A Talk Between an Emperor and his Empress.

We lost ourselves in each other for an uncountable amount of times. Vlada didn't lie when she said that she had so much pent up lust.

Yet somehow I knew she still wasn't satisfied even though we both almost lost consciousness since we both overexerted ourselves.

Somehow we found ourselves on top of a mattress in the middle… or was it near the first quarter.

Both Vlada and I were embracing each other as we talked sweet nothings to each other and talked about what happened since we last saw each other.

But it was mostly Vlada speaking as I listened while gently massaging her back. And everything that she told me only made my heart jerk with pain as it was filled with so much sadness from how she explained everything.

She even talked about when I first disappeared and how much that changed everything around her and the empire that I was supposed to be the Emperor of.

"Something unexpected happened when you were out in the Imperial Garden as the entire sky turned a bizarre silver color. I wasn't interested as it was my duty as your Silent Sister of the Grave to always be by your side. But we both knew that wasn't the only reason as even though we were young we knew the love we had for each other." Vlada explained softly as she rested on my chest as she started to increase the strength of her embrace.

"Then the next thing I knew a loud clapping of thunder echoed as if it was right next to me." Vlada started to shake slightly as she slowly looked me in the eyes as tears started to form in her eyes. "Then by the time I looked up for you, you were gone! My Emperor, my friend, my lover, and my soul. You were gone, you just turned ten years that year. I know you thought you were fourteen but you were just ten years old when that cursed lightning took you from me!"

I never broke contact from Vladas stare as I gently wiped her tears from her face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, under both her eyes, and then her lips.

"Nothing will be able to keep me from you, nothing." I promised as I looked Vlada in her eyes as they started to soften. "No one will be able to keep me from you Vlada, if anything I still have to find a way to give that bastard King a proper thanks."

Vlada just nodded her head as a large smile formed on her face as she gently rested her head back on my chest as she ran her fingers against the side of my chest.

"Still I can't believe you almost killed yourself when you fought Khedes. I knew you were going to be victorious, but still for you to do something that reckless. What drove you to do that?" Vlada asked as I released a light chuckle from my throat.

"Simple, I wanted strength. I was tired of being the weakest in the room and somehow being somehow saved by luck or circumstance. And sure I was able to gather the strength I was looking for." I scoffed while releasing a long sigh and slightly shook my head.

"Just didn't think my decision would lead me to you"

I smiled as Vladas embrace tightened around my waist. "It was the right choice, but now it irks me to say this as that means I'll be counting down the days until we meet next."

Vlada released a long and annoyed sigh as she looked up at me with the most upset face of all time.

Which honestly made her look cute as she puffed out her cheeks as they started to turn red.

"In the current Otherworld that you are currently living in, you'll have to wait a full month just to return to me. But for me, I'll have to wait three years." Vlada said as she still puffed out her cheeks before a large smile formed on her face. "But if you are able to reach Rank: Warlord, will both no longer have to worry about no longer seeing each other."

A wide smile started to form on my face before it froze as both Vlada and I kissed our teeth, looked at each other, and then laughed as we gave each other a long kiss as the continuous sound of the system notification sounded out.

{System Notification. Warning, warning you have given out information that you shouldn't have as the user with the Class: Grave Digger would have learned that information as they progressed.}

{System Notification. Notice since this is your first offense at this level you will be given a warning. But if you give out any information that is of high clearance you will be punished.}

{System Notification. Notice there is only an hour left until the user will be pulled from the Room of Coffins and Ruins. Please be prepared to be ejected back to your real body. Also you will be brought back just as the sun is about to rise.}

Vlada just scoffed as she gave someone a very violent middle finger while cursing everyone in that person's family. All the way down to their cow if they had one.

"Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot say, you pretentious prick! If I want to tell my husband something I will!"

Vlada continued to curse whoever she was cursing as a large and loving smile formed on my face.

"Gods you're beautiful when you're angry. You know that right." I said aloud with deep love in my voice as Vlada stopped mid sentence as she turned to face me with a large smile on her lips yet with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"I'm not supposed to look beautiful when I'm angry. Only you are allowed to say that as you will be the only person who will ever see the fullness of my beauty. Still it's because whoever that bastard is, it's because I'm stuck here until you get to the Rank: Warlord." Vlada spoke in a serious manner as the look in her eyes didn't waver.

"Whoever that bastard is, they are strong, Bastion. Very strong. Even stronger than this world's limit for power I've noticed."

I just took a deep breath as my site never left Vlada as there was no system notification as it seemed like it was something I should have already known.

"Bury them Bastion. Bury them all and then nothing will be able to stop you. Everything will be in your absolute control. And make that bastard pay for keeping us seperated from one another. I'm pretty sure it would be the first time you buried an actual God. Won't that be a site to see." Vlada spoke with determination in her voice as I nodded my head and cupped her cheek.

"I will bury anyone and everyone if they stand in my way of getting back to you, Vlada. I don't care if anyone wants me dead, as long as you are by my side nothing else matters." I stared into Vladas eyes as they started to shine as her face turned bright red which made me take her lips.

We didn't go any further as we both just cuddled one another until the last fifteen minutes until I was ejected from this place and from Vlada for an entire month. Vlada even helped and put my clothes back on as she gave me a long and deep kiss.

I grabbed Vladas cheeks softly as I gently pulled her away and pulled that mask from my Inventory and gave it to Vlada.

"You said that only I would be able to witness your full beauty." I smiled a loving smile as I placed the mask on her face as the mask immediately started to morph to fit her face before it began to transform to a completely beautifully designed blank mask.

"It's, amazing Bastion! Even though there is no slot for my eyes or mouth, I can still see and breathe just fine! And the best part is I can hardly feel it on my face." Vlada embraced me in a tight hug as I did the same.

"You will see me soon, My Hollowed Empress."

I said as both Vlada and I struggled to release each other before we both nodded to ourselves as we slowly let go. And it wasn't even ten seconds after we let go that I noticed everything going black as I found myself back in my own body as I groaned in pain.

"Oh, thank Qhedlir you're awake!! Tell this damn black skeleton to back off! I've been trying for the last hour to give your body a proper burial but the damn thing never left your side! So tell it to back off!" Ulrich yelled out as he dodged a thrust from Khedes bone sword he made from the Reckless Undead's spine.

I smiled weakly as I slowly sat myself up. "Khedes, continue to attack Ulrich for his shamelessness until I'm satisfied."
