This Scene In My Book Is My Roman Empire - Tumblr Posts

“I hope you realize, Queen Moriah, I am only doing this because my people are now mixed with your citizens and I have sworn to protect them until my last breath. That is the only reason.”

“I expect nothing less from you, Kazen. You’re doing your people and mine a great service.”

“Don’t mistake it for doing you a service,” I warn. I turn on my heel and, just before I exit the throne room, I glance over my shoulder. “I want a memorial service for my people. So they can mourn those you killed.” 

“I did not kill them,” comes the Queen’s tight response. 

Furious, I turn. “Maybe not personally, but you were the one to give the order. Not the General, certainly not Lord Deleon. You. Give me and my people a memorial service or I will personally ensure your entire kingdom turns their backs on you,” I snarl. 

The Queen stands. “Is that a threat?” she demands. 

“It’s not a threat. It’s a promise.” 

With that, I leave the throne room.
