Cakes and Noise

"Why are we here..."

Vendetta, tried to somehow find a comfortable sleeping position, while sitting on the most uncomfortable chair in the whole empire.

Made of some disgustingly hard metal and decorated with flowery ornaments pressing into Vendettas back.

"This could be a torture method...", she murmured, while being exposed to the midday sun.

-Why does this stupid café not even have umbrellas.-

Vendetta let her head fall onto the table. She regretted it immediately. It was made of the same darn material.

-But at least I don't have to see the sun.-

"Oh my, have I kept you waiting for too long~?", a cheerful and melodic voice sounded through the terrasse of the café.

"You are not angry with me, right~?, this girl was simply too motivated.

-Oh no it's a tomboy.-, Vendetta realized it too late. She covered her ears with her hands.

"Acaranne.", this time it was the emperor's voice.

"Sit down."

"Of course~, of course~. So what have you called me for?", Vendetta heard a chair being pulled back, making a horrifying sound, while its metal legs were scratching along the ground.

-Screeeeeeeeeeeech-

"To observe." , the emperor pointed to a person, walking by the café.

"Just watch."

Vendetta looked up. The decorations on the table, were clearly imprinted on her face, leaving a mark of flowers right above her left cheek.

Vendetta and Acaranne followed his eyes. On the left side of the road an old man was carrying two water buckets, filled to the brim. 

He stumbled, ultimately spilling the transparent liquid all over the ground. But the smile didn't leave his lips. He stood up again and continued with his work.

"That will be all.", The Emperor stood up.

"Tomorrow, same time, same place, don't be late.", he continued.

"And..", he added, a smirk finding the way to his lips.

"I'll be taking this one hostage.", The Emperor waved with a golden pillow, as he left.
