Description
Seven years ago in the year 2010 of the Holy Calendar, the Holy Britannian Empire attacked the country of Japan. In the deciding battle, Britannian forces introduced a new weapon: the Knightmare Frame. The introduction of Knightmares caused a vital shift in the momentum of the invasion; following only a month of combat, the Japanese Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi committed suicide to end the war and save the lives of his people. Without a leader the Japanese surrendered to Britannia. Under Britannian rule, Japan became known as Area Eleven and the Japanese people: Elevens. The capitol of Area Eleven is the Tokyo Settlement.However, The Viceroy of Area Eleven Clovis la Britannia, Third Prince of the Imperial Family, was assassinated while cleaning up the Shinjuku Ghetto Incident, when impoverished Elevens died in a mysterious lethal gas leak; following his demise, a new Viceroy was appointed. Clovis was known for throwing extravagant parties and painting masterpieces; however, the new Viceroy was rather reclusive. So reclusive in fact that his public bulletins used a voice changer and his televised speeches used a mask with a red eagle like sigil.
The students of Ashford Academy were frantically preparing for an important event. The new Viceroy of Area Eleven would make their first public appearance on their campus tomorrow. In the Student Council they were discussing Security Detail with a high ranking Officer within the Britannian forces. "Lady Ashford, what buildings would be ideal for numbered snipers?" The man asked as everyone examined a map showing where the stage would be. Taking out a marker Milly, the blond Student Council President, began circling buildings, "These would be the most likely vantage points. Especially this one," she pointed to the bell tower. "I see thanks for the input, I'll go consult with my own snipers to see if they agree. Good day, my lady." The man left, "So why did he ask for our help?" Shirley, an orange haired girl with an athletic build, asked. "Because we know the layout of this school very well."
"So, who should give the Viceroy their flowers?" Nina, a dark haired girl in glasses, asked as Milly looked around, being the President she already knew who the Viceroy was so with that in mind she picked, "Shirley!" Milly said as Shirley jumped up in shock, "M-Me? B-But President it should be you!" "Nonsense who better to receive them than our school's up and coming idol, Shirley Fenette." Milly said as she pulled out a piece of paper, "Now practice the speech!". "I have to give a speech?" Shirley asked as she took the paper, reading a little she turned red and threw the paper away, "M-Madam President that is not fair!" "But wouldn't it be great if he was the new Viceroy? I know you'd like it." Milly said with glee. "Um, who are you talking about Milly?" Nina asked as she finished her science project. "Hehehe, Shirley's idol, that prince." "O-oh him." Nina said as a light blush crossed her face, "I hope Euphemia becomes the Viceroy." "I should prepare my own speech, I'll take my leave now." Shirley said as she left the room
Several hours later Shirley sat on a bench watching the sun set, she had wasted quite some time trying to create a speech. Hearing footsteps she turned her head to see a boy dressed in heavy clothing that concealed his face, "Beautiful isn't it?" He asked her. 'That voice, I've heard it before, but where?' she thought as she turned back to the sunset, "Yes, this is my favorite spot. I like to come out here to think occasionally." Shirley told the boy who sat on the other bench. "I see, do you mind if I borrow your spot so I can think as well?" He asked as he turned to look at her. "I don't mind, I don't own the sunset you know." Shirley said with a laugh. "True, but usually people want to be alone when they think." "Yeah, I suppose you're right, my name is Shirley Fenette." "And I am... Jeremiah Lamperouge." Jeremiah said as he turned his head so Shirley could see his green eyes. Jeremiah extended a gloved right hand which Shirley shook. Shirley's phone beeped, "Oh my god is it that late? I gotta go." Shirley ran off but stopped, turned and yelled "Bye, nice to meet you!"
Milly walked out from behind a tree, "You shouldn't have lied to her like that, Lelouch vi Britannia." Lelouch stood as he removed the pieces of clothing that obscured his face, "Couldn't resist," Lelouch said as he removed his contacts. Turning his now purple eyes back to Milly he chuckled, "I'm glad I came here tonight, Marianne and Nunnally have been urging me to look for a lover. Maybe I can just say I found a possible candidate to silence them for awhile." "I think Shirley suits you very well. She is one of our school's idols after all; her beauty comes second only to mine and she has a nicely matured body." Milly said as she moved her hands in an hour glass shape. Lelouch chuckled as he turned away from her. "See you tomorrow. Tell your grandfather thanks for the new Knightmare."
The next morning the students were gathered near a massive stage, "All students, come get your raffle tickets!" Milly yelled over a speaker. Shirley sat on the edge of her chair as she looked out over the massive crowd, feeling a nudge on her shoulder she turned and saw Nina. Nina held her hand out and gave her a raffle ticket, Shirley reached out an unsteady hand and took it. '346' Nina then dropped to a knee to talk to her, "Remember Shirley, Milly and I are at the far back so if you start getting too nervous try focusing on us and speak only to us. Everyone gets butterflies, just don't get the big one and you'll be fine." Nina said as she walked back to Milly.
Shirley took a deep breath to ready herself for the massive crowd, looking over to her right she saw the officer from the day before turn to her and nod. Standing up she walked to the lectern, "My fellow students of Ashford Academy, for the past few months Area Eleven has had a reclusive Viceroy. Today his identity will finally be revealed, so without further adieu I present our Viceroy," A dark haired teen stepped onto the stage in Imperial garb, "L-Lelouch vi Britannia!" Shirley yelled as she became red. "Thank you," he said as he turned to the audience and held up his gloved right hand. "Students of Ashford Academy, and all citizens of Area Eleven! I am your Viceroy, Lelouch vi Britannia." The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. "Until now I have kept to the shadows, using disguises to blend in to your society. What I have witnessed is beyond appalling, Aristocrats dabbling in narcotics that prey upon the Eleven populace, the discrimination against the Elevens. Just because we achieved victory over them doesn't give us the right to rule over them as tyrants. The more they are treated as lessers, the more likely they'll flock under a resistance banner." This was met with scattered applause.
Lelouch took his seat next to Shirley as Milly took the stage, "Alright, to commemorate this occasion I have put together a raffle for the female students! The grand prize is to spend an evening with Lelouch himself!" Milly yelled as Lelouch raised an eyebrow, "So that's why she made a raffle." Shirley said quietly before realization hit her. 'An evening with Lelouch vi Britannia? That's a little-' "Who knows one of you ladies out there might be the lucky one and score the life you dream of." Milly said with a wink.
"Excuse me, Shirley I believe," Lelouch said as he leaned in close, "My mother and sister are throwing a party tonight, and I would love it if you were to accompany me." Lelouch whispered into her ear as she slowly turned red. "B-but what about the raffle? It wouldn't be fair to the other students if I did that without winning." Shirley said slowly, 'Oh but if I know Milly you will win anyway. And deep down, you know it too.' Lelouch thought.
"And now, time to announce the winner of our raffle," Milly removed a ticket, "346!" Milly said as Shirley jolted out of her seat. 'I won?' Shirley thought as she turned to Lelouch, who gave her a knowing smile.
