Nunnally Vi Britannia, the 100th empress of the Holy Empire of Britannia, was in her bedroom at Aries Imperial Villa lying on her bed just waiting for her time in this world to end. For a long time her strength had been decreasing, that was natural since she was eighty-seven years old, she still ruled at that age it was only a few months ago that her eldest son took her place since she could no longer continue with the heavy weight which entails being the leader of an empire as large as Britannia.

She ruled Britannia with a firm hand, but without being a tyrant, she did everything possible to keep the world at peace and thanks to that the soft world she wanted to see when her brother asked what her wish was, it was no longer a dream. Of course after her brother died there were many obstacles, nobles wanting to regain their power rose against her, the federation of united nations wanted Britannia to pay for all the wars it had caused and that led to the empire going into crisis, it was thanks to her and to zero that Britannia not only remained standing without starting a new war.

Zero, or rather Suzaku, had already died ten years ago. It was a hard for her, although Suzaku had never told her that he was Zero, she always knew it, Suzaku was always there to take care of her just as he did when they were children. She always hated that he had to carry Zero's cloak, that prevented him from being happy, having his own family like the one she had.

Zero's mask was too heavy, too heavy for anyone, Zero was the one they turned to when the situation needed a miracle and Suzaku just like his brother somehow always did a miracle when it was needed.

Nunally knew that there would be no other Zero, there was no other person in the world who could wear that mask and do what was required to be recognized as Zero, only his brother and his best friend were the only ones who could do that role, they were the only ones willing to carry the world on their shoulders.

The good thing was that now the world didn't need Zero and his miracles, the world was at peace and she helped as much as she could so that her brother's sacrifice was not in vain.

Nunally began to remember her whole life, she playing with her sister Euphy in the gardens of Aries Villa, she arguing with Euphy and Milly to see who would marry Lelouch, her Lelouch's chess games with Clovis, which he always won, the games against Schneizel, which he always lost, his mother's beautiful smile.

But not all were good memories, he also remembered the day of the "terrorist attack" that killed his mother, the despair and fear of realizing that he could not see or walk, the relief when she realized that even so Lelouch never abandon her.

Memories of Japan before the invasion, though these were only sounds, smells, and memories of touch.

Everything that happened during the invasion, the helplessness she felt when not being able to help Suzaku and her brother, felt like a burden, but they never abandoned her and kept going even with her delaying them.

Lelouch and Suzaku were amazing, they always overcame what was happening to them and they always came out stronger from the problems they faced, she admire them even now after they had died.

They were the reason why she kept going after Zero Requiem, she didn't want to disappoint her brother or Suzaku who was giving all of himself to act like Zero.

Her memories passed to her family, she had married when she was twenty-five her husband had loved her, she knew it, she also loved him but she even after decades if someone asked her who was the person who loved her most her mind would come to the same conclusion that would have been reached if the little girl playing with her sister in the Aries Villa had been asked.

Nunally had never confessed it to anyone and if she asked it she would always lie, it was a secret that she would take to her grave.

She had a son and a daughter, unlike her father she did not have several consorts, so the succession to the throne was not from blood spilled like her predecessors.

Her eldest son Marcus Vi Britannia was very intelligent, with his brown hair like hers and gray eyes like his father's, he was tall, more than average, and knew how to take advantage of his good looks to get what he wanted, He always liked being the center of attention but without being arrogant, she made sure that it was not so, although he was already a man with a wife and three beautiful children, for her it would always be her little Marcus who liked to sit on her lap and read his favorite books.

Her youngest daughter Shirley Vi Britannia was very energetic, she always reminded her of Euphy when she was that age, she liked to run and play many sports. Shirley had black hair and violet eyes like hers, she was smaller than her brother but she could still consider that was taller than the average, she was a heartbreaker, always likes to talk to her about fashion and stuff. She was a professional athlete, her love for sports took her a contest in several tournaments internationally, 100 meters flat, marathon, fencing, among others. Shirley was amazing it always hurt her to never be able to run along her side or go swimming with her when she was little, that must be why her daughter was always more attached to her father.

