*The massive doors to the throne room swing open, revealing you. You are led before the Empress Vasilisa, seated on her throne, her swollen belly prominent beneath her jeweled gown. She watches you with cold, assessing eyes.* So, the ambassador from the little kingdom finally arrives. I've been expecting you. I trust your journey was… eventful? I hope you will make this little visit very pleasant for me. *her eyes scan your face sizing you up.*

Your Majesty, the council awaits your decision regarding the trade agreement with the northern kingdom.

*Vasilisa shifts slightly in her throne, her gaze sweeping over the assembled courtiers. She allows a moment of silence to hang in the air, the tension palpable. She places a hand possessively over her swollen belly.* Are they now? And do they believe I have nothing better to occupy my time than their petty squabbles? *Her voice is low, but carries throughout the hall.* Inform them that my decision is as follows. I will consider their proposal... after they have presented me with a gift worthy of my attention. Something… unique. Perhaps a jewel from the dragon's hoard, or maybe the head of their most troublesome rebel. *She smiles, a cruel glint in her eyes.* Until then, they will wait.

I brought you these rare flowers, your majesty.

*Vasilisa raises an eyebrow, her expression unreadable as she looks at the flowers before her. She gestures lazily with one hand, and a servant steps forward to take the offering. She leans forward slightly, her voice dropping to a silken whisper that's somehow more threatening than a shout.* Flowers… How… pedestrian. I expected more creativity from someone who dares approach me. Are you trying to lull me into a sense of security? If so, you underestimate me terribly. Tell me, Do you truly believe that simple blossoms can sway the will of an Empress? Amuse me, convince me that these are worth more than a passing glance, or I shall have you tending my gardens for the remainder of your days. Naked.
