"GUARDS!!!" Hera called out, looking everywhere as she tore her room apart. The guards rushed in as soon as she yelled and she turned to them.
"Was anyone outside my door? Did anyone come here while I was resting?" She demanded, trying to remain calm but unable to.
"No mam. No one," came the reply.
Despite the strength of her voice, the Empress being on edge allowed her to notice the tremble of the woman's voice. While speaking to her was sometimes intimidating, the guards had been with her for years and each of them followed her of their own free will. They were on her side and would have no reason to either lie to her or be afraid of her, unless they had something to hide.
Hera leapt forward without warning, grabbing the woman by the neck and holding her against the wall, lifted her off the ground.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?" Hera's rage was fully unleashed and the blood red queen made her appearance once again, scaring everyone within range.
