The Czar's Apprentice

Chapter Twelve - May God Bless

He was shaking or something, it worried her as she was throwing a fresh clean shirt of his bare chest.

"You need to sleep... no doubt the media will be swarming all over here and you'll have to release an office statement " Rey said as she walked to the window and pulled the curtain .

"I don't feel sorry" he said.

"What?" Rey asked as she began to fix the pillows on his side of their bed .

"I don't feel sorry for killing him... I don't regret taking his life ... I don't feel bad for taking his life... I know he wouldn't have if he would have gotten to you... "

"You need to rest..." Rey said pushing him down to the bed and throwing the blankets over him.

"You know ... he was dying , and his face ... he asked me why..."

"Kylo sleep now " she demanded her husband , the new Czar .

"I said ... why not "

"Go to bed !" Rey shouted .

"And you know what Reyhanne ? I'd kill him again ... and again ... and again ... I'd kill him three times , I'd have someone rape him three times ... I would have someone beat him three times ... to avenge my other wives ... they were good woman Rey... people who could have been a gold empress ..."

"Please go to bed" she said as she crawled into bed and turned her light off.

"I watched his soul escape his body... I watched his eyes turn back ... I watched the blood pour from his chest..."

"Stop..." Rey said and turned to face her back to him.

"And you know something Rey ... if he would have killed you... I would have never married again... I would leave him without an heir ... he would grow angry but I wouldn't care ... I've lost to many companions go him... I won't loose you too"

The morning drew in , she was yawning and stretching . She saw her bedside table , where his pistol was locked away .

He was still sleeping , she could hear his soft snores .

Rey walked to the window of their bedroom , she saw the streets of Naboo , people where cheering and laughing .

She realized, even if someone found out , people wouldn't kill Kylo , they would praise him...

"They're burying him today ... we must get ready" he said popping up behind her .

"I don't feel well..." she lied and walked to fire to throw kindling in.

"You were fine last night... you slept fine ... you didn't have a fever ... "

"I just don't feel good okay?!" Rey said.

"You need to come ... you are the empress ... it is your duty ..."

"I'm not going ... I don't feel well-"

"Rey... people will think things if you don't come ... you're going a and that's final " he said walking off to grab a suit.

Rey rolled her eyes and looked out the window again. Her new citizens were celebrating the death of their former emperor.

They were both in all black , no crowns or whatever . Fine black clothing at the royal cemetery.

His hands were wrapped in black leather while hers were in black cloth .

He wore a thick fur around his shoulders and second coat and Rey's jacket was buttoned all the way to the top .

She had on a black veil around her hair , much like she did on her wedding day although this time her face was visible .

Kylo said his words about Snoke , making Snoke to be some wonderful father ... she figured she'd play that card too.

He helped her get up from her seat . "Late Emperor Snoke" she began "he was one of the wisest souls I've ever know ... he had a dream to do good ... he treated my husband and I as children that he never had... may god bless and protect the Czar... and keep him save" she said and then walked back to her seat.

The funeral went on , sadness around the guests but Kylo wore a mask, in fact if so many people weren't going to be around he would have smiled as the lowered Snoke's body into the ground.
