Snippet #1437692

Katt gave a quick look towards Tasha, and hoped her sadness didn't show to much.
"I heard of them once before from my old ruler." she looked back to the lead alien, who seemed to be looking at her funny. "I can't seem to remember what we were talking about at the time....my memories are stuck on the bad."
She frowned thinking again. "Maybe it was something bad that we were talking about....or at least my ruler viewed it as bad." Then her mind settled on the right memory, and her ears perked up a little.
"Yea, that was it....my ruler mentioned a race that was going from planet to planet. They would claim peace, and would convince the planet's to sign a treaty with them. However, once you signed the treaty, they viewed you as subjects to their top ruler...which I'm guessing is this 'Imperial Majesty, the Empress of Yifferia Prime'." she looked back to Tasha the lead aliens look making her feel uncomfortable. "At least that's how my ruler worded it. She may have twisted the truth, around that same time she was trying to pass a law that would make it to where our planet would no longer have anything to do with other planet's." her ears lowered again, despite everything she missed talking to her old ruler "We had little dealings to do with other planet's to begin with, the last ruler had passed a law to start trade with other planets not even five years before she died." her ears lowered more, the death of that ruler had been hard on her.
"That had been my idea, I had been surprised when she passed it.....and then when my si- uh the new ruler wanted to over ride it, I debated against it." she lowered her gaze, she had almost let slip something more dear to her heart than anything else "I was sent away for my troubles." Katt looked away, but kept her gaze to the ground, she didn't want to look at the lead alien anymore. She cursed herself for almost saying what her relation to the current ruler of her planet was. Then she remembered the promise she had made to the ruler who had died, and cursed herself again.
I'm sorry mother, I couldn't keep that promise.....sister changed somehow when she took over, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Then she realized she had babbled, and felt shame. "Sorry, you probably only wanted to hear about the Yifferians. I ended up going on about laws and rulers."
