She loved it, the sun, the heat, the people. Sometimes she would even whine and cry after getting married to Shahenshah about going out to play".

Hasan squealed, he loved hearing tales of his mother. After all, everyone only told one thing to him whenever he met them; how much he looked like her.

"What happened next Mama?"

"Abba seems to have forgotten her though." Hasan's face dropped, "He seems to have forgotten me too"

"He loves her to this day, the same way he had loved her before. Its just... an Emperor is never off work. Even after their love leaves them, they have to continue protecting the throne, and the people of the empire"

"That sounds terrible Mama" Hasan cried, "I never want to be an Emperor. I'd rather be around the farmers and the shepherds"
