I removed my eyes from Chance walking away and looked at the front, my stomach turned, a feeling in my throat grew tight, was this magic I feel or fear.

“Their empire rivals ours in size” father whispered to me, probably because my face was startled by their presence.

Looking firstly at the Empress she had straight hair that was baby blue, her blue eyes rivaled the attention of her hair colour. She had a beautiful flowy dress that dragged on the floor in a darker blue, I also noticed a white fur coat thrown over around her arms.

‘Isn’t she hot?’

Now I looked upon the princess, she was walking with her hands in her mother’s, she looked around the same age as Chiru. She had the same hair and eyes as her mother, but her face was as cold as someone who hated this kingdom.

Finally I looked to the left and felt like someone was strangling me for all the air I had, the prince was around 12, he also had blue hair, but when I looked into his eyes I felt like I was having my life drain from me, one blue and one bright yellow was all I saw, I stood behind Ordell knowing I didn’t feel safe.

“It’s okay Amaris” he whispered, even though he was cold and blunt his words were so safe.

“Empress” father spoke somewhat bluntly, she smiled before looking at me.

“I’m guessing she survived,” she mumbled.

‘What did she just say?!’

I felt anger burn inside me, she looked at me as if I was a bug she wanted to squish.

“Yes we’re grateful her recovery was quick” father smiled fakley, she giggled in response.

They all walked past with no other look at us, I carried on looking toward before I noticed Blyur had stopped beside me, I bravely looked to the right and saw a huge smirk on his face.

“So your Princess Amaris, how fun” he chuckled before walking away.

‘What is that supposed to me’

I felt Ordells hand clenched tightly around mine, looking up I could see his cold expression disappear as it turns to anger, he gritted his teeth hard like an animal trying to not eat its prey.

‘I have to protect everyone’

I placed my other hand over his which made him look at me, I gave him a big smile.

“It’s okay, I’m strong” I smiled which caused his expression to relax.

“That empress is so stuck up” Fumiko muttered, which caused Sage to smack the back of her head.

“You children may not understand now, but you will one day” father spoke bravely.

‘He really is a good father’

“Now entering Emperor Conri Silas Abe and Empress Elvinia Chepi Abe from the east Empire Heiwa”

‘Too many people to remember’

I watched as they both wore traditional Japanese clothes, the emperor had long black hair and they both wore cat masks with different designs on.

‘Why are they wearing masks?’’

“Emperor Conri and Empress Grace are brother and sister” Sage whispered, I put my thumb up to him causing him to look confused.

The empress looked like an el-

“The empress is an elf” Sage spoke once more causing my expression to drop.

The empress, who is an elf, had long green hair but I couldn’t see her face. 

‘Altan must be happy seeing someone else with pointy ears besides Cove’

We all bowed and greeted them.

“Now entering first princess Angelica Melody Abe and second princess Lin Sylva Abe”

Angelica had beautiful long black hair and another mask, she gave off a more tough vibe, she seemed very confident, she looked around Sages age. Looking behind Lin was following behind, they looked exactly the same. She seemed more shy and awkward, I think she’s around my age.

They all entered silently, apparently they love peace and never resorted to silence even though they have the best swordsman.

“Now entering Empress Mila Esme Amorette, accompanied by Octavius”

“Oh god, I hope she behaves” father mumbled, I instantly turned to Sage who shook his head to say he won’t tell me, looking up at Ordell he also ignored me.

‘Why won’t they tell me’

I watched the empress who had curly blond hair, her eyes shined a light blue/purple, she wore a long silk peach dress in a Roman style. She had gold jewellery everywhere. The man on her side I wasn’t sure who he was but he was dressed in very visible clothes, almost the same as ours, he wore a gold chain around his neck with a lead that the empress held.

‘Ohhh so it’s that kind of relationship’

“Greeting Jasper, you look as beautiful as ever” she spoke while placing a kiss on either side of his face.

Everyone’s faces cringe in disgust, she was definitely into that kind of thing.

