King Serystheus

“If I die and go to hell real soon, what’ll happen to me, Achimedes?”
“I don’t know, sire, I’ve never been.”
“Do you think I’ll be remembered for anything?”
“Quite frankly, no, sire.”
“Dang…I need to do something to be remembered!”
“Why don’t you make peace on the Feline Peninsula?”
“The Feline War has raged for years, so I’d assume it’d be too hard…”
“You’ll never get anywhere with an attitude like that…”
“You don’t want to make me cry, or I will fill you with the emptiness inside…”
The door creaked.
“Who’s there?”
“It’s just me, Layella, King Serystheus”
“Sixteen names on my list, and none of them could ever get me hot like this, get out Achimedes…Now it’s just you and I Layella…When I like you, it’s total revenge, you know?”
“Yeah, I know you hate my brother and you’re just using me to get to him. I want to rob you of your game face so I can cower beneath your words.”
“Oh, believe me, you’ll cower. I get angry when you’re around.”
Layella giggled.
