" She is bringing that maid along with her?" Yakov was soone who liked things under his control, it would be wrong to say that he was a total control fanatic but at least he would like to know what was happening in the palace and why. But this ti neither did he know about Harley being invited by the Queen to follow them to the territory of Duke Cilantro but he also didn’t know why she was bringing that woman with them. Was the Queen planning sothing and if she was then what did she have in her head? What was she thinking that he had no idea about?
" I heard it from the guard who is responsible for guarding the servants’ quarters, he said that one of the Queen’s knights ca and announced that the Queen wanted Harley to tag along the latter wanted to oppose it but under the order of the Queen she had no choice but to agree with what the Queen ordered her to do." Even Aileen was surprised that the Queen was willing to bring Harley along with her, though he had no idea why the Queen was letting Harley off despite all the offences that she keeps on committing he knew that the Queen had no good feelings toward Harley, so her bringing that woman along was simply out of his understanding. " I did try to find out why the Queen suddenly made this sudden change out of nowhere but looks like no one knows about it, the Queen just woke up and chose to co up with the plan to do sothing like that."
" No, you are wrong, the Queen might be impulsive these days but even her impulsive actions have so aning behind them," said Yakov as he closed the book he was reading and threw it on top of his luggage. " I believe that’s this ti even though the Queen is being impulsive she has sothing serious going on in her head because she is a wise woman despite all her flaws. If she can find out about my plan and everything included in it then only fools will think that she is being impulsive right now," he tipped his chin at the books that read ’ Defence and offence—— a play on psychology,’ before adding, " Don’t be one of those fools, Aileen."
"Forgive , master."
" Aren’t you guys being too much?" Bree stared at the heavy poofy dress that was twice heavy as her entire body weight and looked at the ladies in waiting. " You have to be kidding , the first teleportation gate is three days drive from here and you want to dress in sothing this heavy? What am I going to do if I have to protect myself?"
" But this is according to the decorum, your majesty," answered Lady Agard as she recited the rule six hundred and forty of the Empire’s rule book. " The Empress of the country needs to dress up majestically when going out as for protection, she will be protected by the knights in armour who swore loyalty to her."
" I appreciate the sentints but no," if Lady Agard was stubborn then Bree was even more stubborn she was the one who has to suffer throughout the entire ti there was no way she was going to wear sothing that puffed out and heavy. Ignoring the velvety red dress with the heavy erald jewels and everything attached to it, Bree looked around the wardrobe and finally chose a simple white with golden and red embroidered Tudor gown with black skirt farthingale, this was the only thing that was simple enough for her to wear outside, even though the dress was nowhere as comfy as the one that she wore in modern tis while travelling, she had no other choice damnit!
" Your majesty, you cannot wear that dress," said Lady Agard but Bree simply rolled her eyes and threw the dress at her, with her quick reflexes Lady Agard caught it at once. " Why can’t I wear it? Do you want to wear that heavy gown while travelling in this heat? I will get rashes on my skin."
The head maid opened one eye and said calmly, " You are a dragon, your majesty."
Ahem.
Bree pursed her lips and imdiately glared at the head maid who has been silent for so long but was now speaking up out of turn. " I know what I am but I want to wear that dress so you might as well dress up in that."
The lady in waiting exchanged a look with each other and finally gave into Bree’s stubborn demands, they knew that even if they were to stand here and argue with the Queen all day, she wouldn’t listen to them, so with a sigh that was filled with disappointnt and anger, the lady in waiting took the dress from Lady Agard and started helping Bree in the lightweight dress.
However, they didn’t hide their disappointnt, especially the head maid who dragged Bree to a corner when she was done dressing up. " Your majesty, you still have ti why don’t you change into that dress?" She pointed at the velvety dress with her chin and Bree’s brows scrunched up. " Why are you being so adamant about wearing that dress, does it has so kind of good luck charm attached to it?"
The head maid rolled her eyes and said, " Your majesty, that maid is following you, isn’t she? Surely, she will dress up in an eye catching way to make sure that she can trample on your head."
Only now did Bree understand why the Head maid was so adamant about her dressing up in that velvety dress, she wanted her to dress as if she wanted to impress others. She smiled and patted the head maid on the shoulders before saying, " My dear head maid, if I was to dress up so extravagantly then people will talk behind my back... and do you think that I need to dress up to suppress that maid? I am the Queen of the Empire and she is soone who works for , if I have to dress up so gaudily all to suppress that maid while she is dressed in a simple outfit then I am afraid I will lose even if I win."
With her hair carefully thrown behind her back into a cluster of curls, Bree raised her head and looked at the head maid, " As the Queen of this Empire, I do not need to dress up all because I want to suppress a little maid, my aura as the royalty should be enough to that."
" Firs Consort, you are here already?" Though the plan that the system ca up with was put on hold for a short while, Harley wasn’t deterred in fact she was even more motivated to take everything away from the Dragon Queen. Since Yakov was the one who ca up with such a perfect plan to take the Queen down last ti, surely he can do the sa thing again? As long as she charms him right back and raises his favourability then she will be able to get her hands on both the throne and the n!
Yakov was reading his book when he heard Harley’s voice, his wolf peeled its upper lips back in disdain as if he couldn’t believe that its human counterpart actually chose soone this disgusting to be with them but he said nothing, instead, it retreated even further inside Yakov ignoring the woman who was trying to get close to him. " Miss Harley, I am surprised that despite the short notice you managed to co so early."
What he ant was that he was annoyed by her appearance so suddenly but Harley took it as if he was praising her after all in the book it was ntioned that Yakov liked those who were punctual and knew how to follow and obey the rules written down in the history. " I was surprised too, but I knew that I have to show up on ti, that’s why I couldn’t do much, even getting ready was such a hassle, I just threw on whatever I saw in my trunk."
Despite what she said Yakov could see that she was wearing a well-ironed pink dress which matched her silvery hair perfectly, with frills and bows attached to it, if anything it made her look even more delicate and soft than she was —— there was also a sheen coat of lip butter on Harley’s lips and Yakov’s mouth curled up. She just threw whatever she found eh?
Though he knew that the girl was lying he didn’t call her out on it, he simply suppressed the disdainful smile and said pleasantly, " Is that so, Miss Harley? But you still look really nice despite getting ready in a jiffy."
Harley’s face lit up when she heard the ding in her head and watched her favourability score of Yakov go up! Finally, it was finally going up!
