THE MONTH OF STRONG SUN(JUNE), 30TH DAY, YEAR 500 OF THE IMPERIAL CALENDAR

A lot has happened within the past three days.

Firstly, I have discovered one of the gifts I requested from God. Although I discovered it by mistake, I’m sure I would have figured out about it sooner or later.

I had woken up early the next morning before daybreak after my meeting with Dralden and Wilheim. It was still dark out, and the only source of light in the room was a nearly burned out candle that had been lit by my wet nurses, who also had fallen asleep sitting up in chairs next to each other.

I decided to take this time to ponder about my experiences from the last two days.

I decided first to think what my plan of action would be. I am sure at this point, that by having a weak Empress on the throne would be dangerous in the upcoming years, although Dralden is sitting in for me before I am officially crowned and have to take over.

That said, I started to think about the gifts I had requested from God, as well as the Divine Blessing I was to receive. I went over a list in my head before something popped up before my eyes and suddenly scaring me, causing to let out a little ‘eeeeep’.

It was a menu.

I slowly turned and looked over at the nurses, who were still asleep. I felt a little bad for them, having to look over me 24/7. I drew my attention back to the menu. The menu was on the list of things I had requested. As soon as I thought about it, it opened up.

It listed various Items.

[Name]: Siamara le Maria Dawsten I

[Race]: Lamia

[Gender]: Female

[Age]: 2 days, 6 hours, 5 minutes, 31 seconds

[State of Health]: Healthy, Status Ailments: None

[Mana]: 3,076/3,076

[Level]: 0, Evolution acquired at Lvl: 53

[Skills]: Appraisal lvl.1, Essence Stealer lvl.1, Seduction lvl.1, Universal Translation lvl.1, Venom Enhancement lvl.1

[Curses]: Current Curse(s): None

[Blessings]: Current Blessing(s): None

The first thing I noticed was my skills list. Another thing I had requested had been appraisal in some sort of form, as well as some ability to allow me to translate what others were saying. Admittedly, I use to read a lot of manga and light novels when I was back on earth.

Anyways, I continued looking at the the skill list, and looked at the other skills listed. There was Seduction, which made sense, since Lamia, at least the version I knew, were a female only species that mated with males of other species to reproduce, so they needed the art of seduction to bring men in and reproduce, usually killing them in the process, probably with that skill Essence Stealer.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The last skill I looked at was Venom Enhancement, which I couldn’t really figure out. I guess I would have to test these skills out some other time.

I continued looking through the menu, and noticed the status of Blessings, which said “None”. This made me lose my cool for a little. I couldn’t think of any reasons of why it wouldn’t have my blessing. I had to calm down and decided to dismiss thinking about the Blessings, otherwise I might have a panic attack, and I doubt this body of mine could handle it.

I decided to look one last time at the menu, and looked at Level. I noticed the word “Evolution” and immediately got excited. Sure I would have to be level 53, but I had 500 years, I’m sure I could achieve it in no time. I decided to think about what my evolution is like.

I eventually got tired and started to drift back to sleep, as I did, I noticed the menu disappear. I decided not to look into and stress about it and closed my eyes.

Later around mid-day I woke back up. This time the nurses were awake and alert. They then began their same morning routine they had performed yesterday.

After about an hour we left my room, I was dressed in a new silk gown that I once again thought was beautiful.

This time however, we did not go to the lovely garden from yesterday, instead we were in the throne room, which felt pretty empty compared to when I was birthed.

Waiting at the right of the throne at the top of the steps was Wilheim. He looked just as timid and nervous as yesterday, but this time he was standing perfectly still with good posture. Honestly, it was a big improvement.

The nurses carried me up the short flight of stairs and placed me upon the surprisingly comfortable throne. I waited there for a few minutes, playing with my tail, waiting for something to happen, seeing as the throne room was dead silent.

After a few minutes, the hall doors opened, and in came a group of knights. Although these were no regular looking knights like the guards positioned around various posts around the palace, these nights were wearing black and red colored armor. Not only that, but these knights had bid wings folded behind their backs as well as a tail. They stopped at the bottom of the steps and all knelt in unison.

“We are thankful to be allowed in your presence your majesty!” said the knight in the very front, whom had a feminine voice.

I simply tilted my head towards them, since I couldn’t speak, there was no way I could respond, besides hand gestures.

The one who had spoke was probably the leader. After about five seconds, she and her comrades raised their heads and looked up at me. At that moment I felt a bit stressed from all the attention.

I did not notice, but Dralden had appeared on the other side of the throne from Wilheim. Due this I jumped and let out a little ‘eeeeep’ when he finally spoke.

“Welcome, Blood Knights of the Royal Guard…”

Everyone turned their attention towards him.

“I have called you here today for one reason. This is to assign you the most important mission of your lives.”

A few of them let out surprised or confused sounds.

“From today forwards, you will be the bodyguard unit of her majesty Empress Siamara.”

At that moment they gasped and looked back at the floor again. The leader once again spoke.

“We graciously accept!”

The air felt a little tense after that, so I decided to put on a smile and clap childishly to signify that I approve. All at once the knights let out deep sighs.

The leader then took her helmet off, revealing a woman with short, red hair, tan skin, green eyes, and small horns on her head with a patch of red scales around the base of them.

“Then I, Squad Commander Felice Adatalia swear from today here on out that I, and the other knights of my order will serve and protect Empress Siamara le Marie Dawsten I with our bodies and lives!”

And from that moment on, I had a elite unit of dragonoid bodyguards protecting my very existence.

THE MONTH OF STRONG SUN(JUNE), 27TH DAY, YEAR 500 OF THE IMPERIAL CALENDAR

Thousands of miles away, across the ocean from the Luscian Continent, sat a man upon his throne. This man was the King of Vuruthian Kingdom. He was in his early 40’s, and had dark brown hair, as well as a small beard.

His day was going the same as usual, Wake up, get prepared, see his daughter and son off to the royal academy, then meet with his advisers with boring reports about the state of the kingdom.

That was how his day had been up till now, until suddenly a man burst through his throne room doors.

“Sire! Sire!” the man yelled frantically.

“Calm down now, what is it?” the King responded curiously.

“It’s about the about the Demon Empire! The new Demon Empress has been born!”

At this moment, the man known as King Jeremiah’s face went slack. The Demon Emperor had disappeared around 2 years ago, how was it that a child was born after 2 years post his disappearance.

Prior to his disappearance, there had been a rumor that the Demon Empire might declare war upon humanity.

If this birth meant what he thought it meant, then it meant humanity might be in serious trouble.
