As days went on since the coronation of Giyuu, he had a new assistant in the presence. It was a yet fond girl whom also seem to have dread in her eyes. She was on her way to the throne room with two guards. They seemed very strict of their job, carrying spears, and covered in black with silver armor. Each carried a sword by their side, and it seem to spook the girl more.
Anxious she was, she was getting elected for her good behavior and task she gets done. Without any reports of trouble, she does such a good job of getting work done, which is why she was elected. Her palms were very sweaty, and she couldn't find a way to calm down. The people arrived at the doors, and as they opened the doors to the throne room, the girl started to coward in fear. The guards waited for the girl to walk forward, but she seem to not find the right to walk towards the Empress of this country.
So since the girl couldn't walk, the guards picked her up by her arms, and carried her there to the throne of the Empress. She was hesitant as she was put down. Seeing such a woman looking down to her was quite the sight to see. Giyuu whom seemed displeased questioned the girl, and ordered her to speak besides stand there silent. Such a voice she thought, and proceeded to open her voice to her.
Aiko- It is a pleasure to be here, my lady. Giyuu- Mmm...so girl....what are your intentions of being my assistant of my palace? What are your intentions for working with me. Aiko- Well since you've heard my report- Giyuu- Yes I've heard, getting things done quickly, and pleasing the people of the district. What of it? Aiko- Well....since I am disciplined enough, I can get some of your papers done in a jiffy, and even take reports of the servants here, and that includes some of the guards who don't take their job seriously- Giyuu- What I'm thinking is that....your not taking this meeting seriously. Aiko- Excuse me?... Giyuu- I get your hard working, but how hard workative are you? I need someone who can fill in my place when I'm gone, and hold meetings with such wisdom, and please some of the people and their Financials. Aiko- Well I- Giyuu- And I need one person who can actually speak well without stuttering, or talking nonsense...... Are you that sort of person? Aiko- Well yes, and no- Giyuu- And what do you mean by that? It's a yes or no question, either you do, or don't. Aiko- Well as I said, yes and no- Giyuu- What I find in what you say is complete nonsense. Aiko- But madame...you said I could be required this job, so I can- Giyuu- I said I could require you, that's why I called you hear, but now I think of it......I don't think you can be required of this kind of job. Aiko- But madame....I can show you back at the district house....I can show you, and prove to you I am worthy of being your assistant- Giyuu- What your proving infront of me, is that your very desperate, and nerve-wracking in a situation like this. I don't need a woman who cowards in fear, and covered in her own sweat. Aiko- But please....must give me a chance- Giyuu- Guards...send her away, and place her back into the Gyoko house where she can get back to her work. Guards- Yes master.
The guards took the girl away as the girl was shouting for Giyuu to give her a chance to prove of her hard labor. What he did was ignore the girls whines, and then took off to his room. He was followed by some of the maidens, and guards for protection. As he made it to his room, some of the maidens hurried away to they're. He sat infront of his mirror on his desk, and took out his pins in his hair.
He felt such relief, and removed his make-up feeling much more relief it was off. Then he brushed his hair, and changed into more comfortable clothes from his wardrobe. Then as he got changed, he walked back out, and went to his bathroom to get ready for bed. As the stars started coming, so did the bright moon. He was done getting himself ready for bed, and looked out of his window to see the district glow from such a sight.
All lanterns brighten up, and more customers arrived here and there for the food, entertainment, and to rent a room for travel. He took a breather, and headed back to his bed where he opened his blankets up to get in. They were very soft, silky, and smooth to the touch. He kept one light on for him to see in the dark whenever he needs to use the restroom. Today was quite tiring for him, and so was the girl that was very desperate for this job.
It irritated him more of when the girl came to his thought. So eventually he went off to slumber. It was quiet, and peaceful just as he liked it. The guards stood at his door still, and quiet for no intrusion. As the night settled off, so did Giyuu and his sleep of one peaceful serene night.
