Summary: What really goes on in Keiki's mind... (companion series to The Empress's Diary)

Dear diary,

I think Heaven is playing a rather mean joke on me. If not, why in twelve kingdoms did it decide to grant me another empress after the last one? Don't they know the dangers of this species of living things known as 'women'?

Why I can't I just get a male ruler instead of a female one?

And why do I say that?

Well, do you know that women have the horrible talent of transforming insignificant objects into dangerous weapons?

Poor innocent me was simply doing my part as a good Taiho by looking for Yoko to inform her of the latest news that had arrived from our army in the South when she tried to take advantage of my kind nature.

Do you know where I can lodge a complaint of sexual harassment from my superiors?

Anyway, Yoko had just gotten a shipment of Pocky from Hourai, and she asked me if I would like to try one. Specifically, the one hanging from her lips.

I am not dumb and certainly not blind. I will not fall for something like this.

So, I just snapped the stick of biscuit into half and put it into my mouth. Not bad, but not as enjoyable as the look on Yoko's face.

Ha.

Oh, by the way, remind me to tell Enki to stop accepting orders from Yoko for things from Hourai.

"Hm, we have a letter from Keiki requesting that we stop selling Hourai imports to Keiou..." Enou muttered as he stared at the piece of paper in his hand.

Enki looked up from his own stack of documents accumulated from skipping two weeks worth of assemblies.

"Was there a problem with the previous shipment" He asked.

"What was in the previous shipment"

"Pocky. This sort of stuff seems rather popular with the women. Yoko's wasn't the only order we received."

"That's strange. It doesn't sound like anything that will bring trouble."

"Who knows."
