Empires of Ashes

"I am sorry my lords"

"For what?"

"My disobedience"

"You haven't disobeyed either of us"

"I spoke out of line"

"When?"

Trajan: it is forgiven LI

"This should be interesting"

LI: I.........I........
Trajan: are you alright?
she shakes her head
Trajan: Put your helmet back on
LI: thankyou my lord *she does so*

"What's wrong?"

"I dont like showing my face"

"Ohh"

"I am sorry if this offends you"

"It doesn't, I was merely curious"

she nods
Trajan turns to the prince
"nephew let me be clear. nothing we have learned here EVER leaves this tent, understand?"

"Of course Uncle"

"good. Now then LI, do you still wish to serve in my personal guard?"
she nods
"excellent. I want you present at any and all meetings I have with commanders and dignitaries of Dracian or foreign origin, and I want you at my side should I choose to fight on foot, understood?"
she nods again
"Dismissed"

*After she leaves*
"That was fun"

"indeed... quite eye opening. And I see you underestimated her strength *chuckles*"

*He smiles*

"She would still need atleast two hands to snap someone who isn't trapped"

"true, but be careful. I saw a clavae crush a man's skull with one hand before as if it were a chicken egg"

"I'm always armed, plus I don't plan on pissing off a Clavae anytime soon"

"smart man, you'll go far with that attitude"

"Thank you"

he pats him on the back

"Is there anything else we have to discuss? I need to finish a few of my Royal duties before we continue"

"do you trust me nephew?"

"My father trusts you enough to have his eldest son and heir accompany you to war. What do you need?"

"I'm curious is all. And you didnt answer the question. do you trust me?"

"I don't trust anyone wholeheartedly, but you are family, so yes"

"my thoughts exactly... Tell me my prince, do you know who our most famous ancestor was?"

"Mother told us of him...The one who purged most of the Dracian government......Alexios"

"The purgator. The only reason Dracia still stands"

"What about him?"

"I see a little of him in you"

"You do?"

"I do"

"Ohhh"

he nods

"....what of him to you see?"

"what?"

"You said you see a bit of him in me, which bit?"

"you know I wasnt being literal lad right? Its not like you have his arm or face or whatever"

"Usually when someone says that they mean personality traits"

"I cant put my finger on what exactly. Anyway, I need to get some sleep"

"In that case I will leave you to get some sleep"

"goodnight"

*He leaves and returns to his own tent*

OOC. ...so.... im halfway through aldnoah zero aaaand....

Spoiler:

OOC: What sort of anime is it? If it's Gundam there will be some space magic or a new big bad, if it's anything else expect ludicrous fanservice.

Also, watch Kill La Kill. Seriously, it's amazing the fight scenes are really quite very good....even if the protagonist wears fuck all during combat.
