Valkyrie ? Chapter XI ? Service
Weeks and months flew by. Seraphina immersed herself in the routine of her new life as a Valkyrie. The service was both exhausting and exhilarating, with each day''s service going from dawn till deep into the night, leaving little room for personal freedom or downtime. The days were filled with grueling training sessions, strategic meetings, and long hours standing at the Emperor''s side. Seraphina remained steadfast, her attention never faltering to defend him with unwavering zeal.
The work of the Emperor of Thessia was a relentless whirlwind, a ceaseless torrent of responsibility that carried with it the weight of an entire realm. Seraphina always observed him as he navigated the complexities of governance, a tapestry woven with difficult decisions and heavy choices. Each meeting, a struggle; each decree, a moment of grave consequence. It was no small task: Governors sought favors, Generals awaited orders, and beneath his command, the fates of countless citizens hung in the balance. History was made here every single day.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Seraphina felt the gravity of the Emperor''s role pressing down on her all too often. She was privy to his most confidential conversations and had the task of observing and listening, but she understood the limits that defined her role. She would never dare to judge him or advise him—not without his explicit command to do so.
For Seraphina it quickly became clear that despite the high demands and sacrifices that her own duties entailed, the Emperor had to deal with a whole other dimension of challenges. She was made aware of this during her indoctrination process already, and it was something that felt more and more true every day. Inspired by this, Seraphina began to adapt to the rigors of Valkyrie service, and likewise also to the weight of her heavy plate armor. Both her body and mind grew accustomed to the demands of her new life, relishing in the challenges she faced each day. In addition to her physical and mental adaptation, Seraphina gradually strengthened her bond with the Emperor and her fellow Valkyries further. Their relationship was one built on strict discipline but also mutual respect and love.
Life as a Valkyrie was distant and far different from her former life, a reality that took some time getting used to, no matter how intense her indoctrination and training was. Exhaustion and distress, but also a certain sense of revelation, were common occurrences among new Valkyries, and the Emperor''s men knew that the oath she had taken was not the end of her transformation process—it was only the true beginning.
Seraphina was always focused, living in the current day. Her transformation from a commoner into a Valkyrie was one of immense growth and adaptation. The rigors of her new life had once seemed insurmountable, but with time and determination, she faced each day with renewed strength and resolve.
