    down.” “I wish my parents had lived to see this. They deserved to meet their grandchild.” “I promise you, if we ever get the chance to exact vengeance on the person responsible for their deaths, I will be standing beside you.” “I want to pull the trigger, myself.” “I know, but that is beneath an emperor.” “Vengeance is beneath no one, Drake.” I left the emperor brooding in his office. There had been more than ten attempts on Asta’s life in the years since I had joined the Praetorian Guard. Not to mention the attempts on Robert’s life. They were a regular occurrence. I could feel the threat building. We all knew who was behind the attempts. We just never had the proof needed to accuse her. I knocked politely on the royal bedchamber door. “Enter!” Asta’s voice came drifting through the door. I opened the door and stepped into the room. “Good morning, Asta,” I said to her as she sat in the chair by the fireplace. Then I greeted her favorite lady in waiting, “Good morning, Taziel.” “Good morning, Drake. Are you here to torture me with more details of what I am not allowed to do?” Asta’s voice was full of the exasperation she normally felt. She was nine months pregnant and due to pop any moment. “Good morning, Mister Daemon,” Taziel said, as she blushed. “Taz, could you please get us a pot of tea this morning?” “It would be my delight, your majesty.” When Taziel left the room, Asta looked at me with a smirk. “You should take that young lady up on the offer her blushes make.

She was married now, and had her first child. She had a good life. “She was very special to you, wasn’t she?”, Asta asked softly. “I do not know what you are talking about.” Asta gave me a look that told me I was not fooling her. “Yes, it was only a matter of time. Then I gave her up for my career. I can’t put any woman through that again.” “So you confine yourself to affairs with your subordinates, who, like you, can not get married.” “Ma’am, I would like to think what happens in that part of my life is allowed to stay private.” Asta smiled. “We did let you keep it private. However, Pralla could not keep quiet, and you had a habit of making her scream in her office.” I blushed as I looked away. This made Asta laugh. “Asta, I still miss her. She was a good leader and a wonderful person. I think I am a poor substitute for her.” “We knew about you and we approved. Pralla trusted you and we trusted her. Did you know, to our knowledge you were the only man she trusted enough to give herself to?” I looked up as she spoke. My mind was full of confused thoughts. Had I betrayed another woman and not even known it? Asta looked at me and saw my face as emotions played across it. “Yes, she ...
