Emperor Kruos sat at the largest window on his spherical ship, a telescope in his hands as he periodically looked down at the dwarf planet Prince Basileus was cleaning up for him.
"My, Prince Basileus has certainly gotten stronger as of recently," the emperor said to Ebari who was standing off to the side with a neutral expression on his delicate features. "Do you think he'll be able to overpower me when he's reached his full size?"
Ebari answered without a thought, "Of course not, sire. You've been honing your ability for nearly a century."
"If he finishes eradicating this planet in less than a week, I have no choice but to go down there and remind him of his place as my subordinate. Isn't that a wonderful idea, Ebari?"
"A wonderful idea," Ebari repeated, emotionlessly. The elf-like alien bowed for his master so he couldn't see the wavering expression on Ebari's face.
