Trunks tip-toed his way downstairs, following the ki of the Saiyan girl, Kaida. He noticed the way that his father acted around her and his brother and he wanted that as well. Maybe if he knew more about this planet and his Saiyan heritage then his father would be proud of him in the same way. He thought about asking his brother to help him but he found that his brother was just as intimidating as their father was; he was hoping that Kaida might be more helpful. Trunks noticed that the light was on in the drawing room and headed in that direction. Entering the room he looked around and found Kaida looking over the bookshelves with her back turned to him. Stealing himself Trunks cleared his throat trying to gain her attention.
Turning Kaida saw Trunks standing there looking nervous but determined, smiling to herself she curtsied, "Prince Trunks, what can I do for you?" Trunks shuffled in place trying to find the words. "Perhaps you would like to sit down, than we can talk," Kaida suggested sitting on the couch directly across from the fireplace, patting the spot beside her. Grateful for the understanding she was showing Trunks sat down beside her gathering his courage. Kaida sat there watching the young prince staring down at his boots. It was obvious to her that he wanted to ask her something and to him it was very important. Instead of pushing and telling him 'out with it' as either of the Vegeta's would have she let him take his time, when he was ready he would ask her. Trunks took a few deep breaths, he was glad she wasn't pushing it made this so much easier, "I...I was wondering if you could help me with something."
Trunks looked up at her and blurted out, "will you teach me to be a Saiyan?" Kaida allowed herself a slight chuckle before answering, "of course I can teach you, and if he wants I can teach your friend Goten as well." Trunks looked overjoyed and jumped off the couch, "really! You will! That's awesome, when can we start?" Kaida actually laughed out loud at his exuberance, "I will come and get you two first thing in the morning, we will start then, but..." she added when Trunks started jumping up and down, "understand that I am a stern task master and you might not like all I have to teach you. You also need to understand that while I am your teacher there will be no curtsies, in fact it will be the other way around. When I am your teacher I have the higher rank, and you will do as you're told. Is that understood?" Trunks jumped and danced his way to the door, "yep got it!" Kaida laughed at his enthusiasm as the young prince returned to his bed.
Early the next morning Kaida woke both Trunks and Goten, much to their disgust. "Come on you two, time to get up you have a lot to learn." She threw them each a black uniform, "put those on, and then put on your boots, the armour and gloves." Once the boys were ready Kaida motioned for them to follow and let them down to the kitchen. "Why are we in the kitchen?" Trunks asked he expected them to be in a much grander room. "We are in the kitchen, oh mighty prince, so that I can teach you and make breakfast...not to mention the kitchen has been sound proofed so we will not wake the rest of the house with your whining. Now sit down and give me a few minutes then we will begin." The boys sat at the table while Kaida put the kettle on the stove and began bustling around the kitchen getting trays ready. When the kettle whistled she poured water into cups, putting all but three onto one of the trays. Turning she put a cup in front of each of the boys /"Hot Chocolate."/ Goten ignored the strange word, picked up the cup and took a sip, "Yummy, Hot Chocolate." Kaida shook her head at him, "That's what I just said. Drink up then it's time to learn your letters."
"What!" Trunks shouted, "We already know our letters we're not stupid." Kaida laughed, "I know that. You know your letters in the Standard language, but not Saiyan. So this morning you will begin learning Saiyan." She gave each boy a work book, pen and a sheet of paper with strange writing on it. "These are Saiyan letters, underneath each one is the corresponding letter in the standard alphabet. Now you will begin copying each of the letters until you have them memorized and can produce them perfectly." Turning she went back to preparing breakfast, leaving the boys to their studies. As she finished the dishes she took each one out into the dining room for the others. "Hey Trunks," Goten looked up from the papers, "what do you think this king will be like?" Trunks shrugged, "I don't know, he's a king." Kaida dropped the cup she was holding, "King?" She turned to look at the boys her face deathly pale, "The king..." Trunks looked at Kaida curiously, "is everything alright Kaida? You look worried." Kaida turned towards the dining room before screaming, "FUCK! DehDeh!" Kaida ran into the dining room where the others were having their breakfast. "We have a problem."
"And what would that be Kaida?" Vegeta asked from the head of the table. "The King. He's coming here for the festival and not 'in his house' here, but staying here in this house, here." Vegeta shrugged, "What is your point exactly?" Kaida smirked and pointed to where Goku was shoveling down his food without using any utensils. "That is my point. Somehow I doubt that your Father would appreciate that, never mind the ignorance of the others." Vegeta paled slightly before regaining his composure. "Well then I guess you all will have to correct that. Kaida you will teach the women and the boys, Geta will help you with them. Bardock you and Raditz will work on Kakarot and his elder boy." He then got up and began walking out of the room. "DehDeh, two things." Vegeta paused in the door way at Kaida's voice. /"I cannot teach your mate and show her the proper respect at the same time."/ Vegeta nodded, "Very well, until she earns the title of princess you do not have to show Bulma the respect for that title. What else?"
"What is Kakarot's title?" Vegeta stood there thinking for a moment before speaking a single word. The other Saiyans stood each one of them exclaiming at the same time. The young prince took a few steps towards his elder, "Father are you certain. Giving such a title to...to..."
"Do not question me boy! /I know what I'm doing and besides Kakarot is harmless."/ Turning Vegeta walked out of the dining room. The three remaining male Saiyans quickly followed their prince out of the room.
"Umm Kaida, what just happened?" Bulma asked. Kaida pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and middle finger. "The title that had been given to Kakarot is one that hasn't been used in hundreds of years. Roughly translated it means...Lord Captain General. Gohan gets the title of Lord General while Goten is the Captain General. It's both a military and social title," she sighed before taking Bardocks seat, "It means that your family is now a secondary royal line." Sensing their confusion she continued, "Basically it means that, the Gods forbid, should the king and his entire line die out," she looked at Goku, "you would be king."
Ok I just kinda made up a title, I know nothing about military ranks so I meshed a Society title with two military titles. Don't hate me and let me know what you think
