Hey! Code Geass is like the best anime ever for me though I personally would prefer if it had a little less bloodshed. So this is my take on the story. Hope you all like it.

This is my very first story. All suggestions and reviews are welcome.

It was a peaceful day in the Aries Imperial Palace, the sun shone brightly around the palace grounds, a subtle wind blew through the trees, birds chirped around and continued with their early morning duties. This was the true form of the world without the rampaging war in all corners of the world.

It was on such beautiful days that Lelouch vi Britannia truly felt like he was in a beautiful world instead of one filled with deceit, lies and war. Growing up in a royal family he was well aware of the power struggle between his half-siblings and the concept of survival of the fittest. Thus was his mask of displeasure towards the entire world.

Only at times in the mornings when he was truly alone would he take in the beauty of nature. Well he might have been an introvert but there were only three people in the entire royal family who knew his true feelings- his lovely mother Marianne vi Britannia, his sweet little sister Nunnally vi Britannia and his half-sister Euphemia li Britannia- his three angels in his self imposed solitary life.

Other than theses three ladies his only other confidant was Earl Lloyd Asplund. Even though the earl was about twelve years older than him he was probably the only one among the nobles who didn't care much about power and discrimination on the basis of nationality. Lelouch often wondered whether this was because of his extreme interest in the wonders of science or because of the fact that he had travelled around many places around the world in disguise. He had pondered on this subject many times but never came to a solid conclusion. Still the Earl's inquisitive nature amused him to no bounds and he often found himself spending his time with the Earl when he was not travelling. He was also very sure that when time came the Earl would be more loyal to him and his sister than any other of his half-siblings. Of course it was also because his mother mostly funded the Earl's scientific debuts.

He did have a little affection towards his other siblings but it was almost as if his affection towards them was forced. Surely Odysseus was a father like figure for him, Clovis was snob but made sure to spend some of his time to play with Lelouch, he did respect Cornelia for she idolized his mother and Schneizel was the only true opponent to challenge his tactical mind. Some of his siblings like Guinevere were neutral and he didn't get to spend much time to spend with them to understand them properly, though he was fairly sure that they too looked down upon non-Britannians with disdain. And then there were others like Carine whom he despised with all of his heart for they were too haughty and always looked down upon him and his sister for their mother was a commoner unlike their father's other consorts. They were too selfish and cared about nothing but materialistic pleasures of being Royals. For them other people's life was nothing of their concern and would give the order of killing thousands without any remorse.

Looking back at the clock on his table Lelouch realized that he was running late from meeting his mother and sister coming back from the gardens. Oh how many times did run late due to his over analyzing of his miserable life?

He quickly got off from his bed ran off to brush his teeth, quickly took a shower and the put on his royal robes. Motioning his personal guards to follow him he briskly walked off towards the courtroom.

Although he was in a light mood and was also humming to himself he couldn't fathom the uneasy feeling of dread in the bottom of his heart. Quickening his pace he stormed into the courtroom to meet his mother and sister. In his hurry he started descending the stairs without even looking down. After pacing down a few steps a rusty smell entered his nostrils, he turned to his right only to find that his guards had stopped following him.

That was when he looked down to the bottom of the stairs only to see the most gruesome scene, a scene that would turn his life upside down.

How was it till now? Should I continue? And did I get all the characters properly? Lelouch may seem a bit OCC but he is only a 10 year old child.

Do review.
