His Highness , The Emperor

[the next day, Holy Academy]

A massive crowd of kids around the age of seven were lined up and were listening to the principal's speech.

''I welcome you all today to my academy, as you all know I'm the principal also a lieutenant in the Holy Empire Army.

This academy was founded by the first emperor of our empire with the purpose to groom future generations of elites.

You all have different reasons for trying to enlist here, some of you like to walk the same path as your fathers, grandfathers and so on.

Some want to gain knowledge and grow to be outstanding individuals.

You made the right decisions to try to enrol here; this is the place for you.

And now to join the academy, you will have to go through two tests.

The first test is to enter the Secular Oak Forrest for a day and locate an ore called FOR, if you manage to be the first 4 to retrieve the metal, our blacksmith will, in turn, make you a weapon of your choice, be it a sword, sabre, spear or lance.

The second test is hand to hand combat. I sincerely wish you all the best.

And to add some motivation to you all, I would like to inform you that his majesty, Emperor Darius is currently at the academy to watch all of you perform, so do your best.''

Hearing that the emperor was in the stands watching their performance, everyone got pumped up.

'' I wonder why the emperor would be here today watching us? ''

''Haven't you heard, this year his youngest child, Prince David will be joining the academy. It's a pity though. I've heard that emperor has three boys, the oldest is called George, and he is a total disappointment, people call him crazy George, while the second is called John the fool as he is fooling around with women all day, he is what you call a skirt chaser. ''

'' I see, so the emperor hopes are on his youngest, will that mean the future emperor might be Prince David? ''

''Who knows, but is highly probable.''

...

Currently, in a room of the academy, a middle-aged man was having a conversation with a woman with silvery hair, the man also known as Emperor Darius was sitting while drinking wine from a cup.

''So you're saying that the key is here at the academy? ''

''Yes I'm here to inform you that she is here taking the enrollment test, as for what reasons she's here I don't know. I'll leave it to you to capture the girl. I'm taking my leave now '' said the woman as she vanished.

''Damn Woman treating me like her servant, who does she think she is, no matter after my plans come to fruition, I'll think of a way of taking care of her, damn demons the think they can control me, is me who shall have the last laugh.

Guards, call the lieutenant I have a task for him.''

Moments later the principal enters the room.

''You call for me, your highness? ''

''Yes Headmaster I have a task for you to accomplish after the enrollment ends I want you to detain a certain child registering for the academy.''
