Akiyama's views over the events of the past 5 years, the purges events keeping the majority of things in order.

He sighs. "It was said to never be easy." he snickers, his black hair full of Strands of grey from dealing with the two.

Leaning back in the chair, he nods. "It is something I don't regret, though." He looks through the hundreds of recruitment he's never used.

Deciding to place them at Random points without a loyalty contract for the majority of them, Lilliana Sprinting in. "PAPA!"

He turns his chair. Lilliana Jump moving the table and landing on him "URGH!" her thick skull hammer into his stomach.

He coughs "What going on Sweetheart." he said with affection, Lilliana turning and sitting on his lap.

"I made you." she hands him a picture Akiyama hands rubbing her black hair. Looking over it, he snickers,

"Pfff." he smiles at it, the image displaying him with red eyes and a toothy Howl. a giant halberd over the head of the stick Like figure.

He nods "yup looks just like me." he smiles at her "Did you do one of your mothers too."

She nods, her sky-blue eyes glowing with Childish Curiosity. she takes out one from the pocket of her dress.

Handing it to him, he looks over it Nodding "hmm the hair could use a bit of work here. How about I show you how to draw portraits?"

He takes her hand, guiding it along with an empty piece of paper. "It takes Practice."

The door opens Ignis looks around. "Ah, Lilliana Father." Akiyama glances at his son, his body coated in slight bruises.

"Brutal training again and didn't I tell you to stop being so formal?" Ignis bows highly. "I couldn't possibly show such-"

"Such a sentence is why I call you a genius, but come here." Ignis gets up onto his lap as well "you need to stop taking such humiliation from your trainer"

He looks away. "Bruises all over, my boy. There is a difference between training and a. beating. Did you learn anything from your teacher?"

He lowers his head. "Has he done this each time he's supposedly trained you?" Akiyama's eye glow red.

"HICK!" Ignis trembles, "a soothing aura replacing it. "If you are that afraid of him, then he's not training you."

Akiyama rubs his head, healing the injury. "Pat my head. Pat my head too!" Akiyama glances at Lilliana. "As much as order are nice, Lilliana."

He grabs her head. "Do no considered yourself untouchable, ever." She trembles. "Taking the head of a royal is often as easy as killing an ant."

He tightens it. "So thinking yourself Untouchable is Uncool and boring, never take yourself above others else. You're the same as an animal, are we animals?" he lets her head go petting Lilliana.

She turns to the ground, debating it shortly. "Yes." he "pff." he smiles. "Yes, humans are human. However, what kind? "

Akiyama snaps his hand. Ignis not attentive he smirk "hmm string him up or not to string him up."

He remains zoned out. Akiyama Organizing an entire plan "Time to string him up."

He stands, grabbing Ignis' surprise by taking him. "Huh What are you.. EH WHAT ARE YOU DOING DAD!"

He screams adorably as his old man ties him to the roof, "you let your guard down and let you enemy think."

He taps his head, throwing him back slightly. "Even in relaxation, never let your guard down too much."

He flails his feet, squirming in the ropes. Akiyama sitting down. "Now shall we continue, Sweety."

He guides her hands a few more times before letting her try herself well. He takes down Ignis.

Now a crying mess, he sighs. "Now what do you think an actual enemy would do if dads this bad?"

Ignis hugs him. "Hang me by my feet instead of my chest," he sniffles into Akiyama Nods.

Lilliana punches his leg. "Leave Ignis Alone." he falls to his knee. "ARGH SHE BROKE MY KNEE!"

Guard storm in and capture Lilliana with soft squishy gloves, taking her out. "Argh, Argh!"

Just before she leaves he stands up and get the scary Guards to put her down. "And that what will happen if you hit a noble physically scary, right?"

"so never hit them physically. I'll teach what to actual do when you two are older." he holds Lilliana.

Lythinma walking in after hearing the news, seeing the swollen red beneath both their eyes.

"What did you do to my little darlings?" Lythinma approaches "taught them how A Noble would treat them."

He glances away, pretending to be innocent. Lythinma stands toe to toe with him. "Let me remind you, the Slipper is the deadliest weapon in the world."

He trembles. "Ehem, I'd say a few things are worse." He cleans them up and sets them down. "Also, I'm going to Watch Ignis training the next time he goes."

Lythinma nods, understanding his stand point he pats Ignis and Lilliana on the head.

"Daddy has work to do now go with Mom." they Nod "Ah we'll be looking into art for are dear Lilliana preferably a gentle Teacher.

They glance between their parents. Before running off with Lythinma, Akiyama sitting down.
