It seems to me that you don't know a lot of things yet, little kriishen, let alone that you're not a princess at all. I didn't give you any power in that place ... Not yet. That is why you look more like an intruder in my palace than any other creature here.
_I will learn everything, you will see.
She affirmed Shangrall with fear, at the same time that she felt hurt by the words of the one who throughout her life until a few days ago had been her only father.
_I entrusted you with a simple mission, and you return with no more and no less. You don't even pass my throne to say you're back or to give me some good news. It seems that Krashiri has not properly taught your obligations and duties.
_That's right, emperor, Krashiri is not good enough to teach me.
_Yes, I know that, that slippery old man is worthless ... And you know why?
_No emperor.
_Because deep down he has a good pump [heart]. I'm going to lose him as my faithful boot licker but that will be expensive for him ... Very expensive
_And why don't you call him back and put him in the royal restorer? In a few cycles it will be new again.
_It is like I said Shangrall, he has a good heart, but I have no obligation to fix neither his mistakes nor yours.
_I don't understand what you mean by that.
_Why he traded a chance to be my long-lived advisor, for a faster recovery ... His recovery. He messed up the dial wrongly, so he could increase a degree for you to recover soon, and lost what he most cherished ... Serve me kriishially. [Loyally]
_I did not know sir that he could lose his position for that ...
_And why didn't you know, took your anger out on a poor old man? But I think it was time to change your way of learning. Krashiri no longer serves you, does it?
_That's right, sir, it doesn't suit me anymore.
She replied excitedly.
_Excellent. I will have you two executed together because you are so worthless.
_But my lord give me another chance!
_You asking for a chance? Did you happen to give any to your old instructor when you beat him up?
_I know I was wrong, my lord, but I just ask for one more chance, and I'm sure that I will do what you ask me about Tallium, I just need a little more tempus.
The emperor stopped to think for a moment. This time he would have to be more flexible, or he could be condemning his own planet in his rude attitude.
_How much tempus do you need?
_A meaclo is good for me, my emperor.
_There will only be half of one, and then if you don't have good results, you will be sought out and executed.
_But what is the purpose of my mission, sir?
_You have to convince your father to save our planet in some way. He has to find a way, any less than to abandon our precious Kriishi Meriam.
_But is he capable of that, my emperor?
_If he has the right motivation, probably.
_And what would that motivation be, sir?
_Isn't it obvious to you? You will be that motivation.
_And if I don't get my emperor?
_We will all go to the realm of eternal silence, but first you ... In a very, very unpleasant way.
_And if I can, sir?
_It will move on to the next phase of your learning.
_And if he wants to run away and take me along, my emperor?
_Then I forget that he is my brother and I forget that you are my daughter, and there will be no place in this galaxy or in another one that you can hide from me ... Because I will have to blow up each hole of Ratuc (small rodent of Krishiimerian ) so that I can find you. And if I don't find the planet that you are hiding, I will have them all blown up, until I am sure that you will be smashed inside one of them. Any more questions?
And trembling, very close to the emperor, feeling the heat of his breath and his anger, Shangrall replied:
_No my lord, I don't have any more questions.
_Then get out of here now and go wherever you need to go, but don't forget, you have a certain tempus to act and when you're done, be here with your other father and with a solution. Do you understand me well?
_Yes, my lord, I have no doubt about it.
_Excellent! Follow your father wherever he goes on this planet, but try to avoid the Harvest City.
_And what would I do there? You know that I hate that place.
_It is just a warning. Do not forget that there are some villages and the feared colony of giants, full of its rebellious inhabitants of impressive height and much worse than the one that gave you a beating.
_I'm not afraid of them.
She replied, irritated by the comment.
_Very well my little kriishen.
The emperor continued, lowering his tone:
_But the old Krashiri that you beat up and made him lose his job, he is the father of at least a dozen of them and you know how the bad news is going fast in this place ... Isn't that right?
