Ding!

Hear that? That is supposed to be the notification of my impending expiration date. Yeah guys, not kidding!

The way Princess Cordelia was eyeing me was very similar to the eyes of an executioner in the gallows. She looked as mad as a fly in a fruit jar, with a severe migraine.

Poor Lord Gilbert on the other hand, looked like he had just swallowed the crazy fly of the fruit jar. Seriously, sometimes it pained me to even look at his contorted face. Its as if he was getting grey hairs right in front of my very own eyes.

But you must know that I'm not the kind of person who creates their own storms, then get upset when it rains. However this time, you cannot blame me for being upset with the rain. This adulterous princess was the one who created the storm and now I have every right to be upset with the rain, you get it? So I was not amused with the entire ordeal at all. I might have been the one to unintentionally sour the situation out of proportion, but I was definitely not the one to start the entire ordeal. 

Queen Beatrice let out a little cough to smoothen out the strange atmosphere, "Elizabeth has quite a sense of humour, I see. Very charming." Her tone was very pleasant, though the words sounded more like tacit sarcasm.

Well, it’s not like a person from the feudal era could really appreciate my sense of humour. My only hope was to not get killed because of my awesome sense of humour by the end of the day.

"Yes, Miss Elizabeth indeed has a very unique sense of humour. I must say I am pretty intrigued." Damn it! I don't want you to be intrigued, and don't think I missed your 'Miss' right there. I get that you're crazy for your brother and so naturally want to get rid of me, but don't try to blame me for grabbing onto the wrong leg!! This sister right here is INNOCENT. "We must spend more time with each other and get to know each other better." Princess Cordelia's words contradicted her facial expressions. Fires of fury and hatred were smoldering in the small narrowed eyes of the princess as she weighted the pros and cons of the various and creative means available to her for extracting revenge.

It's not that I didn't understand her state of mind, it's just that I loved my life too damn much to give it away just to appraise her, I was determined to keep living and go back home even if it meant I had to go head to head with this shrewd princess.

No sir, can't do. I can't die like this. I hoped to arrive to my death, late, in love and a little drunk.

So, I arched my head low, and looked at my messy plate of half eaten food with hooded eyes while muttering a perfunctory consent to her insincere invitation.

The man, who was the centre of this entire farce didn't utter a single pipe from the beginning to the end. And the most mortifying lunch of my life ended just like that.

"Now wasn't that fun." Was what came out of Reuben's stinky mouth when we were finally out of the Queen dowager's den.
