The Empress was a young, vibrant and beautiful woman, her hair so shiny and flowing and her skin soft and glowing. She was in a powerful position as the Empress of an empire, and she had a special place in her heart for a victorious young General in her command. Sure, she was his superior, and she did enjoy his company of him being around, but she made sure she was his Empress nonetheless. The Empress had a special softness in her heart for the General, and he carried the same for her. But the lesson he would learn after being caught telling her not one little white lie, but two, would never be lost on him. With the two little white lies standing in between her and the General, she had to let him know her displeasure. In the end, and truth be known, she enjoyed it a little too much. Romance and Lies, deceit and forgiveness and a delicate balance between an Empresses feelings and her obligation as a ruler.
