After 5 years.....

Albert is sitting in his study in front of the garden which is still covered in snow as ot always snow in Siberia, he was engrossed in his work. when suddenly a little figure come in front of the door connected to the gardan.

the little voice can be heard said "Daddy!! look what I've made". Albert lift his head and His serious expression changed in a second into a bright wide smile.

he stand up from his seat and move towards the little six year old Iris, he lift her up in his arms and said "really what have you made my princess".

Iris points toward outside and said excitedly "look there, there". Albert look into the direction where Iris were pointing and saw a big snowman about his hight. He said strictly "Iris did you use magic" after listening to her father's change of voice Iris didn't look into his eyes and said into a whisper while pouting "a little....."

seeing her pouting like that Albert can't bring himself to scolde her and again said with doting voice after signing "ha.."

"it's really big princess"

"isn't it" Iris again become her cheering self

"it is, ok time for study now". Iris answer in Low voice "ok..."

Albert take Iris again in his study and close the gardan gate and put Iris down, and take his seat beside her.

he said "princess, remember as a ruler you have to take care of your Kingdom and it's people. And always be good to those who be good to your people, and punish those who try to harm your Kingdom."

"Iris, I am with you and always be with you but always remember who you are, A true Ruler. Every commoner always think what they can get, but a true Ruler always think what they can give(1), Give to those who are in need but never show mercy on those who harm your Kingdom."

"ok father, I'll remember it to heart". Albert nodded and pat her head dotingly. He know that she is still small for all this but he wants to prepare Iris for best to worse as he, himself don't know when will he have to leave her side. "haa.." Albert sign after thinking about that matter again.

"Iris this month I'm going to start your sword fighting training, are you ok with that" Albert said.

Iris think for a while and answered "ok father but if father trains me so." Albert chuckle, he know Iris loves to spend her time with her father.

he said "ok, father will train you but General Kuan and lady officer Rin be your official trainers." Iris smile and said "ohk, as long as father be there"
