"Hi, My name is Emika
Dragneel and I Am 13 years old. My father's name was Alphonse Dragneel,
Alphonse means "ready for battle", it was named after my great
grandfather. My father has the highest rank of all the generals in our
kingdom. My mom's name is Kyouko Dragneel which means "respectful" she
was the captain of . And lastly my twin sister, her name is Ichika
Dragneel which also means "one thousand flower" she was named after my
grandmother who passed away, it was her last wish before she died. But I
was named by my father, no one knows what's the meaning of my name is.
My father's parents passed away when we were still in my mother's womb
that's why we never get to know them, and my mother's father had passed
away from battle, and my mother's mother was living in the other region
just a mile away from our home. We often visits her but our parents were
always busy.
At school my twin sister
would always get the highest rank while I get the lowest, and that's
why I'm always scolded by my parents especially my dad who only sees me
with dissapointment that he would lock me in a dark room which he calls
the punishing room, and my mother can't do anything but to watch but
when i looked in my mother's eye, I could see the same that she is also
dissapointed at me. And at school while break time, my twin sister and
her friends would always bully me and leaving scars in some parts of my
body, but instead of showing hatred on her I will just smile like
nothing happened because I loved her and also all the people in our
kingdom even tho they treat me like nobody. For whole my life, I have
never been accepted by my family. To them, I was a loser, useless,
disgrace except for my grandmother, she was the only person who loved me
so much and care for me.Until one day......
Our kingdom was attacked
by the barbarians, they bombed the wall on the inside and killed every
people around them. I was locked at the punishing room when it happened,
I tried to open the door but it was locked, I tried to shout for help
but no one came. Because of the bombing of the barbarians some of the
houses were destroyed including our home, I was trapped inside and
passed out. I didn't know what happened next, all I hear was screaming,
bombing and someone fighting. I wasn't able to move because one of my
leg was broken and also my other arm was stuck in a heavy wood, I tried
to scream for help again but no one came. I scream and scream as hard as
I can but nobody seems to hear me from outside. Suddenly my back felt
heavy, it was a big heavy block that was crushed into me, I could feel
the heaviness of the block as it crushed some of my ribs. I tried to
shout to call for help but my throat is already too dry, I was already
stuck under our house for almost 3 hours hoping for someone to come and
save me until I passed out, I didn't hear anything after that nor feel
anything.
As soon as Emika opened her eyes, she was shocked to see the Highest rank people including the Queen sitting around her. As she moved a little muscle she could feel the pain all over her body, she looked around and saw her parents. She then smiled and call them but a very sharp pain had pass her as she was kicked by her sister in the back, good thing some of the guard stop Ichika from beating her. As she woke up in reality, she realized that she was in the court all tide up in the middle alone as Ichika tried to attack her again but this time her father stopped her. Then a soldier shouted at Emika.
"YOU MURDERER"
As Emika heard those words she felt scared and confused at the same time, and ask
"What? What did I do wrong?"
Another soldier shouted again
"what do you mean what?......Your the reason why the enemies get inside in our kingdom. You let them in, because of your jelousy to your sister. YOU TRAITOR"
Emika widen her eyes as she heard those words, it felt like a sharp knife that stabbed her in that heart piercing it into pieces. But what she didn't understand was that why would she betray her own people even tho she was always been loyal to them and respectful....She ask again
"W-what do you mean"
But this time her father answered
"Emika Dragneel, you brought shame to our family and let the enemy in...There are witnesses of you talking to unknown persons near a dark alley then handed them a scroll which contains the informations and the map of the kingdom, you colluded with the enemy by planning to destroy our kingdom because of your selfish personal reasons.
Emika's heart was crushed into pieces by hearing those words from her owns father's mouth. As she thought about what her father's words...."Well I've been already a burden to the family, if dad wishes for me to go then his wish is my command. I'll take the blame, even if it kills me as long as father wishes for it I will gladly give it my all. My father and mother gave life to me so I will gladly do everything just to make them happy."
