I couldn't sleep that night.
I just ruined a man's life...I just told him his life was over...oh my god...oh my god...
...My mom was in that same situation...she...oh my god...
I went to visit her a lot the next few weeks, after signing all these bills and donating money to an orphanage or something like that.
My crown was snug on my head. I felt so powerful when I wore it. I had on a silver dress that was extremely slimming on me. I had matching shoes, too!
Even though I was really a Queen, I felt like a pampered princess. Never did I have all these luxuries. And even though my mom was a criminal, I had a mom.
I sat next to the cell bars, just talking about normal stuff. I asked her about her childhood and she asked me about mine. I didn't mention a lot of the boring stuff that showed how terrible and miserable my life had been. She didn't though. She was born into a farming family, and was forced into the Pyros Unitos when she was kidnapped. She explained to me that she didn't know any better.
Well, the months went by and she looked happier and healthier each time I saw her. Before I knew it, I'd been a whole year already. And it wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I didn't see my friends from Earth anymore, and that's just the way it was. I couldn't control it, and I couldn't get upset about it. Because when I did, I'd have a nervous breakdown and cry for days.
I never forgot what mom said...that there were escape pods close to my room. Why would she tell me this? Was something going to happen?
On my mom's birthday I brought her a cake, which was never allowed, but since I was the Supreme Ruler, I figured they'd let it slide. She seemed so grateful. And I didn't blame her to show it. She didn't have anyone before I came back here. And now I was here.
A week after that there was an attack on the Elementorian people. A bomb exploded in the Central Plaza, which was right smack in the center of the planet. It was the most crowded place because it was a main way for transportation. There were hover-buses and taxies, and monotrians and spacecrafts.
We traced the attack to a planet called Moonslat. It was in the same galaxy. They'd been jealous of our ship industry for a while. They wanted war, huh? Then a war they'd get.
Pff! Yeah right! I can't have a war! I can barley run this place now!
I mean, sure I looked weak, but I was! I didn't want a war! No, nope, no-sir. Of course, my 4 friends were ripping me up. Especially Vineza. She never gave me a break. Never. I should fire her ass. Nah, they'd been here before I did. They were my advisors. And I did trust them. Even if they didn't trust me.
