512 year of the imperial calendar. This year was a turning point in holy empire of Kaznar.

“Your highness, emperor Markus, Duke Alexandra has rebelled!” At that moment my mind went blank. As I prepared for to put on my armour sudden explosions take place. My body fell to the floor.

“Emperor,” one of my subordinate said before he was stopped. I couldn’t move to save him. His body dropped spilling his blood on to the cold white fur heating it up.

Before me was the man who rebelled,the one who caused a war which had killed not only my soldiers as supporters but the poor innocent civilians. This man was none other the my bastard of a brother Alexandra.

“My brother I really don’t know why father crowned you his heir. Despite knowing I had gained the support of the nobles. With your commoners you thought they could beat trained nobles.” I knew that. I knew he had more power even though I was the emperor. But I thought we promised we won’t fight over the throne. **** my stupidity. **** my naivety. **** me.

“Kill me then you fucker. Just get it over with.” Without a moment of hesitation, he plunged his sword into my heart. The pain was unbearable. My vision weakened. It was dark but I was not dead. I heard faint sounds of crying. However I wasn’t really popular so I don’t think people would be crying at my funeral. If they did brother would have killed them.

“Wake up Markus! Wake up please wake up.” Shouted an unknown voice. I opened my eyes and to my amazement I was lying back on my “I am ok mum,” I weakly said. Honestly I was angry at my self. I lead my mother to her death and many of those who supported me. I listened to whispers of my brother. After a while my mother and the servants left. I cried endlessly.

Right now I’m only 14. In 2 years I will be sent to war but I would win but act arrogantly thus allowing my brother to sew discord between my allies. There are many things that need to be done. First is prepare for my marriage in 7 months.

Imperial year 492/3/14

The next morning I woke to the bright rays of sunshine.

“Hey worthless Prince hurry up and get up. Your wasting my time.” It’s seems this is the first person who I just discipline. As she continued to speak shit I got out the bed and slapped her. By her expression she thought I was going to let her do that to me.

“Listen here, if you ever speak in that tone I will kill you.” Out of fear she nodded and ran off.

“Caesar come here,” I yelled. Caesar my most trustworthy knight. I have seen in my past life he was willing to die for me. Escort me to my mother’s palace.
