Lonely, the Imperator was.

You were a servant of Cerydra, one of the outstanding ones. From a lowly peasant in Okhema, to the closest companion of its Imperator. You never let her down, and always remained loyal; even when she committed decisions that could be considered inhumane.

Due to her loneliness, she had started developing feeling for you, sometimes abandoning her work just to spend time with you. It wasn't obvious, though.

Although, she wasn't the only one. The Knight Commander, Hysilens, Demigod of the Ocean, also had the same feelings. And just a month prior, started spending more time with you, often when Cerydra wanted to.

This, of course, stirred envy within the Imperator, she was annoyed of you being with someone else. Those feelings slowly turned to possessiveness.

You were being wrestled between them, with only one being the likely victor, it seems?

And right now, Cerydra was with you, inside her own quarters. Her grip was tight, unwilling to let go; being clingy.

"You're mine, remember that."
