THE CHILD IN THE IMPERIAL GENIUS..

***In the Imperial grounds of Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans'..

***Consort Tamara's Imperial Palace..

***Princess Seflim's Martial training dome.

..

 Despite the elaborate lesson about limits, it is not until after two hours more of training till Princess Seflim finally got her release from the session.

 Her face and body is soaked in sweat as she lies her back against the green floor of the now empty duelling arena.

 Without the judging gazes of her masters around, she can let her guard down as she solely focuses on catching her breath deeply with her eyelids fluttering lazily from exhaustion.

 "You will need a bath,.. *True Imperial princess Seflim.", A calm and very familiar voice tickles the twelve year old princess's ears as the blurry image of a woman standing above her reflects in her dreamy blue eyes.

 Squinting her face a little, Seflim's squints her gaze a bit before finally settling her gaze on the source of the voice,.. Her Royal Nanny – Balle Nora –.

 A childish and relaxed smile appears on the beautiful princess's face as she lazily stretches her arms out while obviously expecting to be carried by the mature Nanny who's currently standing in the infamous nagging posture.

 "I'm Sorry.. 'True Imperial Princess' Seflim but apart from giving a hand sometimes, my priorities is to do my humble best that you stand on your own.", The Nanny says with her tone deepening at the mention of the Princess's title as if to remind Seflim of the status she holds.

 The Nanny's words are completely ignored by Seflim who opens and closes her palm twice in a childish manner as if saying 'hurry up'.

Nanny Nora who's familiar with the princess's bearing shows nagging annoyance as she shifts her gaze away from the Princess's sweat drenched figure as if saying 'It's not working this time my dear'.

 The stale mate between the mature and the young ladt continues for a while untill the Nanny finally cracks. With a bit of annoyance more at herself than at the princess, the Nanny Nora finds moving down to carry the princess up like a baby.

The Nanny can swear that she heard the princess give a small chuckle as Seflim clings onto the Nanny's neck, waist and back with her arms and legs respectively while locking onto to her like an human octopus.

 Knowing better than to try to pull off the exhausted princess whose currently playing her 'childish side' instead of her normal cold and over-mature side, Nanny Nora just lets the behavior slide.

'Just this time.', The Nanny tells a blant lie to herself internally.

 Although the princess is never truly 'alone', whatever actions she performs in this kind of atmosphere remains a secret that would not at all stain her reputation to the always watching eyes of the court and the Noblesses.

 "Young Lord Nimbus has come to pay you a visit but I doubt you're currently interested in seeing him.", The Nanny says while moving out if the Dueling dome with the princess's sweat soaked body almost literally melted in a grip onto hers.

 "I'm interested in seeing my bed.", Princess Seflim sleepily murmurs into her Nanny's neck who just rolls her eyes at the Princess's lazy attitude in private.

 Rubbing a ring on her finger, Nanny Nora casually opens up a door shaped portal leading to another room in the Palace as she steps through it with Seflim still on her neck.

 After stepping through the portal, the portal immediately collapses into nothing as Nanny Nora pulls the Princess off before putting Seflim into a big white ceramic tub.

 Nanny Nora flicks her authority ring once more as a set of multi-coloured tones of light completely washes over Princess Seflim body who still has her eyes lazily closed in the massive tub.

In an instant not only has the Princess been cleaned up but even her clothes has been changed into comfortable light silky wears.

 Completing it's job, the waves of rainbow light soon dims down into nothing and unsurprisingly, the princess puts her arms up childishly for a lift once more while opening and closing her fingers at her Nanny.

 Nanny Nora puffs air from her nose in a manner that soundw like a sigh before giving up on whatever dose of nagging her brain is cooking up as she carries the Princess into her arms once more while opening up another portal into the Princess's room.

 Placing and tucking Seflim into her massive bed come naturally for the nanny while the Princess just relaxes through the journey.

 About to turn and leave the room, Nanny Nora hears the Princess's slightly sleepy voice.

 "Thank you.", The princess says.

 Nanny Nora rolls her eyes gives out a small caring sigh that the princess interprets 'you're welcome'.

Thinking to herself, the princess really does know how to stir her up yet despite it being her duty to be uptight to the young girl. The Nanny's emotions always wins over her responsibility as the Nanny has seen the girl's harsh grooming for a suffocating role right since birth.

 The Nanny uas heard the girl train her mind, body, manners, arts and bloodline even as she sleep. With a gentle voice, Nanny Nora finds herself forced to say..

 "You have three hours before your next program. ".

 Seflim lifts her hand up from her blanket and raises it for a small 'OK' with her fingers as Nanny Nora makes a portal for the exit.

***Outside of the Imperial Grounds..

 The Imperial Court, Palaces, stations, noble homes and strongholds made up the most parts of the Imperial Territory called the Imperial Grounds.

It is given this title because it is a collection of all things in close relationship with the Imperial family.

The Imperial grounds comprises of over a thousand of various ground-breaking Palaces in relation with different owners but only a core center few of these Palaces are in direct relation and circumference of the True Imperial Palace.

 The Imperial Grounds are surrounded and completely enclosed by a massively structured array fence built for resistance against the most devastating conditions of war, terrorism and anti-assassination.

Although, this fence only reaches as high as One hundred meters into the sky, its durability cannot be expressed in words as over two thousand thousand High ranked warriors mans this font twenty-four seven(24/7).

 It is said that even ghosts and sound cannot pass into the Imperial Grounds without strict permission!

 The areas immediate to the Imperial fence circumference comes off as neat, beautified and yet completely empty.

Only after a couple hundred meters from the Imperial fence does houses, streets and a standard civilizations bustling with activities begin.

 Colourful Fancy and Eastern designed houses made of wood and bricks fills up these streets in a orderly fashion showing various levels of luxury yet randomness.

Unlike the powerful, majestic yet bleak overly orderly interiors of the Imperial Grounds, the Imperial City in it's circumference is ultimately bustling with activities, life and surprises at every turn.

 Beautiful Aerial Creatures fly through the sky, Young Cultivators walk the streets in different robes as their beauty fans lay in their palms while under escort by friends or servants.

Maidens of noble houses covered up their faces while moving on the streets. Carriages pulled by Sliver horses travelled through the streets as interactions, greetings, races and culture flows freely over the neatly tiled streets and buildings.

 Amongst the multiple polite interactions going on the streets, one soon attracts extra attention as a voice suddenly yells out in a out-of-place excitement filled with anxiousness,.. "Y.. Young Master.".
