The Emperor's Quarters - May 10, 09:00am<br/>
</i></b>​</div></span><br/>The Emperor could feel her unease as she looked him over, undoubtedly his appearance causing her mental distress. Well, this was what she agreed too; it was far too late for objections at this point. And the fact that she was still being so resistant did serve to agitate him a little, the little bit of flesh around his teeth curling oddly into what could only be conceived as a snarl of sorts,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"Being awfully presumptious, aren't you? You assume that by me taking you here, I would even want you as an Empress."</span><br/><br/>Stepping in closer, he then leaned down so that he could look her right in the eyes, adding in a very much threatening tone,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"And even if I didn't, there is no room for a lowly bottom-crawler such as yourself to demand what may or may not happen. You are in my domain now, woman...You had best not forget that."</span>He then paused as he brought his left arm forward, letting her see a writhing black mass start to materialize along the forearm, the very same dark force that had already caused so many others to fall before him,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"In here, my word is law, my will is reality. And whether you have second thoughts or not means nothing at all."</span><br/><br/>It was here that Hotsuma spoke up again,<i>"Hehe...I wouldn't get so worked up man; she's probably the type to sleep around for a quick night of fun. She doesn't know you...But then again, she doesn't have to know that. But hey...Let's make this interesting. Here's what I want you to say..."</i>The Emperor could only listen as his vessel laid forth a plan, a small audible chuckle leaving the Emperor as he replied<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"I'll admit I'm intrigued...I'm beginning to think you might be as devious as I."</span></i>Hotsuma mentally laughed,<i>"Well, we've been working together for a while; besides, she's probably some Tops bitch born into too much money. Would be worth it to see her fall."</i><br/><br/>The Emperor then refocused on Satsuki, lowering his arm as the writhing dark matter seemed to disappear from view,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"After some consideration, I have something in mind. This little tryst shall not have any strings attached to it...However, should you and I Duel one another in the tournament, that will truly determine your fate. It's truly quite simple: If you lose, you become mine...My 'Bride of the Underworld', as you so eloquently put it. If you are victorious, however...This just becomes a distant memory."</span>The nearly-non-existent lips then turned into a sinister grin,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"I should warn you; the other Empresses don't take kindly to competition. But should you become one yourself...You'll find that you'll have power enough to defend against anything they might attempt."</span><br/><br/>Of course, with the way he was talking, he was making it sound like she really didn't have a choice either way. And in a way...She still did, but the prospects were indeed bleak. To win was to earn freedom, to lose was to become enslaved to the darkness.<br/><br/>Regardless, the Emperor seemed satisfied either she might choose to answer and simply finished as he stood even more expectantly, eyes trained on her and never wavering,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"Now then...I believe you had something you were about to do, yes?"</span>
