An Upcoming Change

-Chamenopolis, vampire's territory, The great Tartarus castle:

Thalia sat on her throne in her castle, staring out at the gloomy sky. Sebastian, her trusted advisor, stood nearby, holding her legs up as if they were the most precious things in the world.

"What a beautiful day," Thalia mused. "It's too bad that a war is about to ignite here. Good news, though, we vampires can wipe out all of the beastmen population in hours."

Sebastian nodded in agreement. "Indeed, my lady. I totally agree with every statement you just mentioned, however one small issue…"

Thalia raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Sebastian? Speak your mind."

"Can I stand up, my lady? I can't carry your legs on my back for any longer time. I could not deny that I enjoy it, but as a father, a husband, and a son, I should not be enjoying it."
