“Father would not agree with your philosophy.” “It is probably just as well he is not here to hear it.” Relena glared at her shoes, knowing she would need to wear them again if only for a short time. “The world is a very different place and I like to think the human race is just a little older and a bit wiser. You helped in that education.” “It is dangerous to have me King of Sanc.” “It is dangerous to exist. Brother, I’m tired. Tired of working long hours and seeing little in the way of benefit for those hours of effort. Some days I could barely keep my eyes open. I could not maintain the pace for much longer and while it is an honour to be Princess of Sanc I feel my calling actually lies in the ESUN. I have been informed that next year, around mid-year, there will be changes made in the government.” He was watching her and his hands were gentle on her toes, rubbing at the pads. “Changes?” “I will be offered the position of Foreign Minister and I intend to accept. To help more people I need to move up in the government and I can’t do that if I am bound to Sanc. Borders around the world are being reinstated but it has been done in a peaceable fashion and I am not inclined to rock the boat. Peace will not simply be, it must be worked at, coaxed, guided. I understand now a large portion of human nature is to want what your neighbour has so we should be working to ensure everyone has the same benefits. Inequality cannot be permitted as it breeds discontent and discontent breeds conflict. War has had its way with much of mankind’s history and various versions of peace but peace none the less. It is a rather deceptive word, don’t you think? Peace. So much is done in the name of peace, so many wrongs committed and lies told.” “Treize would be pleased with you.” The Princess sighed and straightened up as the car slowed down. She would be thankful to find her bed this night. “Treize Kushrenada. He took the world by storm, didn’t he?” “So did you.” “I was naïve, a teenager who knew it all and was used by others to further their own aims. That includes your Treize Kushrenada. I suppose I shone but when it came to conflict I paled and had no idea what to do. He eclipsed me so easily, Milliardo. One minute I was Queen of the World and the next I was free, a teenager again and in that moment I could have walked free. I could have gone back to being a teenager with all the selfishness, arrogance and innocence of my age.” “Why did you not?” “Because I was too young and hyped up with my own infallibility and I could not see it at the time.” End
