-I also think so, too.- said a new voice behind them. -Tribune!-shouted an angry Roxton.-How did you suppose! And you tried to let us believe that you don't know anything about Marguerite! Meanwhile he tried to hide Marguerite behind himself. -Come now Lord Roxton, and I believed that you already knew my methods.Unfortunatly,in my species doesn't have honor and nobility like humans do.-said Tribune.-It's a great luck from the standpoint of surviving. -I think of it in another way-cut in Marguerite-In the outside world your species are just unintelligent reptiles, while humans are the masters of the world. -Let us to goTribune!-demanded Roxton. -I don't understand you Lord Roxton. Why do you wants this woman? At our last meeting she left you to your fate without thinking to save her skin. -I remember a little differently.remarked Marguerite offended. Roxton's brain was working fevereshly on the solution. -Maybe there is so much honor in your species, take out that you don't turn against your former helpers. If I remember correctly,not so lo ago you could acquired the thron only with our help. -It's true,but I don't understand that why you don't want to let dear Marguerite to be the empress.I'm absolutly sure, that it is one of her dreams. John and Marguerite glanced at eachother. -Oh, now I understand!How romantic!-hissed Tribune sarcastically.-Love!This is just another foolish human emotion,that makes you weak. I bet that in Marguerite eyes I'm taking out thethe attractiver because of my wealth and power. -You're wrong Tribune! The wealth is a good thing-said Marguerite-,but not at all cost.If I would be the empress, the fate of Centuria would hauted me all the time.Besides I don't want to be the main dish. -Like I said it before, you don't have a choice!-the lizard became angry. But at this time, noise of explosions was heard. Roxton had convinced the others to make some confusions to hide their escape. He took the oppurtunity, since the lizard had paid attention to the explosions,and he pushed Tribune out of the way and he ran with Marguerite to the exit of the palace. By the exit the other part of the expedition was already waiting for them.They ran out into the town, and from there out into the jungle. Meanwhile the captain of the guard was asking Tribune for commands.- Emperor, should I send a centurio after them? -No-dropped Tribune angry.-I know when I'm loosing.But where will I find an empress?
-------------------- The fleeing Challenger-expedition dared to slow down just after several miles.Than they felt reliefed, that the lizards didn't chase them .Everybody hugged Marguerite and they were happy with all their hearts. While they were taking a rest, they were told by Marguerite what happened exactly. -So Tribune confirmed what I suspected for long time:I was born to reign.- stated the woman at the end of the story.The others were laughing very hard .-I don't understand what is it so funny?-she said,laughing too. Roxton,who was sitting beside her,embraced her waist and whispered in her ear:-You will always be my empress!
