"So, my dear son. What is your opinion about the succession of the Empirical family?" The black haired man asked, turning to a shorter (albeit only by an inch or two) man, said guy having similarly long black hair and icy blue eyes.
"To me, the Empire is like a Garden, my Lord. It depends on the Gardener to care for it." The younger would respond, glancing at some roses in a vase that his father kept on the mahogany desk.
"I believe you should test the two princes in order to determine who we should support" He would add, advising his father to do nothing rash.
"It is as you say my dear child, I shall choose the next Gardener to inherit the throne." The mysterious man would reply.

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
