Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass or Rosario + Vampire, and the views expressed in this story do not match those of the author.
A/N: Thank you for everyone who has reviewed and before we get into this chapter everyone is advised to read all of the previous chapters because of some changes I have made to ensure I could do Akua and Lelouch which is the new main pairing with Monica and Mizore to be included in the planned harem with spots still open for other characters which will be a mix of Rosario + Vampire and Code Geass characters.
I am planning to introduce Yokai Academy soon along with Kallen and possibly C.C. as I am deciding on a good way to bring her into the story.
So before going into this chapter just read through the previous chapters otherwise you will feel lost going into this chapter.
I decided to delay Lelouch's transformation into a vampire for a few more chapters as I feel I was rushing things too quickly.
Anyway I'll stop talking and let you guys catch up before reading this chapter, its short but its preparing for what is to come. I also apologize for the long author note at the end, but I hope it will be the only one.
The incident that happened at the academy was unexpected, but it did prove Lelouch's prowess as a capable leader with the right followers under his command. However this was just the beginning of complications that would arise which I had feared would happen. Akua and I hid him well, but we both knew the longer we kept him in the shadows the harder it would become to keep others from noticing him.
Lelouch stands on the edge now where one wrong move could mean his end. I hope the young man will tread carefully, but more importantly he would become a full vampire very soon.

Chapter 5
Aftermath
Hours had passed since the incident at the Kyoko Military Academy which news of the incident spread throughout Japan like wildfire with various news outlets trying to determine and guess which group was responsible for what happened. Lelouch had reunited with Monica shortly after military forces from the Viceroy's office had arrived on the scene and cleaned up what had remained of the enemy. After ensuring that Lelouch was safe and was allowed to leave unharmed having managed to find a place to hide during the attack after the communication room he had been assisting the four teens in had been attacked by terrorists.
Thankfully news of him being there wasn't passed along, but those who knew at Ashford Academy was upon him after he had returned.
"Brother are you alright I heard what happened?"
Nunnally was on the verge of tears when Lelouch had returned home and almost ran him over with her wheelchair if he hadn't been careful walking in. Looking back it was probably fortunate that Lelouch had chosen not to tell Milly or anyone else with the exception of Sayoko and his younger sister obviously.
"I am fine Nunnally," Lelouch said affectionately patting his younger sister on her head, "I managed to escape the worse of it."
"Oh thank goodness you are alright." Nunnally said in-between sobs clutching her brother's arm.
"Take it easy Nunnally I am alright," Lelouch said allowing Nunnally to let it all out before the former prince could break away from his sister's grip, "anyway I should probably get cleaned up."
After grabbing a towel and some clothing to change into sleepwear, but in reality Lelouch planned on going out tonight to meet up with Naoto after helping him escape along with the survivors of his resistance cell. Lelouch knew he couldn't wait and needed to meet with Naoto quickly to collect the evidence he had proving Lord Isaac's involvement in today's events.
Naoto knows that even if he passed such information along to the right people it could be easily discredited, so he is possibly hopeful I can pass it along to even better people who could capitalize on it and expose him. Lelouch thought as he was making his way to the bathroom to take a shower, but as he was walking over there he bumped into someone he wasn't expecting.
"Uh…Lelouch what are you doing here?"
"Marika," Lelouch said genuinely dumbfounded by seeing the young military cadet wearing a simple purple shirt and black pants with a towel and some sleeping clothes rolled under her arm as she too had business in the bathroom, "I live here, but what are you doing here?"
"Oh," Marika said as she blushed, "I guess we didn't know you stayed here too."
"What do you mean by that?" Lelouch said as he began to realize where this conversation was heading.
"Marika is everything alright?" Monica asked as she had earlier changed out of her military uniform for more casual clothing consisting of blue jeans and a white shirt. A look of realization hit Monica's face when she spotted Lelouch with Marika.
"Oh I completely forgot…I am sorry I didn't mention it earlier but Lelouch and his younger sister live here."
"But why are you here?" Lelouch inquired, although at this point he suspected what the answer was.
Monica sighed before adopting a concerned and apologetic expression, "with my father dead and it being clear that there are people with influence in the military who want me dead as well along with Marika and Liliana being targeted it I thought it would be best if we hid ourselves for awhile so Ruben Ashford is sheltering us for a little while. Sokkia is here too since she is by all accounts a witness to events."
"I see…" Lelouch said calmly, but internally over a dozen alarms in his head was going off.
