General Cole was a highly respected man in Eirini. A great defender for the kingdom and a mentor to younger soldiers. Cassandra had been a little surprised, at first, when he admitted to her how much guilt he felt from time to time about what he had done. Everything had been to protect their home, but sometimes that didn't help him feel better. Working with General Cole had taught Cassandra that war wasn't something to glamorize. The soldiers should be respected but war wasn't fun and games.<br/><br/>"General Cole and I are planning to start a group to help our wounded soldiers, as well."<br/><br/>Cassandra had become good friends with the general. When he told the demons soldiers faced, it broke her heart. The soldiers of Eirini were heroes and should be treated as such. Yet, some were prematurely injured and others, while physically okay, mentally had demons.<br/><br/>"...We are going to start work on it after my brother's wedding and coronation."<br/><br/>James had two very big events coming up and, being that good sister that she was, Cassandra was helping as much as she could with them. Once everything had settled down, then she'd get back into her charity work. Of course, she had no idea that her uncle had plans to ruin it all. It never crossed her mind that Russell wasn't happy with his station in life. She was the spare heir and perfectly happy in her life. She didn't care at all that she'd never be queen. He never said much about his own viewpoints of his life. Cassandra just assumed Russell felt the same way she did, even if he didn't use his position in life to better the lives of their people.<br/><br/>Cassandra sipped her drink and smiled back at Arthur. He was a nice guy and intelligent. She liked having intelligent conversations with people. Someone people found it hard to talk to her because she was a princess. It drove her nuts when people acted like that. Just because she was the daughter of the king and queen, it didn't mean she was special or better then anyone else. Everyone's blood was red.<br/><br/>"Maybe you would like to help us out sometime?"<br/><br/>Cassandra suggested to Arthur. She wouldn't mind getting to know him better, but quickly added.<br/><br/>"Of course, it is okay with you are too busy. It is just a suggestion."
