Chapter 17: The Wedding
March 2019
Location: Japan
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
White confetti burst out from their little cannons and champagne bottles emerged opened from the cheering guests celebrating Lelouch and Kallen's wedding at a lovely garden area in a reformed yet better Japan.
Lelouch wore a black tuxedo with a white shirt underneath and dark grey shoes.
Kallen wore a long white coloured wedding dress with slightly translucent ruffled fabric and a secondary layer styled after a princess skirt with several thin glittering folds. Sewn to the right hip was a white fabric folded to resemble a large rose with ruffled tails hanging from it. On her feet were short white heeled shoes with flowers around them. Around her neck was was an intricate blue necklace with small seven diamonds dangling on it. Her red hair was styled down with a semi-transparent white veil with little flower patterns. On her hand was a bouquet of white and purple flowers tied together with a white bow.
Lelouch and Kallen break away from their small yet passionate kiss as cheering from their friends, family members and comrades were heard around them.
After exchanging their vows and rings, the couple then cut their large wedding cake and everyone was having a good time as Diethard recorded the event.
There were also photographers taking photos of the event.
Lloyd and Rakshata were dancing rather clumsily due to both of them being a little drunk while Nunnally spoke to Rivalz, Nina, Shirley and Milly in one of the guest tables.
Shirley wore a cyan dress with thin shoulder straps and fabric in the middle of the chest. Around the navel was a cyan ribbon tied into a long tailed bow on the right hip, while a string of pearls hangs from the sweetheart neckline. On her head was a cyan headband and cyan heels on her feet.
Milly wore an alluring yet form-fitting, layered bluish-teal dress with a gold bracelet around her left wrist and bluish-teal high heels.
Rivalz wore a beige coloured suit with a soft blue tie and dark brown shoes.
Nina wore an apple green dress with a yellow ribbon tied on her head and green heels.
Nunnally wore a soft pink and white frilly dress that was styled with a few dark pink ribbons. Her long sand brown hair had a little matching ribbon on it and short white gloves on her hands. On her legs were white tights with soft pink Mary Jane shoes.
"Man."Rivalz chuckled. "All the good things happen to Lelouch."
"Kallen is sort of like Cinderella."Milly said in amusement. "She was previously a student and secretly a follower of the Black Knights. Now after all the hardships she's been through, she is now married to her masked leader, who all along was her Prince Charming."
Shirley nodded with a bittersweet smile on her face.
"Yeah."Shirley agreed. "Lucky her."
Nunnally smiled at Shirley.
"I'm sure someday you'll find someone wonderful to share your life with, Shirley."Nunnally admitted kindly.
A soft smile formed on Shirley's face.
"Thanks, Nunna."Shirley thanked. "That means a lot."
"Oh, I just remembered something."Nina remarked. "Did you guys know that there's a wedding tradition that says whoever catches the bouquet is supposed to be the one that gets married next? The same thing applies for men when the groom throws the garter."
"Seriously?"Rivalz thought with a hint of excitement and secretly looked at Milly. "In that case…"
Among the guests attending the wedding was Empress Marrybel mel Britannia.
Empress Marrybell wore a long deep red dress with blue in the bodice and puffy sleeves. She had a black crown and a blue ribbon around her neck that resembled a small flower.
Next to the 100th Empress of Britannia was Oldrin.
Oldrin wore an exquisite hot red dress with matching heels and white opera glove.
Then Lila walked over to Empress Marrybell and Oldrin.
"Empress Marrybell."Lila said with a bow.
Lila wore a short pale yellow frilly dress with bows on the straps, white gloves, and pink ballet flats. Her lemon blonde hair was styled in its usual ponytails.
"Your outfit is cute, Princess Lila."Oldrin remarked.
"Thank you, Lady Sabrina."Lila replied with a light smile and looked at Marrybell. "You look beautiful as well, Empress Marrybell."
"You don't need to be so formal with me, Lila."Marrybell chuckled. "We're sisters."
Lila nodded at Marrybell.
"So the younger red haired girl that helped Lelouch and the Black Knights is really his own daughter from the future?"Lila asked.
