As the prime minister promised, a doctor from the Tokyo Metropolion hospital came in the next morning and examined Euphemia. The doctor advised that Euphemia should stay at the hospital for the next few days to fully recover.

"Dont worry Nellie, the doctor sayed I'll stay only couple of days."

Although Cornelia didnt want to leave her sister, she decided this was for the best.

"Alright Euphie, I'll wait for you to come back."

Cornelia gave her sister a small hug before letting go.

Euphemia gave a small smile, before being pushed to her transport.

As the car began to drive away, Cornelia only watched as it distanced itself further and further away.

It pained her to leave her sister alone, only on the next day of her promise from yesterday evening. Euphie needed all support she can have, to be able to continue to live. But it was for the best. Her sister needed treatment, and it was only for a few days.

Sighting, Cornelia turned and head back to the shrine.

"Hey you damn brit!" a suddent yell came out from her left.

Cornelia turned and saw the source of the yell.

It was Suzaku.

"How dare you come here in my home! You're nothing but barbarians that conquer and slaughter! "

Cornelia raised a brow, she expected this could happend, but not so soon. Guess the Prime minister was right.

"Im sorry Suzaku Kururugi, but it wasnt my wish to come here and live in your home, and it is rather foolish to blame all brittanians for all of that man sins. "

"Also its a little insulting to call me barbarian, as you only met me yesterday and apart knowing I have royal blood, you dont really know me. "

Then she let a small grin. "Your father was right. Your pride is what that blinds you."

Suzaku clench his fists.

"Pride isnt a bad thing Suzaku Kururugi. Pride is a satisfied sense of attachment toward one's own choices and actions, also it is a product of praise, independent self-reflection and a fulfilled feeling of belonging. However a little too much pride is a foolishly and irrationally inflated sense that drives the man to mistakes and blinds him."

Cornelia made a small scowl.

" Pride blinds you Suzaku, it will lead you to your undoing."

This was the snaping point of Suzaku. First they come to his own home, desecrate it with their own presence, now she was lecturing him and insulting him.

"Shut up!"

Suzaku dashed fowards to Cornelia.

She was able to dodge him. She tried to push Suzaku away from her as she didnt want to confront him. Suzaku was trained by a soldier in swords fighting while she didn't have any experience in fighting at all.

While she was able to push away Suzaku, he managed to regain himself and lanched himself towards Cornelia. They both fell on the ground, as Suzaku began to hit the grounded girl. Cornelia replied with her own fists striking Suzaku.

"What is going on here!?" a suddent voice came out.

It was Tohdoh.

"Suzaku! Stop this insulence immidietly!" as he was approaching both children on the ground.

Suzaku stood up.

"What do you think you are doing ?"

"Teacher Tohdoh, shes only a brittanian, she needed to be teached manners-"

"What manners!? The only one without manners I see is you Suzaku! Is this why I teach you the art of the Sword ? To attack a weaker person that is a girl, just because she is of a different race?"

"She has the blood of the brittanian emperor!" Suzaku tried to defend himself.

"And? Just because she shares the same blood as him, doesnt justify this Suzaku. Go to the Tojo and wait till I return."

Suzaku turn his gaze towards the ground. He then looked at Cornelia, before walking away.

Tohdoh after managing to calm himself down and return his neutral expresion, he then approched Cornelia and offered a hand for her to stand up.

"I appologize for his actions lady Cornelia. I'll punish him for his dishonorable act."

Cornelia turned down his offer for help and stood up herself.

"It's alright Major Tohdoh, it isnt really his fault. It is his pride that blinds him as the Prime minister stated..." she then looked at the furthering shape of Suzaku "it is the same pride that blinds the brittanian people."

Tohdoh raised a brow. The princess was wise for her age. She knew the wrongdoing of the empire and everything that it stood for today.

"I have a request Major Tohdoh. I wish you would train me in the art of the Sword."

This suprised a little Tohdoh.

"And may I ask why ?"

Cornelia turned to Tohdoh. He was able to see the flame in her eyes. Like yesterday, they were full with vengence, but now with determination.

"I wish to be stronger. I want to be able to protect those who I hold close and love."

Tohdoh wasnt really sure. There was no guarantee, as the princess might change her mind and use her knowledge againts them. But in the end, there was no guarantee to beging with, as the emperor might take his word back too and invade Japan.

But if the princess keeps her claim true, she might become a strong ally in the future.

In the end he decided to fulfill her request.

"Very well lady Cornelia. We'll start tomorow at 8 in the morning. I'll await in the Tojo."

"Thank you Major Tohdoh." replied Cornelia as she bowed slightly.

The Major only shrugged it off.

"Now if you excuse me, I have to talk to the young Kururugi. I'll send one of the maids to threat your bruises." Tohdoh then turned and walked away towards the Tojo.

Cornelia made a small smile. Although she was beaten by Suzaku, Tohdoh granted her request of being trained by him. She'll finally be able to protect her sister.

For now she needed to wait for the maid to come and threat her bruises.

Tomorow she had to be ready as her training will begin.

The future just might look bright.

In the Imperial palace, the 98th emperor Charles zi Brittania and his military consoul, together with Knight of One were discussin reports and future military plans.

"As you see Your Majesty, the new forth generation of knighmares has excelled all expectations. With the current production we estimate, by the beginning of next year around 350 Knigtmares will be ready to be deployed."

The emperor only nodded. This new weapon of war will come very usefull to further his goal.

He then gestured to the next person to report.

"Preparations for the invasion of the Philippines are complete Your Majesty. Third and Forth Pacific fleets are stationed in Area 7 and await Your command.

The philippinian army is around 60 000 troops, wich they could increase with mobilization up to 130 000, they poses 400 tanks, other 700 armored vehicles, 134 artillery units, around 70 aircraft, 47 ships and 2 submarines.

Also most of their equipment is farely outdated, their military doesnt have a centralized military core with our spies in destabilising the goverment and military, and we have the element of suprise.

Our invasion force consists of 42nd, 63rd and 64th armies, aproximately 460 000 troops, 3 300 tanks and 15 000 other armored vehicles, 976 artilery units, 470 aircraft and 125 long range bombers lanching from Area 7, 8 and 9, Third and Forth fleets consist of 79 destroyes, 121 cruisers, 28 battleships, 8 aircraft carriers, 29 submarines, 170 support vessles and 290 landing vessels."

The reporting high ranking general made a short pause before continuing.

"Approximate casualties are estimated to be around 5 000 to 20 000. The invasion should be succesful and in the first 24 hours, all resistance will be wiped out."

The general completed his report.

This pleased Charles, when Area 10 is established it will be used as a staging ground to attack Japan. Japan had one of the ancient temples on Kamine island, not only that, Japan had enormous supply of Sakuradite.

It will come in handy in the future with the Sakuradite deposits.

"The invasion of the Philippines will begin on 24th of August."
