Slothdom

Glistening light shone brightly through the windows of Vendetta's study. From the floor, to the highest scroll in her bookshelf everything was made of pure gold.

Today, the sun made an especially vain effort to illuminate every single speck of dust, with her never ending rays, penetrating from every angle.

The room's owner was hidden behind a stack of pillows and cushions, making a desperate effort to escape reality.

Wine bottles were scattered all over the floor, filled with thick golden liquid. Some of it spilled on the ground, following an almost artistic pattern.

"Hell... I can't even get drunk...", muttered Vendetta behind an especially shiny pillow.

-Stomp-

"Damn...", Vendetta could immediately tell whose footsteps she just heard.

-Stomp-

"That bastard of a crown prince..."

-Stomp-

"..."

-Creak-

Slowly, very slowly the majestic metallic door to her study opened, making a sound that Vendetta hated with all her heart and soul.

-Screeeeeeeeeeech-

Desperately, she grabbed every pillow available and covered her ears, with four to five layers of feathers and silk on each side.

-Stomp-

Now he was inside. Vendetta closed her eyes. Wishing for that stupid prince to just disappear.

"Detti!", cried the kid out with all his heart.

Vendetta's eyes shook with fear. There was nothing this insolent ten year old boy wasn't daring to do.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA" - not again - she thought as she woke up.

-Bleh-

Disgusted by her sleeping habits, Vendetta spat out a strand of her blonde hair she had just swallowed by accident.

"It's all that bastard's fault anyway."

"Stupyness...", she thought for a second, before continuing.

"Stupidity at its peak.", this time nodding proudly in agreement with her own statement.

-Bang-

The only door to her study swung open and made a noise that Vendetta hated just a little less than Screech.

"Vendetta, raise yourself."

"...", something was definitely not right.

"The Ancient Archmage, I would be very much obliged if you spared me just a little bit of your attention and your oh so precious time."

"..."

"Come with me."

"...But then, I have to leave my bed."

"Well, that much should be obvious."

Yes, something was definitely not right, if the matter even required her to get out of bed.

"The words of an emperor are so harsh."

A sigh left Vendetta's lips as she put her favourite cushion aside.

"You were much cuter back than, you know."

"Silence."
