Empress(1)
Emperor Livenna Astia Vellora the greatest ruler and the most powerful Emperor in the history of the Empire
and the greatest wizard in the Empire, and no one ever surpassed her even to this day
The book says that she is the 10th ruler of the Vellora Empire....She was ridiculously powerful,And a wise ruler who made the Empire prosper and she conquered almost half of the lands in the continent
But she is also the reason why the Empire's existence and greatness almost vanished into thin air
She started the war against the well-known magicians of the tower....Not only the Empire was almost perished but also the entire continent because of that war
Somehow the war ended but the fear and suffering of a million people remained
The relationship between the Magicians of the Tower and the Empire was tarnished even up to now
For an unknown reason she suddenly disappeared and her younger brother ascended to the throne
sigh...I am no longer surprised about this informations since I am tired and used to this
" Mother! Are there any books about wizards?"
"Wizards? hm...yes,there are many books about them in the Imperial Library"
"Imperial Library?"
Oh yes...I heard Mother talking about that Library before.... I bet that the library is a book maze
"Can Zieke and I go there,Mother??!!!"
"You can,I will accompany you....Why would you want to know more about the wizards?"
"Because they are amazing!"
"I want to meet one of them!" My brother said enthusiastically
"There are Imperial Wizards,Zieke you might meet them one day"
oh!so there are wizards working under the Emperor I see...
"When will we visit the Library,Mother?"
"Maybe Tomorrow? It's getting late it's not the best time to visit the library"
"Okay!!"
Zieke flipped the pages to the next page... And a torn page caught my attention,the page was supposed to be the information about the war .. how unfortunate
*******
"This is surely thick!"
"Yeah! Damn when will we finish this?"
It was already dark and we finished dinner but we aren't still finished reading this Thick..no Super Thick book
Our Father is the 23th Emperor of the Empire and we are still reading about the 20th Emperor of the Empire
The door suddenly opened and Elze appeared
"Your Highnesses? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"We are finishing this book..and mother hasn't returned yet"
"The miss is busy at the time being so you might as well go to sleep now, It's not good for children to sleep late"
"Bu-"
"Listen to the adults princess~" She said Smiling
Gah!
"I brought fresh milk,please drink it before Sleeping"
"Okay!! thank you!!"
.
.
.
I heard the door closed so I opened my eyes and the darkness welcomed me
I tried to wake Zieke up but he won't budge..this kid really fall asleep forgetting our plan
I looked at the dark room
Alone in the night really seems pretty chilly specially in this spacious room
I walked down the little stair on the side of the bed made recently for Zieke and I to help us climb the big bed
I can still see a faint light because of the moonlight outside
I walked towards the balcony
I slowly opened the door to the balcony,my body suddenly shuddered because of the wind
I closed the door and sat on the floor and looked up to the bright sky
I rubbed my hands against each other as I look at the bright moon and twinkling stars
"Moon....I do not know if you are the same moon that I frequently stare at before"
"You too, stars..I tried hard to look for all the constellations when I was a high school student"
I smiled
I do not like my past life but I genuinely miss it....The people I was acquainted with,I loved,and I hated....The modern world,My country, Earth and even school,I miss everything so much
I got up from sitting and stretched my right arm to the sky
"I do not know if you are the moon I used to know...but just incase you aren't...I will introduce myself...I am Elizielle Hein Vellora it is nice meeting you"
But I am now a part of this world and I am Elizielle
I slapped my cheek lightly...What the heck are you doing?
I spend some more time stargazing and I entered the room
I saw Zieke Sitting and yawning
"What did you do in the Balcony?"
"I needed fresh air,go back to sleep"
"Yeah..good night"
"Night!"
I heared the door opened right after I closed my eyes to sleep..thank God I am already in bed
********
"Mother? you are not going with us again?"
"Yes,You can go without me Eliz,I need to do something here"
"O-okay"
My mother doesn't go with us every time we visit father....did something happen between them?
"Mother...may I ask you a question?"
"Yes,What is it?"
"why don't you visit Father with us? Father will surely be delighted"
Mother smiled and said she cannot go with us because she really is busy and apologized
They aren't living together in the same place and they also aren't seeing each other often.... seriously this couple
I wasn't in the mood on the way to visit Father thinking about the two of them
"ugh..my head hurts"
I leaned my head to Zieke's back
"Get off me!" Zieke said looking outside the Carriage
The Emperor's palace is not quite far from our place but it's not near as well so we ride carriages to visit him
"Do not move Zieke,My head hurts"
"tsk..do not sleep!".
I ignored him and closed my eyes...ugh stress
"You shouldn't think much about them...maybe they had a quarrel yah know?"
"Maybe....but I think something is missing...I can't explain their relationship,They seems distant?"
"As I said,Maybe they had a quarrel!!! And it's not so like you to worry about such thing"
"Hmph... quarrel my a*s,what couple would fight for such a long time?" I mumbled
I sighed and comfortably leaned my back against Zieke's back
********
"Father!"
"You are here" He approached us and kneeled down infront of me
The Head maid widened her eyes in shock while the knight accompanying father is smiling brightly from behind
I hugged father so did Zieke sh*t so Embarrasing
.
.
.
" You visited the Imperial Library with your mother the last day"
"Yes,How did you know father?"
"One of my subjects who saw you told me"
oh! that handsome looking dude that greeted us at the library
"What were you doing there?"
"We were looking books about the wizards"
"Wizards....Are you interested in them?"
"Yes! They are amazing with spells and magics" Zieke said excited
"Do you want to see one?"
"Yes!" We then said at the same time
"Really then"
He stopped Walking and I stopped as well looking at a Lake infront of us
The water in the lake is so clear and this place seems like a dwelling of a goddess because of it's beauty
"Beautiful" I said with my eyes wide open
I went closer to the lake and tried to splash the water with my hands
"Be careful you might fall"
Something then moved under the water...it's a Golden fish
It approached my hand that is under the water when someone grabbed and carried me
"If you do not want to get poisoned stay away from that fish"
P-poison?....I should be more careful I can't welcome a new life this early
"Father...do you want to go back?" I said looking at the lake again
"Lester carry the prince as it seems he is tired"
"Yes,Your Majesty"
I was handed to the Head maid as well and we returned to the Emperor's Palace
.
.
.
"Who is the Founder of the Empire?"
"The first Emperor..Emperor Philip Vellora" Zieke said
"How many Empress Regents were there?"
" Four!! The greatest Emperor of the Empire is a woman"
Because of those women,The women's right to rule were no longer opposed and the women in the nobility and even the commoners are no longer easily being looked down
Equality in this Empire is strengthened specially when the 3rd Empress Regent Livenna was crowned...women looks up at her even though she almost endangered the Empire
oh!
"Father....how did the war between the Empire and the Magicians of the towers ended?"
I saw how the Emperor flinched but he easily returned to his usual composed self
"You studied that?"
"We came across it in a history book...but it seems the Page of the book with the information of the war was torn"
"Torn? may I see that book?"
"Yes,I will Bring it later"
He didn't said anything after that neither did he a answer our question not even when we left the room
"We will escort you back,Your highnesses"
"Thank you Mr" Zieke and I said
From afar I saw someone approaching us
As that person came closer I can clearly see that the person is a woman...She radiates a great beauty and Elegance
I stood still...
The ladies that are accompanying her seems of a high status but they do not compare to her
From far away our eyes met....her gentle deep blue eyes like the ocean examined me
They stopped meters away as she smiled at me
"E-Empress..." Elze whispered