What the hell is Milly's grandfather thinking? If those who want Monica dead are still trying to kill her then Nunnally is in serious danger of not only getting killed, but our identities risk exposure which is a death sentence on its own anyway.
This only affirmed that Lelouch needed to take care of this matter involving Lord Isaac as quickly as possible. However Lelouch knew that someone else, whom he assumed was likely the Knight of Ten Luciano Bradley, who probably wouldn't give up on Marika and Liliana.
I can't rush this, but I must resolve this matter quickly.
"I certainly hope things will not be too crowded for you." Lelouch said while keeping the façade of being calm about this situation even though he was fully aware of the dangers their presence at Ashford Academy meant.
"Thankfully it seems that the Student Council building has rooms that have not seen much usage other than your rooms and the student council room." Monica replied, although she was worried it would be cramped living in the same building with Lelouch and Nunnally while the Student Council conducts its meetings.
"Well hi there Lelouch!" Sokkia said having overheard Monica and Lelouch talking deciding to make her presence known.
"Good evening Sokkia." Lelouch greeted kindly but within his thoughts he made a quick mental note to lock the door to his room tonight.
"So you live in this building too," Sokkia said with a mischievous grin appearing on her face, "how interesting so are you and Monica going to be spending more time together."
Monica's face turned a furious red at the comment, "Damn it Sokkia it's nothing like that!"
"Oh come on there is no shame in being interested in a guy, especially Lelouch since he is the first guy I have seen to…be promising," Sokkia replied with a grin that made Lelouch uncomfortable, but in a odd sense he was grateful that Milly was nothing like this.
"I thought you were of a…different persuasion?" Monica said eyeing Sokkia suspicious and knowing full-well of the times she had spent feeling up some of their female friends in the showers without their consent.
"Maybe I am," Sokkia said dodging the question, "I find the body of a girl more interesting than those of most guys, but that is not saying I don't hate them. I just find a majority of the ones I have met to be very lacking where it should count most while they focus on building up their muscles turning into arrogant idiots."
Lelouch began to slowly back away as some red began to appear on his cheeks.
Is she just messing with me to get a rise out of Monica?
Lelouch got an answer to that internal question either prompted by fate or just a stroke of bad luck he was suffering this evening as Sokkia quickly stopped Lelouch from leaving with putting one hand on his right shoulder.
"So Lelouch are you seeing anyone?" Sokkia inquired innocently, but Lelouch knew better and had seen Milly used a similar tactic before.
"No not really?" Lelouch answered bluntly.
"Really I would have thought someone like you would have women throwing themselves at you." The green haired teen commented with a look of genuine surprise.
"The problem is they do and I am not so swallow to simply accept them like that." Lelouch said with his eyebrow twitching in annoyance.
"I see," Sokkia smiled with approval, "how fortunate then you are not one of those girls that fall for the first girl who throws themselves at your feet. You got yourself a real keeper here Monica."
Is she just making me uncomfortable to make Monica admit her interest to me? Lelouch wondered, but he couldn't tell if Sokkia's interest him was just a tactic she was using against Monica or what she had in mind.
Lelouch felt he was ultimately better off not knowing.
Marika had taken this as a chance to enter the bathroom and quickly take her slower having been worried about Sokkia sneaking in. During the ongoing conversation involving Monica, Lelouch and Sokkia; Marika had cleaned herself up and changed into her sleepwear before leaving the bathroom.
"I am all done!" Marika said hurrying off before looking to Lelouch who silently said to him.
Use this chance to escape!
The former prince silently nodded as a sign of his appreciation, I owe you one Marika.
"My turn!" Lelouch said before running into the bathroom and locking the door behind him.
Lelouch was breathing heavily as he opened up a hidden compartment to pull out a specially made shower adapting containing herbs to make the water more favorable for him to use even through water didn't affect him as badly as other vampires. Still it made it easier for him to enjoy his showers, but his effort to relax had been ruined thanks to Sokkia.
Meanwhile inside his office within one of the towering office buildings in the Toyko Settlement, Lord Isaac was having a late night call with a man over video phone. He was alone in his office with only his private guards standing watch outside. The noble wiped some sweat away from his forehead with a tissue as he continued his conversation with the man on the other side who wasn't exactly pleased with the demise of the mercenaries he had hired.
Everything had gone smoothly until somehow Monica had survived and Marika and Liliana had escaped as well.
"I am not happy with this unforeseen failure Lord Isaac!"