"So this is what they mean when they say that life passes through your eyes before you die"- she said to no one specifically

"I'll finally be able to see my brother again" was Nunally's last thought before closing his eyes.

The next day it was announced that The 100th Empress of the Holy Empire of Britannia, Nunally Vi Britannia had passed away.

o-o-o

A ray of sunlight slipped through the curtains right on Nunally's face, she moved on her bed so that the sunlight didn't bother her and she could continue sleeping and everything went according to plan until she heard someone touch the door.

"Wait a minute," he said holding back a sigh of exasperation, she wanted to sleep late even if only for today, the empire was not going to fall if she did that right?

But since she was the empress, she couldn't afford to be untidy, even if she'd just woken up, adjusting her clothes, smoothing her hair a little with her fingers, preparing herself for the maid who always assists her to help her go to bathe and dress.

"You can pass," she replied after at least was sure she could pretend she had been awake for a while.

"Good morning" Nunally's body tensed instantly upon hearing that voice, it was a voice that I had not heard in a long time but could never be able to forget "Sayoko-san is making breakfast so she would ask me to come to …"

The voice trailed off as he looked at Nunally in surprise.

Nunally didn't answer, she just looked at him with wide eyes.

"Le-Lelouch?" Whisper trying to understand what was happening in front of her.

Lelouch came out of her stupor and quickly approached her and hugged her tightly.

Nunally did not move, even obtained in shock, then began to notice the bedroom she was in, it was not his broom in Aedries Villa, it was a bedroom she had never seen but knew was her, it was her room when she was at Ashford Academy.

Thousands of questions went through the mind of the empress and thousands of answers to those questions and the answer that made the most sense was the simplest, she was dreaming.

"Nunally, your eyes!" Lelouch released her and stepped in front of her and practically screamed. Well this is too much real to be a dream.

A few seconds later Sayoko was at the door with a menacing look and a kitchen knife in one hand and a kunai in the other, causing Lelouch to move away when he saw that the maid was looking at him and could ask if he was hurting his sister.

"Sayoko-san?" Nunally said looking at the maiden who had taken care of most of her childhood.

"Nunally-sama!" Sayoko exclaimed when she saw her, she was so surprised that she even dropped the knife and the kunai she had in her hands.

Nunally looked at Sayoko-san and noticed that she was younger than she remembered. The Sayoko-san that she remembered was much older and did not live with her but with Jeremiah Gotwald and Anya in an orange farm, of course they visited a Nunally from time to time but this was not that Sayoko-san that she remembered.

"Where I am?" The question came out as a whisper from her lips and she was surprised that her voice sounded softer and younger, so she turned her gaze from the maid to see her body and was surprised to notice that her skin was not wrinkled and apparently that her body It had shrunk a few inches.

"You are in the student council house, Nunally" Lelouch said as he took her hand gently "Can you see well? I thought your vision had no cure"

Now the hundredth empress of Brittany was confused, her brother knew that her vision was a cause of her father's geass and not a disease.

She looked to the left and then to the right, ironically her vision was perfect until the day of her death, it seemed that someone wanted to compensate her for not having been able to see most of her childhood, and everything that was recorded in her memory In her bedroom.

Then she returned her gaze to Lelouch and could not contain the tears, his black hair, his aristocratic features that seemed to drive the Ashford students crazy, and the most beautiful, in her humble opinion as empress of the strongest empire in the history of humanity, his violet eyes so similar to hers, here was her brother, the one she loved and wanted so much to see before the Requiem Zero began.

She simply released his hold on her brother and grabbed him from his uniform and made him fall into bed with her and hugged him tightly as tears traveled nonstop down his cheeks.

After that Nunally calmed down and started thinking about what she should do from now on, she knew very well that this was not a dream.

