The shadows forthwith double as equally long as themselves,the atmosphere dampish and cool smell of the springs cold rain that patters onto the soil ,the sunshine sunk lower in the empyrean until the trees that lines the lane determine as sable statues silhouetted against the darken empyrean, tranquilizing shadows melted forth into the inkiness of nox.
The clattering against my heels were echoing throughout the hallways of the castle, my eyes etched and canvassed the sides of the halls pulling back as I depart by walking towards the afford dinette doubled-doors, hovering over me as they stood tall and wide within length.
With last glance onto the slick marbled floor, I emerge near the ingress of the doubled-doors, heart aligned yet beating exceedingly fast, hands sweating of cold sweat, and with each heart beat, I can hear the vast beats clashing against my ears.
With a deep breath, my chest rising, inhaling the coldness of air that has clashed against my lungs, piercing cold. As I enclosed my hands, gripping onto my other hand as my knuckles developing white.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzr8K5IsZ
I exhaled, thoughts pouring within my mind, setbacks upon dilemmas.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKZC9OZZB

What if Its believable that the Emperor discover another one? How—How will I react? Will it feel heavy onto my chest? How—will I subsist, if she acquired my throne as Empress?
I shook my head as I bit my bottom lip, shaking my head, I closed my eyes leisurely, within the process of clearing my mind of sudden negative thoughts, I inhaled and exhaled breathes, in and out.
I await ahead, where the doors egress. The doors swung open, with maidens onto the side, controlling the heavy central doubled doors.
In sight, each maiden and butler, had bowed their head down in my focus, attaining way as they mould, side by side, a walk way to which I can stride by.
And from the distance, I could visualize the Emperor, his eyes seemingly shift color, either exposed to light nor the dark, and from my perspective, he was dashing in his enduring outfit.
He wasn't wearing his mantle, nor his formal clothing, scarcely his under-tunic that complimented and pressed against his biceps,his enduring tightened pants, his cuffs pulled up, in addition to his exposed collar.
From my perspective, were preferably dashing in mind.

"Empress, you seem swell."
"Ah, of course, you are dashing."
I stood, awaiting for one of the butlers to grab a hold of my chair, pulling it back. Preparing myself onto the burgundy, cushioned designed golden fit chair, where my eyes ogled down to discover the deliciousness of the food that had pose onto the plate, warm and tender.
"How, was your journey to the Eastern part of Endarria."
"The journey was equally adventurous, but to embody myself in the meeting of the Eastern part of Endarria as the empress of the western, render me a somewhat expression of excitement,"
"Ah—I figured, what were you discussing?"
I flicked the fork against the tenderized meat, where my knife had pressed against the seasoning of its juicy part, digging deep down, gashing onto the meat as I sliced a piece to fit against my fork.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJCI7h8T6
jabbing it onto my fork, lifting it up as I ate it.
"The renewal trade stocks, including the renewal laws of the western kingdom's ordeals to prevent enemies from entering inside for good."
"Hm—To draw away from it, how is the sliced tenderized meat?"
My eyes descried up to encounter his cold eyes staring back at my emerald eyes, his interested peaks desired to clue with his curiosity, how did the suggestion of the food taste?
I produced a softened chuckle lifting up the spirits of his heavy feelings.
"Its as delicious as it already is, your recommendations for the chef's expertise, its a good taste."
A sigh of relief slipped out of his mouth, exhaling from his nose.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn9NDJjyiZ
"You believe so?"

We bit into our nibbles of food, clashing and dragging out knives, sticking into the tenderized flesh of the meat, carving it to the point it had separated chunks of meats, that could have fit against the tips of the forks.
And from here on out, the silence, began weighing in the air. But, with each chew, I can hear the whispers of the castle's fellow maidens, that spoke ill about the emperor and I, one by one, began whispering against each other's ears, one out of the other.
A slight jab onto the meat, where our forks screeched along the sides of our plates, this silence had grown worse with each rumor flying along the atmosphere and into the subtle air, then I have beared.
I felt a sudden urge of curiosity to ask questions, including the mistress the others had told me, I gawped down onto my tensed up hands that tightly wrapped around the knife. This is the only time Hera. I let go of the knife, placing down onto the plate, including the fork.
"You told me you discovered a prostitute."
"The prostitute, a run-away from the southern kingdom, where the Duke had preserved as a prostitute,"
"I heard along the lines and within the castle, its your next mistress."
I peeked up from my plate, viewing his eyes trail along my hands, my chest, shoulders, then up towards my facial features, into my emerald eyes, that proceeded staring back at him with curiosity in mind.
"Why would acquiring a mistress, concern you."
His eyes plowed into ice-frigidness, his brows furrowed, his nose squinched, and his jawline, he results tensed up as if his teeth were gripped together, Yet his deepened tone, I drew it as a warning to never tress pass against his territory of thoughts.
I couldn't seem to make him open up, but his tone gave me a sudden cautious Don't ever speak of that again, unless you want something to happen, type of thought, setting down the fork and knife onto the sides of the plate.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYaFcrP3j6

"You wouldn't fetch a prostitute to the castle, unless you own an intention of having her as a mistress, maiden, nor of your assistance, but determining that she hasn't cleaned nor step foot around the castle to properly shine, she must be—"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIG2DXnJ3O

My eyes glued at the left over pieces of food, a shutter formed from my spine, the instance he slammed both of his fist down, growling and grumbling under his breath, he stood upright from his chair, eyes brows upholding furrow, as his feet stomped against the pavement of the marbled floor.
"You know nothing of me."
He stated, his chair scooted outward from the stands of the dining table, where it slid across the floor, in hopes, I should've never asked, but to see what his intentions were, gave me a subtle heavy feeling that pressed against my chest.
"I'm leaving, have a good rest of your evening, 'Empress' "
He said mockingly, as his boots clattered onto the floor, and at this moment, my gut feeling had a right feeling, that had given me a worsen ache within my head. I inhaled the rest of the cold air, pressing my index finger and thumb onto the bridge of my nose.
I could've disliked him more, but it was my fault for stepping into his boundaries.
I thought.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBgqkSjr1

The Sun had sunken deeper into the evening, as the golden rays were disappearing, enclosing into the dead of night, the rustling of trees, twigs cracking against the forests' plains. The howls of wolves into the death of night.
I had an odd gait. It was slightly lurching as I went, perhaps I was leaning too far forwards, it was hard to tell. yet, everytime I had passed a crowd of people within the castle, It had the effect of making me stand out in a crowd, neither in a good way or non.
With each stride I took, I begin reaching into the room where i swung open my door, head withstanding high, with an expression of sadness.
"Your majesty!"
"Why do you appear to be upset?"
I brushed it off, with a smile that coarsed through my lips, my smile lies, but my eyes never do, and from the expression of the maidens, it gave them a feeling of how I had felt, the moment I returned to the room
