Chapter 81: Take a nap

Bree stared at Yakov who was smiling at her with that God awful smile of his, it wasn’t anywhere as good as he thought it was because she could sense the anger behind those amber eyes as he stared right at her, maybe wishing he could say some more. Knowing that if she gave him another opportunity the guy would simply go on and on about her great deeds once again, she nodded lightly and said, " You can go and make preparations for our trip all right?"

He nodded as he bowed and walked out of the room maybe he was done with the quota that he came with today because not once did he turn around and said something, anything that will annoy her even further, once he was gone, a dull ache started to throb in her head and Bree had to press it down with her fingers as she tried to alleviate the pain that was drumming in her head. This trip was going to be the death of her in one way or another and surely no one can change her mind about it.

She had never, not even in her wildest imagination thought that she will ever willingly leave the palace with Yakov or anyone else and believe her when she says she has the wildest overthinking streak in the century but now she was going on a trip, a trip that she shouldn’t be going on, God knows what was going to happen to her, she wished nothing bad happens to her because then she will have nothing but regrets piled up in her heart and honestly, she had enough of them to make her last for a lifetime.

" Your majesty," Dion raised his voice, breaking the chain of her thoughts as she opened her eyes and looked at him, the latter blinked his eyes as he pointed to the pile of documents that were in front of her. " You need to finish them your majesty but if you want you can take a little break, a nap time or something, I think you are tired a little bit too much."

No one hated an extra nap time allocated to them, nor did Bree as she jumped to her feet and said immediately, " I will do these by the evening I promise."

Dion must have noticed her eagerness because he shook his head and smiled, " there is no need, though they are important you can finish them by tomorrow but your majesty, please make sure to take a look at the land of orcs, okay? The Lord of that territory is one of your strongest supporters please do make haste while answering his plea or it will surely create friction between the two, he has been writing for two weeks already and sounds impatient."

"I got it," said Bree already walking out of the office, looking over her shoulder she added, " Just send the important one to my room, I will see check it up once I am up from my nap."

"As you wish, your majesty," came Dion’s answer before the door closed behind her.

Bree almost jumped right then and there with joy, finally —— she could finally roll her stiff shoulders and take an afternoon nap. God, she has missed her afternoon nap as much as she has missed her iced Americano, something that was simply non-existent in this world including her afternoon nap but this time she was going to make the most out of it, she promised herself as she did a little skip and walked to her bedroom.

Usually, she would have called her lady in waiting Countess Agard to help her with the corset and whatnot that was tying her down but not today, she didn’t want to listen to anyone fuss, so, she hurriedly untied the strings of her dress and climbed out of it before doing the same to her corset that was tied around her waist so tightly that Bree was sure that her lady in waiting was surely in cahoots with her mates, just look at the way they have tightened the corset, it was as if they wanted her to suffocate and die.

While she was getting out of the dress hopping on one leg as the other got tired in the silky underside of the dress, Bree stumbled and fell on her butt, the mess of her black, inky locks settling on her face as she blew them off her eyes and gazed at the delicate carvings and paintings on the roof of her room, the history of the Dragniere family was inscribed on the roof with every intention of making their history as glorified as possible, Bree was certain that the history wasn’t as half wonderful as they made it look like.

She huffed out a breath and then dressed in her underpants and the frilly top whatever it was called that the women wear under their dress, she scrambled to her feet and then jumped on her four-poster bed, this was going to be fun. With that, she tugged at the curtains of her bed and slept right in. Ah, heavens.

Cian settled back into his couch as he took hold of his wine and sipped on it with red eyes glittering as he stared at the small pool that sat in the middle of the room, that’s right there was a pool in the middle of his room and he liked it very much because that was the one and only thing that the Queen has done for him —— fine, she has only listened to his request of wanting to be as close to the ocean as possible and ordered her aide to do what he asked but at least she listened to him right? That’s what mattered the most.

He curled his fingers around as a tune that has been going on his head for days started to bubble and he took another trembling sip of his wine. No, the queen ordered him not to sing, he cannot sing but if he does not sing then what was left of him? How was he supposed to attract the queen because, without his voice, he was nothing.
