I waited till he closed the door to send the entire video to the council. I know as a rule Link would get a notification as well. I didn't care. I want to proposal to end. I want peace. As predicted the council went ballistic on him. They were trying to enjoy the night but they agree that whatever they were doing can wait. They called an emergency meeting and the Emperor was told to find someone else to spend the night with. He said that he is falling in love with me so he took advantage. The council was pleased that he felt that way but he should have listened to the words coming out of my mouth. He countered if they were pleased as they say then why are they advising him to stop pursuing me. They said that they celebrate positivity as long as it is mutual. But the rule is it shouldn't overpower the sanctity of another person's personal space.
He was ordered to apologize by the werewolf members or they will convene and he will not longer be emperor. With much deliberation they will place someone else in his seat. Link made the mistake of calling him a one side vampire and the man stood up and changed into a werewolf. Link apologized profusely. I apologized for selecting Link to be emperor since I was convinced by some that he was fair and just. Link gave me a look, "You chose me to be emperor and yet you don't want to my wife?" I smiled, "You're not my type. I have a very particular type of men that attracts my attention. You have none of those traits." Link said, "Why didn't you say that before it could have saved you this meeting" I replied, "The answer is relevant when we ask the right question. You kept saying marry me. Not why won't you marry me. You gave ideas about why I don't want to marry you but never bothered to find out if I had a particular type" the council applauded. I had a law passed so that person can marry a member of their security without prejudice. Both sides concured and the law was passed.
The meeting adjured and we went our separate ways. Batou walked in and I ran to him. He gathered me in his arms and rocked me back and forth. Soren told him what happened. Batou said that he will take care of me. Link arrived and asked if Batou was my type. Batou replied scandalized, "Her mother was my partner in the police department before the zombie apocalypse. I have known Sasha since she was born. I helped her mother raise her. I used take her to and from the hospital. I watched her grow into a fabulous person that she is today. So she is like my daughter. She is feeling uncomfortable right now so I am trying to soothe her" I stuck my head out, "The emperor barged into my room without permission and said he is claiming me as his wife. Is a he five years calling dibs on a toy? I told him to leave and he didn't listen. He kept saying he claims me. In the end I said that I will force authority on him to get him out. I felt like I was walking down a street full of people and a crazy person came out of nowhere and ripped my clothes off." Batou gave him the look of death. He looked at Link like he was a rapist. Link raised his hands to say he is sorry and walked away.
Batou took me back to Luna and he spend the rest of the day yelling at security for letting Link into my quarters. The others assumed that there was some sort of emergency. They promised to never let him in even if there is a zombie invasion. Batou was satisfied when they gave a blood oath. When he walked Aaron proposed to my daughter and the two moved to Moonstone. Oleg on the other hand never left my side. The only place he didn't join me was the bathroom. Roland joked when we get married that will change. Nobody laughed at the joke. I attended parties and charities. When I am bored Roland and Oleg would take me clubbing. I made it my business to not go to Central.
A year later I was summoned to settle a dispute. I am a member of the council as long as I am neutral so that makes me the deciding vote. The argument was about to shatter the window when I walked in. Immediately there was silence. Link asked why I was here. They said that I chose to help both sides so until I am Empress I am the neutral and deciding vote on matters. I said both sides had compelling argument. I gave them an amended idea on the matter that favors all sides. Everyone say yes immediately. The vote was passed and I sat down. Link got inspired by my idea and proposed that we get married. To which the council reminded him that he is emperor so no amount pleading will change the fact that he and I are not supposed to get married. He proposed that I step down from throne contention. He and I get married and things are sunny side up.
The council member said, "She is a successor by popular vote. You are here because a few made a decision. No one in their right mind want Sasha to step down. If this nonsense is persistent. Then we will withdraw the idea of a werewolf being emperor and put Sasha in that seat. Are you going to accuse me of being a one sided vampire?" Link had to apologize for his rudeness. The council placed a law that forbids him from proposing to me. If he tries again he is under arrest and I will have to sit on the throne whether I like it or not.
I happily sat down to mention the problems in the city and hope that Central would send money and aid to help to help them. The council sent the necessary funds and helping hands. The people were pleased to have a government that didn't wring the people dry. A few amendments later I walked towards the elevator and Kuze asked to stay here. He understands why I want to get away but if I keep doing that then I might have some trouble when I rule. I thanked him for his wisdom and asked if he needed my help with something. He grinned, "Just missed my friend. That's all"
I was waiting by the elevator when Link stopped next to me and said, "One day you will sleep in my bed." I smiled, "Yes indeed when you step down from office and I become Empress that the royal quarters will be mine. So yes I will be sleeping in that bed. The catch is you will not be lying next to me." He gave me an empty expression before he walked off to talk to a council member. We got in the elevator and reached out floor when the other burst out laughing. "That was original" I had enough so I took a bath and called Umbrella fortress to find out if there has been any sort of emergency. There was none so I called Excalibur.
When I came down for dinner. Soren asked if I had visited any clubs lately. I said that I visited a few. Link retorted that as a royal I should know better than to go to such places. I replied that I go there after the floor gave away and zombies popped out. I have the ability to sense their presence. So I go there to see if the place has been compromised or not. Moreover I am a teenager so I take a few minutes to relax and have fun as well. That takes the edge off. That's not against the law. Link nod his head, "I wish you had turned when you were slightly older" I smiled, "That is the wish of everyone but they forget that I had a serious illness that would have claimed my life had I not changed earlier." Link had no clue about this and I reminded him that Batou did mention me going in and out of hospital. One of the guards whispered in his ear and he apologized to me.
He asked me when will I stop mourning and move on with my life. I said I will do that after the zombie apocalypse is stopped. I will go to the Citadel where I can finally have some sort of peace and quiet to cry my heart out and then I will try to find someone worth spending the rest of my life with. Soren asked if he will be a warrior and I said yes. I like men who has the ability to fight. I also like the fact that they can remain calm under pressure. Soren said, "When you are ready I will introduce you to a few in Excalibur that will be perfect" Link said, "Hey a wait a minute. What if she finds someone else attractive." I retorted, "I wouldn't hold my breath. I am not dating you. If you keep pushing me I will marry Oleg and put an end to this debate permanently" Oleg who was on my right straightened himself. Link shut up immediately and focused on his steak.
