Code Geass – A New World of My Design
Prologue – Part 1
"A New World and A New Day"
I was always a fan of Code Geass, sure I had issues with the show but all in all it was quite the story, I watched the spin-off Akito the Exiled and it was actually better than the original, sure it too has its pitfalls but all in all not a bad show.
Now I was hearing that a new season 3 for Code Geass was set to release, I had originally thought, 'Why?'
'Didn't the first two seasons cover just about everything, what else could possibly be brought up at this point?' But I was a curious little kitten and; little did I know I was about to be sucked into a world of chaos, betrayal and war… This is my new life in a new world and a new day.
I know what's to come and who will stand in my way, but no matter what I will create…
A New World of My Design!
You know if you asked me if I believed in an afterlife or reincarnation, I told you two things; one was that I had my doubts and on the second topic, that you were insane.
But with my situation as it is now, I know believe in both to the extreme…
Pendragon, Estate of the el Britannia Royal branch
The moment I set foot in this world I knew I would be a part of its events but to be so close to it all, around so many players is still more unbelievable than ever.
"Would you like some more tea, brother Edward?" A soft voice asked me. "Of course, sister I'd be delighted." I answered her.
Nunally was always the one I could never say no to, seeing here now and knowing her fate leavers me with nothing more than a giant hole in my heart knowing I can't do anything about it lest I bring prying eyes.
We're my manners, my new name is Edward el Britannia, the 4th Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and the younger brother of Schneizel el Britannia, 2nd Prince of the Empire and future Prime Minister.
My mother's name was Madeline el Britannia, a woman of great beauty we all shared the same blond hair and light purple eyes, she's one of the few things in this new world that I can truly say is a real blessing.
Then there was my "father", the Emperor, Charles zi Britannia, a figure I would never see in my childhood though I find that will change sometime in the near future.
During my little playdate with Nunnally we heard footsteps approaching and in came a black dressed boy come through the door, little Lelouch vi Britannia and future revolutionary leader.
He came in once again as I always saw him with a scowl on his brow, "Sister, have you been here all day, Cornelia's been worried."
Nunnally saw her brother and said, "Oh Lulu, please join us." Joining in the fun, "She's right come now little Lulu, you might find it to be a little fun."
His scowl changed now to anger, "Don't call me Lulu!" I responded with, "But doesn't Empress Marianne call you that as well?"
He faltered for a second, "T-t-that's different!" Both me and Nunnally were laughing at this point as Lelouch turned with a 'humph and turned away.
Walking over to the young prodigy I said to him, "Lelouch, relax were only joking its alright. It's all in good fun."
Lelouch looked back at his siblings, his anger was gone but his scowl remained.
After some time, I found myself challenged once again by Lelouch to a game of… you guessed it…. CHESS!
Despite what others may say I loved a match or two of chess, I was no expert per say but I like to think I had some skill. Against my brother or Lelouch I doubt I had the skills to beat them one day…
As the game began and opening moves finished, Lelouch did his most well-known move, bringing his King piece to front lines.
I questioned him on it for the first time, "Lelouch, why do you insist on moving your King forward?"
He answered with his trademark quote, "If the king doesn't move, then his subjects won't follow."
Hearing it and watching it being said are truly different experiences, "Yet most kings in history have only moved when necessary for themselves, besides how can you know your enemy if your dead after making your move?" I brought my own thoughts to the table as Lelouch looked up from the board for the first time and had an almost incredulous look.
He looked like he'd just been told the worst news in his life. I however didn't say anything else as my statement said everything I believed as I looked back at the board and thought if my next move.
For a few more moves I realized my defeat was inevitable, by this time we had a small audience of our siblings; Clovis was there, my brother Schneizel, our sister Cornelia and Euphemia was also there as well.
Knowing when to graciously retreat from a losing battle I said the few words that would show the difference between me and Lelouch. "I give up." I said as I got up from my chair and stretched.
Everyone was surprised by action except my brother who looked on with an unchanged face.
"What do you think your doing were not finished!" Lelouch said in anger. "Actually, I just said we were, I simply retreated to fight another day, a king can't lead his people if he's captured or killed, so I retreated from this battle, but don't worry our war isn't over yet."
Lelouch looked at me with the same look as I walked away my brother later catching up as we went home together.
My relationship with Schneizel was interesting to say the least, he truly cared about his family, but underneath I knew he really was a sociopath who was cold and ruthless wiling to sacrifice anything for the sake of his goals if necessary, even family.
So, it goes without saying I steered clear of getting into debates with my brother whenever necessary.
I remember first seeing the outside of our house, well more a mansion than a house, it was a large estate with a quaint picturesque landscape for as far as the eye could see.
I was lying underneath one of the pear trees we kept in the garden, I was looking out to my siblings they were in their little groups.
