Chapter Sixty One

I looked around, taking in the crowd–more people than I Had ever seen. A smile spread across my lips, the incident with the soldiers at the exit already long forgotten.

Trian took my hands again; his were huge and rough–just as I imagined a warrior’s hands to be. He led me into the thick of Aureonna’s city; people stared–especially women, but the stares weren’t directed at me, but at Trian. “What is that?” I asked, pointing to a group of people gathered nearby. They seemed to be laughing at something.

“It’s a play, a drama.”

“I want to see it.“.

“Of course.”

We weaved through the crowd of excited people, until we reached the front row.

A woman with a silver wig sat on a make–shift throne; her skin seemed to have been painted white. The other woman by her side had a blonde wig on. It took me a moment to realize this was a drama about me the woman in the silver wig was meant to be me, while the one in the blonde wig was portraying Empress Julia.

“Soon, you will lead us to victory. The fate of the Aureonnas rests on your shoulders,” said the one in the blonde wig.

“I don’t know if I’m strong enough–what if I fail?” the one in the silver wig asked, overly dramatic.

“You can’t fail. Do you know what I would do if you fail? I would marry you off like some slut.” She said, rising to her feet, she turned to the crowd. “Who wants to fuck the Chosen?”

People laughed hard.

Trian pulled me away from the crowd, and I clutched my hood as he led me further from the scene.
