The empire of hell, a formidable fortress. Domains merged together and ruled under one.
The burning flame, the rising sun. The emperor of hell. The devil himself.
Lucien Morningstar I, current Emperor of hell, was used to being the sole ruler...

The sisters were in the midst of dinner, when a servant came in and announced some news from the emperor.
"His excellency would like for the seven mistresses of sin to reside in the empire for a length of three months, whilst he makes his decision on who to wed."
The sisters were wide eyed with shock. Eness almost choked on the piece of lamb she was eating from the sudden news.
"Tell the emperor that we can't stay in his empire for three months. We have responsibilities in our kingdom that we cannot dismiss because of him." Pranayaa voiced what they were all thinking.
The messenger shook his head in refusal. "I apologise, my ladies, but I am simply here to relay his words. You would have to take your dissatisfaction to the emperor himself."
The sisters sighed and grunted in annoyance. This emperor was already starting to become a pain in the ass.
Sirena waved the messenger off and he left.
The sisters shot looks at each other, but could not discuss what they heard.
There were maids and servants all around the dining hall, all positioned there to assist them. But the sisters knew that wasn't the only reason.
The servants were all loyal to the emperor, so anything they said against him, or accidentally revealed about themselves could be used against them.
They ate in silence and were escorted to their new chambers when they were done.
Eness looked around her chamber. It was spacious and had light touches of gold everywhere.
The bed was bigger than hers back home, and the decorative touches of lamps, throw pillows, and even a chandelier was all too extensive for her taste, but an extensive room in the east wing of the palace was better than having an extensive room in the north wing, where the servants had told her and her sisters the emperor's chamber was.

(Eness' chamber)
Eness didn't know what to feel about the emperor. She didn't loathe him, but she still strongly disliked him.
He acted like an observer when she and her sisters were faced with disrespectful comments from his brothers. For all she knew, he was probably the one that set his brothers up to it.
Her blood boiled at the thought.
She entered the large walk-in closet and picked a night garment out of the many that were already situated in the closet.
There were jewellery sets, dresses and gowns of different shades for any public event, and even some riding breeches and pants for the occasional horse ride.

(Closet 🤩)
The riding outfits were her favourite part.
Sure, she liked the timely indulgence of dresses, skirts, and gowns. They made her feel feminine, considering the fact that she was a male in a past life.
But she liked wearing simple pants and corset shirts more, as they didn't restrict her movement, and were more sustainable during occurrences when she had to get into armour.
She chose a simple silk, pale pink night dress with a matching cloak.

She sat on the window seat outfacing her bedroom.
The chamber window was large and allowed the glow of the gibbous red moon shine through.
Tomorrow, that moon will be full and bright red in all its splendour.
She was gazing at the moon, when she felt a tingle in her heart. Her cerulian gem was activated.
Her mind sprang open, as a message flowed through, a message from Wrenna.
"Meeting in Pranayaa's chambers. Hurry," was all she said.
Eness knew she wasn't the only one who got the message. Their gems were connected, making the passing of messages between themselves possible.
It had always been like that since they were created.
She quickly shot up from her spot and hurriedly left her chamber.
She didn't need to ask for instructions because the closer she got to her sisters, the warmer her gem glowed.
