Link was made Emperor and he decided that he wants to interview me publicly. I exposed a few things that he left out and he apologized profusely saying he was hoping to avoid any unpleasantries. He asked for Sasha and I changed myself and he had a very weird look on his face. I gave him a once over and walked away. Oleg asked me what my opinion was and I said that he would make a fine uncle had my mom not been an only child. Soren chuckled, "I see your humor has improved" I recalled, "My mom would disagree with you. I remember ordering take out one evening when I was an actual young girl. The food was so terrible I called nine one one. The operator asked me if I was ok and I said that I was robbed" While Soren was frozen trying to come up with a retort Roland and Igor demanded visuals so I showed them the moment and they wholeheartedly agreed that my sense of humor was amazing then than it is now. Kuze asked me how I felt about the Emperor. I said that I declared the Emperor as my uncle. He is officially a no-no till death. I don't want him in any shape or form. The only thing I need from him to do is rule the people with justice and humility. If he can do that I am ok with him. Kuze smiled and passed the message to the entire building. The emperor was displeased but he had no choice. Once a title was given by the Alphas there is no going back.
The lunar ball came and he asked me if it was possible to dance but I told him that I am not interested. He reminded me that he's my emperor so I must do as told but I reminded him that those who dance at the Luna ball are engaged and I had declared him my uncle publicly which means he is not allowed within twenty feet of me during this event. The man gave me the look of death as he stormed off to find a different date. He kept staring at me but I ignored him as a rule. I happily asked Oleg to dance with me and he held on to me like his life depended on it. Link stared at us with a look of contempt but could do nothing. After the dance he asked very politely why I danced with my bodyguard and I replied, "Because Oleg is the type of man I would consider husband material. So dancing with him was natural." Link asked that the council move Oleg elsewhere because his judgement may get clouded and my safety may be compromised. I laughed at the ridiculous idea and the council concurred. Some of their family members are married to their security and none have been compromised yet.
The emperor was adamant about removing my bodyguard but as long as I say otherwise he has no say in the matter. He tried several different methods but ultimately was warned to mind his own business. Since I declared him as my uncle he had no right to choose my security in any way shape or form. He tried to have the uncle title removed but unfortunately it was permanent. He asked very politely why he can't be a contender for my affection. I threw up in my mouth. Oleg pursed his lips and so did the others. I asked him, "You don't have the appearance, the accent or grit. You are fit to be king but not my spouse. I want a man who has substance. I love fighters. They are brutally honest and have a great sense of humor." He asked me if his appearance wasn't sexy and I said yes. He said that I shouldn't be one sided like the vampires and I said that my precious companion was a werewolf. So he better watch his language or he is going to be in trouble. He asked for clarification. I said that I am not issuing a death threat. I am simply saying that if he keeps pushing people's buttons then he will be evicted from the throne and made a common citizen again. He said that the same could happen to me. The council protested. I am descended from the originals he was here by word of mouth. He has nothing while I have many things. So I am permanent while lately the jury is out on him. He gave a resigned look and understood that it was time to shut up.
The next week he was in the hall of records looking for ways to remove me from throne contention or have Oleg evicted. He found none so he had a permanent scowl face. He asked around for support but all he got was an earful of excuses. He was livid that he couldn't separate us. He called everyone and everything useless. One day Oleg and I were having a mental conversation. Link was walking by and he thought that our behavior was peculiar. One of the Pretorian guards explained that Oleg and I were mentally synchronized. He wanted to know how it was done and what can be done to dismantle it. He was told practically the entire building to mind his own business. The man went full monster and started to hurl stuff all over. I simply decided to board the bullet train and leave for Luna. I was about to when Link decided to take matters into his own hands. He lunged forward with a knife. I simply stepped sideways. The man kept swinging and I had to pull my bodyguard out of the way. I screamed for support and the entire building poured into the platform. The council deemed no longer emperor and the guards pounced on him like he was a crash test dummy.
The werewolves were so ashamed that they asked me to take a seat as they needed to reassess the situation before their turn to reign. I told them that I was the one who said Link should be emperor. I said it because I was told that he is an honest man. Right now that is exactly what we needed. I made the wrong choice. The werewolves forgave me. One of them asked me, "What do you see when you look at us?" I reply, "I see hard working, honest ones that are fearless and family oriented." The unanimous consent was to make me the next empress. I was taken to the lotus chamber. Where I was decked up and ready to go I took a moment to figure out how I was going to explain the change of ruler. It turns out the assault was broadcast to the entire city. I had to sign a few documents and was sworn in. This is going to be one huge mess to clean up. I wondered how I was going to help when Excalibur called for help. Oleg chuckled, "You are a queen so you have nothing to worry about." I chuckled, "A leader is a servant to her people. When the very safety of humanity is pushed to the limit being more than human feels like a necessity. But then again that's just my point of view." Roland contradicted in the typical Roland fashion. I shook my head as I looked forward to a peaceful night. Deep inside I wished that I could convince everyone to just kill these things and spread out the globe and enjoy their life.
