"Find Emperor Kyro!" 339Please respect copyright.PENANAgC8zkXQv1x
339Please respect copyright.PENANApULKg1oURW
A chill ran through their spines the moment they heard the Grand Marshall yell of help. It made them shudder as a freezing cold wind would wake someone, blood ran cold and a bead of sweat dripped down their faces, They bolted and scattered, not one guard would dare sit there helpless not acknowledging of what to do, they rushed excessively scared to even recall.339Please respect copyright.PENANA0N1sDOstp9
339Please respect copyright.PENANA3h8bLk3UyR
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"339Please respect copyright.PENANAqllPm4gxrs
339Please respect copyright.PENANAMrS0J9zZYm
The shouting was fury within the air, a way to take the anger from the Grand Marshall and transfer the tension in all of the guards. He didn't just raise his voice, his muscles tensed and he got mightily in close for maximum impact. After that they would give in, discovering the left behinds of the fur that laid unknowingly near one of the passage ways.339Please respect copyright.PENANANhVHM4FuqE
339Please respect copyright.PENANAIubQeBcACS
Their greasy, graying skin split like tree bark. Wiry black hairs sprouted. Their once kindly colored eyes melted into a heavier, more ruddy color. Their bones maneuvered under his skin like mechanical snakes; audible cracks sliced through the guards. Each shifted into a scruffy hairy beast. 339Please respect copyright.PENANA1RVvaDHAp4
339Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Elbn5SWt
Their bodies managed to spike filled hairs, noses swiveled into snouts, mouths ajar and snarled with huge canines, their clothes ripped into several pieces thinned out with their tensed spines, Claws as long and enormous enough to shed some blood, their hands pivoted into roughed patches of lathered paws.339Please respect copyright.PENANACLaEB9RdYU
339Please respect copyright.PENANA1397oS4rmS
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.339Please respect copyright.PENANAvNQTwrV4Lz
339Please respect copyright.PENANA5OKlGatcrk
Ahead of them, posed a high mighty Alpha, thickened fur filled with inkiness, paws bigger than the rest of the wolves, hair raised within its back, and a piece of its ear sliced, the snout embezzled with scars. A day, had passed since the king hadn't returned since the storm had given a roaring violent weather. 339Please respect copyright.PENANAfp2fzozTOl
339Please respect copyright.PENANAOMHMF1PIFM
Amid the starlight, the ever glow of the moon, that mother of the sky whom spectated over every beating heart, steady and true, They awaited their orders, hoping that as night had fallen, will their intentions run wild.
**
The egg yolk sun poured through the cracks in the blind and awaited entrance into my eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, I hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with a bit of success. 339Please respect copyright.PENANAieyzTUqXVi
339Please respect copyright.PENANAzp1uO5bBme
Endeavor and Beau accompanied by the edges of the bed, as the maidens cleaned the dirt spots bequeathed onto the floor.
Upon waking, I burrowed myself into the warm, soft sheets. I rubbed the remainders of sleep from my eyes and gazed out at the horizon; its vivid light extended across a rosy sky. I supposed this was something the majority of people would consider beautiful, but I found it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in something so every-day. It's not like the sun wouldn't rise, it had, after all, been reliably happening since the beginning of time.
"Your majesty, the Emperor had told me, it is time for you to undergo some breakfast with the emperor once again."339Please respect copyright.PENANA2E9ySvZEMi
339Please respect copyright.PENANAe6FbILW218
Beau had mentioned before clutching the sheets within her hands and pulling it down leisurely, I rolled my head a bit to gaze up towards Beau and Endeavor. perking upright, my hair drooping onto my shoulders.
I face to the left where Beau had stood, but as I rub my eyes to take away the blurred vision of tiredness. I nodded, before inching myself to the edge of the bed, where the maidens had taken their time, getting me prepared for the breakfast.339Please respect copyright.PENANAmdsoKCmLF8
339Please respect copyright.PENANAaPPxgVCzoY
I stood tall whilst my back straightened, I wore the tightened creamy sheets of the silk dress that slipped onto my shoulders, peppering my body with soft, sensual kisses. Like a lover, it seduced the senses and conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing.339Please respect copyright.PENANAiZDrhlb3om
339Please respect copyright.PENANAq2yIfd47o4
my hair, irked back with a slim bun curled within its bottom, The maidens rendered their best to persuade on prepping me with makeup, but to my liking, I insisted I had stayed as a natural beauty.
