Chapter 80: Hello, emergency?

" Well, isn’t it excellent your majesty?" said Yakov as a genuine smile crept on his face, not the one that said —— ’ I am smiling to flatter you’, kind of smile but the genuine, ’ I am happy and you know it’, kind of smile and it would be a lie if Bree said that she wasn’t caught in it because she was —- damn it she was. She has seen men smile it wasn’t as if it was her first time she saw a man smiling at her, there were all kinds of smiles directed at her —— ’the sleazy one’, ’wanna hook up one’, ’I will see you tonight’ and the most terrifying of all, ’I want to lock you up my doll’ smile but Yakov’s was different it was a smile that he directed at her just because she made him happy.

Simple and reassuring.

Thank God, he couldn’t see the back of her neck with her raven locks cascading down her back or else he would have seen the tomato red crashing wave surging up the back of her neck.

" I don’t see what’s excellent in it," trying to make herself look like as unaffected by Yakov’s smile, Bree lowered her head and turned her attention back to the document that she was reading but she couldn’t even get one word in her head, all that kept flashing in front of her eyes was Yakov smiling at her. What was she even doing, her type was someone like Dion—- heartwarming and charming, not the psychopathic kind, so what was she doing getting all flushed and jittery just because of a smile from Yakov?

" I know but I think it’s an extremely excellent opportunity to take care of Duke Cilantro and everything else that has been troubling us over the time when it comes to him," said Yakov with a smile that has lost the ’ Yakov charm’ already, look at him go. This guy can change a thousand faces in a second and she would get tired of catching them but he wouldn’t get tired of changing them, now he was looking at her all business-like and that was how she knew that he was going to say something serious. " There is one more thing that I wanted to say, your majesty——"

There it was, the shoe drop she has been waiting for.

" I want you to act like you have been acting a few months, that is to say —- lavish, fraudulent, cheater, philanderer, vain—-" and the list went on and on for another ten minutes, even Dion who was trying to make his appearance as insignificant as possible was now staring at the two of them with a gaping expression on his face, quill in hand and ink dropping on the paper in front of him. Bree hoped that the document was nothing important or else they will have to spend another hour working on correcting it before setting it right and signing it, even this magical world didn’t have a quick remedy for what one would call ’messed up documents’.

" Cruel, ruthless, extremely domineering and overweening, and a traitorous Queen——," Bree checked the clock that was on the wall at her right and had to suppress the groan that was lodged in her throat, Yakov was really detail oriented, wasn’t he? He has been gushing about her really good characteristics for the past fifteen minutes and was showing no signs of stopping, just how many synonyms can he even add? She didn’t even know some of those high-class words that he was rattling off. Shame on her should have paid attention in her English classes should she have not?

She didn’t want to tackle or much less interrupt an overly effusive Yakov, so she placed her hand on her chin on her knuckles and stared at him as he described her gallantly. She has to say he was either really upset with the previous queen or he was just a lot courageous with what she will call having bull’s gonads, like he was standing in front of the Queen and calling her ’treacherous’, ’vile’ and what not, he was lucky she wasn’t the previous queen but then again she wouldn’t have been sitting here if she was the old Queen.

" And simply too lost in your own whims, your majesty." Finally, after the twenty-first minute, Yakov concluded his long speech and Bree heaved a breath as she placed her sore hand down and silently stopped the urge to arch her back because that would have been disrespectful.

" Yakov, I do not wish to ask you this but how long have you been suppressing this all?" she asked after she was done twisting in her chair, she needed to calm down and think again but there was a sort of annoyance flashing in the corner of her head, she was not one of those things and yet she had to listen to that lecture!

’Damn you! You Dragon Queen! Come and trade placed with her and listen to these good deeds that you have done!’Bree practically roared in her head as she tried to get rid of the twitching annoyance.

" Not for long just a few months like around eight or nine?" answered Yakov with a pleasant smile as if he did not just drag her through the mud and splashed her back and forth, back and forth and then took her on a trip to the washboard and scrubbed her clean before ironing and roasting her dry.

Given that he has been holding all that for nine months, it was still better than the diatribe she might have thrown at herself if she was in his shoes.

She nodded her head and then looked at Yakov as she smiled with a sort of sweet voice and said, "Oh that was nice of you, I thought I was going to die of praise that you were singing in my respect, first consort."

" I will give nothing less than the very best to you, your majesty," said Yakov as he mirrored her sweet smile.

Dion: "...." Hello, Emergency? I am caught between a tornado and a thunderclap, come and save me quick!
