"Your majesty there has been a problem with the Eastern and Western Kingdom's"! I followed the maid  out to the carriage and thanked her. When I got to the Eastern castle everyone was crowded around Queen Talia. She was lying on the ground with a sword wound through her stomach.

    I immediatly knew that Valeria had assassinated her. Even worse that it was agenst the law. I checkwed her pulse, nothing, Queen Talia was dead. "Tell Valeria to get ready for war with the Rix kingdom"! Valeria would either die in the war or by exuctuion anyways.

    On my way out everyone was asking me questions. "Empress Rixona, are you sure this is what you plan to do"? "Yes I am very sure, one queen has killed another, an act truly forbidden". "But are you sure a war is the right thing to do"? "Of course I am, no more questions".

    Although we didn't talk much Talia, was one of the Queens I had the best connection with. She was cold but had a beautiful and warm soul. When I got back to the castle guards and Laizen were wating for me. "Your majesty", Gerald shouted. "Yes Gerald"?

    "Are you sure you want to send out the war letter to queen Valeria"? "Yes I am sure, don't ask me again". "What are you doing", Laizen asked pulling me off to the side. "Being the Empress I should be", I said walking away. "There war started tommorrow on the North west battle grounds".

    The next day I woke up to a large breakfast. "Good luck on the war today your majesty", Melissa said. "Thankyou". After I ate I put on my under clothes and then my armor. "Isn't it time I head out", I asked. Gerlad walked up to me and bowed down, holding my sword.

    I grabbed it and thanked him. "What if you die Rixona, you have no next of kin", Laizen asked. "Then you are to become ruler and bare child with another woman, keep trying until you have a girl". "Once she is born and grows up she will be the new Empress of the Rix nation". "What age will she mature".

    "She needs to mature quickly so age 15 she will become Queen". "That's not what I mean't Rixona". "She is not to do such a thing until age 20". "That's a long time Rixona"! "I have no time to argue with you Laizen". "I must go now, my army awaits".

    I headed out the door and my stallion took me to battle grounds. I went to the front line and greeted all of the soldiers. I watched as Valeria and her army approached the area. "You're an evil woman Valeria, you lost the war and couldn't accept it".

    "I've always known you to be a sore loser since childhood". "I've also known you to make horrible choices". "Soldiers, Charge"! My horse ran around and I waved my sword as it moved. I cut many soldiers and killed some even, but I couldn't find my one target. Valeria.

    Many soldiers had died and I still didn't see her. I thought she had died already until I heard her voice behind me. "You did well Rixona, from the looks of it you won the war". "But I'm not done-". I stabbed her through the stomach. "I've also known you to talk too much".

    Valeria died and I won the war. But now I had to find a knew Queen of the Western and Eastern kingdoms. There was a party when I got home and Falon was there. We greeted each other and she pulled me off to the side. "I'm not having a child with my husband", she said.

    "Guilty"? "No, I never planned on doing so from the start". "Then why did you tell me so"? "Because he was on to me, he pointed out the time I spent with you and how he heard us call each by our names". "I had to make him think nothing was wrong".

    "I made him think that I am infertile". "It's been a month Falon, without you why did it take so long". "I know and I'm sorry", she said kissking me. I kissed her back, "I missed you so much". "I missed you too". We looked out the leaves fall.

    "I can't wait until we can get married", I said. "Everyday is another day closer".
