Getting out of the carriage of the Emperor palace as a guest and not a prisoner is something else. As me, my brother ,Cat and Sol stand and wait to be escorted in the large magnificent palace I look around to see that nothing has changed from my last life. From the large fountain with the statue of the first Emperor and the great saint covering they face standing side by side in the centre of the fountain as the water comes out from the feet and hands, then I also find the large maze garden I used to see from small my cell window larger and wider then I remembered and more greener. The only thing I could use to escape from my mind and that world. I remember wishing that before I die I could ask the Emperor if I could walk through the maze just once… just to have the feeling of getting lost and for no one to know where I am or who I am to just… disappear.
"Your Gace it a pleasure." Comes a voice from behind me. I quickly turn around to see a man in his late twenties bow then rise to look at me. His light brown hair, chocolate eyes, with is golden frame glass showing his kind smile to us.
"My name is Hans and I'm the Emperor assistant. Thank you for coming to the Emperor ball he is delighted that you have made a safe journey to the Capital and have attended his ball. Please do call me the rest of the guest are waiting inside" he says as I show the way inside.
I looked at my brother and he nods then we follow the Hans inside.
As we walk though the long hall we see all the painting of the previous Empire of the Kronos du Lux. The long line of men who all looking eerily the similar with a sculpted face, shape jawline and a strong nose (whatever that's supposed to mean.) all in all they all have that: 'I will be Emperor one day so just do what I tell you now so you do t waste my time' look but that not the only thing that makes them different from the rest of the people and nobles in the kingdom. The thing is that the Kronos du Lux blood line all have similar characteristics that more sure that they are the next true Emperor or they belong in the Kronos duLux line and that is the colour of they hair and the colour of they eyes.
Once a member of the Kronos du Lux is born the one thing they look for is how prominent they feature are for that determines how much power they hold by looking at the colour of they hair and eyes. If the colour of they hair and eyes is light brown and they eyes are hazel or lighter or even golden that mean they hold strong power that can hold the kingdom to the next generation and from what I see on the paintings I only see those colour on the previous Emperors going back many generations.
There has only been two Emperor that have shown tremendous power and ability that shook the kingdom to its core. The first was the first Emperor he was known as the Sun Emperor one of the most powerful warrior and greatest leaders that help build then lead the kingdom out of the dark monsters war and the one to fulfill the prophecy of leading the people of Kronos du Lux to light by the help of the Saint. He had bright golden blonde hair that shine like the sun and sky blue eyes and when fight or show the power he has the eyes changed to a deep red. Some say the red looked more like red rubys and others say his eyes look like blood and his hair burn like the bright sun river cause of the length it, that is why they call him the Sun Emperor. Those are rumour though.
"Count Ajax, your Grace, sir and madam please enter. The ball has already began" He said as we stopped in front of two large wooden door. I look at the man as he bow once more and as he look up we lock eyes. I could decipher his expression but something tell me that I should be care. I don't remember him from my pass life but I do remember that the Emperor had a different right hand that was name Sar one of his oldest friend that he grow up with but he is not here.
He knocks on the doors and they open.
"Please go in and enjoy the party. The Emperor has not come yet so please be patient." Then he bows once again and walk back into the long hall and disappears in the dark shadows. I scrunch my brows together in confusion as I look into the dark hall way.
"Little flame shall we." My brother says. I turn to see his hand stretched out towards me. I stop and look in the hall room full with people who are now slowly look towards our direction. I take a breath then reach out and took his hand but I could see that Ajax was not just looking at me but sneaking glances at Cat from time to time. He thinks I can't see it. How cute. My brother my be a cold hearted unfeeling psychopath but I believe that there is something in him it may not be a proper functioning heart but it's something and it's for Cat.
She is wearing one of my dresses that my brother got me last year I did change it up just a little to make it more for Cat then little sister next door. The black silk number is hugging her body perfectly showing all her tone curves in every step she takes and dear Count Ajax is mesmerised by it. Score!.
From the moment she came down the stairs with me to the carriage ride over he couldn't stop looking at her, well Sol kept complaining why she had to wear something so 'womanly' at a ball full of men, she just kept rolling her eyes at what he was saying and then reminded him that even in that dress she could still beat his ass in to the dirt and that made him shut his mouth. Well, my true reasons in dressing Cat this way was to see if my theory was right and this just confirms it.
"Yes we shall." I say as I smile to myself. Then we walk in.
But a thought still wrestle at the back of my mind. If so much has changed does that meanthe time line for the prophecy changed too.
And if so how much has it and what will happen this time around?
