"Stupid Dad, why can't he see that I want to go with him on his awesome missions?" Marie said pounding her pillow with her fists to let out her anger. Knocking came from the door but Marie continued to expresser her anger on the pillow to think. "Go away Imrahil, leave me alone."

"Honey, it's me, I'm coming in." Henrietta said and opened the door to the princess's room. What she saw was a poor girl who was conflicted on why her father was not around as much and the talk the Queen had with the king did not help with the situation.

"Saito, I think it is best if I talk to her instead of you." Henrietta said as the two were alone and a few turns from Maries room. She was on the left side while he was on the right.

"After chewing me out in front of everyone, you want to talk to Marie instead of myself, that makes sense."

"Speaking of which, you said you were leaving for a reason but our daughter cut you off before you could say." She said as Saito gulped, he couldn't say it was to find Louise and bring her back, that would worsen the situation, so he did what any man would do in this situation, lie.

"The Pope mentioned a high value noble that has questionable loyalty to him, I want to convince him or her to join us and offer his support." It killed the man inside to lie to the love of his life but it was the only way for this to work. Henrietta could tell he was hiding something but did not know what.

"I see, perhaps you should get ready for the trip then, where would this person happen to be?"

"Intelligence is working on the specific location right now." Saito said and kissed his wife's cheek and ran off to find his Captain and left her at the door.

It was the next day and the two men were having final talks about who will be joining them, what to bring and other essentials for the mission. At first, Saito thought about the Zero but Imrahil would not be able to come since it is only a two seater and they would be bringing Louise back and sitting on his lap would make this worse. Bringing the navy would have them lose the element of surprise and would cause tension between whatever country they entered to get Louise.

"Well, what do you suggest that we do then?" Imrahil said leaning against the door as Saito sat in his the chair in his office.

"We could go by horse, it would take forever but we would have the element of surprise with us."

"But it would take weeks for us the get there and back and we only have a few weeks before the deadline. We don't even know if she will accept."

"You really want to know why she will say yes don't you?"

"I think I have a right to know since I will be protecting you Saito."

"Fine, I plan to lift all crimes she and her family had on me and the country, including the attack we had received by her hands if she assists us in our fight against Popey." Saito said his plan as Imrahil thought he was hearing things.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"You heard me, I will lift all crimes she and her family committed on us if she helps me in this war to come. We may not be able to help the rebels in the country they are revolting against but if we go to Louise, warn her and the people that are following her, they will at least have half a mind to trust us in operations. That, and we need the manpower."

"Sir?"

"I believe Pope Jackass has been holding out on us with his actual size of military and may be having weapons of mass destruction." "And I pray that they are not nuclear like back home, should only be stuff like that rocket launcher I found but still, stuff like that can hurt an army with ease."

"Saito, are you getting paranoid?"

"Would you rather I be paranoid and overestimate our soon to be enemy then underestimate them?"

"No, I just think this is all getting out of hand."

"You have no idea…" Saito leaned back on his chair and thought about the idea he wanted to address in the past with the military but decided against it. If this war was going to be like Saito imagined it would be, then he would need all the advantages he could get. Thinking long and hard on the question, he came up with the answer. "This world is not ready for such power yet, not until we all can unite under one government and look past trivial things." "Although just nuking someone would be a hell of a lot easier if we did not have the side effects of doing it, oh well, never easy is life."

"Saito, I am starting to think there is more to this then you are letting on to."

"And for good reason, although the technology I can offer would give us an easy win over every country and could quite possible let us to become the only country in the world… the consequences are too great for me to allow myself to say yes."

"Sir?"

"Imrahil, answer this for me, imagine something shaped like an oval ok?" Saito said as Imrahil nodded at the question. "Now imagine that one oval having the capability to vaporize anything in sight, our capital city for example would stand no chance of surviving; Millions of dead in a matter of seconds. Even if people survived, the aftermath could cause poisoning beyond any one person's mind. Would you use something like this to end a conflict immediately?" Saito said and stared into the eyes of his Captain.

"Saito, what kind of power is this?"

"The power my home country has and is still dealing with today. I want to prevent this beautiful world from being forced into this suffering and worry about if this is there last day. But we got off topic, I think it would be best if we just used the plane and took our chances with it."

"A-Agreed…" Imrahil stood in front of the door still not able to comprehend the kind of power his current ruler had to fear. He had gained another bit of respect for Saito for his choice to fight the fight instead of doing the easier thing and caused genocide of a civilization. "Sir, who will go with us?"

"Myself, I think it is best if I handle this myself while you stay here and defend the home front with Henrietta."

"But, didn't you say you wanted me to come with you?"

"Yes, but I have something else to do as well, something private."

"Very well, please be careful on your trip, should I inform the Queen of any of this?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell her." Saito said as a grin formed on his face and dismissed his Captain. Saito rose from his seat and walked over to a picture on the wall of him, Henrietta and Marie. Removing the picture from the wall, a safe sat in the middle. Saito enter in the combo to the lock and opened the bad boy up to reveal almost one hundred blueprints. He took his right index finger and a small flame ignited the tip. He moved it to the paper and lit it up. In so doing, he destroyed all the technology he could leaned to this world and either make it better or worse. "This world is not ready for power, they don't even I know what power is yet…" Saito quoted himself again and closed the safe and placed the portrait of his family back up and proceeded to the hanger where his plane was docked. "Maybe it is best if I wait till the absolute last second to say something to her so she can't say a single thing."

Author's Notes – Is it just me or am I changing my mind in every chapter I write… first I was going to introduce three different technology but instead I have Saito burn the blueprints in a way of preventing the world from suffering the pains of an industrial revolution too early. That, and prevent power from clouding his judgment.
