Author's Notes:Well everyone, this is my first fic. As you can tell this is a fic based around what would have happened if Esther had accepted Ion's offer to live in the empire with him. Well I hope everyone likes it. Happy Reading.

Chapter 1: Prologue

It had been almost one year since Esther had been with Ion. Even now though, she still didn't understand that much about the empire. She sat on her bed and thought about how Father Nightroad had been. She had not talked to him in over three months. She wondered if his stomach was getting the better of his mind. She laid down on her lavish bed. She had always thought this room was way to nice, but Ion would not have it any other way. She dozed off for a while. She was woken up by a loud rapping on the door. It was Ion's personal attendant. "Supper is ready, will you be attending or should I have one of the servants bring supper up to you?" He asked. "I'll be down in a minute Claude." she told the attendant. She went down the stairs into the beautiful dining area. As she took her seat next to Ion, she heard him yelling. "Damn it, I can't believe this. Son of a bitch" Ion yelled. "I'm so sorry your excellency, did I do something that upset you?" Esther asked cowering slightly. "Damn it Esther of course not." He said louder than normal. Esther started to cry. "I'm so sorry your excellency." She said through the tears. He hugged her. "What do you mean sorry, you didn't do anything. If anyone should be sorry it's me. I shouldn't have lashed out my anger at you." He said softly. Asta came bursting through the door. Ion was still hugging Esther and comforting her. He heard Asta start talking "Earl of Memphis, Lady Esther, I hope I'm not interrupting anything. No matter, the empress seeks an immediate meeting with the two of you. I'm your escort, so lets get going." She said in a calm but authoritative voice. Ion helped Esther up out of her chair. "Well then lets not keep the empress waiting then." He told Asta.

Author's Notes: Well how did everyone like the prologue. I know it was kind of short, but I didn't want to give out too much information. I plan on getting the next chapter out later tonight or tomorrow. If you have the time I would love to see review's. But if you are short on time don't worry about it. See you next chapter.
