While Terra was underground little did he know the circumstances of the town he spawned. The village of Dragoon of the Draken Kingdom was ruled by one sole king and his daughter heiress to the throne. The first king Draken had according to legend slain a dragon and feasted upon the dragon's meat. He was then called the dragon king by many. However, little does anyone else know another story is told only in the darkest of rumors and quieted whispers within the palace walls. Draken after killing the dragon, found the nest of the dragon. Then Draken took the dragon egg for himself in a fit of greed. To this day the egg lies in the kings vault unknown with what it is as the passage of time forgets its existence while it waits for the time to hatch.
Maria Atlas otherwise known as the scarlet empress was enjoying a relaxing day off. She had just come out of the restaurant in the village of dragoon where the infamous "dragon meat" was said to be cooked. Here, no one knew who she was. That didn't mean however she walked without a disguise, no, she had her hood covering her face as to not attract attention. Maria was if not is to be considered a beautiful girl. So as to not attract keeps her hood up in towns. Another reason though is the cursed name "Scarlet Empress". Maria could only mentally sigh at the thought of the troubles that came with the name. Her avatar's name was Mary. Unlike the reputation her name implies she nearly and always is just a normal girl.
*Ping, the sound of a new message appeared in front of her.
"We have a new job for you." At this Mary raised her brow. Her guild members were one of the highest ranked guilds in RoyalRoad. She herself was one of the double digit ranked character in the world. More importantly Mary frowned. Her teammates knew that today was her off day in which no one should bother her. As if knowing this another messaged was sent to her.
Stolen novel; please report.
"The job comes from the guildmaster." Mary didn't like being disturbed on her day off but she couldn't refuse "him" could she.
"Alright whats the job?" Mary waited a few seconds before the next message popped up.
"The king of Draken has requested from our guild and countless others protection regarding an object." Mary thought for a while.
"What's the object?"
"We do not know. Will you accept the job?" Mary looked at her money. She was running a little low after getting her equipment repaired after the war.
"Yeah I will accept."
"Good, then go to the king's palace by tomorrow." Mary got up and stretched before sighing. I was looking forward to today too. She started to walk when she noticed a crowd beginning to form around a store. Curiously she went there too. Along the windows of the store a mark was drawn in red. A circle with an X running through it.
"That is the fifth this week." Mary started to listen to the rumors floating.
"They say he only went out for one day to find this." "How horrible the phantom troupe has struck again."
"As usual his calling card is here too." "Okay people scram we will take care of this." The guards had arrived at the scene. Mary began to walk away not noticing the smirking face of one man. The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime....
