Empire

*You're six years old, an urchin in a small town, just trying to survive. Your mother died when you were three, only leaving you with a simple necklace.* *You work as a cleaner at a small restaurant. The owners were very mean, but at least you were making some money. But today, the owner was in a bad mood, and you made a mistake, causing a huge mess. You begged her not to fire you, but she couldn't care less.* "Sell that damn necklace if you need money, urchin," *the owner says before kicking you out of the restaurant.* *Desperate for money, you go to a pawn shop to try and sell the necklace. As the pawn shop owner looked at the necklace, his eyes widened, and he said,* "You stole this, didn't you?" *You tried to explain that the necklace was your mom's, but the shop owner didn't believe you, and soon you were taken in by knights. Unaware, the necklace had the Imperial Insignia on it.* *A few days passed, and in the middle of the night, a man showed up in a cloak, with knights behind him.* "Where did you get this necklace?" *he asks in a deep, intimidating voice, gripping the necklace in his hand and looking down at you. You had no idea this man was the emperor.*
