A/N: Hello everyone, its been awhile. Sorry about the lack of updates on my other story, "The House of Elros," but I was stuck between college and my job during the school year and the breaks. Also, I had this other idea on Code Geass after the series about what would happen if Lelouch was smarter and actually physically capable in the story. So, I'll try to update this story as well as the other one while I can, hope I do well, and hope you all like it. One more thing, like my first story, this one will have ideas from multiple other fictional sources and will have Lelouch being better but not godlike.

Chapter I – Birth of the Demon of Britannia

December 5th, 1999 a.t.b.

"AHHHH," cried Marianne vi Britannia, Imperial Empress and 5th consort of 98th Emperor Charles zi Britannia, as she was currently in the process of giving birth to her first child in the third floor of the Aries Villa. "I know it hurts, your highness," said the royal nurse as she tried to calm down the empress, "but bear with it just a little longer, I can see the head." And so, Marianne tried her best to bear with the pain wile she was in labor, pushing when the doctors told her to, until finally it ended after her fifth push when they heard a loud cry, "Waahh!" With that loud cry, the pain had ended, and Marianne knew that her first child, her first son, was born. After cutting off the umbilical cord and cleaning the baby off, Marianne demanded the doctors to hand over her son, to which they quickly obeyed. The baby, having not stopped crying since his birth, immediately stopped when he was held in his mother's arms, almost as if he sensed he was being held in his mother's arms.

After the baby stopped crying, Marianne looked over the small child she had just brought into the world. When she looked over him, she saw that he had a small clump of raven-back hair on the top of his head, much similar to his own, but had a rather frail and thin body, more so than other babies she had seen. 'Hmmm,' thought Marianne, 'I'll have to put some meat on those little bones of his.' However, what really caught her attention was his eyes, eyes that shared the same violet color of her beloved's, as they were wide open and staring right into hers with a look of intellect and recognition, as if he somehow knew that she was his mother despite his infant age. 'Just what kind of child have I just given birth to?' However, that train of thought of hers was cut off as she saw those violet eyes of his dart off to the right of her, right where her beloved husband ,98th Emperor Charles zi Britannia, was standing tall in stature and proud in appearance, with the Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein, by his side.

He gave off an aura of unfeeling and uncaring, as if hoping to leave as soon as he could. Most members of the royal court were incompetent and foolish, so he had to return soon lest the said court find some way to ruin his empire through their scheming, whining, and treachery. He learned firsthand what catastrophe their treachery could bring in his childhood during the "Emblem of Blood," which saw the death of nearly all of his family besides him, his brother, and his first children. Thus, he knew that such matters were no joke and that he had to return soon before things become serious. The only reason he came to Aries Villa in the first place was because this was the birth of Marianne's first child. She was a special case, as she was the only wife of his whom he genuinely loved. It caused quite a shock for the members of the Imperial Court when he announced he was going to visit Marianne a she gave birth to her first child. The emperor had stopped visiting the births of his children after the birth of Guinevere de Britannia, and never visited the birth of anymore afterwards, instead choosing to continue on his duties as emperor. It therefore came as a great surprise to the court when they were informed of why he was leaving, the majority of the nobles and royal family members feeling flabbergasted as he took his leave, their minds full of hatred and jealousy for the commoner-born 5th Empress who earned the favoritism of their emperor/husband/father, with only Odysseus, Schneizel, Clovis, and Cornelia holding no ill-will towards her. But Charles thought nothing of them, for they were all either too weak or too cowardly to make a move against him, as he moved on, Bismarck behind him, to see Marianne as she gave birth to his eleventh son.

He would have gone to visit her in any case, as he not only loved Marianne but feared what would happen if he did not show up. She had already threatened and beaten a few nobles who hd insulted her honor and marched her way through the Imperial Court screaming her lungs out when she was only denied a private audience with him. As such, he feared what would happen to him during their next time in private together if he did not show up for the birth of her child. As such, he did the only logical thing his mind could come up with: show up on time no matter what.

And so there he stood, towering over all the others present in the room, staring down upon the little boy being held to his love's chest. He was slightly surprised when the child immediately calmed down and stopped crying when his wife took him in her arms and opened his eyes to show that they were the same color as his own. He was then even more surprised when the child turned his head towards him and looked him straight in the eyes, as if he knew who he was.

After looking at him, he saw as the boy slowly lifted his tiny, frail arms towards his direction and begin to make cooing sounds. "I think he wants you to hold him, Darling," chuckled Marianne, who was also surprised by her son's actions. And so, Charles slowly took the child from his beloved into his arms, being careful not to hurt him, and lifted him to his face, to which the child brought his small hands to. While his child touched his face, Charles looked into those small, violet eyes that matched his own and saw something he did not expect: recognition. It was as if this child knew that he was his father and recognized him as such. This brought surprise to Charles and, dare he say, hope for if this son of his in that he would prove a very capable offspring of his who was worthy of being called his heir. He severely hoped that that hope was not misplaced, as his other offspring were such disappointments with some being kind yet weak, like his first son Odysseus, or the vast majority being vain, spoiled brats, like his first daughter Guinevere, with but a few exceptions, mainly Schneizel and Cornelia. After all, this child was from his beloved Marianne, the strongest, liveliest, and most capable of all his wives, and the child already was showing signs of keen intellect after just recently being born. He quickly, however, put those hopes in the back of his mind, as it was best not to dwell on them and be disappointed later on in life if they were proven to be misplaced. 'Only tie will tell,' he thought, 'we shall see, son, whether or not you are as capable as I hope you are.'

And so, after giving back his beloved their son, and a quick goodbye to her, Charles zi Britannia departed the room back to the royal court with Bismarck in toe.

After her husband departed, Marianne began to examine her newly born son and think about the events that just occurred: the way he became silent after she held him, the manner in which he looked at her and her husband, the way he seemed to instinctively know and recognize both his parents, all of these caused her to feel confused, surprised, and (slightly) unnerving. 'Just what kind of child have I given birth to?' she thought. However, these thoughts left her as she her a soft humming noise and looked at her chest. There, she saw her newborn baby humming while rubbing his head into her chest trying to get comfortable, before going off to sleep. And so, feeling tired and weak as a result of giving birth, Marianne decided to follow her son's lead and daze off to sleep with her baby held gently in her arms, her last thought being of how she felt that her son was going to change the world.

Little did she know just how right her thought process was.

A/N: And there is the first chapter of my new story people! Again, sorry for the delay in updates, but life can get pretty busy for some, and I will try to update both stories to the best of my abilities. Also, just a reminder, I don't own Code Geass, and I cannot affect it in any manner.
