Retired - Chapter Seven – Emperor’s Blade

I was walking onto the shuttle, with the Grand Duchess Daria walking in front of me. She had chains on her ankles and wrists. I was truly enjoying this. “Drake, tell the emperor it was all a mistake. Tell him I sent my forces there to help. Please, Drake! He will execute me publicly.” “I am Supreme Marshal Drake Daemon to you, your grace. If you speak to me again, please be sure to use my full title.” “Please, Supreme Marshal Drake Daemon, I don’t want to die.” I looked down at this woman begging for her life. Rage boiled into my heart. “You have killed thousands of people in your quest to become empress. Did you ask even a single one of them if they wanted to die? Your men raped and killed people on my home planet. Did you even care that they were doing this?

Then I pushed the duchess ahead of me and walked down the ramp with Lizell and Lorelei trailing me. As I approached the circle of Praetorian Guardsmen, two stepped forward with scanners. I extended the duchess’s hand and let them scan her identity. Then, while they were sniffing her, I extended my hand. The guard hesitated, and I growled under my breath. He took the hint and scanned me. While I was being sniffed, they scanned the Countess Lorelei. Then, finally, they scanned Lizell. The guard spoke when her identity was established. “Sir, we have no clearance for this woman to approach the emperor.” “I will vouch for her.
