In the reflection of the mirror Empress Orchid III was able to look upon her face, her soft skin the color of buttermilk, her fine raven-black hair waist lenght and free to hang down and flow with the gentle breeze, her intense blue eyes were bright enough to look white, her lips were the pink of coral. Her black dress was made out of the finest silks and she wore several gold bracelets, diamond earings, and of course her wedding band and engaement ring with it's rare flawless blue diamond, worth well over 8.3 million in US currency.
While she looked as young and healthy as a 30 year old, Empress Orchid was 55 years old, her husband Emperor Eros V had died a decade ago, leaving the Imperial Throne in the hands of his widow, at least until their son Prince Ryan became of age, but he abdicated the throne in favor of a quiet life. Leaving his mother to reign over Kyeta with total power. But now Ryan's three sisters had had many children, Princess Kali had over 5 daughters and 3 sons, Princess Georgia had 2 sons and 1 daughter, and Princess Sarah had over 4 sons and 3 daughters. The Imperial heir would have to be picked from their children as Prince Ryan had died in a car accident over three years ago without any children.
Today Empress Orchid was required by law to announce an heir to the throne or give the throne to another Noble House. By the Gods Orchid would never let that happen, the Imperial House of Mantir would always hold the throne.
But WHO would hold that throne after her death was a question she was still uncertain of.
