Chapter 1 (Some Fools Never Learn)


Lelouch sat on his throne in the large throne room of the palace, listening to the old man in front of him ramble on. Lelouch looked quiet dashing in his white emperor’s robes with purple and gold trim. The dark purple of the robes brought out the color of his eyes at least that’s what CC told him. His beautiful and strong witch was seated to his left. Lelouch had requested that the second smaller throne be brought in for her to sit on while attending these boring meetings of country and state with him. Lelouch smirked thinking of the uproar this had caused. Those fools would have kept quiet if they had only realized that this was only the first and very small change he would bring with him as emperor. Lelouch glanced over at his lover, she was dressed in the very gown he had had made for her. As if feeling his eyes on her, she glanced at him and gave him a small smile.

“Bored of this already, your majesty?” She said.

“Are you not?” he answered back.

She just smiled and looked back toward the old man. Lelouch could not help but admire her. ‘I did a great job on the dress.’ He thought to himself. CC was wearing a white gown that was cut low to show off her breast, with a long flowing skirt that did not restrict her movements. The gold accents that the seamstress had put into the gown made her golden eyes shine. The pureness of the gown made her soft white skin look like porcelain and mad her light green hair shine under the soft lights in the room. He had finally got her to stop wearing hats to cover up the red geass mark on her forehead. She had now taken to putting gems into the center; he had to smile it made the mark look like a natural crown. To his right Suzaku stood, Lelouch’s Knight of Zero. He was dashing in his dark uniform. This was another change that had caused a scandal. A lowly 11 made to be an emperor’s Knight. Lelouch laughed quietly to himself when he thought about what gossip would go around if the biddies at court ever found out that the Knight as well as the Witch was his lovers. Lelouch looked back at the old man standing in the center of the large room. He smirked when he took in the mans body posture. ‘No matter what words left one’s mouth the body does not lie’ Lelouch thought. The old man was balding and wearing too gaudy of clothes for his taste. Lelouch had heard the rumors of the man taking the tax money that the country he was in charge of and spending it on his self. When he was caught he raised the taxes on the people to keep his head. To bad for this foolish old man, Lelouch was not the type of emperor his father was. Lelouch looked at the man with distain then glanced to his right at his Knight. Lelouch could tell that his Knight was upset at the man before him. Not many people could tell what the Knight was thinking but Lelouch knew him well. As Lelouch has said before, words may lie but the body never does. Suzaku stood at his emperors side with his fist tightly clenched. He could see this mans throat in his hands as he slowly strangled the life from this rich bastard. With is head tilted his auburn hair hid the hatred he felt that showed clearly in his deep green eyes. Suzaku saw Lelouch raise is hand slightly to get his attention. He looked at his emperor.

“Do not let it bother you so. I will not let his deeds go unpunished. Let the old fool prattle on for a little longer while I think of a suitable punishment.” Lelouch said softly, so as the other occupants of the room could not hear.

Lelouch saw CC smile slightly and knew that she had heard and was pleased with this decision. Suzaku nodded his head slightly to signify that he had heard his emperor. At one time he had thought that his emperor was cruel and unjust, but he had come to realize that even though Lelouch went about his plans differently they were heading toward the same goal. It had torn his heart in two to hate the man he loved so much. Suzaku glanced over at CC. He was cautious of the Witch, but knew that Lelouch loved her just as much as he loved him. If he had to share his love with another then so be it. He would treasure this little time that he had with lover. He knew that CC would also protect Lelouch with all the power that she had. Suzaku again glanced at his emperor and lover, ‘So little time left, why did this have to play out like this? Why did Lelouch have to make himself out to be a bad guy? Why did he have to die?’ Suzaku thought.

‘Because no one will ever believe him. No one will believe that he did this to make things better. No one will believe that he wants to change everything.’ Suzaku answered to himself. ‘You did not believe him and you claim to love him.’ Suzaku abashed himself.

Funny how he said that to himself, it was the very Witch that Suzaku mistrusted, that had said those very words to him. Suzaku chuckled softly. The old man heard the slight chuckle and started to shake. He had not said anything funny. He glanced at Lelouch then Suzaku fearfully. Noticing that Lelouch had not moved or made any indication that he had heard the chuckle, the old man glared at the Knight of Zero and continued on. Lelouch noticed the glare and was offended. This bastard thought that it was okay to disrespect his Knight just because according to him, his Knight was not human but a thing. Both CC and Suzaku noticed the tensing in Lelouch shoulders at the slight to Suzaku.

‘Ohhh,’ CC thought gleefully, ‘this foolish old man just bit off more than he could chew.’

Suzaku, used to the offensive slight paid it no mind, but wondered if the old man had made things worse for himself. Lelouch leaned to the right in his throne, putting his elbow on the arm rest of his seat. He then brought his long slender, pale fingers to his forehead, brushing his long soft midnight black hair away from his dark violet eyes. He then formed his hand into a fist and rested his cheek against it. Everyone in the court became ridged with fear at the clear show of impatience, coming from the emperor. The old man was unaware in the change of the emperor as he kept his eyes on the floor and continued to ramble on. Lelouch was leaning toward Suzaku when he asked in a quite voice.

