The Magician of Suwa: The Beginning
Nihon, Shirasaki Castle
A servant came close and hovered just behind the Empress' elbow.
"Yes?"
A quick message brought a flashing smile of satisfaction to her face, and then the Empress was striding away with a curt farewell.
Much of the energy seemed to leave the room with her exit, and Yanna sat down heavily, her heart thudding in her chest.
"How do you find my sister?" the Tsukuyomi asked, one expressive brow arched high in amusement.
Yanna could only answer honestly. "She's… extraordinary."
With a smile at Chiyo, the Tsukuyomi started serving out their meal. "And so a loyal country is won."
