"It's just a bit of touching. It won't hurt," Gwen teased.

Sitting up, the Empress's white hair fell off her shoulders as she rubbed her eyes.

Gwen looked up and away as she said, "It's going alright."

Narrowing her eyes, the Empress said, "You didn't, Gwenneth!"

Gwen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's the easiest way to show them who's in charge!"

Sighing, the Dragon Empress rose and touched Gwenneth's shoulder.

"If you don't know how to follow orders, how can they?"

Gwen, who was staring at the ground, looked up at her Master. "I'm sorry."

The Empress shook her head. "You're still too used to my mother's ways of strife and conflict."
