Chereads / Queen not Empress / Chapter 4 - Protective brothers

Chapter 4 - Protective brothers

The air grew stiff with a death chill in the air. The emperor's advisors stood quietly in a line in front of the throne. Sweat dripping down their foreheads as they could feel an immense raging heat vibrating from the two princes in front of them.

Their cold eyes glaring down at the poor men. Daring them to say anything.

"Umm... Y-Your majesties-!"

One of them let out a nervous squeal at the end as the fire seemed to intensify.

"What did you say?"Sirius, the crown prince asked as he stood by the Emperor's empty throne. His hand clenching so tightly over the back of the throne. Flinching back the men trembled like small dogs as the prince raised his head coldly staring at them.

"T-The E-Emporer of Soleil E-Empire has fallen and the prince has proclaimed the throne. A-As we-we learned the engagement between the Soleil new Emporer a-and the P-princess C-Celesti has to be completed in order to join the two empires in p-peace."

One of the advisers shuttered out feeling himself age more. He was sure by the end of this he would be grey haired.

"I dare that little emperor to come here and take my precious sister." The second Prince Rigel snared standing besides his brother. The advisors flenched as the prince raised his hand over his sword. The prince was hot-tempered and they feared the war would come.

"Rigel," Sirius spoke out in a calm tone. Hope-filled the advisor's hearts as tears came to their eyes. Only to be shut thrown back down to the freezing waters as they witnessed the crown prince's murderous glare.

"I want his head."

Upon his words, the advisors fell on their knees in fright.

"Y-your majesty!"

"Please!"

"Reconsider!"

"Brothers!" A gentle voice yelled out in the midst of the storm. Shedding a light of hope and salvation in the advisors' hearts. Their teary faces turning full of hope as the throne room doors opened. Entering came to their salvation.

Standing in the doorway, Celesti glanced around the room. Flinching with a look of pity as she caught sight of the poor frightened advisors. Turning her smile dimmed slightly becoming more awkward seeing the cold glares on her brothers' faces.

There they go again.

When both her brothers were in this kind of moods it seemed nothing could bring them out. A cold storm seemed to blow inside the throne room. All the chill coming from both her raging brothers. It wasn't often when it happened but when it did it brought fear to everyone around.

Not wanting to suffer the wrath of Celestia's Shield and sword.

In their natural behavior, they weren't like this. Quite different.

Sirius, her oldest brother who was the more calm thinking type. The strategic brother. His face when he didnt carry a frown on it was gentle. His hair shinning with the royal family's silver hair trademark. His grew out more in a silk soft appearance with bangs that framed his chiseled face. Glowing with a more faint light blue undertone. His hair running down his back loose. Calm silver eyes and fair skin.

Rigel was the more active type. More hot tempered, using his sword and fists to protect his family. Rigel's silver hair was much messier with a faint red undertone. Giving his the look of a wild beast with the mad face he always wore. Stands of his long hair were tied in a low ponytail. His silver eyes held a fire in them with his fair skin slightly more tan from the days of combat practice spent outside.

Both her brothers were like the calm yet raging waters and the scorching fires. Frightening to others but to her they were the only brothers she loved dear.
