Ning stood beside Shara who seemed concerned. "What did you guys talk about?" she asked.
"About you becoming the Empress," Ning said in a whisper.
Shara jerked her head toward him, surprised that they were talking about her all this time. "Why talk about me? What does any of this have to do with me?"
"Do you remember what the number one reason why your chances of becoming an Empress are low?" Ning asked.
Shara nodded. "Because I'm a nobody," she said. "I might have the bloodline, but there is no army behind me that will help me become the Empress."
Ning nodded. "That is what I'm trying to get you right now."
Shara looked puzzled for a moment, then looked toward the cave. "You want the legion to fight for me?" she asked.
"Yes. And only Romus can accept that," Ning said. "So I talked to them about it."
Shara took a bit to think about it all. "What if he doesn't accept?" she asked.