“How many soldiers do we have in the barracks?”

“As of an hour ago we had a total of 100, your majesty” Suzaku answer, slightly confused as to why Lelouch had asked him the question.

“Suzaku, I want you to pick out the best soldiers we have, about 25 of them should do the trick.” Lelouch said with menace in his voice.

“Yes, my lord.” Suzaku answered in a questioning voice.

“To answer your unspoken question the man in front of me, I ordered him to bring his family when he came for a nice social call,” Lelouch said smiling sadistically. “He has no male heir, therefore he brought his wife and four daughters, all of marriage age, as you well know. I think it is only fitting that for the rape that he caused the Area he was overseeing, that he should witness the rape of his wife and daughters at the hands of my soldiers. Then when he is suitably broken, he will be executed for the callous way he treated you.”

Suzaku was shocked but strangely not appalled it may have been cruel, but he could not think of a more fitting punishment for such a cruel man. Suzaku had heard all the rumors and was sent to investigate the man before he was called before Lelouch. Lelouch had heard the rumors about the taxes, but the information that Suzaku had brought back to him had sealed the old man and his family’s fate before they had even come to court.

****** Flash Back *****

Suzaku had just arrived in the country of Area 7. He had ridden a ship to arrive at the city of Chadwick. As soon as he stepped off the ship his nose wrinkled with distaste. The city smelled of rot both human and animal. Suzaku was under the disguise of a wealthy business man from Area 11, named Henry Swinebur, and was here on assignment from his emperor to find out if the rumors were true about the state of this country. With his tan skin, auburn hair and brilliant green eyes it was easy for him to pass as an Honored Brittiana. Only those that knew him would know that he was in fact Japanese. The emperor had went thought great pains to make sure that no one could or would tell this secret to anyone. As Suzaku stepped onto the dock he was meet by an elderly gentleman.

“Mr. Swinebur, I presume” The elder man said.

“Yes,” Suzaku said nodding slightly to the other man.

“This way sir, your carriage is waiting.”

‘Carriage,’ Suzaku thought. ‘So that’s one rumor that’s true. The man in charge of this area would not let it progress.’

“Thank you, Mr. ….,” Suzaku trailed off not knowing the elder mans name.

“Smith, Franklin Smith,” The elder man supplied. “At your service, sir. How rude of me not to introduce myself. Please forgive this old man, sir.”

“Nothing to be forgiven,” Suzaku responded kindly. “I should have asked.”

“Thank you, sir. If you would this way, please.” Mr. Smith said gratefully.

‘What kind of place is this?’ Suzaku thought. ‘That poor old man looked like I was about to strike him for not introducing himself to me.’

Suzaku walked toward the carriage that Mr. Smith had pointed out to him. The old man gracefully stepped up to the carriage, pulling out the fold away steps and opening the door for him to enter. Suzaku stepped into the carriage and wrinkled his nose. It was a ghastly eyesore. The outside of the carriage looked sort of normal, but inside it was over done with bright red velvet with ruby encrusted gold trim. ‘So this is what the ruling family rides in’ Suzaku thought as the carriage began to move through the streets toward the big mansion on the hill right on the outskirts of town. Even though the driver tried to take the best roads toward the home, Suzaku’s battle sharpened eyes could see all the poverty that this city was hiding. He saw poor families huddled together in alleys for warm. He saw small children sitting with bellies protruding because of hunger. He saw the emptiness in the eyes of the young mother trying to hide from the carriage in fear for her children. ‘What kind of sick and twisted place is this?’ Suzaku thought. As the carriage slowly made its way toward where he would be staying Suzaku was sure to take careful notes in his head about the atrocities that he was seeing. He had no way of knowing that this was only the beginning. The carriage pulled up to the black iron gate that fenced in the property. Suzaku looked out the window and saw luscious green grass, a clean blue pond with a fountain, a large orchard with apple and pear trees, and a large vine yard. When the carriage finally made it to the front of the mansion the old driver stepped out to help Suzaku out. Suzaku was meet by a host of servants in black and white uniforms lined up the large staircase to the large mahogany doors. These people looked better feed and clean, but they still had the same lifeless expression on their faces as the people he had seen on the street. Suzaku carefully walked to the top of the stairs and waited while two gentlemen opened the big heavy doors. Suzaku stepped inside the house, quickly scanning the area for any potential threats to him. See as there where none he then focused on the family before him with disgust. Standing before him was an overly dressed man and five women. The man was older with a large bald spot that he was trying to unsuccessfully cover up with a wig. He was wearing velvet red and gold wide striped pants and jacket with a gold silk shirt with ruffles and lace on the collar and sleeves. Suzaku had to force himself not to throw up at the hideous way the man was dressed. ‘Well at least I know who designed the interior of the carriage’ he thought with distaste. Suzaku braced himself to look at the over dresses women next. The one next to the older man was about 10 years younger than the older man; Suzaku would guess that she was in her late 30’s. With the other 4 females ranging in age from 18 to 24 years of age. They were all dressed the same just in slightly different colors. They had low cut gowns on that had hooped skirts. The gowns were silk in the shades of bright red, royal blue, canary yellow, grass green, and cotton candy pink. They had their hair pulled up and pilled high upon their heads, Suzaku wondered to himself that if he touched their hair if it would break. He also was surprised to see all of the jewelry that the women where wearing. They had rings on every finger, two necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. He wondered how they stood up under the weight of them. The women were extremely pale and thin. Suzaku was sure to keep his face carefully neutral. He was here to gather information not to let these people know that they were being investigated. He would stomach it for his emperor.


