Drakiania's POV;
The sun was just rising over the horizon, its rising rays of light peeking into my room on the top floor of the Empire's palace. The sky was a lovely hue of pink and orange, a sign of a light shower later on in the day.

Fluffy mist fanned out from the morning cold with each swig of air I took, my eyes drifted from the scenery to the multitude of things I have been gifted with my new position as the Emperor's rumoured favourite. Each accessory added to the weight of the burden that I had to shoulder for this mission.

With one last flourish of my hands, the final barrier had been cast around the room that I was residing in. I let out a light breath, a thing cloud of mist floated up in my vision before disappearing back into thin air. As the shadows in the room gradually receded, I dusted off my uniform and bid the Eight-Edged Assassin, that was perched precariously in the corner of my room, goodbye.

Closing the door behind me gently, I was greeted with sounds of light footsteps at the end of the hall. It was accompanied by hushed whispers among the upper classed maids, the excited discussed something while huddled together. My ear twitched as I decided to start my day off with a little harmless eavesdropping.

"The Lantern Festival is tomorrow, what are you going to perform for the banquet Miss Adrea?"

A crisp, slightly haughty voice followed the question.

"I'm going to dance for the Emperor, of course! And just like the previous Lantern Festival, I am going to win again. This time for sure, I'll make sure His Majesty look at me and who knows, maybe I'll be sitting on that throne beside him soon enough."

A chorus of squeals followed after.

Oh.. its that red haired maid who bothered me at lunchtime the other day... wait. Lantern Festival? Since when were we in the Old World?

The footsteps and chatter grew closer till the source of the noise pollution was in sight. While I was lost in thought about the Old World, the same haughty voice called from across the hallway to me. When I looked up the red head and her posse was already stood in front of me, forming a semicircle around me.

I blinked at the red head blankly, tilting my head to signal that I had no idea what they wanted.

"Miss Adrea asked you what you were going to do for the banquet, was Miss Kia dazing off while being spoken to? That's not very ladylike."

I looked to the right to see a plain looking maid addressing me. She looked like a background character and certainly acted as such.

"Well Adrea, pardon me but I am not sure if I will be doing anything myself. I didn't even know we were going to have a festival so soon."

The chittering posse of background character chimps giggled amongst themselves, whispering words of mockery.

"Well Kia, as the Emperor's Shadow perhaps you do not have to perform for the banquet. You can fulfil your role by being overcast by my shadow, that is your duty is it not?"

She smirked before leading her group away.

I wasn't even going to do anything but since she openly challenged me, I shall kill her at her own game of performing. I'll just think of this as a form of entertainment.
