Chapter 23: The Elven Empress!
Evangeline Greenwood, Empress of the Elves. This name could strike terror into her enemies and adoration into her allies.
Evangeline Greenwood grew up with immense expectations. Born as the only child to the previous Elven Empress, Evangeline was destined to sit upon the Imperial Throne as its only rightful heir.
However, even as the rightful heir to the Imperial Throne, Evangeline still had to go through an immense amount of trials and tribulations to actually sit upon the Throne. Before Evangeline was born, the Elven Empire was a self sustained Empire, but that left it with no real allies. Isolated, many powerful Empires and Clans eyed the Empire and it’s decisions closely, trying to draw close and become allies or manipulate the Elves.
This meant that Evangeline had to navigate the complex realm that was Noble Politics, especially navigating the romantic chases from various Young Masters and even the occassional Young Mistresses from various powerful clans. Not only that, many greedy powerseeking Nobles were planning rebellions, determined to rule over the Elven Empire themselves and kill the Future Empress.
Due to this, every day in the life of Evangeline was a race. A race to perfection. A race to prove herself worthy and take the throne before her various enemies collapsed onto her and killed her. With the immense amount of pressure and responsibilities on her, Evangeline made one of the biggest and most important decisions of her life.
She Ran Away!
Leaving the Elven Empire to pursue her goals. But unlike her daughter who left for irresponsible reasons such as escaping an engagement, and unlike how her daughter didn’t think about the concequences of her actions, Evangeline had thought everything through. Her goal in leaving the Elven Empire was simple, Strength!
Amass Overpowering and Absolute Strength! Absolute Strength to trump over her enemies and dominate them. Absolute strength to defend her Empire and Race in the face of any enemy and etch her name in history as the Strongest Elven Empress since the first.
It was during these travels during her time outside of the Elven Empire that Evangeline met Sapphire Rivelea. Initially, the duo started out as staunch enemies, as both trained and worked tirelessly to prove themselves as the strongest Young Female of the Generation. Yet as time went on, Sapphire’s unreasonable talent and strength combined with her luck led Sapphire to pull away and cement her status.
