New A/N: So alot of you are most likely seeing this story and wondering "what the hell, isn't this an old story?" and that is correct! This was a story I dabbled in a few months ago, but deleted because...Well because If I'm being honest, got tired of certain people(Not everyone) telling me what to do every chapter, bugging me non-stop, and getting mad cause I did this/Didn't do this.
So let me be clear off the bat...If you don't like something, anything at all...Either ignore it or stop reading. I will not put up with people telling me how to write/what to do. If you want something down your way, go write your own story.
Im sorry if I sound like a bitch, and look I will take constructive criticism, such as spelling or messing up Canon Details(Like stuff that actually happened in the show) but Im not going to give you the time of day if you hate with what I do with the fanon stuff in the story.
Next I do want to say that this is a harem story, however there will be many girls Lelouch will marry for political reasons and nothing more. The only girls Im adding to the harem are girls I plan to give entire arcs too and dive into their relationship with Lelouch.
Harem List, Subject To Change: C.C, Corneila, Carine, Marrybell, Nunnaly, Kallen, Milly, Kaguya, Leila.
Anyway, again apologies, and I hope you readers, new and old, can enjoy!
Old A/N: So After literally binge watching all of Code Geass along with the recap/re imagining movies, plus the new movie that came out last year; I can safely say that I have fallen in love with Code Geass haha. It is such an amazing show that really deserves all the praise it gets and Im so happy to join the fandom.
This little story however takes place in the Canon Timeline and not the Alternate Timeline, which really just means that Shirley is dead, and Resurrection never happened(Meaning that Lelouch and C. C aren't married.) I admit I mostly wrote this for fun, and it will just be alot of Lelouch being a badass, but I did try my best to include actual political storylines and the such. Also yes this is indeed a harem, though I will say off the bat that it will be a slow harem lol Wont be rapid fire fast, though I promise to include plenty of cute moment ^.^
All in all, I hope you all enjoy, and leave a review of what you want to see and what you enjoyed! Along with what I can do better haha, I'm far from perfect~
2020 A.T.B
It had been two years since the world's most infamous tyrant, Lelouch Vi Britania, was killed by the masked Hero Zero. Since that time the world had become a more peaceful and united place, in part due to the three world powers.
In the USJ, Kaname Ohgi, the first prime minister of the post-Area Eleven Japan, had set out to work with Britania and the UFN to help keep peace in the Northern Hemisphere. The hope was for Japan to begin discussions with the Australian Kingdom and begin the first phase of a trade deal.
In the UFN, Chairwoman Kaguya Sumeragi; along with CEO of the Black Knights, Zero; are putting up the finishing touches of a trade deal with the Britannian Empire. The deal would not only allow free trade between the countries of the UFN and Britania, but also allow free travel with the citizens. Afterwards, plans are in place to begin discussions with the newly formed 'African Collation' which consists of several African Countries who joined together to fend off any potential threats from the UFN and Britannia
In Britania, with many citizens still fearful from the reign of Emperor Lelouch, the royal family has refrained from naming the one hundredth Emperor. Instead they have formed the Royal Council, where each member votes on proposed legislation and the such. Though the hope is to oneday install a new Emperor, it will be reduced power.
The world has enjoyed a long time of peace, and the hope among the world leaders and their citizens, is for the peace to be everlasting.
However; peace never lasts. It's a lesson that history has taught time and time again. However, history is also quite ironic. As the man who was secretly the reason for this lasting peace, will also be the one to publicly end it, so he can combat the dark forces lurking below.
Prolouge: A Faulty Peace
2020 A.T.B, Australian Kingdom
The wind blew across the orange fields as the sun was setting in the distance. The sounds of birds chirping could be heard along with the ever growing sounds of crickets. This wide acres long fields belonged to one man and his friends...That man was called Oliver Jones; a reclus of a man who only left his home to tend to his fields, and never allowed visitors or went into town.
Of course it wasn't just him, the three people living with him were the same to a degree. Though they did actually go into town for supplies and even small conversations with the townsfolk, it wasn't often. This lead to many rumors about them, some said that they were convicts on the run, others said they were former nobles who supported the evil Emperor Lelouch and went into hiding after his death, while a few simply thought them to be a loner family.
