The Selection

Today is the day, I hope I  get selected I want to take care of my mother forever but I know she will try to get rid of us soon this is my only choice. I have to find a way to have someone powerful protecting me. Even though I don't want to enter the Inperial Palace I'll have to chuckles, life has a way to force you to make choices I guess I'll have to make the best out of it.*knock, knock*A maid walks in, she shouts, You bastard  get up Madam and Master are looking for you. Like they say trouble always come knocking on your door. You put on a dress and fix your hair and add your mother's favourite hairpin you run out of your room and hurriedly check on your Mother and tell her you've made the choice to enter the Imperial Palace, she cries , and then stops and hands you a flute and calls a middle aged lady and she greets her saying your highness she introduces her to me and says I should trust her and she gave Ingrid(my now maid given by her) her zither and she says I should keep it and I should be careful   and not worry about her because the Imperial Palace is unpredictable with one wrong move your world can collapse with you not even knowing what went wrong she said it's just like chess if one important person is killed everyone will perish. She told me to be wary of the Empress Dowager
