New chapter so enjoy!

"Why do you say that my son?" said Ywach

"Well, my grandfather believed Quincies and soul reapers should work together to protect humans from hollows." Said Uryu nervously.

Bambietta looked at Uryu like he was stupid.

"Leave us" he said in a stern voice.

And without question all the sternritter besides Jugram left the dining room. Uryu could see Bambietta giving him a smirk as the doors shut.

"Do you believe in that?" asked Ywach

That was a good question, did he? Uryu remembered seeing his grandfather go meet with the Shinigami only to see his disappointed face when he came back. It was clear that the soul reapers would never even give his grandfather's proposal a chance about Quincies being first responders to hollows.

"I-I don't know."

"Your grandfather has a strange philosophy, but I'm afraid it's a flawed one" he then put his fork down. "Soken Ishida couldn't understand that peace could never happen with the Shinigami as they want a world with fear.

"What do you mean?" asked the young Quincy.

"Are you aware of what happens when a Quincy dies?"

Jugram furrowed his brow. "His he really telling him this?" he thought. Jugram knew the true reason Uryu was here, it wasn't because Ywach genuinely wanted Uryu to be his successsor, no it was because Ywach wants to find a way to use his power for his own gain. The boy was an oddity being able to survive aushwallen.

"D-Don't they go to the soul society."

"They don't, all of my children's souls go to me when they die."

Uryu's eyes widened, he could only think what kind of being Ywach was.

"Ever since I could remember I can hear and experience the fear of my children as they die."

"So does that mean my grandfather's soul went to you when he died." Questioned the young Quincy.

"I'm afraid not your grandfather's soul was extracted by the soul reapers."

"Then why couldn't you save him?"

Ywach gave the prince a look of sadness before getting up and going to a big window that faced city. "Come here my son" he said as he waved his successor over.

Uryu came over to Ywach and asked the same Question "Why couldn't you save him?"

The quincy king then put his hand on his successor's shoulder "We tried to my son but by the time we knew about it was already too late.

Jugram knew This was a lie by ywach as he knew Soken was in trouble but didn't care as he saw it as a chance to take Uryu

"Is there a way I can see him then" said Uryu with last bit of hope he had.

"No"

W-Why not?"

"If he's been taken by the soul reapers there's no doubt he's been tortured and killed."

Jugram eyes widened he knew that ywach was trying to manipulate the boy, but he didn't know he would be so blunt about it.

Tears started to go down Uryu's face. Why would the soul reapers do something so terrible to an old man?

"Why would they do that?" he asked while sobbing.

Ywach then pulled Uryu into a hug which surprised Jugram he had never seen Ywach like this, to see him pretend to be sympathetic was odd.

Now to Uryu this was what he needed now; a hug honestly felt good.

"Because we quincy threaten their world of fear." Said the Quincy king as he let go of Uryu

"What do you mean?" said uryu as he wiped his tears.

Ywach thought about if he should tell Uryu about his goal, I mean the boy still needed to be reeducated. So, the Quincy king decided to not tell Uryu yet, not until he was fully committed to him, and his grandfather's philosophy and teachings completely snuffed out of him.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that right now, not until you're ready."

As Uryu was about to say something a knock was heard at the door. Jugram walked out of his corner and proceeded to open the door revealing a woman with black hair, she wore a quincy cloak with the wandenreich symbol right in the middle. She walked into the room and immediately bowed.

"Young Greystone, I didn't see you at dinner."

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it your majesty I got held up by some by some people that weren't happy about the announcement and don't worry they been dealt with."

Greta Greystone was an odd sternritter that jugram had recruited when ywach was in slumber. In fact, a lot of the sternritter didn't think to highly of her as they thought her schrift was useless but what she lacked in her shcrift she more than made up for it with her skills in Quincy abilities and hand to hand combat, so much so that she was Quilge Opie's favorite student. Mrs. Greystone served another purpose though as she was Bambietta's watcher as the bomb throwing sternritter was too young to do some of her duties.

