The Emperor [EDITING]

18

KAISER

       Madness.

       Does my little angel know what madness means?

       The purest and most ultime state of chaos.

The Empire was built on madness, I rule it with madness, I orchestrate it with chaos.

       She and I are madness, she said it herself. My angel doesn't lie, she's very bad at it anyway, so I believe her. Of course she would describe us as madness. She would also deny that there is even an us in the first place. But she had never been good at admitting the truth to herself.

         My angel of chaos.

         What did I do in this world to deserve Adeline?
         Nothing.

         She fell right into the palms of my hands, I didn't have to lift a finger. It is harder to keep her by my side than to have her in the first place but still, she was always meant to be mine.

        It doesn't matter what she says or what she doesn't, what she believes or what she doesn't believe. Adeline can't run away from me. She can try and hide in the unknown parts of the ocean, I'll still find her.

        It's actually quite ridiculous how easy it is to have her in my grasp, she's a bit naive and a bit too trusting. Why would she accept water from the man who almost choked the life out of her and terrorized her all in ten minutes? Azrael might be a tad more unpredictable than the rest of them but he does know how to follow an order. Asking him to give a glass of water to my angel was the easiest task at hand, and now she's passed out.

       She collapsed right after telling me that what we are is madness, or perhaps she only meant what I am, either way, she's deep asleep and can't defend her idea.

       My girl is down, so is Alexander's.

       I must say, I did go a bit far on my attack against Dawn, but the bitch spits on me and expects some mercy? No, it doesn't work that way.

       Alexander and I agreed on an arrangement of what will be done to her as punishment. Five days in the cabin, in the middle of the woods, somewhere only Xander, Azrael and I know the way. She'll be all alone with her thoughts. Socially isolated, no one will speak to her, no one will hear her, no one will think of her. She'll be nothing for five days.

"You have to stop drugging her." Alexander growls, watching Thirty-Four cleaning the mess I caused. I caress Adeline's hair, I undid the braid as soon as she was asleep. I prefer her hair down, I'll never let her cut it. They tell a story, she might not remember it for now, but I'm a part of it. I can't let her cut our story off.

"Don't tell me what to do with what's mine." I hiss in return, pulling a cover over my angel. Drugging her is the most efficient way to calm her panic, otherwise she'll just spiral and go absolutely manic. I find it hot, even though I know she hates it. The drugs force her to shut up and relax, which she can't usually do.

"She isn't an object, Kai. She's a person. A person with feelings, emotions and a fucking stomach that'll make her throw up when she wakes up from you drugging her."
