"Oh, calm down, will you?" the Empress said with a click of her tongue. "Being so uptight is so not sexy. I am your Vanguard, yes, and I'd appreciate it if you would stop looking at me with such hate. Now, I would ask for manners from you, but it seems that you're unwilling to do so, so I'll just go ahead and introduce myself unasked. Some know me as the Archfiend Empress, but as you'll be spending so much time with me, you may call me Akina. Consider it an honor."
