2018-12-18 20:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostYou hesitated, not exactly sure what was happening in that moment, but it would be the first of many between you and Peter. Soon, you two were stealing away to see one another, going behind your father’s back to meet him. His kisses were strong and sweet and you couldn’t help but fall for him.
Maradon and I have been happy together for a long while now. Even as the Ruby Empire is turned to upheaval by war and political intrigue. Maradon’s island home has remained peaceful, protected by their control of the ocean that surrounds us.

Sure, Mythri was queen over one of the Empire’s most powerful armies, but I doubt she had strength enough to take on Maradon. I would have to act fast to save that poor woman’s neck.