Yet the truth was something none of them could have ever imagined in their wildest dreams, for you see, Oliver Jones was no normal man; he was in fact…"Lelouch."
The man tending to the fields looked up, his sun hat blocking the view as he looked at the green haired girl in front of him, a sack of wheat on her back. His name and identity casually revealed as she spoke, and all he could do was smile as he looked at her. "Done for the day, C. C?"
Yes, the man Oliver Jones was in fact the dreaded demon Emperor himself, Lelouch Vi Britania. After being killed by Zero, who was in fact Suzaku Kururugi, Lelouch's body was secretly taken by his loyal retainer Jeremiah Gottwald and the former Knight of Six, Anya Alstreim. Due to the state funeral of Lelouch being a private matter, the fact that his body went missing was a secret only known to members of the Royal Council.
After being taken by Jeremiah and Anya, the pair were able to smuggle his body into the Australian Kingdom. C. C soon joined them, and ever since that day, the four had lived in secret, intending to live out their lives as peaceful farmers.
C. C gave a nod, walking over towards him as she effortlessly carried the wheat. "Yeah, Jeremiah and Anya are also done. They should be returning back to the house soon."
"Glad to hear, those Oranges will spoil before long." Giving a casual reply, Lelouch bent down to pick up his small shovel when C. C spoke.
"Is this really what you want?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean do you really want to be a farmer for the rest of eternity? I know you're supposed to bed dead, but-"
"But there are other ways to live, right?" C. C nodded, causing Lelouch to sigh before giving a small smile "Even so, this is the best way to keep hidden. It's worked for three years after all, right? Besides, It's not like I'll be dying anytime soon…"
C. C frowned when she heard the words, knowing what Lelouch was referring to. The only reason he was alive was because he took Charles Britania, the Ninety-eighth Emperor of Britannia and Lelouch's father, contract, giving him immortality. As someone who had lived for thousands of years herself, she knew the pain and suffering that Lelouch would face...Especially when his friends passed on without him.
"Heh, sorry...Guess that hit too close to home, huh?" C. C looked up as Lelouch gave an apologetic smile, causing her to sigh and swing her head.
"It's fine, I know you had no ill intent behind your words. Still though, if you plan just to wait here until the world no longer remembers your face, then I worry your social skills will have evaporated to where you nothing more than a toddler in the common world."
Giving a small laugh as she spoke, Lelouch couldn't help but chuckle along with her. This was daily routine for them now...He'd be finishing up while C. C would come up on him. They would joke about a few things, before finishing up and heading home, with Jeremiah and Anya following suit.
Looking up at the sun, Lelouch began to count down "Three...Two...One…"
"You're Majesty!" On cue, Lelouch looked back out as he saw Jeremiah, two sacks of Oranges thrown over his shoulders, and Anya close behind him with a small basket of Oranges and her camera. "We're done for the day, got quite the haul today!"
Lelouch chuckled, not phased by being openly called majesty. While part of it was due to the fact that he had no reason to correct Jeremiah, another part was because he still, to a certain extent, viewed himself as the Emperor of Britannia. Sure he knew that wasn't the case anymore, and that would only be certified when the one hundredth Emperor was named, but after fighting for it for so long, he still enjoyed the title if anything.
Giving a nod towards him, Lelouch turned and began walking towards the house, the three of them following behind. Routine as it was after all.
Yes...Routine…
His life was Routine.
Every day was the same thing.
Every...Single...Day….
Like all the days that preceded it, as soon as they reached the house, they quickly sorted out their yields from the day. C. C placed the wheat on one stack, Jeremiah and Anya placed the Oranges on another. Lelouch would then go through and write down the numbers such as weight, total, ect...While C. C would begin cooking supper, Jeremiah would begin preparing the wagon to sell the yield, and Anya would recount the memories she made throughout the day.
Once the yield was counted, supper was made and the wagon prepared, the four of them sat around the table; exchanging stories they heard in town, talking about old memories and occasionally talking about the recent news, though with the peace that now ruled the world, the news wasn't usually too interesting.
