The Akashi Empire

Emperor of Akasuna

Mellow Secret: You've seen him around, you've heard his name, the one the only

Emperor

Sage Hope!

Now then, for our elusive emperor Tell me about an ordinary object in your palace that holds extraordinary meaning.

An ordinary object? Well, there is quite a lot I must admit, not everything in the palace is grand and special. I do suppose my library would be quite ordinary to others but I treasure it quite dearly. Smaller than the hall of Attainment yet holds information the hall of attainment has yet to carry.

Describe the moment you realized ruling was not the same as leading.

If I must be honest, I've known for a very long time that being a ruler was far more tasking than being a leader. Not only are you responsible for your people but a whole realm, defending that realm, its people, and even those beyond it is a far more weighing task than you might think. It is certainly nothing like being a leader.

What did the throne cost you that no one ever saw?

I fear that is a highly personal question you ask... I will not be answering this. *very well sage <3 *

If your empire were a person, what kind of relationship would you have with it?

I never thought of this, highly amusing. If my empire were a person I believe I'd have a very friendly relationship with it. I care about the empire as though it is my child. It's much like raising a child as well, nurturing the land to be it's better self, making sure it grows to be strong. Not only that but picking it back up when hardships come along.

What part of your legacy do you hope your enemies speak of in private?

It would be foolish of me to wish for no enemies. So if I had one thing I wish them to murmur amongst themselves, it would be that I am not so easy to fall. Any who dare to not face me in their rage or hatred be considered a coward. I do not take lightly stabbing someone in the back.

OOG: They say emperors are lonely. Do you agree? Why or why not?

OOG: I am never alone, with the help of my darling fiancé and my friends. So I feel that saying false, with the right people and the proper company a ruler will never feel alone, it all depends on the kind of ruler they become.

If you could rule as an Emperor, how would you do it?
Mean, authoritative, quick to exile?
Just, wise, slow to judge but firm?
Charming, deceptive, always ten steps ahead?
Brutal, fearless, living for war?
