I walked out the door past the courtyard. I sat on the drawbridge looking out on a world with no leader… No leader. Sertoff just killed the leader. Does that make him the leader? I stood up and walked back in. “Are you the new emperor?” I watched him closely.
He glanced at Kilji’s dead body, “Yes.”
I smiled, trying to hold back a laugh, but it came roaring out.
Sertoff glanced at me, “Your the Empress.”
I stopped and thought about it, I rule the world. I busted out again.
“You think this is a joke?”
That started me up again.
“Maybe you thought it was a joke to prostitute yourself to Kilji for my death?”
I stopped laughing.
“You’re always talking about my hookers…”
“No, I’m always talking about you being with hookers, oh, never mind.”
“Yeah.”
“Well I wouldn’t have let him, I would have killed him before I did that.”
“So you lied.” his eyes glared at me.
“What’s the difference he’s dead now… You killed him because he was going to kill you.” I waved it off.
“I killed him because of you.” He tossed the throne to the ground, “You think he would have let you kill him? He would have had the soldiers hold you down, he’s knows better than to trust an assassin of all people.”
“How noble of you then.” I rolled my eyes.
