At the center of the Imperial Citadel, a terrifying force of power that oversaw the entire Brightgold Monarchy Realm and the Nexus Galaxy itself lay.
To enter further in towards the center where the enormous archaic castles stood strong, one would have to be granted permission or have a sufficient rank which allowed them to do so, where if you wandered in without permission- you might have your life lost in the span of a few seconds!
Among the many archaic and grand castles in the Central region, in the largest one that shimmered with the colors of green and gold- one woman was walking across one of the many halls with vigor and strength not seen in many beings.
This largest castle was one of the many that a particularly powerful Household of the Imperial Citadel resided in- the Dannicus Household where the Imperial Adjudicator stemmed from!
This was the castle known as the Dannicus Fortress!
Above this archaic castle, one could observe a shimmering illusory flag being portrayed above it, the flag holding the symbol of a golden axe and a green sword crossing in a stellar fashion.
The woman walking within the halls of the Dannicus Fortress was naturally the Imperial Princess herself, Anna Lexalius Dannicus. Her two maids were sent away to prepare a few things as her veiled figure went towards the inner parts of the castle, passing through multiple doors as she took out an Emblem unique to her and shone it on a panel of a particularly large green-gold door, slowly walking through the opening pathway as she entered into a small room.
This room did not have much to boast, but it did have an exquisite table surrounded by six chairs, and the center of the table held a hexagonal dark crystal that shone with an enticing luster!
The moment that Anna entered this room, the dark crystal shone brightly as she pulled out one of the seats and watched as the light transformed into the shape of a strong figure of a man, a being that began to emanate a presence even though he was only being portrayed as an illusory image from this dark crystal!
"My Little Anna…" A strong voice that would have caused the legs of the strongest Generals to tremble rang out with extreme love and affection, looking towards the Imperial Princess with the eyes of a father that were filled with immense love and guilt.
"...Hey Daddy. Where are you now?" A small voice that seemed like it was coming from a being who could not harm even a fly came out of Anna, her veiled head looking towards the figure of her Father, the Imperial Adjudicator!
"I'm in the Sanguine Galaxy right now, just about to finish establishing order across their realms as we get everything operational. Say, which gift do you want when I come back? They have resources that can promote a faster growth rate for both Laws and Traits here, oh and their food is…" The Imperial Adjudicator was looking doting towards his daughter as he spoke, but he was interrupted when she shook her head lightly.
"Daddy, my Trait is already powerful enough as it is and you know I get bored when I comprehend laws. But I did want to work on my Realm…" Anna spoke as she seemed to have slight hesitation.
"Oh, you want to enter the Realm of Black Hole?" An expectant reply came from the illusory image of the Adjudicator as he said these words as if it was the simplest thing in the world!
"Yeah, I wanted to quickly finish forging the required stars and then breakthrough, and I know we took over the Stellar Sky Galaxy that has treasures which easily allow one to forge stars...and I wanted to take a trip there…"
RUMBLE!
"..."
Vibrant waves of power released from just the illusory figure at this moment as complete silence overcame the room!
"...You want to step outside the Galaxy? Anna, just wait a few weeks for me. I'll be back and I can personally take you wherever you want to go-"
"No daddy, I just wanna make a quick trip to grab the resources and I'll be back. You can even send a few experts to accompany me if you're worried."
"..." A stern silence was from the other end as the Adjudicator seemed to be thinking heavily, this simple question making him more thoughtful than when he discussed with Imperial Rulers on their management of Galaxies!
"Please daddy, I've been cooped up in this castle since I was born and only just went out to see our Imperial Citadel. Nothing bad happened here, and now I just wanna explore another Galaxy while upgrading my realm to another stage…" Anna spoke lightly with an imploring gaze as she thought about the incident her father might not have heard yet, her eyes glimmering behind the veil as a sigh could be heard from the illusory figure of the Imperial Adjudicator.
Anna looked expectantly towards it as she waited for an answer, and spoke one last time to erase any more reservations there could be!
"You also know about my Trait, even Black Hole experts have a hard time dealing with me...you know I'll be safe."
Sound words that shockingly could not be denied rang out, the illusory image putting on a thoughtful expression as a strong voice reverberated from it.
"Alright, but only for a few days! You need to be in and out, and multiple Blessed and Law Masters will be escorting you!"
"Yay!" Anna rose triumphantly in her seat as she jumped across the table and made a cute motion to hug the illusory image, hearing a sigh from it as she laughed happily.
"You're the best! I'll let Maya and Raya know and start preparing now! Be safe in the Sanguine Galaxy!"
Her figure bounced out of the room as she seemed to be filled with excitement, leaving behind a sighing father who felt like he was played.
"Hmm." His expression straightened up as he stared around the simple room, sending out essence as it alerted numerous powerful experts in the Dannicus Fortress, numerous commands starting to be sent out.
In another location, the veiled Imperial Princess was walking across the halls of the castle with even more vigor, many thoughts coursing through her as she actually got permission to go out exploring outside of her Galaxy for the first time!
As she planned and prepared, the image of one particularly interesting and confident genius entered her mind as a devilishly cute smile crossed her lips, knowing who she would be taking towards this Stellar Sky Galaxy that held powerful resources to promote the forging of Stars in a Nebula as it created many Black Hole experts!
