Chapter 24

more people started to gather at the sight of the newly confirmed emperor, soo soldiers started rushing forward in an aggressive manner " Move out of the way, make way for the Golden Knights of Distillia " a raspy voice rang out as golden light emerged from the crowd.

People began to make a path like pepper in a bowl of water after pouring dish soup however surprisingly not out of fear as most people do in this empire but out of at most respect.

whispers began to emerge amongst the crowd " our upstanding knights are back from their journey, is this a sign of great to come " a woman whispered as the golden men passed in rows.

" I pray that they don't try to save the emperor, I hope they knee to the new empress," an old man said not hiding his intentions gaining gasps amongst the citizens around him.

Listening to all the whispers around me I felt that they accepted things too quickly with no doubts... No this is normal they can't doubt as the weak, they can only obey the strong.

Normally I would be against this but this world is completely different from the one, no it is only different on a surface level.

Instead of a world run by political power and wealth, this world is run by the true power of individuals.

I mentally slap myself for just thinking on the surface and not trying to understand what is the truth, cause if I continue to think on such a small scale my growth would be limited.

Although I don't have a full goal on what I want to become strong for yet, I most not stop growing for when the time comes that I make my choice.

Shaking my head from my deep thoughts I looked at the soldiers walking forward.

Their armor although made out of gold dirty and not well kept, dry blood splashed small areas around the helm, while from the shoulders down was covered in massive stains. The arms were no longer gold but red while by their fight I saw different shades of *sniff* brown.

I began to look at the with a frown my nose trying it's best him deep into my face at the smell.

watching them as they tried to walk down the path like badasses I couldn't help but feel annoyed, gritting my teeth hard against each other I called out to them.

" Hey stop wasting my time you stink and I want to fix my empire, yes you come on " I yelled out rudely as I gestured them forwards as they began to look amongst themselves in disbelief.

Finally, after jogging over they finally stood in front of their former emperor as the other soldiers made it to the square or what was left of them as they were closely followed behind my family.

" Oh, how you have falle- " " mother and sisters " called out interrupting what looked like the head Knight as they reached be I hugged them " I missed you " I cried out with wetted eyes. Sadi just sighed as my sisters returned my hugged and tears back deciding not to comment further on our shenanigans but turned her attention to the sack that lied weakly on the platform.

Pointing to the thing on the ground my mother smiled asking, " my dear daughter what have you done to him ". Pretending not to know what she was talking about I followed her finger that finally landed on the fleshy straws " this thing mother I have done nothing to It, I found this thing in my new palace I do not know why such a dirty thing was in my chambers but apparently it is a living thing so I decided to publicly execute it. " Claiming in an innocent voice I decided to waste no more time.

" HEAR ME, MY PEOPLE, my name is Nova Infinity, The Empress of The Infinity Empire," I said in a dignified voice filled with power, I looked over my new citizens some wanted to protest, some want to ask questions, but I ignored them all.

" This Thing has invaded my chambers as I went on a walk into the forest for some fresh air and pretend to be the ruler of this country " lightly kicking the thing I waved newt to come over, Stepping to me she prostrated before me as he god, awaiting her task.

" Duchess Newt, my right-hand knight, and most loyal follower I request you to take back your position as the general of my army and lead my empire to greatness by cutting the head of this stick... Wherever the head is on this thing " I ordered pretending to see it's head by looking all around.

Turning my back I walked away with swagger as my private soldiers and now my empire soldiers guarded me back, they questioned nothing. Just followed.

*shing* *splat* as I walked away the only thing that could be head was a leaking sound, not even a cheer. Just silence and relief.
