Title: Emperor Rating: PG Prompt: Switch Category: Up to 250 words Word Count: 249 Summary: The Emperor visits Tortall A/N this is allowed because it's 6:30 mountain time
Daine watched in awe as the Emperor of Carthak walked to the King and Queen's dais and shook Jonathan's hand and kissed Thayet's.
Rumor had him as a kind man with care for every person, young and old, noble or common. From a mad mage to a man with unmatched power and genius. She watched from a field near the ceremony. The monarch went from noble to noble shaking hands and even pulled a gold Thak from behind a very young Lianne's ear.
Daine's smile disappeared when the princess proclaimed that he had to meet her Aunt Daine, the Emperor smiled and let the 6-year old lead him to the side of the yard.
To her surprise the Emperor leaned against the fence and sighed “Thanks Mithros I'm away those from crazy nobles,” he stared at her with deep brown eyes, then extended a hand, “I'm Numair,”
“Daine.”

Oh my gosh, I love this concept! So wonderful! It would make a great longer story to explore, although I don't know how you would get Numair on the throne unless you just assume he was born in to the Imperial family instead of being himself. Nice writing too!

The plot bunnies are breeding like rabbits in my mind (which they are). This one might take awhile since I have like 3-4 full story ideas in my loony mind.
