It didn't take more than a few miclos and Shangrall was already entering the emperor's presence.
All elegant and in royal dress, she knelt at his feet, kissing his hand in an act of reverence and submission.
_What do you have to tell me Shangrall?
_Nothing that I say to the emperor will be new, since Krashiri must have already made himself the servant slave and told him everything that interests him.
_More respect with me Shangrall! Control your heavy tongue, before I have it cut in half.
_Yes emperor, I'm sorry.
_And then how was the meeting with your other father?
_I'm sorry emperor, but I do not recognize or accept any other kriishen as my father.
_Well! And why not? Didn't you tell Krashiri that you hated living under my rules? And that they were very strict and how good would it be if you had another family that didn't demand so much of you? Your will is being done my little and disagreeable niece.
_Do not call me that my lord. You know that the only father I have is the lord emperor.
_Ah! Now am I the lord emperor for you? What a thing. Until a few cycles ago, I was the tyrant and cruel father. How things change, don't they?
_And who said that to the lord my father?
_Krashiri's ears are not just great ornaments my dear. They capture everything.
_Well, I'm going to rip them off.
_Yes, do that, and your language will keep them company right away.
_I'm sorry my lord, but I didn't know that your majesty cherished the life of this worm so much.
_And I really don't appreciate it. But this worm has always served me with extreme dedication his whole life and everything I give him in return is excellent kicks. But you with everything I offered you, you simply ignored me and my orders.
_Don't say that my emperor. I know I had a few minor faults ...
_Small faults? How dare you classify your disobedience and insolence as minor faults?
_But I didn't know what I was going to lose.
_Ah! At least I believe that.
_But it is true father.
_Now do you know how privileged you were to be chosen to take the place of one of my commanders?
_Yes emperor, now I really know how much I owe you.
_And will you strive in your training?
_Do I really need sir? Don't you think I'm good enough? Don't you want to test my skills in combat?
_Small Shangrall, if you are thinking of annihilating me in a fight to take my throne, forget it. I would finish you off so fast that you wouldn't even see what hit you.
_I didn't offer myself in a fight to displease you and I didn't even have that intention, my emperor.
_Do not deny to me what is part of your dark and petty nature ... I know that in your heart you want to defeat me in combat and take my throne. Know, however, that this is far, far from happening. If Krashiri still fought, you would not even be a match for him, you are totally useless for that.
_Do you consider me so bad in combat, my emperor?
_I'll invent a word suitable for your resourcefulness in combat ... Any such diaclo.
_Why my lord? Shangrall asked, totally unmotivated.
_Because there is no one to classify your performance. Mediocre, weak, lousy and horrible are still good compliments for you.
"Do you really think so, my emperor?" Shangrall asked without disguising the hatred on her face.
_If I think? I'm sure what I'm talking about. She declared the emperor, humiliating his daughter even more.
