The Princess's second chance
K. R. Alexanderthe empress in the palace
The woman's voice flooded my ears, her touch on my hands was the only physical sensation I could feel.
"The future is uncertain, and there are two paths ahead. One leads to a bright sun shining over the empire, bringing prosperity, peace, and power. The other leads to a night, with fear, death, and despair in a ruined empire," she spoke and then disconnected, leaving me alone in the dark room.
In desperation, I asked: "What must I do to make the sun shine on our empire?" The woman just smiled, stood up, and opened the door for us to leave.