"You look beautiful, your majesty"
uttered Endeavor, smiling, I could've said I envision myself as the same person, but it would lose some of my confidence.339Please respect copyright.PENANAKOB9jg1rmI
339Please respect copyright.PENANAeBJHYMr3OL
I gave a subtle sigh, where I had smiled, yet the smile is the prettiest thing I've done in a while, for it extends to my eyes and deep within my soul. 339Please respect copyright.PENANAaT8mKcm5O9
339Please respect copyright.PENANAMhLRk83oMW
A knock came, and the door had suddenly swung open, there stood a man that I had either despised nor loved, The figure perked and revealed itself other than hiding behind the gigantic doors. 339Please respect copyright.PENANAeTTHq6dCoB
339Please respect copyright.PENANAg0DYwJg4nQ
"You look lovely as always, Empress."339Please respect copyright.PENANAj00A5v235c
339Please respect copyright.PENANAWhj8SPtYda
His voice hushed against his throat, as if he was hiding his enduring compliments within his folds, I observed his boots tapping against the pavement of the floor, his grimaced face, even when he approaches me, I could feel the subtle hatred protruding out of him.
I gawked an eye to him, where he approached me close as ever, then as his figure had towered before me, another figure stood within its way, Lady Ophelia perched by the door way, her smile, the brightest whilst within the room.339Please respect copyright.PENANAFCKxW7G9NA
339Please respect copyright.PENANA0hjgxHgBsJ
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."339Please respect copyright.PENANA2PfaTaiCqX
339Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGEwu2qx4
I muttered, I glared upwards towards his icy blue eyes, then towards Lady Ophelia's life like amethyst eyes. I could see, their smug expressions hidden away from a mask.
He contorted his lips into an faked, toothy smile, but his cheeks were not so compromising. He could feel their reluctance to be moulded falsely. When I finally averted my gazed his smile fell lifeless, allowing his face to return to its usual cold hard gawk.
"You finally took into consideration of my taste."339Please respect copyright.PENANAymegUj371R
339Please respect copyright.PENANAr7R6xAPf2l
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."339Please respect copyright.PENANAydTpBnnjfi
339Please respect copyright.PENANABCsocloOJv
I bluntly said to him, before his same old faked toothy smile, gleamed from around his face, he pulled out a box from the pockets of his tunic, hiding inside of it, an emerald-like jewel, sacredly resting onto a soft covered cushion.339Please respect copyright.PENANAkFzI1qSA0L
339Please respect copyright.PENANANqlHWRurD3
"How considerate of you."339Please respect copyright.PENANAtTxaN9afbR
339Please respect copyright.PENANAv1s9qzF062
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."339Please respect copyright.PENANAamb1gFkxmx
339Please respect copyright.PENANAy6RGerSizE
He stated, continuing to flash his unruly smile.
I peeked from over his shoulder to figure Lady Ophelia, with the same gleaming facial expression she had whilst entering the room, She proceeded perched at the door, her intentions to discover me take the necklace.339Please respect copyright.PENANALtyXTZq8kC
339Please respect copyright.PENANA7djNaR41L2
"I see, I'll take it."339Please respect copyright.PENANA8g9mrgW7M4
339Please respect copyright.PENANA4xGRkyWq3v
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.339Please respect copyright.PENANAinuvuZ4fS6
339Please respect copyright.PENANAhHt0YFdm1Z
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."339Please respect copyright.PENANAkHU2NPnmpU
339Please respect copyright.PENANAfYnYdAapfp
As i approach the small cushioned box, I focus onto the Emperor before he had left with Lady Ophelia, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.339Please respect copyright.PENANAp84ka7Hdmm
339Please respect copyright.PENANA07dE6LVE81
Had I listened to it correctly? Why had he suddenly uttered my name? He had never done that before, yet to address me as Hera, we hadn't addressed each other of our first names since we were young ins.

The moment I slide into my chair I'm served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sits in ice to keep it chilled. The basket of rolls they set before me would keep me filled. Then, There's an elegant glass of orange juice.
"You're wearing the necklace."339Please respect copyright.PENANAzacAoGweAY
"I am, since it would be quite of a waste to not use it as a gift from Lady Ophelia, and the Emperor to the Empress."339Please respect copyright.PENANAL1YJjDTNlf
"I see."339Please respect copyright.PENANAvuhsGI5LCG
I gingerly cut a fried potatoes and placed the oily chunk in my mouth, with each nibble I took, His eyes traced around my hands.
Yet, from the back of my mind, I couldn't erase the worried expression, The weariness I received every time I think of that wolf, and from the bearing manner from the Emperor, gave a sudden mein of curiosity.339Please respect copyright.PENANAUkEC84A3xp
339Please respect copyright.PENANAVdDHrwtKN4
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."339Please respect copyright.PENANADZPBPhclRS
339Please respect copyright.PENANAUnTrbW3gUC
He gently stabs his fork within the scrambled eggs that were left onto his platter, Then he munched it up with his mouth opening every time he chewed, treating me to a view of the partially masticated eggs. Then he gulped it down and without pausing to breathe he took another swinging bite at the scrambled eggs.339Please respect copyright.PENANAmgyi0kBfQf
339Please respect copyright.PENANANwwLKinPuM
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.339Please respect copyright.PENANA5F1HChqLj1
339Please respect copyright.PENANA66O4RuBwrj
"Ah, Yes."
I stated, before hovering a napkin to my lips, wiping it down.