“Welcome to our humble home, Mr. Swinebur. I am sure that you are tired from you journey. Please make yourself at home. Simon will see to your bags and my lovely daughter Susaniette will see you to your room.” The old man said over loudly.

Suzaku fought to hide his grimace at the sound of the old mans weasel, nasal voice. “Thank you for your kind hospitality and letting me visit your fine home while we conduct our business agreement.” Suzaku stated, being sure to put on a mask of pleasure.

“A business arrangement that would benefit us both, I do hope.” The man said.

It was going to take all of Suzaku’s willpower for his mask not to crack at just the sound of this mans voice, much less his choice of clothes. Suzaku looked at the women and had to swallow the bile that suddenly rose into his throat, when he noticed the dark, hungry, lustful looks in the women’s eyes. As their eyes roamed up and down his body he had to suppress a shiver of disgust. ‘I hope that this does not take long. I do not think that I will be able to handle them hanging on me or looking at me like I am a fresh slice of meat.’ He thought to himself.

“As do I,” Suzaku stated, being sure to make a grin spread upon his lips.

(Authors Notes: We are going to do a little time skip here. Sorry but I do not want this to be the main part of the story. So I’m just going to jump back into the main story and let Suzaku’s memories kind of fill in some of the empty blanks.)

******** End Flash Back **********

Suzaku could still remember all of what had happened on that fateful trip. The old fool had not even recognized him as the man that had come to visit him only 2 weeks ago. He smirked at the conceded bastard standing in front of him.

He leaned toward Lelouch and whispered softly. “As you wish, my lord, but I think that those whores that he calls wife and daughters might enjoy it.”

Lelouch nodded slightly, “I was taking that into account, my Knight. I never said that I was releasing them. They shall ply their trade for free in the barracks for any soldier that wishes for their time.” He finished with his trademark smirk on his face.

Suzaku could not help but smirk himself at hearing these words and glance over at CC to see her wearing the same cruel smirk. He could feel the tension in the air. He could swear he could have cut it with the beautiful handmade katana strapped to his side. A gift from Lelouch, ‘Something to remember him by’ he had said with a sad smile on his face. Suzaku treasured the sword; he made sure to keep the sheath clean and freshly oiled. The black leather sheath literally shined. The blade was kept at razor sharpness. You could slice a hair in half on its fine blade. He smiled softy to himself at the memoires of Lelouch telling him with a cute pout on his face. ‘Suzaku, I swear I think you love that sword more than me sometimes.’

“You will tell me what you are thinking about to bring that smile upon your face later.” Lelouch demanded in a soft voice.

“Yes, my lord, of course,” Suzaku whispered to his emperor again.

“I think it is time to stop this useless prattle, do you not my loves. I can think of more interesting ways for us to spend our time.” Lelouch said with a dark seductive promise in his voice.

“Agreed,” said CC.

Suzaku nodded his head, “Agreed.”

Lelouch cleared his throat to try to get the attention of the rambling old fool. The man was talking so much that he did not even hear him. Suzaku looked to Lelouch for permission. Lelouch nodded his head slightly. Suzaku loudly cleared his throat. Hearing this, the old man stopped talking for a moment to cast a glare at Suzaku. Then went on too start talking yet again. The trio on the valance heard the hushed whispers of the crowd that was in the throne room. The people of this court knew very well that their emperor did not speak loudly and when his knight cleared his throat that it meant the emperor wished to speak. Suzaku cleared his throat again a little louder. The man again ignored him. Lelouch sighed in irritation. CC had decided that she had seen enough. Did this fool like the sound of his own voice? Even if she did not love Suzaku as much as she loved Lelouch, Suzaku was Lelouch’s Knight and deserved this man’s, not man’s insects, she corrected herself, respect.

“Silence fool,” CC said, hatred lacing her voice like poison, “your Emperor wishes to speak.”

The fool of a man then made another mistake of his life time. What little he had of it left anyway.

“Witch,” he said, contempt clear in his voice, “how dare you speak to a Noble in that tone of voice. You should know your place.”

“As you should know yours, “Lelouch said in a cold hard voice.

The man quickly swung his head in the direction of the Emperor, meeting the cold, hard eyes filled with malice. He quickly fell to his knees under the hard unrelenting glaze. He finally realized he was in over his head.
