Chapter 44: First Day/Year: Little Scarlet Empress...
First Day/Year: Physical Strengthening.
"What are you still doing there? Little wimps?! Do you want some of Gramps Fist of Love! Huh?!"
Marek looked over the sweating, bruised, and disorganized yet determined little kids with an approving gaze:
"I thought a lot more will drop out by now. Only a fifth did. It's Really is the blood of my ATLAS Empire!"
Shahrazad laughed:
"Is it in more because you spend your days spoiling them like little princes, your majesty?"
Roygun also took his arm and whispered in his ear:
"You are so cute with kids. I find it endearing. Darling~"
Marek had a red face:
"Roygun! There is kids watching. Stop doing that!"
She still had a sultry face:
"It's funny how you are flustered every time~ If only you would let me 'heal' you~"
"We are not even married yet! Devils are so improper."
"Oh! So you were planning on marrying me~
He calmed down and sighed as he looked eyes with Shahrazad:
"Yes, I am planning too. If you two bestow on me this honor, My Empresses."
Shahrazad chuckled looking at the flustered Roygun:
"It's gets your heart pounding when he First calls you that."
Roygun nodded as Marek and Shahrazad laughed lightly. The three of them got a lot closer during this year. Although Marek set some strict 'boundaries' for himself, to not let the Tarek's side take him into depravity, they still had a fun everyday life. Living like husband and wives taking care of a 50 000 Family.
Marek sighed deeply:
"I just hope everything goes smoothly on the other side. Zeno should be back from his mission in another year."
Shahrazad smiled lightly:
"You could have sent Silva alone. But you didn't want Zeno to 'teach' them yet, did you?"
Marek nodded:
"For now, let them build a good body. Yoruichi is good at leaning them into the mind of Assassins, for now."
Roygun's face brightened:
"Oh?! You mean Kuro-chan! She is been trying to get 'her revenge' for a while now."
He had a wide smile:
"She is getting faster and faster with time. She might catch me of guard sometime."
Roygun pouted:
"It's just like you, using a maiden's grudge to make her stronger."
Supreme Council.
Lelouch Vi Britania, was sitting in his highest Vizir's position, a serious face as he finished explaining the content of the mission for the new member of the Council:
Shadow of the Empire- Silva Zoldyck.
Lelouch summarized:
"So in summary, The Killing God is a neutral organized that has operated as bounty assassins for millenials. None of the existent countries know where they hide. They can kill anyone as long as the price is high enough. Their network extends to the whole continent, having Headquarters in each country from an Empire to a County. But with the Project codename 'A' we will have a force that vastly oustrips them. So what do we need is actually only their network."
Silva smiled manically as everyone felt chills on their body:
"So what I need is to kill everyone."
Euphemia couldn't help but ask:
"Won't you need any help?"
"Oy, Ojou-san. Aren't you too gentle to be running a country?"
Behind her they heard an old man's voice. Euphemia immediately turned around to find a hunched old man with a Fu Manchu Moustache, smiling kindly at her.
"Zeno-sama. You scared me!"
The old man laughed lightly:
"Take care of yourself and your citizens and stop worrying about bloodthirsty bastards like us. Silva! Let's Go! The chopper is already ready. I need to get back to teach the kids."
Silva nodded and turned back:
"First Vizir it will be done. The Zoldyck never fail an assassination"
They immediately disappeared. C.C who was back from the hyperbolic chamber sighed:
"I never saw such chilling people in my life."
Lelouch closed his eyes: "Indeed it feels like talking to death itself. Zoldyck Family, huh. His Majesty never compromise when it come to subordinates, does he?"
"Only the best, that's what he says." Schneizel smiled lightly.
Fairy Tail, Somewhere near Rosmary Village.
A forest, trees everywhere, the large trunks hid the sun itself plunging the whole place into darkness. Near a water source, a young boy was asleep like a princess, although small his body seemed robust, especially for someone his age. He has a rather long hair, a cute face. A little curiosity about him, he had a small tail. A little blue light was turning around him, like a little fairy. The image seemed rather beautiful, straight up from a fairy tale : A little monkey kid passed out in the middle of a forest, a mysterious blue light flying around him.
Suddenly the boy's eyes slowly opened. His eyes were rather peculiar, they were all purple, with concentric circles in them.
The boy then slowly stood up. He looked at the mysterious forest around him, he heard the cries of some creatures, he looked up at the covered-up sun. He then approached the water source, noticing his weird eyes, his conspicuous tail:
"Who am I?"
