A story from the passed

Akemio made her way downstairs to the dinning room passing many guards in the corridor. Akemio stoped and turned round to look behind her, it seemed that the rota of the guards had been changed. Akemio reached the dinning room doors to see Ryan and Takano standing by the doors to the dining room. Akemio had known these two guards for a long time. "Morning Ryan, Takano your usually outside on guard". Ryan, the tall blond haired guard smiled at Akemio meeting her gaze with his green eyes "morning your highness, his majesty changed the rota early this morning so me and Takano we're placed here". Ryan glanced over at the tall quiet guard with black hair and brown eyes. Takano bowed respectful, "that is correct your highness". Takano gave a gentle smile at Akemio and opened the dining room doors, "your breakfast is served your highness". Akemio walked through the doors "thank you, we will have a chat later alright". Ryan and Takano nodded "sure will highness".

The dining room doors closed behind Akemio and she joined her mother and farther at the dinning room table. King Itoya looked up to Akemio as she walked in "morning Princess Akemio". Akemio gave a respectful bow to her farther and mother before sitting across from them, "Morning farther". King Itoya watched his daughter, "Akemio I need to talk to you about something". Akemio looked up from eating her toast "mother said something like that". King Itoya placed his spoon down and stood up. He walked towards the large windows in the dining room that looked out upon the castle gardens and cleared his throat before begining to speak. "Princess Akemio Jazmine Renai I have made the decision to asign a High Lord knight to become your protector from today". Akemio stood up in shock at her farther "your joking right". King Itoya gave a small sigh, he knew his daughter to well, he knew this would be how she would react towards his decision.

Akemio shook her head, "No I don't need one farther and you know it, besides there is no one in this kingdom that is as good as I am, besides why would the High Lady Knight of Alias need a protector its silly, I refuse, I don't need one". King Itoya turned round to face his daughters angry face before walking over to her and placing a hand on her head. "I knew you we're going to refuse from the begining Akemio". Akemio felt annoyed if he had known, then why had he mentioned it in the first place. King Itoya removed his hand from his daughters head as he straightened up and looked down at his only daughter his aura changed and Akemio felt over powered. "As King of the Alias Empire and your farther Akemio, you will accept having a High Lord Knight as your protector, it is an order as King of Alias". Akemio felt irritated seriously her farther had never used his title before on her. "If you do not follow the order I have given and refuse to accept my decision for you then you will be stopped from attending the Academy and will have one of the guards watching your every move Akemio".

Akemio felt anger bubbling to the surface as her farther gave her the order, and pretty much told her what the punishment would be if she refused again. "Farther I am an, A Class Lady knight of the Academy and also the strongest High Lady knight of the Empire, I don't understand why only now are you assigning me a High Lord Knight as my protector when I can defend myself". King Itoya looked at his daughter calmly. "I am aware of that Akemio but your not just the High Lady Knight of Alias Empire are you, your also the Princess of Alias and the next ruler of the Empire also... " King Itoya glanced over at Queen Mai who nodded towards him "what is it farther" Akemio watched her parents looking from one another and then at her.

King Itoya took his seat at the dinning room table, "your ability Akemio, I figured out what it could be". Akemio held her palm up as a familiar tingle spread through her arm to the palm of her hand, a purple flame glowed and lit up in the centre of her palm. King Itoya took Akemios hand and nodded as he folded her hand back up in a fist. "That Akemio I believe is one of the Alias Empire flames which is a great ability to have and comes with a great responsibility". Akemio looked at her farther "what do you mean". King Itoya squeezed his daughters hand, "listen, a long time ago there was two royal siblings they we're twins, Prince Malik Renai and Princess Jazmine Renai". Akemio listened to King Itoya and remembered reading a book in the castle library about the rein of King Malik Renai and the kings twin sister Princess Jazmine.

"The king and queen at the time payed alot more attention to their son Prince Malik as he was the next ruler of Alias therefore Princess Jazmine spent most of the time on her own, the problem had been going on scince the twin siblings had been young children so the Princess grew up on her own most of the time". Akemio felt a little confused "how has this anything to do with my abilities". King Itoya lifted his hand up to silence Akemio.

"Back then there was a power called the Alias Flame and Sword that only Alias Empire had and it protected Alias. Princess Jazmine heard of the power and wanted nothing more than to take her brother off the throne and let him see what it had been like growing up in the shadows". It was the first time Akemio had heard of this version of the story. "The only problem was that if the Flame and sword we're used for selfish gain Alias would become nothing more than ash, Princess Jazmine didn't know the consequence of the power so when her brother Prince Malik became King, he heard of what she had planned to do, he had no choice but to deal with his sister on his own. He sent there cousin who was the leader of the Empire Knights and warriors at the time, to search for the Flame and Sword before his sister found them first". Akemios eyes widened as her farther neared the end of the story.

King Itoya looked at Akemio. "The Flame and Sword we're indeed found and a scroll was sent to the castle enclosing a note and clues to find the Flame and Sword. That scroll is now under the protection of the royal family of Alias here in the castle". Akemios eyes widened no way, she thought the scroll had been a legend. "Akemio if I'me right about your abilities being part of the Alias Flame and anyone was to find out you would be in serious danger, that's why I'me assigning you a High Lord Knight to protect you". Akemio stood up looking at her farther "I've had the ability of the flame scince I was young farther and no one knows about it, I've had no problems with keeping it hidden either". King Itoya held his hand up to silence Akemio again, "I've made my decision its up to you to accept it, your High Lord Knight protector will be hear today and you will meet him properly tonight". Akemio glared at her farther as he moved away from the table and headed towards the dining room door "that's enough for now if you don't get going your going to be late into the Academy".

Akemio pushed her chair in "Mother I'me not happy about this at all". Queen Mai walked round the table to Akemio and kissed her on the cheek, "I know hunny but as king he has given an official order, there isn't anything you can do and neither can I even though I'me his wife, but your farther does have a point hunny remember that, he loves you and wants you safe". Queen Mai watched as Akemio walked towards the doors and smiled to herself, it was amazing how much farther and daughter we're so alike. Akemio headed out the dining room she knew her farther had his reasons but she still felt unhappy about the whole thing. Akemio walked out to the front of the castle and climbed in the sleek black and silver car that awaited her. The car drove out the drive, and through the gates at the entrance of the castle walls, Akemio felt relieved as she left the castle and headed to the Academy.
