If there is one thing that has changed from the Gandalfr since because a husband and a father is that he has grown a tolerance to the nobles of the land, although it took many years with the help of Siesta and Henrietta to do so. Saito sat in his office going over the reports of the military. The last three years, Saito has been working on Tristian's military and more importantly to him, the Guards and Special Forces divisions. Using ideas from his home world that he learned from one of the lessons about the Japanese Special Forces of the wars of the modern era, he had single-handedly created one of the deadly forces on the continent. To Saito however, the Guards were much more important because they are the security of the royal family. Each member, minus Marie who he was deciding what to do with, had a specific division that is personal selected by both Henrietta and Saito and the selective few who make it through Agnes's brutal training have to go through an examination by the person they will be defending. For Henrietta, she decided that her Musketeer company would be perfect and both Agnes and Saito thought the same so he let them be her bodyguards… even though they already were in a sense… Saito however, decided that he wanted to have fighters instead of mages so after the 'training' Agnes put them through and the examination by Saito, they few who make it go through even more training which weeds out the ones who can't keep up, those who fall are allowed into the army and go through officer college at the crowns expense for surviving the torture. For the few among the already few who made it through Saito's training are asked simple questions ranging from their dreams and why they want this position. Although it does not affect whether they make it or not, it lets the King know about the ones who will protect him better.

"What about Marie though…" Saito pondered on this question. Marie was too young to be asked this due to her just beginning to understand magic and swordplay. Knocking came from the door which got the King out of his trace. "Come in." He said as the door opened and he saw his daughter.

"Dad, we need to talk." Marie said taking a seat in front of her father before he could give her an answer.

"Ok, what's on your mind dear?"

"What is revolution and why do you and mom look nervous talking about it?" She asked as Saito's eye shot up form hearing the question.

"Where did you hear this?"

"Yesterday, I wanted to talk about going out again but you and Mom were talking so I listened and cracked the door open to see. Both of you looked sad and that word was thrown around a lot." Marie said as Saito gave a deep sigh.

"Wait here." Saito said getting up and left the room to find his wife; this was something he would need his wife's support on before he could say anything to her about. Marie, being the ever curious girl she is got out of her seat and began to look through stuff.

"Don't you think your father would be made if you went through his stuff?" A voice went through the air as the girl froze. She looked at where the voice came from and the only thing that was there was a sword being hanged on the back wall where her father worked.

"Who said that?"

"I did." Derflinger said popping out of the scabbard as the little girl screamed in terror of a sword that can move. "Calm down Marie, I am a friend."

"R-Really?" She said regaining his composure.

"Yes, do you know who I am by any chance?"

"No?"

"I am your father's sword, Derflinger, I helped him and his old master out when they were teens by teaching them everything about his powers and the old masters."

"Old master?"

"Sorry, that is something that your father will have to tell you about when you get older." Derflinger said returning inside the scabbard as Saito, along with Henrietta enter the room as Marie turned and saw her parents looking at her and wondering when she was behind his table. "Sorry partner, I asked her to reach for me and she was trying to get to me." Derf made up the lie to get the young master out of trouble.

"That's fine then, have a seat Marie." Saito said as she and Henrietta took a seat on a couch that layed against the left wall. "After talking with your mother, I have decided that you need to be involved in matters more, what I mean is that you will for now on be involved in matters that we deem you are ready for." Marie shook her head in acceptance. Saito took a deep breath and began his sentence. "What a revolution is that when a people are tired of a government or ruling class and remove them from power, most of the time with force."

"Will that happen to use Dad?" She asked getting a smile from her father.

"No, when I married your mother and you were born, we made sure that the people were happy and as long as they are, they will not turn against us."

"But, why did you two look sad yesterday." Marie asked as Saito bit his tongue and looked at his wife who silently said yes and Saito returned the nod.

"Because… not every country if fortunate enough to have fateful citizens. We, along with Romanlia are the only ones who are not having rebellion troubles."

"Isn't that where the Pope lives?"

"Yup, that he does, he should actually be showing up in an hour now to discuss these matters."

"Can I meet him!?" She said with enthusiasm as her mom calmed her down. "Can I mom, can I?!"

"That is up to-" Henrietta started but she saw the look on her husband's face which read 'Leave me out of this." She giggled and rubbed Marie's hair. "We will see when he shows up if he will have time for that."

"Really, thanks Mom, thanks a lot dad…" She grumbled the last part as he just ignored it.

"I think we know who she likes more."

"Well that's because you won't get me a new sword teacher!"

"I already told you Agnes is the best we have." Saito said as he got down to Maries level and butted heads with her.

"You train me then!" She yelled at her father who was somewhat enjoying this .

"I would if I wasn't busy, I am not going to train-"

"Mom, can I have Dad train?" Marie asked not leaving her eyes from her Dad's who did the same.

"Marie, your dad is very busy as of late, when he isn't he will but until then, Agnes will train you, how does that sound?" Henrietta said being the third party on the matter but she saw through her husband's act.

"Fine, but you better keep it Dad." Marie backed away feeling the victory of this struggle. In actuality, Saito would love to train her but he knew Agnes was better at this thing and he had a Kingdom to run. Then, knocking came from the door and Henrietta said for whoever to enter.

"You majesties, your guests have arrived, they await you in the front entrance." A messenger said as he bowed his head to the family.

"Thank you, you are excused." The Queen said as the man left the trio alone. "Now, let us go meet our guests, and more importantly, have our little daughter meet the Pope." The last part made Marie jump as she got to the door begging her parents to get moving. With a pair of laughing from the adults, Saito grabbed his sword and Henrietta her wand and the family began to walk down the hallway.

"Partner, after this is done, we need to discuss something." Derflinger whispered to his master who caught on.

"What is it."

"Marie wants to know who Louise is." Derf said as a chill when down the Gandalfr's spine. He knew that she would catch on eventually but this was the worst time for her to be adventurous and want to know his past.

"After this meeting is done, you have my undivided attention Derf." Saito said as his sword withdrew back into the scabbard and he caught up to the females.
