I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 45

It is incredible how a group of people driven by ambition and envy lead them to join together to forge a plot, there they were in a private meeting whose sole purpose was to blind the life of the emperor, who believed it was a tribute to his greatness on the occasion of the anniversary of his birth, they had already planned that Estiben would be the one who would stab him in the heart driven by passionate motives, José and the others would not allow any guard to shoot him, so that later he could pardon him, of course the possibility that he would survive a stabbing was plausible, so Dr. Yací would take advantage of the commotion to inject him with cyanide, eliminating him forever. All very simple and effective in the plan, although the execution was altered a bit, this way:

Estiben, caressed the cold dagger that he had kept in one of his pockets, contemplating how Pollux spoke, he could see how he passed saliva down his throat, again and again he imagined himself in various ways cutting his neck to then throw himself to the ground avoiding the retaliations of the guards, it would not be smart to die there without enjoying the triumph, although it seemed eternal the speech of the leader, already as he was approaching the final part that would be the signal to approach to kill him. It was surprising how no guard required him, which proved the size of the conspiracy, it seemed sad to him how such a powerful leader was surrounded by vile traitors, someone so important but so lonely, although the scientist would have put up with it as a boss, but he would have messed with his beloved, his reason for being, with the only thing that matters to him, so at that moment he jumped without thinking as when he made dives in the river, he took out the knife directing it to the throat of the emperor. That throat that seemed like a magnet for his dagger, until Joseph unexpectedly pulled out a gun saying:

-stop there Estiben, if you move I will blow your head off, I will not allow you to harm the leader, your plan is a failure, we worship the emperor and for nothing in the world we will betray him.

To which Pollux, looked at him without expression and also said:

-dumb Estiben, I already knew that you wanted to kill me, I didn't believe that you would be capable, not for being a traitor, but for being a coward.

Then he also took out a gun, shooting six times only at the vise, who, surprised, did not even ask for clemency, and again turned to Estiben:

It is incredible how a group of people driven by ambition and envy lead them to join together to forge a plot, there they were in a private meeting whose sole purpose was to blind the life of the emperor, who believed it was a tribute to his greatness on the occasion of the anniversary of his birth, they had already planned that Estiben would be the one who would stab him in the heart carried by passionate motives, José and the others would not allow any guard to shoot him, so that later he could pardon him, of course the possibility that he would survive a stabbing was plausible, so Dr. Yací would take advantage of the commotion to inject him with cyanide, eliminating him forever.

-I know the name of each one of those who wanted to betray me, and each one of them, as well as their loved ones, will die today, except you who will die after my honeymoon, because your execution will be the first thing I will do when I return from my marriage, and I know you will suffer bitterly imagining how she will be mine, maybe I won't even kill you, maybe I will only turn you into a eunuch, who will watch while we mate with Dr. Yací.

Estiben felt drunk with so much impotence, then he knew he could not lose any more, turning against the emperor with the dagger still ready in his hand, blinded to play it all for everything, just when Pollux was going to stop the aggression with a shot, the doctor hit his arms, deflecting the shots, injuring José, which allowed Estiben to charge him like a bull, using the dagger as a laser fed by his fury, while the metal blade entered the emperor's body, taking the life out of him and spurts of blood that bathed the scientist calming his anger, if it wasn't for the blade breaking, he would have never stopped.

Doctor Yací tried to calm him down, she took what was left of the knife from his hands and put it in the hands of the wounded José making it look like they had tried to kill each other, she did it just in time before the guards came in and Yací said to them: -Help! Jose killed the vise-emperor and the emperor Pollux, which reached to wound him, we tried to avoid it, but everything was very fast and confusing, they were very violent, maybe Jose was under the effect of psychoactive substances, he looked like a madman, thirsty for blood.

Some soldiers took José away, looking as if he was not going to be saved.

The head of the soldiers sat very worried, scratching his head and asked, "And now who is going to be left?

-And now who is going to be in command? There are going to be big wars because of the power struggle, since there is no legitimate leader, perhaps a general will have to establish a military regime? The doctor raised Estiben's hand proclaiming:

-yes there is, here it is, Estiben was the vice president of emperor Rodriguez, who was Pollux' counterpart and as if that were not enough he is the scientist who saved us from annihilation, these arguments are enough for him to be the supreme emperor, even I am supposed to be a kind of widow of the leader Pollux, soon I will really marry my Estiben and he will be the legitimate emperor, well if he wants to.

Estiben looked at her astonished and happy, not so much for the nomination to emperor, but for the marriage proposal, that was what mattered to him, he looked at her accepting and they closed the deal with a sweet kiss, no matter that they were smeared with still fresh blood and the corpses in the hall.

-It's not that simple, Mrs. Yací," the military man interjected, "it has to have the approval of the council of religious and political leaders of both worlds.

-How will we do that Estiben?

-The way modern politicians do it, handing out money and owing favors, what I really wonder is if it is worth it, to take charge of both planets, of course it will allow me to monitor and control them, there are some readings that worry me, some gaps in the equations, if I would like to make a better world, only I am not a politician or even a scientist, I am just a bogged down man with a strange luck, who has triumphed in fits and starts.

-You saved two worlds from destruction and now you have the chance to take over, so you can create a utopia, a paradise where everyone will be happy, especially us, together as one, we will dream in the clouds while we build our golden castles on earth, although you may be right, because just by seeing your beautiful eyes I am happy, I want to have you with you for all my life, no matter if we are rich or poor and what happens to the others, f**k them all, the only thing I want is to be with you, too bad I can't have children anymore, otherwise I would give you thousands, you should invent a way to make me fertile again and if possible something that would rejuvenate us allowing us to love each other since we were young, how nice to make us chaste and then we would deflower each other, it would be something magical, what I wished when I was little that a beloved man would be my first time and not the ugly thing that happened to me.

-Well, Dr. Yací, Mr. Estiben, what do we do," the military man interrupted them.

-Let's not let this still be known while we analyze well the steps to follow, I assure you General that you will be very well rewarded.
