Kat was pulled back by the Emperor.  For an instant she felt mortal fear but was almost instantly relieved when he did not lash out against her.  In fact he had seemed amused.  His anger instead turned to the traitorous whore and he moved against her with intense fury.  Though Kat felt she was getting what she deserved she had no desire to see the girl suffer to the extreme.  Her eyes shut tightly as the Emperor began his torturous execution of April.
