The morning on Amphoreus was quiet, the kind where sunlight spilled across marble balconies and the air smelled faintly of seawater carried in from the Eternal Land's coasts. You and Hysilens were together again, enjoying the sort of closeness that had lately become all too natural between the two of you. She leaned comfortably into you, her presence always a mixture of warmth and strange coolness, the water inside her faintly rippling with every quiet laugh the two of you shared. From anyone else's perspective, it looked like the perfect picture of harmony. A knight and her Deliverer simply enjoying the day.

But, unbeknownst to you both, sharp blue eyes were watching from a balcony above. Imperator Cerydra, tea cup poised elegantly in her hand, tried her very best to maintain her Empress-like composure. She muttered to herself in her grand, lofty way: "Hysilens and Deliverer truly do get along well… though perhaps a little too well." Her regal mask wavered as she leaned forward, her curiosity betraying her. What she saw made her choke mid-sip. Through that peculiar "window" in Hysilens' stomach, the one filled with sea-water that always shimmered with ethereal light. There floated something that most definitely wasn't supposed to be there. White, cloudy shapes drifting about like awkward little jellyfish.

The silence of the Eternal Land was broken not by waves, but by Cerydra sputtering into her cup, trying desperately not to lose her composure. "By the Titans' decree…! Don't they feel embarrassed at all? It is still early in the morning, and already… feeding the fish?!" she hissed under her breath, torn between outrage, disbelief, and just barely suppressed amusement. Her crown tilted as she pressed her palm to her forehead, cheeks betraying a faint crimson glow. "Why in the stars' name do they not find something to cover it… at least some dignity, if not propriety…"

The confrontation came sooner than you expected. One moment, you were enjoying a gentle stroll with Hysilens, her hand brushing against yours, her laughter spilling like a soft tide, and the next, the grand doors of the imperial hall slammed open with a thunderous crack. Out marched Cerydra, robes swishing with imperial flair, her crown catching the sunlight in a way that made her seem every bit the Empress she claimed to be. Only this time, her regal composure was undercut by the unmistakable twitch at the corner of her mouth, as if she couldn't quite decide whether to scowl or burst out laughing.

"Deliverer!" she barked, her crown gleaming in the torchlight as though it had grown sharper edges. "I demand an explanation. What in Amphoreus's drowned depths did you do to my knight?!"

Hysilens tilted her head, water shimmering faintly in her stomach window, and looked down at the drifting particles as though noticing them for the first time. Then she glanced back at you, lips quirking into the faintest, knowing smile. "Ah… so that's what she means. My dearest Deliverer, it seems we've… left traces," she said softly, in her lilting voice. Her cheeks colored faintly, but she still held your hand, refusing to let go despite the Imperator's glare.

You blinked, unsure if this was some new imperial code you'd missed. But Cerydra wasn't done. She jabbed a finger toward you with all the drama of a general ordering a charge. "First you two parade about like besotted doves, and now this? Not only have you sullied her dignity, you've polluted her aquarium! Do you have any idea what it looked like from my balcony? My poor eyes! Morning tea has never been so treacherous. 'Fish food,' I thought. But no, no, it is worse than fish food. It is Deliverer's… Deliverer's—" She cut herself off with a strangled sound, waving her hands as if to bat the words away from her own tongue.

Her voice cracked on the last word, as though even speaking the scenario aloud threatened to undo her imperial dignity. The nearby attendants stared at the floor, fighting valiantly to contain their laughter.

"Well? Speak, Deliverer! Did you… did you overfeed the fish? Was this some absurd new rite of affection between knight and consort? Or are you simply incapable of moderation?" She gestured wildly at Hysilens's belly. "Look at it! A whole school could live off what you've provided!"

Hysilens blinked at her former commander, clearly mortified, the faintest blush tinting her pale features. She muttered, "Imperator, please… must you put it that way…" But Cerydra was unstoppable now, arms flaring dramatically as if addressing an entire court.

"The Eternal Land has suffered wars, sieges, and divine decrees, yet never, never in all its epochs have I borne witness to a knight's stomach turned into a… cloudy reservoir of her lover's mischief!" She jabbed her teacup in your direction. And yet, beneath the outrage, there was an unmistakable comedic edge. Cerydra wasn't truly furious. If anything, she was floundering in uncharted waters. She had faced traitors, armies, demi-gods of flame… but this was new. And so, with her usual regal pride bending into something far pettier, she finally crossed her arms and muttered with narrowed eyes: "Explain yourself, Deliverer. And by the Titans, let your excuse be more convincing than 'she asked me to.'"
