"I wish rise for the sunshine of the empire Your majesty the emperor" I said with a buisness smile on my face and bowed a little.
"I m honoured to meet the hier of the most respected family of the empire... Indeed... You are as beautiful as I heard about you" he said with a strange smirk while looking at me.
"Thanku your majesty" I said again with a bow. It was a normal compliment which I recieve from almost every person I met so I wasn't in much shock.
"You must be wondering that why are you got called by me all of sudden, right?" The emperor said still with the strange smirk on his face.
"I guess.. I should be?" I questioned in confusion on what he gave a sign to one of his employee who was holding a scroll in his hands.
"According to The order of the great emperor of the empire The princess of the well known Gojo family..." The employee looked at me with a gulp probably knowing my reaction after listening the order "is congratulated to be the choosen one for the place of the empress of the empire" he completed his whole sentence while keeping his head low.
The moment he finished his line I made smirk on my face while shaking my head in nod like.. I can't believe what did I just heard.
As for others some persons were shaking in fear and some were looking confused at my reaction.
"What kind of reaction is that Lady gojo?" The emperor finally choose to question me himself.
I looked at him like *you really want to know*
"First of all, I m feeling sorry from the depth of my heart" I said with a dramatic shocked look, that made the strange smirk of the emperor fade in seconds.
"What are trying to say lady gojo?" Some of the ministers said in a bit of anger.
"I just apologized for my bad memory, because .... I clearly know my age is 15-16 and since your majesty wants to grace this lady by marrieng her then according to the imperial law he should be nearer 24-25... Isn't he?" I said sarcastically with an innocent look ".... But this pitiful lady and every person in this country thinks that your age is even higher then that" I continued.
Every person available in that place were still processing in there mind that what was I trying to say.
"Is that your final answer lady gojo?" The emperor said with a serious look.
"You got it right your majesty" I said with a smile.
"...You left me no choice" he said "Guards!" With that a pile of guards came to the assembly hall where we all were talking till now and stood beside me. "Take the lady to our special prison until the day of our marriage come".
Everyone in the place were normal when I got shook a bit.
"Are you really trying to use force on me?" I said with dramatic confused face.
He came to me from his seat of the throne and leaned towards my ear.
"Tbh... I didn't wanted to do that but I need your clan's secret power which is said to be invencible from years and since your family isn't willing to share that power with the empire, I offered a marriage proposal so that I can have that power automatically, but look at you.... still trying to ruin my plan... ruining the safest and brightest future of our people" he whispered with a bit annyoned face and signed his guards to take me away and started going back to his seat.
The whole time I was looking at him like a lost child.
"That's my classmate's nickname grandma you can't use that" I mumbled.
"I think there are some things need to be clarified your majesty" I said not moving from my position a bit, even when the guards were pushing me with there weapons to follow them.
"And what is that?" He said stoping in the way.
"First of all... Our clan doesn't have any secret power, it's just that we never used it like others do" I said with a blank look.
Everyone present in the assembly were feared at my action. On other hand the emperor was just looking confused.
"And second... I.am.the.power.of My clan" I said darkly, looking at the emperor with my diamond blue eyes that were surrounded with the blue aura of my 'cultivated blue fire'.
On the same time everyone in the assembly along with the guards around me fell on the ground because of my blue flame's attack.
Only the emperor was standing still while trying to understand the situation.
"Wha...guards!!" The emperor said in trembling voice finally feeling the pure fear to the core of his heart. But for his surprise no guard came.
"Your all guards are taken care of your ma...je...sty." I was slowly slowly going towards the emperor and he was going away from me on the same way. "So no one is coming right now" I said darkly but soon felt the emperor was looking at the entrance with hopeful eyes.
'is someone coming?'
I immediately looked at the entrance founding none other than Rio *he was the one who took care of the outer guards while I was busy here*
"How much" I said suddenly with a normal voice.
"It will take a week for them to recover" Rio said looking at the emperor with an angry look who was in horror just realising that his last hope is already destroyed. "With this level of courage.. how can You expect to marry the lady" he said going more closer to the emperor then I was.
"COURTESY!" I said sternly but soon relaxed myself "courtesy Rio courtesy.... you shouldn't talk to a emperor like that" I said with a calm smile on my face.
He didn't said anything after that, just stood on the side silently. I sighed and again started to talk with the majesty.
"Tbh... I didn't want to do this" I said leaning towards his face the same way he did to me before *revenge-revenge* "but since you are not listening from the beginning... This was the only choice I was left for..... And....as for the future of our people the majesty said about.... There will be nothing then more and more destruction,if I accept your plan....So I HUMBLY request the majesty to not do thease kind of things in the future" I completed my words and went back to our palace by teleportation.
After that day I didn't got another info about the emperor trying to do something fishy again but there was something else I have to take care of....
"Why can't we?" Rio said with a bit annyoned face.
we were in our class in free time.... Rio was sitting on a bench exactly behind me and I was talking with him while looking back all the time, but he was just looking at his book showing that he is angry with me.
If you (samiko) are wondering why I m studying even being the most powerful sorcerer of the world then.. I should tell you that the knowledge you will get as studying here will be not available anywhere ... Just kidding, I joined it because I wanted to have some fun.
"Because he is not a mere curse that we can kill anytime... He is a human... None other than the Emperor that lives in the heart of millions of people" I said trying to make him understand my side.
Since the day of our encounter with the emperor he was still angry with me that why we can't kill him since he is working against us.
"We will set up an another emperor.. who will be more capable.. how about we become one...?" He said looking at me with hopeful eyes.
I looked at him with done face.
"Oh really... Then just tell me the name of our most wealthy nabour countries?" I questioned him sarcastically making him relise that from our childhood we are only known to curses and sorcerers.
"We will later...." He mumbled finally feeling himself loss at words.
"We can.. but we shouldn't" I said trying to explain him properly "look...the curses living in this time may be weaker than you and me but... What about the future? What if there will suddenly appear a curse energy that isn't able to finish by us or we are no longer alive to kill it.. we will be in need of other sorcerers.. from other countries.. even our enemy one's.... But if we involve our selves in the politics of the emperor.. we will become the direct enemy to other countries... Sorcerers unit will be broken in no time... After all Saving a certain country was never our goal... we are sorcerer who fight for the whole world.... are you getting my point?" I said taking a deep breath after such a long explanation.
"How annoying" he said while rolling his eyes in boredom.
"What's annoying... May I know that too?" Our one and only classmate said interrupting our conversation.
His name is Zenin Kenzo, said to be the most powerful person able enough to be the next hier of his clan soon, but the only thing made me interested in him is his spirit to compete me, even we both are on different level of power with eachother.. he never failed to surprise me with his skills. But... Up to all something else is more notable about him..
"The great lady of gojo family is being annyoned for someone" he said with a mocking tone.
"No no.. I was just telling him.." I thought to clarify my side but then "I was telling him the story of the best rivalry of Gojo and Zenin but he end up saying that" I said looking at him with revengful eyes.
"Like I will believe it" he said with a pout but soon changed his mood to normal one "btw.. what is that emperor thing... we really can't kill him?" He made a serious look.
"Not you too mr. Zenin" I said with a sweatdrop, feeling only myself the most logical one.

After talking for some more time we went busy with the studies again.
We used to study all by ourselves because of being the strongest and dangerous persons of the school no one ever came to disturb us except the teachers, so the more we were dependable the best it was for us.
'school time' may sound normal but when you think about the meaning this word holds then your eyes will eventually end up with the tears of joy remembering the most fun time of your life. Hopefully It was the same for me.
Everything was smoothly and the best way it can, then suddenly one day....
"I want you to die for me"
