Storm in the quiet

"Will you allow me to kill you?"

Aries had always felt she was being watched. It all started when she became the empress of the Haimirich Empire. At first, she told herself it was normal since the position she took was the highest seat that was equal to the emperor. But as time goes by, she had always felt a particular gaze was watching her every move. 

No. It wasn't the type that felt leery or unsafe. Aries couldn't exactly describe it until now that she stood before this man. It was a feeling of security only felt when someone knew their guardian was just around the corner. 

Her lips quivered, unable to look away at those smiling eyes, watching his hands approach her that appeared to be bigger than they should be.
