| | One day, two letters were delivered to Anna Testarossa pertaining to her father, whom she strongly aspired to be like. The first letter informed her of her father's death in battle, which left her devastated. The second letter was a posthumous one from her father himself, stating how he felt his life would soon come to an end due to him disobeying the corrupt military's orders. She was also informed that the Imperial Princess would be visiting her military academy soon. Anna felt lost, and things only felt worse as she overheard fellow students gossiping about her father, and how he was seen as a disgrace in their eyes. |

| |Requirement= | | On the day of the Princess' arrival, Anna was on guard duty in the cafeteria when she managed to catch a strange child who had snuck into the kitchen. The child agreed to leave, and commended Anna on her excellent guard duty. Meanwhile, attendees of the event argued against having Anna on guard duty due to her father's actions, in which prompted the professor to dismiss her. She fled to a small storage area to be alone and gather her thoughts. The strange child appeared once more, expressing concern and offering a bit of advice after hearing Anna's story. She once again disappeared as Anna tried to control her anger. |

| | On the last night of the Princess' visit, Anna pretended to be one of her attendants to get out of guard duty. She was out for a walk when she once again spotted the child, who explained that she too had a similar situation as her. She asked Anna what are the things she can do, and what are the things she wants to do, although Anna was not sure how to answer. Later, she once again met the child during a military inspecton to celebrate the Princess' visit, only to realize that the child had been Princess Ezre all along. The Princess cleared all convictions of Anna's father, and respects were paid to the fallen general. During the ceremony, Princess Ezre asked Anna if she had found the answer to her quest, to which Anna said yes. The Princess encouraged her to move forth, as Anna swore to herself to become a proud soldier, and Protect the Princess who had saved her from her misery. |

| *''Anna wiped the sweat off her brow and gently placed the revolver on the desk. The weak scent of gunpowder filled the room since she had just come back from shooting practice.''
| | |
| *'''Anna''': ''(I wasn't expecting a letter from anyone... Was it father?)''
| | ===<u>[[Story/Side Story/Before Joining (Rose) 2|Before Joining 2]]</u>=== |
| *''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.''

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'.''

| *''To Anna. It's been a long time, Anna. Are you doing well? I hope you are able to safely receive this letter... Even if you receive this along with receiving terrible news, I hope that you will not be startled. 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. This letter might be the last letter I send you. Tomorrow, the troops are heading into a dangerous battle. I hope I live to send you another letter, but.... If you happen to receive this letter along with my death.. Do no be sad. I know you are strong and you will make me proud. Never back down, always believe in yourself, Anna.''

| *'''Anna''': ''...''
| |
| *''The letter fell to the ground as Anna's grip weakened.''
| |
| *'''Anna''': ''(The path of the soldier... The army... What good is it for? How can I be a proud soldier... When it is so corrupts...?) ...... Father...''

| *''On the day of the Princess's arrival, Anna was already on guard duty long before the actual arrival and was in the process of stretching inside the cafeteria. 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''': ''(Sneaking in on my watch? Not a chance..)''
| |
| *''A tiny girl was crawling across the cafeteria floor in shabby clothes.''
| |
| *'''Anna''': ''(I head the street thugs around the area orders kids to fetch left over food from wealthy areas... Is she one of them? I feel bad but.. I can't allow this to happen today.)''

| *'''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.''
| |
| *'''Anna''': ''(They know nothing...)''
| |
| *''There was a tiny storage fare 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.''
| |

With my choice there will be people laughing and crying... I was too scared of responsibilities that I was busy running away from it. I told everyone around me that I wasn't up for you, I cannot make such important choices... Those were some of the things that I've been telling others around me.''
| |
| *''The girl put a bitter smile and paused. Anna remembered the phrase 'How annoying', the phrase that she had been saying ever since her father's death. Anna knew that she was no different from the little girl.''
| |
| *'''Child''': ''But then someone said this to me. 'That's it? I thought it was something important.' I, of course got mad at that person, just like you. I couldn't understand them. I was so sad and scared but that person didn't even try to cheer me up. When I asked just like you, you know what that person said to me?''