"Shocking, but true."Marrybell remarked. "But then again after learning about Geass, time travel isn't such a fictional thing anymore. Though it won't be long until we've become officially aunts."
"Aunts."Lila murmured with a smile and thought. "Normal families would usually get excited of having a next generation of their family. Though those things didn't matter to the Britannian Royal Family that much. Not even our father…"
But then a soft yet happy smile sprung on Lila's face.
"Regardless, I'm excited to become an aunt like Sister Marrybell and Sister Nunnally."Lila thought. "And promise to be up to the job."
Jordan and Mei watched Kallen with proud looks, both of them silently wishing Naoto was here to enjoy the moment.
Mei wore a bright orange sakura styled kimono as she wiped away the tears of joy of seeing her daughter married.
"Our little girl is all grown up."Mei sobbed happily.
Jordan wore a maroon noble styled suit as he handed Mei a handkerchief for her to use to wipe away her tears.
"When one's heart is overfilled with joy, some may spill from the eyes."Jordan exclaimed with a smile.
Mei gives a light nod and gentle smile to Jordan.
Sabrina sat next to her future grandparents while eating a Taiyaki Parfait.
The red haired girl wore a pastel purple dress with the top reminiscent of a blouse trim with ruffles and a long ribbon hanging from the back of the navel. Around her neck was a solid black choker with a single rhinestone attached at the center. On her feet were a pair of white purple flats.
Sabrina murmured in delight, enjoying the powdered green tea soft serve ice cream, red beans and shiratama topped with some sweet black sweets in her parfait.
She then stopped eating her treat to look around at the wonderful scene she was taking part in and seeing with her own eyes.
Her future parents' wedding with everyone close to them.
Kaguya walked up to Sabrina.
"Sabrina, are you feeling okay?"Kaguya asked.
Sabrina glanced at the Prime Minster of Japan with a melancholy smile.
"Yes, Lady Kaguya."Sabrina answered and looked back at the scene in front of them. "To be here in this moment…it's like a dream."
"Well, this dream has happened because of you."Kaguya remarked. "You've made it happen."
Sabrina shook her head.
"We've made it happen."Sabrina corrected before changing the subject. "So, how is it going being Prime Minister of Japan?"
"Great."Kaguya replied. "Empress Marrybell has supported my idea and decided to donate money to help rebuilt the areas of the ghettos to make buildings for the poor people to live as well as schools for the children, who didn't have the chance to have an education before."
"That's amazing."Sabrina complemented and her smile vanished. "And how are you holding with 'you know who' behind bars?"
Kaguya's happy smile shrunk knowing Sabrina was talking about Suzaku.
"I'm actually not too surprised if my cousin is behind bars for the rest of his life."Kaguya replied with a sad frown. "It's because of him that Japan surrendered to Britannia after he-"
Kaguya clenched her fist, not wanting to mention Suzaku killing his own father to stop the war.
"I'm not going to look back. There's no point."Kaguya answered and smiled lightly. "All I can do is learn from my uncle and cousin's mistakes. I'll keep moving forward and be a better Prime Minister for Japan to look up to."
Sabrina smiled in approval.
"That's the spirit."Sabrina remarked.
Then Jeremiah stood up from the seat to make a toast with Sayoko and Anya raising their glass cups as well.
"A toast to Lelouch and Kallen Lamperouge."Jeremiah declared while raising his glass of champagne. "May you always be as happy as you are right now."
This caused Sabrina, Nunnally, Kaguya, Xingke, Tianzi, Tohdoh, Chiba and everyone else to raise their cups as well.
"Here, here."Anya replied.
"Right on!"Tamaki chuckled.
"And may you be blessed with many children."Sayoko added.
"But first I have to come along before that, Auntie Sayoko."Sabrina informed brightly.
This caused a hearty laugh to emerge from the background as both Lelouch and Kallen chuckled lightly while blushing in embarrassment.
Kallen then stood up from her seat, ready to throw her bouquet.
"All right, ladies!"Kallen called out. "Here you go!"
The red haired braid then threw her bouquet high into the air.
Milly, Shirley, Kaguya and Cécile immediately pounced, desperate to catch it.