The most interesting news usually concerned the Australian Royal family, and weather Prince Noah Austria or Princess Amelia Austria would succeed their father for the throne. Unlike other monarchy's, the line of succession was determined by the current King or Queen choosing their successor. Considering that both the Prince and Princess were not only Generals in the Military, but also leading the trade talks with the USJ, made the next Ruler a mystery.
After finishing up supper, C. C and Jeremiah would wash and dry the dishes together, Anya would clean up the table, and Lelouch would retire to his private study.
It was all routine.
Though what wasn't routine…
Was what Lelouch did in his study.
While each day was largely the same, his study was the one place Lelouch looked forward to. Not only was what he did inside each day different, but he also got to test his brain quite often as well. The reason being that everyday in his study, he would develop plans and strategies.
These ranged from taking over Britania again, taking down the Black Knights, plans for if he ever time traveled, plans for if Australia was invaded and he needed to escape. He even had plans for getting either Prince Noah or Princess Amelia to the throne. Why did he make these plans? While part of it was merely for the fun of testing his brain and finding any flaws with his plans, another was because he simply wished to be prepared in case the day came that he ever had to use one of these plans. Not that he expected his plans to ever be used, after all...That would be breaking the routine.
Putting the finishing touches on his most recent plan, Lelouch yawned as he laid back some...He was alot more tired today than usual. He wondered if he was getting sick? He kinda doubted it as ever since he became immortal, he didn't feel many things, let alone being sick. He wondered what it was….
….
Before he could wonder any longer, his eyes closed...Falling into a deep sleep as he mind wandered…
….
…..
...Cold...The floor...Was cold?
Opening his eyes, Lelouch found himself lying on cold ground, darkness surrounding him. Where was he? This clearly wasn't his study anymore, that was for sure. It was cold, wet, and despair inducing. It was a place reeked of hopelessness and unhappiness, it almost felt like C's world but...Not quite at the same time…
Pushing himself up, he looked around, his mind more curious than afraid as he pushed himself to his feet. "Lelouch Vi Britannia…"
Suddenly, a voice boomed out as Lelouch looked all around. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
Quickly removing his contacts, Lelouch looked around with his Geass fully activated, yet the voice didn't answer his direct question, instead continuing on. "Ninety-Ninth Emperor of Britannia, CEO and Founder of the Black Knights, and Second Chairmen of the United Federation of Nations."
"Mocking me with my past titles?" Indeed, those were his past titles. However, they were all for a greater purpose, none of them were meant to glorify him or what he had done in life.
"Mocking?" The voice finally directed it's self at his own words. "Hardly, taking over the World is no simple task, yet you did so effortlessly...Before throwing it all away."
"It was never mine to have...I simply did so-"
"To make the world a better place for your sister, Nunnaly correct?" Lelouch didn't answer, easily seeing the question was more of a statement. "While that may be true, it's also true that for a short time you did indeed control the world that man rules. It's also true that the peaceful world you created, will only bring more destruction down the very near future."
"Destruction? What do you mean?"
"It's simple...In a world where Britania is at war with the Europia Union and the Chinese Federation, though it's deadly, it's stable...The forces of the underworld cannot make a move. The same can be said for a world where Britania is simply at war with the United Federation of Nations. Though the war claims many lives, it's still stable and it keeps the powers that be at bay."
"Get to the point." Not wanting his time wasted, Lelouch snapped at the voice.
"The point is this...A peaceful world is not stable, atleast not the peace that you created. You had the world join together in it's hatred for you...Yet what will happen when new problems arise? While you were still alive, everything could be blamed on you, including the war. But now that you're 'dead' people must find another scapegoat...Will it be Britania? The United Federation of Nations? The Black Knights? Your own sister?"
"She has nothing to do with this!"
"Oh but she does...For you see, if the world continues at this rate, then your sister will soon become the next Emperor of Britannia." Lelouch scowled at the voice, not out of confusion, but out of the feeling his time was being wasted. He always figured that Nunally would become Emperor one day, but even then- "In fact, she will be the One Hundreth Emperor."