The man who angrily reprimanded him was a man in his late twenties wearing an orange cloak trimmed with gold while under it he wore a white uniform belonging to those of Knights of the Round. The man has purple eyes and auburn hair fashioned in a mullet-like style with a single hair hanging down in the middle.
"Please forgive me Lord Bradley, but we don't know who or what killed the mercenaries." Isaac said pleading with the Knight of Ten Luciano Bradley for failing to complete his end of their arrangement in which the mercenaries would take out Monica's father and capture the two women he had his eyes on while Luciano in turn would use his influence and position to ensure the military didn't interfere.
"At this point it doesn't matter," a clearly annoyed Luciano declared before using his left hand to massage his left temple, "The Viceroy is taking the incident as a personal insult especially now that both the Prime Minister Schneizel and the Emperor are less than pleased than one of their military academies getting attacked like it did. Even more so when it was obvious someone had helped them provide their weapons."
"What do you mean?"
"You have one week to clean this up. Anyone who knew about your deal with the terrorists needs to be eliminated and Monica Kruszewski must be killed."
"We have been trying to locate her, but ever since the incident she has vanished along with the rest of her team."
"Then find them and deal with them. I don't care how at this point, but they must die before this week is over before she becomes involved."
"Who?" Isaac inquired sensing a reason behind the Knight of Ten wanting the matter cleaned up as he put it.
Lelouch exited the bathroom upon finishing his bath, but he took time to remove the specialized shower adapter and cleaned up the bathtub to mask any evidence of the herbs uses to avoid any questions being asked. He doubted anyone would notice, but considering he would have four extra people using the shower now he thought it would best to cover his tracks.
Waiting outside however was Monica.
"Monica," Lelouch said before noticing the neutral expression on her face, "Were you waiting for me?"
"Yes there was something I wanted to talk to you about."
"Is it related to what happened at the academy?" Lelouch inquired prompting Monica to nod her head.
"I know I thanked you for your help with helping direct our movements during that battle." Monica complimented before asking. "You have real talent you know as a military commander with the right troops under your command."
"Thank you," Lelouch accepted the compliment, but he realized where this conversation was heading, "however I have no interest in joining the military. Even as good as I am without any blood connections or wealth you know I'll likely never see any advancement in a military career."
Monica sighed with a disappointed expression on her face, but she knew that Lelouch had a point if the trouble Marika and Liliana had to endure in the academy was anything to go by.
"That is unfortunate, which I assume part of it is because of how the academy treats those with no real blood ties or wealth."
"That is one way to put it." Lelouch said in agreement, but his situation was a lot more complicated than that.
"Well if you are interested then there is someone who is looking for capable individuals who could let you avoid that." Monica began seemingly hopeful.
"What exactly are you suggesting?"
"After the incident at the academy today word has already gone straight to Pendragon on the matter, which has the Prime Minister and others in the royal court questioning Viceroy Clovis's ability to govern Area 11."
"I see, but I doubt they would be reacting like this unless there was something else."
Monica nodded her head, "Yes you are correct. Ever since Clovis has assumed the title of Viceroy he has not dealt with the resistance groups in Area 11 which has continued to plague and trouble the colony for years with the Japan Liberation Front being the most troublesome of them all."
"I see," Lelouch said as his eyes narrowed in understanding, "so basically the homeland has become fed up with Clovis's handling of resistance groups in Area 11."
"The fact that the resistance fighters could get their hands on Sutherlands coupled with the fact they have grown bold enough to attack a military academy next to a military base has them deeply concerned."
But that is not everything else is? Lelouch thought knowing the real reason those resistance fighters attacked, but Monica was probably keeping him in the dark about that for his own safety.
"So is Clovis being replaced?"
"No, but the Emperor and the Prime Minister are allowing for a new anti-terrorist organization that is being assembled to be given authority to operate in Area 11 as something of a trial run and to clean up the resistance and terrorists groups." Monica explained as Lelouch was curious as such information he could gleam about this group would be useful to him.
"Interesting, so who is heading it?"
"The whole organization is being assembled and spearheaded by Marrybell mel Britannia, and she is calling it the Glinda Knights."
Lelouch was surprised as he was familiar with Marrybell whom he had met during his mother's funeral who had come to pay her respects because she too had lost both her mother and her younger sister in a bombing at the villa they lived in. She had offered to shelter him and her sister under the Zevon Household where she was staying, but Lelouch declined not trustful of anyone especially other members of the royal family at the time.
This was cemented by the fact after he confronted his father the Emperor some time after the funeral of his mother.