"Let me have it!"Kaguya insisted.
"No way, Kaguya!"Shirley argued. "I want to be the next one to walk down the aisle!"
"I should have it then!"Cécile stated. "I'm older than any of you!"
"The age 25 is not that old, Miss Cécile!"Milly commented.
"Yes, it is!"Cécile snapped.
The bouquet bounced around in their hands as they fought to grab it until finally, it landed in someone's hands.
However, it wasn't any one of them.
Instead, it ended up in the hands of Nunnally, who was very surprised, much to the dismay of the four.
"Would you look at that!"Gino sneered. "Nunnally is going to be a bride someday!"
Rivalz glanced at Lelouch.
"Hey, Lelouch!"Rivalz called out. "Does that mean you allow her to have a relationship now?"
"As if I'll let that happen!"Lelouch scowled angrily.
"I guess now it's your turn to throw the garter, Lelouch."Sabrina insisted.
"Right."Lelouch said bluntly and held up his garter. "Catch!"
Lelouch threw the garter, making it soar high into the air.
Rivalz, Gino, Tamaki and the other men desperately tried to catch it, but it went right past them.
"If I can catch that garter, I'll be able to get married to Milly someday!"Rivalz commented. "Yes! I'm gonna catch that garter for sure!"
"Keep dreaming, Rivalz!"Gino insisted. "I need to be healed from my heartbreak over losing Kallen!"
The garter flew right above the guys, heading straight towards an unexpected target.
It came falling right on top of Leonhardt's head.
All the guys and the girls stared in surprise while Leonhardt took the garter off his head.
When Leonhardt saw the garter, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Huh?"Leonhardt said in confusion.
"Hey, check it out!"Oldrin chuckled. "Looks like you're gonna get married someday too, Leonhardt, and Princess Nunnally's gonna be your bride!"
Leonhardt and Nunnally looked at each other and then chuckled, blushing a bit from embarrassment.
"Oi! That's not fair!"Sokkia snapped. "I'm Leonhardt's girlfriend!"
Both Tamaki and Gino wined in annoyance that neither of them caught the garter.
Rivalz dropped on his knees to cry hysterically since he wanted to catch the garter to get the chance to marry Milly.
Sabrina covered her mouth to mute her laughter at the funny scene she was seeing.
C.C smirked smugly as she sat in a nearby sofa, eating a pizza slice from Pizza Hut delivery box.
The Immortal Witch wore a mint green mini qípáo with a black boa, the cut of the neckline showing off her well-endowed breasts quite a bit, black tights and mint green flat heels. Her lime green had a pink lotus flower clip with small yellow beads dangling from it.
"They're so helpless."C.C sneered.
Lelouch sighed with an annoyed look as he sat back on his seat.
"I regret throwing that garter."Lelouch grumbled.
"Don't be such a downer, Lelouch."Kallen remarked and ate a piece from her slice of the wedding cake. "It's still a long journey for Nunnally from engagement ring to the altar."
Lelouch then gives Kallen a smug smile.
"I swear to you that whatever may come, I'll stand by your side."Lelouch vowed. "And I'll continue you loving you for the rest of my life."
"I'll stand by your side as well."Kallen admitted. "For as long as I live."
"I love you, Kallen."Lelouch declared.
"I love you, Lelouch."Kallen replied.
Lelouch and Kallen share a kiss causing everyone to cheer and clap at them once more.
The two of them were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
Forever.
Blissfully together for eternity.
In Pendragon…
In her bedroom, Euphemia smiled as she watched the wedding footage of Lelouch and Kallen on a laptop.
The former princess smiled as she watched the wonderful scene on the screen.
The world was now in the beginning of a wonderful era in peace.
But this time it had the real criminals behind bars.
And all of this mainly happened because of Lelouch, Sabrina and the Black Knights.
As for her?
She was alive, but starting her new life as an ordinary girl and attending Ashford Academy with her favourite siblings. Also, had already group of admirers following her.
There was a knock on the door and Cornelia came into the room.
