The Real Empress ( Akashi Seijuro x OC )

Time to leave...

Lemonies..... if you do not like it, do not read it :P

The next day Yukki did not go to school. She could not even sleep.

At 9 o'clock am, Yukki got up and went downstairs. She headed to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there was Lena, preparing breakfast.

"Good morning." Yukki quietly greeted, but Lena did not heard her coming, so she jumped up of being scared. "Sorry Lena, I did not want to scare you."

"Oh, madam! No, nothing happened." she sadly smiled.

Yukki clearly noticed Lena's red eyes after the sleepless night.

Lena was crying the whole night. She liked Yukki's father like her own. He helped her and her family a lot.

" Lena I want to apologize for yesterday..."

"No need to apologize. I apologize for my acting. I was unreasonable and I was rude. I could not understand you, but I was thinking the whole night and I am able to understand you now. I was cruel not to think about your feelings first. You lost your father, that is something I can not understand and it does not matter, how much I liked your father. I still have my own father so I can not fully understand what are you going through. But I promise you, I will always be by your side and I will obey every order you will want after me! My Empress." she bowed really low.

Yukki was surprised but then smiled and nodded. " Lena, can I have a request?"

" Of course, My Empress."

" Pack all our belongings, we are coming back to our country. I have to take over the throne. We are going to leave tomorrow at the evening around 9 pm." Yukki ordered and Lena bowed once again in agreement.

" What about your school?" Lena asked.

" I will call them after breakfast."

When Yukki finished her call with school, she had not much to do. She thought about her life in Japan.

It was her only time of freedom. Now she will have a lot of responsibilities as an Empress.

She needs to learn royal manners once again, because she caught the accent of ordinary people. She needs to become even more polite, but fearless and maybe even cruel, because she is coming into an adult's world full of wolves and businessmen. She needs to be a good leader, ruler and Empress in particular.

So she practiced in her room untill the late night.

Then she thought about her friends here. She did not bid her goodbye. Well she can do it tomorrow, but there was one she had the urge to see now.

She run away unnoticed by servants from her house to the Seijuro mansion. She took a cab, so she was quickly there.

She knocked the door. The maid came to open it.

" I am Sakura Yukki. I am Akashi Seijuro-san's classmate and I need something to discuss with him. Would you be so kind and take me to him?" Yukki bowed politely.

The maid bowed in respect too. " Yes, of course."

She took Yukki in front of Seijuro's room, then she has left.

Yukki breathed in.

She knew she looks terrible. Her eyes were swollen and red. She was tired, but she did not care. Right now she needed to feel that someone cares about her. She needed the warmth of human and she thought Seijuro can do this for her. At least for the last time. She told him, one day she will leave him, but she did not expect it to be this early and in the time when their relationship was clearly slowly starting to break down.
