By the way, the picture of the war plans is the photo that you see at the top.

The first few days were very unusual for me. Kayden is very.............attentive. He always laid out my clothes, ran my bath, hand-made and brought me up my meals, it was all very fancy, and the house was huge! My room was immense but to be fair, my room was the master bedroom so it was expected for it to be big but the other rooms were huge and there was a library, an art room, a gym, a board room, a bar, a hang-out room and many others but that was all I was able to go to before I got my first assessment. Kayden gave it to me during breakfast.
"War plans?" I asked.
"Soldiers infiltrated a Korean base to find these plans in it". He explained "All of our current military leader were unable to decode these plans so the head has passed them forward to you, if these plans are not decoded soon then it could break out into a world war".
"What!" I exclaimed "Why are these being given to me then?".
"Because you are one of the only people they think can decode this, also I presume this is to serve as your first assessment as well, Zara-sama". Kayden replied calmly.

Btw -sama is a Japanese honorific which is used to show respect just in can you guys don't watch anime and didn't know.

"What do you mean by first assessment" I asked.
"To ensure that you are capable of feats that are worthy of the WWBA they are giving you an ordeal in which you are to pass to maintain your status in the group" Kayden calmly explained." But I am surprised that she would give it to you so soon".

"Then why do you think she would give it to me?" I questioned him.
"Because she trusts you I imagine, just like I do" he replied with a light yet serious smile on his face. "Do you best, Zara-sama".

I blushed a little without realising. It was a bit annoying. From being worried and slightly stressed about having to solve this, with that one smile, I feel like I could accomplish it in seconds.

I couldn't.

After studying the plans from both sides of WWII I noticed that they were the same yet incredibly different as in the initial plan is the same but the most important point is completely different. It also seems like it marks American territory that they had no way of knowing about and no reason to infiltrate, as their war is with Britain and the Americans are the last people they would pick a fight with. It also had arrows pointing to Australia which you be a long and useless journey that would be easily and unavoidably detected. I spent the whole day trying to figure it out but to no avail. At around 6 o'clock, Kayden came on to tell me something.

"There is another meeting with the WWBA".

"But I haven't been able to finish this yet, do I have to go?" I asked.

"You have to go Zara-sama, you are the guest of honour" he replied.

"But......"

"It's ok Zara-sama, I know that you will finish it soon, so it's fine just attend".

I smiled gently at him.

"Ok then I'll go".

I wore the pink evening gown that Kayden picked out for me and we went to the Aurora Centre. I was greeted the same way I was last time accept, Kayden was very reluctant to leave my side. He stayed beside me constantly, not letting me out of his sight. Even when I went to the bathroom he waited outside.

"You don't have to be this protective" I commented.

"But I can't leave your side, because if something was to happen to you........." .
He started to look down in sadness.

"It's fine" I blurted out. He stared at me with shock which made me feel a little embarrassed. Then he smiled at me and linked his arms with mine.

"Well then, shall we go?" He asked cheerfully.