Sayoko-san left and gave the brothers their space, while Lelouch was excited because his sister could see again, after getting ready the two went down to breakfast, it was one the best breakfast she had in the life, Lelouch was there and there was no nothing to worry about, he was not Zero or the demon emperor, she was not the empress of Britannia, was what she had dreamed of many times.

Nunally decided not to say anything to her brother and Sayoko-san that she had memories of what the future might be, she didn't want to ruin whatever had happened to her that allowed to see her brother again.

The two of them missed school that day, the two brothers and Sayoko-san, who went with them at Nunally's insistence, discussed trivial things while strolling around Ashford Academy.

It was a dream day for Nunally, but every dream can turn into a nightmare.

The next day Nunally attended classes as usual, with a little shock at having regained her vision, as a consummate policy that was when Britannia ruled she lied saying that she had been undergoing treatment for a long time and that now it was giving results.

It was then that he heard Clovis' voice in a transmission that one of his classmates was watching on his cell phone, saying something about the terrorists having attacked a pharmaceutical complex in Osaka. At that moment a specific memory came to her mind and she blanched.

Without paying attention to anything else, she left class as fast as she could, outside of the classroom was Sayoko-san waiting for her, who when seeing her so restless worried.

"Did something happen, Nunally-sama?" The maid asked politely.

"I need to speak to Onii-sama," she replied quickly.

"I'm sorry to tell you that Lelouch-sama is not at the academy right now, he went out with his student council friend a few hours ago" Nunally had to remember that Sayoko-san was not just a Maid, she also came from a family that She had raised shinobi for many generations, of course she would know where the people she has to protect are.

"But if it's so urgent" Sayoko-san handed her a phone.

She quickly dialed her brother's number and waited but he did not answer and always sent it to the mailbox, she already knew what that meant.

Lelouch was already in the middle of Shinjuku.

The day passed normally until night, she did not have to worry about her brother, Lelouch would get out of this and return to Ashford Academy.

While he was waiting Sayoko-san taught him how to make origami, this brought back memories of when this happened for the first time, she also remembered that supposedly if she made a wish for a thousand cranes.

Lelouch was late that night and looked nervous, he had killed Clovis. Nunally didn't speak to him that night.

The next day Lelouch had already gone to class when she woke up, she spent all that day thinking about what she should do or if she should do something, if things continued and she did not intervene Lelouch would die for the peace of the world in a year. She wouldn't allow that to happen, but what should she do, who should she talk to.

She thought about talking to Lelouch but her brother has a great hatred for Britannia at this time, even if he doesn't show it.

Nunnally did not want to destroy Britannia, he knew that the empire could change forever, it just needed someone to guide it in that direction.

She did not want her brother to take Zero's mantle again, she had to stop him and she knew how to do it, she just had to tell him that she knew that he had killed Clovis but that it didn't matter and that she still loved him, but her brother still kept great grudge for Britannia who had not investigated her mother's death.

"Aaah, this becomes more difficult" sighed the ex-empress "If I tell you everything Onii-sama will ask how I know that and I'm not sure if he believe me when I tell that somehow I have memories of the future"

But she had to act, she would do what was possible so that Zero was not necessary, it was a difficult path but she would do it, the first time her brother gave everything so that she lived in a world in peace this time it was her turn to do something so that his brother could live in peace.

Suzaku would support her better at this time more agreed with her idea than her brother.

"Suzaku!" she was surprised that had forgotten, and then growled in exasperation.

Since she had forgotten Suzaku, he was arrested on suspicion of murdering Clovis, just when she decided to make Zero unnecessary, then she needed it to save Suzaku. Right now she didn't have the power or the influences to save him, she needed Zero.

"Why will Lelouch and Suzaku get in so much trouble?" she thought with amusement, but after this she would make Zero unnecessary.

She was not a genius like her brother, but she had something that Lelouch does not have now, experience, she directed for more than fifty years the most powerful empire in the world without causing it to go back to war with other nations, juggling between the politics, economy and military force. Nunally knew she could make a big change with just a few important actions on his part, plus her memories of the future were an impressive advantage.

She devised various plans in her head.
