"Find Emperor Kyro!" 671Please respect copyright.PENANApCqdZUtAT6
671Please respect copyright.PENANAbESaJN6O21
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAGeHjMRQHxn
671Please respect copyright.PENANAsdrwACBGeF
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"671Please respect copyright.PENANAdBy084QPkQ
671Please respect copyright.PENANAR2JIy0DPgS
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA14nq5fksQ7
671Please respect copyright.PENANAnRmoX1ycWv
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAbEgR1RwPht
671Please respect copyright.PENANAj0yFZ0rC0b
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA1EwRZgirZP
671Please respect copyright.PENANAPMU4184iwa
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.671Please respect copyright.PENANAkS9tdzoJbs
671Please respect copyright.PENANABie5daJnMw
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAfdtmBu3wC2
671Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZV0jVdVr8
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAsNGSoD1MA1
671Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2Ok42n0aJ
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."671Please respect copyright.PENANA8iw14KhiL9
671Please respect copyright.PENANA8gw0r3fPUc
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAShHaUfvr0I
671Please respect copyright.PENANAGAESCj4vK5
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAehwneXVxmt
671Please respect copyright.PENANA2B5CyKbEap
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA3gqDYu6A0l
671Please respect copyright.PENANAsz4O66RXDK
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANA4SgPtGqixl
671Please respect copyright.PENANAgM1BLmCDaF
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAzqndovFuK5
671Please respect copyright.PENANASgCyTEPspy
"You look lovely as always, Empress."671Please respect copyright.PENANATGd2fNdDLV
671Please respect copyright.PENANAS54N10jG0L
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAbwKf4Ppyvc
671Please respect copyright.PENANAkTaf3EYQ9L
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."671Please respect copyright.PENANATZTdubpR22
671Please respect copyright.PENANAv3IImtn6Fs
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."671Please respect copyright.PENANAToGetfKuZL
671Please respect copyright.PENANAUUA2loGG54
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."671Please respect copyright.PENANA2yPDQ1gm1b
671Please respect copyright.PENANAawGK6ckslh
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAxKhAZqNOIf
671Please respect copyright.PENANAFXwSuUcGR9
"How considerate of you."671Please respect copyright.PENANAj6yyWhbZnY
671Please respect copyright.PENANAUs1NfOgDE9
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."671Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDPSJSYCq
671Please respect copyright.PENANAqfjucbX7HY
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA5HTCP0azkM
671Please respect copyright.PENANA0AbzHU1nIm
"I see, I'll take it."671Please respect copyright.PENANAQYtxzOhS5K
671Please respect copyright.PENANAoVU8Wsj4fR
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.671Please respect copyright.PENANApSYyONUAiy
671Please respect copyright.PENANAYUa21ewp4f
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."671Please respect copyright.PENANADpfpiKymct
671Please respect copyright.PENANAQtxaA2m4yf
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAuh7FTeWivk
671Please respect copyright.PENANAOGD2H7ulLc
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."671Please respect copyright.PENANAaoj79eLZre
"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."671Please respect copyright.PENANAFW5vbswmjA
"I see."671Please respect copyright.PENANAgnIICkCwIg
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANALO5vaCizNi
671Please respect copyright.PENANAfyVfkxfY0f
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."671Please respect copyright.PENANAyd2NR6YyAU
671Please respect copyright.PENANAPd5YNHnLFn
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAo4sfKapFY1
671Please respect copyright.PENANAWL9Ct8RWwt
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.671Please respect copyright.PENANAqAwC3oMlqe
671Please respect copyright.PENANAf6A09VOcbr
"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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA789msHNqxg
671Please respect copyright.PENANAi9sUN2frLD
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.671Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFMNhKsZo
671Please respect copyright.PENANACqR6CKVPzV
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 671Please respect copyright.PENANAfD818DwRbl
671Please respect copyright.PENANAX41NrUAzUG
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANANwTIq8HGnU
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAkwZpQkntkN
671Please respect copyright.PENANAL2ClU69oRu
"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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAAiC7bExgt6
671Please respect copyright.PENANAewr27PgVSs
"Would you like more, your majesty?"671Please respect copyright.PENANAAAHr1KQTL6
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAmvBI7gY8Vs
671Please respect copyright.PENANAcQju2xZnbx
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."671Please respect copyright.PENANA4xCDNjYLBC
**671Please respect copyright.PENANAC49e31J12I
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANASKCE7vUIBC
671Please respect copyright.PENANAeY4iGdSaHG
"Welcome back your highness."671Please respect copyright.PENANAyNA1kBdz2C
671Please respect copyright.PENANAlXCwMbGv6k
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANALTOQnumgSy
671Please respect copyright.PENANAxnUbJXJzdj
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"671Please respect copyright.PENANAIXMH75WTcK
"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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAUU5NWfc43c
671Please respect copyright.PENANAzZd3cN56En
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."671Please respect copyright.PENANAAAxyLvX2eX
671Please respect copyright.PENANAWBYoHIjBDr
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAP9gnJ5CKiL
671Please respect copyright.PENANAsDzUqNH3CW
"These are ravishly delicious."671Please respect copyright.PENANArTChHZB83K
671Please respect copyright.PENANAZLtStieXQQ
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAm2FoPNTPvF
671Please respect copyright.PENANAGM8S9e3hsW
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"671Please respect copyright.PENANAxcqqiX5zYN
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANAzxY00rChqM
671Please respect copyright.PENANAmOuPbUoQDU
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"671Please respect copyright.PENANAs6A7zs2ckG
671Please respect copyright.PENANAted2AQdF7m
I shook my head, as my eyes trail up to hers, crinkled within my smile that gleamed back towards hers.671Please respect copyright.PENANApKJDNl2BRO
671Please respect copyright.PENANAbzQWjuZIG9
"I was wondering."671Please respect copyright.PENANA1h2ptVhrVv