Cornelia wore a semi-revealing off-white top with a dark grey skirt that appeared shorter in a diagonal shape in front. She also wore plain black heels with stockings half-composed of fish-netting while the top part was diamond shaped.
"Hello, Euphie."Cornelia greeted as she placed the tea set she held on the table. "I've brought tea."
"Thank you, Cornelia."Euphemia answered.
Cornelia sat next to Euphemia as the two of them watched the wedding footage together.
"It's Lelouch and Kallen's wedding footage?"Cornelia asked with a smile.
"Yes."Euphemia giggled. "Mr Reid was kind enough to send us the footage."
Cornelia watched in silent at seeing Lelouch and Nunnally enjoying themselves with their allies. Mostly, their friends from Ashford Academy and…Sabrina.
"We're going to start all over again."Cornelia admitted with a soft solemnly tone. "This time we'll make Britannia a better nation…together."
Euphemia glanced at Cornelia and was surprised by her declaration.
"Are you sure, sister?"Euphemia asked. "What happened to 'discrimination against the Numbers is our national policy'?"
The purple haired lady felt a bit uneasy of hearing the sentence she said during her and Euphemia's argument over choosing Kururugi as her knight, when she still followed her father's belief.
She didn't want to follow her father's beliefs anymore.
Never again.
Not after what had happened…and everything she learned.
About her father, V.V and Lady Marianne's true intention to make a world which was only suitable for themselves.
Her father didn't even believed in the ideology he created and used to enforce on his own family with ruthless efficiency.
Nunnally being blinded and crippled for the sake of a lie.
Schneizel taking the throne to discipline all of man kind for his twisted desire. Using people as pawns in a game and discard them. Even if they were his own family members.
Marrybell's happy life changed when V.V visited with a present which was the very bomb that killed her mother, Lady Flora and younger sister, Julia. Though Marrybell survived, that horrible experience gave shape to the leader of the Glinda Knights' wish to previously rid the world of terrorism.
But now with her as the new ruler of Britannia, Marrybell vowed to make Britannia a better nation and ruler for their people to look up to. Also, avoid being like their father and Schneizel.
Yet Cornelia found it still upsetting of finding out what kind of woman, Marianne the Flash really was.
She admired her as well as looked up to her.
But that honestly didn't matter to Marianne.
Now the purple haired lady felt regretful for not being a good sister Euphemia and putting her life in danger which would've been avoided if she made her younger sister's safety her first priority before anything.
However, Euphemia was now back in her life and good name was restored because of Lelouch and Sabrina.
She was wrong about everything.
Cornelia now also regretted in her hatred towards Lelouch and wanting him dead for all the sins he committed.
But who is she to judge him?
She killed people and innocent civilians like the rest of their family members did.
That's how it always been like.
That was how their 'family' did for a living.
Though all the destruction and deaths were based on lies and selfish desires of Emperor Charles, V.V and Marianne.
Lelouch may have caused the rebellion to get revenge and destroy Britannia, but Sabrina changed all that and what was to come.
She saved her future father from being seen as the biggest tyrant that the word had ever seen…and the rest of the Britannian family members as well as everyone in Pendragon from being wiped out by the F.L.E.I.J.A.
Sabrina gave them all a second chance to live, but it was obvious she wouldn't forgive any of them for the pain and humiliation she suffered in the corrupted future.
However, Cornelia was willing to change that.
If Marrybell wanted to make a difference, she should try to do the same too.
But not without Euphemia and Lila's help.
It won't be easy, but they should at least try.
"Cornelia?"Euphemia asked.
Cornelia gently smiled and touched Euphemia's cheek.
"It's time for us to follow a new path, Euphie."Cornelia replied in a firm look. "But this time I'll listen what you have to say and offer your advice."
"Thank you, Cornelia."Euphemia thanked gratefully.
The li sisters smiled at each other before they started drinking their cups of tea together.
A Week Later…
In Ashford Academy, it was time for everyone to say goodbye to Sabrina.
Sabrina wore a white orange shirt with a pink vest, khaki skirt, a black wristband and a pair of white socks with navy blue sneakers. On her back was her dark brown backpack.
