New life.
Author POV
The day after the birth of Julius di Britannia:
News of the birth of the fourth Prince of Britain quickly spread throughout the Empire, some people celebrated such as loyal soldiers of the Emperor and part of the purebloods, others reacted neutrally to the news, and the rest generally ignored this event because it did not concern their lives.
His appearance was not much different from his previous life: an even nose, pronounced, straight cheekbones, green eyes, but unlike his old hair, they were more silky and became a platinum color, passed on from his mother Elizabeth.
Julius had a dispute in the first month of his new life whether to show his genius, because on the one hand he could shield himself from many dangers, but there was also a great risk of falling under the influence of his brother Schneisel, who could use him to his advantage and then sell him as a pawn. So he decided to play all-in and soon began to reveal his cards to the family.
For the 4th month of his life in the role of Julius VI Britannia:
Cornelia and her older brothers came to visit their recently born son and did not expect that this situation would happen today.
They had already seen the brilliance of their own brother, who only cried when he needed food or other natural needs, which surprised them greatly.
"Look, sister, what is little Julius doing?" Odysseus said in surprise, as simple-minded as a sheep in a family of wolves.
-God...-she exclaimed Shnizel and continued watching to go, there he goes.
Everyone watched with shock and disbelief that a four-month-old baby is able to go on its own and without support
Julius POV
-It is not for nothing that an adaptive body that is physically easy to develop is very useful. All my exercises for developing their own muscles were counted roughly speaking in an ordinary child 1 squat, I have a thousand with the same effort. Julius admired in his mind the new body that God had given him. In General, he could walk in a few days, but decided to hide it, seriously fearing that he would be given to government experiments. He was paranoid about it, because his father had no attachment to him and who knew what he was going to throw out.

Julius already spoke fluently in the presence of all, also striking everyone with this. There were almost no problems with reading, because English did not differ much from his previous life.
During this period, he became interested in historical literature, because the history of this world was different from the previous one, what can we say if Britain itself was not part of the Holy British Empire, which made him laugh a little and sent him to the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, as Voltaire said: "What was called < ... > the Holy Roman Empire, was not However, the local Holy Roman Empire, unlike the original, was a full-fledged Empire.
He quickly read everything and memorized it, using his eidetic memory. It turned out that Lorne and the local only differed in a couple of minor events, but mostly everything was identical. Caesar failed his campaigns in Britain, because of the unification of the Britons into single tribes, which later went to their neighbors the Scots and so relatively appeared Britain, which later discovered the reserves of Sakuradayta, which led to the relative power of Britain. Other events in this world did not differ much from the original, except for the battle of Trafalgar in which the British lost to Napoleon in disgrace and lost the British Isles, the Queen even had to go to a shameful world and give up her own throne, but with the help of loyal people founded a new capital on the lands of the United States. By the way, the war of Independence of the United States was lost, and Britain completely absorbed North America from the South.
He was also assigned a tutor who taught him the basics of etiquette, language, history, geography, and other subjects, although Julius did not need him much, but he was able to make friends with him. His name is Alexander Goldewood, a middle-aged man with thinning gray hair who seemed arrogant and strict, but on the contrary was a loving and respectful mentor who valued his inquisitive pupil.
They also had a chess game, Alexander was a very experienced player and considered it necessary to develop the Royal offspring in a strategic way in which he believed chess helped. But Julius always thought that chess only develops ignorance, because on the Board you and your opponent always have an equal number of pieces, in one of the battles with Cornelia, Lelouch even mentioned that if he had an equal number of troops, then victory would be guaranteed. And Julius even told his mentor about it, that chess can and develops tactical skills, can never show a true talented person, his words stunned the mentor, and the whole game was held in quiet silence. However, the mentor was even more stunned when Julius announced "Mate"with a slight grin. This victory was due to the accelerated thinking abilities of Julius, which are equal to a quantum computer, which helped him in a short time to think about very high-quality moves at a speed of several ticks.
Four years later:
-Hello, older brother Shnizel. What are you going to do?
"Oh, dear little brother, have you not heard of the birth of our Lelouch VI Britannia?" I heard that your Junior championship went so well that some opponents lost in 30 seconds and then only because they thought too long.
"You know that I have just arrived, and can I accompany you to visit him?"
Happily, that's where I'm headed, I think Cornelia is also there.
"Then let's go quickly, I'm already wondering if he'll look like me." slight narcissism told Julius that irritation on the face of Snazila.
Right now, Julius was having a discussion about Lelouch's vendetta against the Royal family. He believed that if he managed to make friends with Lelouch, he would be able to avoid his punishment without changing the lore of the original story too much.
[Timeskip:8 years later]
Our main character is already 12 years old in this world, he entered the best school in the entire Empire and quickly passed through the classes, it was expected that he could finish in two years and then only because he asked to stay in it.
In the family for these eight years, no major changes have passed, my father sometimes came to the family and even watched me or Lelouch, although I suspect that he prefers my younger brother because of his love for Marianne VI Britannia, I was not disappointed about this, on the contrary, I was surprised that he paid attention to me at all, thereby causing jealousy Of
In the family, Lelouch was called the second me, because his personality and intellectual abilities resembled me, which is why one day he called me to play chess with him:
"What, little brother, do you want something from me?"
"Yes, Julius, I challenge you to a chess duel because I am called the second you.
"Hah, if that's what you want, I'll play with you."
They came to a room on the left side of the estate where there was a game room for chess games. and also a piano for playing, which I asked to put on because I was learning to play musical instruments, but I rarely left this room myself.
We sat down at a table on which was a specially carved Board with striking sets of black and white figures.
- Good luck, Lelouch, I hope that you will remember the lesson that I will teach after your loss.
"Hah, your arrogance will ruin you, Julius.
Thus began their game, which helped the half-brothers to establish a friendly contact …
Lelouch sat amazed by his own brother, who made infallible moves in a couple of seconds, which began to put psychological pressure on Lelouch and led him to lose.
- Impossible, impossible -Lelouch believed, that impossible to do such moves for couple of seconds.
-Lelouch, remember what I'm telling you now, it may save your life. Life is not chess, do you think that when you lead your soldiers at the head they will be in equal numbers with the enemies? Will your enemies have new technological products that outperform your own? I think you will consider it, but you will not consider it, and you will lead your soldiers to death. Any variable can have a proper funeral plan if you're going to underestimate his enemies and I don't want you to understand when it would be too late.- with these words, Julius left the room and sent to rest, leaving Lelouch in a thoughtful position, pondering the words that his brother had said to him.
