Dunwall,Gristol
11:40 PM
" Madness..Madness!", Emperor Kaldwin shouted.
" But sir,.. the city watch suppressed the revolt, it won't happen again!" Explained the military adviser.
" Won't happen again? Next time it'll be a damn revolution!", The Emperor exclaimed.
Nearly 20 minutes ago. A group of Morlian Nationalists tried to ignite a rebellion in the capital of Morley. The nationalists were killed but, it cost the lives of over 20 city watch guardsmen.
" Sire, should I suggest that we send in soldiers to act as garrison units?"
" Seems like a good thought but, members in Parliament would reject the idea.", The emperor and his adviser started to walk up the steps, passing the guards, to Dunwall Tower.
" I'll tell you, Daniel.", The emperor started." It's been nearly 20 years since we shaped this nation and now all of it could be at risk, thanks to these hagfish mother-less rebels.",
It's been 10 years after The Morley Insurrection ended and the populace still had the idea of secession from the empire. The emperor himself was recently the head monarch during this time. He knew how bloody the insurrection was and the last thing he would want was a another.
They slowly made it up the last few steps to the double doors of the tower.
" Well, sir what do you wish to do?", his adviser said with confusion.
" Tomorrow morning, call up Parliament for an emergency meeting! I believe that those rebels bastards are up to something. Until then, signal the navy and tell them to send three battleships to patrol the ports leading out of Morley. We would want that mess spilling over here now would we?!",
" Very good, sir and may I wish you a happy feast.",
" Yes, yes and happy feast to you.",
The emperor and Adviser Daniel parted ways. Emperor Kaldwin slowly walked into the tower, where he was greeted by two city watch officers by the large steps.
" Hello, sir", the officers said in unison.
"Hello, officers. How's my daughter?", said the curious emperor.
" Madam jessamine is currently resting in her room upstairs.", one officer replied.
" Oh..well, thank you guards.", the emperor said disappointingly.
" Father..",
The emperor turned to look to see his beautiful, half-asleep, 15-teen year old daughter at the top of the steps.
" Ah, jessamine..jessamine, my basket of roses. You're awake! Come let's go to the roof and watch the fireworks!", the emperor said sounding excited
" Father, please I'm really tired."
" Oh, I know that but the fireworks will be exciting! You well be enthralled by such visual! Just come on! I'll even tell the guards to leave!",
Jessamine sighed and followed her father to the roof, where they were opened to a cold, breeze night.
" Guards, leave us please." the emperor said with a rough and harsh voice.
The guards left them up on the roof. Where the two could hear nothing but silence.
...
After 5 minutes, jessamine was becoming irritated from waiting. She wanted to go back in her nice warm bed.
" Father, how much longer till- * crack*
Jessamine heard a noise in the distance. Then Dunwall's clock tower chimed its keys, signaling the beginning of a new year.
The night sky was soon opened up to a fiery display of fireworks combining with the shouts and cheering from the crowds of the city below.
" Breathtaking.", jessamine said.
" Indeed.",
This moment had the emperor think to himself. What would happen now? With a new year in effect, what could happen? Internal conflicts in Morley will break out to a second insurrection? What will his daughter do when she takes the throne this year? Will the people of the empire finally live in the life they once had 50 years ago?
" Honey, promise me..promise me that when you are empress...You will always put your people first. No matter what.",
" I promise...old man.", Jessamine said playfully.
" Hey, your mother use to call me that." The emperor laughed.
" Don't worry father. I will safeguard the people with my life.",
They both embrace into a hug as the fireworks died out in the distance.
I wish to personally thank Someguy for being the first to review.
