This is the 14th Chapter of the story. Since I'm now making attempts in discussing about colonial imperialism with locals and foreigners, my morale was improved. With that, this new chapter is made. Please enjoy reading, everyone!

PS: Since I have a Tumblr account, you guys might see some Quotes of my OCs that I posted a while back. Anyway, please read on!

Chapter 14 - Tranquil Rest Part 2

Michelle was brushing her fangs with Splero's extra electric toothbrush in the bathroom when someone knocked on the closed door.

"Who's there?" - Michelle responded -

"It's me, Michelle. Are you changing clothes in there?" - Splero answered with a question -

"No, Splero. I'm just brushing my fangs. Come on in." - Michelle replied -

Splero entered to the room.

"Hope you get yourself refreshed for bed tonight." - Splero said -

Michelle giggled. As she finished brushing, Splero then opened a medicine cabinet and took a small syringe and some few cleaning wipes. Michelle noticed him.

"Hey, what are you doing?" - Michelle asked -

"I'm just taking my medication, Miss Michelle." - Splero replied -

"What kind of medication is that?" - Michelle asked again -

"It's a tranquilizer shot, Miss. I have a case of straining trauma nowadays." - Splero responded -

He then cleansed his arm with a cleansing wipe before injecting the syringe on it. As he removed the injection, slight bleeding oozes out. Splero then cleansed it again with a second wipe before placing the needle area with a usual plaster. After that, he faces Michelle.

"Hey, are you done in there?" - Splero asked -

"I'm done, Splero. Are you going to brush your teeth too?" - Michelle responded -

"Of course." - Splero replied with a smile -

"I'll wait you in the bedroom then." - Michelle said -

"Ok, sweetheart." - Splero replied -

Michelle nodded and with a blush on her face, she went to the bedroom. Inside the room, the vixen sat on the soft side of the bed. While she waits for Splero, she views the furnishings of his room. Pictures of First Colony Emperor Splero, Second Colony Emperor Tyler and Colony Queen Maylene were hanged on the walls along with some Zootopian paintings. Medals and ribbons were also hanged with picture frames in it. Near to the balcony, there was a desktop computer and a extra bookshelf. Michelle turned her face around and she saw a iron urn that was placed on a stone base. Below the base was a epitaph written in Splerinian Yihe and above the urn were 2 pictures of a man and woman. The man in the picture looked like Splero and the woman looked like Maylene. As Michelle pondered on, Splero finally appeared.

"Hey, there. I'm done. What are you looking at?" - Splero asked -

"I'm just looking at these pictures. Who are these people?" - Michelle responded -

"Them? They are my parents that were passed away for a long time, Michelle." - Splero answered -

"They are your parents?" - Michelle realized -

"Yes, Michelle. They were the very first people that reigned the independent Splerinian Yihe for long decades. My father's name was Henry Mearn and my mother's name was Sapphire Tiaraz." - Splero explained -

Splero then quickly bowed down as respect for his deceased loved ones. He then stood up and gazes on the pictures before sighing.

"Both of them defended the imperial system right before they abdicated and passed away in their very old ages. Since their imperialism, I followed their footsteps for the sake of the Splerinian Yihe." - Splero added -

Michelle comforted him by patting him in the back with her paws.

"I'm so sorry for your loss, Splero. Even though my condolence is quite late, I wanted to comfort you more with such peace in mind." - Michelle reassures him -

Splero nodded and a few tears leaked from his mauve eyes. He then smiles.

"Thanks, Michelle." - Splero thanked her -

Michelle gazes at his face and she places her paws on the sides of his face. She then wipe his tears away with her paws. Splero then wrapped his hands on her back.

"To be honest, you're the most beautiful yet comforting vixen I even knew of in my life. I'll do anything to protect you, Michelle." - Splero added -

"Oh, you're so sweet." - Michelle replied -

Splero then inches his face slowly to Michelle's. He then started off with a very light peck on her lips. Michelle wanted more and she gave him a good kiss on his mouth. They make out romantically and as they break for air, they gazed with each others' eyes.

"Splero...Since I loved you now, can you be my mate?" - Michelle asked -

The Yihe emperor's heart skipped a heartbeat upon hearing that. He then grins.

"I'll be honored to, Michelle." - Splero replied -

Michelle giggled happily before she tackles him to the soft bed. When she done that, the romance begins.

This is the end of Chapter 14. The ending sure did led to a lemon but that lemon will be on the next chapter, so stay tuned!
