A Queen Among Snakes
I catch my breath and open my eyes to see Mei watching me with a sweet, concerned look on her face.
“I’m okay,” I reassure her. She smiles, relaxing and gives me a happy nod.
“You are now connected to us and we to you, my Emperor,” Qiang says with a respectful nod.
I take Mei’s hand in mine as we raise our hands in the air looking around at our people as they clap and cheer, shouting praise to their new Empress and Emperor.
“You did it,” I tell her, kissing the back of her hand.
She smiles shaking her head, “We did it,” she corrects me. How can I not love this woman? My soulmate. My Empress. We’re in this together side by side, and nothing will ever come between us again.
