Lelouch stared at the child "V.V you say, what an odd name" he spoke trying to stay calm "So how did you get in here"

"You make it sound as if I am a criminal within Britannia" V.V answered

"Aren't you? Breaking and entering, trespassing on royal private property, need I go on?" Lelouch replied wanting to gain control of the conversation and direct it his way.

"It seems like you really don't know who I am, well I can't blame you i have kept my identity a secret, I am the emperor's brother in other words your uncle"

"Is he serious? this kid comes from no where and tells me he is my uncle? it's all to strange" Lelouch looks at the kid "Alright lets pretend i believe you why reveal yourself now?"

"It's because I need your help Lelouch, it is something only you can do currently and I will make it well worth your while" V.V spoke

"This is way i hate Britannia, not even a day goes by and I am already trying to be used like a tool" Lelouch said with a sigh on his face "And what if i refuse"

V.V looks at Lelouch "If you refuse then" he snaps his fingers and not even a split second later a man holding a gun to the back of Lelouch's head appears "You will have to die"

"Bastard" he said turning slightly able to see his attacker. he was shorter then Lelouch with brown hair and light purple eyes

"Relax Lelouch, it is just a measure so you won't do anything rash, after all I know you won't want to refuse, I know you want what i offer" V.V said with a smirk on his lips "For what I offer is a way to return your beloved sisters eyes and legs"

Lelouch froze in place starring at the kid "Y-you can help her? How? Everyone said it was impossible"

"People would also say what you can do is impossible, I know you have gained a power called Geass"

"Geass, it can help her?" Lelouch asked

"Yes it can. All i ask is that you become the viceroy of area 11 and obtain the women who granted you the power" V.V stated

"She is dead though, I saw her die with my own eyes" Lelouch responded still a bit shaken and filled with hope for her sister

"She is alive, she is an immortal witch. Geass is a mystical power as you can see using it she has survived and using it I can return what your sister has lost" V.V spoke as he waved his hand signaling Rolo to vanish "Do we have a deal?"

"I just need to bring that women to you right?" He asked as he stared at the boy

"That's correct, but there are a few things you must do, first is not let anyone know we made contact, second you cannot use your Geass while in Britannia if you do I will kill you, and third you will not pull a stunt like you did last time in front of Charles, so behave yourself like a proper Britannian prince" V.V finished talking as he turned around and left

As V.V left Lelouch bit his lip annoyed by the situation "I am to dance to that child's fiddle, no matter if it means i can restore Nunnally i will do whatever it takes" Lelouch turns around and heads out having had to walk to the villa that Euphie was currently residing in.

"Oh your finally back" Euphie spoke with a grin "We were talking about what you guys were doing for 10 years, you all had quite the experience"

"Yea but being on the outside of things really showed me a lot" Lelouch spoke smiling as well. Dinner came and went as the day grew later. Lelouch and Euphie put Nunnally to bed as they sat outside "things are sorta like how they use to be aren't they" Euphie spoke with a dishearten smile

"Some things just cannot be like how it was in the past Euphie" he spoke looking down

"You must hate us for what we put you through" Euphie also looked down trying to keep her smile

"You can't hate everyone from one bad experience but it can show you whats rotten" Lelouch said griping his hands together

"Hey" a voice spoke as he approached the area Lelouch and Euphie were sitting in "I figured i would find you two here"

"Oh hey Clovis" Euphie spoke smiling trying to hide the current heaviness of the conversation

"So how does it feel to come back Lelouch" Clovis asked

"It feels a lot more stiff and confining then it use to" Lelouch spoke with a sigh "and since I am back I don't know who I can trust because i do not want to become political tools again and I refuse to become a casualty of royal ambition"

"Well you got us" Euphie smiled cheerfully "and Cornelia I am sure, and Schneizel"

"No i rather not include those two at the moment, from what i been hearing on the outside those two have the highest potential of become the next rulers of Britannia, and it is for that reason I rather not rely on them"

Clovis giggles a bit "from the sound of it you also want to become Emperor"

Lelouch just shrugged his shoulders "now like I can, I already gave up my claim" The three just giggle and continue to talk about the past and the present. the next day once Lelouch awoke and ate breakfast with everyone he was summoned but not by the Emperor but by the Prime Minister "So he arrived then" Lelouch shrugged as he was escorted to the Prime minsiter

Upon arriving he was greeted by a big room with two couches and a small table between them "Greetings Lelouch, it is so nice to see you again" Schneizel said smiling at Lelouch

"You as well" Lelouch said "so what does the great Prime Minster want with a cast out Prince?"

