Anatolia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and northwest Iran. Middle East Federation includes all the territory west of Iran, south of Turkey, and east of Egypt. It also includes the Sinai peninsula. Egypt includes real world Egypt excluding the Sinai peninsula, northern Sudan, and eastern Libya. The North African Republic includes the territory east of Egypt and north of the Sahara. United Kingdom includes all the islands northwest of Europe from the English Channel to Iceland.
Non-recognized republics are self-declared independent nations that are not recognized by Britannia or the EU. In most cases they are forced to engage piracy and banditry to gather funds. The Independent Andean Confederation includes parts of southern Peru, northern Chile, western Bolivia and western Brazil. It is not a unified nation, but a conglomeration of independent city-states. Madagascar includes parts of the island and other islands in the Indian Ocean. Mauritania and Mali is group of West African peoples who declare independence from the UAA. Ethiopia includes scattered territory near the Horn of Africa. Kazakhstan includes small territory in Central Asia. It sees itself as a possible buffer between Britannia/China and the EU.
Below is a list of the children born from a little before the beginning of Rise of the Black Prince until this chapter (2007-2027). In cases where the father is not listed then it is Lelouch. If there is a question mark, then the father does not matter, but it is not Lelouch.
Lelouch has forty-eight children from twenty-three different women. There are also eight children from those women that he has basically adopted. Only Milly and Xianglin have four kids. Milly and Villetta are the only ones with at least three kids that have no twins. Kaguya, Cecile, and Nagisa are the others with three kids. These six women account for forty-two percent of Lelouch's kids.
I know it is a lot of children so there is no need to tell me about it. Over the next few chapters Lelouch will interact with most of his children. I promise it will not be a copout situation where I say Lelouch spends the day with Cecile and her kids or something like that. Also remember that Lelouch and Scooter name most of his kids. This means that most of his kids are named after anime characters.
There are surges in births during times of peace. The biggest examples are 2020 and 2022. Lelouch doesn't have any kids during 2021 because he knows that a war will erupt. Another surge is within a year of the end of last chapter. Throughout the first half of 2024 eleven children are born. If anyone is insane enough to look over the list to think of future pairings, don't other because I already have couples set up.
