*''Anna picked up the letter and looked at the front and back then slightly cocked her head to the side. Her father was a distinguished general and due to his missions he was always busy. When her father was on a mission, he would not send a single letter home and it wasn't until the end of the mission that he would return with a tired expression.''

*''Though she was only able to see her father two times year, Anna understood her father's situation. No, if anything, she longed for the same. The reason she had enrolled into military school was so she could be in the military just like her father.''

*''The military school was not just a school to play soldier, but to become a real soldier that goes on missions. It was  a place that would allow her to become the proud servicewoman that she had wished to become and be fairly acknowledged.''

*''She collapsed in place and stared blankly at the words in the letter as if she couldn't believe it. We would like to give our condolences. He met with the enemy, fought bravely, and we appreciate his efforts. Though she finished reading until the end, the only thing Anna could think about was the words 'report the death of'.''

*''I have been deployed to the very front lines of the battlefield. As a soldier, everyday you live is just life prolonged, so even if I die tomorrow on the battlefield there will be nothing wrong with it. Dying on the battlefield has always been my greatest desire. Though I don't think it is yet time for me... the current situation has made me think otherwise.''

*''A few weeks ago, I was put in charge of taking over a territory. This mission itself was very quick but an additional mission was sent to kill all natives of that land. The natives had already surrendered and unarmed. When we first arrived, the natives didn't put up any resistance and simply gave us the land.''

*''I disobeyed the direct order for the first time. I just couldn't murder hundreds of innocents. After that, I was demoted and relocated to a different place. I don't regret my decision, even if I was given the same choice today, I would still disobey it.''

*''I never regret my decisions... But I thought of you a lot. I remembered that I really never took the time to watch you grow. I wish I had taken more time to be with you... and be a great father to you. I am sorry that I let you down.''

*''If you happen to receive this letter along with my death.. Do not be sad. I know you are strong and you will make me proud. Never back down, always believe in yourself, Anna.''

*''The news of General Testarossa's death quickly spread through the campus. The General who disobeyed a direct order. Each time Anna would walk by, the students would quietly talk about it amongst themselves.''

*''Anna holds up her pen to scratch out her name but quickly put it back down and walks back to her room. She was just not interested in doing anything at the moment. Nothing interested her, the Imperial Princess or the guard duty.''

*''The cafeteria was busy prepping for the banquet. Anna looks at the scene with zero interest. A fluttering table cloth catches her attention and she looks over.''

*'''Anna:''' ''I know you are probably hungry but today's not a good day. Unless you want to be arrested, I think you should get out of here before more people notice us.''

*''Sharp voices flew left and right within the cafeteria and Anna just stood there with her head down. When the professor dismissed her, she bolted out of the cafeteria.''

*''There was a tiny storage far away from the cafeteria. It was used to store different ingredients used in the kitchen. The storage was in a secluded area and because of that, not a lot of people visited. Anna always used the storage whenever she was depressed or wanted to gather her thoughts.''

*''Anna balled up in a corner. Whenever she heard other people talk badly about her father, she got angry and wanted to cry. She couldn't take other people talking about her father as if they knew everything and making it worse like a bad rumor.''

*''Once Anna gathered her thoughts, she started to tell the girl about the story of her father. Once Anna finished her story, the girl looked at Anna with serious face and said.''

*'''Child:''' ''I mean, what else can you do about this whole situation right now. I agree that it is very tragic but you can't turn back time or cause a revolution within the army to change anything.''
