"To what pleasure do I awe this visit?" Emperor Victor grinned at Duke Henry. He was rather surprised that he was getting a visit from Henry when they were talking to each other just a month ago.
Duke Henry smirked. He was going to wipe off that grin from the emperor's face.
" . . . And that is what is going on," Henry informed the emperor of Stella's dream and it wiped off the grin on the emperor's face indeed.
Victor was pale after hearing what Henry had to say. He recalled the war times he had with Henry, the bloody hell that the two of them experienced. The time when their wives were always scared that they might not come back home alive or in one piece. When they were not even sure they would ever see the face of their children ever again.