The red haired girl smiled at Empress Marrybell, Oldrin, Sayoko, Jeremiah, Anya, Milly, Shirley, Rivalz and Nina.
"Thank you for everything, everyone."Sabrina thanked. "I'll never forget what you've done for me."
"We should be the ones telling you that, Sabrina."Marrybell admitted and her smile saddened a bit. "I suppose this is goodbye for now. Take good care of yourself."
"You too, Aunt Marrybell."Sabrina responded. "And thank you for your support during the battle to save the world."
"The Glinda Knights were mainly an anti-terrorism search-and-destroy armor unit within the Britannian Military."Oldrin exclaimed. "But we're willing to change that."
Milly, Shirley, Rivalz and Nina smiled at Sabrina.
"Be sure to give our best to ourselves of the future."Milly insisted.
"I will, Milly."Sabrina answered.
"Feel free to stop by back here anytime."Rivalz insisted.
"We'll look forward to throw you a welcome party."Shirley admitted.
"Thanks, Shirley."Sabrina replied and glanced at Nina. "Nina?"
Nina bowed at Sabrina.
"Thank you for giving us all a chance to live a better future, Sabrina."Nina answered with a hint of guilt. "Though I know you won't forgive me for making those monstrosities that Schneizel used and nearly succeeded to destroy the world."
Sabrina gives Nina a slight nod.
"You are an intelligent girl, Nina."Sabrina complemented. "I'm sure this time in the future, you'll be able to make something created for real world peace instead of destruction."
"Thanks."Nina thanked gratefully.
Jeremiah smiled at Sabrina.
"Best of luck in your time in the outside world, Lady Sabrina."Jeremiah declared. "Be sure not to fail in your studies."
"Yeah, right. As if, Uncle Jeremiah."Sabrina sneered. "You know I won't."
"Make sure to keep up developing your skills using a Knightmare."Anya insisted. "I would like to challenge you someday."
"That would be awesome, Anya."Sabrina commented.
Sabrina then looked to Lelouch, Kallen and Nunnally.
The four of them had been quiet as they stared at each other.
Nunnally then held her brother's hand gently.
"Go on, big brother."Nunnally insisted. "You know you have to."
Lelouch nodded before walking up to Sabrina and embracing her, making her return the hug.
"There is many things I want to say to you to, Sabrina."Lelouch stated with a bittersweet smile. "But the first one is…thank you for all that you've done. You truly are an unexpected yet miraculous saviour."
Sabrina smiled as tears began to form in her beautiful purple eyes.
"Thanks…daddy."Sabrina whispered.
Lelouch looked at Kallen.
"It's your turn to say goodbye now, Kallen."Lelouch insisted.
Kallen and Sabrina walked towards each other until they stopped just a few feet away from each other.
There was a long silence, neither one of them saying a word.
Kallen then bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears as she embraced Sabrina in a tender hug.
The two stayed like that for a good while, savouring whatever little moment they had left with each other.
Sabrina then pulled away and looked at her future mother with a brave smile as her purple eyes sparkled in admiration.
"Thank you for believing in me...mummy."Sabrina remarked.
Kallen watched as Sabrina stepped away from her.
"Bye, Sabrina."Kallen said with a weak smile.
Sabrina took a couple of steps back to look at the people around her.
"Thank you so much, everyone."Sabrina admitted gratefully.
Then, after giving one last look of her friends and family, Sabrina activated her Geass and disappeared from sight.
"Goodbye, Sabrina."Kallen whispered. "I'll miss you."
Lelouch gave Kallen a reassuring squeeze of her shoulder, comforting her as they, along with everyone else, watched the leaves fall from the trees wishing Sabrina well.
Then fireworks were shot above the blue sky causing everyone's sadness to disappear to admire the sparkling and explosive lights above them.
"The fireworks are so beautiful, Lelouch."Nunnally remarked.
The former Prince of Britannia smiled at his younger sister.
"Yes, they are."Lelouch agreed.
Lelouch glanced at his wife and the people close to them.
"And I did say I would watch fireworks with everyone someday."Lelouch thought.
Sabrina goes back to the future, but this story is far from over.
See you all later in the next chapter!
