We got into a carriage that will take us all the way to The Imperial Palace in the capital, Shoudu the playground for the rich and famous to spend their money on lavish banquets and intricate jewellery and other unmentionable things. I look to Rougyu who appeared to be was the more rigorous of the brothers. So have you been to Shoudu recently? I start awkwardly.

 No, due to the rebellion, so about six ,seven months since we last visited? Rougyao looking to Rougyu for the answer. Seven and a half months since we where last there and you Empress when was your last visit to your glorious capital? He retorts jokingly. Looking back a year and a bit I think. Really? But your Father was a general? Rougyao notes surprised. Father doesn't like to bring me to the capital that often when there's no need I respond a bit embarrassed. 

I laugh at there antics. You both remind me of me and my little brother. You have a little brother Empress? Rougyu asks. Yes I do seven years younger so fourteen years old though he acts younger. So you know my struggle of having to put up with this one? Rougyu asks rolling his eyes. Rougyao gives his brother a dirty look. I start to feel a bit drowsy. A chuckle escapes me. Yes, yes I suppose I do. Rougyao forms a pout on his lips. How much longer till we reach the capital? I ask with a yawn.  Rougyao looks out of the carriage, wWe should be there a little before midday every thing going smoothly is the reply. Alright I try to  just sleep the rest of the journey goodnight. Goodnight Empress they respond in unison. Then I let sleep take me.

I stifle a yawn. Empress are tired? If so you should go to sleep Rougyao says concerned. Yeah that sound nice, my eyes feeling the littlest bit heavier. When will we reach Shoudu? About midday Empress now you should get some sleep. Yes yes goodnight I get out before giving into the comforting darkness of sleep.
