"Yes, and I don't care about a title . Let us be honest, I have seen how court works, the troubles between queens and Empress . I will be quite happy as a Princess instead . " Kyera replied and the Empress Eve looked away . She couldn't rebuke her, afterall, there were many days she wished she could go back to being his Princess again, before he won the Heir trials . When they had been in love . Yet Kyera continued . "However, should be become Emperor and I his Empress I will do my best to control the Harem early on and ensure there is harmony for the families . Though I will be supportive and fair I will not allow a snake to bite my heel . " Kyera explained and both women smiled . At least the child was aware of the dangers she could face . That calmed both of them .

"Do you think you can balance that and a Empress's work load?" Eve asked, honestly concerned . This had indeed been her downfall . Kyera thought for a while as to a answer here .

"Well, I can not be sure of that . I have never had to do so before obviously . Perhaps I could shadow you for a few days and learn how you manage? This will give me a chance to learn at your side . " Kyera replied, having found this question trickey . She had to come out without sounding arrogant or lacking confidence . There were very few ways to answer well .

"I would be happy to teach you . " Empress Eve replied and Kyera nodded at her . Her expression was obviously pleased with Kyera's efforts . The answer both recognized her status and showed a willingness to learn . It was a humble perfection she hadn't seen in many other women this age .

"Thank you, your grace . I will do my best to be a good student . " Kyera assured her and Empress Eve couldn't help but smile . Kyera bowed her head to her in thanks .

"Raina is a beautiful girl and we love her dearly this has no bearing on that . My next question is simple, does your family have a fertile line?" the Empress dowager asked rather carefully . Kyera had yet to mention a mother and Shaman Halfeye had not mentioned it either .

"Shaman Half eye adopted me, he is not my father . My Mother left when I was little but, there were Five of us children . My four elder brothers, and myself . " Kyera answered honestly, she looked away ashamed of the truth, but knowing she had to bring it to light . It wasn't a secret among the forest folk and people talked . With her people living nearby there was a chance it would be brought up .

"I see . Your four brothers, what do they do? Are they knights?" The Empress Dowager pressed . Eve went to stop her but the question was already out there . Those mournful golden eyes met hers as Kyera straightened in her seat .

"My brothers were murdered in their beds by a traitor . I was almost kidnapped, but my eldest brother gave his life to protect me . The others never even woke up . " Kyera explained her eyes cold as she tried to restrain the feelings she felt . The look on the Empress and the Dowager's faces were sad and filled with pity . "I was barely over ten when it happened, but I still smell the blood and remember being so helpless to protect my family . I trained tirelessly from then, making sure no matter what is thrown at me, nothing will take my family away ever again . Clovis and Raina will never face a danger alone . " Kyera reassured them, letting her determination peak through .

"I see dear, I am sorry . " The Empress Dowager agreed, seeming rather pleased herself . She liked Kyera's answers and felt her pain . A good Empress should know loss . However, she wasn't cruel enough to keep asking questions now . "Empress you and I should retire to the gardens for some fresh air and rest . Good day, Lady Kyera . " The Empress Dowager bid moving to push the Empress' chair . Kyera chuckled .

"Let me accompany you . I would much like to see your garden . " Kyera offered taking the wheelchair chair from the Empress Dowager . Surprised, but pleased they allowed Kyera to navigate the Empress to the Dowager's garden .
