A/n: here's the music to set the tone for this chapter hehe.

It was when Sergey Fedorov found the ten years old Arina in the Belaya Posadka Front unit and brought her back to her father. The man was blown away at first but soon converted into being disgusted. However, he had an idea in his head, which he tricked Arina by being nice to her and led her to a strange operation to fulfill his evil plan.

Days passed and after receiving enough love and attention from her Father and respect from others, Arina just...returned to her true nature. On the other hand, the cost of it was to lose all the memories she had in that false self, but her body memories remained.

"Cease that, child!" general Fedorov slapped the little girl's hand from putting snow in her mouth.

"It's that good!?"

Arina smiled at him and nodded.

"You have a problem," he said coldly and proceeded to approach the Comrade Chairman on this matter.

"Notice her growth spurt compared to others? Your daughter is suffering from malnutrition. Wouldn't you at least let her eat something?"

"Hmm, I don't know, Fedorov. What should I feed her then?" spoke Alexei, standing up from his seat in the office and turning away from the general, gazing down at his young daughter building a snow castle through the window.

"The stuff you eat!" piped up Fedorov.

Oh dear, he didn't mean it. He didn't mean to raise his voice at the Comrade Chairman. And now the man was shooting his deadly, piercing pair of eyes at him.

Eventually, Fedorov reckoned he shall never address this issue with the dictator again. Being a man of action as he was, although Fedorov acted like he didn't care, deep down he loved little Arina like his own daughter. It was him that found her in a vulnerable state and brought her back to her father. But now was he supposed to raise this little girl too?

Although they said parents played such a big role in developing a child's personality, Arina's case was odd. Even though she spent most of her time with someone as cold and stoic as Fedorov, she somehow was not affected by his characteristics and values. She HAD a strong set of values of herself and it seemed to come out of nowhere.

"One vanilla ice cream, please," requested Fedorov to the seller.

When the child first tasted that creaminess and sweetness, her tears began to invade her whole face. It was a taste made in heaven, never had that poor child had such a thing. What was ice compared to this? She seemed to imagine that ice had a sweet flavor her whole life, but when imagination was no longer an imagination, her ceaseless tears just had to escape.

"Cease that, child! What's wrong with you!?" scolded Fedorov, unable to fathom Arina's behavior. She was sniffing like insane. Nevertheless, he bought her another one, unaware that he was responsible for forming an addiction for a child.

After returning to her father as an uneducated little girl, Alexei had to hire the best private tutor in the nation and so Arina had to embark on her journey of being homeschooled. During her intense studying hours, she studied various themes and subjects and soon caught up to the kids her age.

There was one odd thing -- Alexei was in utter shock when he found out his daughter could speak Japanese fluently. Like how? When did she learn it? And who did she learn it from?

Though Arina didn't remember how when she was asked, and only saw it as something natural. Out of all subjects, she quickly found her love for literature.

"Isn't it wonderful that you get to express yourself through a form of art? Which in this case is literature. Oh, general Fedorov, people laugh at me when I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?"
