Aldnoah Zero - ep01&02

This series does an interesting spin on the idea of martian invaders, where we made first contact by discovering a dimensional gate on the moon that made colonizing mars possible but through this gate we encounter an evolved human race that left earth many thousand of years ago and they want it back. However the one thing that is never real explained is why a peace treaty was formed, but this is the world we come into 15 years of peace since initial contact. Although some believe that the peace won't last, this is proven true when the martian princess come to visit earth and she is assassinated. Then in the wake of her supposed death the martian waste no time in igniting the fires of war with out even taking the time to investigate if she is still alive or not. Even going further by assuming that earth was responsible for it not even considering that there wouldn't be people in their government that would wish her dead because she stood in their way of take back what they saw was already theirs and this would allow them to finish what they started.

The question of why they stop the war fifteen years ago is more unclear because she the technology that they use there was no need for them to stop the conflict since they had an overwhelming tactical advantage. It seems that right now it seems that this war will be resolve through political means rather than through violence. This become more clear when we see Sir Trillram met up with Princess Asseylum assassins, that we discover that they were a sleeper cell planted on earth at the end of the conflict. That for their survive they where promise knighthood however that promise Trillram has no intention of fulfilling that it is more convenient that they are silence. However Rayet escapes when she is rescue by Yuki, who is to only witness that can speak of Mar's guilt.

Then you have the fact that Princess Asseylum isn't dead, that who died in the attack is her body double. That through her meeting Inaho she ends on the same armor carrier that Rayet is on, but the problem is that Trillram is pursuing because of Rayet. The other issue is that how does Inaho plan to defeat Trillram since it appears that the armies attempt have been futile. There is the other issue of the fact that they barely manage to escape. The question is even if they do succeed are the Martians going to just willingly accept that Asseylum is still alive, and if they do who to say that still won't try to kill her anyways since using her identity against Trillram would back fire since it would be inconvenient to him if she is still alive. Then the issue would be how would they get her to Count Cruhteo who is the one that would be most loyal to her.
