The empress is mine

Yue - Things could get messy.

"Majio Odessa!"

What the!?

Yue was suddenly in my face and i backed away as a reflex.

"I've been calling your name for a couple minutes. My apologizes, but are you okay?" He as well backed away and looked at me dead in the eyes.

I, in turn, walked in front of him, getting him back for earlier, while saying: "Yes Yue I'm fine. I was lost in thought that's all. My apologies as well. You may continue with your point."

Hehe two can play this game. Don't underestimate me Yue!

I wonder why he isn't behind me though.

"Oh okay, although majio Odessa?May i ask where you are heading? You room is this way."

Crap.

That's why.

Two people cannot play this game.

Especially if one is stupid and knows nothing compared to the other.

"Oh." Was all I said.

I just stood there watching him point to my door.

And felt like a complete idiot while staring at him and him staring at me.

Then I bolted inside locking the door.

"Goodnight then advisor Yue and... good game!" I shouted through the door.

I could hear him laughing and feel my neck get red from embarrassment.

"Goodnight to you as well majio Odessa, and good game as you said."
__________________________

Good game indeed majio. You played it well.

I went straight to my bedchambers after attending to the majio and tried to sleep.

The night passed without worry and dreamless sleep as usual though.

But then again how could I sleep when there's a majio in our peaceful castle?

Or how could I say I slept when all I did was stand guard by that Majios balcony?

Not protecting her.

Protecting us.

From her.

"Yue!" I started hearing banging on the door. Are the guards here that early?

"Yes?!" I answered back. Still in bed.

"Your presence has been summoned by his majesty the emperor! Immediately!"

If its immediately it can't be good.

Ah who am I kidding? It's never good.
The bruises prove that.

At least I know what he wants this time.

"I'll be right there!" And with that I heard him leave.

I got ready. Todays outfit was just the empires colors. Like everyday.

Navy Blue and black with a lion in the middle.
