Chapter 5 - The Emperor

"Huh?" where the hell is that?" she furrowed her her eyebrows in confusion. "And those people why did they put me on trail and exactly why would I be executed right after?" turning uppity almost at once she began to question the guard. You really have memory loss don't you?" he squinted and bowed to get a closer look at her face."What makes you say that?" she retorted. "Well for one you seem not to know what you've done at all, you keep saying weird stuff and besides the Great Lorianne would never lower herself to converse with a 'mere guard' much less act so feisty" he analysed.

"That's exactly what I've been trying to say. I'm not the woman you're after, you've got the wrong person and I would like to speak to the person in charge of this ridiculous operation." she spat out in a single breath. So many questions were running through her her mind and the only person who could clarify everything would be the leader.

"Well you did meet him earlier, the Emperor." wide-eyed she gasped. "Don't tell me...Is it the guy with the uhm... peculiar eyes?" horror spread through her at her own question. "Yes, well he's not exactly the Emperor until the coronation ceremony but he's the one in charge of your case." he offered her a polite smile. Oh no! If that guy was the leader here he wouldn't be as easy to convince as the guard, only a miracle could save her now. "Look, that man was talking about something, he referred to that thing as 'it' and seems to think its in my possession. Do you know what he maybe referring to." she questioned deep in thought.

"Ah, the Jewel of Terraverde. You...well, Lorianne somehow managed to make the Late Emperor strip it of the Late Empress and gift it to her instead, for some reason the Emperor wants it so bad and he's sure you have it hidden away." he explained patiently.

"I've got an idea on how to get out of here but I'll need your help, please l just want to get back home."
