"Take her to the prison," Hurijaa yelled at a guard.
Julian was a bit surprised, but he didn't make it evident.
Instead, he exchanged one last glance with Rehul. One that said:
'Calm down, I know what I'm doing'
The guard took Rehul away, forcefully by the way, almost hurting her.
But she was strong. Being a commander, being handled roughly was the least of the things that could pull her down.
The guard, with Rehul's hands firmly clenched in his, took her away.
Rehul tried to make her expression indifferent. And it worked, by the way.
Now only Julian and Hurijaa were remaining.
When Julian had brought Rehul to the empress, he had made it seem like a struggle. He actually, beforehand, told Rehul to act like she was fighting free.
She did so on their way here, struggling and wriggling her feet as he held her just a bit above the air.
The empress had been standing on the verandah of the tall building she stood, one of the about three or four buildings remaining on the planet.
She wasn't too bothered with the destruction, as they were quite little in population and most of the planet's weapons were stored underground.
She was instead bothered with the lives that were taken.
So when Julian had landed with Rehul, facing him, she had commanded he bring her inside.
Which he did.
And then the next word she had said was:
'Take her to the prison!'
Julian was expecting that. He wanted to go gentle on this.
If he took Rehul and went away out of the planet, he would miss out on getting some gadgets and spaceships, as that had been his main reason for coming here.
Hurijaa, still lewd dressed, turned to face him.
They were alone and Julian, even though he had decided when he smashed Rehul at the old spaceship that he was tired, now wasn't that tired.
But then, he wasn't fucking Hurijaa, alright. He just wasn't in the mood now.
His mood had shifted.
What he now wanted was to find a way to save Rehul and get out of this hornydamned planet.
Hurijaa perhaps wasn't playing to his beat, she was face to face with him now, her large breasts meeting his face.
More of clapping, actually.
Paat!
Paat!
One at his left cheek (face cheek of course) and the other to his right-hand cheek (still face).
Julian suddenly pulled back, getting as far as he could from the empress.
The empress didn't say anything after his act, she only stared at him and, pointing to a fancy seat behind the wall, she said to him:
"Why did you waste time?"
Julian knew this was coming. He had been long since anticipating it.
And so, now that the question was at him and the empress was staring at him with intent eyes, he said as calmly and as tone-unwavering as possible:
"I chased her almost to the end of the damn planet, and when we finally reached there, we fought for quite long."
The empress's face started to squeeze into an expression that meant that someone was concerned.
"She almost killed me. The Imperium commanders are normally known for being very fierce and never for once losing in a battle to strangers."
The empress nodded. Of course she didn't know, but due to the fact that Julian was quite an expert liar—a smooth and silk one at this point—she just had to agree.
"We fought for quite long. I thought I would die. You know, she was fighting with insane mercenaries and all, and well, I was only fighting with the little power of mine."
Julian paused and decided to end it; he could honestly lie no more, he might slip.
"To cut the long story short, I finally defeated her and struggled to bring her here."
Hurijaa was serious now. Her honey expression was suddenly away in the brief moment.
It felt anticlimactic.
"So what did you learn?"
Julian sighed, knowing that this was the time to rescue Rehul, this was the time for another lie.
"I want to know if you've gotten enough information from that bastard of a commander that ripped my kingdom apart," Hurijaa exclaimed, and Julian couldn't help but stare in surprise. "Don't worry, I'll give you the honors of brutally murdering her."
"She wasn't the one doing it," Julian lied. "She was being controlled by the Imperium. It was when I defeated her I found out. She's more of a robot and the Imperium are the ones controlling."
"Ridiculous," Hurijaa exclaimed. "Controlled? Pffft!"
"I know I said I struggled to bring her here, but that's not entirely the truth."
'Damn!' Julian said in his mind.
He had slipped.
Slipped?
Well, he slipped in the sense that he shouldn't have said he struggled to bring her here, he should have instead said:
'Almost at the point of me defeating her, she confessed that she wasn't the one doing this. That she was being controlled and sort of programmed and that she knows a lot of the Imperium's secrets and is willing to share.'
'Shit!'
The above should have worked just fine.
Well, he decided not to blame himself, as it would change nothing. Instead, he would try to turn this around.
"Well, during the struggle, she confessed to having valuable information that she would be willing to share. I would have killed her, even against your wish, because I was so angry, but then I thought that you must want information."
The empress held her large breasts and pressed them together.
Julian felt it odd, but he watched, expecting the worst.
But suddenly she stopped and, with a serious face, looking at Julian, said:
"Well, I guess we shouldn't kill her. She might be useful to gain information."
Julian nodded in the affirmative.
"Who knows, she might know when the next invasion will be."
Hurijaa nodded in the affirmative.
And then, silence.
Julian felt uneasy.
He was expecting the empress to start her horny and sex-craving act again, but seeing her not doing so, he grinned behind his helmet.
He instantly stood up now.
This was his chance to get away.
It was not that he didn't want to fuck the empress, it was just that, he needed to think.
"Lemme go to my room, I guess."
He stood up.
He took a step but then didn't realize that Hurijaa was already biting her lips.
Julian took another step, and then, it seemed like a flash of lightning.
The movement, that is.
Whoosh!
The empress was in front of him, face back, bending down a bit, large sexy ass facing him.
Julian's length suddenly rose and he acted to be surprised, still standing at the spot though.
"Wha—" the words broke off.
"Let's continue from where we started," the empress said softly.