This question was thrown like a little pebble in the wind, not receiving any response whatsoever. As he realized his other weirdness, his voice.
"What am I?"
Suddenly the blue light flickered as it appeared in front of him surprising in the process.
"What is this?"
He said as he instinctively extended his hand. He heard a mechanical voice:
"I am the King Piece, I serve you as my master."
The boy was surprised by the voice, but he still grabbed the piece.
"Do you happen to know who I am?"
"Yes"
"Can you tell me?"
"Negative."
"Why?"
"I have been forbidden to do that."
"By whom?"
"I have been forbidden to tell you that too."
He had made a sad face.
"But I was ordered to deliver you a message"
He suddenly had an anticipating gaze:
"You are an Emperor, act like one."
The boy had a surprised face and a little smile as a word kept repeating itself in his head:
"EmperorEmp..eror"
The more he mumbled this word, the more he felt comfortable with it:
"Emperor!! That's what I am!!"
Suddenly a 'Ding! Ding!' sound was heard as a screen appeared in front of him.
Main Quest Completion 0% Current Wealth: 100 000 Jewels
First achievement: Acknowledging status as an Emperor. First reward: Memories of Deva Path.
Suddenly a number of memories immediately appeared in his head!
He touched his eyes as he pronounced:
"RinneGan"
He then looked up at the screen reading the content:
"Main Quest? What is that?"
"It's the task you have been entrusted with."
"Task?"
"Indeed, you are in this world for a purpose."
"I will help you fulfill it as you continue to live on your life."
The little boy had a pondering face that made him look even cuter.
Suddenly one notification appeared:
"First Mission: Go to Rosemary village at east of the forest."
The little boy advanced slowly. Testing his weird powers on any savage beast that threatened him in his way. He thought:
'I am super strong! As expected of an Emperor!'
He also found himself pretty okay with fighting, like it was instinct for him.
He arrived at the peaceful town.
'I am hungry, let's eat!!'
He entered an old tavern and quickly ran to the cute tavern woman:
"Miss! Do you sell meat here?!"
The woman looked at the cute boy, spooked a little by his weird eyes and spiked hair but still nodded:
"Yes, do you want some?"
He smiled widely as he paid and ate up.
"MOAR!!"
He cried alerting all the clients. Suddenly as the time passed dish after dish kept piling up as it seems his little stomach was an endless pit!
Finally, under everyone's googly eyes he finished eating, a big bump on his belly. That's when...
He heard the sound of another stomach gurgling.
The boy turned his head, to his surprise he found a little girl clumsily hiding out. Looking at him intently with a little piece of bread in her hand, covering half her face.
The first thing that came out in his head was
"Whoa! Such beautiful hair!"
The little girl immediately turned around and started running away!
"Hey! You! Wait!"
He immediately paid up and run at full speed, even creating wind in the process.
He then stealthy followed her, curious, trying to get a glance of her .
He saw the little girl going back in an abandoned Cabin, little thread of tears on her face. The face he finally saw!
The same moment a name came out from his mouth:
"ErzaErza Scarlet."
The girl who heard her name turned around to find the curious looking boy of earlier. She immediately stood up in fright! This time the boy immediately reacted:
"Stop! Please! Could you just stay?"
"Just for one moment!"
Erza looked at the panicked boy, and nodded lightly before staying in place. He approached her and sat beside her:
"So your name is Erza Scarlet, after all."
She titled her head cutely:
"OnlyErza. I don't have surname."
The boy had wondering expression.
'Then why did I call her 'Scarlet'?'
He started pondering puffing his face on the process making it look like a big tomato.
The girl was amused by his antics:
'He seemed scary, but he is kind of silly'
The boy then looked at her hair:
'Is it because of its color?'
He then grinned naughtily:
"Then this Emperor will give you this last name!"
"Erza Scarlet it fits you since your hair is so beautiful! Be honored! Hmph! Hmph!"
He said bombing his chest, with a prideful face.
'Indeed, this is how an Emperor should act!'
Erza looked at him with surprise, then looked at her hair, blushing lightly. The boy was mesmerized by her cute behavior, he took an even more exaggerated stance:
"You may even have the chance of becoming my Empress! Hmph! Hmph!"
Erza head titled as she repeated:
"Emp- Ress?"
The boy had a red face as he realized how embarrassing he was being, he changed the subject landing her his hand:
"Forget about that!"
"And follow me A girl shouldn't live in this dump. You need new clothing and good food too"
Erza hesitated a little before taking his hand. She felt the strength and warm feeling in her hand, giving her a great sense of security. She smiled whispering under her breath:
"Empress"
