[i]-- Tokyo, [b]Japan[/b][/i]

As the night falls, the city brightens itself with a beautiful display ranging throughout the every streets and blocks. The authorities were also present in the city in sure of the protection to its people from unexpected crime and foreign spies, lurking in every dark alleys of the city. The people have fun talking to each other, finishing their busy jobs, and head back to their home to take a rest for the another day.

Within the city, Ayashi is wandering around the streets with her guards present around her, protecting her in the order of the Imperial family. People looked in awe at their beautiful Imperial princess, wanting to meet her and talk to her but she's not interested so she told her guards to distant them away from her. Reaching in front of many people watching the news on TV, she began to wondering in curious, looking at the TV as the crowd gave her space to watch the news.

In the news, they discussed about the speech gave by the [i]Grand Emperor of Whampoa, Berthold[/i], with an empress beside him, Theresia. He gave a speech about the violence occurred in the southern part of Japan and condemned the people who's involved in physical violence against the peace protesters. After his speech, Theresia gave her speech but instead, she blamed the peace protesters for making this sudden violence happened. Berthold criticized her speech and suddenly, Theresia gone into madness as her selfishness took the view, shocking many people.

Before this news continued, Ayashi groaned as she immediately left the crowd, making them surprised as the guards followed her. After being away from the crowd's sight, she halted and took a deep breath to cool herself from her sudden anger burning inside her. Being noticed by one of her guard, the guard asked her politely.

"Your Imperial Highness?" the guard asked, "Is there something wrong?"

After being noticed, she got surprised by her guard, immediately trying to gain her stance back.
"Uh-No no! Not at all!" she repeatedly said, waving both of her hands.

"I see. Then my apology for asking you unprepared, your Imperial Highness." the guard bowed in apology.

After relieving herself, she continued to walk with her guards. While wandering, she's still thinking about that speech, the speech given by Theresia. Still feeling the anger inside, she can't help it but hold it for longer until the end of her tour.

'[i]That bitch...[/i]' she ranted in her thought, '[i]Who has her right to say that the peaceful protesters is to be blamed for this riot? She's nothing but a selfish and narcissistic slut who ordered her own men for her interest, not for her people. Sad to think her people is brainwashed to her delusional beliefs but saying being a nation being the proud heir of Japan? She's has no fucking idea how the people of Japan felt during that time![/i]'

Arriving into a restaurant, her guards stayed in front of the entrance as she been asked by the waitress and received a seat beside the window. She sat on her seat and sighed from her long travel, leaning back against her chair to take a rest. Waiting her order to be arrived, a person entered into the restaurant as she looked at the person, she became shocked in surprised.

"F-Father?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, her father looked at her, becoming surprised as well but happy to see her. He walked towards her and took a seat that is placed in front of her. As the time ticked on, she sweatdropped, being afraid of what will her father said about her going outside. The silence continues until her father spoke first.

"So... I assumed that you followed my advice?"

"I-I'M NOT A LONER, FATHER!" she shouted in the mixed emotion of anger and embarrassment, "I-I'm just taking a break!"

"I see..." he sighed, "I thought you'd be here for the remembrance on the other hand."

"Huh?" she got confused, "What do you mean 'remembrance'?"

After her statement, a thunder is heard from the distance. Suddenly, a moderate rain occurred as seeing the window being hit by every droplets of water from the sky. Wow, weather is sure running fast now.

He sighed as he leaned back against his chair in relief from stress. While her daughter, Ayashi, is still looking at him, wanting to know about this 'remembrance', he took a deep breath as he prepared to speak about it to her daughter.

"Do you know about this restaurant first before this night?" he asked.

"No, why?" she shrugged off, never seeing it in her memories.

"Since you are a baby and your brother is few years older than you, me and your mother always bring you two here. Your mother always look at your beautiful face with her beautiful blue-eyes, being happy around you, while I took care of your big brother, who kept whining about wanting to buy a toy he loves with my pocket money." he laughed, as Ayashi wanted to know more about it in her curiosity.

"Then what happened?"

"The moment when you finally opened your eyes for the first time.." he happily said, "As your mother called me in surprised, I looked and I, too, surprised as your big brother followed. You have a bright blue-eyes like your mother."

Before she could speak, her father continued...
"After this, your mother told me something, the 'something' that we would never forget."

"What did she said?.." she asked, with her tone gone lower.

"[i]To the future from this day, I would be happy to see my daughter to grow up into something I wanted; a beautiful lovely woman with a strong heart, the heart not only us as a family but heart to your people.[/i]"

After he reinstated her mother's quote, the room gone silent as the employees of the restaurant, overheard their conversion, stayed quiet and wait until they're done. After awhile, she looked down to the floor, showing her sadden emotion. Noticing this, her father stood up and walked to her, trying to relieving her until his daughter answered.

"D-Dad?.." she called, surprising him as she called him 'Dad' instead of her usual preference, 'Father'.

"Yes, Ayashi?"

"I-I missed h-her..." she stuttered as she looked up to him, showing her tears flowing down, "I-I missed m-mom.."

She burst out crying as the father hugged her, patting her back to calm her down. Even if the employees had their orders ready, they have to wait to respect them even if their food will going to cool down.

"Hush now, my dear child." he calmly said, "I missed her too, as well."

After this, she's now calm as she and her father walked back home. Even if they didn't took their orders, the guards took their orders and brought it to their home instead.
