The Imperial Doctor bowed respectfully and exited the room, leaving Napoleon and Ciela alone.
Napoleon reached out, taking Ciela's hands in his. "It seemed that the Goddess wanted me early in heaven."
"Don't you say that!" Ciela chided him though she was not angry with him. "The Goddess huh? That bitch! How come she took you away from me?!"
"Honey…calm down," Napoleon said gently, trying to soothe Ciela's distress. "We have to think about the future dear. I mean, the Empire must keep going forward."
"Forget about the empire, I want you!" Ciela exclaimed desperately. "I can't imagine a life without you. You can't leave me, Napoleon."