Each bite I had gulped down within my throat, reminds me of the gashed wound from the wolf, and from those thoughts, I proceeded reflecting within the back of my mind if that wild dog still living, or if they had detected the wolf within the brush I hid him away from.339Please respect copyright.PENANAheiaKXHcDc
339Please respect copyright.PENANA7qOVk6UGpn
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.339Please respect copyright.PENANAXgBbmCyD6z
339Please respect copyright.PENANAfAMMMnqa9W
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 339Please respect copyright.PENANApUhAdbEScD
339Please respect copyright.PENANAq19klrtOfQ
The Emperor leered up at me from his plate, wholly abolished of almost endearingly terminated food. I peered up at him, where my eyes encountered his, in his eyes I could catch he was concerned, for my well-being.339Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmPQZbHrR
A lump caught within my throat, where I couldn't inhale the sweet sensational aroma of the food, without the aroma of blood stained within my senses. The lies over my lips, molded a fake smile, hoping that his mien of oddity was convincing him, I emerge as perfectly fine. I smiled, something within him felt wrong, a little crook over my mouth, driving from deep inside your soul, as a secret never to be spouted.339Please respect copyright.PENANAvnXkFtlA94
339Please respect copyright.PENANAdyVD9yY1ig
"I began feeling bloated, I'll be excusing myself."
Within the half-light of the morning, striding away from the dinette, to where I looked like a shadow, hunched over, turning into a small dot then disappearing within the Emperor's sight, but this time It was my excuse to vamoose, and where the Emperor planted himself onto his cushioned chair, he viewed me depart from him, without uttering a word.339Please respect copyright.PENANAOdjXJGkfYU
339Please respect copyright.PENANAxL4xi0UECp
"Would you like more, your majesty?"339Please respect copyright.PENANA2N8yaB2QXH
questioned one of the butlers, the Emperor held his hand up, ceasing the butler from adding anymore to his platter, he shook his head before erecting himself from his cushioned seat, where he stood upend like a somewhat fool.339Please respect copyright.PENANATDgiREwOxG
339Please respect copyright.PENANAjeVV8HDh8U
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."339Please respect copyright.PENANA4YYilPmfQI
**339Please respect copyright.PENANA3WIqiIlUu0
I had yet to make it to the end of the hallways, where I had met the endearingly Endeavor and Beau, situating themselves side by side forging a pathway, their smiles stretched from ear to ear.339Please respect copyright.PENANAVXKBIMLKwF
339Please respect copyright.PENANAElSotPUnvx
"Welcome back your highness."339Please respect copyright.PENANA5ggapvsLE9
339Please respect copyright.PENANAbVP6ay17Lt
Endeavor uttered, as her and Beau's faithful bow had straightened their back, perching into a 90 degree angle, I returned the subtle bow before plopping onto one of the cushioned sofa, that nestled against the embroiled doubled doors near the roman bath.339Please respect copyright.PENANAmt6SmZ8xkr
339Please respect copyright.PENANAAeclTMqOnS
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"339Please respect copyright.PENANAY86b6k9C6f
"Quiet, it was better than I had presumed."
I press my hands against the scalp of my hair, massaging it, as a figure approached me, with a sack of small little desserts that sweetened the aroma around my senses, the sweetened smell coated the stinging wound's aroma.339Please respect copyright.PENANAZrqaluM4wE
339Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ059nxhoL
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."339Please respect copyright.PENANAibeZI2YJN5
339Please respect copyright.PENANAf0s4ROx5ZZ
She clasps the petite sack of cookies into my hand, as I untie the bow on top of the sack, out came bursting the most freshest scent that filled the whole bedroom, I picked one out, and bit into it, gulping it down as I felt the warmth of chocolate nestle onto the tip of my tongue. 339Please respect copyright.PENANACUYySU1msS
339Please respect copyright.PENANABl23RuqiRq
"These are ravishly delicious."339Please respect copyright.PENANAA1MV9xJYum
339Please respect copyright.PENANA0UVvjQSw6U
I declared, and then a simple idea had traveled within my mind, Whilst gawking an eye out the window, hoping within the brush the wolf had still been there resting, I should feed it with these freshened baked cookies, I stuff the sack of cookies within my gown.339Please respect copyright.PENANAEaXfo1WbnY
339Please respect copyright.PENANA0WgizGiNrX
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"339Please respect copyright.PENANAZaabcOukMw
She heeded, viewing outside the window, compressing both of her hands together gently, then facing towards me, where she inadvertently shrugged with a smile etching within her lips, and from my perspective, I could envision it genuine.339Please respect copyright.PENANAwYz2SLV35p
339Please respect copyright.PENANAQsYyPog4PV
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"339Please respect copyright.PENANA5lM6XQFMuJ
339Please respect copyright.PENANALPhbkhNXUv
I shook my head, as my eyes trail up to hers, crinkled within my smile that gleamed back towards hers.339Please respect copyright.PENANAgunsiXDg9L
339Please respect copyright.PENANAYdoOPkEemG
"I was wondering."339Please respect copyright.PENANAb6wYP8uOVV
