Prologue

June 7th 2010 a.t.b.

A boy stood holding an umbrella. The rain poured as his green eyes stared at the casket that held his father. This was just a ceremony to hope the best wishes for Genbu Kururugi, former Prime Minister of Japan, in the after life.

The boy, known as Suzaku Kururugi, didn't shed a tear, nor did he wish the best for his dead father. Inside he was apathetic to this funeral, just like his father had taught him. He promised himself that when he had children, he would show them that is was okay to do certain things.

On August 10th 2010 a.t.b. Japan and Britannia became allies.

August 1st 2017 a.t.b, at age 17, Suzaku Kururugi became Prime Minister of Japan.

May 3rd 2018 a.t.b.

Emerald green eyes stared at the depressing invitation letter. Suzaku did not care for the happenings on the other side of the sea. Although he knew the repercussions if he did not attend this very important yet sad day.

Charles di Britannia has passed away and his funeral will be held in a couple days. He placed the invitation down on his desk and swiveled the chair around to stare out the window of his office. He was also invited to a meeting that will announce the next emperor or empress of Britannia. All of the allies will be there too. Well he guessed that it would be wise to attend and see to this new leader of the powerful country and perhaps persuade them with a few ideas he wishes to act on. Although, if it was the Second Prince Schneizel like everyone thinks it will be, then he had his hope cut out for him. Then there is probably the second Princess Cornelia. She obviously has distrust for anyone that is not Britannian so it was a definite no. There is also this mysterious sibling that Euphie gets so defensive about. Every time he tried to steer it in that direction, she would always change the subject. So he dropped the subject.

Although he did have a feeling his partner in crime had an idea of who Euphie was talking about. He never asked her for she would only give him vague answers that are riddles. Suzaku's eyes trailed over to the woman munching on the box of pizza he had sent up. Her golden eyes went to meet his amusement shining in them.

"You should go. Perhaps the next emperor or empress will be unexpected," she had said. His green eyes narrowed at her response. She always manages to know what he was thinking, perhaps it was the connection they had.

"C.C. it seems you have a good idea on who the next ruler of Britannia will be. Care to share?" Suzaku asked. C.C. did not answer him. "I'll make sure you get pizza at your beck and call," he offered knowing the green-haired girl's weakness. Golden eyes had hope in their depths, but went back to amusement.

"Tempting, but no. You'll just have to find out for yourself." C.C. said smirking in his direction as she got he reaction she wanted.

She watched him curse calling her an immortal witch, before taking out a pen and paper to write his response to the letter. Suzaku sure was very predictable.

Sayoko should accompany them. She thought to herself. After all, Sayoko was a lot calmer and more rational than some she had met that accompanied Suzaku. Plus she was a very capable guard. It also reminded her that she needed to buy some hair dye to attend the funeral of Charles di Britannia.

May 6th 2018 a.t.b.

Suzaku found that this funeral was very different than the one for his father. It was not raining, nor was it private. He also noticed that most of Charle's one hundred or so children were not so happy to be there. He recognized Odysseus, Schneizel, Cornelia, Euphie, and Charles' many sons and daughters.

He noticed that something was different. There were two girls standing next to Cornelia and Euphie. The youngest, he assumes, is the one in the wheelchair with long light-brown hair, he could not see her eyes because they were closed. Next to her was one of the most beautiful girls he has ever seen. She had long dark black hair and striking violet eyes. He adverted his gaze as those violet eyes glanced up to him.

It was then that he wondered who they were.

Finally after the excruciating two hours of the emperor's ceremony it has come to the will of the emperor. This was when Charles himself has designed the will on who would be his successor. Suzaku knew that the former emperor praised Darwinism. So it would be the most ruthless of the siblings that was almost like Charles or even remotely close thinking like the former emperor. C.C. and Sayoko stood by him as his personal assistant and bodyguard. At least he was not bored alone.

Lost in his boredom he did not notice that C.C. has slipped out informing Sayoko to protect Suzaku and that she will be back before they leave.

"… Now onto the matter regarding the next emperor. Charles zi Britannia has decided his strongest heir to inherit the throne in his place should be pass. Our new emperor is…"

There was a pause for a dramatic effect. To everyone the silence seemed to stretch on forever.

"The ninety-ninth Empress Lelouch vi Britannia!"