"I see." Ywach then looked at Uryu "Uryu this is Greta Greystone she is in charge of watching you and young Basterbine"

Uryu cocked his head. "Why do I need someone watching me?"

This time Greta spoke. "Because not everyone accepts you as his majesties successor and they might try harm you."

Uryu's heart stopped, did his own people not like him?

Ywach then put his hand on Uryu's shoulder. "It's getting late my son; you had a tuff day you should get some sleep. You also have training tomorrow."

Greta then got up and grabbed Uryu's arm gently and got him out of the room leaving Ywach and Jugram alone.

The Quincy king sat back down in his chair and turned his attention to Jugram. "I want every book and mention of Aushwallen destroyed and tell all the sternritter that they are forbidden from talking about it."


With Greta and Uryu

The walk was silent as Uryu and Greta walked down the hallway.

"Excuse Ms. Greystone?"

Greta turned her attention to the boy, completely surprised by his kindness. She was glad he wasn't a brat like Bambietta

"Why don't the other Quincy like me?" he asked.

Greta only sighed "because some people don't like the idea of a gemischt like you being his majesties successor."

"What's a gemischt?"

"A million questions this one" thought Greta. she smiled at Uryu but as she was about to answer a voice interrupted.

"It means your useless."

Greta immediately sighed because that voice belonged to an annoyance she was assigned to watch over.

"Now, Bambietta is that any way to talk to the prince" said Greta as she crossed her arms.

"Whatever can we just get your room lackey, I'm tired." Bambietta said as she yawned.

A tic mark grew on Greta's forehead. "I'm not your lackey and in case you forgot I'm your caretaker Basterbine, so that means you listen to me you little brat!" she yelled. The older sternritter then calmed down, it was ridiculous that she was fighting with a kid.

Uryu just watched as the two girls fought in front of him but that stopped as Bambietta brought her attention to him.

"What's he even doing here, I thought his majesty would have killed him for saying such rubbish." Said Bambietta as she referred to Uryu's earlier comments about soul reapers and Quincy working together.

"she's really mean" thought Uryu

"I've been assigned to watch over him, so no one tries to hurt him" Greta said.

The three eventually got to a door with a giant S on it.

"All right here we are" Greta said as she opened the door.

Uryu looked into the room and was amazed. The room was all blue with nice furniture and a kitchen. It was honestly like a nice cozy apartment. As the prince was about to step into the room, he was pushed by an annoyed Bambietta.

"Uh, will you just move already!" she said as she shoved Uryu to the ground.

Uryu felt the cold floor as he hit it, his glasses had fallen off and he was worried that they would break.

"YOUNG LADY YOU GET BACK HERE AND APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Greta but Bambietta had already gone to her room and closed it. "AND YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE THIS APARTMENT!" Greta finished.

"I-Its fine" said Uryu as he got up and put his glasses on

Greta only sighed. "I'm really sorry about her I know she can be rude" as she said that she noticed the gemischt yawn making her smile. "Let's get you to bed" she said as she led Uryu tom his room.

Couple of minutes later

Uryu laid tucked into his bed. Greta had supplied him some pajamas that had Quincy crosses everywhere on it.

"So ya tucked in" said Greta as she stood next to Uryu's bed but as she was about to leave she noticed tears in young gemischt;s eyes. "What's wrong?"

"All the people who care about me are gone" said Uryu as he started sobbing.

Greta felt bad for the kid because she knew what it was like to not have family as she had grown up in the orphanage but wait didn't, he have a father? She went back to the bed and crouched to where she was eye to eye with the gemischt. "What about your father?"

"He doesn't care about me; he doesn't even care about being a Quincy because there's no profit in it. All he cares about is money and not saving people from hollows!" cried Uryu

Greta leaned in and gave the prince a hug. "You don't have to worry about that anymore, you're with your own kind now."

"But they don't like me."

"They will come around eventually because you will be a great prince."

Uryu started to calm down. "How do you know?"

"Because his majesty sees a great power in you and he's never wrong" Greta said with a smile.

"Can you sing to me?"

W-What?

"M-My mother used to sing to me whenever I cried" he said shyly.

