Gen nodded. “Yes that would be fine. I have a number of bedrooms in my private chambers. For you and your guest” She smiled insincerely at the Ceaser. She turned to Irulan. “You’ll stay too. You may also come” Irulan nodded. “Yes Madame” |

Drake shook his head. "No..something is going wrong in Serdio, I can sense it." Drake mumbled and ran out of the gardens, leaving the Caesar in Ivendell. He had to hurry back to Serdio. |

Ivendell was a place of decadence. Since Meria had vanished, the city had fallen into a decline. Decline marked by a great deal too much money, and too little to do. The city was populated with nobles, and the elite bourgeois who escaped the Merian destruction. They created their own entertainment, in a city that looked inward. Gen spent most of her days discussing petty grievances between petty nobles. On this particular day, she lounged in the great throne of Ivendell keep, while some count accused some Lord of cheating him out of a trifling small amount of money. She day dreamed while they each eloquently made their cases. This was what the later years of the Kenjikan Empire, under the rule of the Malky’s had been like. Decentralization. Even in a city this small it seemed more and more difficult to keep a tight hand on the nobles. Gen, who had commanded a far greater empire in her day, had trouble administering a city. And her parents, who had fallen again in love where too wrapped up in them selves to remember her. She stood and waved her hand. “I will be alone” she said. She gathered up the yards and yards and yards of skirts that characterized the Eden style of dress. She felt overly adorned. Every way dimonds could be worked into her gown, they were. Her black hair was swept up, and she wore an elaborate headdress. She stormed through the lattice gate, and into the Satan corridor that led to the smaller lobby, which split into offices and her private suits. She chose the latter, and marched into her rooms. She nearly ripped the headdress off and washed her face of the ceremonial makeup she was required to wear. It would take an hour to disrobe, so instead she gathered up the yards of narrow skirts, trains, petticoats, etc., into her arms and marched out of her rooms again. She took the elevator up to the rooftop conservatory, and seated herself in a chair. She sighed. What a pathetic existence she lived. Her black hair fell to her bare shoulders. She slouched. She would call for tea in a few moments, but not right now. |

Ivendell was amazing to Drake, who had not seen such a place in many months. He was in awe as he stumbled to the keep, hoping to converse with Gen. Shayaateen would be helping Zize pack, and soon the trio would go to Hevana to get settled. Shayaateen would be serving as Ferdinand's advisor, as well as his own. When he reached the entrance, he called for the guard. "Take me to her ladyship, Gen please." |

Gen was nearly napping when the ding of the approaching elevator woke her. She prepared to be very cross to the guards. The doors opened and has her mouth twisted, in preparation for sharp words, then she saw her uncle. She rose, and as she did she jingled. This caused her to collapse in a flurry of white silk and diamonds, sobbing. |

Drake rushed out of the elevator following his neices collapse into sobs. Drake never liked to see people crying. It tore him to peaces. He leaned down to Gen, and used his hand to raise her head up gently. Softly, he whipped the tears from her delicate cheeks. "There there darling, you do not need to cry.." He cooed. |

“Oh uncle” She sobbed. “Its horrendous. I hate it here. There is absolutely nothing to do.. and its all so difficult now.. and I’m so very tired. It seems that no matter how much I sleep, I’m always so tired. Its all so tremendously gaudy and inappropriate." That's what had caused her to cry, the jingle of diamonds on her gown had caused her already strained nerves to collapse. For those diamonds had reminded her how absolutely miserable she was in all the luxury of Ivendell. |

"Nothing keeps you here," Drake reminded her. "you only stay here because you feel it is your duty. No person should be subject to such a caged place, even if it is their duty to rule it. You should take a break..perhaps go be with your family. I'm sure it would make you happier.." |

“My family is here” She said. “My father whom I only know through history books, and my mother whom I don't particularly like or know.” She sighed. “I know longer wish to be Prime Minister of Zelpha” She stood, gathering the folds of her long white gown. Her hair fell on her shoulders in waves, and as she held up her chin, she looked like a very young goddess. “My term is almost over always. I will resign” She turned to Drake, and smiled. “Perhaps I will come and visit you, but for the moment, I have to go fill out the necessary paperwork for my resignation. Good Day” And she walked to the elevator, and left Drake alone in the conservatory” |

Drake couldn't help but give a very weak smile as his neice walked away. Such power and strength for a woman of such stature. Drake admired her, for her skill in the diplomatic tongue, her dashing good looks inherited from both the Zhengs and Meccas..and so much more. "I'll head out now..I guess I need to catch up on some work back home." When the elevator returned, Drake once more boarded it. It slowly went down, and with another ding it had opened and Drake was once more heading home. |
