My anger hasn’t died down at all as I watch my general’s remains lowered into the ground. In the coffin with him are the treasures he needs to take his soul into the next life, and once a year on the Qingming festival, we’ll return here to bless him. It’s the least I can do for a man who showed as much loyalty to my vision as he did. I will avenge his death. It consumes me. I dream of the boy I will rip limb from limb until there is nothing left. He’ll not be afforded a respectful funeral like this. His soul will wander forever poor and in suffering—I will make sure of it.
I say one final blessing for my general and walk away to leave his family to their private grief. I have work to do, a raid to end all raids to plan. I’m done with the Yi Shu. It’s time to end this war.
I make my way back to my home, an ornate house protected by my elite guards. It’s a place for me to relax and be worshiped by the people I choose to surround myself with. A servant boy crawls to my feet as I walk in through the front door, and taking the shoes I’ve been wearing, he disappears with them. I don’t know where they’re stored—I don’t need to. Another boy appears. He’s walking strangely, and I know why. He was given as spoils to a couple of my men last night after he ruined one of my jackets. It was his punishment. I raise an eyebrow at him as he holds his hands out to take the jacket I’m currently wearing.
“I hope you learned your lesson,” I remind him of his mistake.
“I did, gracious leader. I will ensure it doesn’t happen again.” He repeatedly bows, and I throw my jacket at him.
“Good.” He’s lucky to get any words from me. I don’t normally speak to insignificant people like the slaves I keep for my own personal entertainment.
Striding through the corridors of my house, I pass pictures of my greatest victories, inscriptions of my mottos, and plans for my great, new world that adorn the walls. I surround myself with depictions of my dominion as a daily reminder to everyone of just how powerful I truly am.
After days of anger and mourning, I need replenishment to my soul. I click my fingers at one of the slaves.
“Have a woman brought to my bedroom at once.”
He bows his head and scurries away to fulfill my request.
My dick hardens at the thought. I need to fuck, long and hard. I need to hear screams of pain, and I won’t stop until the whore the man chooses is half dead as I come hard inside her. A perfect ending.
“Gracious Leader.” One of my guards greets me at my door, a piece of paper in his hand.
“What is it?” I scowl.
“We’ve just received this. I think you’ll want to read it urgently. It concerns the boy who killed our general.
