This is my Christmas Code Geass fanfiction. Depending on my mind, this may be a really long fanfic.

Lelouch Lamperouge becomes the 99th emperor of Britannia. How will he react when his favorite maiden leaves him? Did she really run away? What is her motive?

An original fanfiction by Tsukiyo-kun. Please read from the bottom post and work your way up.

Redemption Temptation

Why do I contaminate everything I touch? Why am I the only one who really is a monster?

I examine my hands, searching for an answer. Finding none, I lower my hands. It has been 23 minutes since Lelouch left. I sigh in an attempt to relieve my guilt. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help. I stand up and walk towards the dining room for dinner.

The dining room is on the second story. As I descend the stairwell, I can’t help but to think about Lelouch. I hate manipulating his feelings unconsciously. I never meant to do that to him. I silently sulk as I enter the royal dining room.

As I stride across the marble floors, I realize that I’m not alone here. I take an empty seat away from everybody and begin to fill my plate. I don’t even bother making any contact with others. I am still in a self-pity mood.

“Leave that pathetic human. He’s no good for you. If you don’t, I just might have to eat him for breakfast tomorrow.”

My eyes widen with fear as I recognize the voice. I know that voice from anywhere! It’s that bastard Beyond Birthday!

“Why should I listen to you?” I respond defiantly.

“Because, if you don’t do as I say your precious human, Lelouch, might never see another day again. You won’t want that now, would you?”

“Do you really think that I would allow you to do such a thing?” I spat testily.

“Well, if I don’t get to him, the Senate will. The last time I checked, you couldn’t even protect your arm from me. What makes you think that you can save the live of a human boy?’

I swallow a lump in my throat as the truth sinks in. I couldn’t even save my arm being torn off seven years ago. I haven’t improved at all in those seven years. I’m just a hindrance to Lelouch. I will only become the cause of his death. I can’t protect him from the vampire Senate either.

“This is your chance for a new beginning, a blank slate, a fresh start. Just run, run far away.”

I don’t turn around as Beyond Birthday silently slipped away. Can I really save Lelouch and have a clean start? Is this my only chance for redemption?