"I haven't heard much about her?" Lelouch said, although it technically wasn't true but he wasn't aware of what Marrybell had done since his mother's funeral.
"I am not surprised because she hasn't made her public debut yet, but she has been trying to assemble the Glinda Knights for a few years now. She attended the military academy and began building ties with Prime Minister Schneizel and his organization Camelot."
"Camelot? An interesting choice name for an organization."
"It's officially called Britannian Special Research Division where has been working to develop new Knightmare Frames and related technologies."
"So this new organization is going to be armed with new Knightmare Frame models?" Lelouch inquired as Monica nodded her head, although kept an interested expression upon his face his mind was already working on processing this information.
New generation Knightmare Frames might prove to be a problem in the future, but for now there isn't much I can do about them. Still I should take them into account and see about obtaining machines on par with them for my own army.
"Marika, Sokkia and Liliana are being considered for the Glinda Knights along with me," Monica proceeded to explain, "my father was intending to provide supplies and logistic support for the Glinda Knights."
"I see," Lelouch replied with one hand on his chin as a sign of careful contemplation, "so you want me to join this group?"
"I don't want to force you, but I feel someone of your talents could be invaluable. I haven't mentioned it to the Princess yet, but I felt I should talk with you about it first."
"I appreciate that," Lelouch was internally relieved that Monica hadn't mentioned him to Marrybell as he feared it would lead to their identities and their survival being exposed, "however I am the only one around to care for my sister especially if Sayoko should no longer be charged with her care."
"I understand, but think about it for a few days."
"No promises I'll change my mind, but I'll consider it." Lelouch replied which seemed to relieve Monica a bit, but Lelouch had no real intention of joining but he reasoned that Monica was one bridge he best not burn especially if she was being so open with him about information regarding the Glinda Knights that could be useful in the future.
Across the ocean in the Chinese Federation, but more specifically within the safety of a western style mansion on the outskirts of Hong Kong a meeting was taking place. A young woman wearing a green and black Chinese Dress walked into a small room with a sofa where her parents a rugged man in his late twenties with a black beard and short hair covered with scars upon his face wearing a black dress shirt with matching pants sat. His wife appeared to be quite young appearing to be in her twenties was wearing a red and yellow, sleeveless Cheongsam with long black hair tied into a pair of buns on top of her head.
The young girl who was possibly fifteen years old sat on a chair before her parents, she had light green eyes and long black hair tied into a ponytail.
"Did you call me mother?" Ling-Ling Huang asked.
"Yes we did," Ten-Ten Huang replied, "your great-great-grandfather has become concerned about a situation developing in Area 11 as of late."
"We discussed the matter and we have decided to send you to Area 11 to investigate this along with another problem we have been growing concerned about." Ling-Ling's father Fei-Hong Huang explained to his eldest child.
"By myself?"
"No your grandfather is preparing a small army of Jiang Shi (hopping zombies) to accompany you providing both support and bodyguards for you." Fei-Hong answered before the door opened and a small man being much shorter than everyone else in the room walked in. He had long white hair and wore black circular sunglasses over his eyes wearing a white robe with bell-shaped sleeves and a black kimono-style robe underneath.
"I have already finished them, although I wouldn't advise leading them into battle against formidable opposition through since their effectiveness is limited." Touhou Fuhai, founder of the Huang Family and one of the Three Legendary Dark Lords known throughout the entire world for being the greatest sorcerer alive, said as he approached his great-great-granddaughter.
"Aside from the Miao Family being involved with a terrorist group taking shape in Area 11 we have become aware of another problem a friend of mines has informed me about."
"We have a insider with some of the cleanup crews for assassins in Area 11 thanks to an old friend of your great-great-grandfather," Fei-Hong began before adding, "recently they cleaned up a mess left behind by an assassin's protégé. Although they didn't inquire much into what happened the last target he had killed was inside a vault that had been opened from the inside with no sign of forced entry."
"Are you implying he was killed inside the vault and his killer simply opened it from the inside?"
"He likely hid in the vault to get away from him, but the young man who did it used Jigen-Tou (Dimensional Sword) to kill those men."
"What is more is that his mentor is Akua Shuzen who is Issa Shuzen's eldest daughter and part of the Shuzen Family of Vampires, but we know that in the past she was an assassin for the Miao Family." Touhou Fuhai added before saying, "However we are noticing she is going to great lengths to hide the existence of this boy from the Shuzen Family and the organization the Miao Family is allied with. We have also heard rumors of the Shuzen Family forming an alliance with this organization."
"So I am just to confirm the facts then?" Ling-Ling asked.
