The Seven Throne

Empress

My eyes opened, my first look fell on the white ceiling. My body hung limp in the treatment room, accompanied by Fenrir who was fast asleep beside the bed.

The healing magic circle engraved on the floor glowed faintly illuminating the room at night.

Moonlight through the window fell in my view. How long do I sleep?

The sound of the door opening squeaked softly.

"Oh, you're awake. How do you feel?"

I turn my eyes to look that only the King and the Prince are with the palace doctors.

I do not know how to behave. Am I in this state because of his actions?

"It's okay, please rest first if it hasn't fully recovered"

"We came here just to see how you are, but it looks like you're fine"

"Doctor, please treat him well, we still have a business to meet with guests"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

So the King and Prince left the treatment room.

Only a female doctor was left, around twenty years when viewed from her appearance. Beautiful with a gentle attitude.

"Hello, this is our first time meeting, right? My name is Azalea, you don't need to be too formal with me, our years are not much different"

That may be true, she looks like a bit older than me. But how does she know my age? I've never even talked about it.

I narrowed my eyes, this woman was a little suspicious.

But Azalea smiled softly in front of me. "Please don't look at me like that, it makes me blush," she quickly averted his eyes while blushing, his face turning red quickly.

!?

That's a suspicious reaction, I need to be more careful.

"Sorry for being suddenly, but I was asked to take you to see His Imperial Majesty."

I obeyed without some rejection. If something will be dangerous, I must use all my strength to run away.

I don't know who this Empress is, but his position must be very high.

After walking for some time, we arrived at a special room reserved for guests.

There is a sofa, a large bed, a desk, and some other complementary furniture.

Inside there was a woman who sat elegantly on the couch and was accompanied by a young girl who stood by her side full of smiles.

"Thank you, Azalea. You may go"

For some reason, that woman's voice felt familiar to me, like there was some longing inside.

"Sit down, let's talk for a moment"

I accepted the offer and immediately sat on the sofa. Strangely, this sofa feels softer than it looks, my body feels like it's almost sucked into it. This comfort makes me feel lighter, my tiredness has been removed in an instant.

Ahh ... I want to be here longer.

The woman smiled softly, "Very comfortable, is not it? I hope you can get rid of your suspicion to us"

After I sat down calmly, the young girl cheerfully immediately sat next to the woman.

Looking closer, the woman's face was far more beautiful than any woman I'd ever met, the girl beside her had some similarities to her.

Maybe they both mother and daughter.

Seeing the two of them makes me feel jealous, if I still have a family, I might be able to like them.

Unfortunately, I don't even have any memories of my family, let alone my origins.

"If you really are an Empress, I want to ask something"

"Sure, please ask"

Maybe this person knows something about my golden dragon dagger.

I pulled out the golden dragon's dagger and put it on the table.

"Do you know about this dagger? I want to know more about it"

The woman looked a little disturbed by this dagger, but she quickly calmed herself.

"This is the real body of the Golden Dragon Emperor, the first dragon that created chaos in the world three thousand years ago. In the legend, it is said that the whole kingdom mobilized all the existing magicians to separate their bodies and soul. They did succeed, but all the magicians involved in sealing lose lives as payment. "

"But it doesn't finish yet, his body itself had the will to live and raged without any soul. Finally, the gods intervened and sealed the body of the Golden Dragon Emperor into a dagger in twenty layers of seals. While his soul was broken into seven parts and became weapons that we know as the Seven Holy Weapon now. "

Twenty seals? Does that mean I have removed the first three seals?

And if so, then this could be a disaster. I have brought together one of the broken souls with the original body.

"This is indeed a little worrying when you bring the body and one of the soul fragments. But as long as everything is not united, it doesn't matter. Please remember this, the Golden Dragon Emperor is immortal, so it can be a big disaster if he gets back up."

This is getting complicated! I just wanted to know about my origins through the golden dragon's dagger, but a heavy burden fell on me.

"Maybe you have felt it yourself after experiencing it today, the union also impacts on users, in addition to changing personalities, your way of thinking will also be influenced"

"Alright, I'll be more careful next time"

The Empress nodded, "Un, that's good"

Ok, let's put that woman aside. The young girl beside her seemed to be looking at me enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with interest.

"Ah that's right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Anastasia Ishtar, the current Empress's. And beside me is my daughter, Anisa Ishtar. Forgive my daughter's behavior, she became so enthusiastic after seeing your fight at that time"

"Anisa, please show your politeness to our guest. It's not polite to behave like that"

The girl named Anisa tried to change the way she sat like her mother, but the look in her eyes did not change.

Ms. Anastasia laughed softly at the cute behavior of her daughter.

Ahh ... Warm family relations. I'm quite jealous.

"Alright, let's get to the main topic. After this, there will be an important meeting which will be attended by the kings of the seven main kingdoms and myself. Because the Holy Throne Festival this time is different from before, we will determine who goes where"

Could that be what King Goudon talked about before?

"What does it mean?"

Anisa explained.

"It means that each candidate of the Seven Kings will be divided into seven main kingdoms to be trained and guided on how to fight and the system of government. But because this time there are eight people, one of them will be taken to the Empire. And you are the one we chose"

"Is that okay?"

"Take it easy, no one will dare to oppose the Empress's decision. Besides it, this is to make it easier to find the liar who claims to be a candidate for the Seven Kings."

I think this is the best condition for me, besides the guaranteed protection, I can get experience from a place with the highest status among others.

"It seems you have agreed. Then please wear this mask and cover yourself. We will attend the meeting."

I received the mask from Anisa, a white mask with gold engraving on it. I immediately wrapped myself in a robe from the shadows. If other people saw me, I would be considered suspicious. But my presence with the Empress must have erased their suspicion.
