Damn!! So it is Easter! so that's why there were eggs all over...

Tsk tsk...

"This big brother is someone who came from this orphanage too, like you. He came back to offer some help and donations.

Right, what do you plan to do from now on Reynald?" the old lady said in a very gossipy manner.

"Well... I was planning on getting a nobility to help more in the orphanage, or maybe even be knighted if I can." Reynald answered with a wry smile as he remembered that the orphanage does not need much help now. "Right, who is this little sister?"

"Aiya... You, kid, are a really good person. I did not make a mistake when I gave you the chance to go abroad before.

You did not change and become a bad person even when there is no one looking after you in America.

It's the thought that counts so don't worry about it, just do what you want to do." the old lady said with gladness in tone.

"I am Fray Bow, big brother." the girl, Fray Bow, said elegantly, in a standard British way. "So... You just came back from abroad? How is America? How is it different from our empire?"

"Alright, ask questions while helping us prepare the soup.

Come here, help me with this." the old lady said to Fray as she gestured into the thing she was doing.

"Hmm..." Reynald hummed in affirmation as he saw Fray moving to help them. "That's right, I just came back. America is not that much different though.

The standard of living there is quite high too and everyone is all about freedom and being equal.

People are still people anywhere." Reynald said nonchalantly as he continued helping in preparing the soup.

"Get Sir knight of one to promise becoming the test pilot of his unique exclusive mech or I won't make it to the best I can!

Tell this to the others too!" AA shouted to his subordinates as the whole research and mechanic team started building a proto type for Bismarck's swordsman knightmare frame.

"Oooohh! This should really be good! Will this swordsman knightmare frame be stronger than my Empress knight?!" Marianne asked from the side.

"Hmmm... I can't answer that yet. The strength of the exclusive unique knightmare frame will only be at the limit of what the pilot can do." AA said leisurely as he looked at the calculations and files on his temporary table and office which is in the open.

They are currently in a hangar where they make knightmare frames from scratch.

"You mean...?" Marianne asked with wide eyes.

"That's right! The knightmare frame will only be as strong as the pilot can be in a relative scale.

This is why I needed them to be the test pilot.

It is to fine tune and adjust the mech into the most compatible one with them.

I can't just make the strongest mech, you know.

Even your Empress knight had some leeway in other areas, it is because adding more things will just be a burden to you because the Empress mech itself is set to your highest limit and a bit more.

It is also Adjusted to what you are talented of.

Don't you feel like even though the controls of your knightmare frame is so complicated that it is too comfortable to pilot it, not like others?

That's the gist of things." AA said nonchalantly as he continued doing what he had been doing.

"Oh! But I am good with swords too, why does my Empress knight not have one?!" Marianne asked with a pout.

"It is because you got used to the Ganymede that you first piloted.

Remember that the Ganymede does not have any weapon except it's long arms.

Even if you are good at fighting with sword in personal combat, you became more comfortable with using bare hands in mech battles.

If you want to use sword with knightmare frames then you should practice with your spare multi purpose mech.

That thing has a sword, you should get some researcher or mechanic to collect data while you practice using a sword with mechs." AA said calmly.

"Alright! I will just do that, then!" Marianne said with fighting spirit and determination before moving into the gathering of researchers and mechanics as she picked one of each and ordered her royal guard to take them into the testing area.

'Sigh... So rash and impatient. You did not even say anything before going off!

What the hell is Marianne even doing here almost everyday?

Does she not take care of Lelouch?

That can't do! Lelouch was a mama's boy before he became a siscon!

Hey, hey, hey. She is almost always here everyday and almost always with me every night.

Tsk tsk tsk...

She will get a piece of me later.

For now, let's concentrate on doing what I am doing.' AA thought to himself.

"Alright! Let's start making the proto type!

Is there a swordsman test pilot substitute that we can use?!

Someone go get one because Sir Bismarck will definitely take some to have a free schedule to be the test pilot!

Where is the parts that we need?!

There?! Good!

Unrelated personnel should start going out now!

Move! Move! Move!" AA shouted at the top of his lungs with a megaphone in hand as he gave orders to his subordinates.

'Tsk tsk... With Charles always absent in official meetings, Bismarck needed to be the one who manages everything as his right hand man.

That kind of arrangement will make this poor fellow not have much of a free time.

Hahaha!

Pitiful Bismarck!

Just imagining the things that he will have to do...

The paperworks!

The politics!

Dumb officials and subordinates!

I myself am having a head ache just thinking about it.

Aiya...

I am really thankful that I can just deligate most of the unimportant and hustle things to others and there are quite a few competent fellows in my subordinates.

Right, I don't have much to do, now that I have given the orders.

Let's think about the things I have done then, it's been a while since I did a summary of myself.' AA thought to himself.
