(Lelouch approaching his father, the Britannian Emperor)
Hail, Your Majesty! My mother the Empress is dead.
Old news. What of it?
What of it?!
You sought an audience with the Emperor of Britannia to simply inform me of that. Send the next one in. I have no time for these childish games.
(Lelouch running to the emperor)
Father!
(Guards run to stop Lelouch, but Charles raise his hand to halt them)
Yes, Your Majesty!
Why didn't you keep Mother out of harm's way? You're the emperor, the greatest man in this nation, if not the world, you should've protected her and now you don't even visit Nunnally!
I've no use for that weakling.
That weakling?
That is what it means to be royalty.
(angrily) Then I don't want to be your heir, I give up my claim to the throne! (Nobles gasp of what Lelouch is saying) I'm sick of the fighting and scheming over who will succeed you, Father. I've had enough!
You are dead. You were always been dead to me, dead from the moment you were born. Who gave you the fine clothes you wear and comfortable home? The food you eat and your very life? All of those, I have given to you. In short, you are not nothing to me because you have never existed. Yet you dare to speak such foolishness to me?! (Lelouch falls as his father rises from the throne) Lelouch, you are dead, therefore you are not entitled to any rights. I am sending you and Nunnally to Japan, as prince and princess. You will serve well as bargaining tools.
