"I'll kill you all"
With her memories back, all she wanted was revenge.
"I called the Emperor. You'll soon be handed to the Temple."
Evelyn raised her eyebrow, then gritted her teeth, "why?"
"Of course because you are the Federation's savior," Edward continued to eat the apple slices he cut nonchalantly.
"What the hell are you taking about? Your not serious about that hero thing" Evelyn's voice trembled with anger.
"The oracle is absolute. It is you who will bring about change." Edward responded absentmindedly. He stared at Evelyn as he recited the oracle.
"From darkness, a heroine will arise. Divine guidance will bring her enemies to ruin and her followers absolute justice"
Evelyn's eyes widen. She couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped her lips. Soon though, she broke out into hysterical laughter.
"Wow I didn't know the Federation was religious now. I guess they misplaced their faith because no matter what I'm going to destroy you all."

A couple hours later, Evelyn sat on a couch sipping tea in an empty room. She peacefully sipped on her tea seemingly lost in her thoughts. She wore a massive light blue dress that flowed everywhere. Her hair was tied up but it some loose strands reached her shoulders. Light blush covered her pale face. Her doll like appearance shocked the maids that came into her room.
"You seem well," Edward abruptly entered. His expression was the same even after her shocking announcement.
Instead of responding, Evelyn smiled widely. Her smile was brilliant, but carried an hint of awkwardness.
"Lets go meet the Emperor"
A couple of maids helped Evelyn as she stumbled with her dress unfamiliarly. However, they quickly reached a massive double door. Edward stared at Evelyn and watched her reattempt a smile in the reflection of the polished wooden door. Without a word, they both walked in.

Immediately Edward bowed toward and Emperor. Evelyn hesitated before she followed in a similar manner.
"Rise"
Evelyn glanced at the supposed great Emperor of the Federation. He was an old but strangely youthful man. Anyone could clearly see the wrinkles and blemish of his skin, yet he still had a light glow. His hair was fully white with some yellow streaks. He wore a long golden robe with various jewelry decorating his body. His shoulders remained tall even under the bearing weight of his clothed.
The Emperor's image did not betray Evelyn's imagination in the slightest. Curses ran through her mind as she stared at the overindulgence.
"Are you Evelyn" His voice was monotone, but carried a heavy weight suited for an emperor. The sentence was more of a command rather than a question.
Evelyn simply nodded in response. All her training flew out the window once she gaze into his dull grey eyes. It was impossible for her to smile at the man she swore to slit his throat.
"Yes, your majesty. Why did your majesty call for someone like myself?" Evelyn gritted her teeth as the words flowed out her mouth. Nausea swirled in her stomach.
"I am sure Edward made you aware, but I will repeat it," he glanced at Evelyn with arrogant eyes, "You are to immediately begin training at the Academy." His words fell short in the silent room.
Evelyn couldn't believe her ears. She lowered her head to hide her frown. The Emperor's tone cruelly reminded her of that execution order.
She now knew that this time was far into the future than where she came from, and so the Emperor must not be the same as before. However, for her, those words still rung in her head freshly.
Her body shook silently as she contemplated drawing the nearest sharp object and stabbing his throat.
The Emperor must of took her silence as a response since he kept speaking.
"Your existence is to serve the Federation. It is a great honor not bestowed to many. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations." Without waiting for a response, he got up and left the room. Evelyn stood silently in the same position. After minutes of silence, she broke into another fit of laughter. She turned to Edward and said, "I am thankful for the Federation indeed. I would have gone mad if I didn't have a reason to live."
She began to tore her dress mercilessly. She walked over to the nearest chair and broke the leg off sharply.
"Give me the sword and power that will behead you" She pointed the sharpen tip at Edward.
