9 Trivial Remarks (1/2)

I lay down my bed thinking of what I just learned from the three. I thought that the Dark Emperor was feared because of his dictatorship, but it was more than that. He was an accomplished person and a righteous one. Like, yeah what's wrong with that? and how is that scary?

Well it is because when he was 15, he became renowned young scholar for his intelligence and quick wits. He outsmart a lot of scholars back then despite being young. At 16, where everyone thought he was just some weak scholar, turned out he was also a very strong martial artist rivaling hundreds of other powerful experts. He was young but he already beaten the top 3 expert in the ranking thus ranking himas the third powerful expert in the world.

With all this his father not yet wanting tolet the throne go, felt threaten by his own son, where the previous Emperor tried to kill him and sent assassin to him every day. The Dark Emperor didn't do much to his father, not yet. It turns out in a year, when he turned 17, he started a rebellion where he presented all the corrupt, unlawful, and immoral things his father did. Many officials backed him up and he decided to execute his father publicly.

After that, The Dark Emperor giving the excuse that he wasstill young let theEmpress--which is one of his father's promoted concubine---be the temporary regent as he dig out corrupted officials in the palace. He found out the corruption from the royal family thus he himself removed them. He was accused of being crazy, but he got many evidence to back him up. Thus at the age of 18, he was enthroned and became the Emperor. With almost brand-new loyal to the Emperor and Empire officials.

All I can say is that... that was crazy life he's living. He have a crazy past and all he can do is to keep forward. Not for himself but for the Empire. I feel a bit sorry for him. I sincerely do. He must done so much, he must have to choose a lot of things for him to be cold and dark hearted. Not by choice, but because this is what he needed to do.

”What a pitiful---”

I was startled when I heard commotion of breaking downstairs. I quickly got up and went down to where I hear a lot of noises. As I was walking down, I seetwo women in the middle of gossiping ladies. It was Cassidy Trushen and Belein Antes.

Belein is standing with a pitcher in hand and Cassidy is at the floor drenched with juice.

”Miss Antes, what did I do to you... for you to do it this to me?” Cassidy started crying. People glared at Belein as if she's the villain.

”You too faced bitch! You set me up to this!” Belein thrown the pitcher and it broke near Cassidy. Where shards of the pitcher flew and cut Cassidy's face.This further escalated the anger of many onlookers towards Belein. Now Belein was frozen from the looks she's receiving.

”I really didn't mean it... it was her who...” Belein was in verge of crying. Of course, she's a kid, she would be scared when given hatred from things she didn't do.

”Enough Miss Antes! Miss Trushen came from a humble background but that doesn't mean you can just bully people you hate!” A girl from one of the East ladies said as she helped Cassidy up. I noticed the slight curl on her lips. Ah.. What a sly fox indeed

”I always knew she's a barbaric and unrefined person, but I didn't expect it to this extent. What a disgrace.” Said by Pharisen as she shook her head as if she disapprove such behavior. I looked around and it's obvious that Belein is already in the disadvantageous position.

I can help her, but I don't see how it will be a really good thing. Infact, it will only be hard if I intervene. After all, I wouldn't want Trushen's attention. Might as well go back up and sleep--

”Look who's talking. Belein was right you know? Cassidy is a two-face fox while you? You're a hypocrite. You hated the Emperor the most, saying how much you disagree with his ways and all that. Now you're here?” I easily identified Resitaire's voice. This kids. Why must they do this? Couldn't they just let it go? They'll be escaping later for God's sake.
