A regent, and then, a Queen. The dirty game of politics, war, and the lies at court steal away her naivety. A cold hearted Emperor who values nothing, except his sword and his religion. He swears by them. A prophesy- One of them will fall by the hand of the other. What could possibly happen when two monarchs- a Muslim Emperor and a Christian Queen break the status quo and become one? ~ Give the two a chance, and see what two opposite poles and a dangerous prophecy births. *EXCERPT "We have agreed upon the fact that you will never, under any circumstance, interfere in the matters of my state. However, you must understand this too, that I may be your wife, and queen, but I will never be an obedient wife to you." "You will disobey your Emperor? That is treasonous. I could have your head for it." "Well, at least I will go down in history as the only woman brave enough to stand up to your tyranny." He grins, accentuating the scar beneath his right eye. "That wicked tongue of yours is as sharp as my sword, but be careful, now, my Queen, before it becomes your undoing."