"Yes you are to do nothing that will expose your presence in Area 11, but if you can find out what you can about this boy. Contact my old friend Mikogami, he can provide you with some help when you arrive."
After he finished his discussion with Monica and went into his room to seemingly turn in for the night, but Lelouch waited until he was sure that everyone else was asleep before leaving to head for the Shinjuku Ghetto. Lelouch changed into his usual vampire grab of a black coat with a fedora hat and boots, but this time he wore a black mask in the visage of a smiling vampire to hide his identity.
They chose the inside of an old department store as their meeting place, a location Lelouch knew about during his time in Japan before the invasion. Lelouch cautiously made his way to the second floor which had once been filled with various clothes containing the latest fashions before the war and years of disrepair and looting destroyed what had once been a glamorous department store.
Lelouch found Naoto by a countertop that had once displayed expense perfumes.
"I was worried you weren't going to be here." Lelouch said using magic to disguise his voice.
"Yeah well I was worried either you were going to show up or an assassin would."
"Fair enough, but after this I would advise you to take your group and leave the Toyko area for awhile." Lelouch advised as he approached.
"Most of us have already left Shinjuku and after tonight we'll be heading north for awhile until this blows over."
"I wouldn't count on that," Lelouch said shaking his head, "I heard word that the Britannian Homeland is deploying some kind of new anti-terrorist organization to Japan for a test run. Rumor is they are going to be armed with new Knightmare Frame weaponry which they'll use for their hunt for resistance groups to collect combat data on."
"So our attack on the academy shook them up that much?" Naoto said surprised by the news their actions would have such an effect.
"It was that and Clovis's failure to address the problem of other resistance groups that finally had the Britannian Homeland fed up with his incompetence."
"I see…thanks for the warning then," Naoto said before reaching into his pocket to give Lelouch a computer disc, "that disc has everything including recorded video of our conversation with Lord Isaac and how we received the Knightmare Frames."
"I'll make sure this gets out publically so no one can cover it up."
"I hope so if only to ensure Isaac is dealt with because I know once he figures out not all of us were killed we'll be seeing the military rolling into Shinjuku."
"Then I won't delay you. You held up your end up the bargain and so I bid you farewell." Lelouch said as he turned to leave, but Naoto stopped him.
"Wait who are you? Do you fight against Britannia?"
"For now call me," Lelouch began before taking a moment to consider an alias to use, "call me Zero."
"As in nothing?"
"Yes it's most fitting for me, but as for your second question I do fight against Britannia. Although I am not yet prepared to wage an all out war against them, but my enemy isn't just Britannia…the powerful who oppose and take advantage of the weak are also my enemies."
"That is quite the claim, but will you live up to that?"
"Only time will tell, but maybe in the future when the time comes to wage war against Britannia itself I'll call upon you and your group to become allies for the army I intend to build."
"An army," Naoto said sounding doubtful about it, "well if you can impressive and show me that you can do it then I might just take up on that."
"I'll remember that." Lelouch replied smiling under his mask, although it was a risky move Lelouch knew he would need followers and having given them a hint of what he was capable of him could convince them to become his followers further down the road.
With his business completed Lelouch returned to Ashford Academy while planning how he would expose Lord Isaac and his crimes to Britannia at large without exposing himself.
However when Lelouch approached his room his vampire senses detected someone within his room, and it wasn't Akua or Zobek. Using the Jigen-Tou to pass through the walls before entering his room from another corner where the person lying in wait for him would not notice his presence. But before entering his own room Lelouch quietly cast and placed a barrier around his room to block all noise from within thus preventing anyone from outside his room to being alerted from what was happening inside. The barrier would also keep anyone from leaving until he lowered it.
Lelouch was quite surprised by who was inside his room.
The former prince turned on the lamp on his desk after quietly removing his mask and hat, "can I help you Sokkia?"
Sokkia was shocked when the light turned on, but more so when she turned around where she had been sitting on his bed. She had been waiting for Lelouch to return either through his door or the window.
"How did you get in here?" A shocked Sokkia asked as she recovered her composure.
"I have my ways," Lelouch admitted, but he had made sure everyone was asleep before he left, "but why are you in my room?"
"There is something I want to know," Sokkia demanded having recovered from the shock of Lelouch having sneaked back into his own room without using either the door or the window to get in, "just how did you survive the destruction of the observation booth unharmed?"
"I was lucky?"
"Oh don't bullshit me? And there is the station you used to communication to us with. It was shot to hell and a mercenary was found dead in there so how the hell did you pull it off?"
