The New Servant for a New Earl(Closed to with @emilytrancy )
Lelouch had wondered the land for years on end. Traveling from one side to the world to the other, eventually finding himself in Great Britain. The air and environment around was much different from what he remembered but what could you except from a being that had lived for over a hundred years and still had look of a young teenage boy. Still he would continue on his bath to search for the one person he had on his mind.
While walking around this nation he would eventually stumble a large estate building. He wander on in around back before eventually collapsing from exhaustion in what would be the garden area of the estate. He would slowly lose consciousness and fall into a deep slumber unaware of who's home he had stumbled into.
They did. But not without the help of 3 very powerful individuals. Two were the first of homunculi kind, often referred to as the progenitor homunculuses, or Father and Mother of Homunculi kind, and the last... A very powerful and high ranking demon. With the power of Progenitors and The gifted power from the Demon, they managed to storm the Kings city and castle and win there freedom and autonomy.
Emily smiles a bit at that not bothered by it. “I’m assuming there is a twist to this? No? There’s always a good ending but afterwards there’s not.” She whispers looking at him worriedly lightly putting a hand to his for some comfort.
After battle was 0ver, the Now King and Queen of the Homunculi people turned to face Demon they have summoned for help. They knelt down and board their heads before saying."Oh Demon to whom we have summoned. We Thank The For assisting Us and Breaking our chains of Oppression. We offer our lives to you, in exchange for the power who have offered our people."The demon would grin before approaching them, and slowly reach for them. Excepting Death Befall the King and Queen they would open there eyes to see that Demon had simply took a Snippet of Both Their Hair. The demons grin would fade to a kind Smile before saying."Your Dept is paid, Oh Queen and King of The Homunculi."it said. I'm confusion the two would ask why take such offering as payment. Surely there is more you wish to take."The two would ask. The demon would simply smile and say."I was watching you day you were created. I saw your kind live peaceful and happy lives all while under the oppression of the Former King. All to watch everything be taken away from you. Your lives, Your family, your children, even your own autonomy. For this I felt grief and pity for your kind. It reminded me of the time where we high ranking demons were cast from heaven, and abandoned by the God's. Even the God's you Prayed to had Forsaken you. That's when I decided, I would not let history repeat itself. Thus I came to you when you called."Immediately after the King, Queen and rest of there people would sob and thank the Demon for being so kind, but there troubles had yet come. Just a day later after the Demon departed. All pregnant homunculi Women, suddenly went into labor. 3 grueling hours of pain while trying give birth to there children. And almost all the children born that night, we're stillborn. Some were born with very short and limited lifespan compared to most other homunculi, and even fewer were born without any issues. Eventually the God of Man would speak from on high say."Dare Thee these Abominations turn on my my most Greatest Creations. This will not do. Listen Well Homunculi, you are now cursed with infertility. Out every 1,000 homunculi families only 5 may have healthy children. The others will die at birth, or be cursed to live short uneventful lives. Farewell abominable creatures. May we never meet again."and with that all homunculi females were given the brand's on there bellies showing them that they could not longer have children amongst themselves. Among the dead Children, was The King and Queens very own daughter. The Homunculi mourned the death of their children and before building a massive graveyard for all those that had died during birth. But after this, they swore hatred upon the God's. Never will they pray to them, never will they worship them, and never will they bend to their will.
Emily furrows her brows as she hears of the children dying and the lives of the homunculi being cut short. She watched and listen to how they swore off their god. “But it wasn’t the god.. the demon took the hair.. demons feel no oity?” She asked confused on this part.
that's true to some regard, but for someone reason this did feel pity for the homunculi. And as far as I Know, Gods were appalled that something not of there own making managed to beat there own perfect creation. Either way the Demon did feel pity for them and even attempted to lift the curse, but it was to no avail. A curse planted by the God's can only be removed by the God's themselves.
Emily thought for a moment. “All because they wanted to be free? That’s… messed up.” She spoke quietly looking up at him quietly.
“Are you…” She doesn’t finish it finding that would be rude, awkward, abrupt.
He smiled before saying."Am I one of these aforementioned people, well... Yes I am, but I'm also not. I am what some folk call a Half Breed. My father was a Homunculus, while my mother was human."he stated with a smile.
Emily smiles a bit and looks almost guilty as she spoke. “Then why help me? I’m human.. it’s not like we have a track record of being kind to your kind and such..” Her voice was ever so gentle.
