Outside the headmaster's office, Jenny held her breath, terrified of what was about to happen. She wasn't ignorant of the outside world and knew of everything that had happened to the Imperial family. The sudden summons made her heart skip a beat as she wondered if they suspected her of any involvement.
She knew the rumours and horror stories. Although she was proud to be an Ammay, she was terrified of the system in place around her. She loved the Empire and the opportunities it gave her, something she never dreamed possible as a woman, but it was a system built on blood and control. She just hoped that after becoming a teacher, she would be free from its grasp whilst still enjoying its privileges. Looking at the Headmaster's door, she knew that was wishful thinking.
