Title: Black Dahlia
Summary: Her whole world had been ripped from her after the death of her mother and younger sister. Then she was tossed to the side like garbage after demanding justice that was rightfully deserved. She would make them all pay, even if it cost her this wretched life she had been left with. They would all BURN!
Disclaimer/Author's Note: I don't own Code Geass, because let's be honest. If I owned Code Geass, R2 would've turned out waaaaay differently. Lelouch would be somewhere safe and sound away from anything that could harm him, and everyone who betrayed him would be burnt at the stake. (◡‿◡✿)
Chapter One – They will Burn
"And now...farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude. I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked."
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
Lucrezia vi Britannia, the 3rd princess of the Holy Britannian Empire hadn't moved from the spot where she had witnessed her blinded and crippled sister draw her last breath. It had been several hours since her little sister, Nunnally vi Britannia, was pronounced dead. Hours since the Imperial doctor had pulled the pristine white sheet up to conceal the lifeless body from her devastated gaze. But even then, she hadn't moved an inch.
She just sat there in the dark hospital room, completely silent.
"…"
Amethyst eyes stared blankly at the covered body of her sister as she held a limp hand in her own. She felt nothing but coldness that had begun to take a hold of the once warm appendage of her little sister. Lucrezia's pretty face was completely devoid of the inner turmoil that ravaged her.
Nunnally, her sister was dead; a result of her injuries received from the terrorist attack on their home a few weeks prior.
Marianne vi Britannia, their mother and the current (late, Lucrezia reminded herself bitterly) wife of the Emperor was dead; as a direct result of the terrorist attack on the Aries Villa.
As the daughter of the 98th Emperor, her life had been secure and peaceful. Then her mother died and the illusion was shattered right before her very eyes. It became quite clear that without their mother's protection, she and Nunnally had been left to the wolves known as the Nobles.
'Or it would've been that way if Nunnally had lived, now it will only be I who will have to endure this punishment for my momentary loss of control and the vi line's fall from grace…'
Yes, the 3rd princess had indeed acted foolishly in the few days following the death of Marianne vi Britannia and the crippling of her sister. Thinking back on her uncouth behavior, Lucrezia couldn't help but cringe.
Distraught and grieving over the events that had torn her world asunder, the 10-year-old princess had noticed that despite the great tragedy that had befallen them, there was no real search being conducted to find the terrorists responsible.
It hadn't made sense to the black-haired girl.
Her mother was the Empress!
Those terrorist had somehow gotten into the Aries Villa, which was basically a stone's throw away from the heart of the Pendragon Imperial Palace. It was a slap in the face to the Britannian Empire, the Emperor himself!
Why wasn't there more being done to get justice for her mother and sister!?
Fear and disbelief of the nonchalant way everyone else were treating the assassination of her mother and near assassination (though she wondered if she should consider it successful since she was now dead) of her sister swiftly turned into Rage and suspicion. And these feelings continued to grow until she couldn't take it anymore.
She needed answers!
Her pride as a member of the royal family demanded that she find out why her life had been torn apart, and why there has been no retribution!
Lucrezia had requested an audience with her father, and during the time she had to wait the fury only seemed to fester instead of cool down.
Why did she need to wait to see her father?
Wasn't he aware of what exactly has happened?
Her mother, HIS WIFE was dead!
Murdered in cold blood in their own home!
Her sister, his youngest daughter, had been crippled and confined to a hospital bed!
Yet her father didn't care, didn't even shed a tear when she had told him the news. The coldness in his eyes stunned Lucrezia, as well as him inquiring once again as to why she had requested his audience over something he already knew. After everything that had happened, after having her happy life be ripped from beneath her, she couldn't take the sheer callousness that her father had shown towards her plight.
She was her mother's daughter, and she could only take so much. It was after hearing those words that her grief and rage had erupted into a maelstrom of chaos.
How could her father be so heartless?!
Did he not care?!
Why wasn't anything being done?!
Why weren't the terrorist who did this being executed for their assault on the imperial family?!
Did he really not care of the fact that his wife was dead, and that her youngest daughter would have most likely live the rest of her life blind and wheelchair-bound?!
DID HE NOT CARE ABOUT THE PAIN SHE WAS EXPERIENCING?!
The final pieces of her world were destroyed as he stripped her of her title, and told her of what her new role would be.
A hostage, give away to the Japanese in order to be something useful.
Lucrezia grit her teeth and clenched her free hand into the long skirt of her gown.
Utter hatred burned in the violet eyes that she had inherited from the man, who had went from one of the most important people in her life, to someone she would despise with all of her heart till the day she died.
Lucrezia vowed to herself that she would make him regret this; make all of them regret doing this to her!
The nobles, her half siblings, EVERYONE!
…even if it cost her this wretched life that she was left with.
She would see them all BURN!
Ha ha, I really have no idea where this idea came from. Seriously I don't…Sorry I'm a lying liar who lies. I do know why, and it's because of the VERY probable return of Lelouch in the upcoming Code Geass season this coming Fall! WHOOT! As you can tell, this is just the beginning of an idea for a story I had written a long time ago, and I'm not exactly sure if I'm going to continue it. I guess if people seem to like it then I could give it a try…I guess we'll see.
