Pina stands there in pure shock, looking at her two Rose-Order leaders, Beefeater E Caty and Bozes Co Palesti. They have been her most loyal comrades for years, even being some of her closest friends. But right now, her mind is scrambling to figure out what she is witnessing.

"It hasn't even been a day..." She mumble out load. She can see both of them looking confused, realizing they did something wrong but still can't figure out what it was.

Both will get on one of their knees.

"Your highness, what is the matter. Are you not please with our gift?" Beefeater asks in a confused manner, trying to impress the princess.

"Yes, we ran into those warriors from Alnus an few leagues outside the city. There forces scattered without a fight." Bozes said in a not so confident c.o.c.ky tone. Trying to show off her achievement however still trying to figure out what she did wrong.

In the Princess head, all she could think about is the Capital City of Sedera in flames as those flying metal beasts laying waste to everything.

That is when that man would speak up. "Ahhh yeah, can I jump in?"

"Jump in? Your bound." Bozes says towards, him, shooting him a evil glare.

That man just ignores her and just keeps looking at me. She can tell that he is trying really hard just to stay sitting up. "Yes Major Sharpe."

All the Rose Knights in the chamber raises their eye brow, shocked and confused that she knew his name.

"One... no two things. One, don't worry about everything. Just a misunderstand... Nothing as bad as the Cartels and North Koreans would do..." He says, slurring his words a little. "Seec..n... TWO... bed please?" He will finish, a little breathless.

"Hamilton!" Pina says. She wouldn't have to say anything else. Hamilton would just rush to him and hold him up, unbounding him.

"You two, help me" Hamilton orders to two of the knights. Some of the knights would begin to get protective, confused on what is happening but everyone would shut up when Hamilton would yell back at them, repeating her orders. No one has ever heard her speak loudly, or even yell. They would do as order and would help him out of the chambers.

"Princess, what is the meaning of this! HE IS THE ENEMY!" Bozes say in frustration, not understanding what is happening.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Pina yells at her old friend Bozes. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID! WE JUST SIGNED A TREATY THIS MORNING! THIS MORNING MIND YOU!"

Beefeater begins to get nervous. She knows what Pina is talking about. "Your highness, I believe I have the treaty you speak of here." She will reach down and pull it out of her bag. "That man gave it to us."

Pina couldn't believe this, that American even showed them the treaty that she just signed, and they just ignored it. Are we that inferior that we can't even honor agreements? "You... you saw the treaty and ignored it...!"

"WE!" Bozes speaks up first buts then clams herself down. She would get back on her knee. "We thought it was a fake. We saw smoke coming from Italica and thought they attacked the city."

"Yes, they are the enemy mam. Why are you helping that man? We are at war, they have no honor, they abandon their own..." Beefeater will say before being interrupted by the princess.

"They saved the city from certain death. We were attacked by bandits, if it wasn't for them, everyone would be dead or enslaved! YOU FOOLS! The people from the Gate saved us all!" Pina yells at them, still struggling what is happening is happening.

She begins to explain what happened and how his people flew here in metal flying wagons and destroyed the enemy within minutes. They defeated the enemy and then ask for nothing in return. Everything in the treaty was their idea. And then she will go off on a massive rant about how the Empire will be destroyed by their overwhelming weapons and that she just secured a line of hope for peace, maybe just maybe saving the Empire for certain defeat. But they, just might have ruined it all.

Pina, she sometimes can get angry, but she rarely explodes on her people. Always being an example to her people but this time she let everything out on these two. All day, these feelings and the stress of the situation have be growing in her and she finally let it all out.

They tired protesting at first but then they realized that they screwed up. "I am sorry your highness." Bozes will say. "Please let me make it up to you."

Pina drop herself back into her throne, cross her legs and think. "You.... I need to think; I will deal with you all later."

The team will reach the southern gate. The three guards would be knocked out by the Rangers, sneaking up one them. They all are wearing their night devises, that allow them to see in the dark.

Rory be standing there thinking how strange how these people are moving. They are running around like children playing some hiding game. They are heroes of this city, why are they acting like this. To her right will is Lelei, having the same reaction as she is. She seems confused herself. To her left is Selina, looking just as confused.

Second Lieutenant Charles Johnson, the dark skin soldier of the team seems to take full command. It is funny on how many titles these people have. The nobles of this world have all these names and titles to make them feel more superior then the common folk. But these people, they have a title for a title for a title, funny and strange at the same time.

Originally, he wanted to split the team into two groups, leave some at their vehicles to babysit Lelei and Selina. To everyone surprise, Selina protested, and she wasn't going to let it go. Rory thought it was adorable and agreed to watch over her during the Lieutenant mission.

As the soldiers move building to building, slowly heading to the palace, the three girls will just walk down the middle, just watching them do their 'soldier thing'.

As they get close, they will run into this female cat looking human in a maid uniform. She will be standing there, looking at them. "Ahhh, finally. I was beginning to wonder if that smell was you. My name is Persia, I will escort you back to the palace."

All the Rangers will look at each other confused until one of them ask the question "smell?" Scoot asks.

Lelei walks up to Persia. "She is a cat humanoid; her kind have great ability to smell and hear from long distance. She probably knew we were coming before we got to the gate."

"You're kidding?" Randy asks, shocked by that.

Rory sees that Cat lady wave to her, and she waves back. "Hi there, it has been awhile. Nice to see you again."

Once Persia finished saying that, she will notice all the soldiers look right at her. Charles asks that she knows people here.

"Of course, I know lots of people." Rory says all innocently.

The Cat women again speaks. "She is Rory Mercury, the apostle of Emroy." She smiles and looks to the Lieutenant, recognizing that he is the new leader. "I have your commander; we are treating him. You are all safe. Please follow me."

Bozes Co Palesti is walking down the hallway of the palace. Today has not gone the way she thought. She thought that capturing the enemy leader would bring her honor and glory, but it became her greatest humiliation of her life... well now second.

Her and Pina had a very long talk about what she could do to make things right and now her highness wants to offer herself to earn that man forgiveness. Do whatever she has to do to 'fix' this crisis. Lay, please or even marry if demands it.

She would hate every bit of it, wanting to be with someone she loves, not because of some diplomatic relations issue. Expectably with the enemy of the Empire, what a disgrace.

However though, she has always been loyal to her princess. They have been friends since they were children and highly respects her. If this is what she has to do to earn her place by her side again, she will do it.

As she gets close to the door, she will hear all this noise coming from the room. It will sound like music, but it sounds so hard, loud. It does not matter; she has a duty to do and will fulfill it. She will open the door, taking a deep breath.

Once she opens the door, she sees all these people all in there. They are all the same people she saw before, in those strange metal wagons, plus Rory Mercury, some blue hair girl and another dark brown hair girl. Hamilton is here to, playing some game with this paper cards and some of the maids will also be in the fun.

And that is when she sees that man, sitting up on the room bed. He is shirtless, bandages covering some of the wounds I personally gave him before. It looks like he would be enjoying the fun with everyone else.

What is the meaning of this!? She came here, a sacred, private embarrassing moment. This, is just disgracing, dose the gods hate me right now?

That is when she will hear her name, coming from Hamilton. She waves over to her "Bozes!... why are you dressed like that?"

"You... YOU BASTARD!" She will take her slipper off and throw it at that man and storm back to her room.