"Well as stated before, I'm a half Breed. Though my homunculus blood runs thicker then my human blood, that doesn't mean I'm any less human then you or anyone else. And because of that, I won't allow our kinds past dictate my own future. And shouldn't as well. You shouldn't let your father's actions or your past decide what you want for yourself.,he said standing up and smiling."It's hard not relive the past, trust me I know, but you gotta start looking ahead instead of looking behind you all the time. And who knows, by looking ahead, you may see something that you never though you'd truly be able to see like before."
Emily laughs a bit and smiles at him. “I’ve never met someone forgiving before.” She watched him. She thinks for a moment. “I… I have made my decision.” She spoke to him looking at him stand
Lelouch would smile before saying."And what would that choice be. Know that whatever choice you make, even if don't understand it, I will respect your decision my friend."he said with a kind Smile still painted on his face.
Emily smiles and nods looking at him. “I’ll take your offer.” She slowlg looks back at the manor then him holding out her hand.
Lelouch would smile before saying."Very well." As he reached forward and took her hand, and pulled her into his arms before slowly beginning to walk towards the gardens with her by her side."Do note that once we leave, there likely hood, you may not be able to see your father again, for quite sometime. Are you, ok with that Emily?"
Emily follows him and stays close. She walked with him her body near him as they kept walking through the garden. “I doubt he will notice…” She spoke but there stood one obstacle.
Claude was standing a few feet infront of them. “She’s not going no where.”
I was wondering, when you'd finally show up."Alfred said hiding Emily behind him."But your not stopping me Claude. It's clear she no longer wants to be tied to this place."he said staring him down.
Emily felt LeLouch pull her behind him and she gasps and looks at Claude. She grips his arm a bit.
Claude light growled. “I have direct orders to follow. I won’t let you stop me.”
"She's made her choice Claude, I suggest you respect her wishes. And I know Damn well, these orders you were given, are mostly fake. I know what you are after all, and I will not allow you to claim this quarry. For once you'll have to make do with just your masters." He stated while staying on guard.
Emily looks confused. “What you are?” She asked looking at Claude with a tilt of her head. Granted she knew she would be ignored.
“Then I guess I’ll have to kill you..” Claude gets ready cracking his neck.
"I'd, highly suggest you not kill me. Not necessarily for your sake or mine. But for rather the fact is rather not Emily see certain side of me I have not shown in quite sometime. So Claude I ask you this once more. As member of the Homunculus Race and friend towards your kind, let us pass. There should be no need for bloodshed."He said walking forward a bit with arms stretched open, seemingly showing him that he was not going to fight him.
Emily was listen to how Lelouch story. She made the connection. Claude was a demon. She lived with a demon her whole life.
“I don’t care.” He lunges for him.
Lelouch simply smiled as he doesn't move an inch as Claude lunges for him. Feeling Claude rip through His torso and impale him with his hand, the young lad would cough up blood before saying."You really are... A selfish... and greedy creature... But even still... I forgive you... But... My brother... Isn't as forgiving... Claude...."Lelouch would say before soon falling limp and succumbing to his wound.
Emily witnesses this and covers her mouth. “LELOUCH?!” She goes over to him. As Claude slings him to the side.
Claude grabs Emily and jousters her over his shoulder getting her dress covered in blood
As they were walking off, Lelouch blonde hair would soon begin fade and turn a dark midnight black. Followed the loud sound of crack and snapping bones. When turned around, they could Lelouch slowly rising to his feet in a rather macabre fashion. He'd turn his head towards Claude before staring up towards the sky and began to laugh loudly and maniacally."YEEESSSS! FREEEEEDOM, HAHAHAHAHAHAAA"he laughed as looked towards the moonlight sky."It's been years since dear brother gave me control! Oh how I longed to be able to move around on my own again, AHAAAAA!!!!"Lelouch would say as he danced around like some sort of madman. Though the way he spoke, his mannerisms, even the tone of his voice was completely different from how Lelouch usually was. It was like they were looks at an entirely new person.
Emily was struggling in Claude arm with tears streaming down till she could hear the bones snapping. That’s when she was able to break free and Claude put his body in between Lelouch and Emily.
Emily was watching and tilts her head confused. Her dress stained with Lelouch blood
He'd turned towards Cluade before frowning a bit and saying"Oh so brought me out for work, that no fun, no fun at all."he said leaning toward with body hunched over. From the way he was moving, it looked as if he was some type of contortionist."Well oh well, at least I get the pleasure of killing a demon."he said with a rather sick and twisted grin painted in his face, before proceeding to rush forward, throwing a hail of punches at the demon.
Emily was watching from behind in the middle of a panic attack. She saw someone killed and now some, someone from him is attacking Claude.
Claude dodges all but one good one gets him and knocks him back
