Mariemaia looked for a way out. Lady Une was getting closer to the door by the second. Mariemaia searched left and right until she found a small supply closet, just her size. She hurried towards it and managed to hide just as Lady Une peeked outside. Oh no… What if she already saw me? What if she finds out? Oh no… She heard Lady Une's steps getting louder… and closer to her… When she suddenly heard a sigh… "Claude, what are you doing, sneaking around here?" Lady Une asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Umm... Lady Une, I was just… erm…" I have to maintain my composure! Or else Lady Une'll find out that Mariemaia has been wandering around the place! Alone! Get a grip, Claude! "I was just going to inform you, Lady Une, Miss Mariemaia is waiting for you in the den."

"Is that so…" the lady said with still an eyebrow raised. "Tell her I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Y-Yes, m'lady!"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Was someone there?" inquired Treize.

"Yes, it was Claude. I seem to have a guest."

"A guest? Well, you'd better go to your guest right away, lady. You shouldn't keep him waiting." He said with a smile.

Lady Une chuckled. "He is a she, Master Treize."

"Oh, do forgive me. Don't worry about me. I'll entertain myself somewhere here. I might even find a clue to my past." He stood up, went to Lady Une, and kissed her hand. "It was a pleasure to have this chat with you."

Lady Une stood motionless. When she came back to reality, Treize was staring at her. She looked away, "The honor's mine, Your Excellency…"

The two went out the door and gone to the places they have to be.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Mariemaia, it's nice of you to visit!" exclaimed Une as she entered through the door.

"It has been a while since I last came here." A sarcastic smile pasted on her small face. "I came here to ask something. Since you are a Preventer and all, you should know something…"

"And this is about?" she asked as she made her way to the sofa.

"Lady Une, do you remember the Project: Twin Stars?"

Une was stopped dead on her tracks. "And what about it? It was cancelled last year." She reached the sofa and sat down.

It was Mariemaia's turn to raise an eyebrow. "I have been hearing rumors…"

"Rumors about what?"

"Rumors that the Project has been secretly continued underground. And that the specimen used was a prominent person who had died a…."

Lady Une jumped to her feet. "Are you implying something, Mariemaia?" she said quite loudly. She eyed Mariemaia, and stared at her as if she wanted to kill.

"I wasn't implying anything at all… but because of your "violent" reaction, I assume you are hiding something?" Mariemaia knew she had won the fight. Lady Une stood speechless. This… this shouldn't be happening… Mariemaia must NOT find out… she mustn't…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As the two women were having their "talk", Treize wandered around the mansion. He first went to the library. He browsed through the books and documents in there. He found The First Colonies, History of the Sanc Kingdom, Mobile Suits: the Real Reason, and lots more books. "Hmmm… I should go here more often… I might learn something from this…" He was enjoying himself with the books all around him. He continued browsing until he found The Battle of the Gundams, written by Relena Darlian. As soon as he saw the title, he got interested. He immediately took the book and scanned through the first few pages. A certain section got his attention.

Treize Kushrenada,(AC 171-195) age 24, was the Chief Representative of the Romafeller Foundation and is the Commander of the Specials Force, more commonly known as OZ. He leaded a coup d' etat attempt and succeeded. He was known for his special appeal to the people, his undeniable courage to fight, and his love for all things living. According to the pilot of Gundam 05, Treize remembers every single name of every person who died for him. Approximately 100,000 soldiers have given their lives up for this man. In the end, his best friend, Zechs Merquise, turned his back on him and led the White Fang as Milliardo Peacecraft. He died in the last battle of that war. His last battle was with Gundam 05.

In After Colony 196, a girl named Mariemaia Barton came out to the public. She claimed to be the daughter of Treize, yet she still has no proof. Her mother is unknown. Although one Gundam pilot claims to know who her mother is, he refused to say anything. Ms. Barton wanted to take over the world, saying that she will continue her father's dreams. In truth, she was just being controlled by Dekim Barton (see p. 305). Right now, she is being taken cared of by Treize's assistant, Lady Une.

Treize read this section over and over, trying to understand every single detail. He was shocked, of course, with some of the information about him. Approximately 100,000 soldiers… Coup attempt… Romafeller… This… is the real Treize? His head started to throb. It hurt so much that he felt he would faint any second. He sat down for a while and cleared his mind. Calm yourself… Think about something else… Don't think about your past… Stop thinking, damn it! As he finally calmed down, he saw something strange. One bookshelf was different from the others. Yes, it looked exactly the same with other bookshelves; but there's something mysterious about it that entrances Treize, that pulls him to go near it. Treize stood up. He strolled to the bookshelf and scrutinized every book it holds. He takes it out and opens it. He scans the pages and puts it back in its place again. He did this routine for who knows how long, until, finally, as he took out a book, a small pathway opens up. His head started hurting again, but he ignored it. I was a soldier. This kind of pain shouldn't hurt me…

He looked at the pathway. There were stairs leading down to a dark room. He hesitated a bit, yet his curiosity got the better of him. He walked down the stairs. And as he reached the room, he used his hands to feel around him, searching for anything that might resemble a switch. He found a lever on the right side of the stairs. He turned it on, and lights came. The room was full of computers, different kinds. In the center was an office table, and upon it were documents that have already accumulated dust. There was also a laptop there, and tons of other things. A small picture frame caught his eye. He went near it and took a closer look. He dusted off dirt from the picture and saw a beautiful blond woman and a red-headed child. The woman looked around 20 and the young girl was still a baby. This child… Could this child be Mariemaia? Then this woman is… Ow! His head started aching again. He fell to his knees, still clutching the picture. He tried to open his eyes but failed. After struggling for a few minutes, the pain began to subside. Once the pain was tolerable, he stood up and examined the frame. He unlocked the back and found something he knew was a link to his past…