That time, Emika didn't think of herself or what's going to happened next. All she thinks about is what her father wants. Then she smiled at them and said with a very happy tone in a very calm voice.
"Yes, your right General Alphonse. I admit that I let the enemy in and I also help them plan to destroy and kill all the people inside because of my selfish personal reasons.
As she said that, General Alphonse widen his eyes in shock that his own daughter would do that selfish thing.
While Emika's mother Captain Kyouko felt her heart being peirced by a needle after hearing what her daughter also said, but she knew that Emika wouldn't do that kind of thing. As a mother she knew what her children's attitude, Emika is weak and sometimes absent minded in class but she knew that Emika can never do such shameful thing. As she always watch Emika grow, she could see how Emika was always trying her best to make her father proud.
She watched Emika while tears falling from her eyes.
When Emika watched her mother wearing a very beautiful smile in her face like she fears nothing, like she don't care about what's gonna happen to her the next hour.
"And it is proven that you Emika Dragneel is found guilty for your sins. In order to pay your crimes, you must pay it with your own life. Because of your selfishness, many of the people has lost their lives during the ambush.
The Queen spoke in her with a sad tone...since the queen was Emika's aunt and a close friend of her parents. After a few minutes of silents, the King spoke that....
"Emika Dragneel you have gone too far of your life decisions, you have broken many rules. And by tomorrow at noon, you shall be beheaded infront of all the people infront of the palace."
Before the King pass his orders Kyouko, emika's mother bowed to the king and said in sad tone that....
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your orders, even tho she will be killed. The lives of our people who died will never came back."
"Commander Kyouko, may I ask what your trying to say?" the king replied with a confused face....
Then she answered back....
"Your Majesty, what I meant was instead of killing her...Why just banned her from our place so she can think of her life decisions, besides she is still a kid and one of your people. It's all my fault Your Majesty, I failed as a mother to take responsibility of my child....Please reconsider your decision Your Majesty."
Then the Hall was silent for a moment while the King is thinking of what Commander Kyouko said. As the King made his decision. He said....
"Emika Dragneel, you are banned from our Kingdom for 5 years. That means that you cannot step a single foot on our kingdom for 5 years, but after you came back don't expect us to treat you as one of us anymore. You betray your own kingdom because of your selfish personal reasons. And that decision is final, whoever is against it will not have a chance to speak."
Everyone was shock about what the king just said. But Emika just laughed, then said.....
"Your Majesty, you know after living my whole life in this kingdom. No one has ever treated me like I'm as someone important to them, because to them I am just a nobody. Even my own family never really treated me as one of them, they never acknowledge me as their daughter. So it's just best if you would just never reconsider your first order. Commander Kyouko never really failed to take responsibility of her child, cause as far as I can see she gave everything just to be a great mother to my sister. They both never failed to love my sister"
All of the people heard what Emika had said, after that all their eyes are on Commander Kyouko and General Alphonse. As Commander Kyouko shread tears on her eyes as she heard what her own daughter said about her, and as General Alphonse just show no emotions. As Emika just smiled to the king.
Then the king spoke.....
"My decisions had already been full, Emika Dragneel, you will start your journey tomorrow at the morning before the sun starts to rise. You shall pack your things you need, you had a long journey to go. But be careful in the road, their are bandits who are killing people ahead. It's a royal order....
"TIME SKIP"
"I've already walked a hundred meters from my home as I ride a horse that Prince Jin gave me.....Prince Jin and I are a very close friend, Prince Jin and my Grandma was the only people who cares for me a lot. I hope they can wait for me, don't worry Grandma and Jin I'll come back for you.......
"TIME SKIP"
AFTER A MONTH
JINGHUAN KINGDOM
"What? So your saying is that General Alphonse daughter that we banned a month ago was not the real culprit"
The king shouted angrily to the soldier who reported it.
As soon as it was proven that Emika Dragneel was not the real culprit, the king himself with Emika's parents and some guards went to find her in the place where the king told her to stay. But they found nothing, so they search the whole area but found nothing. After that they assumed that Emika was taken by the bandits and killed her..
