a question (canon timeline)

[scribblestorm.livejournal.com]

Hi all! I have a question whose answer has been eluding me despite my efforts prowling Google, so I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction. It's for a fic I'm working on: that is, does anyone know when (around what year, etc.) the "pact" between Charles, V.V., Marianne and C.C. took place?

Anyway, I haven't been in this fandom all that long, so my apologies if this question has been resolved before. But, anyone who can answer it for me will have my undying gratitude!

Thanks for your time!

I don't think it was ever mentioned in the anime...

You can always try to find it here

I was able to pull up the timeline on that wiki, but it didn't have what I was looking for. Regardless, thanks for helping! ^_^

If I remember correctly it was made around the time when Charles first became Emperor...which would make it 1998 :)

That would make sense. Thank you!

In ep 14 in a flashback we see Charles, V.V., Marianne and C.C. together. The year given is 1997. Charles is already an emperor and VV asks him if he has forgotten their pact.
Ep 21 used that same flashback to point out that CC and Marianne had lso joined their pact.
So the took place in that year or earlier...
That's all I know, sorry. Maybe novels are more clear on this point...

This is fine; the only swing point for me is 1977, to be honest - whether this pact of theirs took place before or after 1977 would take the fic in two very different directions. Thanks for the info!
