A different Code Geass

"Why did you never tell us you were alive? We would've came here immediately!" Cornelia asked hugging Nunnally tightly and then giving Lelouch a hug as well, although the male seemed uncomfortable with his sister so close. Poor Euphie was nearly dropped by her older sister in the Goddess of Wars haste to get to her previously thought dead siblings.

"Easy there runt." Guinevere said easily catching the pink haired princess before the girl could face plant the floor or the side table.

"Thank you Sister Guin. Nelly it looks like Lulu has a fiancé here, why would he wish to leave her and come back to Pendragon?" Euphemia asked smiling thankfully at her eldest sister who just smirked a bit.

"Because we're his sis…fiancé?" Cornelia's voice darkened noticeably as did her face when that word processed in her mind, her gaze hard and glaring at Milly who had been partially amused and mostly worried earlier and yet now looked completely unaffected by the glare on Cornelia's face.

"She's not my fiancé!" Lelouch yelped trying to keep his sister from picking a fight with Milly. He was worried what the spunky blond would do to his proud sister should a fight actually break out between them.

"Aw he's embarrassed to tell his sisters about his girl." Guinevere mercilessly teased her brother who was bright red again while Milly was ready to cackle again. She was getting so much blackmail and teasing material on her friend at the moment. If she wasn't worried about them being dragged off to the homeland then she would be exploiting this situation ruthlessly.

"There's nothing to tell you about!" Lelouch yelped embarrassed even as Euphemia hugged him and Nunnally.

"Only because you won't say three little words to her." Nunnally muttered, making Euphie squeal slightly at that even as Dalton came walking into the room looking amused but serious as he made sure the area was secure.

"Nunnally!" Lelouch obviously heard his little sister as well, as he nearly squeaked out her name in betrayal and embarrassment.

"So you're going to be my sister-in-law? It's good to see you again Milly!" Euphie said happy to see her old playmate again and making Lelouch just give up as Euphie hugged the slightly blushing Milly.

Poor Lelouch sank to the floor by the couch and buried his head in his hands.

"I hate all of you." Lelouch said making Guinevere and Cornelia both snicker slightly while Nunnally looked confused and Euphie pouted at her brother.

"Master Lelouch. I've brought enough tea for you and your guests, as well as Lady Nunnally's medicine." Sayoko said appearing out of freaking nowhere holding a tea tray, making everyone jump and Cornelia and Guinevere go for their weapons.

"Thank you Sayoko." Lelouch said glancing up at his maid/bodyguard and was honestly grateful that he wasn't the only one she could sneak up on like that. He swore some days that the woman was a ninja.

"Of course master. I'll have the snacks ready in just a moment." Sayoko said with a bow as she vanished immediately, causing Guinevere's eyebrows to shoot up while Cornelia and Dalton was gaping at how the woman could seem to appear and disappear out of thin air.

"How does she do that?" Cornelia asked staring at where the maid had been a mere second ago, causing Lelouch to snort slightly while Milly giggled as she served up the tea casually.

"I don't know and honestly I'm not sure I want to know." Lelouch said dryly as his siblings began taking seats around the room, Dalton standing guard by the doorway. Of course Milly and Lelouch made sure to sit on either side of Nunnally so that the Li Britannia sisters had to share the opposite couch and chairs with Guinevere.

Neither of the two wanted them all so close to Nunnally until they knew for sure what the three visiting princesses intentions were here.

"Sayoko is a ninja." Milly said even as she served the tea to the others, although Dalton refused some for the moment, before fixing a cup of tea for Lelouch. She didn't even have to ask how he preferred his tea as she fixed it by habit, something the three sisters noticed.

"Honestly if she is then I would not even be surprised anymore." Lelouch said accepting his cup with a smile of thanks towards Milly who smiled back without thinking about it. Cornelia glanced at Guinevere with a small raised eyebrow earning a smirk from the oldest female in the room.

As soon as they properly vetted the girl and made sure she understand any consequences she would face if she was merely using their rather clueless brother… the two of them were definitely going to play matchmaker if she stood up to muster.

"For snacks today we have Anmitsu and Mochi. Should I prepare something else master?" Sayoko asked appearing out of thin air again right in the middle of the room as she set down a second tray loaded down with sweets. Of course the three visiting members of Royalty and Dalton were surprised at the Japanese treats instead of something more…Britannian.

"No Sayoko, what you've made is perfect. Thank you… and you may wish to stop appearing so suddenly around Guinevere and Cornelia. They may accidentally shoot you if you startle them again." Lelouch said frowning slightly at the sisters that had immediately drawn guns at being startled again, even though Dalton had reacted the same way but quickly relaxed slightly.

He was still wondering how the hell the maid was doing that though, she never came near the door he was guarding!

"Of course Master. Should I stay for this meeting or would you prefer for me to go to my other duties?" Sayoko asked with a bow towards Lelouch and utterly seeming to ignore the others in the room.

"I'd prefer it if you stay. That way if anything happens you can ensure Nunnally's and Milly's safety." Lelouch said making the maid bow again as she moved to stand behind the couch that the three Ashford natives were sitting on.

"What do you mean if anything happens? We aren't going to attack you!" Euphemia was the first to say what the three sisters on the couch were all thinking as they looked at Lelouch a bit hurt or betrayed while he fixed a plate of snacks for Milly without even asking what she would like.

He knew which types of sweets she preferred by heart after all. Something else that two oldest sisters noticed.

"Sure you may not wish us harm however coming to us here means there is a chance that you were followed. It's entirely possible that this Zero man who killed Clovis may come after us next, or rather me since if he claims to be a protector of the weak he'll leave Nunnally be." Lelouch said causing his three sisters to finch at having not thought of what the masked terrorist might do if he found out that there were more members of royalty in the area. Unguarded ones at that.

"Of course that's not even counting the fact that, oh thank you Milly." Lelouch cut himself off to thank the blond when she fixed him a plate of Mochi without asking. Milly just nodded to him as she fed Nunnally a small piece of Mochi without even looking at Lelouch.

The older sisters were impressed with how in-sync the two teens were even though they paled when Milly finished Lelouch's last sentence. It was obvious they didn't really think this out after hearing that their beloved siblings were still alive.

"That's not counting the fact that Lady Marianne's murderer has not been caught even after seven years."

Cornelia in particular was upset about not thinking that through.
