Chapter 1180: Making It Right (3)

"Like my daughter says, we do not ever wish to have a future where you and your family completely cut ties with Birchan, but if it ever must happen - either because you feel you have outgrown our stable corner of the world or because you simply wish to be completely free - I want to ensure that at the very least, you think of this country fondly.

I can only hope that where I have erred the others inside of the Queendom have succeeded; I hope that the friendships you have forged with both Duchesses, with the Magistrate, and with all of the various other Nobles and rchants end up creating an attachnt to this place.

One can never be too safe nor too shaless when it cos to wanting the best for the collective, and whilst I understand that I am certainly not soone you wish to ever co running to aid, I hope that you can separate the wearer of the crown from what it represents, or from who it represents."

The Queen remained where she was, lounging tiredly in the lavish chair and looking between Rhefia and I before letting out a sigh once again, prompting the Goddess beside her to ’smile’ as she reached over and caressed her wife’s thigh.

"Even if you do not remain, I will still be here, and we have many a people within the city alone that are exactly what my fellow Goddesses are looking for in their ti of boredom. So go and do as you please and don’t regret it; I know you care not for us at all, Miss Astra, Miss Rhefia, so I won’t hold onto a faint hope that that might change."

Her bluntness as she practically waved us off verbally was completely at odds with the hopeful and sowhat pleading tone that both the Deerkin were taking, and because of that I felt a little... better, even if I really did lack any sort of reverence for her after what she had allowed to happen.

"Moving onto the next part, we - or more specifically my sweet wife and our daughter - have decided that the Princess and her wife should enjoy a relaxing, quiet vacation away from the city whilst the Princess Consort is pregnant, so as to inspire good feelings into both her and her unborn baby.

For at least the next month and a half they shall enjoy this vacation funded entirely by themselves secluded from everyone else to ensure they are not distracted by outside noise; during that ti Princess Heria shall work tirelessly on the treaties, agreents and contracts that have suddenly piled up these last few days."

The Goddess’ smile remained as she stared at Rhefia and I, not looking towards the nodding Deerkin Princess nor minding the widened eyes of the Princess Consort, who was darkening in the face as she clenched her teeth as hard as she could.

"Additionally, whilst they enjoy that vacation of theirs, they have also decided to graciously bequeath a suite of gifts thoughtfully prepared for you, Miss Rhefia. Things that most Deerkin of your blood would find quite difficult to source this far south. There are also more than a few gifts that are ant for a more... delicate palate, so to say."

Now she gave

a wink to make sure I understood that those gifts were ant to be ’shared’ between Rhefia and I, and it would seem that this was the straw that broke the Gazellekin’s back as she stepped forwards and let out a sowhat nacing growl.

"You’re EXILING us on our own coin, and now we’re ant to fund gifts for these two?! When was this decided?! Why was I not-!"

"Because, my dear, you have managed to - pardon my language - fuck up quite drastically. You are a petulant, petty, irritating child in the body of a woman who has never once been properly told no and forced to deal with the consequences. Now, kindly shut up and understand that this is for your own good, hm?"

Giselle looked like she had been slapped as the Goddess said that, her harder tone at odds with her still smiling features while those molten gold eyes no longed looked as warm as usual, though that lack of heat wasn’t directed at us.

"I apologize for that, however I will ask if we are all agreeing to these terms? To let... well, calling them ’bygones’ feels disingenuous, however the saying is rather apt; are we letting these bygones be bygones and moving forwards with everything?"

Whilst I personally felt there should be more done for this, Rhefia was the one who needed to make a decision, and after hearing the outburst from the Gazellekin she just took a deep breath and shook her head, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"There is no problem for , no. This has been... a relief, and a surprise. I don’t an to rush, nor sound impatient, but my Queen, would it be possible to head to the Temple of Blades imdiately?"

"We might as well. Heria, those docunts are all in your office already, and until your departure tomorrow at noon more shall be arriving at your desk. Giselle, dear, go to the baths and relax, your only working yourself up and upsetting the baby."

The Gazellekin flinched at that, a mixture of indignance and concern warring on her face before she let out a very heated huff and stord off, ignoring Heria completely and removing herself from the office.

The Princess took a breath before bowing slightly to Rhefia and I, bidding us farewell and wishing us well before she went to follow her wife, which earned a sigh from the Queen as she rubbed at her temples.

"If I had known this would have been this much trouble way back when, I would have pushed her to marry that eccentric girl instead... but what’s done is done. Alright, co, let us remove a relic from the Temple. Duchesses, Magistrate, if you wish to co witness history you may, otherwise..."

Standing up and glancing at the three extra Nobles, the Queen added "And don’t think I wasn’t aware of your little ploy, Leonisa. Bandits would never stumble upon a town that secluded without just a little intervention...
