*Having been treated the same as trash, you probably think that it is the worst... but how would it feel to be treated like you don't even exist???*
*Sure if your considered trash you would be beaten up pretty badly and have a mental break down or something, but atleast you would be noticed, you might think that you're a mistake, you could also be killed or become lonely not trusting anyone.....*
*Let me tell you something..... It's a lot better to live as a trash than to be living las someone who doesn't exist, although both have some similarities, they could both result to mental issues or make you want to die, but the reason being treated like you don't exist is worse is because..... even death doesn't know you're there, it would just walk past you, not caring if it did something wrong, so it would be the same as Death not wanting you to enter the afterlife.*
*It's the same on how I used to be.... a nobody that no one ever knew existed, I lived my life like how any normal person would..... but somehow people gradually took less and less notice of me..... until everyone finnaly forgot who I even was.*
*I was not considered as a loner because nobody else in this world could practically see me.*
*It's like I'm a ghost around them, no one talked to me much less look at my direction.*
*Every. Single. Day, I wished I would, even for a moment be recognized as someone that exists...*
*But I learned that it was pointless to even dream of such things..... So instead I prayed that some God would come and take my life away, atleast that person would see me and take notice of my presence, that would be the only wish I wanted.*
*But as time gradually passed by I still lived..... and because of that, I came to a conclusion that even the Gods don't know of my existence.*

Remembering how I lost my emotions didn't hit any of my nerves, I just don't care anymore.
Waking up I went to get ready to start what I came to this world for, so after bathing and drying my hair and myself I then wore my clothes.
I wore my undergarments then proceeded to wear my kimono, since in this world it was a bit similar to ancient times...
My kimono had black and white shade as the main color then had magenta flowers that had white tips all around it, while having gold laces as the stems of the flowers.
Looking in the mirror I was satisfied by how I looked so I then went out of the house but not forgetting to wear a geta.
Based on my instincts I knew that what I was wearing right now was not an easy thing to obtain, since what I actually used to create this kimono was of the highest dragon scales. (Don't ask how she did it, just move with the flow~)
And dragons are one of the monsters on top of the food chain, they are extremely arrogant and the strongest amongst them have scales that are *almost* impossible to penetrate.
Well almost..... so if someone were to see me wearing this they'd probably think that they're just imagining things and get back to doing whatever their business was..... well if they can.
When I was out of the house I brought out one of my fans that was made of precious stones that were melted and made into this.
Indicating that this fan is not made for show, but made for war..... literally.
The sides of the fan were sharper than any blade in this world..... how am I sure of that???
I just know.
Luckily for me, my skin is almost impossible to injure... almost because I can injure myself which is very obvious.

