The Lion of Britannia (A Code Geass SI) Chapter I
August 2017 A.T.B.Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I had woken up to the sound of artillery and what seemed to be gunfire in the distance. Was I in some sort of war zone? I knew for a fact that I hadn't joined the military, as I was a simple university student.
Seeing I had awoken, a man who I assumed to be a Doctor based on his white coat rushed to my side.
"Thank goodness you are awake your highness," the man said to me in what seemed like a mid-Atlantic accent.
Why was he referring to me as "your highness" when I wasn't royalty. In my world most monarchies were overthrown and I was from the US where noble titles and Kings don't exist.
"You're h..highness?" I asked in a slurred and slowed fashion. It seems my ability to speak has been affected by my injuries. But what was worse of all was that the voice I heard was not my own voice. It was far deeper and foreign than my own which utterly alarmed me. Maybe this is just a hallucination from me being on so many pain-killers. In reality I'm just sitting at my local hospital after some sort of injury and as soon as I closed my eyes and-
"Why yes of course sire. You are Prince Maximilian el Britannia of the Royal Family, 4th prince of Britannia," he said interrupting my thoughts. My name was definitely not Maximilian. What Royal family is he referring to? I know for a fact that the Queen didn't have any sons or relatives named Maximilian. Plus I'm not even of European or American descent, so I don't know how he would confuse me with anyone of Royalty or Nobility. And who the heck is an el Britannia? Just what kind of Royal surname is this?
I looked at my arms, and the pale skin on my arms astounded me. None of this made any sense! Just what the hell is going on here!
"Well at least you were the fourth Prince," he said as his voice trailed off.
What do you mean by "were the fourth Prince!?" I said exasperated and alarmed.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news your highness, but it appears your brother Prince Clovis was assassinated by terrorists in Area 11," he said.
I had a brother since when? I was an only child, and I never had sibling named Clovis of all people. But that name...why did it sound so familiar? Prince Clovis? Britannia? That's a character from an anime I used to watch. And that's when it all clicked in my head. The pale skin, the royal titles, the name Prince Clovis, and Britannia......Dear God, I am in Code Geass!
Then did that mean I died in my own world then? I don't remember dying or losing consciousness. Did that mean I passed away in my sleep or something? And what about my family and all my friends? Will I never be able to see them again? Overwhelmed by all this new information I let out a scream of agony for I knew that this was my new life now and I would never again see those I cared about again. As my vision slowly turned into pitch black nothingness, I mused that perhaps this was all one bad dream, and I would soon wake up at home in my own bed when this nightmare was over.
