The Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2
Fort Nikel
Imperial Heartlands
Portal Chamber
Normal P.O.V
While most of the old forts across the Imperial Province had been re-occupied by the Imperial Legions as part of Hadrian's plan to increase security in the Homeland, Fort Nikel was different due to its location near the Town of Weye, which is located right next to the Bridge to the Capital. It was Expanded and fortified More than most other Forts, and a division of the 9th Legion and Blades were posted there.
So, when the Group from Britain Arrived Through the Portal, they were met with 40 Legionnaires Guarding the Chamber. In front of them was a young woman in her 20s dressed in a mixture of noble clothing and Amour.
"Greetings, Minister Fudge and Guest to Fort Nikel and the Imperial Province. I am Selena Goldfield, Champion of Cyrodiil and Viscountess of Battle-Horn." she paused to hide her disgust at the Minister who was staring at her with lust in his eyes.
"His Imperial Majesty has tasked me with escorting you to the Imperial City. Please follow me and don't Stray; the guards will arrest you immediately. Now, Let's Move."
Walking through the Fortress, the Group could not help But Marvel at the well-built, well-guarded facility. But what made them gasp in wonder was what they saw as soon as they left the Fort, for just in front of them in the middle of Lake Rumare was the Imperial City Itself.
The Metropolis, with 4 million people, was the largest and most populated city in the Empire. The White Gold Tower could be seen from all across Cyrodiil, the jewel of the empire.
"It's just as beautiful as the last time I saw it", Susan said, much too the agreement of serene and amusement of the Viscountess, grabbing her aunt's hand and Dragging her to the Path Leading to the Town of Weye. A few years ago, this town was a small Village, but with the Increasing Wealth and Opportunities in the Capital, the Town Expanded and now had a Permanent Wall and Watchtower with Members of the City-Watch.

"Your Majesty, My lords and ladies, Presenting Minister Cornelius Fudge, Minister For Magic of the Outrelm Nation Of Britain and his Guests" the Herald Announced Loudly to the court I watch Silently as the Group walked across the hall And Kneeled Before The Ruby Throne, now that never ceased to Amuse me The Proud Pureblood's of the Outrelms Bending The Knee to their Betters and Judging From the looks of My Nobles they loved it as well Despite the good relationship I had with Serene and Susan I still did not like the Outrelms to Me it would always be the Place that Allowed dark Lord to Rise Up and kill my Parents.
Giving the rise motion to them, I lean back, resting my head on my chin. "So Minister, you wished to speak to myself and the council Of Mages. Well, here is Arch-Mage Hannibal Traven, Leader of the Imperial Mages Guild. Speak of your Request to him, and should he agree, I will Approve it."
The Minister nodded his head so quickly that I thought he'd break his neck as he started to ramble, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, Arch-Mage. Britain is Hosting the Triwizard Tournament; however, to make it a legitimate Contest, we need to Use the Goblet of Fire."
After about an hour of negotiation The Arch-Mage Agreed it went on to the Minister Inviting me to the World Cup I did have the intention of Saying no, but seeing The Girls faces at the Thought of me Coming to Britain for the first Time In 2 Years I agreed.

Hadrian's P.O.V
Once again, I was back here in the Outrelms in the ancestral home of my Father's Family. But two years of Renovations had made it a True Imperial Fortress.
I allowed Sirius and his Family to stay on the Estate. I was about to sleep when a knock at my door distracted me. Confused, I gave permission to Enter, only to see Serene Looking Worried. "I need your Help," was all she said to me.
Now I was worried about what was going on letting her sit, I asked her. "Serene what's going on that you needed to speak to me in the middle of the night?" The Answer I received made my Dragon Blood Boil in Anger.
"I need your Protection, Hadrian me and Susan are being Harassed By a Boy he's Threatened us Before and now the Headmaster is Trying to Convince Dad to Create a Marriage Contract Between us making us he Slaves in all But Name".
I sat there in complete Shock. How was this possible? Was Sirius really this Blind to what was going on with his family? And what was the headmaster doing? He seemed to have made a complete change in his actions.
"Serene your father is Lord of House Black According to Him it's one of the most powerful Houses in Britain" she shook her head tears now clearly falling from her eyes "That's when Lord Arcturus Black was in charge father is not really good with politics, he's been constantly supporting Albus in Government making our Houses allies Abandon us Its only His Friendship With you that keeps the Others at bay"
I had to do something she and Susan were like Sisters to me I would not allow this little Shit near them But I could not March the Legions into Britain without just cause, it would cause a political nightmare both in Britain and the Empire.
I held her close as she cried into my silk shirt for the next quarter of an hour until she finally calmed down. "Head back to bed, Serene, and get some sleep. Let me deal with this. I have a plan, but it's going to take a few hours. Just be ready, okay?"
She nodded her head and left my chambers. Once the sound of her footsteps disappeared, I began writing letters to various people in the Empire and Britain. If it worked, the boy would not dare try anything against her or her sister, and if he did, well, Drogon was very protective of the girls.
Author's Note: Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter. I will try to upload it as soon as I can, but I make no promises.
Also yes the Imperial city does seem to be overpopulated, I had the idea from a YouTube Channel called Leo Torres.
