[color=f6989d]"Such a typical response from you Lord Grey..."[/color] she started as Dolton spoke up and practically called her insignificant. His words stung, a lot, but she had to set him straight. [color=f6989d]"Lord Grey is not making a grab for power. In the absence of Emporer MaxedUltra we as greater beings have a duty to maintain the unity and strength of the empire. It was not my intention to propose a challenge but to state the facts. If one of us cannot or will not take the throne the other must, lest the empire crumble. If anything I would propose that Lord Grey take me as his wife and empress so that we may create a royal line an....[/color] The gravity of her last sentence settled in and she looked back to Lord Grey [color=f6989d]"a-and produce an heir to carry on the legacy of the empire...[/color] Yup, she said that. She seriously just proposed marriage on the spot. It wasn't as if the thought had never occurred to her and well he practically [i]was[/i] the last man on the planet or at least the last one from earth. It was a sound suggestion though right? Assuming that they live here now and there weren't going to be any new players logging in to take their place the empire needed a royal lineage to secure it's power. Yeah that's why she suggested it. At this point Nanami had trailed off and spaced out for a few seconds before realizing all eyes were still on her. [color=f6989d]"Well then, Lord Grey, will you... make me your empress?"[/color] It wasn't that bad a deal right? I mean she was fit and her avatar, looking mostly like her was a rather beautiful sight in her opinion. She cared for the empire as much as he did she thought so he wouldnt risk dissention from her, she would never betray her children, thats what the were to her anyway. Judging from their reactions and judgments from Dolton she probably wouldn't have been accepted by herself. Besides all that it was for the good of the empire so she had to do everything in her power. She stared at Grey intensely awaiting an answer. [/color][@vancexentan]
