1 War Time.

Date 05/20/2025 F.E.

I am Princess Sarah Abbott this is my first journal entry.

Today learned that many of the normal students that go to school get out this month, although I am stuck studying all year round until I reach the age of 20 and I may not leave the Royal Fortress until then. Even when I am allowed out, it will be to leave and look for a romantic partner in secret. Each generation looks for their own husband in the cities of their choosing. I know that you may think this is outrageous, but each queen is to have at least three other kids during their time in case a princess cannot find a romantic partner in time. I am the oldest sister of four kids and we all are 4 years apart. Another thing you might want to know is that they keep us from the public.

The public doesn't get to know when the queen is having children, and neither do they get to know the kids themselves. My youngest sister is 7 years old and her name is Adela Abbott, and my other sister is Cecilia Abbott.

Sarah Abbott's perspective

*Knock-knock-Knock!*

"Madam, the queen needs to speak with you!"

"I'll Be out in a second!"

'It looks like I must finish this later.'

Sarah Abbott had brown hair that mixes with a wonderful copper red hair and her skin is clean and soft. Although her skin could be light white, it is naturally a darker brown. The lack of sunlight keeps her skin tone white, but whenever she's exposed to sunlight, her skin becomes darker and has more color. Her dresses had always been white and another color with black accenting on it.

*Click-Creek-Poom*

She opened the door and looked right at the man in front of her who waited to escort her to the queen's room.

"Follow me, please."

"Certainly."

Once she was walking down the hall a window that showed the outside of the fortress' primary colors are all black with gold accents, while the inside was white with gold accents that both represented the empire.

'I wonder what it looks like outside this fortress. For the last fifteen years, I've been a secret child along with all my siblings. No one can know our Identities. This way we can look for great husbands without the background of royalty to change our partner's view of us. It's a little sad that he has no other importance other than being the one who helps us bear a child.'

"We're here, madam."

*Fwoop*

"It's good to see you, my daughter. I need to talk with you in private."

*Fwoop*

The door behind me closed so that no one can hear about the conversation we were about to have and there she was sitting in a bed big enough for three people to sleep on.

"There is a massive war starting about 25 miles north from here and I need you to find a husband."

"Wait! A husband! But I am only 16 years old."

"Yes, but at the very least you can find a boyfriend."

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"You will go to a military school program nearby where many of the children your age live. Although you will attend it, you will still be in your normal classes. This time, though, you will attend combat classes with the students."

"Will there be anyone else in my classes?"

"Half of them will have other students, but others will be private. Those classes are only taught to Royalty. In fact, your sister can be there to join you for your last year."

"Wouldn't that be four years from now?"

"Yes, but at least someone else would be there."

"When will I be going?"

"Next week."

"That's so soon! Why am I leaving so quickly?"

"summer is going to begin for them and so is their first day of summer combat classes."

"Does that mean I need not attend the normal classes?"

"You will attend all those classes outside of the combat ones. if any special occasion comes from them you need to make up what you miss during those trips."

"Yes, mom."

Sarah's heart began to flutter from the exhilarating idea of being able to go to school with other students but at the same time, the anxiety began to well up as she thought about it more

"Alright, head back to your room and get the clothes we prepared you. They're better suited to blending in with the others."

Sarah hugged her mom before leaving.

"Ok, mom! I love you and take care okay."

"I will. You study and take care of yourself too."

Sarah got up from her mother's bed and walked out the sliding door, greeted by the man waiting for her earlier.

"Alright, take me back to my room, Mr. Oliver."

Oliver is a highly trained protector assigned to me as both a tutor and a bodyguard. He's tall with a powerful frame despite his slim nature. His hair was wavy and black while his skin color was white.

"Do you ever do anything that we have to do, Mr. Oliver?"

"Like what?"

"Like the fifteen years of education that I have to do."

"Well, in fact, I have to go through 20 years of education to be where I am at."

"That's way too long!"

"well, there are others who have been learning much longer than I have."

"Really?"

"This world is much more complex than it used to be two thousand years ago. They may have a better education, but it still takes even longer now. But compared to two thousand years ago, we only take about a 4th as long to produce the same education."

"huh? was it really that slow?"

"Well, at the time they were using an outdated method of teaching is for manual labor. Were here now I'll tell you more later, okay?"

"Okay."

Sarah walked into her room and noticed the clothes on her bed, which were sleek and looked to be better for running.

"This just reminds me of the clothes I use for the gym."

Sarah noticed a note next to her clothes.

It would be best if you can get a haircut to make your hair shorter, to dissuade the resemblance between you and your mother. We would also like for you to go outside more to tan your skin as they don't know about your family and their darker skin.

"Oh geez, I guess I have to listen then…"

After Sarah finished changing, she left her to head downstairs to the royal barber's area. but as soon as she was a short distance from her room, something weird happened.

*StooooooooOOO-CROOOM!*

"What was that!"

Sarah ran back to her room and there stood an 8-foot monster just leaving its mysterious pod.

"There's no way you're here!"

All the thing did was charge right after her, trying to kill her.

"OLIVER!"

She performed a powerful blood swipe attack that stunned the beast and ran towards Oliver's room just down the hall.

*Booom*

Oliver crashed through his door and saw the thing that was chasing Sarah and charged after it.

"I'll protect you!"

in an instant, Oliver did an uppercut to the thing and launched it into the ceiling.

*Crash-Poof!*

The thing landed face-first into the ground but it leaped towards Oliver and went for his face. He grabbed its arm and swung the thing into the ground and broke its arm, dislocating it.

"you'll pay for this!"

"The hell I am!"

Oliver's hand charged with a white plasma and smashed the head in of the beast, killing it.

"Are you okay!"

"y-yeah it only scared me."

Sarah was in the doorway of Oliver's room in a fetal position.

"We need to check on the queen! Can you run?"

"Y-Yes I can."

Sarah stood up as they both ran towards the queen's room upstairs.

"My queen!"

You could see the beaten up queen with her dress ripped apart and blood covering her dress with three of the Tokage-ju dead in front of her. But there was one more in front of her that was still alive.

"You really thought a queen couldn't protect herself!"

"Tsch!"

The beast looked as though he teleported in front of her and went to punch her, but she grabbed it and threw it over her and into the ground. It landed with its hand and feet and tried to pull her in. She stomped and water went straight for its feet as it jumped into the air. The queen threw her fist forward and sent a blood spike through the thing's chest, killing it midair.

"Looks like we can't wait a week. Oliver, get Sarah to the Academy by tomorrow."

"what about you? Are you okay?"

"Yes, the guards are busy taking out the others, but some got through to my room. But I don't know if it'll be safe for Sarah to stay another night here, so we need to send her off now!"

"Yes, mam!"

"come on, Madam, we need to leave."

Sarah ran towards her mother

"Mom, I'll miss you!"

"I'll miss you too and be safe."

"You too mom!"

Oliver and Sarah went down the stairs for three levels until they reached a key card only entry and he unlocked it.

"We have a car down here with stuff ready for you already."

"You guys were ready for me to leave already?"

"Well, once the news of the invasion reached us, we got the things ready in an hour."

"Well, at least, it's convenient for now."

The two got into a car and drove out the underground tunnel that linked to an underground highway.

"We'll be staying at a hotel for tonight so we can get the room at the school ready."

"Okay."

'Mom, I really hope you'll be okay.'
