I have read from an anime magazine that Milly Ashford, the school president,
was described as the daughter of the owner of the school which is obvious
because the name is Ashford Academy. However, she was also described as the
girl who always pairs up Lelouch and Shirley as couple, despite she herself
having feelings for Lelouch. Is there any proof of that? I watched the R1 and
R2 anime 5 years ago and I cannot remember a part that could prove it. Or am I
missing something?

code-geass
When or in what part did Milly Ashford (the school president) admit that she has feelings for Lelouch?


It has never been show if she has or ever had feelings for Lelouch. However
she is very caring as demonstrated in _Episode 9 - Refrain_ when talking to
Kallen about her parents.

The [Wikia](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Milly#Character_Outline) does says
she cares deeply for him

> Milly cares deeply about Lelouch, but realizes the need to restore her
> family's status by marrying a noble. She is aware of Lelouch's identity as a
> former prince of Britannia, since her family were close supporters of his
> mother, Empress Marianne. This relationship however, would lead to the
> family's nobility status being stripped.

"this relationship" refers to supporting Marianne who was a commoner at birth
and already looked down upon by members of the royal family (though it was
more jealousy that she became a wife despite being a commoner).

I remember reading somewhere (though I don't remember where so don't hold me
to it) that Milly spent time with Lelouch and Nunnally as children before
Marianne's death which is why despite knowing they are royalty, she can be
very forward with them, making her probably the closest person _alive_ to them
to date.

The only part in the anime that I remember was her "Cupid Day" where she said
that when a girl and guy exchange hats, they will officially start becoming
girlfriend and boyfriend. And throughout the day, she had everyone chase
Lelouch's hat to give it to her. At first, I thought it was for fun, teasing
Lelouch like usual but...

When Shirley and Lelouch appear to have exchanged hats, Milly removes her hat
and says, "I'm disappointed this all ended so predictably. I guess you win."
The maid (I forgot her name) says behind her, "Although I think you were a
little serious about it." This shocks Milly and looks back, but the maid is
gone. She then smiles and says, "Yeah, maybe I was. Just a little."

I questioned it so I went to search if it meant that she liked him for real,
and I stumbled upon people saying yes. And then I saw your question, and
here's my take on it. XD (I'm not yet finished with this anime though)

Yes, Milly was in love with Lelouch. It was hinted actually especially in
picture dramas. Although in the anime it was only shown during the Cupid Day.
Remember, prior to that event she and the psychotic Nina had an argument of
some sort about Milly herself not being true to herself or something. That was
why during the start of the Cupid day episode she was in the shower(she was
sooo hawt in that scene being nude and all, LOL) and looks like absorbing the
psycho Nina's rant about her. Then after that she announced her graduation
event. And when the event was about to start, when she was about to command
the students by bringing Lelouch to her, she actually closed her eyes for a
moment and then opened it with determination. And also her comments after the
event and Sayoko's statemnt. LOL. I soo love ninja Sayoko. So yeah, the
playful Milly was actually in love with our beloved demon emperor.

Too bad it wasn't clearly established in the anime. I love her and I kinda
ship her with Lelouch. If it weren't for the official release of the anime
mags, CLAMP and the side materials you wouldn't know about it since it was not
established clearly in the anime not to mention she wasn't given enough screen
time. You should be really keen to details to notice it in the first place.
And also by re-watching it.

P.S. The sound episode of code geass entitled "Meeting Milly" was hilarious,
heartwarming and kinda nostalgic. It was about the first meeting of Lelouch,
Milly and of course Nunnally. If you would listen to it after watching the
entire series it was like Milly was reminiscing it after Lelouch's death.
Really sad. Milly was kinda tragic you know. She was the character where she
secretly love the main guy but never got the chance to express it. Not to
mention that she constantly paired him up with a friend, Shirley. You should
read the fanfic "Until". Its a Oneshot and it showed Milly's thoughts and
feelings about Lelouch. The crossdressing picture drama was hilarious too. Too
funny and it was refreshing to see despite the darkness of the plotline of
Code Geass.
