From Princess to Queen

"Xxylzblub xlr" roughly translated as 'Queen, the prisoner stirs.'
Diva nodded to the messenger bug that brought her the awaited tidings.
Mere hours before, Jinnai and Ifurita had returned with the Roshtarian
princess. This was not the leader that Diva had seen in other
reports, but the other that she had not heard much of through her childrens'
observations. The second princess did not seem to have anything to do with
the military or political ruling of the Roshtarians beyond her necessity
in using the Eye. But what did she do if not those things? It must be
some kind of cover. Perhaps Rune Venus was just a cover while Fatora
ran the country from the safety of obscurity. She approached the cell
carefully, choosing to linger in the shadows for a moment as she observed
the prisoner.
Fatora stood, angrily eyeing the Bugrom around her. "Do you have any
idea who I am?! Do you have any clue what will be done to you when
I am recovered by my country?!" Threats were a no go. She thought
some more. No, seduction was right out. Fatora frowned, with all
the regality and poise that one could frown with.
Diva came another few steps into the room, making her footfalls audible
to the princess. Her glance lighted on a tiny Bugrom for an instant,
just for the amount of time it took for her order to form in its mind,
'Sleep sting'.
Fatora's eyes went wide for a split second before narrowing to a scheming
glare. The expression had become a familiar one to Diva and that familiarity
struck her now. "Queen Diva, I see you've finally come to negotiate with
me directly. Very wise. So, let's get right to the point? What is it
you expect to get, hmmm? Be reasonable and perhaps we can come to a
comfortable arrangement." At this last comment, her mouth had found its
way into her charming, and more than somewhat predatory grin.
Diva nodded, and her small child struck, once more leaving the second
Roshtarian princess unconscious. She dismissed the other bugs, taking
one more moment to study.... her rival? Truly, she was much like him.
Those qualities that would have drawn her to Jinnai were present in the
same abundance in this girl. Diva rested her hand against the cage and
felt her face soften as she looked at the princess. She was beautiful.
How unfortunate that it could never be....
Diva turned and strode from the chamber. Back to her throne, to the Bugrom,
to Jinnai, and the defeat of Roshtaria.

Author's note: First, much thanks for Random for reading this and
telling me that it wasn't that bad, and to Dookychan for giving me much
appreciated advice to fix it up. Second, I have a terrible time
picking ratings. Hopefully noone's shocked, offended, or disappointed
by the lack of shocking or offensive material.
