Maria was walking with her General-brother, Kuro, to work as replacements for General Nagashima and Colonel Hirama.

{A/N: Be careful of those two names, there's a hint on what city they represent. ;) The first four/three letters~}

"Hey, guess what?" Kuro had suddenly asked while wearing a grin.

"What?" Maria replied, turning to her brother.

"Kiku is going to be at your meeting."

Maria eyed him carefully.
Because of the prank that the twins had made, she secretly keeps a close eye on the two, especially Kuro.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

She sighed of relief.

"Alright. I'm going to my meeting now." Maria said, walking faster.

She sent a quiet wave.

Her steps were quiet, and the doors of the castle opened.

"Good morning, Colonel!" The guards guarding the castle doors greeted with a bow.

The colonel bowed as well.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Kaito, Gakupo." 

She walked past them and could clearly hear arguments starting already at the meeting room.

"Arguments already?" She asked to herself and sighed.

Maria pushed the doors open and stamped her foot.

"Silence!" She yelled. Her eyes turned red. 

The officers in the room were shocked.
It was now dead silent.

"I'm sorry to shout already in the morning, it's just your arguments are annoying me." She apologized as she walked to her chair and sat down. Her eyes are now black again.

"As you have known, this meeting was called in by the Queen Akana due to the circumstances that happened in the past year. She needs to tell you that we need to work together to make Azuchi Kingdom safe." Maria explained.

"But how are we going to do this?" Lieutenant Collet asked in his Anglo-Franco accent. 

Lieutenant Collet used to be part in the Directione Centrale Police Judiciare in France, but due to unknown circumstances, he retired and joined the Japanese forces.

Maria smirked. 

"The queen said that we should always be alert in suspicious people entering the kingdom. Moreover, the guards shall search for any thing that's a firearm." Maria started.

"If they are terrorists from the same country, how would we respond?" asked Captain Makido. 

In the right moment, Kuro bursts in the room, looking stern. 

"We should respond quickly, and attack them before anyone else." He answered. 

Turns out, he was outside all along, listening to the conversation. 

"General Kuro!" The men inside exclaimed in unison. 

Maria stands up. 

"Why did you interrupt our meeting, General?" She asked, giving him a small smirk at the hint she just made. 

Her brother returned the smirk and found a seat and sat down. 

"Hey, I just want to visit my sister, you know?" Kuro said. 

This made the latter embarrassed. And made her blush and had the urge to slap his idiotic face. 

Maria did so. 

And her slap was hard. 

Kuro yelped in pain. In a split second he could see his sister's eyes were in blood red. 

"General, embarrassing me in public will result in immediate torture. And if you repeat that, that will happen, and it will not if you didn't do it again." The colonel said sternly. 

All the men in the room were surprised that she could surprisingly handle her own older brother..and even men. 

"I tell you, I'm dangerous when I'm mad, young gentlemen." She said as she turned. 

"So be careful."
