Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 - Royal Academy

My Father walks towards me, a big smile on his Face. A smile I have not seen in many years.

"So, you are really the Empress then" He tells me smiling.

"If you wish to call it that." I tell him. Of course there was a Vampiric Empress once. As there Was a Devil and Demons. But those were long long times Ago. In an Age where I ruled the World, as the so called Devil. I was practically Immortal. Until that wretched Hero appeared, I don't know how and why, but he appeared an destroyed everything I have. He then successfully banished me to another World, a World in which Technology reached new Heights, a World in which I learned Empathy and Love, a Feeling I haven't had before. A feeling that will ensure my Rule this time. In this World I saw this Reality as a Video Game and the Vampiric Empress was part of it. Apparently she had Devil Blood inside her, as did The Vampires who had Demon Blood inside them, they probably still do. But they never reached the heights of my Empire. Thus the Empress crumbled and died of old Age, never setting an Heir into the World and letting the Vampiric Empire collapse. A pretty tragic story, or so I thought. But If I think about it, it actually benefits me, because I reunited with my old self and now have all the knowledge and abilities I need to survive and rule this World once again.

But not so fast, I still need to grow, and this time improve my reputation amongst the other races.

Therefore I will decide to go to the Academy of the Human Empire.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Aren't you happy?" He asks me.

"I am happy, but I think I still need to learn more. I think that the Academy is best suited for me." 

"Sure, everything for you, My Empress. But don't you still have something to say?" My Father has quite the Perception it seems.

"Well, I asked myself, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why all this now? And why can't you drink blood? Why did you lie to me back then?" I ask him sincerely.

"You weren't old enough yet, but that's not all. What I said back then was really true, but a few weeks ago, I had a revelation in my Dreams. I saw you on your 11th Birthday, sucking the Blood of a Human. You became more powerful than everybody else and you even became the Empress because of this. As for why we Vampires can't drink Blood anymore, it's rather simple, we married Humans and mixed with them, as a sign that we are part of the Human Empire. We don't need Blood of other living beings anymore. Except for you, you are the Empress you need Blood to survive, which is probably why I had that Bitemarks on my Neck the next morning. But don't worry I'm not mad. You needed this to survive." He chuckles slightly.

"Ahem! If I can get a say in this, I think that you are more than qualified for a normal Academy. I think you should go to the Royal Academy which was recently founded. A place where only the strong ones can go. In this place you'd definitely would learn more than at the normal Academy." My Mother says.

"Alright. I think that this Academy would be better suited then. Please write me in. Oh! And I almost forgot... Thank you, I will always remember what you have done for me till now."

I hope that will satisfy them, while I really plan to thank them, it is still only to get them to stay on my side and be my first supporters as my Parents.

A few Months later, with nothing much happening except for me to remember everything about my Past, I finally started my First Day at the Academy. I let my Maids dress me up one last time for now. And I wore the School Uniform. It looked like it was from a prestigious private High School where only the Rich Students could go. But not only that, as this is a Girls Uniform, it got completed with many different kinds of Jewelry, like a Violet Brooch and Diamond Earrings.

I looked way too stunning, but still fitting of an Empress. (I decided to call myself that, since that day) But now I finally go inside the Huge Academy that almost looks like a Castle to me, it is comparable to Hogwarts and other Magic Schools. One Thing to note is that the Guard aren't Human, they are Orcs. Probably because they are stronger than Humans. As I go through the Gates an past the Guards, I see the Huge Courtyard where all Students and their Class Assignment is listed. There I already see many Students. What I notice, though, is that no other Girl seems to be wearing Earrings. Am I maybe the only one since I'm the Empress. Or is it because My Parents requested it to be so. It doesn't matter right now.

I try to go through the Huge Crowd of people. There are many different Races here: Orcs, Elves, Dark Elves, Humans, Dwarfs, Vampires, Even Mixed Breeds and other Minor Races, like this one Girl that is annoyingly blocking my way. She looks like a Human, but has a Cat Tail and Cat Ears. I try to touch her shoulder to make her notice me. But as I touch her, she shreeks and quickly turns around.

"W-Who are y-you? W-Why d-did y-you t-t-touch m-me?" She asks in a very silent, cute and shy sounding Voice.

"Please Calm down. I am Aurora, I only touched you because I talked to you multiple times but you didn't seemed to react. Oh, by the way, what is your Name?" I ask her.

"O-Oh, that is ok. M-My Name is Camelia, n-nice to meet you." 

"Nice to meet you too." I look at the Board and see both of our names in the same Class. Class 1-C.

"It seems like we are both in the same class. Would you like to go there with me?" I ask her very kindly.

"Y-yes p-please. I-I don't know a-a-anyone he-here, so it would be r-really nice of you." She shyly asks. Probably unknowing to my schemes, maybe I can train and use her as good tool for later.

I proceed to to go to our Class Room on the First floor with Camelia. The Entrance way and the Hallway itself are looking so beautiful and elegant, that I almost walked past the Classroom if Camelia wouldn't have pulled on me.

I open the Door and go inside the Classroom with Camelia.
