PROLOGUE

Ava looked around the massive palace. She was currently at the Ivionian Imperial palace. The Ivionian Empire was known for its wealth and power as well as producing exceptional leaders. The former Emperor, Jerald Witson Leon was infamous for his  cold and cruel personality. The Emperor stained the Empire red in his sought for absolute power killing everyone in his way who stood against him, after his total victory he was still not satisfied. The Emperor increased the taxes and caused poverty to spread throughout the empire. Countless of innocent people died because of his greed, whilst the Empire suffered and grew weaker the Emperor began to surround himself with beautiful things from all Conner's of the world. Many people speculated that after Empress died, he was driven to madness, however the truth was that he was just consumed with a powerful blood lust and greed all his life. The Emperor had two sons, Crowned Prince Markus Jeremy Leon and Second Prince Jacques Joseph Leon. The Crowned Prince became the spitting image of his father. The Second Prince had enough and decided to put an end to the madness so he killed his father and brother along with all of the corrupt nobles who supported them, after ascending the throne, he was given the nickname of 'the tyrant emperor ' to those outside the empire, however the people of the emperor rejoiced and called him a saviour.

The events of the massacre took place 7 years ago and since then the Empire has become a better place to live. Ava smiled, thinking of the Empires history yet it all seemed familiar for some reason. "Ava, this is where you will be staying" Madame Jessica said, opening a door to a little room. It was small, and it barely even had room to walk. "Thank you, " she smiled cheerfully. "It's no problem, your new and I've been here the longest, so I'll give you some advice. Most of the maid's are shallow and self conceded so don't take anything they say to heart. Do your best and give it all" she smiled. "Thank you Madame Jessica" she smiled cheerfully. The grey haired woman smiled gently. "Excellent, get some rest. You start work first thing tomorrow " she smiled and left. Ava unpacked her suitcase. Working as a maid in the Imperial palace was a new start for her, perhaps this time she would be happy and safe. She changed into her uniform and walked through the halls. "Ava, I thought you were resting" she said calmly. "Pardon me, I'm just too excited to get to work, " she smiled cheerfully. "Excited to work? In all my years that's the first I heard that, " she laughed. "Is it that weird?" She asked innocently. "Not at all, this way, " she smiled, leading her to the kitchen. "You'll be on kitchen duty for now till further notice " she said. "Yes, ma'am, " she smiled cheerfully. Ava wasted no time in getting straight to work. Her bubbly, cheer l, innocent approach made everyone love her in no time.
