The Emperor is the saviour of humanity – Sister Paletine
“So, what do you think of Timothy?” Jessica whispered from her bed. Audrey had found having a room all to herself strange, so had volunteered for a roommate. Jessica moved in at the last time cycle.
Audrey looked at the triangle in the semi lit room hanging from the ceiling. “I like the way he thinks deeply about battles, the strategies, different formations.”
Jessica giggled. “Not like that. Would you like to know.. you are about the same age.”
“Are you serious? Our lives hang in the balance?”
Honestly, where did I find her?
Jessica continued. Audrey had to stay stillstill to hear. “Well some of us think he’s fit. Daire can’t stop thinking about him.”
Audrey felt her stomach ache. Daire is beautiful.
“Time for sleep.” Audrey’s voice was loud, her tons stern.
“Alright, alright Audrey,. I was only asking. No need to go all fire and brimstone.”
“I didn’t. We have a big few time cycles in front of us, and we need to rest.”
Doesn’t she realise her life hangs in the balance? And that the men have women sent to their room anyway. And she really needs to concentrate on her skills.
