Did you drop from the sky?
Prologue
Ancient China Palace-Throne Room [[I dunno wat u call it..the room that the Emperor sits on his throne and all the judges assembles in front of the Emperor]]
Emperor Li was sitting on his throne impatiently, waiting for the messages about the progress of the war. He knew he had to join in the war sooner or later. His mother sat besides him on a separate throne.
"My son, I know you will lead the army to fight this battle. But please be careful! You are my only son, and you know your sisters cannot take over the throne. And I know that their husbands wouldn't be able to do a good job, because they would become power hungry, and fight over the throne. It will cause many complications in the family. This is your right, and no one else's," Queen Yelan stated firmly.
"Yes, I know mother. I will be careful, and make you proud, but most of all I will protect my people," said Emperor Li, with determined eyes.
"I know you would make me proud son, I know you will," whispered the Queen.
"Also, if you successfully win this war- and I know you will- you will have to find a bride or I shall chose a princess for you. There are many princesses, and you can choose the one you most desire. I need grandchildren from my only son."
"I will try but I cannot promise you anything mother, and if you shall excuse me, I shall go to my study room to look over the war plans," the Emperor said rather coldly.
Queen Yelan chose to ignore her son's tone and said, "Yes, you may go, but please remember your promise."
"Like you'll let me forget it," the Emperor muttered.
"Did you say something Xiao Lang?"
"No mother," came the Emperor's reply.
The Emperor bowed before the Queen before leaving. 'All she ever thinks is about me getting married! Doesn't she ever understand that I absolutely detest those snobby idiotic princesses?!' the Emperor thought, as he walked to his study room.
"Wong sern (Emperor/King)," replied the maids and guards in Chinese, as the Emperor walked past.
The Emperor just nodded his head in their direction, and continued to walk to his designated place.
"The Emperor is so handsome," replied one of the maids dreamily.
"Don't let anyone hear you," another scolded. "Your head might be off if anyone else hears you!"
The other pouted and continued her work. The maids wore pretty dresses that were made out of baby blue, baby pink, and other soft colours, depending on what their jobs were. [[You see in Ancient China, the maids that were looking after the Queen sometimes where different coloured clothing. Don't ask me why though. O.o]]
The Emperor never escaped a day without anyone telling him how handsome he is. 'Is looks all they think about?' the Emperor asked himself. He shook his head and walked into his study. The Palace was very out in the open, meaning the walkways were outside. There were many doors on the walls, and there were also many separate buildings.
As the Emperor sat down, he leafed through a pile of thin, fragile, white papers. His table was made of sturdy wood, and there was a throne behind the very big and long table. Covering the table was a gold coloured cloth, with embroidered pictures of dragons, and phoenixes. His table was facing the double doors. The Emperor already planned out everything, and made sure there was 'plan b' and so forth ready.
As the Emperor was about to leave the study room, a soldier burst through the doors. The soldier knelt in front of the Emperor, and told the Emperor the bad news.
"Ok, get the troops ready," ordered the Emperor.
"Yes your majesty," the soldier said and walked- I mean ran out of the room.
The Emperor was already in his battle costume. Metal plate to protect his torso and a helmet for his head, he took off his Emperor's hat thing-to show he was the Emperor-and put on the helmet instead. He grabbed his sword, and went off. As the Emperor was walking to his awaiting horse and men, his mother walked towards him.
Everyone bowed down to Queen Yelan. "You may rise," she said.
"Thank you, your majesty," they all replied.
"Wong a mar (mother)," greets the Emperor.
"Son, please be careful," said the Queen rather worriedly. "No worries mother, I will be careful. I will be back, that I promise," said the Emperor rather confidently.
"Do not be so confident son. Expect the unexpected," she scolded him. [[Doesn't that sound familiar?*^-^*]]
"Yes I won't mother," said the Emperor, sighing. "I should be off now. Take care, mother." The Emperor pecked his mother on the cheek and bowed respectfully.
The Queen held her tears back as she watched her only son went away to end this war. 'Please be ok, and please come back alive my dearest son,' said Yelan, as she walked back to the main palace, as her son and army rode off into the far distance.
