“I care. You, you don’t care.” he sat in the center of the steps where the throne used to be. “Come here.”
I glanced at him as he scooted over, I walked over and sat down glancing out the doors. I sighed, “If it wasn’t for all those people on Threshold we could just start over here. I mean because we own the world, not because of…”
“I know what you meant.” he smiled, “Empress.”
I glanced at him and smirked, “And Jamie can be the court jester.”
Sertoff chuckled.
“What are you going to do now that you rule the world, I mean after the war, you’ll be royalty.”
“We’ll be royalty, we’re royalty now.”
“Heh, Duke Jabetto, Duke Daemon. Will we have balls?” I glanced at him.
“It’s customary.” Sertoff watched the outside world.
“Who would have thought a mercenary and an assassin would be rulers.” I then stopped myself. I stood up and walked away from Sertoff, Did power get to my head or did I forget who I was with. “I don’t think this is such a good idea.”
“It’s too late for that now, assassin.” he looked straight into my eyes.
“I just don’t think you should count on me being an Empress after the war, I might not live through it.”
“I’m not letting you die.” he stood up and walked towards me.
And there wasn’t much chance he was going to. “Well, you have to admit, it is a girls dream come true.” I glanced around.
Sertoff placed his arm around me.
I froze at first, then just stood there. “I guess I should get used to it.”
“There’s no way I’m letting go.”