"Straight to the point I see, you really haven't changed. Very well it is to let you know that father plans to give you back your claim to the throne I just thought i should warn you now so you know what to expect" Schneizel said

Lelouch was shocked "why, honestly I rather not have it. It only invites trouble and it will put Nunnally in danger. You know there are very many reasons why I don't want it and why i gave it up in the first place"

"Lelouch, we feel by doing this it will give you wider variety of allies. It may be the best way to protect you and Nunnally. If you were just a normal prince without any claim to the throne and no power within the court you would be once again sent to a country for political gain or be married to another country. I am saying this as your brother Lelouch you have to at least make it look like your striving for the throne. This is also how Euphie hasn't been married off, because of Cornelia and the same can be applied to you and to Nunnally. If you have the skills to become the next Emperor then you can protect what you can protect what you wish to protect" Schneizel said calmly to Lelouch

"Schneizel, would you like to play a game of chess? I am sure you have enough time for one game with your brother. I wish to confirm a few things with you" Lelouch said trying to divert the question right now to give himself time to think

"I think i can spare one game against you" Schneizel said as they set up a chess board with Lelouch as black and Schneizel white. . The first few moves go by with both players losing important pieces and the game remains pretty tied until Lelouch moves his king "You move the King?" Schneizel asked

"If a king does not lead how can he expect his subordinates to follow" Lelouch replied

"Interesting strategy, I will do the same" Schneizel moves his king up one and Lelouch continues to do the same until they are one space away

"Sorry Schneizel looks like you can't progress any further, It wasn't my intention but shall we call this game a tie?" Lelouch asked

"Lelouch, you have certainly improved over the years but you must never underestimate the white king" As she spoke Schneizel moves his white king in front of Lelouch's black King

Lelouch looks at Schneizel angrily "What are you doing? Handing me a victory, I refuse to be looked down upon and accept this charity" Lelouch moves his King back

"You know Lelouch the emperor would of taken the king" Schneizel spoke seeming to lose interest in the game

"I don't care about that" he looked pissed at Schneizel as he turned around to walk away

"Before you go Lelouch, about the claim to the throne" Schneizel called

"Yea, yea I'll accept it, but if you think I will owe you one for that your wrong" Lelouch spoke before returning to Euphie's villa. "I'm back" Lelouch said

"Welcome home big brother" Nunnally said happily "I was teaching Euphie how to make origami birds"

"It is a lot harder then it looks" Euphie smiled trying to make the birds "so how did it go with Schneizel?"

"I-I can't really talk about it right now" Lelouch said looking down "sorry but i need to prepare for my audience with the father" He went into the bedroom he was using to sort out his thoughts

"Big brother seems to have a lot going on every since we came back" Nunnally said to Euphie

"Yes and it seems he will only get busier" Euphie said with a slight sigh

The time came as Lelouch was outside the huge gates that lead to the throne room. 10 years ago he went through these gates and it made him see a new light within the empire. "Now announcing his royal highness Lelouch Vi Britannia"

Lelouch began walking toward the emperor with whispers swinging all around him.

"It is surprising to see the prince still alive" one man said

"Still what can he do now that he is back" a women spoke

"He was able to survive for 10 years during the occupation" another women said

as Lelouch kneels before the emperor, the big man began to speak "Former 17th in line to the imperial throne Lelouch vi Britannia it has been a long time hasn't it"

Lelouch could only nod remembering his promise to V.V "It is your majesty"

"It seems you might have grown while in Japan, did you perhaps learn the true meaning of Britannia" the emperor asks looking at his son

"I sure have. its corrupt and rotten right to the core" Lelouch stands up in front of his father "I have, being royalty means having the power and from what I learned is that to do what you need to you need power and for me if there is someone i want to protect then I need even greater power to protect them"

The emperor looks at his son thinking "That is, an acceptable answer since you were able to survive for 10 years and have shown amazing skills at both perseverance and adaptability. I see no reason to not reinstate you with your birth right to the throne 17th in line to the throne Lelouch Vi Britannia"

Many of the audience was not actually expecting this for the information was highly restricted at the time "I thank you father and I will not let you down. I do have a request then. I would like to return to area 11 as Viceroy. Having been there for 10 years I can understand it greatly and feel more comfortable there"

The emperor look at Lelouch a bit curious "I see no reason, alright I grant your request." Lelouch bows to his father before being dismissed and heading back to the villa to tell Nunnally of his plans for the future"

Didn't get as far as I wanted and I keep writing myself into corners that's why this chapter took so long.