Greta just chuckled before saying "Sure." So that's what she did, she sang to the prince till he fell asleep.


Hours Later

Uryu tossed and turned in his sleep. Images of his grandfather getting slaughtered by hollows constantly flashed in his mind. Tears were starting to go down his face.

"No leave him alone!" yelled Uryu as he awoke.

He looked around in his room as Greta wasn't there anymore. Uryu really wished she was here so she could sing him back to sleep. He knew she was asleep but the gemischt didn't want to wake her.

"I need some air" he thought as he got up, got his glasses on and left the room.

The prince avoided the servants as he walked down the dark hallway, no doubt they wouldn't be happy if the prince wasn't in bed. Uryu also didn't want people to see him as he still had tears in his face. The gemischt stopped at a window that had a view of the city, it looked nice as it temporarily put him at ease.

"Oh, you're here," said a voice.

Uryu panicked as he turned around only to be met with Bambietta. Now Uryu had mixed opinions on the girl as it was clear she didn't like him.

"What are you doing here?" asked Uryu as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

I could ask you the same thing gemischt" Bambietta said as she went up to the prince. She had a sadistic smile on her face as she saw the tears on Uryu's face. Oh, this is going to be fun. "Are you crying" the bomb throwing sternritter said while laughing.

"N-No"

"Oh, I think you are. I can't believe our prince is a giant baby."

Uryu was taken aback at the rudeness of this girl, why was she so mean?

"Are you ok?" asked Uryu

Bambietta stopped laughing. Why was he asking her if she was, ok? He should be mad, she insulted him!

"What do you mean am I'm ok?"

"Well, you're being mean for no reason" said Uryu innocently.

"Mean? God you are pathetic!" exclaimed Bambietta

"Are you done?"

"Am I done? Are you going to say anything back! Come on grow a pair and fight back!" yelled Bambietta as she poked the gemischt's chest.

"W-Well my grandfather always said it pointless to get useless squabbles."

Bambietta looked at Uryu with fury. It was kind of funny how red her face got.

"Useless squabble! everything I do is of the upmost importance!" she yelled.

At this point servants were starting to investigate the noise Bambietta was making

"Hey, calm down there going to hear us" Uryu then grabbed Bambietta's hand making her blush.

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING! UNHAND ME YOU BASTARD!"

Uryu then shushed her. "Come on. let's go over here."

The two quincies ran to another wing of the castle and hid in the kitchen.

"Alright I think we got away" said Uryu.

He then looked at Bambietta who was shaking with rage.

"Don't you ever touch me again" She growled.

W-Well I'm sorry but we had to move because you were making to much noise and I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be up at this hour either."

"Tch, whatever I'm only up at this hour because I'm hungry, so I guess you did something useful" she said as she went to the pantry.

"Now that you mention it, I didn't really get to eat" said Uryu as he went to the pantry.

'Well, get something" she said as she grabbed a bag a chips.

"Um can I get some of those."

No"

"Oh ok"

Bambietta growled, why wouldn't Uryu defend himself? "You are such a wimp and wait a minute why are we running from servants." She said as she angrily stomped on the ground.

"Because were not supposed to be up" said Uryu as he remembered what Greta said to Bambietta.

"So, we can just kill them" said Bambietta nonchalantly.

"W-What?" said Uryu

Bambietta sucked her teeth in frustration. "Do you not have ears, I said why don't we just kill them, I mean I do it all the time.


Later

Uryu didn't know what to make of Bambietta as she would constantly insult him at every opportunity, but he wanted to try and get along with her as she was the only person his age around here. Yeah, she was sadistic but still he should at least try to befriend her, heck maybe he can talk her out doing that to soldats?"

"Uhm Bambietta why do you kill your subordinates?'" he said Innocently.

"Because I'm their superior."

"That still doesn't give you the right to kill them."

Bambietta stopped. "Who cares there just soldats"

"But they're still our people!" as Uryu said that his mouth was covered by Bambietta' hand.

"Shut up you idiot before they- "

"There you guys are!" said a female voice.

Bambietta didn't get to finish as Greta grabbed her arm.

