Volu 5.2Chapter 12
"Ah"
I never imagined Queen Sisi's guest was Veirya It was awkward when our eyes t. Veirya ca out from the dining hall and scanned the ladies-in-waiting around before fixing her eyes on . I had no idea what to say.
"Should I greet her, or should I salute her with the sa level of respect as given to the Queen? Or does Veirya have sothing to say to ?" I pondered.
Veirya didn't give a chance to reach a conclusion, nonetheless. I believed that I processed and pondered things fast, but Veirya's patience ran dry even faster. She walked off. Queen Sisi remained in the dining hall even after Veirya left. The ladies-in-waiting tensely regarded each other. The dining hall was dead silent as if there was no one present. Or, perhaps, there was an angry Queen who was inside the dining hall, looking to vent on soone for so therapy. I didn't know what Veirya and Queen Sisi discussed. But nevertheless, it didn't seem harmonious. Unlike last ti when Queen Sisi didn't hesitate to hug her warrior despite her being covered in blood, Veirya apparently disappointed Queen Sisi this ti.
I took in a deep breath and squeezed through the crowd to head to the dining hall. I knocked on the door. I heard the sound of Queen Sisi knocking on her glass. I surmised it was her indication for to enter.
I entered the dining hall. Queen Sisi was still sitting on her master seat. She fiddled with an exquisitely carved fork, appearing to be deep in her own thoughts. I went to speak, but she swiftly made a hush hand gesture: "Wait, my little doggy. Be quiet for now. Be quiet for now. I'm serious. I'm thinking. I'm thinking about sothing very, very important. Serious. Don't speak Well, you completely derailed my thoughts. So, what is it now, Little Doggy?"
I doubt any sane person would've been able to handle Queen Sisi's abrupt change of mind Wearing a helpless smile, I expressed, "Your Majesty, I wanted to report to you since my foot has healed. Thank you for taking care of ."
"I'm not blind. If you could walk here, it's enough proof that you've healed, isn't it?" Queen Sisi grouchily glared at . Then, she threw aside her fork and got up. She irritably scratched her head and muttered to herself, "How could I be so foolish. Damn it. I shouldn't have sent her, but I don't have a better candidate at the mont, do I? Aaaahh, darn it. There are usually always people around , yet they're all rubbish bins. Not one of them can be relied on when I need them."
I cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, should I or should I not ask why exactly you are so frustrated?"
I had no way of guessing what her issue. I didn't know the contents of her discussion with Veirya. I knew even less about what happened during my ti off to heal my foot.
Queen Sisi shook her head: "Nothing. It's just that my plan will have to be delayed. I take that back. It can't be enacted now. I have no one loyal and reliable enough to take up the most important post at the mont."
I was curious what the post was. My brain wildly sent hints, telling to take up the job. It was an opportunity from the heavens. Queen Sisi needed soone loyal and reliable. Why couldn't that person be ? Didn't that an that I had a legitimate reason to leave under her orders? As long as I could leave Queen Sisi, I could ensure that I could complete the task she assigned . I could take Leah along with , which would perfectly fulfil my promise to her. I could stay by her side henceforward; I wouldn't have to wake early and return late, either. Thus, I asked, "Your majesty, what is it about?'
"Little Doggy, you're asking too many questions. Since when did dogs ask their owner so many questions?"
Queen Sisi's dangerous smile hinted to that I had gone too far. She was annoyed, and patience wasn't her forte. Consequently, I shut up. I tried to read her. I had no clues that could help figure out what was on her mind. Rather, perhaps it was better to ask Veirya what happened. It would be much simpler to get Veirya to spill sothing than Queen Sisi.
I made a small bow. I knew that the smartest decision in that situation was to get out of there and fast. However, I had sothing I had to do. Queen Sisi stood at the window with her arms folded, presumably continuing her contemplation of whatever it was. I was hesitant to speak for it most certainly wasn't the appropriate ti to. If I didn't, though, how would I face Leah? Should I have just waited?
Noticing still standing there, Queen Sisi looked over and frowned, "Do you have other business? Little Doggy, I hope you have sothing that can cheer up to say. How co you've beco stupid after breaking your leg from your fall? You should be very clear what you should do in this circumstance, yet you're still here. You best say that sothing that amuses ."
"Truth be told, it will not make you laugh. Rather, it is a request I wish to make of you." I checked her response before elaborating, "I apologise, Your Majesty. I know that this is not the right ti to make a request, but sotis, once you miss it, you will no longer have the chance. I hope that you can help Leah settle down. She is lonely at the mont. I hope to give her sothing to do. Allow her to stick with , or you can allow to go and resolve the problem so that Leah and I can leave."
Queen Sisi snickered: "Really now? Little Doggy, you sure are quite amazing, huh? You're providing with options now of all tis? Why do I have to choose? You're only my prisoners of war. What right do you have to be negotiating conditions with ? All right, give a reason for why I must choose."
Queen Sisi walked up to . I didn't avert my gaze on her. I looked straight into her heterochrommia eyes and replied in a quiet voice, "Because that painting."
"I already took care of you."
"I ant your attitude toward it. You and your father seem to have had a good relationship. My situation with Leah is the sa. I am sure you understand how Leah feels."
Queen Sisi fell into a silence. She scratched her burgundy hair before replying, "Geez, Little Doggy, your brain is annoying , especially right now. Get out now. I'll do sothing but, right now, get out."
