Lelouch Vi Britannia

3RD person Pov

They hop on the horse and ride to the castle*

"It's reminds me of the first time we met"
CC muttered to herself.

"Yes it does
It's feels like yesterday now."

"Time really does fly"

To that Lelouch grits his teeth.
Upon noticing CC said no more.
Knowing what painful memory he may be having.

Lelouch POV

That night
I couldn't sleep.
If I did fall asleep from exhaustion I would wake up in cold sweat from the nightmares.
My brother face as he falls down is still fresh in my mind.

I killed him.
I think that's what is causing me to behave this way.
That scene...
Haunting me all night.
Then I see a shadow of a person.
I don't even know if I'm awake or not anymore.
It still startled me.
I jump up and was about to call the guards.

"It's okay
Lelouch
It's me"

"CC?"

" Yes"
I didn't even hear CC come in nor cal me until her hand was on mine.

"Are you...
No stupid question"
She goes silent and the room dark.

She hugs me.
" You said you wanted to be alone but you can not even sleep a day without me huh?"
She teased to lighten the mood.

I take a deep breath.
"That's right
I need my immortal witch by my side if I'm to be at ease."
I state pinching her cheeks.

"As you wish
My devious warlord
Sleep
I will be here with you "

I close my eyes as she makes both of of fall on the bed.
She's in top of my and already asleep.
Her peaceful breathing calmed me down.

So I closed my eyes.
When I opened them I was in the ocean.
Like the day I first met her.
Although that was a lake.

CC swam past me but turned around.
I looked at her.
Her hands stretches out to me.

"Come"
She said and I taker her hand.

She smiles and together we swam in the ocean.

I woke up with a start.

CC hands press me back down in the bed.
"Do not get up
You have a fever."

"I see"
No wonder I was feeling as if I drowning

My throat is dry and feels awful.
CC takes out something for me to eat and I do.

It looks like she made it herself.
Judging by the apron she still has on.
She could have let the maids do that.
Does she not trust some of them?

I tried to ask but she presses her finger on my lip.
"Shh
Not today
Rest Lelouch
I am your empress
I will take care of everything"

For some reason I needed to hear that and could relax now.
I close my eyes to rest.
CC places something cold on my forehead and also kisses it.

When I wake up it's already midnight.

C.C. POV

"Then investigation is needed.
See if he has really passed away
As well as his mother the previous empress"

"You wish to know all that?"

"Yes bring me very ounce of information you find no matter how small."

"Yes my lady"
The group of ninjas kneel before me and leave with haste to gather Intel for me.