"Was that Hirenkyaku" thought Uryu

"Young lady you're supposed to be in bed" Greta then turned her attention to Uryu "and you to young man" she said as she grabbed his arm.

The walk was silent as she dropped Bambietta in her room and Uryu in his. As she tucked Uryu in, the young Quincy had a question.

"Now why did you leave your bed Uryu" Greta with disappointment in her face.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't sleep" Uryu said.

"Well, at least you said sorry unlike Bambietta." Sighed Greta

"Can you sing to me again?"

Greta smiled and began to sing to the young prince again.


In The World of The Living

Isshin Kurosaki was awoken by a knock on his door.

"W-What?" said the ex-Captain.

As he got his bearings right, he could sense who was knocking at the door.

"Ryuken?" he thought to himself as he went down the stairs and opened the door.

"I can't find him" said Ryuken as he stared at the ground.

Who?"

"My son"

Isshin's eyes widened. "Uryu's missing"

"Those bastards took him!" Ryuken said with anger as punched the wall.

Issshin immediately knew what he was talking about. Ywach, the bastard that was responsible for his wife's death.

"Why would he take Uryu?"

"Because my son is the only gemischt Quincy to survive aushwallen"

"What about his grandfather?"

Ryuken just looked at the ground. "He's dead"


Back to the Shatten beriech

"Hey sweetie wake up," said Greta.

Uryu awoke to the sound of Greta's voice. It honestly reminded him of how his mother used to wake him up.

"W-What?" said Uryu as he woke up.

"It's time to train, so get up" she said as she threw a uniform at him.

Uryu looked at the uniform with interest. It was White trench coat with a wandenreich insignia on the left of it. It also came with black boots and a black belt.

"Oh, yea here you go" said Greta as she threw a cap near him. She then went to the door that led into the hallway. "Hurry up and change so you can get breakfast because you meet with Quilge opie in an hour."

Uryu was only left with his thoughts as the door shut. Just who was Quilge Opie?

After Uryu changed he went to go meet Greta in the dining room only to meet Bambietta who was sitting at the table.

"Finally, you're up" groaned Bambietta

"Were you waiting for me?"

"Uh yeah, she wouldn't let me eat till you got down."

Greta came through the door wearing her sternritter outfit, her attention immediately went to Uryu

"Alright hurry up and eat."

Uryu looked at the table, it was filled with eggs, bacon, and sausage. It looked delicious as the gemischt sat down and ate but as he did a question hit his mind.

"Who's Quilge Opie?"

"Just some asshole" said Bambietta as she ate her eggs.

Greta just gave her a glare before looking at Uryu. "He's the leader Jagdarmee but he's also the combat instructor for the sternritter, in fact most of the stenritter were trained by him.

Uryu couldn't lie to himself but part of him was excited to learn new Quincy techniques. The gemischt then thought about what Ywach said yesterday about a "schrift"

"what's a schrift?"

A schrift is a letter his majesty bestows on your soul to awaken an inner power." Greta then turned her attention to Bambietta "Bambietta was chosen because his majesty sensed a great power from her and awoken it."

Bambietta just smiled she loved when someone praises her.

"What's her schrift?" asked Uryu

As Greta was about to explain she was cut off by Bambietta

"My ability is called THE EXPLODE, it allows me throw reishi at anything and when it does it explodes." She then looked at Uryu "Pretty cool don't 'cha think." Bambietta said as she was about to put a fork full egg in her mouth.

"I guess"

Bambietta dropped her eggs. "What do you mean 'I guess' it's a great ability!"

Greta only sighed at Bambietta's anger. "All right hurry up and eat, Quilge is waiting.


The Combat Arena

After breakfast Greta took the prince and Bambietta down to the training area. As they opened the door they were greeted by a large dome-like room with an arena in the middle. Uryu noticed that the stands had the letters of all the sternriters.

"Ahh isn't it his majesties successor." Said a man wearing a sternritter outfit with a cap on his head.

"Who are you?" asked Uryu

"I'm Quilge Opie" he then conjured a sword. "Let's begin today's training."
