You were just the kind of person Rosavette Dandridge would love to have beheaded. But allas, she had respect for the formal setting the two of you sat in.

You were another noble, from another empire─ who had courtly requested a meeting with her. What an idiot you'd been, to even suggest that she should come to you. You ended up at her palace instead. There was no way she'd purposefully go to a place where she didn't have complete and utter power.

"So, I must ask. You have requested my presence why, exactly?"

The empress queried, leaning slightly over the table as you sat opposite of her. She meant business, truly. She wasn't planning to harm you.

Unless, of course, you dare disrespect her in her own empire.