Some where conversing with my mother since she was hosting the party that we were currently holding that day. If there was one thing, I knew is that if an event could be made to party for it was made.
The palce of said party was at our estate for the advent of spring that had just arrived a day ago, but most of my siblings kept to themselves as now they were all too young for court politics.
Looking around I saw Cornelia, the ever dutiful sister watching over her charges, Lelouch who was currently challenging Schneizel to chess match and from his frustrated look he was losing as expected, and the other was Nunnally who was playing with Euphemia in the flowers, surprisingly in this world Euphemia was actually my age I had thought she was the same age as Lelouch, well there's my answer about changes in the timeline.
Clovis was somewhere painting his portraits and other pieces. Guinevere and Odysseus were conversing with my mother with a young Carine ne Britannia next to my mother, they were discussing court intrigue which I found rather bland at my age.
Odysseus was the same soft-spoken and gentle older brother I remembered him to be, how he even thinks to one day rule Britannia in a world of nothing but bad apples he was not the kind who would be a great ruler for the realm.
Guinevere was a prideful and vain woman, all she ever seemed to want to do at any time was buy clothes and other petty material possessions. Never really cared for all of that, but we were courteous to each other. I had also heard the 'horror' stories of my siblings of how she dressed them up in her designs, lucky me I was never on the receiving end.
Cornelia was a strict but caring older sister. Whenever we were together when Schneizel was gone she showed me the mother sisterly side of her she had deep down, but most of the time she kept up that faced only when off the battlefield. She also expected near perfection out of me most of the time with what I do, but still all the same a loving and caring sister.
Ah, Euphemia, she was every bit I expected her to be. She was the sweetest and most caring person in the world, sometimes I almost felt so sick looking at her sometimes.
Finally, out prodigal son and the main character we all know, Lelouch vi Britannia. Everyone's favorite, but to me he's a brat. But I know in the future he will be a threat to my future dream, but for now I must deal with this shrimp always challenging me to chess matches. Of course, I would deny him that opportunity. But he's still a momma's boy with a sister complex I the works from what I could see.
He was declared a genius at a young age and was destined to do great things; boy where they right. Still we got along well and surprisingly I found myself debating over ideas with him the most. Who knew a thirteen-year-old and a six-year old could speak about philosophy and politics, and not be bored of each other!
In this new life, it was exciting to meet these new characters, but I had to ask myself the question…
Why am I here then?
A splash of water wakes from my thinking stupor as I look to the see the smiling and mischievous face of Milly Ashford
Milly and the Ashford's were a family that was an exception among the other noble families that got invited to many events because of their own abilities to throw huge parties themselves.
It was there I meet a mischievous Milly who was running away from unnerved Lelouch who was chasing her.
However, there was one thing I never forgot what to do…
I motioned for Milly to come over and she knew exactly what I was going to do.
Getting up from my position I transitioned over to a nearby piano we sometimes used for entertainers we invited to play at events.
The song, "Rains of Castamere" was an old one from my world, but with this world I think it perfectly fits the theme of it. Milly saw me play this by myself one night when I decided I had enough time at a party that was being held.
I walked over to the piano and as I sat down everyone turned and noticed, so I had an audience this time. Milly joined me and sat next to me; in my old life I didn't like to be the only one playing alone so I had some stage fright.
Milly noticing this held my hand as she squeezed it slightly as we looked at each other and then I began playing and then we began our duet.
(AN: For this song, bold indicates Edward singing, and italicized indicates Milly, and bold italicized means both are singing.
Rains of Castamere by Milly Ashford and Edward el Britannia (Karliene ver.)
I started playing and as the music began to hit its high point we began singing:
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold, or a coat of read, a lion still has its claws.
And mine are long and sharp, my lord as long and sharp as yours
And so, he spoke, and so he spoke that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear
The rains fall down, yes, the rains fall down on lord of Castamere
Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear
As we came to and finished, we looked at each other until the applause of everyone who was attending gave us a standing ovation for our performance.
I loved the moments like this we had, but I knew in the future they would be few and far between. What we didn't know was that this was the beginning of something between us that I would never regret in my life. Milly would be THE most important person in my life.
For the longest time I've always wondered my place in this world and knowing the things and events to come I know I will make my own impact on the world and achieve my own ambitions to change the world into the shape I want it to be.
First that would come with training and patience, borrowing the experience of yet another "Imperial" general, I decided that I would join the Royal Naval Academy in Annapolis were Maryland would've been today.
If you haven't guessed already my main inspiration was Grand Admiral Thrawn, a man who despite the nation he served was cruel and tyrannical he did what he did for the greater good of the galaxy and those who followed him. I believe many people misunderstood his intentions.
I also loved his beliefs on war, culture and philosophy; with such unorthodox ways as that I knew what I had to do…
