       Yusuf Ismail Khaliq El-Amin adjusted his dress and took a deep
       breath. On the other side of that door laid the future of his
       country. The future of the country he had fought and killed for.
       The future of Yakmia. The wrong word, the wrong gesture, the
       wrong look could destroy his country before it was even born,a
       nd it was up to him to stand up against Amin Mohammmadi and
       fight, this time in a less literal sense than before.
       Sa'adat walked up to him and adjusted his collar using the one
       hand she still had.
       "Are you ready, Yusuf? It's time."
       Yusuf nodded slowly and breathed out.
       "Yeah."
       "Very good, ser," Santiago responded and opened the door for the
       two of them to walk through.
       "Yusuf Ismail Khaliq El-Amin with his wife Sa'adat Fatima
       Waheeda," a man announced loudly as the two of them walked
       inside with Santiago in tow. They both sat down without so much
       as a glance in the direction of Amin Mohammadi sitting next to
       his very pregnant wife, and Yusuf's little sister, Tasmin
       Izidihar Nateqi.
       Yusuf took another deep breath. Sa'adat and himself were the
       last to arrive, and now they only waited for the queen of
       ZâRhodaia. He had heard rumours of course. He had heard all
       about The Ice Queen, The Whore Queen, and a few even less
       favourable nicknames for the leader of the country. As far as he
       knew, she was tough as nails and cold as the country itself.
       Convincing her would be difficult, but it was a task he was up
       for.

       Ekaterina Nadezhda Valeriya Rozanova, daughter of Aleksandra.
       Empress of the land of eternal winter. The ice queen. Whore.
       Witch. Succubus. She had many names these days.
       She wore black and silver. Her dress was long, the train
       dragging several feet behind her as she walked and her torso and
       left arm was clad in what resembled armor. She looked cold.
       Fierce. Without mercy. But Mikhail knew better.
       He looked upon his wife in awe and she met his gaze with her
       usual determination.
       "They're waiting for you", he said and pressed a kiss to the top
       of her head, careful not to mess up her hair.
       "Trembling in fear?" she chuckled playfully.
       "Quite possibly", he smirked. "Are you going to behave?"
       "Perhaps. I won't make promises I can't keep."
       "Very well."
       He offered her his arm and the doors opened. This was it.

       The room took a deep breath and everyone stood up in unison as
       the queen was announced. Ans as soon as the first syllable of
       her name was said, Yusuf felt his blood turn to ice in his
       veins.
       "Ekaterina Nadezhda Valeriya Rozanova!" the man said, and Yusuf
       didn't even hear the name of her husband. It was her. It was
       Kat. The only woman he had ever loved. The one who made him who
       he was, and the very reason he decided to help free his people.
       There was a ringing in his ears, and he was suddenly furiously,
       uncomfortably aware of how different he looked to when they knew
       each other. There was a long scar stretching from his temple,
       all the way down his cheek and across his lip, distorting his
       smile a fair bit. On the other side of his face, just at his
       jaw, you could make out the top of a burn that covered most of
       the left side of his body. He walked with a cane, and two of his
       fingers had been lost in an explosion.
       A bead of sweat ran down his back as all the memories of the
       woman in front of him came flooding back.

       Silence filled the room as Kat moved to claim her seat, very
       aware of the man next to her. Her Yusuf. Ther love of her life.
       Father of her firstborn child. But she didn't look at him. She
       didn't dare. She was afraid for the first time in so long and
       she honestly felt quite stupid that something so simple would
       scare her after all she'd seen.
       It was like people were holding their breaths as her cold gaze
       scanned the room.

       Yusuf couldn't feel his legs as he sat down along with the rest
       of the room, desperately trying to get Kat to meet his eye. Gods
       in fucking heave, she was about to speak. Hearing her voice
       would ruin him and he knew it. His hand found Sa'adat's and
       squeezed as tightly as he could. She squeezed right back,
       because she knew. Of course she did. He looked at Santiago, but
       nothing about him broke the silent, perfect composure he held
       and Yusuf felt a rage boil up in his throat.
       Had he known? Had Santiago known this entire time who the queen
       was and had just neglected to tell him?

       Kat's eyes finally fell on him. It almost broke her. The years
       of war had not been kind to him. She wanted to make them pay,
       but that would have to wait.
       She averted her gaze and cleared her throat.
       "So," she started, amused at the way some almost seemed to jump
       out of their skin when she suddenly spoke. "I suppose the time
       has come to welcome you all here. My kings and queens. Lords and
       ladies. But I say we save the pleasantries for later."

       Tears burned at the back of Yusuf's eyes, and they threatened to
       break through, but somehow he kept his composure.
       Her voice was the most beautiful thing in all of the world, and
       he couldn't believe he was hearing it again. He remembered their
       last conversation as if it had been yesterday, but he only
       realised just then that he had all but forgotten her voice. His
       eyes once again fell on her face, her wonderful beautiful face.
       She looked different, of course, but that only served to make
       her more beautiful. When they had known each other, she had been
       a girl, and as she stood before him, he suddenly saw a woman. A
       wise, beautiful, radiant woman, who commanded respect as soon as
       she walked into a room.
       Then the moment was soured.
       Amin Mohammadi stood up and took a deep bow.
       "My Queen. You are a vision. If I may, I would like to start
       these proceedings with a few words about the man sitting across
       from me. He tried to rip our country apart and thousands died
       for it. I hope you, in all your infinite wisdom, will see he is
       nothing more than a vain, greedy man, who couldn't be satisfied
       with the throne alone." Mohammadi sat down with a smile and a
       nod.
