The morning sunlight enveloped the villa on the Italian coast, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Euphemia slowly opened her eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed, her beautiful eyes scanning the room filled with soft light. However, the peace was soon disturbed by a horrifying image that crossed her mind, her order to kill thousands of Japanese civilians.
"Why did this happen?" she muttered, her soft voice almost inaudible. She felt trapped in an endless cycle of guilt. Guilt enveloped her heart, making her feel even smaller.
While Euphemia was still lost in her thoughts, the door to the room slowly opened. Noah and C.C entered and saw that Euphemia was awake.
"How are you?" Noah asked, his tone calm but full of concern.
Euphemia looked at them with tears in her eyes. "I'm fine, but... what did I do earlier? I didn't mean to give such an order."
Noah nodded, understanding the deep sadness behind Euphemia's words. "That incident was an accident. You were previously under the control of Lelouch's Geass which went out of control and Lelouch accidentally ordered you to kill the Japanese."
Euphemia fell silent, struggling with the truth. "Geass? Is that the power Lelouch has? He can control others?"
"Yes," Noah answered quietly.
"The power of Geass manifests differently in each individual, it is related to their inner desires and personality. The power of Geass that Lelouch has is absolute command, allowing him to order someone according to his wishes. The power of Geass increases with use, and if the user does not have the will, they can be consumed by it and become uncontrollable. Therefore, Geass is both a blessing and a curse. Oh, by the way, your father, the emperor of Britannia, was also a Geass user."
Euphemia was shocked when she heard Noah's words. Euphemia took a deep breath, trying to calm her thoughts.
"Your feelings are natural, Euphemia," C.C. who was standing beside Noah said calmly. "However, cursing yourself won't change what happened. You're not the only one responsible for what happened."
Euphemia shook her head, unable to accept the harsh reality. "But I was the one who ordered it. Even if it wasn't my will, I was still involved. Many people died and suffered because of my mistake."
"You don't understand, do you? In this world, everyone has choices. Lelouch made choices too, and those are the consequences of his actions. In many ways, we are all pawns in a larger game," Noah said.
Euphemia felt her heart grow heavier at Noah's words. Maybe he was right. However, she couldn't ignore the responsibility she felt.
Euphemia fell silent, her eyes staring blankly out the window, watching the waves roll onto the shore. Her thoughts drifted away from this villa, into the dark memories, into the darkness she had created. The guilt was eating away at her soul, and she felt like there was no way back.
"Euphemia," Noah's soft voice broke the silence. "You have to find a way to deal with this. Blaming yourself won't bring back the lost people."
"But what should I do?" Euphemia asked confusedly.
"Isn't all they want peace and equal rights? Then give it to them." Noah spoke to Euphemia with an intrigued expression as he thought of how the formerly gentle Eufemia suddenly became a queen who ruled the world.
"If I could, I would do that" Euphemia said helplessly as she thought that she was now just a princess without any rights because in order to establish the Japanese Special Zone, she had given up her rights as a contender for the throne of Britannia. After losing that right, she no longer had any power other than the support of her older sister, Cornelia.
Seeing this, Noah smiled faintly.
"Then will you make a contract with me?"
"Contract?" Euphemia asked confusedly.
"That's right, I will give you power that is no less, or even stronger than Lelouch's." Noah said.
"Since this is a contract, then there must be something I pay you, right?" Euphemia asked, she knew that Noah was no ordinary person since he was able to save her from death and remove the influence of Geass.
"Smart, all you need to pay me is to spread my myth and make me a believer in the new country that you will create" Noah said seriously.
After he went to C world and saw firsthand what was called collective consciousness, he knew that he could carry out the ascension ritual in this world faster because of the existence of collective consciousness that influenced each other. But he couldn't do it alone, because gods are myths, so he need other people to spread it. And the Code Geass world is a world full of war where many people suffer and need spiritual support, so he felt it was appropriate to make this world a place for the ritual.
"Myth?, are you a god?" Euphemia asked in surprise. Although the Code Geass world is a modern world with technology, the concept of gods still exists. So Euphemia still understands it.
"Not yet, but I am a God killer" Noah said seriously while activating his Rule of Sky authority and making the Italian region covered in heavy rain.
Euphemia was stunned when she saw the sudden rainstorm, she couldn't see the end of this storm, which meant that this rainstorm covered a very large area. This made Euphemia believe a little in what Noah said.
"Then I accept the Contract" Euphemia said seriously.
Noah immediately activated the contract authority so that the contract between them was tightly bound and could not be violated. Euphemia felt the power that bound her when she signed the contract, she knew that she had to carry out the contents of the contract, otherwise she would suffer the consequences of violating the contract.
"I come for victory. I come for support, for healing, for justice, for a good life. Welcome my arrival with full respect! O my followers, I do not agree to death without my consent. The divine protection of the holy god of war will not admit even the peace of death. Enjoy the privileges and special suffering of the chosen one, with me ...!"
Noah immediately activated the youth spell and kissed Euphemia to provide the protection of the youth authority. Although he could activate it without kissing Euphemia, but who would refuse to kiss a beautiful girl?
Euphemia was stunned when she felt Noah's kiss and his tongue that continued to explore her mouth. But when she felt the power flowing inside her,she knew that Noah was giving her power. Power began to flow through her body, as if new energy was growing and spreading throughout her cells.
Euphemia felt as if the world around her was fading. Every second that passed brought her closer to the power that Noah had given her, and she knew that this kiss was not just physical contact, but a bridge to a power she had never imagined before. After a few moments their lips parted, leaving a silver thread connecting them before breaking.
"So, did you enjoy the kiss?" C.C asked, raising an eyebrow, looking at Noah with a mischievous smile.
"No, it's not like that," Noah replied in a serious tone, his face unwavering. "I just gave her power."
C.C just sneered at Noah's defense, but she didn't say anything, because even if Noah liked Euphemia, she didn't mind, besides she knew that Noah already had a harem before she was with him.
Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, Euphemia blushed. The kiss was her first, and a warm feeling flowed through her. She couldn't get rid of the shy smile that adorned her face. For a moment even forgetting her guilt from the previous incident.