"What? The One Hundredth?"
"Yes...And it will be because the rest of your siblings were murdered on a day that will be known as 'Day Zero'...The day the End of the World Began."
"Day Zero? End of the World? My siblings...Just what are you talking about!?"
"In exactly six months, the African Coalition will launch a successful Coup D'etat on the Britannian Empire. All members of the Royal Family excluding your full blooded sister, will be brutally murdered in the uprising. As a result of the uprising, many territories will use this as an excuse to declare independence from Britannia and will result in the Britannian Civil War. It will be a bloody war, that will ultimately see your sister killed, ending the Britanian bloodline."
Lelouch narrowed his gaze, his hands squeezing together. It sounded so stupid, how could a few countries cause an uprising large enough to defeat the largest Empire in the world?
Before he could ask any questions, however, the voice continued. "This won't be the last of it however, as the Britannian Civil War will result in half of the countries from the United Federation of Nations leaving and forming their own collation, with the express goal of defeating the now broken Britannian Empire. This will cause the United Federation of Nations to declare war on the New Federation, leading to the Federation Civil War."
"Tell me, how does a small-"
"I'm not finished." Not raising its voice, but somehow sounding more intimidating, Lelouch simply gritted his teeth as the voice continued. "The Federation Civil War will cause the United States of Japan and the Black Knights to get involved, further escalating the conflict. During all of this, the Africian Coalition will continue to grow as more African Countries join them, until eventually they are strong enough to involve themselves into both wars, merging the two Civil Wars into one giant World War. This war will be so devastating, that by the end of it, Mankind will almost cease to exist, with about ninety-five percent of the population being wiped out."
"Just wait a minute! That doesn't make any sense! How does a few countries cause such a large scale Coup? Especially ones that are on the other side of the World compared to Britania!?"
"The New Order."
"New...Order?"
"Yes...The New Order are the ones working in secret to start this War. As you know, you were the one who destroyed the Old Order, along with killing the Director V. V, this New Order was formed from the remnants of that. Their new Director is the one who came up with this plan, and all they need to set it into motion is the power of Geass and the money of the Australians."
"Huh? The Australians?"
"Correct, for you see...Princess Amelia is apart of this New Order. She will be the one to inherit the throne, and she will immediately begin the plan by transferring all of the funds of the country to the New Order, who will use the money to quickly supply the African Coalition with the materials, weaponry, and personnel it needs to begin such an outlandish Coup."
"Personnel...You mean…"
"Geass users...They are the main reason this new war will start and eventually succeed. Princess Amelia herself is a Geass user, her power can only be used once. However, her power allows her to control the person she uses it on, for the rest of their life."
"One person? So, she plans to use it on her father then, so he names her the heir to the throne."
"That is correct, and since all she needs is the throne so she can transfer the necessary funds, then using it for this one action is all she needs."
"I see." Lelouch moved his hand to his chin as he thought, various plans and strategies running through his head.
"I see you're taking this quite seriously, so let me give you one piece of advice. When you wake up, exactly four hours later, Princess Amelia will be secretly making her way through the local village in a carriage that looks like a standard tourist carriage. However, the windows will be closed, and sitting beside the Coachman will be a man covered by a blanket, a gun hidden underneath. This will be your best and only chance to deal with her, what you do with this opportunity is up to you."
"I see…" Lelouch continued to run countless theories and ideas through his head, the voice could be heard chuckling as he did so.
"Let me end it on this, taking her out will simply delay the New Orders plans, it will not stop them. If you wish to stop them, then you must draw them out with another war, that will cause loss of life, but it will be necessary. Once again, you must become the villain, Emperor Lelouch Vi Britania!"
And with that, Lelouch once against passed out, as the darkness around him swallowed him whole.
What seemed like just a few minutes after being swallowed by the darkness, Lelouch opened his eyes as he looked at his desk in front of him. His back ached from sleeping on the chair, and for a moment he simply thought he had some strange dream from exhaustion.
Yet that moment didn't last, as Lelouch knew deep down that the dream he had was no mere dream...The precision, feeling and perception of it was all too real for a dream. Perhaps that was just an excuse and it really was a dream, yet he knew he couldn't take any chances...And who knows, maybe he was just ready to get away from this boring life.