“Now entering first princess Willow Hannah Amorette and Second princess Lily Bell Amorette” 

The princess had similar outfits to the empress. Willow had short light brown hair with a cute fringe, she had gorgeous peach eyes and tanned skin, she looked around 12. She walked with her head high. Lily had long wavy peach hair,blue eyes and light skin, she looked nothing like Willow and she looked around my age too.

“Greeting your majesty” Willow spoke and bowed, Lily bowed but did not greet.

“Lily’s still not speaking?” Father asks while patting her head, the empress shook her head. Lily looked in my direction and I gave her a small wave but before she could respond Willow stood in front and gave me a side look.

‘Damn why is everyone so rude’

I watched willow smirk and wave towards Ordell who slightly blushed but kept his composure.

“Now entering first prince, Casper Dario Amorette and second Prince, Kapono Luke Amorette”

I watched as the twins of the empire entered, one of them had whitish hair with bright orange eyes and the other had blonde hair and purple/blue eyes. Although they slightly looked different they looked the same, they seemed a little younger then Willow.

One of them had a very sadistic vibe from him while the other looked saddened.

“Boys stand up straight and greet the emperor properly” Empress Mila spoke bluntly, both the boys stood straight and bowed with perfection.

“Your children are growing up beautiful Mila” father smiled while patting one of the twins' heads, she smirked as if she was proud.

“Which one are you, boy?” Fathers ask the yellow haired boy.

“Second prince Kapono, your majesty” he awkwardly answered while looking anywhere but father, he smiled at him brightly knowing he was a more awkward type.

“And you must be the first prince Casper right?” Fathers asked, he bowed in response but nothing else.

“Well we shall get ready for the meal tonight, I hope the children will get along as planned” she smirks before entering the palace.

I watched them walk in and caught a glimpse of Casper smirking towards me, this made my cheeks tint pink.

‘God why am I blushing so much today’

‘Ow, why is my head hurting?’ I suddenly felt a strong pain through my head which caused me to stumble.

“Pinky!” Ordell gasped and quickly steady me.

“I’m okay” I mumbled, this frail body is hard work to take care of, I can barely do anything for myself.

“Take some rest, daughter. Aenon take her to the rainforest” he ordered, I was confused by his words.

‘Rainforest?’

Aenon bowed before lifting me up, as I leaned my small head into the crook of his neck and steadied my breathing.

“Child, magic is flowing through your body, you must learn to not suppress us” a whisper echoed through my head.

While my eyes were closed I felt the humidity change, opening them I noticed we were surrounded by trees, plants and water, it was beautiful.

“Wow, this is so beautiful” I gawked which caused Aenon to laugh, he slowly placed me on a large pillow in the Center.

“This place was created by the Emperor, it’s imbued with his power, so this place is very healing” he smiled at me as I was relaxing into the seat.

“Aenon, who is fathers god?” I ask, I need to learn more.

“The Emperor's god is called Akuna,” he shared while remaining alert.

“So his name means flowing water” I say which causes him to cock his head.

“Yes princess, you seem to remember very weird things” he bluntly puts, this made me awkwardly rub the back of my neck.

“Akuna is the god of water, so the emperor possesses water manipulation which comes with healing” he carries on.

‘Mmm water?’

“He must be very powerful” I reply with a smile, he is the emperor after all.

“Aenon will you grab me a book of the empires I’d like to find out more before I eat” I smile brightly, it’s weird a four year old asking to read about empires but I’m technically very old.

“Yes princess, please don’t move. I won’t be gone long, also this place has a protection spell so if anyone tries to hurt you, they will regret it” he smiles evilly at me.

‘Aenon you are one scary dude’

As he leaves I laid further into the pillow, it was so cosy I could fall asleep. 

*crunch*

I instantly jumped at the sound of someone stepping on a twig, looking around I noticed a small figure hiding behind one of the trees.

‘I think that’s Prince Chance’
