@lablade asked for headcanons of Lelouch when he was a prince so here they are! (Thank you for sending me a request, I’m so sorry it took me so long, I never knew I had a message until today!)
Lelouch was a pretty playful kid, but knew when he had to be serious and act mature. He rarely, if ever, stepped out of line.
Secretly disliked being royalty and would often confide in Euphie how he felt (she felt the same way.)
Really eager to see what world outside of Britannia was like and would daydream about it a lot.
One time Cornelia noticed him reading books about the world and brought back several souvenirs for him.
After being exiled he still kept them. He wouldn’t admit it out loud but they still mean a lot to him.
When he was younger, and prior to his mother’s death, he often looked up to his father as a powerful figure and hoped he would be able to follow in his footsteps some day.
Very close to his mom, totally a momma’s boy.
Since his siblings were all older than him and his parents were often busy, he became very close to the servants and would often hang out in the kitchen with them.
Also his favorite hiding spot when he felt lonely or sad.
But he spent most of his time with Nunnally and Euphie. They had sleepovers a lot. Euphie would braid Nunnally’s hair and Lelouch would read to them.
They’d explore the castle together and play hide and seek but inevitably get lost.
