Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 34: Welcome Home

Imperial Hall. The Emperor was leisurely sitting on his throne with his Empress on his lap, feeding him grapes, multitudes of blue screen in front of them. Shahrazad smiled lightly:

"They look like they are done."

"You want to come with me?"

"No, I should get their 'family' ready…"

He hugged her as he whispered:

"Our Family…I always want you to think of us as that."

"A big Family that reprimands each other, get into fights, but ultimately cherishes each other and Lead the Greatest Empire to ever exist!

"Is that why you didn't get enraged by Euphemia's boldness?

He nodded:

"Umu! Umu! I know she has my best interests in my mind so I will tolerate some of her outbursts...."

Shahrazad smiled lightly:

"You only tolerated it because you knew you made a mistake and you knew she could fix it."

"Stop acting like you could cast aside your pride."

"If you could, the Satan would still be alive."

"Only Elder Sister Kosem could make you do that!"

"You are so harsh, My Empress!"

"It is because you are being naughty again…~"

"But I still consider her as Family, tho…"

She sighed before standing up:

"I understood your meaning, my cute Emperor. I will keep your words in my heart."

Kamine island.

"So you are telling me that the whole Damocles is inside this little Capsule?

"Crazy, right?"

"If you show this to Lloyd he will go nuts…"

Some people were discussing spiritedly. As Three Siblings were by each other's side with deep gazes on. Schneizel smiled nobly:

"Is that it, Lelouch? The path you choose take?"

"You seem quite spirited for someone under Geass."

"Being under Geass doesn't stop me from questioning others, does it?"

Lelouch smirked:

"Indeed, I look forward to what's going to happen next, isn't right Big Sister?"

Cornelia had a deep smile on her face:

"Don't address me like that. I won't trust you nor forgive you, until I see Euphie with my own eyes."

Schneizel eyes narrowed:

"Interesting, so that's how he got you to swear loyalty to 'Him'."

"Bringing the Dead back to Life. How to even start competing with someone like that…"

"And he knows you all so well."

Lelouch nodded:

" I am sure he has been watching me all this time. Waiting for the perfect moment to appear before me."

Cornelia asked:

"Doesn't that make you feel used? He did watch us suffer all this time…"

Lelouch laughed:

"Used? If the Person I am to serve doesn't even have the wisdom to wait for the right opportunity, I will have way too much work on my plate!"

Schneizel continued with his signature smile:

"Whatever is the result…Our own situation is only the result of our own choices. Nothing more, nothing less. Him taking advantage of the situation is only fair."

Cornelia sighed:

"You are right. Already trying to gauge the new Emperor you will serve, aren't you?"

Schneizel kept a calm face:

"My Loyalty towards him is unshakable because of the Geass, but Serving an Emperor is also understanding him."

"Euphie seems to be quite ahead of you in this field."

Schneizel nodded:

"This doesn't surprise me. Of all of our sibilings, she is the one who can discern and capture the human heart the most."

Lelouch approved with his head. Cornelia had suddenly a warm expression on her face, and let out by inadvertence some ill-advised words:

"I wonder… What does he look like?"

The two brothers immediately had meaningful smirks as their pupil moved to the side of their eye in a similar fashion. Cornelia noticing it:

"Why are you making expressions like that?

"I don't know…You tell me, Big Sister."

She had a questioning gaze but let it go.

"He is super strong! And has this suffocating aura!"

Matsuda commented with awe and admiration in his voice. Cornelia responded:

"Even stronger than you?"

They both started laughing while titling their head sideways as if looking at an ignorant person:

"We are akin to ants in front of his Majesty." Matsuda said calmly.

Motohama nodded:

"I don't know how much power he holds, but if I can give you an approximative description."

All the people present here, had their attention drawn:

"He wouldn't even need a thousandth of his power, to blow up this planet in one strike."

All the people finally realized who they were actually talking about. Cornelia was the first to respond:

"This kind of power is simply too difficult to even conceptualize. He is more akin…"

"…To a God, right?"

Motohama sighed as he warned:

"Please, don't ever call him that. I still remember calling him that back at the Imperial Capital.His exact words where"

'I despise gods who are born with their powers like a birth right. I didn't have anything. Only mortal bearings, with Luck, good opportunities, Hardwork and talent did I become what I am. Mortal things. I am not a God, but a Mortal Emperor who has the ambition to lead his Empire to surpass the Gods!'

Lelouch and Schneizel had a piercing gazes:

"Interesting…

At Least you made me serve someone worth it, Brother."

Cornelia sighed deeply:

"Conquering the Gods"

Now that she felt her impending reunion with her sister growing near, she sensed the Goddess of War inside of her roar again.

"He is coming"

C.C came behind them. The three of them wore solemn expressions. Anticipation could be seen on their eyes. Lelouch and Schneizel, Matsuda and Motoham all kneled. Cornelia intensely looked at the Blue Portal as a Monarchic Silhouette came from it. Oriental, dark green robes with a tinge of gold on it.

His steps where like mini-earthquakes as if the Planet herself cannot hold him!

His spiked hair, his pupil-less black eyes gave him a mysterious air. Pride could be seen engraved in his bones. Looking at him one word would come to mind:

'IMPERIAL'

His gaze kept forward for a while before it slowly descended to Lelouche's, his expression immediately changed to a warm smile, like that of a caring parent:

"My First Vizir! You are finally here!

His Doubled voice immediately attracted the attention of the new people. Lelouch nodded:

"It's an honor to return by your side, your majesty."

He laughed lightly, nodded meaningfully at C.C before he looked at Schneizel with a complex gaze:

"I know that you are under Geass, but If you do you serve me well, you will be treated with grace.

-Yes, your majesty"

Finally after preparing himself well, he dared to lay his gaze on 'her'. He immediately felt his heart lightly pounding but he still controlled himself flawlessly.

'Cornelia Vi Britania, huh…'

She was after all his first anime crush. He looked at her for a while, lightly mesmerized by her lavender eyes. Cornelia felt her whole being invaded, completely exposed by his deep Jet-Black eyes. He smiled lightly, gallantly before lightly nodding:

"Princess Cornelia, you probably came for my Second Vizir."

She retrieved her bearings before answering:

"So it was true. You brought back Euphemia."

He titled his head negating her claim:

"I didn't bring back Euphemia, it's your brother who did."

She turned her gaze to the kneeling Lelouch who was clenching his hand hard to stop himself from sobbing. Suddenly a vicious smile appeared on his face:

"But he still had quite the hardships ahead of him. Shirley is waiting patiently for you, so she can kick you ass! Her parents are still contemplating whether to return to Britania or to stay in the Empire.

Nunally-chan, now that she can walk and see, seems much more spoiled. She complained quite a lot that you replaced her with Rollo. Rollo seems quite lost without you too…Clovis…"

As he kept recounting, Lelouch started laughing lightly.

Cornelia could see the care and knowledge he had of each of one of his subjects. His warm face, like he

'Like they are already his family. Is this really an Emperor?'

As memories of her Distant Blood father who exiled his own kin, who treated his children as Political tools came to her mind:

'Not once did I saw him talk to us like that.'

A little smile on, her anticipation grew as a new desire sprouted:

'I want to see…What kind of Empire he will build!'

He then deeply sighed:

"…And finally, Euphemia."

She could see the difficult face he was making. The same she made when she was worried about Euphemia. He then had a weird face:

"Matsuda, Motohama it seems you need more rigorous training"

The both of them felt their back turn cold.