Walking around the forest Shira sensed that every time she past by a monster they somehow end up unconscious...
She didn't pay much attention to that but just kept on exploring since she just felt like it.
After walking for awhile she was surprised to see a normal sized castle (in her perspective but it's actually like a castle made for a thousand giants).
She was just about to pass it since it didn't really peek her interest but before she could.... the monsters that she saw before came out of the palace.
Kneeling infront of the lady, cold sweat dropped from their faces because of being in front of an abnormally strong being....
"Business.... Make it short." 'I swear that if they have nothing important to say I'll make sure to detach their heads from their bodies.' Shira thought.
The Azure Dragon that was known to be of the Royal clan stepped forward and spoke....
"Well all of us thought to give Superior an apology gift so we decided on making you a brand new home." The Azure Dragon gestured to the palace behind them.
Raising one eyebrow she glared at them causing the monsters to sweat even more.
"Are you implying that my current home is not up to standards?" Shira's question caused an uproar in the minds of the monsters.
"N-no, we just wanted to give Superior an apology, please don't misunderstand us...." One of the Silver Dragons states.
Then a distant feeling aroused in Shira's heart, it almost felt like sorrow.... sorrow because she greatly misunderstanded a person who only wanted to do something good for her.
She was a stranger to this feeling so for now she just shrugged it off while giving the monsters a nod indicating that she'll accept their gift.
And that is how the most arrogant beings in this world become my subjects as they offered Shira the whole Dark Forest to become her very own empire.
As she didn't want to change the name of the Dark Forest she just kept it the same only it's in a different language.
So Shira named it as..... Σκοτεινό δάσος Empire, and like wildfire the news spread throughout the whole continent, and then will probably be known in no time throughout the whole world.
#Time Skip to 2 Years Later.....#
Time flies by like the wind, it has already been two years since I've stayed in this world..... And I'm proud to announce that I have completely regained my emotions.
Although I'm still icy cold most of the time but I can feel happiness, sadness, jealousy and so on.....
It has all been thanks to my subjects who gave me another chance to truly feel what's it like to be alive, all of them are now extremely loyal, although I doubt that someone would try and backstab me but because my close servants persisted that I should seal a contract with every single being in this 'forest'.... Wait let me rephrase that.....
That I should seal a contract with every single being in this 'kingdom'..... nonono I mean this 'empire', so in the end I did, the punishment if ever this contract is to be broken would make that person feel how it would feel to have your every bone shattered, having you feel that your burning in the inside..... if that isn't cruel enough the process would take atleast a month before killing you, and at the time you won't be able to sleep or even close your eyes to have a short rest.....
I still have my cruelty from back then but I've gradually become softer over the years but I won't let it show.
In this past 2 years my kingdom has been officially recognized as the seventh kingdom here in Τέσσερα(Four) Continent.
Many rulers from other kingdoms not just from this continent but from others aswell tried to be in good terms with me but I just ignored all of them.
"Your Majesty it seems that that *day* has arrived once more." One of my assistants said, he was an elf and is named Ryan.
Not to forget I also allowed other races to become my subjects but only if they are deemed worthy, it's like the monsters had become companions of the different races here in the kingdom.
It's like a contract amongst partners.
"Oh has it? Well then I shall grace them with my presense this year. Go and prepare my royal attire as we shall depart this evening." Ryan nodded and did as I said.
'Oh it would be fun to join a gathering once in awhile so why not try it.'
'*sigh* I pray that those royals will leave alive.' Ryan thought as he exited the throne room to do as Shira said.
Time Skip.... Few Hours Later....
We departed from my kingdom an hour ago leaving Zen my other assistant in charge of it.
As Lola (one of my shadow assasins) had said, the estimated time that we will arrive in Vier Kingdom is about two and a half hours.
You see in each continent the kingdoms will hold a banquet and all the nobles and royals of each kingdom may attend.
And this year the Vier Kingdom is the one who will hold the banquet, and on my case I have not joined the banquet last year since I wasn't interested but since I have nothing to do today I guess I'll go and take a look.

Seeing their Empress's behavior her subordinates couldn't help but hope that the people they will meet would live to see another day.
'Well it's good that I chose to be in her side.' Was the thought they had while giving out a sigh.
¥€¥€¥€¥€¥€
After they finnaly reached the borders of the Vier Kingdom all the guards there immediately opened the gates after seeing the armed men and the seal on the carriage.
Three of the guards went ahead to tell the King and Queen of their arrival.
One thing you need to know, here in this world only Shira's kingdom could be considered as an empire since the land covered by the Dark Forest was as big as one fourth of the continent.
So she is the only royal addressed as Empress instead of Queen...
Also the world as said is similar to the past but every one of them is different, others are like in ancient China or Japan, others are like the past England, and others are like in Egypt.

When the news reached the two rulers their faces's expression immediately turned into happiness but soon turned pale because of one fact.
"Oh no we didn't prepare any place for them to stay at!!!!" The King stated well more like shouted making the Queen and the officials pale even more.
"Hurry and prepare the palace!! We can't waste any more time, the empress will arrive in a few minutes so we have to hurry!!" The King said it all in one breath.
Immediately the officials did as told, even the King and Queen stood up and ran to help with whatever they could.
