Storm was quiet.

"Tell me, don't be scared, I won't do anything to them anything." Juno assured him with a smile.

"All of them, but they started it first," Storm said, pointing at the servants making herbs.

"We received orders from the Empress herself to torture this smelling street brat and then, she gave us permission that we can hit him as we like pissy miss," the head woman making the tea herb said with a smirk. They are all acting base on the instructions on the Empress, that boy hasn't seen it all, his is just the beginning, he will wish for death soon.

"Oh, I see, the Empress again," Juno mused and went over to meet her, "Sorry again, what did you say again?"

"I think you heard me perfectly well," the woman said, crossing her arms around her.

"Not about the Empress giving you a go ahead to punish this cute boy, but about the last two parts."

"You mean the pissy miss?" The woman asked and then smiled, "That's what you are."

"You shouldn't have called me that," Juno said and forcefully kicked the pot of herbs out of the fire, and made it pour directly into the body of the robust woman.

Her shout and screams attracted everyone in the palace and the Emperor with Warlord Emera left what they were discussing and rush to the scene when they both heard the scream. They both saw what was happening.

"What's going on here?" The Empress Rose and Emperor Ariadne asked at the same time.

The servants there started pouring cold water on the woman screaming.

"She poured the tea herb pot we were preparing on her," one of the servants answered.

"Wait a minute, who is she?" Juno asked, pointing at the screaming woman on the ground.

"Juno, that's the woman taking care of all the herbs in this palace," Warlord Emera said, pinching the bridge of his nose, he was embarrassed once again.

"Oh, I didn't know that, I thought she looked like the woman who stole my mother's Jewel and ran away," Juno said, going to meet the woman, knee down beside her and then proceeded to press her neck on the pretence of helping her.

"That doesn't give you the right to touch any of my workers," Empress Rose said. "For touching them, I shall have you flogged 100 strokes of cane."

"My Empress--" Warlord Emera began to say, trying to plead with the Empress but got interrupted by his daughter.

"Just because you have the title of an Empress doesn't give you the right to treat others like trash, you told them to beat him, right," she said pointing at Storm and went to meet the Emperor pointing and touching his stomach with her index finger. "They don't have the right to treat him like that, you are the Emperor for crying out loud, use your goddamn fucking brain the Creator gave to you."

There was a brief silence after Juno's little speech.