Lelouch calmly analyzed Sokkia's expression while waiting for her to finish.
"And just now where were you?"
The former prince despite being found out by Sokkia who despite her more free-spirited and perversion was more intelligent and insightful that he had given credit for he was surprisingly calm.
"You really want to know?" Lelouch asked causing Sokkia to nod her head.
Carefully weighing his options Lelouch decided to take a risk.
"I survived those attacks because I am a vampire."
A/N: well Lelouch has revealed his secret to Sokkia whom had snuck into Lelouch's room to confront him on his apparent survival during the attack on the Kyoto Military Academy while he has the evidence that will expose Isaac to Britannia at large for his involvement in what happened in the previous chapter, but Lelouch just needs to find a proper outlet.
And yes Ling-Ling is ALIVE and not an undead zombie, although I might consider pairing her with Lelouch with her new living status. Once again she is NOT a zombie in this story, so I don't want to hear any claims to the otherwise in reviews.
Between now and when the battles with Fairy Tale starts will be a deciding period, so which ever females build up the best chemistry with Lelouch wins their spot in the harem. So that is about two years for them to win his heart.
Now onto a question that has been asked and it regards the prospect of pairing Marrybell mel Britannia with Lelouch. I have posted a poll asking if I should consider it or not.
The reason I am polling it is because of the whole incest issue, which has me reluctant to do so. But I will let you readers decide if I should attempt it or not, however I would like to hear your exact reasoning to why you think it would work.
It's not like I don't acknowledge the possibility of Marrybell and Lelouch working out as a couple (quite the opposite I see ways it could work), if you ignore the fact they are related, but other than the incest involved it there are some problems I could see to prevent this pairing from working.
Given that they both lost their mothers to tragic instances involving terrorists which in Marrybell's case she lost her younger sister as well, but I am among those who suspect that Orpheus's lover was probably Marrybell's younger sister before demise likely taken secretly to be used by the Geass Order which is all but confirmed at this point unless new information comes to light.
They are both capable commanders and tacticians in their own right and both seek retribution against those they have lost their loved ones too, although their method and way they go about it is very different.
The problem I see is Marrybell's loyalty to Britannia, which is a difference between them that must be considered where Lelouch seeks to destroy it. However I don't doubt the tragedy that cost them a loved one when they were younger could give them some common ground to build from, which is dependent on everything else that happens in this story.
BUT I do want to make it clear that if I consider going ahead with this pairing don't assume I'll consider doing it for my other stories, which was another factor that had me against it. I dislike incest pairings between direct siblings, like Nunnally and Lelouch being an example, and I especially dislike incest parings between parents like Naruto and his mother for example. As such I hate pairings that pair a younger main character with another character's mother or father before any of you asks me about it.
Taking account relationships like the one I might do between Marrybell and Lelouch aren't uncommon in modern and past monarchies, although Britannia even hints at such relationships existing some scenes from the novels do hint that it's not generally encouraged probably wanting to prioritize a member of royalty marrying someone from outside of the royal family who has wealth and strong political influence with other groups and families to further his or her influence beyond the royal family.
That being said I am aware that such pairings aren't uncommon among vampires either in some stories.
I known even Tenchi Muyo has similar pairings all over the place if you look at some of the family trees, and unlike some other pairings I generally could see pairings involving Euphy, Marrybell and Cornelia working out with Lelouch taking the above into account and ignoring the fact they are related as half-siblings I could see them becoming close, although Cornelia would be a harder one considering circumstances of said story she is involved in and the age difference.
And lastly to quote something draconichero21 asked when he was faced with a similar issue in his Cornelia of the Defection story in the author notes of chapter 9.
"I'm hoping that at least some of those aren't votes cast with one hand on your mouse and your other hand somewhere else." - draconichero21
No offense to anyone intended.
I hope I am wrong, but I don't want sex appeal to be a deciding factor not just for Marrybell, but for the other characters I am considering for the harem with Lelouch and Tsukune.
So seriously besides just simply voting I really want to hear your thoughts on this matter in a review or a PM as it could be what sway me into attempting it as the polls alone probably won't be enough.
As for Euphemia I am planning on pairing her with Tsukune.
However the only thing that will keep me from doing the pairing is being able to actually write it, so we'll see…if I can't write it then I'll figure out something else or pair Lelouch with someone else in that case.
Anyway enough on that…vote and leave your thoughts in a review along with the rest of the chapter. Thank you all in advance.
