Katernicus Voloprithey, was known as a woman of class, and moral value. Of course there was always more to her, but most never saw this. Secretly she had been thrilled when she heard of the Emporers passing, and had begun her speech to persuade the people to elect her. She was female, and to her that meant she had more power and sass than any of the other members in the Senate. Being the only female on the Senate, she usually had something suave about her. Katernicus made her way down to the place which the debate would be held. She didn't yet know who she would be facing, but she knew that she would beat them down, and win the peoples love, and votes. After all, who could be the better mother of an Empire, than a woman. She went over her lines in her head of what she was going to say, and even if she did have to over elaborate and twist a few things, she would win. Nothing would stand in her way of becoming Empress.
