The atmosphere is cool. Today Behind the courtyard of the palace. A black-coat man was swinging a sword. The silver hair that was blown by the wind, his eyes showed seriousness, and the night breeze made the aura so felt.
His body flowed from one position to the next. Every movement seems to have a purpose. Be it cuts, stabs or spins.
At the end of the session, he stood still and put the sword back into his scabbard that was attached to his waist. He realized that he was being watched, and heard a small conversation from the terrace.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," he said.
"It's okay, it's us who are interfering with your training, Kato," replied a princess who ended with a smile.
Meanwhile, the older sister sighed. "It would have been better if we hadn't come."
"Actually, Big Sister deliberately met Kato, so his sword training became less focused."
"I don't deny it, because there are indeed things to talk about," she explained calmly.
"No problem. That means Masha-sama and Manda-sama have free time to have a casual conversation with me," Kato said, though he knows that he is always noticed before starting a conversation.
Remasha Aletra and Remanda Aletra are the older and younger sisters of Aletra's royal family. They are known for their red-haired, well-groomed ponytails, and bright green eyes. However, there are differences in them, namely: star hairpins on his big sister, and flowers on his younger sister.
"Yes, there is no agenda, therefore I will comply with your request," Masha replied, then drank a cup of warm tea.
Kato hesitated and asked, "Request? What is it?"
"Don't tell me you forgot about your ambitions," said Manda.
His eyes widened. Kato immediately bowed slightly respectfully to the sister. "Ah, thank you for reminding me, but are you sure?"
"I'm committed to building the organization you want."
"Since we have agreed, what first step will we take?" asked Manda enthusiastically.
"Of course members, but it's not that easy. First of all, where are we going to operate?" asked Kato, holding his chin and filled with curiosity.
"Headquarters, huh?" muttered Manda.
"An organization, if we don't want to be known, we have to be in a location far from the palace. The problem is not where, but how to find the right location?" said Masha.
Before anyone could answer, it was seen that the servant had just come to them. "Sorry to disturb, Miss, dinner has been prepared as scheduled."
According to Masha, the discussion broke up because the servant had damaged the mind to find the key and the way in the formation of a new organization. She immediately got up from his chair without replying and walked slowly.
Perhaps feeling the same way, Kato followed, while Manda was left behind with the servant.
"You didn't hear our conversation?" Manda asked.
"Honestly, I didn't hear it, Miss," replied the maid from the deepest heart.
"So? Thank you," Manda replied, then left her while chanting a distinctive rhythm.

Gathering and having dinner is one of Kato's privileges. However, he subtly refused, as he was not part of the family. He kept his distance and waited for the next order.
In the dining room surrounded by crystal chandeliers, long tables and luxurious chairs. King Aletra, sat at the end of the table with a stern face, and his wife had a gentle face beside him. Meanwhile, Masha and Manda are in their position facing their father and mother. They ate quietly while waiting for the right time to speak.
"Dad has a need to visit the village tomorrow morning. Masha, you come with Daddy."
"Okay, Father."
"It was unexpected that the village in question would send a report."
"Several villages have been visited. Maybe this report came from the same village," Masha said calmly, then wiped her lips neatly with a delicate napkin under her chin.
"That's right. Whether it's the same complaint or another, is it really that problematic?" replied the King as if exhausted and wondering.
"The village is a border. So, the inconvenience of residents is disturbed by residents opposite the possible cause."
"I hope that this village conflict does not spill over into more dangerous things than what they experienced."
"It's strange. The soldiers sent there should be able to overcome them," wondered Masha, who was concerned about the problem of attacks from outside the village at that time.
