The empress sat on her throne, listening to the ministers speaking before her. Over the years, her empire had expanded, and thus there had been the need to appoint people to assist in taking care of her people.
She sat with her back straight, a heavy golden crown seated upon her blue tresses. She listened to the complaints and ideas that they had without speaking. Seated on her lap was a bundle of pink and blue cotton.
The little girl was sleeping peacefully as she almost always did. The empress was rubbing the girl's silky blue hair when she felt a fluctuation in the energy around her. Her eyes fell to a window a few meters away.
Her actions paused and she raised her hand to stop the minister from speaking. The man bowed his head, slightly shivering. A frown fell onto her usually smiling lips. "Oh my. This seems like a bad situation."
