The emperor was left on the ground.
Various small wounds with dried blood. One on the eyelid. Various fingers. On his side below the ribs.
As I helped him back to his royal tent, he weakly spoke.
"You and your family are safe. As are the others here. My offer of sacrifice was tested, then judged. She claimed me."
He was weak for several days with bruises that healed quickly.
Sometimes seek my thoughts and opinions on what it took to be a worthy husband.
"In my centuries of life, I knew marriage would be inevitable. I kept all my thoughts on purity. Suppressing even the idea that an angel of her high realm would even consider claiming me."
That day the black winged tenshi lifted the emperor away, I was thankful for the protection.
Dearest daughter, my life is full of years now.
Those first months were wondrous and worrisome. You have been my dearest devotion.
I ask you. Knowing that it will be several centuries for you.
Take the stories I have told you to heart.
Be tender to the husband to claim (when it is time).
Angel girls are a force of nature that men never truly comprehend.
