Chimera was a bit reluctant in his movements, but he didn’t give her any verbal protests so Deathbelle continued moving as the young boy followed beside her. He was a quiet child, but that was no huge surprise. The pair of them walked and Belle asked her open ended question but in return she was given a question in return. The Empress perked her brow at the boy, ”You’re supposed to answer my question before you ask another one, Chimera.” She told him softly, instructing him in the ways of polite conversation.

She would take her own advice though, somewhat curious how her own words might influence the answer she sought from him. ”I want you to be an important part of the Empire.” She explained easily enough. ”I want to see you as a strong ally for your sister when she eventually takes the throne.” She wasn’t specific on what exactly that meant. She wanted him to decide where his position would be. Be it in a warriors role, hunter, or even a future shamyn.