Grabbing one of his blank notebooks, he went to work, using all of the information he learned in the dream to begin the planning for phase one of his plan. "So the war will start because of the African Coalition? That makes the capital of founding nation, Egypt, the likely location of the New Order. Though if they were somehow able to infiltrate the Australian Royal Family, could they actually be closer to the Southern Hemisphere? Perhaps the New Zealand Republic?"
Writing down his theories and hypotheses on where the New Order could be with the limited knowledge that he currently owned, he quickly moved on to the current situation at hand. Which would be dealing with the Princess of Australia, Amelia.
"If she is indeed set to use her Geass to ascend to the throne, then killing her would quickly stop that. However, she is currently my only lead into the New Order and the Australian Royal Family...Well, if she really is passing by in a few hours." Giving a smirk to himself, Lelouch began writing down the rest of his initial plan, everything from the encounter with Amelia to things such as what to do next.
It took him about two hours to write just the initial phase down, as he constantly wrote down plans before scrapping them and throwing them away, even the smallest error causing him to sigh in frustration and start from scratch.
Finally, after looking over the map of the village and getting a good idea of where Amelia was heading to based off of rumors, evidence and traffic alerts for the day, he finally had a plan that satiesfied him.
Giving a sigh, he leaned back in his chair as he looked at the sheets of papers in front of him. However, that was quickly interrupted by a knock at his door. "Your majesty?"
"Enter." Giving a simple phrase, Lelouch pushed himself up as he began organizing his plan, as Jeremiah walked in, a smile on his face.
"Your majesty, we're ready to take the yield to the town! We should be back in around-"
"There's no need." Quickly interrupting him, Jeremiah raised an eyebrow. "All four of us will be heading towards town in a few hours."
"Huh? Including you? But what if-"
"Someone recognizes me? It's not a problem, we'll be heading towards the abandoned Watermill...Well it won't be so abandoned if my hypothesis is correct. Once we have control over the place, we will wait for Princess Amelia to arrive."
"The princess? Why-"
"Jeremiah." Cutting him off once again, Lelouch turned around and looked him in the eyes. "A new threat is quickly coming to this world, a threat that none of us could ever predict. The only way to stop this threat, is for the Demon Emperor, the one despised by all of mankind, Lelouch Vi Britania, to rise up again and take over this world! That all starts with taking over the Australian Kingdom! Now Jeremiah, are you with me!?"
Jeremiah looked at Lelouch with wide eyes, knowing damn well Lelouch was serious from the way he spoke and acted. Yet that that shock quickly disappeared as a wide smile came upon Jeremiah's face as he quickly hit his chest with his own fist and yelled out. "Yes, your Majesty!"
"Good! Quickly bring C. C and Anya in and-"
"You're yelling so loud, we could easily hear you." Coming right in behind Jeremiah, C. C and Anya walked in, neutral looks on their faces as C. C looked at Lelouch. "Are you serious? You're going to throw the Zero Requiem away like it's nothing?"
"Throwing it away? Hardly...This is simply a continuation of said plan. The Zero's Requiem was to install everlasting peace throughout the world; and until this threat is taken care, that peace will not come."
"What threat are you talking about?"
"The New Order."
"New Order? Do you mean…?" Lelouch simply nodded, causing C. C to narrow her brow before she just nodded. "I see...I can understand where you're coming from now."
"That is correct. However, I won't force any of you to join me on this mission. But if you are ready to follow me, let me hear it!"
"I will follow you until the day I pass on to the next World, Your Majesty!"
"Hm...The chance to make new memories and explore the world again...It sounds interesting...I'm at your service."
"Hmph, we're partners in crime aren't we? Why wouldn't I follow you at this point?"
Nodding as he heard everyone speak, Lelouch held out his hand as he spoke. "Then Lelouch Vi Britania commands it! Let the first Phase of the Day Zero Plan Begin!"
Everyone nodded, as Jeremiah raised his hand into the air and yelled out in the small room.
"All hail Lelouch!"
