The Empress Prosposal
Episode 1
King Adelman
Where is that wench? What's taking her so long???????
King Adelman's voice reverberated all over the place.
Princess Annie
I already sent a guard to pick her up father. They might be here soon.
Today is the day Emma will be sent to marry Caldi the Emperor of the neighboring Empire. Because the Kingdom of Mayo lost the recent war Caldi demanded one of the Princess to be sent in his empire and be one of his concubines.
Princess Annie
Father, why do you need to send that useless wench to the empire? Isn't it better if it's me. ? This will be our chance for revenge...... I can seduce the Emperor and use my position to take over what we had lost.
King Adelman
Don't be stupid Annie! Do you think the Emperor is that low to take one of my daughterss to be his concubine?
Prince Anton
Father is right... If we send you there you are most likely a prisoner than a wife .
Prince Anton
That's why we need to send that useless sister of ours. We don't care if she died there... She's not our lost .
Princess Annie
Ohhhhh... I didn't think that ahead.
Annie point her finger above and then scratch her head .
Princess Annie
The Emperor is handsome he is my type but he is also a psycho. I heard he killed the whole envoy of his new concubine from the Kingdom of Astra.
Princess Annie
What a pity.
Their conversation has been cut of due to Emma’s arrival.
Emma
Greetings. Your majesty.
She bowed and then look at her brother and sister.
Emma
Greetings Elder sister and Elder brother .
King Adelman
I think you know why did I call you here?
King Adelman
After this conversation, you need to leave. I will assign you one guard and one coachman. You need to travel 8 days to reach the Empire of Askari.
Emma not lifting her head only replied yes.
Even tho she's a princess she never once had a maid. She has an attendant who took care of her since she was young but due to her age she was sent back to her hometown.
After the short conversation, she walked away from her siblings and her father. Not even a slight expression on her face.
Princess Annie
Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Have you seen her face father???!!!!!!!
Princess Annie
Just seeing her blank face makes me annoyed.
Princess Annie
My day is ruined now!!!
Prince Anton
Relax sister. This is the lat time you will be seeing her.
Prince Anton
It's either she died along the way to the Empire or died in the Emperor’s hand we don't care .
Prince Anton
I heard a lot of monsters are appearing these day. She only had one coach man and a guard. What can they do?
Princess Annie
Right brother. That's so smart of you.
The King is silent while watching Emma walking away.
Emma throw herself to the bed upon arriving at her palace.
She couldn't even call it palace anymore. It's more like an old building ready to collapse anytime.
She buried her face into the pillow.
A maid wearing a white and dark uniform appeared.
Episode 2
Elena fell on her knees and bowed.
Emma
I don't have much so only things that are useful.
Like Emma, there's no trace of emotion on Elena’s face.
Emma’s power materialized when she was ten years old and accidentally summons Elena out of desperation when an assassin was sent to kill her. Since then Elena is attending her needs in secret. That's how she survived all these years.
Unknown to everyone including her own attendant Emma is a very skilled martial artist and magician. With Elena as her mentor, she became an Archimage at the age of fourteen.
Elena is a High-level demon magician. She finally considers Emma as her master two years after she was summoned when she saw her power being in a spar with the demon lord at a very young age.
Emma didn't complain all these years about her residence she even acts as a pushover who knows nothing infront of her siblings and everyone in the kingdom. These benefited her all as no one checked on her when she was growing up.
Elena would transport her to the demon world to train. This gave her a life-threatening experience every time. She's also in charge of her education The King her father didn't even bother to educate her unlike her other siblings everyone knows she's illiterate. Although her family is blessed with magic her power didn't show up until she was ten years old. Unlike her siblings, Whose power materialize at the age of three she was a late bloomer. Since she accidentally summoned Emma and her power is dark magic she cannot reveal it to anyone hence Elena took everything under control. She used hypnotism on her old attendant and was finally able to release with the excuse of her old age.
Although capable Emma still cannot utilize her full power. She can only utilize it when she reach legal age which is 18.
Emma
I'll keep diablo on my shadow. My father only gave me one coachman and a guard. They are expecting I will be killed along the way since a lot of monsters are appearing lately.
Diablo is another demon summons but he is acting more like her guard.
Elena
Should I just kill them master?
Emma
No.... They have use to me. Keep them alive for the time being .
Elena
Master how about your plan? Don't you need to seek revenge anymore? You need take revenge on your family right?
Emma
I have a better a plan.
Emma
That's Psycho Emperor will not treat me well he might kill me right away or keep as a prisoner. I will choose the latter tho. I just need one year to fully utilize my power and I need the Emperor to execute my plan .
Emma
If he wish to kill me on the first meeting I will kill him first but he choose to keep me even making me his prisoner I don't mind. That would give me time.
Elena
Your father is secretly communicating in the north. I know he is seeking allegiance in the Northern Empire without Emperor’s Caldi’s knowledge.
Emma
My father is a greedy man.
Emma
And I will use this against him.
Elena
I don't know why you kept your plan delayed for many years. If you want to annihilate this kingdom you can use our power our demon power.
Emma
Elena... it's not all about being powerful. There is more to it.
Emma
My dream is to live in peace in a faraway land without anyone knows me. I want far away from politics I don't want to be like my father.. Or my siblings .
She walks towards the window and look at the sky. She then look back at Elena and smile.
Episode 3
Sebastian
Your Majesty. It seems that the Mayor Kingdom thought of you as a fool. They want to send the third Princess as your concubine and candidate for being in the Empress.
Caldi lift up his head and look straight at Sebastian his butler.
Sebastian
I heard the third Princess is not even considered a Princess. They confined her in a shabby palace with only one attendant all these years. She wasn't even given a proper education. How can someone like that be a concubine and as well an Empress candidate???????
Slightly higher and annoyed tone .
Caldi picked up the photo in front of him. It was Emma’s picture.
Caldi
Blond hair. Clear blue eyes.....
Caldi
Hmmmpppp..... There is something in those eyes.
Sebastian
Your majesty????
Sebastian
Should I punish them ?
Sebastian
They deserve severe punishment for fooling you.
Caldi
They probably knew I wouldn't treat her well. Anyway, regardless of which Princess I don't care. As long as they will follow the agreement .
He put the photo down on his table again and stand up.
Upon demand of one of the Princess to be his concubine the agreement also grants the Askari Empire to fully monopolize diamond mining in the Mayor Kingdom.
Sebastian
Should I send assassin your majesty? I don't think you need someone like her.
Sebastian
The diamond mining is already in favor of us. You don't need the Princess.
Caldi walked away from Sebastian and head to the exit .
Emma heads off from the Kingdom on the first night they were attacked by bandits. Both coachman and guard died as expected .
Emma
Diablo, Elena come out .
Both appeared in front of her in an instant .
Emma
Elena from here on you need to act like you human. Your my personal maid. Same goes for you Diablo. You will be my personal guard.
Emma
Both of you need to act like humans. Change your aura and don't use magic unless needed.
Emma
We need to fool the everyone for a year.
Emma
Pretend to be normal. Not above anyone else. You don't need to worry about me I can endure all without releasing any strength.
Emma
Since they both died no need to inform the Kingdom about what happened. They are expecting this anyway.
Emma
I don't think the Emperor will be interested of whoever I am with. But just in case someone ask your my servant and my guard.
Emma
We don't need to to use the carriage. Will just need to use the horses. Elena hide in my shadow for the meantime when we reach another city ill buy you a horse.
That night three of them are in front of the bon fire Elena made. They enjoyed the rabbit they hunt for dinner.
The next morning they burnt the carriage attached to the horse and let Sebastian used the other one while Elena hides in her shadows.
