"Good morning, children." Garon said when the two walking into the dining hall the next morning.

"Good morning, Father." Both children smiled. It was normal for Xander to be happy in their fathers presence, but Camilla almost never smiled.

"Purple haired girl, why are you smiling?" Garon sneered.

"I am happy, Father." Camilla replied. Her father not calling her by her name didn't bother her today. She was excited to see Corrin, but also somewhat afraid, she could hardly sleep thinking of Corrin being poisoned.

"Because you committed your first murder?" Garon smiled. Camilla's eyes went wide. Xander looked at her. "Xander would never hurt a fly unless provoked, you, on the other hand, have the ability to turn in an instant like some unhinged maniac, and the brats maid was found dead. I am certain that brat couldn't do that."

"Perhaps she just fell down the stairs." Camilla shrugged. Garon laughed.

"I never said how she died." Xander looked horrified. He couldn't imagine his sister killing anyone, at least, he never thought she would.

"F-Father-" Camilla whispered. She was preparing herself for some sort of punishment. She know her mother would beat her senseless and she'd probably never be allowed to see Corrin.

"Why?" Garon asked. "Why did you decide to murder the maid?"

"I wanted to see if I could." She lied. "When I saw the blood, I didn't feel remorse, I felt good, like it was natural."

"So you do have promise." Garon smiled. Camilla flinched.

"As of today, you will begin training with Xander. I expect you to be able to keep up with your brother."

"Thank-you, Father!" Camilla smiled. "May I see Corrin today?" She asked.

"No, you will be far too busy to see that brat for a while." Camilla's heart felt heavy.

"I need to know she's alright, but she will be heavily guarded." Camilla thought. She sat in silence through their meal.

"Why did you kill the maid?" Xander asked as they went to their first lesson.

"She hurt Corrin!" Camilla mumbled.

"Do you feel anything? You are a kid that killed a grown woman!"

"I feel proud of myself, Xander."

"How?"

"No one is ever proud of me. I'm just the second child, no one cares about me or Leo or Elise. No one in the world right now cares about Corrin. The fact that I killed that maid to protect Corrin makes me feel proud." Camilla sighed. "I don't expect you to understand, Xander, but I feel something when I'm with Corrin."

"The need to kill?" Xander asked.

"No, something else. I think I love her."

"Ew."

"Not like that! Like I want to hold her in my arms and play with her hair and h-hug her and take care of her." Camilla sighed.

"Believe it or not, I understand." Xander sighed.

"You do?"

"Kind of. I want to protect her too, like a brother. I can't be good brother, I have to be a prince, but I want to be as good a brother as I can be." Camilla smiled at him, finally beginning to understand her brother. There was silence as they walked to their first lesson.

"When will we get to see Corrin again?" She asked, already missing the girl terribly.

"I don't know, Camilla. It depends how long our studies take."

"How long do they usually take?"

"Well, first we have learning lessons, where we study different subjects from books, that lasts several hours, we have a short break around noon to have lunch, and then from then until a few hours before supper we have physical training like fighting and defense. Then we get a half hour break and we practice again with physical training lessons until supper." Xander recited.

"I'll never get to see Corrin." Camilla whined.

"If you rush, you might be able to." He suggested. Camilla smiled at the thought.

"Okay, I will!" Camilla smiled as she ran ahead of Xander.

"I didn't actually mean it, Camilla! You have to pace yourself!" Xander yelled, chasing after her.

"I'll do anything for Corrin!" Camilla thought. The thought of that little girl who showed her so much love made Camilla's heart happy and she couldn't help but grin.
