(Alpha Star System- Planet Gaia)
(Imperial Palace Complex- Unnamed Side Palace)
Sophie strode forward confidently as she stepped inside one of the many palaces that made up the Imperial Complex where the royal family and their direct descendants lived.
The multiple servants escorting her tried their best not to stare. They did not want to offend one of the most powerful young nobles in the Federation.
Today was Saturday… tomorrow would be the opening ceremony and then the selection trial would begin the following week.
Sophie did not reveal a hint of weakness in her demeanor but internally she was anything but calm.
She hated being in this place.
It reminded her of the day when she had been sent to the Unovan Syndicate due to the teleportation rune.
That was not a pleasant memory.
Being here… she could remember it all. The feeling of confusion and terror as the mad emperor cackled with glee.
