The next day I was woken up by one of the sultan's servants saying that I was summoned he was just doing his job and I know I shouldn't have been upset because of it but for some unknown reason I just threw him out of a window and because the palace was so massive and we so high up when he landed he crushed on the security guards killing them both and worse still I didn't take any amount of amusement from it I just felt indifferent and I knew before I would have taken some measure of pride in being able to kill the guard from so high up with a servant now it was like walking basically something I did without thinking about it meant nothing to me.
As I entered the breakfast dining room the sultan was posing in his chair trying hard to look natural in the best lighting possible in the room before he realized it was only just me apparently he was expecting someone else.
Sultan:"Good morning son in law is lady Shalu not coming to breakfast I asked the servants for you to request her presence so she may enjoy breakfast with us as she was clearly tired from her trip yesterday and needed to relax which is why she retired to her quarters almost as soon as she arrived" I was almost shocked by the mental gymnastics he was preforming to explain her behavior and visible disdain
Me:"No one informed me"
Sultan:"Then can I trouble you to call lady Shalu?" he seemed so pathetic it would be sad if it weren't so funny his voice practically begging like a parched man in the desert
Me:"I'll see if she is willing"
Sultan:"Thank you, you have no idea how much it means to me that you would do this for me"
I left him to go see Shalu I found that random killings no longer seemed to mean much to me anymore instead thirst for suffering in all of its forms which is why I felt elated at seeing the sultan so desperate for even a glimpse of Shalu to even be blessed with an ounce of her approval I knew from the look in his eyes that he would trade everything for just one kind word from her and because of this I wanted him to suffer for it to bring me joy he was just a toy for my amusement.
Me:"Shalu I have need of you"
Shalu:"Finally I thought you would never ask!" she immediately began stripping her clothes
Me:"Not that just yet I want you to play a game with me"
I explain the situation and what I want her to do at first she was irritated but then she liked it when she found out how it would end.
